Verner, Comptroller-General, is making his annual Inspection of the books and offices of the County Auditors, and this people will not be surprised to learn that all 16 well In Abbeville. The General is newly elected to office, but is actively at work making all needed changes In his office, and will ask the Legislature to make the present system more complete by bringing the actings and doings of the County Commissioners more nearly beneath the eye of the Comptroller-General. It Is said that Mr. Verner is one of the brainiest men on the State ticket, and we are perfectly sure that he should be continued in office for another term, at least The Colt Show. Don't forget the colt show on Sale Day in September. Let everybody come, and let the scrub colts have a place in the picture. Messrs. A. M. Hill & Sons will furnish lot room free ol cost. Every colt should be registered, so that we may publish the name of the owner, the age of the colt, and the sire of the colt. Improved Machinery. Mr. J.S. Hammond is going into tbe harness business with an eye to business and financial success. The newest machinery used in making harness may now bo found in his shop, and he can now make a set of harness for a little more than the cost of the leather. The train on the Abbeville branch Jumped the track on last Monday, causing a delay ol several hours in the arrival of the midday mall. Such accidents should be expected occasionally, under the lightning schedule now In vogue. Miss Edna Tusten who has been visiting hor friend Miss Louise Tompkins, of NiuetySix, has returned to Abbevillo looking as charming as ever.

Quite an enjoyable gathering of young people took place at the home of Hon. J. S. Cotnran on last Friday evening. Miss PiturTT a charming young lady from Bradley's has been for several days the guest of Miss Susie Wilson. Abbeville seems to be infested with trifling dogs.

Some more very hot weather during the past week. Some partial showers in our township. The planters are resting, preparatory to the gathering of their crops. Mr. Robt. Moorehead. of Anderson county, was here on the 4th and staid over a day or two at Mr. R. L. Moorehead's. Mr. E. H. Mathews, of Atlanta, was here for a day or two the first of last week. He expects soon to become a citizen of our town. Misses Annie and Lizzie Gibert, of Lebanon, spent last week atCapt. W. G. Johnson's and with other friends. Judge T. A. Cater, of Monterey, was in town on last Wednesday. Misses Leona Blake and Mamie Williams, of Greenwood, have been In this community for the past few days. Miss Cora Hawthorn, of Latimer, has been at our bouse during the past week. Mr. Jas. M. Giles, of Abbeville, being on a visit to his mother Mrs. T. A. Cater gave our town a short call on last Wednesday. Messrs. A. J. Wait and Gains, of Anderson, were around bere last week as agents for a grazing arrangement wnicu seoms 10 "nil the bill."' Mr. M. B. Sturkey, of McCormick having been the guest of his brotner for several days returned home last Tuesday. Prof. J. F. Harper reopened his school for the fall term on last Monday. Miss Fannie Booker also resumed the exercises of her school, near the depot on the same day. A day or two of last week some of our folk had the pleasure of eating some very fine "cats," caught out of Savannah river. Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Donnald and their children went over to Hart-well last Monday. Mrs. Donnald will spend some time at that place, her old home. Rev. and Mrs. W. $. Martin and Miss May Brocklnton went to Spartanburg last Tuesday, to attend the Inter-State Grange Encampment. Mr. Jake Welsh, of Anderson, the great cattle man of Anderson county was around here last week trying to buy a car load. Miss Elleta Henry, of Spartaubury, is now and has been for some days on a visit to her friend Miss Fannie Horton. Mrs. Emma Moore aud Miss Maggie Lati- 1 mer spent several days with kinsfolk In and near here last week. There was a pleasant gathering of youne people at Dr. J. B.

