vp- ' v" r. ' ~ ~"\v ' The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. - I Wednesday, July 10, 1889. The Acquittal of McDow. Some of oar own newspapers, and many of the Northern brethren, bave expressed condemnation of the Jury for the acquittal of McDow of the charge of murder In the killing of Capt. F. W. Dawson. However grievously McDow may have offended the peace and dignity of South Carolina, In the killing of Captain Dawson, we presume it will hardly be denied that the State of South Carolina baa furnished scores of Instances fully as! criminal, where the guilty party has not been i convicted. McDow belongs to the privileged | class In South Carolina, or if not to a pivileged class, he certainly belongs to that class of citizens who have been put to exceedingly little inconvenience for slaying a neighbor. The only thing that has brought McDow more prominently before the publlo is the fact that he slew a prominent and useful citizen. If an ordinary, or unknown citizen of the State had been slain in like manner, as was Captain Dawson, the people of South Carolina would have long slnoe forgotten the circumstance, and our Northern brethren would not have taken more notice < of McDow'a act than they did of other killings equally as outrageous. Aa far aa we can now recall to mind, the only inatanoe where a man of property or education has been convicted of crime against the person was but recent. The sentence of the Court was for a short term in the penitentiary, but his Excellency, the Governor, being moved by sundry good and sufficient reasons, pardoned him. The Governor deemed a year's Imprisonment of a rich gentleman as sufficient punishment for no greater offense than that of shootiDg an humble working man. MoDow's notoriety oomes, in our opinion* not ao much from the enormity of the crime whloh be oommltted, as from the respectability and character of the man, that lie slew. The people of the North need not be shocked ''at the acquittal of McDow. We believe the ' State of 8outh Carolina does not furnish an Instance where any rich man, or other peraon belonging to the rnling class, has been punished for murder. Negroes and com. mon people may suffer for the crime of murder, but publio sentiment, and the juries of the State, cannot allow a gentlemen to suffer tor the slight offense of killing negroes or shooting "poor white trash." If there has been an exception, to the rule, since Democratic reconstruction, we do not now remember it. * - An Appreciated Notice. We copy the following from last week's Greenwood Timet : "The Preu and Banner is nothing if it Ib not enterprising. Tbe editor and owner, our kind friend, Mr. Hugh Wilson, has mo much pluck and energy that the people of Abbe villeare not surprised at any of bis vast , undertakings. The advantages of the Colleges at Due West are always well advertised, but the prominenoe given to the Commencements at tbe above named place in this week's Preu and Banner Is unusually great and should entitle our friend to a life-long holder of free stock In tbe town and all its institutions. He elves cuts both of the Male and Female Institutions, besides fifteen columns of matter. Tbe Institutions should secure 0,000 copies of that issue for advertising purposes." While no man should expect praise for simY ply doing his duty, yet It Is grateful to, hear expressions of kindness In reference to one's efforts. While the Preu and Banner 1b of the opinion that no man should boast of having done his duty, yet we make our most grateful acknowledgements to our good Brother of the Greenwood Times. The credit of that report, however, is due to Mr. R. S. Galloway, the local representative of the Preu and Banner. We merely printed the report aa it was furnished to us. < m * m The Certainty of a New Railroad. ?? ^1. .' * The oontract for the grading, masonry, and trestle work, upon that part of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway lying between Chester, S.C., and a point about five miles West of Clinton, (being about fifty miles in length,) will be let at Chester on Saturday, July 27th. This, we think, leaves no doubt of tbe final construction to Abbeville of the Georgia. Carolina and Northern Ra!lraad. We may put oar bouse in order. It will surely come. There is still one very Important question that has not been settled. Tbe contract or ;[ agreement of the people with the company, m we understand, was to the effect that the company was to have tbe right of way. On tbe best route, through the town, by way of the Academy building, we believe but one right of way has been granted. The whole town is interested in having tbe road run where It will accommodate and benefit the greatest number of citizens. M V & Another Railroad Joke. The Chester correspondent to tbe Columbia Register under date of July 5, says: Dirt-moving on tbe Georgia Carolina and Northern Railroad will begin in a few days. R. H. Temple, of Richmond, has been appointed oblef engineer, and division engineers are being stationed aloug the Hue from this point to Greenwood. fe-.-, ? WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE GEORGIA *******m? a a vo . allliuu<via baib . ? Itetter in Beply to an Inquiry as to the Gennlnenena or an Alleged Cora m It tee Report, In Favor of Jute Versus Cotton, that wan Recently and Extensively Published. News and Courier. Gheknville, July 4.?M. L. Donaldson, business agent of the Farmers' Alliance of this oounty, wrote to the Hon. L. P. Livingatone, president of tlie Georgia Farmers' Alliance. and chairman of the national bagging committee, regarding the communication recently published lu a number of newspapers, alleged: to have been gotten up by a committee of the Farmers' Alliance, urging Alliance men to stand by Jute bagging. Mr, Livingstone writes from Cora, Ga., and the following is the Important portion of his letter: **I know nothing of the convention of thirteen Southern States composed of tbe Farm, ers' Alliance, "Wheel and Union members, neither do I kuow that they do not represent the National Alliance and Wheel. Since tbe report was subscribed by said committee, action at Birmingham was had which was unanimous In favor of cotton bagging. Tbe report is full of Inaccuracies and mistakes, and does not at all present a correct viewof either the question of finance or duty Involved. There has been no weakening in Georgia, or any other ootton State, on the cotton bagging Question, that I kuow of. That there are ei forts being made constantly to break down and demoralize our people, so as to defeat the K use of cotton bagging I am aware, but only in isolated cases nave they succeeeded, and in every instance in Georgia those violating their contract and obligation will be dealt with, be they great or small, rich or poor. It looks and reads like a put up Job in the interest of the Jute ^manufacturers. Say to your peopla that we intend to use cotton bugging exclusively and continuously, ana the committee appointed at Birmingham to arrange the difference in tare bus succeeded injdolng so with the New Orleans, New York and JLiiverpool Exdhanges. The underwriters, shippers and every one interested in handling and shipping prefer tbe cotton bagging and so does all the world else than those in some way Interested in jute or opposed to the Alliance. No trouble to get all the cotton bagging your State may want and and 110 danger of losing one cent to any farmer in the us? of it. This fight or effort to free our-! selves from an lnfustlce and outragous imposition will settle the future as to organiza-, tlon." - . ? Practical Railroad Joke.

Lowndesville, July 1st. 1880. Last week began somewhat on the dry order. In many parts of our township, rain would have been quite acceptable. It Is not often that the planters have too much rain at this season. Mrs. Chambers returned from her visit to her former home, Atlanta, on last Monday. Our town was pretty well represented at the commencement In Ersklne College last Messrs. Ed McDavid and Eugene Clinkscales weut to Due West l?st Tuesday. Dr. J. B. Mosely and Miss Lucia Mosely ruralized at Mr. R. L. Morehead's last Tuesday and Wednesday. i Mr T.nther Carlisle, of Anderson, was down here and worshipped with the Methodists last Sunday. Mr. J. G. Huckabee and Miss Gussie McKellar took in the commencement at Due West. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Smith, of Augusta, Ga., spent several days of hist week witb Mr. P. L. Sturkey, brother-in-law of the former. Mrs. Crumley having spent two weeks with her sister Mrs. E. H. Matthews, returned to her home at Douglassville, Ga., last Friday. Mrs. Jas. Harper, of Elberton, Ga., was in town for a day or two laet week. j Col. W. H. Mattox and his daughter, of Elbert County, passed through here last Friday on their return home from the Due West commencement. Mr. A. V. Barnes, was called to Anderson last Friday on business, he returned on Saturday. Mr. J. F. Harper and wife, and Mr. D. L. Barnes and wife, went to Elberton, Ga., last Wednesday. The first named couple to remain some time, tho last named returned yesterday. So far as heard from, our whole section, was visited by good rains Friday and Saturday, and the prophecies as to a very dry summer, have again had their props knocked from under tbem. As the lands were too wet to plow, Satururday was another pretty big day for our merchants. In this case what is "sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander," as the continued good seasons, while it is cheering the heart of the planter, it also increases the chances of the merchant getting his dues. The choir oi the Methodist church held its weekly meeting last Thursday night at Mr. P. L. Sturkey's, to practice. One in passing along the byways, hedges, gulleys, and branches, and seeing the very luxuriant crop of blackberries and other fruits, is lead to the opinion that a canning lactory might be made profitable here. If we were as enterprising as the people oi the North, and "king cotton" were not so much in the way, these luxuries might, and no doubt would be, utilized to our advantage and profit At this late day "in the season," there if considerable complaint of too much grass, I wonder, if it was anywhere else, tban in the corn and cotton, where it is necessary to destroy it, would it be saved, and thereby avert the necessity as some think, of buying the Northern grown hay? Sabbath school in each of our churches yesterday. Rev. W. S. Martin, occupied the pulpit in smvna nhureh. in the fore and afternoon, and preached to an attentive congregation eaeb time. Rev. R. C. Ligon, filled the pulpit in Providence church, at 11 o'clock A. M. We had a pretty heavy rain late yesterday evening, which will stop the plows for a day or two. There a-e some very fine crops of corn on the streams large and small, and the owners thereof will be uneasy till said crops are safely housed. Children's day for Shiloh, will be observed at that place, on Saturday before the second Sunday in July. Distinguished speakers will be on band to