Cannot High School | will begin the first Monday in September under the management of Miss Drake, of Anderson. We congratulate the patrons in se-l curing the services of one so capable and I faithtui, and we have no hesitancy in saying thai HUB institution of learning will be one of which the Valley town will be proud of and will prove a grand success. A son of Mr. Lam Brough was badly bitten by a vicious cat a few days ago. Pompey Mathina an ex-convict from the Georgia chain ganpr drew a pistol from his pocket and fired at Marlah Scott, a peaceable colored woman, as she was wending herwa3homeward, at the came time robbing her of n hnndie of clothlne she carried.

Powell, one of the first merchants of Mt. Carinel has retired from the merchan- , tile world, and will turn bis attention to ng- ' ricultural pursuits. Another new store opened here under the I, firm name of Covin & Black.

The race is over and some good men are left, but it is worth cuterlng upon such a cum- i palgn if lor no other purpose than to hud out how many friends you have. Don't be dis- i couraged; we were left once ourself and know how it feels. We will run ditlerenily next time, so as to "gat there." The bridges over the public road and side walks on Magazine street are in a dangerous condition-iu splendid fix to break the leg of a mule or night pede*traiu. A little attention at once might save damages to the council. The sidewalk that leads to the depot Is also in a bad condition, washed out in great boles, which makes walking to a blind man ob a dark night uotonly difficult, but dangerous. Rev. P. B. Jackson preached two excelleut | sermons in the M. B. Church last Sabbath i morning und night to a large and attentive | congregation. j; Question?Is It right In the sight or the j Lord of the Sabbath to transact secular and lluanclal business of the church on the Sabbath day? We think not and will hold to our opinion as long us the command, "Rc-i member the Sabbath day to keep it holy" Is in force. What says theminlsters and church j officials on the subject ? There will be divine services in the Baptist church at this place at 11 o'clock nextSabbath by the pastor Rev. J. A. Brown. Rev. A. K. Berry has gone to Edgefield to as- , slst Rev. C. D.

The schedule on the Abbeville brunch will change after the 1st instant, making five dally trips instead of four as heretolore. This is more time than was ever made on this road and will give the train hands every night and Sunday in the City or Hodges. This looks like the railroad auihorlties are waking up to the interests of old Abbeville. From the first of September next W. T. McDonald wilt be found In the store of Messrs. A. M. Hill ?fc Sons, where he will at all times extend a hearty welcome to his many friends, and especially his old customers whom he will be prepared to serve with the best goods, and at the lowest prices.

II1m Old FrlrndH in Orangeburg; Testify to H1h High Character. Published by Request. To the Editor of the News and Courier: In your issue of August 15 appeared a special from Greenville, lu which your correspondent repeats a story to the effect that "Capt. D. K. .Norrls was forced to leave Orangeburg couDty Jn consequence of immoral conduct?' Now we, the undersigned, old neighbors and acquaintances of Capt. D. K. Norris. among whom be was born and reared, deeply regret and deplore that such base and unfounded rumors should be circulated through the re-| spectanie press 01 me state to me injury or1, one of her best cltlzeus, take this occasion,. unsolicited by any one,saveour sense of right | and Justice to our old neighbor, to denounce i and deny, and pronounce unqualifiedly false, j any and all such base slanders. We have known Capt. U. K. Norris all his life, and a| more honorable, upright and pure citizen Orangebur* county has never reared, and in-I stead of bclug "forced" to leave this locality ? It was with great regret and a deep sense of our love for him to sever his association from us and remove to Anderson county. E. L. Dantzler, P. M., H. W. Hhame, S.P.Wells, W. L. Stoutamire, J.F.