Rev. A. J. Cauthen, Presiding Elder according to appointment preached here in the Methodist church last Friday forenoon, and . In the afternoon he presided in the third quarterly meeting for this station. Last Friday the first primary was held throughout the county. The election at this place was one of the most quiet and orderly , held. The friends of the respective candidates, worked with a will, but so far as is known not one used any unfair means to attain their ends and throughout the day that harmony and good feeling existed that should always characterize such occasions. Mrs. J. W. Huckabee and Miss Lucia Mose- i ley left on Saturday for Greenville to visit. Mrs. W. R. White their sister, who we are sorry to say has been quite sick for sometime. In last week's Press and Banner, "Observer" Is. to say the least or It. slightly inaccurate, when, in speaking of Miss Fannie Booker's 1 school, he says that it "is near Lowndesvllle, as Troupe puts it" would be glad to know how he got his information. If he will show me when I "put it" that way either in my private utterances, or any other way, I will sue for pardon ana promise for the future, ; not to allow my prejudices or ignorance, to lead me so far as to state a palpable falsehood. This school is in Lownaesville and 1 every body knows it and it would be either the blindest Ignorance, or most wilful misrepresentation that could "nut it" anvwhere else. We had a "flower girl" here on the -1th who proved to be not only a success In that line, but also as agent for the "little blind God," Judging from tho actions of some of our young men. The workmen have completed the walls of the brick store of Messrs. T. Baker & Son on the right side of Main Street, and their dwelling on llell Street will soon be finished. To some of the candidates the canvass has closed. Some of them are subjected to a still further three weeks strain. Let us one and all resolve, that this new canvass, as to speak, shall bo as cleun a one. as the old was. TROUPE. MOUNT CARMEL AT SPARTANBURG. , WrM) n p the Place, aud What He Sn^ln the New City. s Spartanbuho, S. C., August 13,18SS. From the above you will see I have changed my base and will write you from the thriving and wide-awake city of Spartanburg. After a hot and dusty ride of about 107 miles, myself and family reached this city, where we found everybody in a whirl of excitement over the Farmers Encampment, which will commence Monday the 0th instant. Crops in this section are fine and the farmers are happy, while the merchants wear a contented smile looking forward to a big trade in the fall. /1>. AunnHrltriil ivn mnnt n f AM AO (a ttuj Y*rolf V home on Magnolia street, where Bishop Duncan and family reside. Here we received a warm welcome, and soon felt perfectly at home. We have always heard this was a happy home and can now add our testimony to the lact When we takeinto consideration the comforts, tintl luxurious surroundings and the sweet, loving, and amiable disposition of Its Inmates we would be surprised to ttud it otherwise. We shared tho generous hospitality of this family until Monday morning when we bade them goodbye. This visit will ever linger as one of the brightest spots in the memory of our life. We are now met by relatives and enjoy a delightful ride of 3 miles, fanned by the early zephyrs of the morning, fresh from the mountain side: the scenery is picturesque, grand and sublime; on every side we behold the bluo capped mountains lifting their rugged peaks far up Into the clouds. We now reach the beautiful home of relatives where fond ties that have been severed for many long years are once again renewed between child and mother. Oh! what Joy to meet once more those we Xondly love and to hear the sweetest name I that over fell from mortal lips sounding upon our ears, that of "mother." The nights and mornings are quite pleasant giving to the weak and weary refreshing sk-ep, which Is here, surely kind natures "sweet restorer." We are now near the waters oi Lawson's fork creek where the Whitney Manufacturing Company are building a large factory "0x200 feet, which will give employment to over 200 hands. A force of 75 to ion hands are at work, and everything is being done to hasten Its early completion. This is a great and progressive enterprise in Spartanburg county and is worthy of the attention at least of other counties. We think Abbeville would do well to follow her example In this enterprise, lor no county possesses greater natural advantages. We will now take our readers to the "Farmers Encampment" where tho committee of arrangements have done everything within their power lor the pleasure and comfort of the visitiug people. There is a large building with a eapat ity of 2,700 people in the center of all the buildings, called the Tabernacle, on the ground floor Is where the crowd assemble to hear the addrosses of the many distinguished speakers and to listen with rapturous delight to the sweet aud stirring strains of music from the Spartanburg band. Overhead of this spacious building is what might prop jrly be called Agricultural hall where all kinds of farm aud garden produce are neatly arranged. As we leave this building we see the sanctum of tho "Knights of the Quill, who personally represent the Neivs and Courier, the Chronicle, the Greenville yews, and the Charleston Worttf, all and each of whom we suppose will give a minute and graphic description of the Encampment ana Its surroundings. We are now welcomed into the building occupied by the "Womans Temperance