F r->. ? ??????? The Press and Banner. ABIJEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, August 22, 1888 Fintl B.ilc. Cotton is beginning t-o upon in Abbeville County. The first bale of new cotton, 4:tr> lbs, was sold yesterday by Mr. J. A. Rrooks. Mr. 11. W. Cannon was the purchaser at (J].| cents. Will Move. Mr. R. \V. Cannon will move from his present stand on the Mcllwaine eorncr to the store of Mrs. Robertson, on September 1st. His customers will make a note of this. The Old Tux DiMlgerN Collojje. We ask attention to the letter of Hon. F. A. Connor on the subject of agricultural colleges generally, and the Clemsou college in particular. TIip F.lrrtlnn. Let no man forget that Friday, August 31st, 16 the day lor the second primary election. The crop prospects In Abbeville are most excellent, while on a few spots here and there the crops will bo short, yet the crops in the main will average as good as we could wish for. The farmers have worked hard, and their Indebtedness on the crops average small. More than the usual attention has been paid to the enclosure of additional pasture lands. Miles of iron fencing have been taken to the farms. The stock of mule and horse oolts Is about tlie everage in number, and the outlook generally is well for the farming Interests. The farmers who make from six to ten bales to the plough, as a rule, are making money and tlicy generally have no trouble in picking out their crops. Our anxiety is for the three-bales-to-the horse iarmers. In case they should be unable to hire hands to pick out their crops their condition will bo lamentable, aDd doubtless much of their crops will be lost. When a farmer nearly kills hlmselt at work in the spring and succeeds in planting enough to make three bales to the horse, we are always afraid he may lose a large part of It?if he cannot hire negroes to pick It out in the Fall. Little Mountain has gotten to be quite a popular resort for picnic parties. There is a party of pleasure seekers there every day in the week. Every cottage is now occupied. With a small capital judiciously oxpended It could be made a summer resort sccond to none in the up country. DuPrk Calhoun, who is now located at Greenwood, spent last Sabbath in Abbeville. DuPre has grown to be quite a handsome yonng man, aud the wonder is that some one of our young ladles doesn't induce him to locate permanently in Abbeville. A fair and free expression is what is wanted at the polls. Take a copy of the Preuand Banner, and select your ticket, and don't acknowledge yourself something else than a freeman, by voting a ticket which another man proposes. txr ?ttpd "n Titctpv Vcn whn haft been on a visit to his family at this place, left yesterday for New York on a trip of business and , pleasure combined. He will be gone several weeks. The Abbeville German Club gave Its first regular entertainment on last evening at the Central Hotel. It was quite an enjoyable affair, and portends much for the club as a social organization. If you are a freeman, write and vote your own ticket, but if you are a nln cofhpoop and can be led to the polls by the nose, get a Smart Aleck to write your ticket and send up you to vote it. Mr. J. Y. Jones has been conducting a revival meeting at Sharon during the past week. A large number of converts and an increased membership are the results of his labor. Col. G. McD. Miller spent Saturday ntght, Sunday and Sunday night with friends In Abbeville. He was on his way home from the re-union of Orr's Regiment at Sandy Springs. Capt. Gus Miller, of Ninety-Six, is now on a visit to friends and relatives in Abbe-1 vllle. Capt. Miller has many friends here who are always glad to see him. Miis Leila McDii.l, of Donalds, was In town night last week. She stopped at the New Hotel. She Is a cousin of Mr. Hayne McDlll of our town. Mr. Scott will soon finish tho Presbyterian church, when he will at once sot to work building the new store for the Messrs. White Brothers. Adger Caliiocn*, Esq., who, with his family, has been visiting the family of Major Zelgler, left on last Monday for his home in; Shreveport, La. I Don't allow any man to supervise your ticket. Prepare It at home, and vote as you please, una not us somebody's singer may dictate. Miss Cecelia Chalmers, who has been visiting friends in Anderson, has returned to her home. Her many admirers rejoice to see her back. Congressman Cothran is now at home from Washington, having returned in order to be present at the reunion of Orr's Regiment. Mb. and Mrs. Haddon are off to the North-1 ern markets in search of the nowest and prettiest millinery in the world. James Glenn is at his place of business again, after having spent a pleasant vacation J at his home in Georgia. Mrs. Thos. P. Thomson has returned from Asbevlile, N. C., where she has beeu spending the summer. Bull-bat shooting is one of the principal recreations for the young men in the after-J noons. Kev. E. P.

