Work on tlio new storehouse of the Messrs. wtnte Brothers is progressing rapidly. The walls are going up as fast as it is safe to put up brick walls, and the whole work will go forward promptly to completion. Asa whole, Abbeville has as tine a Public Square as any to !>c found in the up-country, and the new storeof theMessrs. White Brothers will add beauty and symmetry to a square which already excites the admiration of all visitors from abroad. ! Mr. T. P. Quarles will buy cotton this season. He has au unlimited amount of money at his c'ommand, aud he can pay the highest prices for the staple. As soon as cottonseed shall be found to be of merchantable quality our gingers will a^ once enter the market for cotton seed, and pay liberal prices for all that may be offeredThe outlook for business for the ginners seems flattering. There is a growing disposition on the part of planters to bring their cot ton to town to have it einued, where a ready market for their seed can be had, and where there is never trouble nor delay in procuring the necessary bagging and ties. Another important factor in the business of the town is the Abbeville Bank, where money can be had to enable business men and others to effect their desired euds. ^The town of Abbeville outers the busy seaWO With the brightest of prospects for a successful and satisfactory trade in all the departments. Abbeville's Loss. Tickets announcing the marriage of DrHenry Donald Wilson, ol Abbeville, and Miss Annie C. Harrell, of Bainbridge, Georgia, are in the malls. The happy event is fixed for October 1", 18S8. The bride will come to the home of her husband in Abbeville, where they will remain for a short while only. In November the Doctor and his bride will take their leave of this place to live Ln Bainbridge, Georgia, the home of the bride, where the T~Wv*t/\r will nriAn on fnr flin ni?a/?HnA Af his profession. The town, and the church of which he is an active member, will realize a loss in Dr. Wilson's removal, He is a good citizen, an excellent dentist, and an earnest worker in the church. The entire community will join ub in regret at losing so popular and so useiul a citizen as Dr. II. I). Wilson. The Trade of A1?ltevllle. Our merchants are getting in immense \ stocks of goods and arc about ready for the largest trade that has ever been done in Abbeville. There has been a general marking down of prices, which together with attractive stocks, will have the elTcct of draw, ing trade from distant parts of the county. The people as a rule appreciate the advantages of a Rood market, and this alone assures a good trade to Abbeville. "Love is Stronger Hutu J>cnlli." This is the title of a charming love story, which was written for the Press and Banner by one of the beautiful young ladies of Abbeville. All young folks will read it with pleas' nre, and thank the author nnd us for the privilege. SJTiie opening of Messrs. r. ri. Haddon & Co's superb stock of millinery drew to our streets great numbers of our .ladies. The weather was charming, and everything contributed to the success and profit, of the "opening." The opening of milliuery by Mr. Bell?October 3rd to October Cth?is looked for with inter ' est. His millinery, like that ol his competitors', always draws a large crowd of admirers and buyers. Abbeville beats the whole upcountry on the subject of millinery. ' The Mobility of Agriculture" is the theme of an admirable essay by that excellent writr er, Mr. Ed. A. Merriman, of Walnut Grove. < Let evory farmer read it and catch inspira tion from one who is himself an enthusiast on the subject of the best occupation. Do us and your neighbor a kindness by inducing him to subscribe for the Press and E inner. ' Every citizen of Abbeville County should take at least one of the county newspapers. \ newspaper is worth much to ciiildron In giving them a tn?to tor reading. Pkok. J. F. Lkk was an honored visitor to our town last Friday. No family can afford to do without a good newspaper. <>m* l?ol!ar a Ycur. I From The News and Courier, September 19, 1SSS.] The price of the Weildy yew* and Courier, us announced yesterday, has heen reduced to one dollar a year. At this price it is by far the cheapest newspaper in the South. 11 is a newspaper which meets the requirements ol' tho fanner, the politician ami the merchant and it is always a prime favorite with tho home circlc. Crowded into its twelve pages and seventytwo columns there is all the news of the State, the United States, and of "this great globe itself," together with just such light reading as will interest the old and young, and atnuso them too. The Weekly Nvxcs <tnO Courier, while thoroughly American, is radically a Southern newspaper, aud devoted to the interests of the Southern people as a component part of the people of the United States. It is Democratic in its policy and principle, but broad and national in its aims. Postmasters throughout South Carolina aud throughout all the States are invited to become agents of the Weekly Xnvs and Courier. They will be allowed an ample commission. They should commence operations at once in enlarging the field of usefulness of the Weekly Sews una Courier, as it is not desirable to have more than one agent ia the same town. True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited, but in adversity they come without invitation. To aid ever so humbly in the overthrow of a monstrous evil is glory enough for a life time. Even learned ministers talk about the "archangels" as if they were a higher order of angels. There are no archangels. The Lord Jesus, the augel of the covenant, is the archangel. Outlandish Fashions.?"The immodest and outlandish fashions of Paris promote licentiousness. Many of them are devised expressly for that purpose.'?E. P.

