The cars 011 the new railroad will soon be here. Arc we doing anything to take advantage of it, or to improve our opportunity? The only thing that we have heard of being done, Is the raising of the price of, say SIOO lots, to say 8500. or figures greatly In excess of what would have beeu considered a fair price We fear that lot owners have become so| much Impressed with the value of their i lunds, that Instead of having any abnormal growth, the natural and steady building up of the town will be stopped. People who desire to build will not pay from one hundred to five hundred per cent, advance on lots, before there is a single evidence ot growth In our midst. It Is to be hoped that lot owners may be reasonable and that investors in houses may be encouraged to go on. Faitli lu the Town. Mossrs. P. Rosenberg & Co. seem to have , more faith In the town than any one else, and have expi-nded more money In buildings | within the last year or two thau the whole , town beside. Just now they are putting up on the Moll- , waine corner, oue of the most elegant build- , lngs In town. It is a store room 21x100, iron and plate gla?s front, hlith celling, and modern improvements generally, which will oflVr i special inducements to any new firm which may feel disposed to go into business. It is a source 01 pleasure ior iuoDf??nu Banner to note the prosperity which has come to this liberal and enterprising Ann. who are giving universal satisfaction to their host ol customers. In addition to the elegant store room, they are also titling up a splendid baukiug house lor the Farmer's Bauk. Brother Soldier. We had a very pleasant call last week from Mr. B. J.

A Nice Thins; .Spoiled?A Church Composed Chiefly or ChrlHtinn$t?> ViMltorN. SANTUCK, S. C., Aug.R, 1890. For the benefit of theme who are'not acquainted with this community, I will simply <tnte that it is about six miles South-East of jreenwood, and is on the ridge midway between the Savannah and Saluda rivers. It is aoted for its healthfulness, refinement and renerosity. We huvo most excellent schools ind church advantages, besides being one of :he best farming localities iu the county. In the issue of the Press and Banner of the Wth of July, I notice your correspondent , from Ninety-Six, speaking of a manganese mine which had been discovered on the planation of .Mr. A. C. Stockman, states that "it s or very line quality and unlimited almost | n quantity." I do not in the least wish to ontradict your correspondent, but merely .vi.sii to say that he is somewhat mistaken in egard to quantity. I was informed that a Vir. Clark, of Chicago, had made an lnvestigalon and found it to be limited in quantity ?nd not worth working. He has returned lorn?. Mr. George Teddards and family, of Edgeleld county, who have been visitlntr In this ;ommunlty. returned home Wednesday, the ith.

It has a large membership, which is composed chiefly of worthy, true and untiring christians. Mr. and Mrs.Samuel Botts returned to their iome near Abbeville yesterday, after a pleasmt visit in this locality.

Another Week'* ProstresH on the Work?The Bridge nt Snlu<ln?The Tracklayer* Within Nine Mlle? of 1 Abbeville?All Is Well. The tracklayers from Greenwood reached , the Saluda In the first days of Inst week, and ihe great Iron bridge, which had been waiting 1 it Greenwood for several days, was immediitely can led forward. The bridge builders ire now placing It in position on the piers. ' The tracklayers are now In the neighbor- i iood of Evans's Mill, or about nine miles from Abbeville. It is said that the tracklay?rs will have to wait for several days on the grading force, who lack a little of having ; :heir Job finished. 1 At Abbeville the work of building the depot aas been commenced. 1 Timbers for the trestles hereaboutareon the :ars at the C. & G. depot, and this work will ( je pushed. The grading between this place and Long 1 Jane is Dearly finished. ] Tlio irrurllnff fi iroD hoc oKnnt nAvaroil iha ?round between Abbeville and the Savannah ' river. ' Coming from the east side of the Saluda ;bere is still about eighteen miles of track to j ay between Clinton and Saluda. From the head of the road In Abbeville 1 :ounty to Abbeville there remains nine miles i jf unlaid track, including two bridges and . several trestles. These facts lead us to believe that the first 1 train that crosscs the Saluda will make a i itralght run for Abbeville. The tracklayers and bridge builders on this side can surely lay nine miles while the other 1 force beyond the Saluda is laying eighteen ] iniles. If they lay a mile a week that will make It about the middle of October when the cars 1 will be here. Of course If the force which Is now coming this way from Greenwood, should be turned ; t>ack to work on the track beyond the Saluda, is soon as the bridge is finished the cars will irrlve at Abbeville some two months later, und would bring the cars to Greenwood correspondingly earlier. DniMlmr nl (hn pnt a r\f n 11 f t I rv\ l>o ^ r> mile n week, the curs will cross the Saluda in the early part of November, when Abbeville will have auother connection with the out- 1 side world. AT MEANS CHAPEL. Pleasant Gathering or Good People? They Have a Good Dinner, and Then I.hten to Electioneering Speeches. Last Saturday the Press and Runner went to the Mean's Chapel pic uic. A large company of people assembled. Capt. S. W. Cochran was grand high priest of the occasion, and discharged the duties of Chairman in a most acceptable manner. He made It pleasant for visitors, speakers, candidates, and all. The first speaker was General Hemphill. Others followed, while the people sat on the benches listening to the speeches, or talking to each nthermi the nilf.Rkiris. This was truly a Democratic meeting. Every candidate for every olHce had an opportunity to speak, and every one had auditors to hear what he had to say. The youne people danced in the new school house, in which pretty Miss Llla Howie teaches a score or more of little boys and girls to tlie satisfaction of the patrons of the school. The dinner was spread on a lurge table. The ladies nnd the candidates were invited to go inside the hollow square. As the procession moved to the table the Press and Banner had a special invitation to go with the ladies and the candidates. Mr. Doc Bowie had superintended (he bar becue, and that fact of Itself Is a sufficient guarantee that the hash and mutton were of the most palatable kind. Mr. Bowie Is a host of himself, a id always adds pleasure to aDy meeting with which he has anything to do. Mr. Samuel P. Pressly, of Long Cane, was one of the honored guests on this occasion.

The Abbeville County Alliance Raises the Boycott, and Declares in Favor of Newspapers. 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 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 ill the people. The Alliance may sometimes swing a little aut of plumb, but she will finally do the right, and by giving "equal rights to all, and special privileges to none," will rise to the highest positions among the best organizations of the country. Tney have done themselves and the county lionor by passing the resolutions unanimously, while they propose to stand or fall on the merits of their order, fearing nobody, asking ao favors of anybody, and yielding perfect freedom of thought, speech and action to evarybody. Standing on this high ground, Alllancemen In every part of the State may well follow the Independent, wise and sagacious course of the Abbeville Alliance in proclaiming for education, newspapers, free speech, and untrammeled action for lis members, as will be 6een In the following resolution, which we repub llsh for the reason that some are not aware of the recent action: \Vheren8, the Alliance of Abbeville county, relying upon the rectitude of Its intentions and conscious ot the strength of its cause can 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 diffusion 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 and intellectunl advantages of schools and newspapers, therefore be it Resolved, That It is the sense of this Alliance that its members should support the schools and subscribe for as many newspapers, of their own choice, as their means will allow.BIltTHS.