air their ideas, and thus add to the interest of the occasion. A crowd will be there. And the same important day will be observed at Bell's Chapel some time in August, the day not yet appointed. The half past six o'clock closing of the stores, gives our young men and maidens a chance for rambling for plums, blackberries etc., and if perchance they reach a stream to be crossed, and a rail or a pole only to cross it on, the young lady takes the rail or polo, und the young man wades and leads her across. Later News?Picnics and Candy Pulliiig;g?A Revived Lizard and tbc Preach. Lowndesville, S. C., July Sth, 1889. We are still having a sufficiency of rain. Therefore crops are still on a boom. In many places the grass is getting such a hold that Jt will be hard to subdue. Fruit is now quite plentiful and it is very good. I hear some people have ripe watermelons which is earlier than usual. Dr. A. J.Speer went to Anderson on business, last Tuesday. n wr .onH A lo* fJihprt. nf 1UCBOIO. U? *? . wyvv* w?v? ^ -? ?Monterey, were on our streets last Wednesday. Our merchants closed their stores on the 4tb. Tbe planters had too much grass to close their place of business. They were obliged to postpone the proper obaervanceof the 4th July, till a more convenient season. Lowndesville and Harpers united in a picnic at Harper's Ferry last Thursday, quite a crowd was in attendance, and everythihg passed off quite pleasantly. Several Important changes in the depot management, along tbe Savannah Valley railroad last week. Mr. Collier who has had charge of the depot at Mt Carmel for sometime was put in charge of the depot here. Capt. W. G. Johnson who has so long and faithfully managed the depot here was transferred to the one at Anderson. Messrs. Shaw and Martin pherotypists have their canvass stretched near the depot where they are prepared to satisly all applicants in tbeir line. Miss Fannie Horton is now visiting relatives In Greenville. Mr. John Horton again occupies his old position of fireman on the Savannah Valley railroad. Miss Ida Chambers gave her young friends a candy pulling last Friday night. Miss Lilly Sifely, of Orangeburg, paid a short visit to the family of Mr. J. M. Latimer last week. Miss Mamie Baskin, al Monterey, is now visiting her sister Mrs. W. G. Johnson. The accomplished Miss Allie Protho, of Atlanta, Ga., who has spent several weeks with Miss Ida Chamber*, and who has made so many warm friends here, who hope for her soon return,started for home last Saturday. Mrs. W F.Seawrlghtdlscontinued her school a few days ago, for the summer vacation. Misses Jennie and Mattie Harper were visiting Miss Willie LeKoy the latter part of last week. The Smyrna Congregation decided on yesterday to dispense with the services of the Rev. W. S. Martin for a month, that he may take needed recreation at some springs. TIs said by the knowing ones, tnat the bridge at Young's mill, is in an unsafe condition. and ought either to be rebuilt or repaired at once, as it is a very important one. A young married man hereabout says that he has the; best corn crop and the prettiest baby,in the county. It will be remembered that the 1st day of June, Jwas quite cold?frost In many places. On that day a certain preacher, went to visit one of the families in his charge. The good woman of the house went out, and brought in some trash and started a fire. The warmth thus created revived ajnearly frozen lizzard which happened to be in the trash brought in, and his lizzardship took position upon the preacher's shoe, perhaps for observation. One of the eood ladles present, discovered it, and went tor it with the broom, and instead of the lick aimed at it, dislodging it, It started the reptile on an exploring tour upward, which caused some vigorous kicking upon the part of the Divine, buttbe"varmint" did not come back, worth a cent, but gradually and surely moved onward and upward. The ladies present, by request, retired immediately, if not sooner, aud tbe men present, at once, with laudable energy began,;the search for the unwelcome visitor, which was found near the waist-baud of the pants, of the somewhat demoralized brother. No doubt the llzzard thought, that it had again entered winter quarters for another long sleep. TROUPE. W hat an Old Farmer Nays. This is the advice ol an old farmer who tilled the soil for lorty years: I am au old man upwards of three score years, during two score of which I have been a tiller of tbe soil. I cannot say that I am now, but I have been rich and have all that I need, do not owe a dollar, have given my children a good education, and when I am called away will leave enough to keep the wolf from the door. My experience taught me that; One acre of land well prepared and well cultivated produced more than two which received only the same amount used on one. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or bog well fed is more profitable than two kept on tbe same amount necessary to keep one well. One acre of clover or grass is worth two of cotton where no clover or grass is raised. No iarmer who buys oats, corn or wheat, fodder and bay, as a rule, for ten years, can keep tbe sheriff away from his door in the end. The farmer who uove reads the papers, sneers at book farming and Improvements always has a leaky roof, poor stojsk, broken down fence, and complains of bad season. Tbe farmer who is above his business and entrusts it to another to manage, boou has no business to attend to. Full and Entertaining Accounts. Associate Reformed Presbyterian.

