'S The Press and Banner ^'Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advauce. Wednesday, August 29,1888 Tlie Aiigustn Exposition. Mr. T. Perrin Wardlaw, ol Augusta, Is In town. He is an enthusiast on the subject of the grand Exposition which will take place In Augusta from October 10 to November 17, and he Is inspiring into our people something of his own zeal for the greatest Southern Exposition, excepting only the New Orleans Exposition. He reports that South Carolina has made arrangements to make "a State exhibit," and he hopes the fanners of Abbeville county will make some concert move toward competiting for the premium offered for the best county exhibit from South Carolina or Georgia. Mr. wardlawjsays that Aug usta Is full of South Carolinians, and that a large part of the business of that city is done with the people or this State, and he hopes that South Carolinians everywhere will unite with Augusta in the efiort to make the Exposition a great success. I A .School for Abbeville. Mr. J. W. Thomson proposes to open a first class school in Abbeville, and it is hoped that he will receive proper encouragement in so laudable an undertaking. He has the education, tact and ability to make such a school a BucceBB, and It really seein that this is the time to establish a first-class school on business principle?a school where trustees do not guarantee salary whether tho teacher discharges his duty or not. The amount of pasture land in Abbeville county Is constantly increasing. Some of our lands are more profitable as pastures than as tillable land. The grass crop never falls on low or wet marshy lands, ana the cattle will gather it every day in the year, without charge. They don't even ask to get Saturday or Sunday to go to town or to church, and then you don't have to wake them on Monday mornings. They are faithful servants, turning the grass Into flesh. Mr. Robert Sturky, long a citizen of this county and always a subscriber to the Press and Banner, was in town last week. He Is a wonderfully preserved man. possessing now at the age of eighty-six, all his faculties, and In perfect heatn. He is a practical surveyor of land, and an arbltor of neighborhood disputes. He has served his dny and generation with profit and the world will be better for his having lived In It. Owing to the arrangement between the railroads, whereby the passenger train for Spartanburg passes Greenwood some fifteen minutes before the arrival of the C. & G? train passengers from Abbeville are frequently oompellea to go to Greenwood or Verdery by private conveyance. In returning to Washington this week Judge Cothran drove to Verderv. Dr. J. Lowrie Wilsox was absent last week for several days, preaching In Edge Held. If there ever was a preacher who loved to work for the church, we think that man Is Dr. Wilson. He works at home nearly every Sunday, and between Sundays be preaohes for others. The Doctor has the entire confidence and unbounded love of his congregation. Mr. W. C. Norrell, Journeyman printer, formerly of Abbeville, but now of the Greenville News, Is on a visit to the old homestead, to rest from his labors, and to breathe for a while the pure and invigorating air of Abbeville. The good water and pure air Of Abbeville, taken with a little rest, will soon build up our young friend again. Capt. Williams the courteous oonductor had one "sleeper" on his "cannon ball" train from Hodges to Abbeville one day last week. The "sleeper" was a worn out preacher who fell asleep on the wav. He slept long enough to be entirely refreshed by the time Abbeville was reached. If the three-bale farmers can And enough negroes to pick out their crops, the country will be cafe. Those farmers who make from eight to fifteen bales to the horse seldom have any trouble about gathering their crops. It's the three-bale fellows that are In danger. Thb German Club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. Lee on Monday evening. Among visitors present were Miss Eloise Carwile, of Bradley; Miss Laura Grier, of Due West; Miss Frost and Miss Rhett, of Charleston; Miss Izzle Brut ton, of White Oak. %**"rrT Ka KaJnn? * Irt tVio olontlnn xautn lUbCiCOb ia ucuig iviv tu tuv vtvvv.vk. which is to take placenext Friday. Each and every voter seeniB interested in one or more of tne candidates, and every man asks his neighbor who will be elected?the neighbor being unable to give tbe information. Some of tbe new medicines which have come into use give promise of cutting the doctor's work short off?it seems inclined to kill off hand. The old way of torturing a patient a long time would be more profitable to tbe man of medicine. Mr. J. S. Hammond, with Mr. Norrell as foreman, is doing splendidly in the harness business. He has bought improved machinery, and reduced the price of work so much, that every man can have a new set of harness. The members of the Warrenton Presbyterian church are making preparations to complete their church building, they have already placed tbe contract for celling overhead, and hope to soon commence the work of plastering. Evereybody seems to bo holding his breath to see who will be elected next Friday Whatever the people do will be right, and the defeated candidates will take their disappointment with good grace. The bricks and sand are being piled high around the site of the Messrs. White Brothers new store. When work Is commenced, it will be pushed vigorou81y until it is finished. Mr. Scott will superintend. H? W f! Rwt.t. nrlnninftl nf the Trlantrle school, was in town last Saturday. He Is a good friend of the printer, and runs a most excellent school Just across the river from Erwin's mill. Mb. James Roche, a worthy young clerk in the atore of Mr. O. A. Douglass is lying at the house of his father Mr. E. Roche, in a critical oondidlon. Father Monaghan has been to see him.

