Monday night and yesterday during; the hearingof the Railroad case before the Master quite a number of friends paid their respects to the Press and Banner otnee, none of whom were more honored than Mr. A. A. Blyth, of New Market, who has advanced so far on life's journey, and who has so nearly reached me snores oi mr mvw nun. unuum that he might almost "hear the immortal symphonies of the city" beyond the swelling , tide. Eighty years of toll and usefulness has , sweetened his disposition and mellowed his heart, until his lifts and character are sur- , rouuded by a halo which makes his presence ever welcome and pleasant to all whom he may meet. Au Old Friend. Our good old friend Mr. John Gauklen, of Ninety-Six, was among those who honored the Press and Banner by a visit yesterday. He, like Mr. Blyth, has gone far on life's Journey. but his heart is young and joyous still. With a conscience void of offence to God and man, he lives for his children, and the grandchildren, whom he loves as only a grandpa- i rent can love. At peace with all mankind, ana a neurt ?u?;ii is uu ?tw|>iauic uucim;, <.v Him who tirst loved us, he waits for the end. Gordon's* Will. Many citizens have read the will of Robert C. Gordon. Since the death of his *on, Robert Thomas Gordon, various parties have procured legal advice as to their respective Interests. Messrs. Parker A McGowan, Mes.?rs. DeBruhl A Bradley. Colonel Gary, and perhaps other lawyers have been retained. \Ve ventured to give an opiuiou a weeks ago, in which we now believe we were mistaken, and at present disclaim any idea 01 settling any one or about a half dozen legal questions Involved in the settlement or the estate or division of the property, but a majority of those persons who have read the will, and whom we have heard speak, seem to think the children of James Gordon will not receive a large share of the property iu question. 1 Dr. Lindsay did not reach Hopewell / hnrnh Iiiki. wpek to attend the funeral of Mr*. McCombs. The telephone between Donalds aud Due West not being in working order the dispatch sent did not reach him in lime to go. ! He regrets this on account of the iriends o! the deceased and also on account of the large , congregation in attendance. Mrs. Mahy McCombs, at Hopewell church , died on Tuesday of iHst week. She was h member of the Presibyterian church and a | worthy christian woman. She had been a widow for more than thirty years, and for tin- i last thirteen years stie was a great sufferer. George E. Haynesworth, Trial Justice, of ' Sumter, who was accidentally shot in a rou I by litigants, while in the discharge of his. 1 duty, was the brother of Mr*. W. N". Calhoun. ' of Abbeville. He was a distinguished soldier In the Con federate war, and a rejected clti- 1 zen in times ot peace. It was he who iired the < first shot at the "Star of the West." Af!.-???? WAi.i.rvtiVonn nnd Russell have ' sold a car loud of mules and a car load ol horses. They are expecting two car loails of mules next week. Parties wanting mules , may do well to examine their stock. They | are determined to sell low for cash or at reasonable prices for credit. Mrs. Anna Morrow, died at her residence, ; below Mt- Carroel, on Tuesday of last week, i She was an honored member of the Methodist church, fruitful in good works and respected by all who knew her. She was In the j seventy-second year of her age. i Is It because of Mr. R. E. Hill's efficiency as a book-keeper and lus Independence as a citizen that his name whs stricken from the list 1 of grand jurors? We ask the question not knowing of anything to disqualify him for the blghaDd responsible position. The County Commissioners, we learn, will order the election on prohibition some time in March. The question now is, what are you going to do about it? Give the mntter your *>q rnest/vmaiflprfitimi tlw? iw rim* nf much importance. We had a sleet Thursday night, and sleet] and rain on Friday. The trees were covered , with Ice all day. At night the weather mod- : erated a little. Rev. Me. Betiika did not get to Willington church last Thursday, to preach the funeral oi' Mrs. Morrow on account of the illness of his wife. Messes. A. W. Smith and J. L. Hill have brought a car load of mules. The mules are at the New Hotel stables. Buckwheat!buckwheat! theself raising and the old fashioned buckwheat at E. A. Teinpleton's. Mb. A. W. Smith has Just returned from an extended trip to the West. Colonel Wallingkoed will bring fifty mules next week. ^ m ^? Abbeville Hotel Arrivals M. H. Coleman. A. H. Blyth, W. V.

Blast, writing about the New York JteruUVs re cent exposure of the TaHapoo<a swindle,says: J "For cool, organized and barefaced deception j it is without a parallel in the South. The wonder in that the governor of a great State, or any man having any character, should fori n moment permit his name to be associated | with such an enterprise, and that it is not de- | nounced and exposed by the press throughout the South is equally unfortunate. It isj such schemes that do the South much harm, and prevent the investment of capital audi emigration to places that have merit. If there is anything that would disgust a new corner or investor with the south and drive him to take the first train for home it would be a visit to Tallapoosa, where he would look In vain to find iron ore enough to run a blast furnace for an hour, or tor a gold mine that the sponsors for Tallapoosa would put a dollar in with the hope of getting it back.'* { I WELCOME BACK, AGAIN.