Cnrlstiexn *' r\f ftnnrfonhiircr urhinh hflS A membership of 100, and has t>een organized and actively engaged In thisgiand and noble work lor ten years, and Is now a chartered body owning property in their own name. On looking around we notice many beautiful and appropriate mottoes. We notice their State banner (made of artificial flowers) bearing tbe appropriate words "Seeking to Save." We next notice a beautiful banner presented by the Alabama State Union bearing the words "Surmount all Difficulties." Here we And the "Shield of South Carolina." We now note the photograph of Mrs. Chapln, of Charleston, whose interest in this great work Is so widely known. We also see here the photograph of Miss Fradcls E. W lllard who is the National President of the "W. T. C. Union." The Farmers Encampment was a grant success in every way, and if it increases in future as in the past it will certainly encourage the development of many of the Industries of Spartanburg county that would otherwise remain unnoticed by the people. The exhibits In every department were good. Owing to tbe hot weather tbe stock exhibit was not as good as it would have been had it been cooler. The display of "Fire Works" was grand Indeed to behold. On Friday evening the 10th mo eucarapmeni orone up auuun remmcu w their homes delighted with their visit to Spartanburg. M. Campaign Dots?Pretty Women and Por?itUent Bachelors? Remarkm on Various Matters. Ninety-Six, S. C., August 14. Mr. George M. Anderson, in digging a well near his mill house, found something resembling an eel 6lx inches long, 30 or 40 feet below the surface of the earth. Br. Wenck will bottle him up and send him to Washington. Miss Carrie Givens, of Beaufort, is visiting Miss Mary Rogers. We think ihe attitude of the News and Courier towards Capt. Tillman is unfortunate. He is simply obeying the behests of his party, and in all respects should be treated as an honest partisan. The Blackvllle affair will make him many friends and make his cause more popular. Miss Carrie Sams, ofGaffney City, is visiting her uncle and family, Mr. C. P. Roberts. Col. J. P. Phillips has gone to Knoxville In the interest of toe Carolina, Knoxville and Western Railroad. Mrs. L. B. Jones is now located at Chick Springs, near Greenville. This is a favorite summer resort and quite a numbpr of our Xiuety-Six people are there for the summer. Some amusing swaps and trades occurred here on the day of the primary election. The early completion of the Carolina, Knoxville and Western Railroad is a conceded fact Our Augusta friends should now come to the front. They have now no excuse. The same will be built Col. and Mrs. J. H. Rice, who have been spending some time in the mountains, have returned. A tramp paid the treasurer of our town 85 last week for the pleasure of getting drunk. Mr. L. A. Martin died at the residence of bis mother, near Fellowship Church, last , of typhoid fever. His mother, sister and brother, who survive him, have the warmest sympathy of many friends. Farmer Probst on top. Farmer Probst was the tlrstman to bring in an open boll of cotton thisyear. He has shown us a limb with three open bolls on it. Mr. Jerome Bell, one of Greenwood's handsomest young men, was in our city last week. When asked 11 he was a candidate, he said yes, but it only requires one vote to elect; but somehow or other it has been a very protracted campaign. Miss Annie Blake, one of our prettiest young ladles, bast returned from an extended visit to lireenvllle and Chick Springs. The Rev. W. P. Meadows and family have gone 10 ine mountains ior a nioniu. Capt. McCaslan has the best crop of cotton that I have seen this year. Ninety-Six gave Capt. Waller the biggest vote en last Friday, and we look for Greenwood to return the compliment in the Becond primary. Vote for Moore. EAST END. To tlic Yoterw of Abbeville County. Having been thrown into the second race In the primary election for County Commissioner for Abbeville county, I take this opportunity of thanking the voters of the county for their support heretofore, and as my public ilutieB will prevent my canvassing the county, would respeetfuily ask your support in the ooming primary election on the 31st instant. I will cheerfully abide the decision of my fellow-citizens. Respectfully, August 14,1883. G. M. MATTISON. DeatliN. Rev. Edward T. Jones, Arkansas, died May 28, aged 62. Rev. A.

Romish Schools.?Joseph Cook, in the prelude to one of his recent lec tures,|made the followingpoints against the Romish parochial schools : 1. It is historically true and notorious that Romish priests when they had their way never yet gave in theii parochial primary schools sufficient instruction to tit a population for the responsibilities of free government. 2. Roman Catholic parochial schools are avowedly [intended to utterly destroy the American public school system. 3. The instruction given in them is always sectarian, generally multilated and sometimes thoroughly misleading "Rxamnlea wore eriven from oue or twc X o Romish text-books. Bismarck de clares that the saddest sight he evei saw was that of the multilated text books used in the French schools Mr. Froude found their systematic multilation both in Europe and Amer ica. 4. Roman Catholic authorities wholly deny to the civil governmeni the right to conduct the secular educa tion of the people. 5. The Church denies to the parent the right of private judgment in tht matter of education. Refusal to sent nhiMi'on nripqf.'s sp.hnol is fnl lowed by n denial to the rites of tli< Church.