Wilson before buying as he has a supply of them on hand. Call on him or applay at this office. The money for the carpet of the new Presbyterian church is in hand, with nearly enough left over to buy a-hundred-and-flftydollar reflector. Maj. M. G. Zeigler, Mr. S. J. Zelglor and Miss Benie Zeigler left for Hendersonville on last Monday. They will remain there for several weeks. On last Friday afternoon the Abbeville Rifles had a full dress parade.

Brooks worshipped at Rocky River church on last Sunday and report a good congregation as being present. Our merchants are snaking preporatlons for a big fall trade.

Address /John Alexander, Conoaree Ikon Works, Columbia, S. C. Ttie contract for building the Galloway Female College, at Searcy, Ark., b&s been let to a North Carolina builder for $29,000, the work to be completed in time for opening the school in September, 1889. Many Methodists in the State regret that the school couia not open mis year, out uiruuiustances prevented. The Evangelist has no doubt that the Sunday paper owes a large part of its patronage to professing Christians. The Christian Public has the remedy in its own hands; and, if it really wishes the supression of the Sunday newspaper, it can accomplish it by the easy process of letting it severely alone." A slight suspension bridge was built at Niagara Falls in 1848 and removed In 1854. A new suspension bridge, then the finest in the world, having a span of 821 feet, was completed in 1855. The great suspension bridge across Niagara River, from Niagara Falls to Clifton, Canada,was opened in 1809. Judge Holmes, of Washington Street M. E. Church, South, Kansas City, who died on August 5, left the followlegacies: Central College, Fayette, Mo., $10,000; Parent Eoard of Miss sions, $5,000; Marviu Loan Fund, Church Extention, $1,000. Bishop Hendrix transferred twelve men to the Denver Conference, and with several admitted on trial three remain nine works to be supplied. A benevolent Presbyterian in California, a few weeks ago, sent six checks of $5,000 each to six churches of his denomination. Habits of inattention, of mental indolence, of surface or of random thinking, of inexactstatement, though they may involve no conscious wickedness, are the source of widespread and insidious corruption of character. A Pennsylvania judge, not long since, decided that "no legal marriage can be celebrated on Sunday, marriage being a civil contract and therefore not lawful to be entered into on that day."

Fox OLO VIRGINIA SCHOOL, write for a catali j Extracts from Lomdesille Advertiser I ~~ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR. Hia Departnre His Trip The ; Friends of Col. McGowan ? The Editor's Return. Leaving the quiet village of Lown- ! desville, better known as the "Seven Jtiiuea uiiy," we ooarueu me oavaunah Valley lightning express yesterday for Western North Carolina. 1 Having boasted of never being left by a train, we did not care to have our record lowered on this trip, but would rather have had it lowera as to have < been so nearly scared to death about i it. It was neither the fault of the 1 time table as it appears in the Advertiser, nor the hands of our watch, for they were correct to a second, but i "Uncle Johnnie," the "Moseley Hotel hack," and "Old Uncle Jim Colum- I bus" got "overly" smart and played a < trick ou us by taking half an hour the ! start of the regular time for leaving. 1 It seemstbat tbey had arranged a fixed programme for the occasion and had t employed all the workmen in town to notify us that the train was crossing the river trestle, and was past due. ( Just as we were about to swim a ( stream that had been prepared for the occasion, the messenger executed the ] programme, and in less than five min- | utes we were in a modern travelling i suit, without suspenders, collars or j cuffs, shoes unlaced, and we do not remember now what else was lacking, perhaps dinner, and off for the depot ( we went at full Bpeed. There we . found "Troupe" and Capt. W. G. , Jonnson to witness our arrival tnirty , minutes ahead of time, and the train ( thirty minutes behind time. As we could not do the subject justice, we' j sent down town for some of our , friends, but they had not come up to , the time of our departure, and the matter remains unsettled. Our ride to Anderson was made in an hour's time, aud although frequent : rains had fallen along the line, yet the cars could not have had any more dust j in them if they had been running J through the