S&- . ; The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S. C. ??J~Pul>lished every Wednesday at Si a year in advance. y Wednesday, July 9, 1890. I>enth of Mr*. Branch. Mrs. Annie Branch, the beloved wife of Mr. W. T. Bmn.:h, died at home In this village last Saturday evening, July 5, ISfM, at half past elL'ht o'clock. Mrs. Branch had been an invalid for several years, from an al^ectlou of the heart, but she was ill only a few days, and before many ol our cltl/.ens knew of her illness, she had breathed her last. Mrs. Branch was a christian woman, and adorned the faith which she professed. Her cpntin imiiirp. and her loveable character en Seared her to all who knew her. Each and all of us feel that in her death we have experienced something of a personal loss. She was in the meridian of life, and died in the possession of all her faculties. Realising that the en?. was near, on Sunday, she talked freely of the approaching dissolution, and gave expression of her wishes in various matters concerning herself and others. She would have been glad to have lived longer with those whom she loved so denrly, yet she gave ever}* evidence of resignation to the will of the Almighty, while putting all her trust in the saving grace of Ilini who died that we might live. Mrs. Branch leaves a husband to mourn his Irreparable loss. In her death he has lost a crown, and in her departure a sorrowful heart will ever inouru for the memory of her who was his comfort, and solace In life. She sleeps at Upper Long Cane. Doatti of lilies Brooks. Miles Carrlngton Brooks, son of Mr. \V. H. Brooks of this village, was born November 10. 1X69, and died last Sunday morning, July 6, 18K), of typhoid fever. The deceased was ereatly respected by all who knew him. His gentle manners and his high character were admired. His fidelity and integrity commended him to the good graces of his employers. He was once salesman for Mr. W. A. Temploton. and later, was clerk in the millinery store of Messrs. R. M. Had lon <t Co* Because of his delicate constitution he determined to go to outdoor employment. ^ With a view to the Improvement of his g health, he rented land, and begau to work the I crops himself. It is supposed that the exposkt ure to the sun, and the physical effort which was necessary, was too great for his feeble > onnstitution. and consequently was attacked by the disease which carried him off. His aged father and mother will feel very sorely, this sad aitliiction In the loss ol their only son, who had always beeu to them a dutiful son. Cantata in tlie Court IfoiiMe.

Besides those that took part in the drill that were present Miss Hop< Linton was also an Interested observed of the . pleasing event. The marching and evolutions of the young ladles were very creditable, and showed thai Capt Miller who had charge ot the preparation for the event was equally as efficient in drilling the young iudles as be Is the cadets o: college.

( What an ol?l Soldier Saw, and What He has Written. About the Hloody History of Richmond. In my last letter I gave you some observa? Hons around Petersburg, Va. General Hemp' hill patted company with us when we returned to Richmond, and ran up to Washington, 1>. C., to take in the National Capital, aod the lights aroutul the nation. The next day, iu company with oth?r Confederates, we boarded the dummy car, and ran down lo the battle field of Seven Pines. A narrow guage road has been buill since the war from Richmond to the battle-field, which is seven miles from the city. This line follows the utne tulle road all the way from Richmond to Seven Pines. The battle ground is aboat one mile southwest of Savage .Station on the York River Railroad, on the south side of Chickahomlny, and about one mile below and to the right of Kair Oaks station. The battle field is called Pair Oaks by Northern historians. The hardest fighting was near the intersection of the nine mile road with the Williamsburg road. The Sixth South C r lira Regiment, the Hampton Logicnand the Palmetto Sharp Shooters fought on the left or the Williamsburg road, aod across the nine mile road. On Sunday morning, June 1st, 18iJ2, the Smith Carolina troops charged the Bucktalls, ami drove them from their first position; they made a stund 011 the ground now used as a national cemetery. 011 this plat of ground they left fifty of their men killed, and fell back across the Williamsburg road about two hundred yards, and made another stand. Our troops routed them from this posit ion. Eighty more of the Federals were killed at this point. From thisplacethey were driven hack on the maiti line, massed in rear and near the Chick ahominy. The battle-Held whore D. H. Hill made the attack on Saturday, May 31,1862, was also visited. This part or the battle-ground is four or five hundred yards below where the .South Carolina troops fouuht 011 June 1st,and 011 the right of the Williamsburg road. The country is low and Hat all around, so far as we could Judge. From what we could nee oi the old battle-ground It was not favorable to the party making the advance as our men did. The Federals were strongly entrenched behind heavy earth works, with a twenty-four gun battery to sweep the field in IIfl'erent directions. There were three dinerem lines of earthworks held by the enemy. I'he Confederates charged these Hues and captured the works forcing the enemy back on their reserve n?ar the Chickahominy. Reinforcements were hurried across the stream to their relief, which enabled them to hold their last position. Couch's troops was the division that opposed D. H. Hill; reinforced by Casey's dlvisien. giving the Federals the strongest force. The field on which the battle was fought was cultivated after the war or at least part of it. It is now grown up in