Mr. Wiley Sloan reads a selection on the oeea- r] sion. < We see that J udjjo Sit ton's name does not t, appear among those of the Trial Justices published. He is the decided choice of our citizens here, and the Governor was petitioned to ? reappoint him, uud his petition presented by our representative ltev. .J. N. Young and endorsed by all the Representatives in the house. The Governor very properly appointed him. His appointment was rejected by I the Senate, presumably on the objection of some of its members. This course by the Senate is simnlv "strainimr at a emit nml swallowing n camel." Who knows better than our deople and our immediate Representative what kind of a Trial Justice suits u us? Had there been any objection, or a con- i trary petition, there would then he some v uroutid f'ir such action.

He} < now cnlhusia?Ueover the prospects of the oail, and assigns substantial reasons ior me 'altli tliiil is in him. After a series of disappointments, success is about, to crown lifs efort<, and lie would therefore confine his talk o tangible realities. Mr. Seliolleld dealt in facts, toi frank and >pon in what lie liad to say ; exhibited papers us to prospects and progress. lie hadtiodylaniito secrets to hide or to explode over In* heads of newspaper reporters. Mr. Potts lias signed a contract to finish the. oad from Aiken to Edgefield in six months Voni the 2.1th of November last?the distance joins twenty-five miles. Although the weather has been unfavorable, vith the ?'hristmas holidays intervening, he lasalready finished one-fourth of the grading vhich lie had to do, and has .smoothed much :f theo'd graded track that has been exposed o t ho weather for years. Many thousand cross-lies have been gotten >ut. Thirty nuiles are now engaged in hnulng them to position alont; the line. The peode have readily and freely sold liini the :hoiccst timber trees?close to the line, and :hcap. Last Saturday over o ie hundred men were Ill llll- p.l,? ..Mi. Iredand fifty are complete. Mr. Potts is associntcd with a prominent louse in Now Yoik, who arc large denier* in ailroad supplies, and wlio are abundantly ible to furnish id I the needed ready cash. Iron for the whole twenty-live miles from liken to Kdgefield has been contracted for. Edgefield is 011 a boom. Heal estate Is being ought, and the town is thoroughly aroused at lie certain prospects of a railroad. The south Carolina Railroad Company are ntiroly friendly, and have made most liberal nil generous traffic arrangements, and the relate is to the holders of income bond*. These we believe, and understood Mr. Scholeld to say, were hard pan, bed rock, Inconrovertible and Indisputable facts. Then let 1 dm who has doubted, now doubt no more hat Kdfieflcld will get tbo railroad. We cave old Kdgetield now to her glory. What of Abbeville? That is the question hat concerns the people hereabout. We >ked Mr. Schofteld particularly as to our iiances of the road. Of this he had less to lay of a detinue ami positive naiure. ^ir. 'otts, lie said, had tj'ken the contract for the irst twenty-five miles on the express condllon that he should have the privilege of coninuing the work, if the necessary arrangeuents could be had for the money. Mr. Kchotield gave it as his own opinion, hat It rested entirely with ourown people, as o whether the road is extended from Kdgcield to this place. If the people along the iuc would contribute reasonable sums, it rould lie extended. No doubt about that. If hey did not contribute, it would not tie built. ?o doubt about that. Plain talk. What are on going to do about it ? The probability is that the townships along he line will be called upon at an early day to 'ote a subscription to the enterprise. Think ,l>out it. It is a business proposition. It is possible that some of the readers of the ?K.ij and Banner may remember that we had lt*cidt d views of our duty in the matter some wo or three years ago, when a subscription o tlie r*ad was agitaUd. I'nder similar eonlitions which existed then, we still hold to tie same earnest convictions, and If the prop- ! isitlon Is presented as before, we shall urge mi views;and then trust the people to act as , n their Judgment may seem best. We welcome Mr. Sehotleld to our communty. We are impressed with his earnestness. ,\*e are convinced of our duty. Wl.ll/. vistlilini' i!nr? <!ef.Toner* nnd a nroner ' ospeet to the opinions of those who may discut from our couvictloiiR, we trust that this onimunity may be alive to the issues, and nay have the Courage to do tlie ri^ht, ns it ' nay appear to each individual citizen. 1 When we have presented our views, our re. ponsibtlity as a Journalist ceases, and the lnividuai voter, in a collective capacity, asnmcs the safety and welfare of the town. .oniulcKvillc Topics nn<l Ohsirva- , Hons by ' 'Iriipe," Lowndrsvii,i.k, Jan. 10.1SSS.