Sahara Desert for a 1 for a fortnight. The dust was suffocating, ana was barely endurable. There is great complaint about the passenger accommodations on the ' road, and the authorities might afford 1 to have their care dusted, and thus add ' this much to the travellers' comfort. ] We remained in Anderson an hour < and a half and the time was spent in I discussing the coming Solicitor's race. VVe were glad to see that Col. McGowan had so many warm and strong sup- < a m purlers. nu nuuuviuo uiau taoiuui but feel proud of lier candidate for j Solicitor when he goes into his adjoin- | ing counties and hears such eulogistic i remarks as were made to us of Col. ' McGowan, and the high standard upon which he has conductsd his can- , vass. Not only in Anderson county, but in Pickens and Oconee counties we < met prominent men who were loud in j their praises of his attainments, and who spoke confidently of his election to the Solicitorship. We remained iu Seneca for several hours at the Keowee Hotel, and while there we were sur- ! prised and yet pleased to find so many ' McGowan men, and we are confident 1 if our own people will do their duty that the laurels of this race will lie worn by our distinguished young friend of Abbeville. Having had the opportunity of seeing so many voters in Anderson, Pickens and Oconee, that are interested and working for Col. McGowan, we cannot but urge our own people to act their part well i and the result will be measured in accordance with their efforts in this ] matter. Leaving Seneca at 11.40 we entered the sleeper, and-asked for a berth. The conductor a9ked us where we were from, and looking at our ticket, asked very earnestly if we were from the South, and if we had been near yellow fever? After defining our geographical position, it occurred to us that we had better inquire of him as to where the sleeper was from, and being informed from New Orleans, we were not long retreating, and selected a seat as far from other passen- j gersas possible. We were surprised i to find so many passengers from Florida, who are seeking refuge in the , mountains, and for us we hope to re- ! turn to South Carolina as soon as possible. We leave here to-day for Morganton at 11.40, will reach at 2.30, and hope to return via Ashville Monday next. J. M. B. Colonel Connor's Letter. The letter of Colonel F. A. Connor, j which we published last week furnishes food for thought, and we presume 1 I LIU I HO ULltJ 13 OU uaiucu anaj ythu tuv idea of au agricultural college, that he i is unwilling to look into the merits of i the question, or that he is so blinded by 1 by prejudice that he is so blinded by prejudice that he is unwilling to prof- < it by the experience of others. While it might not seem unreasonable for others to go wild over the imaginary benefits to be derived from an agricultural college, yet it is passing strange that any man in Abbeville county . should entertain the thought for an instant. Abbeville county is the birthplace of manual labor schools in South Carolina, and Abbeville county is the i scene of the absolute and utter failure i of every enterprise of that kind. The DeLa Howe School, and with an im- < mense endowment and seventeen bun- ; dred acres of land, languished for nearly a hundred years, and after the loss of much of its endowment, the doors of the school were closed for the rea- , son that there was a lack of chil- 1 dren to educate. In these days of free schools boys i and girls go from home to the nearest school. They have ample time to help their parents mornings and evenings, which is worth more than any nit??nr>P! that their services would command in a manual labor school. . Children can be boarded at home i cheaper than elsewhere, and their Eresenceand assistance in doing houseold work helps to lighten the burden 1 of parents whose labors seem never to i cease. j This idea that the boy at a boarding school will learn more about feeding pigs, milking cows, or hauling wood, than he would if he would if at home ' is a mistake. I As we have three years in which to agree to endow Mr. Clemson's college, there seems no pressing need for action this winter. * J Mrs. W. W. Starr, of Augusta, i Ga., passed up the Savannah Valley < last Friday, en route to Anderson, , where she goes on a visit to Gen. Humphrey's family. 1 Mr. M. B. Sturkey is preparing to improve Ills dwelling which, when finished, will be very comfortable, and * will then be occupied by Mr. E. H. I Mathews. 1 ALE INSTITJIJL , 1888.

