Mk, The Press and Banner <8E?-Published every Wednesday at ?2 a year in advance. Wednesday, August 8, 1888. Noh Store in Abbeville. Messrs. White Brothers have torn away the old well known wooden building on "White's corner," preparatory to the erection of an elegant place of business, in modern architecture, to be two stories high, and 90 by ' )>> feet In dimensions. Kvery lover of Abbeville must rejoice at the prosperity of these prominent merchants which demands of them the erection of a third store room to accommodate their already immense and still growing business. Mr. McMillan is making the brick, and It. is supposed that tho building will be ready for accupaney at an early day. Already the necessary excavations aro being made. MoMquitot'x. Our quiet little town has for several weeks past been invaded by an army which renders ' Tired nature's sweet restorer" almost an impossibility. Zip, zip, zip,' all night long we are serenaded with the music of these unceremonious creatures. In vain do we seek for quietude and repose. What can be the cause of this, and where do they come from? If there can be one man found In tlie town 01 Abbeville possessed of energy and enterprise enough to seek out the cause of this nuisance and can prevail on the citizens to take the proper steps to remove the annoyance, we will gladly pay otir proportion towards having a bronze statue of him erected aud placed on the public square. Death or Dr. II. (*. KIii(;h. Dr. Henry G. Klugh one of the oldest and best known citizens of this county is dead. He died at home near Greenwood, after*a somewhat protracted illness. Dr. Klugh was one of the most practical and most successful farmers in Abbeville county, and always held to the Idea that the farm should be as nearly self sustaining as possible. The Doctor was a goodcltizen, and Ills example iu frugality and the application of business principles to the best business in the world?farming?were worthy of all imitation. D*n't Forget Them. Owing to circumstances we know their competitors will pardon us for reminding the voters that Capt. J. M.Cochrane of Due West, Is in the Held for Clerk, and that Mr. H arvey 11. Wilson Is in the race for Coroner. The qualifications of these gentlemen is unques tloneu, ana meir willingness iu serve m-eu not be doubted. This statement is made because of rumors to the effect that they were not candidates. ' Religious Meeting. A religious meeting has been going on for several days in the Baptist church at this place.

This officer is to be nominated at the primary on 10th of August at the same time as the other Officers, and 1b to be voted for in the same box and on the same ticket. Do not forget, therefore, to vote for Solicitor. Attention ! Abbeville Rifles. There will be a full dress drill of the company Thursday attemoon 9th at 6 o'clock. A full attendance Is desired.

Banner have been either resting or sweltering in the heat, and almost unable to work for the last six weeks. All hands hope to beat their posts in a little while, refreshed and invigorated so that we may work the harder this winter.

Several of our young ladies and gentleman picnlccd at Little Mountaiu, one day last week, thoy say the "Mountaineers" pronouueed it the picnic of the season?Alt. tunnel genially does things up riglit. Mrs. Ida Wardlaw accompanied by her daughter, Miss Willie are here on a visit enroute for Lincolnton, Ga., their home. Miss Id;i .Miller ol tne place win accompany mem, where she will remain at school for sometime. Mrs. U'rii. Scott, aucl family passed through our town visiting relatives at Willmgton. Miss Addie Caldwell, a charming young lady of Newberry arrived here to day visitins the family ol her uncle Hon. \V. lJ. Mars. Mt. Carmel, was represented in Lowndesvllle, today by many of our ladles and gentlemen who say they had a delightful time, and praised the hospitality of the Lowndesyille people. The article iti last weeks Press Banner endorsing the action of the late Grand Jury in appointing an "Expert" to investigate the books of our county official as well as commending the services of the expert, was not by any means censuring our county officers, for the signers ol said article did not endorse the entire action, manner of presentment, personal correspondence, Ac. but only the investigation of the booksand the appointment of an expert for said duty. In fact the principcl object in view was to publicly express the voice of this people in overhauling the State books. The signers are friends of our county officers and not a few of the signers will stand by them through evil as well as through good report. Tho irmnd olil oak in front of W. It. Powell's store attords a cooling shade for the weary traveler by day as well as by night. It is worthy of the many compliments paid it as It is one of the land marks of Mt. Carmel. Our depot is nicely ceiled and has two nice, and comfortable waiting rooms, as well as a conveniently arranged olllee. Mrs. Moseldy of Laurens, is here visiting her son our ellicient and obliging depot agent. On the eveniug of the 31th July Miss Minnie Covin, of Mt. Carmel and Mr. Marshall Kay, of Antreville, were happily united in the bonds of holy wedlock, by the Rev. A. L. Pat terson, quite a number of friends and relatives witnessed the happy union, and tendered their kindest congratulation; and as mementoes of their- love, and takens of rcmemberance presented the bride with many beautiful and handsome presents. Mt. Carmel has lost a charming young lady, and Mr. Kay has won a Jewel rare. May the goddess of fortune ever smile upon them, and their life be one of eternal sunshine and happiness is the wish of writer. We heard the name of the Itev. 15. F. Miller, sugcested as a compentent person 'to take charge Mt. Carmel's high school. We trust there is some foundation in tills report, as we know he is fully competent, and believe the trustees could not secure the service of one who would be more faithtul in the discharge of his duties and who would be more acceptable to this people. Put your name before the trusiees Hro. Miller and let us bid tor vou. We would be glad to give you a hearty welcome to our town. Crops are growing and doing well, and our farmers seem to be in better spirits. Our "wide awake" L>r. Carlton was culled to Wiiiington. this evening to consult with Dr. W. E. Link, in a very important case. This is finite complimentary to our young doctor. The.: loth, of August will soon be here, do your duty reader?stand by your true and tried friends, remembering their virtues and forgetting their faults. Our candidates aud county oflicers were discussed to day by quite a number of gentleman, and the conduct of our present county oflicers was nobly defended against the prejudice of one or two by many friends who swore allegiance to them and to support them usainst any and all persons lawfully claiming or trying t<> elected to said oflices. Why do the people keep up a continuous by howl against these oflicers whom the grand jury acquitted by their wordsaml actions, and Against whom the court found no faults, j.et usgtve the subject earefuljand honest consideration and we will be more charitable in our views?remembering that we too have faults and commit errors dally?and where is the man who does not'/ it is said, "There's always a wheel within i wheel."

