This estimable young man died at his home in this county 011 last Sunday, and was buried at Ebenezer graveyard. Mr. Lotnax was a promising young business man, and bad his life been spared a bright c ireer was before him. Recommenced life here as a clerk for several of our merchants, and by his strict attention to business, his sobriety, his euergy, and his bonesty won the re spect and confidence of all his employers, and wus promoted from time to time, until he gained the responsible position held at the time ot his death. After the death of the lamented Charlie Wardlaw, another of our best young men, whose brief life gave great prom-1 lse or useiuiuess ana innuonce, ana wnen Messrs. Thurber, Wtiyland & Co., of New York, were looking about for a successor to bim, Will Lomax was highly recommended for the position and secured it. It took but a short time for him to Impress these gentlemen with the fact that he was a worthy successor to him whom they held in such high esteem. Mr. Lomax gave great satisfaction to his i employees, Messrs. Thurber, Whylaad & Co., and was considered oue of their most active i and reliable salesmen. He was diligent lu I basiness, faithful to his trusts, and frugal in I bis habits. Alas! that such a life should have ! been so soon ended, but God's ways are not as our ways. The ?., C. A X. Road. J Work Is progressing slowly, and the track is being laid this way from Chester at the rate ] of ft little over a mile a week. The cars will | likely reach Clinton this week, which is eighteen miles east of the Saluda. ( The tracklayers from Greenwood will likely ( reach Saluda by to-day, \vien the bridge , builders will go to work. / The construction force will tbeu lay/track , toward ivOtig uaue. < The railroad folk will soon comply with , their part ol the contract, aud the property owners of the township may now lookout for the railroad tax, which will probably be levled for the next collection. Premlntn Colt. Mr. Joseph N. Nance, of Due West, was in town last Monday, driving his beautiful dark mahogony bay ttlly. It Is two years and three months old, bands high, and weighs nine hundred pounds, and it is one of the best trotters in all that section. He bought the colt a six months old from Mr. Frank Lee, aud witb a good 6tart, he has succeeded in raising an uncommonly fine horse. Mr. Nance will enter his lilly at the State Fair next Fall, and if he dosen't take the premium, some very tine stock will be put in ' competition. .. _ ?. Abbeville I.ookinjf I'p. Messrs. P. Rosenberg & Co., are rapidly pushing the work on their splendid store on | the Mcllwaine corner.. It will be 24 x 100 feet, with spleudid Iron and plate glass front. I The Bunk building upxt to the store is In an , advanced state of completion. The two will | make a most attractive business corner. The , Unnlf *r> ? I 1 llu.lv KnlMInn and the corner store, being one of the most ( desirable in town, is for rent and offers a most inviting place for new business men. Marrlaices. Joseph T. Johnson, Esq., of the Laurens Bar, and well known to our people, was married last Wednesday to Miss Saruh Anderson, of Laurens. Mr. B. M. McGee, formerly of this county, but now of Gieenvllle, was married last week to a lady In Massachusetts. Blood in AueiiNta. L. H. Pattillo, staff correspondent of the Au(/xista Chronicle, shot and killed C. P. Hutson In the streets of Augusta last Saturday night. The men met and each began tiring at the same time. Pattillo was wounded. Hutson was instantly killed. Both parties emptied their pistols, only one ball from each taking effect ?. Pieasnnt Visit. Mr. J. Kinney Milford. formerly of this village, and Mr. Oscar S. Strom, both now of Mount Willing. Edgetleld county, honored us with a call yesterday evening. Mr. Milford returns to visit his relatives, and Mr. Strom r comes to see our place and people. Pleasant trip to both.

Wanamaker & Brown, Philadelphia. Pa. The larg- . est clothing and merchant tailoring house In America. L't Election Ticket. The proposition to print all the names on one election ticket does not take. The pro- I position then, we believe, has been aban- i aoned. J > ! Dime Reading: nnd Ice Crenm. The ladies of the Ninety-Six Presbyterian ' church will give a dime reading and serve ice ] cream at the residence of Prof. Cork, Friday uight, August8th. The public are invited. , i A delightful entertainment was given last < night at the home of Mr. C. V.