The Outlook Growing Gloomier and Olooniier?The Dlsonie Among the PhvHiclnn'H Anerr Opinion. Charleston News. Jacksonville, September 22.? Eight long weeks have passed since the first case of yellow fever, that of McCormick, was developed at the Grand Union Hotel. To-night the official records show a total of 1,745 cases and 202 deaths. The daily list cases and deaths during the past ten days has been fearful in a city of the size of Jacksonville, with two-thirds of its people absent. To-day the record of new cases was again broken, footing up the figures 163. Of these 103 were colored people, who are being freely reported. It is now almost certain that many hundred colored people have had the fever and recovered without treatment or physicians. The old theory that negroes are not liable to contract yellow fever has been exploded. It nas been demonstrated that they are almost as susceptible to an attack as the whites, but that the issue is rarely fatal with them; probably never unless the fever is complicated with organic diseases. An old and eminent local physician said to-day, "Negroes never die of yellow fever unless they call in a doctor." gainesville and mcclenny. Jacksonville, September 22.?No new cases or suspects. The sick are all doing well. A special from McClenny, reports 5 new cases during the last 24 hours, and one death. The town is in great distress ; work of all kinds suspended, and additional aid will be sent from this place at once. The supplies here are short, though large orders are in transit. Short rations will have to be issued if the freights are delayed. a letter from the mayor of jacksonville. New York, September 22.?The charity committee of the Produce Exchange telegraphed to the acting mayor of Jacksonville to draw on their bank for $500 for the yellow fever sufferers. Acting mayor Gerow wrote the committee to-dav that the residents of Jacksonville had hoped to fight the battle alone, but the enemy proved roo strong, xie says : "We made known our willingness at length to be helped by the citizens of other cities, and contributions have been pouring in very generously, for this we are extremely thankful, but we do not wish it to continue too long. We have enough on hand to take care of Jacksonville alone for thirty days. We expect tbe fever to be quenched before .December. The laboring class with us, chiefly negroes, have not the frugal and thrifty habits of Northern men in the same social rank. Again other poiuts in the State need aid, and will need it. We have sent some of our supplies aud funds to McClenuy and shall continue to do so. This morning the report conies that there are several cases iu Gainesville. Here will be another field to which we shall gladly send assistance such as may be in our power. "Krom the above you will see that while we are not desirous of imposing on our fellow-creatures, or of making personal appeals to them for help, yet any further sums their own generosity may prompt to give will be thankfully . 1 1 T 1 4^ receiveu, auu, 1 uuy iu assure )uu, vcij promptly spent in accordance with the intention of the donors." Camp Perky, Fla., September 22. ?On the occasion of the departure of Burgeon General Hamilton from this camp the refugees met and passed resolutions, heartily thanking nim for his uniform kindness, courtesy and attention, endorsing Camp Perry and declaring it unexcelled by any military camp iu the country. The resolutions were presented by the Rev. Dr. Roche, at the station, where the refugees had assembled in a body, as the doctor was about to take the train, and the suigeon general was visibly moved at these expressions of appreciation of his services ami made a brief address in reply. He said in part: "lam deeply touched by your sympathy and kindness. I am all the more sensible of this, because' of the unjust criticisms directed against me in my official capacity and the attacks upon my private character. These commenced when I announced the presence of yellow fever in Florida last spring. As a matter of fact the presence of fever in this State was reported bv me to vour Governor nearly, or quire two weeks before I made any public announcement of it. That statement was true; the fact of the establishment of this camp and that we 'aru here to-day in this pine wood, tooj well attests; but that, is all past now and let it be forgotten and forgiven. When I came here and hoisted our dear old ling over this camp, I as a Government representative felt that I wanted every man, woman and child coming here*to know that they were no longer poor, panic-stricken, feverhaunted refugees, but welcome guests of our common country. The warm, ruddy stripe of the banner which floats above us are emblematical of our Christian love for its children, and each star in that azure field represents a State, every one of which must be protected when in distress, and suffered for if need be. These sentiments, T know, actuate the officers of the ser-j vice whom I leave in charge. "I thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I for your courtesy, and in saying farewell, I assure you that you have made it a difficult word to speak." the fever at feknandina?montgomery wants protection. Washington, September 22.?A i telegram was received at the Marine i Hospital bureau this morning from a committee of citizens of Live Oak, Florida, asking that an expert be sent to Fernandina to investigate the disease at that place believed to be yellow fever. Mayor Reese, of Montgomery, Ala., telegraphs that recent developments show the yellow fever to be epidemic at Decatur: another proof, he says, of' m W0i 1WW the inefficiency of the quarantine service in the different Southern towns. He asked that the Government quar antine service be put m effect at Decatur to protect Montgomery. congress to the kescue. Washington, September 22.?A special meeting of the House committeo on appropriations has been called for Monday morning to consider the Senate bill making an appropriation of $100,000 for the relief of the sufferers by the yellow fever in the South. a warning to refugees. New York, September 22.?Two refugees from a quarantine