It seems that Wall Street is taking notice of the advantageous prospects of the G. C. & N. R. R. The 50,000,000 bonds were soon sold and the demand was great for them. This amount is quite sufficient to complete the road, and railroad men think the road will soon be pushed through. The Sunday News seems extravagant enough to think it will be extended alon^ the Gulf States and to New Orleans. Be this as it may the prospects for the present charter are encouraging enough for Doubting Thomas and railroad Jokers to dispel all doubts on the question. Defer come.

Editor Bonner returned Irom Due West Monday. * Two of our young men went to Ninety-Six on Sunday last, and report rain at that place. Mr. J. C. Nickles is of! on a prospecting tour. Mr. Percy Hartzog is clerking for him in his absence. One of the brick made by the new mill of Messrs. Wells and Mays was on exhibition at Messrs. J. K. Durst & Co., rnonday. It is a good specimen of the brick work and seems to be thoroughly compact, well shaped and of good quality. Spring chickens and eggs are coming in now. The demand Is not so large as was earlier in the spring. Protracted meeting is now being carried on at Rock School house conducted by Rev. Geo. Davis. On Thursday last your correspondent took passage for the fair city of Colleges to attend the Commencement, in company with an old commencement veteran who has passed through the trying vicissitudes of many, and we felt our unsophisticated self in experienced hands to take us through with care. Upon our arrival at the beautiful little city of Due West we found the streets and sidewalks flocked and crowded by the vast concourse of sightseers, buggies, horse men, wagons and carts. Indeed the scene looked like an occasion of much attraction common to the closing of two of the most prominent Colleges in the State. Wo made neadquarters at Kennedy's Hotel and found comfortable quarters and good fare. After resting awhile and chaperoned by the aforesaid commencement veteran we started out In quest of old friends and new acquaintances, most especially the latter. We soon found our selves among a bevy of as fair young ladles as ever made bright the smiles of man. After spending several hours with them we started for the center of attraction "Lindsay Hail." As we pass through the College campus our admiring eyes lit upon the grand stately Dunaing or veneraoie urn ursinne. Its grand old walls stand out' lo bold relief against the cloud bedecked sky. Its aged appearance giving evidence of its reign of learning. But we will pass our eyes on the less pretentious but more beautiful buildings, the Philomathean and Euphemlan Hails, being of modern architecture and of very pretty and attractive appearance. Indeed, no palus have been spared to make beautiful these buildings, and their appearance at once suggests that the happy founders made a success. There too, to complete this classic group, loomed up Lindsay Hall with its stone staircases and iron railing. Though many summers scorching suns and winters chilling blasts have shone and driven over this structure is still stands unhurt. "As she ever stands in the strength of her beauty sublime As she ever stood noblest and best ?f her time"? Giving evidence and typical of its purpose both in architecture and use. And as these grand structures and classic walls stand in sucli glowing contrast our mind wanderad to the descriptions we have read of learned Greece, the abode and home of the flower of learning. "On the records of time she will grandly endure. As unchangably bright as her honor is pure." But we are infringing on R. S. G. this comes in his province, we repaired to Lindsay Hall in company still with the aforesaid veteran and found the hall and galleries literally packed. In a short while the graduating class filed in upon the rostrum and were seated. It was then that our visionary orbs revelled In the wealth of beauty which adorned the stage. A lovelier set of young ladles never greeted our delighted gaze before. After spending the day listening to essays and entrancing music and eloquent addresses the night closed in bidding the hurrying throng repair to their homes. The soiree being next in order. Your humble Bcribe betook himself to the Female College alone, the aforesaid veteran having deserted us, and gone to dance attendance uponsomeof the fair daughters, no longer able to withstand the temptation to leave a prosy newspaper correspondent and go with a fairer companion. At the.hour we strode forth alone in the ? _ A.: a iU- * 1 nam luwuru wits luwonmk uuuuiug ui iuo Female College there to behold the beauty and lovellnes of the land in merry making and high euioyment. We could All columns In praise of the grandeur of tbo buildings, the high grade ;of society and last but not least the extreme hospitality of the kind inhabits ants of the fair little city. We can safely 6ay that never in all the events of our life passed one so pleasantly and enjoyable as the commencement of Due West The fair flower of gradltude would wither and die were we not to keep in constant remembrance tho kind treatment we received at the hands of the people of Due West. On Friday morning we left this fair domain