Brown, of Wllllamston ; Mr. Frank Evans, ot Memphis, Tennessee. The Alliance made a gallant fight against tbe Jute trust last year. The price has tallen from 12 to 6 cents. That will make the wrapping for a bale of cotton cost about (J5 cents at the gin this year. That is better than paying a dollar.?Carolina Spartan. Miss Lula Williams, teacher of the Smlthvllle Acadenly, will close her school with a picnic at Morton's (now Collins') Mill, the 8th of August. The candidates and public have a cordial invitation to attend. \V. H. Ahrens was shot at Ten-Mile, near Charleston, last Sunday morning by T. D. Green. Ahrens was lu the house of the slaj?r. The slain man was in a compromising situation with the wife of the slayer. Correspondents who send cominunlca uviio tv me uonnj/ciwvia, wmioub ftig u i ug their names, are simply wasting tlieir time. 1 Tho fact that the name is withheld Is a suspi- I ^ clous circumstance. Tom NVolfolk will hamr. Tho Supreme i Court of Georgia bunded down Its decision last Monday sealing the fate of the man wh?> murdered nine 01 his relatives In as many j minutes. The meeting at Flat Hock last week was I quite a success. There was a great revival i and several additions to the church. The | congregations at Wlllington were large. Don't forget to come to the barbecue and | picnic at Wideman's Thursday. Lemonude, ; milk shake and soda water will be served by ! L. W. Sign & Co.

Mr. Curtis Scudduy, born and reared In this place, but now of Nashville Ten . spent last Monday and Tuesday here. Rev. T. C. Ligon, was In town Monday the guest 01 Mr. R. A. McDonnell. Misses Marie and Luhi Power, of Due West, and Miss Norma Power, of Anderson, C. H. were visiting friends in town Tuesday and Wednesday. Rev. J. C. Beard and Mr. E. H. Mathews, went to the District Conference in Edgefield on Wednesday. Mr. J. M. Baker was called to Greenwood on business, Wednesday. i>r. J. B. Moseley, went to Abbeville C. H. Wednesday, to Greenwood Thursday, where he took in the political meeting at that pluce, then on to Spartanburg. Mr. Ed McDavid, of Due West, reached here Wednesday accompanied by his sister Mrs. E. R. Horton, who had been on a visit to her father Dr. McDavid at that that place. Mrs. Rossle Harkness, of Antreville, was In tcwn Thursday. Mr. B. M. Fitts died here at his father's Mr. F. W. Fitts, of consumption, Wednesday night. His funeral services were performed by the Rev. W. A. Gaines, aud his remains were deposited in Providence cemetery. Messrs. W. P. Bryautand W. H. Downs, of Augusta, Ga. spent a few days last week with the family of Mr. F. W. Fitts. Capt. W. K. White left for his home at (ireenvillel C. H., Saturday morning. The vivacious Miss Ayelette Chalmers, of Abbeville C. H. Is now. and has been for the past two or three days the guest of Dr. J. ?B. Mosely. Our periodical street working, in part, took place last week, will have some more of the ^oma cr\rt whftn if. r?lnfi. Mr. J. 11. Franks is building on his farm, two miles out, a commodious bay house. If lie fills it, the planters in this Township at least, will not have to use any hay raised Xorth of Mason and Dixon's line. Rev. T.C. Ligon, assisted by the Rev. W. T. Mathews, of Greenwood, began a Communion Meeting in Providence church Friday night, and the meeting will continue a part of the incomlug week. A centennial service will be hold at Good dope next Saturday, said church having been organized one hundred years ago. There ?re but very few of our our churches that can jlaim so long an existence. Cannot some one jompetenttodo it, give us a history of this Lime-honored church. Quite a number of our people, a short dis:atice below here, have found, and are now engaged in, remunerative work, on the G. C. fc N. K. R. who would not favor railroads? Crops are now doing their level best, cotton especially. Corn crops will be pretty generilly much shorter than those last year, but if the planters will sow oat: "first, last ?nd all the time" till next sprSsg the short urops will not be felt. There Is said to have been qirite an interesting picnic in the Monterey neighborhood on Saturday. It was well attended, and general enjoyment ruled the hour. A few days ago one of "the nation's wards" i youthful "coon" ate so many (seven tis ?ald) watermelons, together with the seed, thatoneofour M. D's. did with difficulty save him from going "to parts unknown." We learn that Mr. Wm. DuPre, near Latimer Is very soon to move to Abbeville C. H; we are sorry to lose so valuable a citizen. Mr. E. R. Horton has been confined to the iiouse but not to his bed for the past week or two, by sickness, we hope that he may soon regain his wanted health. Miss Reynolds, of Greenwood, is now visit Insi her Irlend Miss Jennie Harper. Our little town this year has not been enlivened by the presence of as many young laiy visitors as it was last year, so far there liave not been "enough to go round" as a necessary consequence, at every gathering, mine of our young men are "left out in the jold." TROUPE. ? ??? Long Cane, S. C., August 4,1890. Sow turnips. The corn crop will be short. Cotton will yield well if seasons are favora- , )le. Mr. John M. Lelth has a good school at the L'ross Roads. The Abbeville train now uses air brakes. We are now living in the afternoon of 1890. Nearly all the early peach trees have died his year. Capt. James Pratt has a fine crop of corn on ,he banks of Long Cane. Some farmers have commenced to sow oats. More than two-thirds of the Abbeville >ranch railroad is in Long Cane township. Mr. A. T. Mcllwaine takes great interest in lis bees and finds ready sale ior his honey. August is the hottest and most disagreeable nonth in the year. The Sunday School atEbenezer prospers anier the superintendency of Mr. Charles A. lolls. Mr. W. Oscar Cromer has built a handsome :ottage. He is still adding finishing touches ;o it at idle times. 1 The sun is farther from the earth now than t is in December bv three million miles, but t doesn't feel that way. The prayer meeting: still continues atShlloh >n Sunday afternoon, and Is well attended by :be neighbors. Correspondents should use personal prolouns as sparingly as possible, and where pos- 1 iible avoia them altogether. Upland corn is not as good this year as it ivas last year. Cotton is thought by some to jo equally as good, but the stalk Is not so large. Young Nimrods are anxiously awaiting the ime when the game law will cease its vigilance so they can Improve in marksmanship. The Willow Spring Alliance held an Important meeting on July 26th. This division is imong the strongest and best in the county, md is ably presided over by Mr. W. E. Morrison. Rosa Wilson, the negro woman who was <hot through the head about ten days ago by John Conner, will recover. How any one can live with a ball in t.he bruin is a mystery. The farmers have been abundantly blessed with good rains, and now can't see why they complained so much for rain. It generally jomes when least expected. Mr. Ed. M. Syfan and several others from tVbbeville spent a pleHsaot day at Morton's Mill fishing last Saturdny. The population of Maine has decreased so much in the last ten years that she will lose lite Congressman, and may that one be Reed, the curse to the South. If the negro should be disfranchised and allow representation in Congress for the white population only, the number of Representatives from this State In the Lower House would be reduced to three. Farmers expect to sow plenty of grain this rail. But they are somewhat discouraged (vlth wheat, but oats generally turn out well, farmers should sow plenty of barley, as this makes an excellent feed for stock. A New Englander was heard to say that the Xortb could not afford to send her best men to Congress as they were needed at home. So she sends men who are hardly fit to govern, Put are fully competent to abuse and villlly the South, such as Reed and his gang. The watermelon crop this year ha9 been a failure?with those who planted none. Such persons will always plant a nice patch the next year. They are sure to take care of the future and are determined to let the present 'gang aglee." The hatred which Reems to exist between some sections of the North and the South Is kept alive only by weak politicians who have nothing else to discuss. The majority of the people in both sections have the kindest feelings for each other. The men on both sides ivho do the bippest talk Inc dirt thr> IpjlkI. fichu I UK during the war. Mr. Moore's letter in last week's Press and Banner Is lull of common sense, and some of the candidates should take the hint. True men are wanted lor office?men who have the Interest of the people at heart, and not the man who can inuke the loudest noise for the popular candidate for Governor. Mr. J. D. Miller will stop his grist mill at his house and start his saw mill on ltapley'6 Shouts in a few days. Mr. Miller always gives satisfaction in everything he undertakes. Honesty and perseverence in business makes many a man a fortune, a host of friends?and a clear conscience. People may talk about "good old times," but limes were never better than they are now. L'eople are more prosperous, harmony and ijood feeling prevail everywhere except iimong politicians who attempt to create strife among a peaceful people for the sake of fame and "boodle." Miss Eppie Hannah has a flourishing school at the Central school tiouse. She is a good teacher and has the respect and confidence of her pupils and patrons, who will do well to keep her as long as they can. But Long Cane girls do not remain teachers long. If the negro should be colonized In New Mexico or some other country this would leave room for Immigration of the scum of Europe and the North, who would come here aDd expei t to be treated as equals, and would ?oon attempt to trample out the rights of the Rommoo DeoDle. The nee?ro is humhle nnd easily satisfied outside of politics, and so for the present St woifld be wise to let him remain where be