Rosenburo is off to New York to buy a large ana varied stock. 8. C. (-asox, Esq., is off for a few day s on a pleasure trip to Georgia. a delightful picnic was given at Gllgal on last Saturday. Judge Cothhan Is at home. Will Marlon Tnke tho Risk. Marion Star. The Marion County delegation to the State Convention was elected before the beginning or the Stote can vass. Two weeks ago the Star called attention to the amendment to the Constitution of the State Democratic Tarty which says, "that delegates to the State Convention shall not be elected until ajter the completion of the State Cunvass." Will Marlon County take the risk of trying whether a delegation elected in contravention of the Constitution under which it Is governed, will be seated in the State Convention? What Does this Mean ? We find the following ih one of our exchanges : Will I* knna ?1*a ?w1 nrfti 1 nmitn* r\f Ho mother? The question relates to the child horn yesterday to >lr?. Paul Atkinson, nee Lula Hurst, It Is the Hist child of Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson since their marriage. Will Continue to Out Truat Prices. Rogers & Co., have taken tlie lead In the bagging and tie business. Their trade is Immense; it covers South Carolina and Georgia. They keep large consignments on spot to supply the city demand. They Bhlr> direct, if parties so desire it, from Boston, New York, Charleston, Port Royal, Savannah. They have cut trust prices on bagging daily, and, therefore, have been a great benefit to the trade. They bought largely several months ago and have resold it to the trade freely. This house has built up in a very short time one of the largest bagging businesses in the South.?Augusta Chronicle. To the Voters of Abbeville Connty. Having been thrown into the second race in the primary election for County Comrulssloner for Abbeville county, I take this opportunity of thanking the voters of the county for their support heretofore, and as my public duties will prevent my canvassing the county, would respectfully ask your support in the coming primary election on tiie 31st instant.

Extracts from Christian Neighbor Be Good Where Yon Are? It is the purpose of the Christian religion to cultivate the human plant in ita native soil. Each one after his kind must be developed, improved, perfected. Those engaged in busiuess may think religion an addition which cannot be made to their busy lives; if thev were students or were occupied | with sedentary pursuits the matter might receive attention, but certainly there is no time for its consideration by a man whose almost every hour brings pressing engagements with other men, whose mind is of necessityit seems?filled with immense plans and purposes. The artisan, if he thinks on the subject at all, dismisses it to thosp who have more leisure than he, to those whose constant thought is not how to earn to-morrow's dinner. Do not these who think thus forget that religion, as it is called, is only a principle of conduct, a high principle, it is true, yet a something to be received just where he stands,?a principle which makes the carpenter do an honest job, square corners and good lumber; a principle which makes the public speaker more dilligent in his collection of facts, and perfectly honest in his presentation of them; a principle which makes the poor errand boy do his errands quickly and i faithfully; a principle, indeed, which makes each man, in his own sphere, do his very best as to quantity aud oualitv of labor. Does the violet ever wish itself a rose? Does the oak ever covet the slender grace of the pine? Does the rose ever sigh for the cool retirement to be found under the clustering foliage of the violet? Does the pine sometimes covet the broad spreading boughs of the oak? Of men we do know that many think if they were only in some other position in life than that they occupy, that it would be an easy thing to be a good man. Ninety-nine chances to a hundred you will uever change your occupation or conditionbe a good man where you are; be an honest cobbler, a trustworthy servant, a careful accountant, a truthful writer, a sincere adviser and friend. Religion will not magically metamorphose a man 'a nufworH />irpliniqfft.nnp>R? hf? must consent to be a better and truer man just where lie is. "Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called." What's tlie Matter ? Many people in South Carolina or rather a few much-talking people seem 1 greatly concerned about the farming and educational interests of the country. They seem to have just waked up to a fact (?) that the people know little or nothing now-a-days about i [ farming, and that colleges and schools [run in the main at the expense of other than those who teach and learu] will set things all right. Now the truth is, after deducting the number of office-holders and officeseekers, the number of teachers and preachers and the would-bes and going-to-bes, and soon throughout the catalogue, how many are left to work in the field, the shop, or elsewhere, to make an honest living by the sweat of 1 the brow. Too many people want to ? live without work, whether at the ex0 pense of the people, 011 credit, sleight 1 of haud, or by playing "gentleman" it 0 matters not so they can get along with out soiling their fair skin, soft hands ? and lazy hones. No greater humbug r is buzzing over the country than that : of sending boys to "college," agriculb tural or any other sort, with a view of thoir becoming farmers ! Too much b big uupracticable talk and too little real j work is what ails the country. Governor John B. Gorden was re nominated by the Georgia Democratic State Convenliou. ME. INSTITUTE. . so, 1888.