where dwells the classics, this realm of beauty, this home of kindness and hospitality and to "R. S. G." accept our thanks for your kind attention while in your place. Should you come to us I will surely remember you. And we humbly hope that some day in that Jate shall dispose ol will unite ties thatjcannot be sundered by the ills of life and that will remain steadfast as did the faith of the patriarch Abraham in the God of his people. The postoillce has changed quarters. It is now located in the rear of Mr. W. 0. Stratfhorns. PEMBROKE. GREENWOOD GREETINGS. Additional Items ol' IntereNt from the Atlanta of Abbeville County. Greenwood, 8. C., July 8, 1889. Vegetables are plentiful. Crops are growing finely. Ho! for the new Railroad and cotton mill. Mrs. Harkness the wife of civil engineer Harkness is boarding at Riley's Hotel. The attendance at the Methodist and Presbyterian churches on Sunday last were large and full. Rev. C. B. Smith, of Spartanburg, a brother of A. Coke Smith, preached at the i former and Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson at the latter. 1 The protracted series of meetings being held at the Presbyterian Church are still going on at the time of this meeting. Rev. Mr. Smith i preached to the Dadtes Missionary Society of i the Methodist church ou Sunday. Union serf vice was conducted last nightin the Presbyterian church by Rev. Mr. Wilson. The house I was crowded and Mr. Wilson, fully appreciate i Ing the occasion and situation doiivered one i of hls most eloquent sermons, which was lis- i tened to with marked attention by the large 1 audit-nee. Dr. Wilson impressed tho serious-11 nessof a sinful death in a very impressive1i manner, which was no doubt impressed upon < his congregation by the demonstrations at- 1 tending his closing remarks. Dr. Wilson is a magnetic and powerful speaker, and we think 1 his whole congregation was highly pleased with his fine effort. We hope he will remain for several days yet. c Dr. M. A. Bailey hnR the prize dog for intelligence. It is an Italian greyhound and Is a very sensible animal. If given a nlckle he will take it immediately to the butcher shop ] to buy beef, and If a copper is given him be will drop it at once. The Maxwell Baseball club are entered to contest at the Clinton Tournament. The Club has been considerably strengthened by the addition of Mr. W. J. McDavld, formerly of of Greenville, who is a first class baseball < player and is quite an acquisition to the club. He plays centre field. The boys are in good J spirits tor the coming contest and Greenwood j hopes and expects them to sustain their form- \ er record. Mr. A. G. Youngblood haR pnrchnsed the lot joining Mrs. Dr. Boozer and W. V. Blyth and . fronting Presbyterian church and expects to erect a neat residence thereon this summer. A car of watermelons passed through the city last week, but not until some of them were left here. 2 car loads are destined for here to-day. Messrs. Mays a Wells have got their brick works up and are doing Rome good work. They are making about 25,000 a day. At this rate It will take them only about a month to All their contract for the factory. They have temporarily located their mill at the factory site. The clay there is especially good for brick, and some of our beBt Judges of mortar say that the brick If properly burnt will be exceptionally good. We do notsee why a first clasB brick plant will not pay here. This Is a central point and the railroad facilities are sufficiently ample to furnish speedy delivery and close rates. The most of the brick whlon are being used by the towns of upper South Carolina are generally shipped from Augusta or other distant places, and we do notsee why Greenwood cannot fill the bill. We think Messrs. Wells & Mays have made a move in the right direction and we have enough confidence in them to assume that they will push the business and make it a paying and growing industry. What Is the matter with Greenwood we cannot get up a military company ? We cannot see any obstacle in the way if our young men and some of the old veterans too,, to encourage the boys, will but meetand organize. We do not profess any pretentious knowledge in State craft, but it seems to us that a place the size of Greenwood stands really in need of a , military company for its own individual pro- | tectlon. Usually a military company is re- , garded as principally an organ lzatlon of pleas- ] ure, something like a baseball or social club. f Not so, it Is principally that feature or adjunct t of a State or country which Is the lever that ( propels and forces the governmental laws of ( our country, a peace maker, an organization , which stands as the State's protector. It is j also a source of much pleasure to those who \ belong to It and a pride to thoBe who do not. t Under whose flag a town asserts Its rights and ( whose citizens are assured of safety. In the face of these facts let our people come togeth- f erand organize a company and assure our , citizens and the adjacent vicinity of some | means of sarety and let Greenwood have j something 1o be proud of besides her,commerclal reputation. I Hon. W.C. Benet, of Abbeville, was In the ? city last week. I Mr. J. K.