camp in Florida were arrested to-day by health officers in this city and taken to North Brothers Island. They will be kepi close prisoners by order of the board ol health. They came from an infected city, said to be Jacksonville, and had ^agreed voluntarily to undergo ten days 'quarantine before continuing on theii innrnpv "mnrfh tliov hmlrp fhoir nn. i role and came through by rail. Theit destination was known to the authorities at the quarantine camp, and President Bayles was telegraphed to intercept them. Upon their arrival to-daj they were arrested and will be quarantined on the island for the remaindei of the ten days, and longer if necessary. The health officers would not give their names,but President Bayles, speaking for the board, said : "Henceforth we shall arrest and quarantine for a proper time all persons violating their quarantine parole in the South, whenever we are informed of the presenee of such refugees in the city. Our sources of information are such as to render it difficult foi them to escape. It is our intention to sustain the health authorities in the South. Close telegraphic communication has been established for this purpose with the quarantine corps ana local health boards in the infected districts." the heroes at the tickers. New York,. September 22.?The World of to-day, referring to the tele grapuic iorce ai jacKsouviue, ruu, says: "If it were not for the work of these heroes, who, on meagre pay, are* fighting as bravely as ever a soldier foughl at the front, the country would heai nothing of the plague-stricken city, and hundreds of refugees could learc nothing of the fate of friends and rela tives left behind. The World proposes to raise a special fund for the brave workers of the wires in the pest-ridden district. This will be known as the Telegraphers' Yellow Fever fund, and any contributions thereto will be forwarded to the heroes to help their sick and bury their dead- The World heads the list with a subscription o1 $100." A City of Friend* Indeed. Philadelphia, Sept. 22.?The citizens' relief committee this afternoon telegraphed to the Jacksonville reliel committee to draw on Drexel & Co., treasurers of the yellow fever fund of this city, for $2,500. The amount thus for forwarded by the Philadelphia committeee aggregates $15,000. Montgomery and Decntnr. Montgomery, Ala., Sept- 22.?Dr. Jerome Cochran, State health officer, now at Decatur, telegraphs the Montgomery board of health that Decatur has nine cases of yellow fever: that the place i9 nearly depopulated and but little material is left for the fever to work on. The people go North and into the country ; none are coming South. Decatur *is the nearest point to this city where there is any fever, and it is two hundred miles north of here. This city keeps a most rigid quarantine and no trouble is apprehended here. Louisville's Latch Striii?H on the Ontside. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 22?At a meeting of the physicians and others called by Mayor Jacobs it was decided to open the gates of Louisville to j'ellow fever refugees. A train brought in 135 from Decatur this morning. There is no excitement here. At the meeting of the doctors it was the sentiment that Louisville was in no dan ger. When the physicians gave their views it was almost unanimously to the effect that the city should not be quarantined but that it should repeat its humane act of 1878 in welcoming refugees with open doors. President Hewitt called for the report of the committee which was read as follows: The experience of years warrant the physicians of Louisville instating confidently to her citizens, and those visiting the city, that on account of our geographical and climatic conditions Louisville can In* in no danger from the spread of yellow fever by contact with those from the infected districts of the South who may seek refuge here. The lateness of the season, and the measures of safety adopted by the State board of health, justify in assuring our citizens thai there is no danger whatever of the disease gaining a foothold in the city.'' A I'ttiiic-Sfriekon Paper. Meridian, Miss., Sept. -1? The News has suspended owing to the yellow fever panic. The proprietor*, however, expect shortly to resume publication. Will Take no ('liancc% Memphis, Sept. ?2?The strict nonj intercourse quarantine regulations adopted by the city authorities yesterI day against all passenger trains on all" railroads on the east side of the [Mississippi River are being rigidly enforced. Governor Taylor, at Nashville, was telegraphed to this mornling, asking him to call out the militia of the city and to place them under orders from the city authorities to aid in the enforcement of quarantine orders. A special train from New Orleans, containing 500 fleeing refugees from that city, Vicksburg, and other points.along the line of the Louisville, New Orleans and Memphis Railroad, will arrive at Lake View, Miss., twenty miles south of Memphis, this afternoon. A special detail of police will meet the train. Coaches have been provided by the several lines over which they may have tickets and transfer will be made there, and each coach will be locked and the passengers guarded through Memphis and sent on to their destination. None will be allowed to stop here. " y . | Superintedent Pegram, of the Mem- X phis aud Charleston Boad, is in receipt of a telegram from Decatur, Ala., which says there are now 8 cases of i a yellow fever there. The town is al- j 0 most depopulated, not over one hundred whites remaining. All the tele- ] graph operators, except the railroad e train dispatchers have left, and there is no other means of getting iuforma- S( i tion except though this source. i, Chattanooga Takes No Chances. Chattanooga, Sept. 22.?The of- ^ fering of a reward by the city council r of $25 for the detection and convic, tion of any refugee from any infected L district has had the effect of making j every man, woman and child in the city detectives, and no stranger has ? . entered the city who has not been sub\ jected to the most rigid scrutiny. 1 Extracts from Lovndesille Advertiser. 1 i a Moseley Hotel Arrivals. 0 A.