is. No man should be elected to the office of School Commissioner who does not Intend to give his whole time to the office. $50 per month should be a satisfactory remuneration for this office. They should be pledged to stay at the county seat and attend to their business To visit a house where one cannot see a book or newspaper is sad to think about, yet it sometimes happens. How can such parents hope to rear an Intelligent family? Pa rents who take no Interest in reading good books and newspapers raise children who will partake of the same habit. Children are great imitators and will follow the example set for them. Better to economise in eating, if necessary, and save money to purchase a few good books and newspapers. Men who are too selfish to buy books and newspapers are Invariably cursed with ignorant children, whereas the man who supplies his children witb plenty good reading matter is blessed with interesting and intelligent children. Mr. William David Lotnax, wbo has Ween traveling salesman for Messrs. Thurber, Whyland & Co., of New York, for the last three years, died of typhoid fever at his home in Smithville township, August 3d. He had been confined to his bed but one week, when his soul was called to Him who gave it. SEMINOLE. ALLIANCE AND SCHOOL. Xen1 DwoIIInjf Hoiitten and New Store Rooiiin?The Ball and Bat. Donai-ds, S. C., Aug. -J, 1S90. Our town was alive with base ball Saturday. Three games were plas'ed. two by colored teams and one by the white boys. The "Jim Jocks," Donalds second nine, and "Possum Kingdom," from Mattison Post Office, played, resulting in a pretty heavy score in favor of "Possum KlDgdom." Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mattison are visitiug in Piedmont, S. C. The old school house was sold Saturday to Mr. P. A. Tribble at 8155. Mr. Trlbble means to make a dwelling of it, which will bo for rent Dr. Reed, wife and daughter, aro visiting at Mr. .1. C. Caldwell's. They ure thinking of making Donalds their home. Prof. Showalter will begin his Normal School next Tuesday, August. 12. The Mllance and school patrons are going to bulla a large two-story building. The first floor will be used for the school room, and the second floor as an Alliance hall. Our peopleare rather enthused about a good school house, and a high grade school, and no i doubt we will have a tine school next winter. Mr. W. F. Itowiand is thinking of putting up a dwelling. What docs this mean? Mr. Booker intends to put up two fine store rooms at an early date. We are going to bootn this fall. We are not as near dead as one of our neighboring towns thinks. Q. ON HIGH GROUND. The Abbeville t'onnty Alliance ItaincH the Boycott, and Declares in Favor of NcwNpnper.H. At the quarterly meeting of the Abbeville County Alliance that body assumed high ground In rescinding the existing boycott against certain newspapers, and In making unmistakable declarations encouraging the brethren to subscribe for as many newspapers 1 of their own choice, as their means would allow. They recognize the value of newspapers as an educator, and believe that In knowledge there Is power. This action last Friday will commend the Alliance to the favorable opinion ol the people of Abbeville county, and will do much to bring about harmony and good feeling among all the people. The Alliance may sometimes swing a little out of plumb, but she will Jinallydo the right, and by giving "equal rights to all, and epeclal privileges to none," will rise to the highest positions among the best organizations of the country. Tney have done themselves and the county honor by passing the resolutions unanimous- , ly, while they propose to stand or fall on the merits of their order, fearing nobody, asking no favors of anybody, and yielding perfect freedom of thought, speech and action to everybody. I Standing on this high ground, Alllancemen in every part of the State may well follow the Independent, wise and sagacious course of the i Abbeville Alliance in proclaiming for educa- j tlon, newspapers, free speech, and untrammeled action for its members, as will be seen I In the following resolution, which we repub- J lish for the reason that some are not aware of j the recent action: < Whereas, the Alliance of Abbeville county, i relying upon the rectitude of Its intentions and conscious ot the strength of its cause can t afford to be generous and fair to those outside of the order, however ignorant they may be of our benevolent motives and noble purposes ; And whereas, the difTusIon of knowledge is promotive of strength and happiness, while furnishing the surest safeguard of a people's rights; ! And whereas, it Is important that every family which is represented in this order should enjoy the moral, religious, practical I *??! nHuantarrno Af' tnlmnlo nnH newspapers, therefore be It Resolved, That it is the sense of this Alliance that its members should support the schools Eind subscribe for as many newspapers, of their own choice, as their means will allow.
