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.

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

business. He has bought improved machinery,
and reduced the price of work so much,
that every man can have a new set of harness.

church are making preparations to complete

Whatever the people do will be right, and
the defeated candidates will take their disappointment
with good grace.

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

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

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.