Durst &co., have had an awning built over the front of their mammoth establishments. The Timet says for the benefit of the loafing club. A new street has been put in shape leading to the factory. We think this will be a popular street some day, and we think oor worthy and efficient council would do well to open up some more. Mr. Robert TArrant and his sister Miss Louise, of Newberry, have been visiting friends in the place. They returned Saturday last. Mr. W. E. Beard left for North Carolina, on a visit last Wednesday.

Happy Editor ? Excursions ? The Kaiiis anil tlie Crops*--Water and Htove Wood?Tlic "Tired Man" and the Grafts. McCormick, June 24, 1889. We had a large excursion from Augusta, (5a., to this place, colored people. They belong to St. Phillips Society. The Society Is about 400 members strong, and about as many invited, such as uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., to swell the excursion. It Is a benevolent Society. the members pay 25 cents per month, arid when one Is sick, they draw $1.50 per week, (I would be sick all the time,) and when a member dies, the Society furnishes the money for nil necessary expenses. They conducted themselves very nicely, and had everything with them, to have a nice time and enjoy themselves, to their credit nothing lntoxlcatlug. Eatables of every kind, soda water, and Ice cream. The music was very good, furnished by the Augusta Juniors. Harmony and peace prevailed throughout the day. We hear thismomlng that Mrs. John Martin, living in the suburbs of McCormick, 9ve miles out, accidently fell from the doorway and broke her arm. Mr. Sam Allen has the the contract of the brick work of the cottage, now ^eing constructed by S. B. Smith, (made mention of in aur last dots.) Sam knows what to do with brick, and his work looks more like It was ione by machinery than by hand. When Sam puts that draw to the chimney funnel, hide out little ones. Mr A (1 Prfil.w(i|l hna roliirnnrl frnm Ilia t,rlp to Atlanta, Ga. We are glad to see him back, and see him looking so well. (He always does that.) When we met him, he as usual, had his shoulder to one of the great jommerclal wheels of the extensive business, now done In McCormlck by Messrs. McCulley & Fretwel). Cotton continues to come Into our market laiiy, Just think of it, tbe last of Jane and :otton in the hands of tbe farmers. I had as soon have a 500 pound bale of cotton in my pants pocket, exclusive of bulk, as Ave ten lollar gold pices. (Four bales on a wagon.) Mr. Editor, when I go to tell you about a person that has left McCormick, they return jefore I can get it to press, and the same way lbout persons visiting McCormick, they are iere and gone before I can tell you of It. It leems to be such a fast town, that it wonld ,ake a trl-dally paper to keep any ways in sight. This coming and going of people botbsrs me wonderfully, unless I could know it a rveek before hand. This reminds me of the [rishman, writing from the old country to his jrotber in America, that he would have writ,en last week about their grand mother's leath, but tbe old latly didn't die. Miss Emma Corley has gone to Anderson to ipend sometime with friends. Miss Emma is very much pleased with An Jerson. I could" >et my last dollar that there is more In this ,han towns. (There is millions in it.) Dear reader, I want to tell you what I saw he other day. A great big over grown man Handing in the middle of the garden, with ioth hands rammed down in bispants pockets ind his aged mother hoing the grass out "rom among the cabbage. 1 have, been told ,hls man was born lazy, and when'he was be,ween the age of 30jand 35, he bad ? relapse, rbis man should have a wife like mine and a nother-ln-la w to back her up in anything she ffouldsayto him. Just let her say, one or ;wlce, to him "get," you can bet he would spin round like a ten year old boy's top. Mr. J. A. Harmon, our editor of the AlcCor nick News, has purchased a beautiful little jottageon the hill side of Mr. Sam Allen. 