pines. Tnere are scores of groves to be seen there yet?a mound of earth shows some poor fellow's ast resting-place. The man who owns the fnramMpn^ took ii n nvnr thrpp him. dred bonfederate soldier's bodies lust after i.he war and burled tliem all in one grave. Near the same spot two hundred and forty bodies are buried In one grave; these last were Georgia troops killed In the charge May 31st. Near the battery spoken of, In a plat of ground between the lines, a large number of Federals are buried, The land was cultivated after the war and the graves leveled down. Going over the field we could tell where a hoily was burled by the large briers. The . rass Is growing all over the laud several inches high, where not too much shaded, our guide told us that the grass was burned id' a few years ago, which exposed thousands >f bones to view, now hid by ihe grass. The Federal cemetery is on part of the batilefleld in the fork of the Williamsburg and and Nine Mile road. There Is, J suppose, about two acres, enclosed by a brick wall, four or Ave feet high. In this enclosure, a neat house Is built lor the keeper of the cemetery to live in. A register Is kept of all visitors. The keeper Is an old Federal soldier from Ohio. His business is to keep the cemetery in repair, and show visitors around. We found him very sociable and pleasant In Ills manners. There arc busied In this cemetery thirteen hundred and flity-seven Federal soldiers. Only one hundred and fifty of this number ire known. All that could be identified bave i neal headstone, with the name, rank, regiment and company Inscribed. The balance were tanen up oq me oaiue-neiu ana ouriea in the cemetery. No doubL there are quite a number of Confederate soldiers burled there. Our guide told us that numbers were burled in the cemetery that could not be identified by any clothing they were burled in : the uniform buttons was alt they could Lave to 50 by lu some cases. In the center of the ground, some old cannons are planted in the earth and painted black. Cannon balls, shells, ijrape-shot, and so forth, piled around. There has been several new houses built 1 >incc the war on the battle-ground. The old Hllliard House is still standing near the cemetery. Some residences have been built to the right Two eating houses have also been put up. Mr. Lyon keeps a small museum ol war relics in his eating-house. Such as old guns, sabres, fragments of shell, minnie balls, . bayonets, canteens. ?tc. As a party of us were walking down the Nine Mile road, a iniuuie ball was discovered 1 in the middle of the road, Just become exposed to view. I secured it and brought it home as a memento of the battle field. Just above the cemetery on the side of the road, a lone grave is to be seen. This is on the ground that Hampton's Lpglon charged over on June 1st. The grave is supposed to be one of that com mand. The earth works between Seven Fines and Itichmond can still be seen at several points, ' hut the most of them have been levelled ' down, and the fields are in cultivation. Some nice farms are to be seen ulong the riiilrom)mid houses havu hoen omntod the last few years. The country is Hat and , level, with swamps scattered along the route. , This trip to Seven Pines finished upoursight| seeing. We hurried back to Richmond In . time to meet the train going South. I At 3 o'clock. P. M., we left Richmond for home, regretting that our stay could not be prolonged a lew days longer. I think the ' party all enjoyed the trip to the full extent, > and all will remember the trip pleasantly. We were gratitied to meet mauy of our old | lenders ami veterans; such an opportunity ' will fcot present itself again. There is a kindred feeling among most of the old soldiers ! that our younger people do not understand. ; I see from some of the newspaper reports , that some of our candidates on the State can. vas, think it time the old Confederates were taking back seats and getting out of the way I of progress. Well, I suppose they will not . objefct to our having reunions, and celebra. tious, if we will only keep out of the way oi the wheels of progress and reform. We are not all candidates for office by any means, and dislike tQ hear such language from the > younger generations corning on. 1 Everything being equal, a Confederate sol uler should have the same chance In politics 1 as any one else. We hope never to see the day In our Southland when a Confederate . soldier will be debarred from equal rights ! with any one else. Efficiency is what we want, let it be old or young. ItEJi. Bounty to Emancipated Slaves. t N. Y. Herald. The proposal to vote a bounty of five hundred dollars to every emancipated negro, which. If some of the Republican Congressman has its way, will be part of our financial ' system, has many arguments In Its favor, If we are to vote a service pension to every volunteer in the late war, even if for ninety days, why not recognize the sufferings of the four millions of negroes who spent their lives In slavery? A lifetime of servitude deserves some consideration. If the bill Is passed the addition to the National debt will only be twe thousand millions of dollars. The money given to the emancipated negroes would Increase the trade In raisins, razors and -illuml nated wearing apparel. It would put mouey t into circulation. The pension agent business would have in immense stimulus. After the emancipated negro bounty bill I became a law there would be room for a scr. vice bill, bo much a dn.y to every negro for f the period of his slavery. ) We know of no more fascinating proposal fur the relief of a congested treasury. We ? uweyt*u? uuhcvci, kji uwiug UlU bunjeCL JUS, tlce. The eloquence of senator Ingulls is - aloue equal to the task. ; Warrkstox, S. C., July 7,1X90.