HARRIS, Prw't, SUumton, Va. The wheel of progress continues to -.-;S roll, and new improvements are being made in our town. Messrs. D. L. \ Barnes and H. A. Tennant, have pDr? 33 chased the Prather lot, and there is not. a prettier place in our town for a cottage dwelliDg. They intend improving it, and will begin work at once on " ? a n rat-class livery stable, which is much ~ needed in our town. We bespeak for khem a liberal patronage from our peo- a pie, and they will do all In their power for their convenience and accommodation. Mr. P. E. Horton, of the Green ville News arrived in town last Thurs- :> day from Anderson, having made the ' trip on a bicycle, a distance of twenty- , -' five miles. He uses the "Columbia ' :< Record," and he keeps up Its record, ? which is in the lead. Mr. Horton is [>ff on a two weeks vacation, and bis friends here would have been glad to r have seen more of him. He left Friday for Williamston, where he will spend several days with his father's family. < The Messrs. Hadley, of McCormick, are here using their paintbrushes with ease and rapidity. They are now painting the brick store that is to be occupied by E. H. Mathews, and sev- 2 e ral other contracts have been made by them for the improvement of the store houses and dwellings in town. Such improvements add a great deal to the appearance of our little village, and nothing can serve as a better index of Its prosperity. Complaints are being made to us by our subscribers with reference to their not receiving the Advertiser. We are sure it is no fault of ours, for every v . subscriber's paper is carefully mailed svery week, and we are at a loss to know why the papers do not reach their proper destination. We will in- . vestigate the matter and do all in our power to see that our subscribers get fhoir rxtnprs. v ? r-r Judge W. N. Ransom is now pushing his wood business near Col. Jas. . , Ed ward Calhoun's, and has out several train loads. He sent off a train load Last Monday, and it was ditched near Clark's Hill. No one was seriously -x hurt by the accident, but the engineer 5 was badly bruised up. Let the people wait and see the ad' vertisement of Mr. E. R. Hor ton which 4 will appear in our next issue, before Lhey buy their stoves or tinware. The prices that he will make will simply % astonish the people, because goods well J bought are half sold, and the goods will be in in a few days. Mr. E. H. Mathews, spent a day or two in town last week the guest of Mr. P. L. Sturkey. He left Saturday for Atlanta, but will be here again in September to move into his new quar- ^ ters, that are now being prepared by T. Baker & Son. The people of Abbeville County should turn out on the 31st and give her candidate for Solicitor a full vote. The contest is a liyely one, and if Abbeville County will do her duty, she :?'i will get her reward. Capt. J. T. Barnes, of Barnes Sta- . tion, was in town a few days ago, and g spent several hours. He reports the crops looking well, and much improved by the recent rains. Mr. T. P. Cothran, of Abbeville, was in town last Thursday on business. Mr. Cothran has a great many ftienda here who are always glad to welcome him in their midst. Mr. T. N. Baker has been inspect- ~3. inghisold stamping grounds for the past week, and in the short period of seven years he found many changes. Mr. J. B. Franks is still making brick, and is also moving the kiln josc ^ burned to the new stores of T. Baker & Son that are now being built. Mr. Jas. Gilfillin, of Greenville, S. C., one of the oldest shoe men on the road, was in town last week, registered at the Moseley Hotel. Mr. C. T. Baker went to Anderson M last Friday evening to attend a lawn party given by the young men or tne Ayer's House. ; 3! Mr. E. H. Simpson, of Ira, S. C.t paid us a visit lust Friday. He is a good farmer, and makes plenty of corn, etc., at home. Mb. Gbo. F. Burdett was In town a few days ago, driving a new turnout, and seemed much pleased with his new horse. Mr. John Horton, who runs as fireman on the Savannah Valley Kailroad is off for a short time on his vacation. * . The cotton in this section is just beginning to open good, and picking will 9oon commence and be the order of the , J' . sl ay. Mrs. G. R. LeRoy, after spending some time in this vicinity visiting relatives, returned last Friday to Atlanta, Ga. Mr. S. A. Speed spent a day or two of last week at Mr. I. H. McCaila's. , j At least he said he went there ? Yellow fever is spreading in Florida, and several new cases nave been reported in the past few days. Prof. J. H. Harbin has succeeded in getting up a singing class, and It will be interesting. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. LeRoy are now in Cashiers Valley enjoying the cool mountain breezes. Mr. J. T. Young was in town last week, and spent the night at Mr. S. S. Baker's. The train was half an hour late last Friday, caused from too heavy a load. Mr. B. Bollen Allen went up to Starr on the noon train last Friday. ? Mrs. J. G. Harden is some better, and is improving very slowly. The Messrs. Hadley are now boarding at Mr. P. L. Sturkey's. Sunday, August 19, Rev. W. S. Montieth preached at the Mission Chapel in the city in place of Bro. Vanghan.the absent pastor, and announced that he would preach there agaiu at night. I heard the sermon in the morning?very good for an "offband" effort as the speaker termed it. Bro. Monteith is a willing workerready to do whatsover his hand finds to do. # ? * Randolph-Macon College, at Ashland, Va., seems to be in a most flourishing condition, and advancing rapidly. It has fifteen officers and teachers ; the largest number of students of my college in Virginia, and a large ind growing endowment. A hospital has been opened In Linjoin, Neb., by the W. C. T. U., and they find that nearly every inmate h?s been debauched by liquor.