3ur editor has Just married, and expects to >tart business right. I would say to you, Jim .here is a heap of fun In a married life, such fun as cutting stove wook, (you have got, the stove, I saw you when you made the purjbase,) and wood to iron with, milking the iow, bringing two buckets of water at the same time (for you never saw a smart man go with one bucket) especially wben you have io go two or three hundred yards to get it, ind then while you are resting yourself, write \ long and interesting editorial for your paper. (Millions of fUn In it.) I think sometimes, and it is all done in thinking for I am a man of but few words, Lhat my wife can use more water, burn more wood to cook and iron with than any two :ooks in McCormick. Yes, I will write it lown.asldo not intend for her to bear it, iny two cooks in this round world, and then save more little tbiDgs done about tbe bouse, DUt wnen I hear that little word "get" I know ihe meaning of it. 1 could at one time fool ler. by eivlngan old shirt to an Idle negro, /ou can always And one idle to cut me some wood, but now my wardrobe has got so low I enow sbe will miss the Gblrt. She can count is many as a crow, (3). Dr. M. B. Johnson has been In McCormlck ,wice this week, and departed both times. He has some lots In Troy, he wishes to sell, md he may intend Investing the money in eal estate In McCormlck. We had last night ft lecture from the Rev. Vlr. Elwell, on Temperance. The temperince people all say It was good, yes splendid indl cannot see how any one could think, iee or say otherwise, as It is the great moving sower ol morality. "Be ye temperate In all ihings." We have had more rain this week than any ffeek this season?grass, grass, grass. Mr. Sam Allen finished the last chimney to ;he S. B. Smith cottage. Saturday in the rain 10 bad a man holding an umbrella over the York. Sam is a wonderful mau, he can spell ior?e and bouse without the H. J. P. Smith left Thursday for New York. T. J. Donahue left Friday for sometime in lugusta. We must do without beef until he eturns, but hush dear, wont we make the eathers fly while he is eronc. The Rev. Mr. Elwell was called to McCornlck to preach the funeral of Mrs. Mary Smith 5th Sabbath in June, 1889. We all, in md out of the church call him Bro. Elwell. rhe house was full, seats and standing room ill occupied. The well selected hymn, we thought almost covered all, though after folowing that eloquent Divine, through his grayer, the well selected words which he us:d, the tone of his voice, we could not see what more could be said, but when he taken ills text and commenced in that eloquent way >f expressing himself, and laying plainly the teachings ol the Bible before us. We soon found that half had not been told, not a dry sye could be seen in church. Go with Bro. Elwell to Republican church, where he had served the good people for four long years as pastor, and see him meet and shake bands with them good old Republican members, you would feel like you were at one of tbem jooti oici lime revivals wuiuu tiwuucuo ujcu w Lhelr spiritual concerns. We are sorry to hear that Mrs. J. S. McLane Is so very much worse. We are having rain up to the time of writlug and mailing these dots. TOM. McCORMICK FERMENTATIONS. Hie "Joint Club" ExcnrMlon?Shining: a Mule's Eye?The Glorious Fourth? Railroad Jokes. Monday, July 1st, 1889. We have had the biggest crowd in Mccormick to-day of the season. The "Joint Club Society" (cold.) from Augusta,- Ga., has been here on a grand excursion. They were Drganlzed August 30,1880, about 300 members now; organized as a benevolent society; lnltlitlon fee $1.50, monthly dues 40c. When sick illowed 82 per week ana two nurses, Any person belonging to the order, In good Standing, Is allowed ?30 for burial expenses and $60 Lo the family or widow, if any. This lsaG. T. How many such orders is fiere among the whites? They had Walton's string band. \1I behaved well; some little bad behavior by jome white men, who was seen after by the Town Council and the citizens of McCormick. Btackberries are so plentiful they are pressing the Ja:ice out for wine. I think the boys bad got some before it fermented, as they tried to sour ori the town. One man lost his mule, bridle an i saddle, but I hear the Council is taking care of It for him. Mr. A. 13. Kennedy, who Is well known in \bbeville. was very badly hurt to-day by his horse, a tine young stock horse, unbrldlewise. Mr. Kennedy was carried to Dr. J. P. Robinson's residence, where he now remains under treatment of Dr. J. P. Robinson. Tuesday, July '2,1880. Mrs. J.S. McLano died last night. We have spoken several times of aer illness heretofore. Funeral will take place Wednesday at 10 o'clock, at Baptist Church. All qukit to-day. We think fermentation nas taken place. The boys do not show much <lgus of