Be it enacted by the Senate und House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met anil sitting in General Assembly, and by authority of tho same, That in all cases whero unimproved land which has not been on the tax books since the fiscal vpar pnmmpiipino "wnvenilinr lot 1s7s and which are not on the forfeited list, shall at any time before the 1st day of October, 1888, be returned to the County Auditor for taxation, the said Auditor be, and he is hereby, instructed to assess the same and to enter it upon tho duplicate of the fiscal year commencing November 1st, 1887, with tho simple taxes of that year.

The Advertiser has many friends here that wish it every possible success and a long life of usefulness. The energy, push and pluck of Lowndesville is admired by all. The Act passed by the recent General Assembly submitting the question of License or No License to the voters of the county requires that the election shall come oft' within ninety days from the time the Act became a law. There seems to be no effort on the part of the prohibitionists to bring about the election. This is strange, since so much fuss and noise about the matter a year ago. Time does not wait on any thing or any body, and the above is thrown out as a gentle reminder. Besides, this matter should be decided na smn as nnasible and before the liolit ical campaign opens. It is not properly a political question and should be kept apart from politics. Messrs. T. Baker, J. B. Franks and J. M. Baker, were in town last Tuesday on business. It is thought that work on the Georgia, Carolina & Northern railroad will be begun here sometime in May. The report is that one thousand hands are at work on the Chester end. This road is a certainty and will be of great benefit to Abbeville as well as to that portion of the county through which it will pass. Court meets here 011 Monday, 30th of January, Judge Norton presiding. This will be Judge Norton's first official visit here. He is a good man, a sincere Liinsuan uuu an upii^ui mnu in every respect, as well as learned in the law. There will be but, comparatively, few criminal cases for trial, and none of very great importance, except one murder ca9e. When this trial conies oft the facts will be reported in the Advertiser. Abbeville has a large number of schools presided over by good and competent teachers. Since a teacher cauuot handle properly more than twenty-five pupils, the number of our schools is a great benelit to the public. It might look belter to have one large school, but unless it be a thoroughly graded school, our present system of many schools is the best. lumbers of mules and horses are beingsoldat Abbeville at high figures. Judging from this there will be a great increase in the farming acreage of the county in 18K8. The Abbeville cotton factory appears ! to be asleep just now; or it may be I I Jf icj tfofnltSiur Mto nrnnri-ncu nf t!w> I j mat It m ?T MlV*.V"g Vi!V? |/IU^IVCW ^ri ?! ?

Crockery was smashed, but there was no other damage. Loaves iu the American Civil War. . Invesigations recently made in the War Department at Washington show that the late American Civil War was, T relatively, th? most sanguinary on ~Z % record. Though the Federal and Confederate returns are not altogether exact, the War Office i9 able to give a close approximate estimate of the killed, wounded and missing in the Federal forces. According to the statistics, 297,825 Union soldiers lie buried in the various national cemeteries. Including losses, of which no account can be takeu, the war cost the North 320,000 lives, or more than one in nine of all who entered the service. The two opposing armies met in over 2.000 skirmishes and battles. In 148 of these conflicts the loss on the Federal side was upwards of 500 men -^"""^1 and in at least ten battles more tban 10,000 men were reported lost on each side. The combinmed losses of the Federal and Confederate forces in kill- ^Ig ed, wounded and missing in the following engagements were:?Shiloh 24,000; Antietam, 38,000; Stone River, 37,000; Chanccllorsville, 28,000; Gettysburg, 54,000; Chickamaugua, 33,000; McClelian's Peninsula Campaign, 50,000; Grant's Peninsula Campaign, 180,000; Sherman's Campaign, 12o, mi. j Waterloo was one of the mo9t dea- i. * - ^ perateand bloodly fields chronicled in i European .history, yet Wellington's casualities were lest? than 12 pcrceogft : while during the American War.T|ti$ \ loss at Murfreesborough, Atlanta, Chickamuagua, Gettysburg and other place frequently reached and sometime exceeded 40 per cent., and the average of killed and wounded on one side or the other was 30 percent. . If the figures of the Confederate losses could be accurately ascertained, the total deaths in the late war would probably surpass 500,000. It is not a little curious that the losses and cap- . * tured men of the Federals, who were victorious in the struggle, almost equaled the whole of the Confederate forces. m w ' The lenght of the Suez Canal is vis niiiotf.twri milps- the dcnth twentv six feet.

President Cleveland has the enviable I reputation of supplying the cleanest |copy ever sent out from the White 'House. When Napoleon Bonaparte was elected first Consul he wrote, with his own hand, two* letters, one to the King of England and the other to the Emperor of Germany, in which he says he had acquired sufficient glory as a military leader, and he now wished to resuscitate France and become great :is a cival ruler. In his letter to England he uses the following language: "Must the war, Sire, which for the last eight years has devastated the four quarters of the world, be eternal ? Are there no means of coming to an understanding? How can two of the most enilgiueneu liituuiis ?u Europe, stronger already and more powerful than their wifely or their independence requires, sacrifice to ideas of vain glory the well being of commerce, interna! prosperity, and the peace of families?