If South Carolina would be what she claims to be, then let the proper officers see to it that all persons concerned in these cruel and disgraceful sports are prosecuted even as the law requires. Recently two of Miss Abbott's professional sisters had a real fight on the stage in Boston, the spectators rising and yelling enjoyment of the scene. Some women among the spectators fainted. Germane to the fisticuff between those two "ladies" in a theater is the report of a regular pistol duel between two other "ladies" at Canne, France, August 15. One was wounded in the chest, the other in the arm. "All the details of the 'code' were scrupulously carried out." And why not? The "code of honor" with "ladies" is or ought to be at least as high and sacred as that of "gentlemen," and if the latter may defend their honor by recourse to the duel, why should not the former do the same? No doubt the note of John Hemmenway in last month's Messenger, proposing at the end of this year to resign his position as associate editor, has caused regret in the minds of nearly all our readers. Few, if any, of them, we thiDk, share in his opinion that he lacks ability to furnish interesting and instructive matter for the paper. There are, doubtless, in the Society of Friends many men and women of talent and culture who could, if their hearts were in the work, furnish very able and instructive matter for the paper. But will they do it? Their hands are perhaps already full of work that suits them better, and yields a better income. Jt requires not only talent, but will to make an efficient worker in any cause. We have often wished that the paper had a man or woman at its head of more ability than ourself but thus far we have not been able to find such a person, and so we keep pegging away, doing the best we can for the time being. Our friends could greatly encourage and stimulate us by sending in new subscribers for the paper. We think the Messenger is a very good par\ckt* oa if ia hnf w/i hn qp1a<] tn UO IV 1U| IL/UV ??

The Messenger is an excellent paper, welcome to our office and in the family. We earnestly hope Brother Hemmeuway will hold on the peaceful tenor of his way. He, Brother Hill and other workers in the cause of Peace can rest after their work is finished. m >' His Lost Words?What Were They? On the 8th inst.

Many persons will not die contented if they do not hear what were those last words of the now speechless and dead soldier. What Should the Answers Be? Do I make timely arrangements for being present in worship at God's house ? Do I esteem it a great privilege and high honor to meet with the people of God in worship? Am I glad when the time comes to go up to thehouse of the Lord? Am I willing to make any reasonable and necessary sacrifice that I may occupy a place among the worshippers? In worship is it my purpose to please and honor God in all inward and outward acts of devotion and thus hope for edification in the divine life, or do I go to the house of God for my own pleasure to see and be seen and for entertainment in what I may hear from the pulpit and the organ and choir? Cruelty. What can be said in justification of the recent Gun Club tournament in Columbia in their forcing living pigeons to perform a part before their guns? Other kinds of sport?base ball, skating rink, &c.t while manifestly demoralizing, may not be charged with cruelty beyond the inflictions which the patrons of such sports entail on themselves; but when the wounding or killing of innocent dumb creatures l'or amusement is a foreseen and necessary result of such sport there wanteth not the 6in of cruelty "aforethought." Would that sportsmen have their amusement outside of cruelty to any and all dumb creatures. ? Since our last issue we have been seriously ill, and unable to be at our office for about two weeks, and are hardly able yet for full work, so that if this number falls below the usual standard, our friend9 will know how to judge us charitably. So says our dear brother Hill, editorin-chief of Messenger of Peace. It is earnestly hoped that ere this the Lord has raised him up to health and work.

We know that some preachers speak too slowly already, with what the late lamented Rev. William Barns called "a solemn slowness"?only another name for pulpit cant and tone and mannerism. But the rattler loees all reverence, all dignity, all "repose,"all real effectiveness. Some of us ought to say in a sermon only one-half that we now say in words, and with due deliberation and forceful impressiveness we should give the people more in thought, in brain, in real substance, in true holi ness. Let us talk slow enough to let , the people think. No sharper .'or more sensible criticism has been uttered for a long time than . . in this from the Chicago Tribune: "Some well-meaning and doubtless excellent persons act as if they thought there was more joy in heaven over the , saving of one condemned murderer than of ninety and nine ordinary sin* ners." A prisoner charged with forgery, who yearned for religious oonsolation, and was afterward proved innocent of the crime, when he saw the women passing his cell laden with flowers and tracts for a condemned murderer in another part of I he same corridor, said to the keeper that if he had only commited murder somebody might have shown him attention. The reports at a recent meeting of tne W. JYl. ft. or meojiuie ivock vonference show a decided advance in the work. There are fifty-two auxiliaries and thirty-one juvenile societies in the bounds of the conference. Since December they have paid $650. Yellow fever took a fresh start in Jacksonville August 19. Five new cases were found, two among the negroes, which created a panic among the only class of people heretofore unconcerned. Josiah Wilder, who took his life in Cincinnati recently, was noted as a friend of dumb animals, and toward the close of his life his sensitive coni cern lest they shold be treated cruelly became almost a mania.