foaming at the mouth, but have been nvinir nround In the bushes on the outskirts | >f the town. We suppose trying to shine the 'mule's eyes." I heard some one say they met the gang late In the evening on their way some, and they looked like the old man that iveutout hunting by firelight, and in turning tnd winding about In the woods lost his way, ind while in this condition rambled up nuur where ho had his old mule tiod to a tree; ihlned his two eyes, thouset sure It was a leer, leveled his old fllutand steel on him indict slide, and down camo the mule, aud ,he only mule the poor man had. You can tec how blank this man must havo looked. Vow this poor unfortunate boy, as they say, v?s lead into this bad conduct nn Monday by )thers has only the one mule, "Poor Tray.' Wo had to-day a Sabbath School excursion rom Augusta, Oa. It Is their :M)th anniverlary, known as the Spring Field Sabbath school (cold.,) been running for 30 years. The :rowd was small?only about two hundred. Phey did not molest any one; picked black>erries and had their rambles around the old nines, and no one tried to run over them ilther, while some of the bad boys had baymets and pistols they either had too much espect ft.r the Sabbath School children or he bravery (wine) had died out. The friends of Ihe man that lost his mule oq rlonday came before the Town Council to^ lay, but they were all lawyers aud judges? 10 witucsses and the cuho could not bo ried. Wednesday, July 3. All quiet to-day; some 1 Ittle skirmishing through the town, but you an not sec a Lush shako. < Thursday, July 4. The trains are crowded .

It dods seem that the people have turned their backs against the 4th day of July, and even shut the doors against It, for all ihe store doors are shut as though It were the Kabbaili. i We have reported "rain" so much we will makea short story of a long one and say It rains all the time?day and night, and some times more and sometimes less. The money ' I put up for a rainy day is out. Crops are looking well, those that are clear of the grass. VVe passed near Mr. Geo. W. Andrews'cotton field the other day and If everything in It Is cotton it must be fine. (Some doubts.) Friday, July 6. Nobody hung here to-day. ; All quiet, except the Cumberland Gap railroad. We Just can't keep the people quiet on that: we have good news from the President on tnat point, and we are to have another big meeting of the citizens on Monday next. The merchants say to the drummers, hold on; I do not care to give ray orders yet, let us see if the C. G. taps McCormick. Persons anticipating building in McCormick say to the contractors, hold on let us see If the C. G. taps McCormick. I may change my notion from a one-story building to a 2,3,4 or 5 stories. Saturday, July 6. To-day is our first fair day, as far back as I remember, (that Is I could not tell you when we had the last fair day.) The farmers seem to be well pleased with their crops, especially the corn, and they talk cotton bagging all the time: "If we buy any corn next year, we want It In cotton sacks." (Must have it that way.) Saturday, July 7. Mr, A. B. Kennedy has recovered so as to go up home this morning. Wo mailt, nnnn tha hand car of Cant. Harbuck. who went up wllh him. Preaching in the Methodist Church this morning by the pastor, a very interesting discourse and a large congregation, as It has been a lovely day. Preaching in the Baptist Church this afternoon by the Rev. H. C. Smart. Judge Smith was called on' last night, alter he had retired, to perform the nuptial ties of Mr. Andrew Henderson and Miss Annie Sturkey. both of McCormlck. The Judge responded promptly, but seemed to be a little slow about it. I can tell the trouble, the Judge was thinking over the Lord's prayer, for when he oflered up prayer you could tell that there was dust on his Bible lids?he got so tangled up in it he cut short and Bald amen, and after clearing his throat a few times, finished his ceremony in a very solemn and ceremonial manner. Monday. July 8. Peace and plenty seems to prevail in McCormlck this rooming. Y?n can get everything In this market cheap. Country butter from 5c. to 15c. per pound, eggs 8c to 10c, chickens from 5c to 20c, green corn 10c per dozen, tomatoee and blackberries forthe picking of them, no charse, provided I you do not charge a wasp nest, then take my advise, (all back in good order, and make a Stonewall Jackson move?flank them.