Kinard, acandidate for legislative honors across the line, it. is said, will head the ticket. - He is a good man and win well represent old Edgefield. We recently receiveda letter from Mr. r<. M. Moore, one of the directors of theC. K. A: Western Railway (Joinpany. He is fuli of hope and says that if we will only have a little patience we will get our road. That already 10 miles nro ironed and received. That it is the intention of President Humbert, as soon as they strike the loot or the mountains, to turn back and finish up the lower end. This is in deed very gratifying information. Tbat "Gatling gun." Thore of our friends who saw this gun at Greenville say it is a most, wonderful engine of war. Tlie welcome rain of last Friday evening has done incalculable good. The crops though considerably injured will still be good if no misfortune befalls them later on. Our city fathers certainly employ some of the laziest negroes to be found in the country. Can't they do hetier ? \vo hope the? F.dwiield friends all along the lino will vote, for Mr. F. V.

There were several other journalists in the city, at one time and another, but they did not get to the meetings of the Press Asso/.intinn Afoccro TM"otflpU TfpVS Sinfl I Cohen were new members, being proposed and elected at this meeting. When the meeting was called to order by President McSweeney, at 9 o'clock Tuesday night, the Chaplain of the Association, Rev. Sidi H. Browne, invoked Divine blessings on the deliberations of the Association and returned thanks for the privilege of agaiu meeting together. The business transacted was mainly of a rontine order, and it would not be of interest to repeat it in this connection. Maj. Holmes announced to the Association that since ourlast annual meeting two of our fellow members had been taken from us by death, viz: Mr. E. A. Bronson, of the Barnivell Sentinel, and Col. E. R. Drayton, of the Aiken Itecoraer. a committee was appointed to draft suitable resolution iu respect ;to the memory of our deceased friends. Invitations were presented to the Association from Mr. H. G. Gilreath to visit the vineyards around the city, from the C., K. and W. railroad authorities for a jaunt over new steel rails to. the present terminus of the track, and from the citizens of Green' | ville to a banquet at the Mansion House at nine o'clock Wedue3day evening. The Association then adjourned until Wednesday morning. wednesday's session. During the session of Wednesday i morning, Capt. F.

After some deliberation a resolution was adopted that when the meeting! adjourn it should be to meet in Col- i umbia, on the evening of the second j Thursday in December next for the I transaction of busiuess left over at this meeting. THE ANNUAL ORATION. 1 At 11 o'clock the annual oration be- ( fore the Association was delivered by Maj. Johu W. Holmes, of the Barn ' well People. It was one of the hap- '< piest eltbrts ever made toward euter- 1 tabling a meetiug of South Carolina newspaper men and well met the approval of the audience. The speaker's 1 text, as he styled it, was "The Garden ' of Eden," and he made a very happy ' eflbrt to contradict the argument of an 1 eminent divine that Charleston was ( the site of the Garden where the foreparents sinned. Maj. Holmes, however, only extended the limits, and made the confines of the place where i all l'ruits and flowers flourish coter- 1 ruinous with the limits of South Car- ' olina. At the conclusion of Maj. Holmes' orator the Association requested a copy < of it that it might be spread upon the i minutes of the meeting, after which 1 an adjournment was had, subject to the < call of the President. A RIDE ON THE NEW ROAD. At 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoonl the members of the Press Association, together with about a hundred other ' invited guests, both ladies'and gentle- ' men, repaired to the Greenville and J Laurens depot, where a special train of elegant ears were in waiting to take them up the new Carolina, Knoxville and Western railroad as fur Us the track was laid, about six miles. President J. B. Humbert chaperoned the \ party, ably assisted by Maj. W. W. Starr, Superintendent of the Port Royal and Western Carolina road. The ( excursion train was pulled by engine ' No. 1, a mammoth extension-front coal burner, which bears the name of "J. B. Humbert" in honor of the president of ( the road, who is now so successfully engaged in pushing it to completion. THE BANQUET. j Wednesday night mine host Gates, i ALE, INSTITUTE. 10, 1888."

Tnrth hv inch these enemies of and religious liberty and ambitious v and unprincipled lovers of power and ' >*8 public money have been getting oon-^ trol of things in Boston.

Several addresses were made by conservative Christian men, showing %j| clearly the incompatibility of Roman- '$ ism with the genius of American civil and religious institutions. The object ^ of the meeting was, "to give expres- , v? sions to their feelings of indignation \'j* at the action of the school boapd In ^ connection with the exclusion of Sainton's Outlines of History from the pub lie schools aua tne censure or Mr. Travis, the teacher, who had unwittingly offended a Romish priest by y ' truthfully explaining the papal in- J dulgencies." .