Splendid Program .Splendidly Carried Out by the Sunday School Children. The editor of the Press and Runner hud the pleasure of attending the exorcises at Walnut Grove Ipst Saturday. This being our first trip to that excelent community everything there was new to us. The settlement Is an old one, and many excellent people live in that section. Walnut Grove Baptist church was organized in 1S2C., by Rev. Jame Wilson and Rev. Arthur Williams, and the church was built on the bank or Mulberry creek. William Hodges, John Rasor. Marshall Sharp, Richard Gaines, Mason Henderson, Valentine Young. Samuel Agnew were officers in the early history of the church. Many descendents of all the early settles are to.day members of Uiut church. In 18.50, a great freshet in the creek took place while services were being held. Bug ;lcs, carriages and horses were washed away, while the water 01 the creek rau under the church. The present building is one and a-half miles North of the old site, and Is a neat and comfortable structure, that speaks volumes for the good people who built It, and worship there. At present the membership is eighty. Since its organization twelve hundred members have been baptized Into this church, while only about fifty burials have taken place in the grave yard. I The people in that section are among the I I 1 . I, ..IC... ?l I nf A IJ.nvllln Ul'Mi HilU imjiM/ i-minj viu(.vno v? awi'viiiiv county, ami they luive always been liberal Satrons of the church and the school. Rev. like Magee is their pastor, and Miss Lucy Pinson is the teacher of their children. The pr< fluency of the Sunday School chlldreen and their excellent performance lust Saturday was largely due to Miss Pinson, and to Mr. W. J. Magee, who is Superintendent. Mr. Magee is the son of Mr. M. B. Magee, who organized the Sunday School In 1857, and continued to be its Superintendent for thirtythree years. His mantle has fallen on Ills son, who is a worthy son of a worthy sire. Mr. W. J. Magee was raised up In the way he should go, and when he Is older he has not depurtcd from the teachings and example of his father. We tound among the young people many kindred of old friends, and while there we felt that we were among good frleuds. Many kind things were said of the Press and Banner, and we have now more names on our books than we hod before we went there. Old friends are coming back, and new ones are being won to us. We were delighted with our trip to Walnut Grove, and were Impressed with the flue people who assembled there. They know how to make a visitor enjoy himself, and to none are we more Indebted than to the Messrs. Magee. The congregation was composed largely of as pretty ludles as can be found nnywhere.

Editor of Press and Banner : I am so Impressed with thecomlng election, that I nru obliged to express my views on this subject. The question should not bp. whether we; will elect Tillman, Bratton, or Enrle. or some j one else, Governor, but. Is the Governor to be an intelligent Christian gentleman. Can a christian man hold on to his religion, and at the same time vote for a man t?> rule over us who knows not God; no verily. When the wicked rule the people mourn. Wus the meeting at Laurens not enough to convince any christian man that he ought to stay away from such meetings. We are commanded to abstain even from the appearance of evil. It Is not only wicked and sinful for our people to conduct themselves in such a style, but it is a disgrace to the Suite. The question that, ought to concern Abbeville County more than who will be Governor, Is, who are you going to send to Columbia to make laws? Surely you will not vote for a man that you have tried and found wanting. Can you vote for a man that has ignored the will of the people. This brings me to the subject that is of vital importance to the county. Whisky. Did we not. have a popular vote on tills question ; and did not a large majority say they wanted no whisky sold In the county. What is Ignoring the will of the people If it was not done In repealing fie liquor law for Abbeville C. H.? I think sir, that those members of the House, together with our Senator who spoke and voted for whisky at Abbeville, should cover their faces with shame instead of asking us to vote for <Kstrv? IT tlinir fits* mill .,f p ople once, is there not room to suspect tnem again. What father Is there in the country who has a son will vote for a man to give that son whisky. If there is one that will do it, he does not care much for the well fare of his son. and is not worthy to be called father. Mr. Editor, the more I think of this subject the more awful It appears to me. I heard one man say lie was In favor of license if they would put the license at $2500, for each bar. He stud that, would keep the street In good order. Is $2500, the value of the blood of one man, say nothing of the scores and hundreds that fall victems to whisky. I am opposed to working the streets with blood money. Will any honest thinking man vote for a man to furnish whisky to his son or his neighbor's son, to have them come home with their faces bloated, their eyes puffed, their clothes covered with mud and tilth ; I say no. I want to S'?y a word to the class of meu that some candidates call the "wool hat men," meaning the class that have to labor, (for I atn one of that number.) My dear sirs, sliun every candidate that calls himself the friend of the wool hat and one gallus man. He Is nothing but a sneak, and will strike you every time he gets a chance. I shun nil such, as I would an adder. I have long since learned that all he wants Is to get your vote. When that Is secured he would not want to recoglnlse you In a diff erent company. Have we not tried some such men and when they got your vote they had no further use for you until the next election. Don't be gulled by such[8tuff any longer, but be men? take care of your sous and your neighbor's son. M. G. S. Stockholders Meeting.