HARRIS, Pres'fTstaunton, Va. Across the Equator to South America. Monte Vidko, Uruguay, April 24, 1888. Dear Neighbor : All in all, I was considerably pleased with the Cape Verde Islands. The quiet, easy-going life of the inhabitants had something very attractive in it for me, and the balmy atmosphere was so delightful that I was loath to leave it when the day came to re-cross the Atlantic and pass through the torrid zone in order to reach this end of America. "Neptune" did not come aboard our ship as we entered the equatorial belt, and so nil the novices escaped the rigors that would Lave attended a reception of the water god. For days and days together, while in the "doldrums" near the equator, the sea was perfectly calm, and the heat was intense?the thermometer raDging from 80? to 103? both day and night. Our hottest time was on the 17th of March -just when our friends at home were shivering with the chill of a prolonged winter. It frequently happens that a sailing vessel is caught in the "doldrums" and delayed for weeks, on account of the prevailing calms, or fickle baffling winds. Most sailors dread this part of the ocean, because there is really no calculating when a vessel (wholly dependent on sails) can escape from its becalming power. Owing to the existence of yellow fever in Bio de Janeiro, the Nipsic did not put into that port, but cruised along the Brazilian coast, and made its first stop in the harbor of Monte Video, (pronounced Mont-y Ve-da-o.J The view of the city from the harboi is a pleasant and inviting one. II rises from the water's edge and slopes gently back to the outlying hills ol the suburbs. Every thing has a bright, ? cieuu appcuiuuuv, tuc uunuiugs aic ui stone, or brick ebvered with "stucco,' and they cousequently contribute much to the general brilliance ol the spectacle. 1 The storey are very handsome, esI pecially the jewelry bazaars : in win dow displays they surpass the greal shops of New York, but in size tbej are very insignificant. Diamonds an the chief attraction, but as they art the Brazilian stones they do nol i amount to much in value. From th< mention of their cheapness jt may b< safely surmised that they are worn tc .a great extent by the "shoddy genteel' people of the city. The average sporl is, indeed, a dazzling sight to behold for he can get up a tremendous shim for very little money. Wealthy and fashionable folks ir Monte Video reside in suburbar "quintas" (keen-tas) during the sum mer months,?that is to say from th< first ot December to tue middle or April These quiutas are marvels of architec tural beauty, and the large parka anc gardens that surround them trausfonr the scene into a fairy village. Fancy if you can, hedges of choice gerani i jutns, minature valleys of lilies, hill sides clothed with violets, and grea ; banks of tube roses! 'Tis more thar fairy-land,?'tis very like a glimps< into an imaginary Eden. The quintas are upon the road lead ' ing from the city out to the "Prado,' or park, in which the chief attraction! for me are the avenues of eucalyptui trees. The eucalyptus is a very sym > metrical tree, and these grow to 2 height of about eighty feet, when their branches spread out and inter lace till they vault with living greer i the beautiful promenade beneath. , The Cathedral is a magnificent pil< . of white marble, which glistens bril ) liantly as far as its massive form can b< * seen, x no nui recuu us uiuieusiuu; r just now, but some idea of its immensi * ty can be gained when I say it accom . modates eighteen hundred people a 5 mass, or other general services, to say nothing of the numerous shrines an( confessionals scattered promiscuously i throughout the sanctuary. I visit thii t Cathedral very often ; to tell the truth * I drop in almost every evening just a candle light, when a weird stillnes ^ pervades the house, broken only by . some devout worshiper moving fron I shrine to shrine, or when I, mysell creep softly through a dimly lighte< J passageway. Attaining a favorabl position for observation, I peer througl the semi-darkness at the reverentia people as they cross themselves an< f humbly bow and pray to their patroi i enintq Tf, is snlpmn And ininressive i despite the prejudice with which ! 5 have been accustomed to regard sucl forms of worship. 1 Now and then a dark shadow flit: by and startles me for an instant; i shaved Franciscan passes near me f keeping his faithful vigil of the night J Not far away I hear the trembling r voice of a child at the confessional r and, a moment later as she rises to leave 1 I see the swarthy face of the "Padre' where he sits to receive the secrets o: i his people. A silvery peal chime* 1 from the sacristy, and quickly th( I Franciscans swing their smoking cen sers before shrines and altars, and then i march in solemn single file along the 1 aisles, and disappear in the darkness - behind the pulpit. With tlie pungent > odor of incense pervading the atmos' 1 pliere, aud with the many stranpj< J sights around me it was easy to lost ' myself in revery, and give way to tlx i enchantment of my surroundings, t< ) awake from tlie spell only when ] forced myself to realize the hollow ness and sham of the show that liai J charmed my drowsy seuses. i Monte Video has numerous "Plazas,' ' or public squares, and in the principa ones bands of music entertain the pub lie every evening from 8 to 10 o'clock During the escorts the promenades are oqprded with strollers of every class, from the chlgf inilitary functionary and his wife to the Jolly gamin of : 2 the town. In most of these plazas yj. there are handsome monuments and ^ statues, commemorating some dig- VJ| tinguished man, or some important -i'X event. The interior finishing of the private residences is larerelv in white marhle. Hall floors, stairs, wainscoting and window frames are almost always < found in this style. At first I thought -..-'S it looked cold and chilly, but when I ry.% called to mind that the weather here ^ is always like either our May or Octo-' f| ber, it was easy to understand how ' -f well the interior appointments suited '' ~"\jf (he natural surrounding*. "Marble ^ halls" are no rarity down here, and as each house seems to vie with Its ^ neighbors in point of its glistening ;:'M grandeur inside, one does not ^grow retired of seeing them merely because ' they are met with on every hand. One of the most flourishing enter* ' prises in the city is the "Children's 'M Hospital Lottery Company." It holds o weekly drawings for the benefit of the institution named and for the idle swindlers who superintend its dishon-' 5g est workings. Tickets are peddled all over the city by men, women and children, and are also exhibited for sale in cigar, drug and candy stores 'M and brokers' offices. Frequently I am v accosted by a vender as I enter the . .? very doors of the Cathedral,?but this ? is not counted amiss by priest or peo? pie, so the nefarious trade thrives prodigiously under the eaves of the auuf . 7>? tuary. In striking and glorious contrast to ? the despotic corruption practiced by ^ the representatives of the Romish i , church, the Protestant minister! and '? | their adherents are sowing the seeds | of love and religious liberty among . the long-down-trodden people of this region. This is no stereotyped phrase ' *? \ intended for the disparagement of one ~'k f sect and the praise of another, for I ' "ji abhor the narrowness that will not ^ I- recognize and admit whatever good J , exists in a character or a body not > wholly, or even much, in accord with 4fl| j. itself. I feel no such necessity re&tlax^^ upon me in this case, as a careful anq* ''M impartial examination of the two or-s ->$ ganizations reveals such results as re- jJg , dound to the credit of the Protestants alene. Enlightened men, high in authority ^ [ in both Uruguay and Paraguay, are '"Vj* | rapidly learning the disadvantages at- ||| 4 tending the dominion of the Romish -t Church over the masses of their Deo- -V. j pies. Not only are they learning this , truth, but they are gladly encouraging % t the introduction of ProtestantlsQi "pt throughout both countries. Quite re- \ [ cently at the dedication of aMethodist Church in Asuncion, Paraguay, . ( the Governor-GeDeral of the Provinee j| { attended the ceremony, and, upon being reguested to address the congrega, tiou, responded very cordially, expressing his appreciation of the bless- , [ ing of Protestantism, and extending a % welcome to all Christian denominat tions to Paraguay. This is but a fair ;.?g illustration of the opportunities afford-' [ ed Methodists and others for spread- V ing the Protestant form of the Chris~ tian religion in both these countries. The Romish Church is conducted . -~M I differently in a country where it is (as it were) on sufferance, from where it ; tv*oofarir WVicrooa In fKo >^^?1 uulua iuc uiaoivij. tt ?u vmv ->t ^ ] the United States, it is doing a consid- M , enable amount of what may be termed\iissionary work in connection * with its other labors,?in countries where it is firmly established, the ' ^ earnest Christian spirituality that should attend its priests seems supplanted by convival carnality basked up by the despotism of power gained through religions superstition. The Methodists have a neat, commo" dious church in this city, and mains tain suburban missions as well. There seems a happy unity among the members, which results, in earnest labors " in behalf of their less favored neigh bore. Services are held in English at j one hour and in Spanish at another; schools are conducted for the free in' struction of boys and girls, men and^^__ women, both day and night. ?' , J It will, of necessity, take very; ;V| long time to obtain any considerable 9 foothold for ^Protestantism in this ^ country, but certainly no Christian . missionaries can expect greater con* j cessions to be made them than are already offered by Uruguay and ParaI gu&y. j In my next letter I shall take my j readers for a trip across the Bio de la Plata into the land of the Argentines.