AbbevllleN Waste Place* to be Marie Beautiful and Attractive?Busy Hnnris auri Splnninjr Wheels to BrlnK Thrift and JProeperity to All. Only a short time ago. some of our correspondents made note that lands tiad been brought by a syndicate at the crossing of the G. C. & N. road and the Savannah Valley Railroad, where it was proposed to build a new town which should draw trade for miles around, and whose advantages would be instrumental in bringing new citizens to the invitlnp fields which lay in close proximity. The lands were to be divided and sold In lots, and all sorts of enterprises were expected to be born and reared in that section which has been so long lacking in those pursuits which bring prosperity. And now It will afford our readers pleasure to know that Mr. Pat Calhoun, ol New York, has at this time, at Millwood, two civil engineers engaged in the work making a preliminary survey of that immense water power, which has so long been said to be, the best In :ill this country. The sites for factories are to be planned, and the cost of building a canal is to be investigated. The building of factories at Millwood will of course depend upon the cost of utilizing the power. If the cost should be low enough to enable Mr. Calhoun and his company to run factories profitably, the factories will be built. The engineers, Mr. E. A. Calcut, and his assistant, Mr. H. T. Sherman, express tlicinselves?after having casually goue over the "round?as believing that it is finer than the power at Augusta, which is ten thousand horse power. These gentlemen further say, that the canal ran be easily built, and at small cost. The outlook for building in this county an immense lactory and a booming town was never better. Owing to the lack of transportation, and the inducements which the rallroad offered, on the Eastern side of the county, that side of the county has not flourished during the last forty years. Hut now with superior railroad facilities, a demand will becrcated for the vast areas of uncultivated lands in that section, and the probability is, that the matchless water power on the Savannah will be put to some useful industry. The building of the Savannah Valley Railroad and the construction of the G. C. <fe N. road through that part of the County has penetrated und opened up a larger territory than could be found in other desirable sections of LUC OUIbC, UX1U OLiUUlU UUt UU PUipuotU IV see another Greenwood on the Savannah. A new town, a large factory, aud two new railroads will change the appearance of all that country. Those of our fellow citizens who own vast areas of land, may now bocoine rich lti the enhanced value of their hitherto unprofitable lands. Locals by Observer. The quick work of the Pres* and Banner in eetting the result of the election before the people last Saturday was the wonder of the crowd. The voters of this County have a nut to crack. D. K. Norris must get Democratic voters to be elected, yet he says upon the question of the sub treasary plan, he will support it caucus or no caucus. Can he do this ana remain a Democrat. Rev. P. B. Jackson was in the city last sabbath and preached morning and evening in the Methodist Church. As usual his sermons were powerful and soul stirring. Robt. Emmet Cox will move In Fort Pickens and occupy the House of Mr. P. D. Klugh. Houses are In demand ana rents are rising. Now Is the time for the owners of town lots to build upon them. The want of houses will keep a way many who are looking towards Abbeville. We know of five or 6lx men now hunting resiliences! they are not here and we are waiting to see who will start the ball towards providing for them. The suggestion of the editor of the Press and Banner lsagoodone. When the G. L. and S. arrived at Laurens, a Banquet was given to Superintendent Wad ley and his forces consisting of Ihree hundred men. The same was done at Woodruff, Spartanburg and Anderson and these are the only towns on those lines of road that have made progreses. The Banquet at Anderson cost some fifteen hundred dollars. It showed the progressive spirit animating her people four years ago, and that spirit is still alive and Anderson's growth Is phenomlnal. Let Abbeville move. Last Saturday the candidates left out took their defeat in an admirable manner, Could they lift the veil of the the future, I have no doubt sdttie of them would have rejoiced in not beltig allowed to enter that circle which might be Justly inscribed above it "all who enter Here must leave peace of mind and the hope of a tranquil life behind." Cotton is falling fast, the top crop upon which hopes were built is gradually disappearing before the parching rays of the sun, the crop will not, If this weather continues many more days, reach more than sixty per cent, of the crop of 1889 in this county. The Oil Mill Company are putting up an immense ginery, the machinery will be so arranged that only one man will have to attend % wagon of cotton, this wiil be a immense saving in Itself. This community was shocked to learn of r?f the death of Bob McGee and Press Calhoun within a very short time, Abbeville has lost Lbree of her best business young men, men who apparently were the favorets or fortune as they were far on the road to wealth, THE WAREHOUSE SNARE. What We Should Do Now, Since Ben* et 1m Out or the Race. Greenwood, S. C.. August 25,1890. Editor Prena and Banner : Do our farmers all over the county know if the Sub-Treasury bill passes that there will be but one warehouse to each county, and that will be at the Court Houses? And if the farmers of Lowndesville, Mount Carmel. McCor micK, troy, urauiey, ureenwooa, iNineiy-six, Hodges, Donalds, and other points on the railroad get any advantage of the warehouse they will have to haul their cotton to the Court House to store it. Now, Mr. Edllor, I am well aware that this Is the least of all the many objections to the bill, but I think every objection to it should be well known before next Friday. Let the farmers all over the counly build warehouses of their own, where they will accommodate the largest uumber. The farmers of NinetySix and Greenwood are now building theirs. I hope no one will think this is written with any feeling against the Court House, for I know the merchants at Abbeville would not vote for the bill for the trade that would be In It for them. They are too clear headed for that. I did all I could for Benet as long as he was in the field. Now let us all see what majority we can give Johnstone. It is not the man In the fight now?It is the measure. Yours truly, L. M. MOORE. ? Greenwood PernonnlM. GREENWOOD, S. C., August 25, 1890. Mr. Mathews, assisted by Rev. Mr. Neville, Is carrying on a protracted mcetlug In the Presbyterian church. We hope the members win ail attenu ana every one lane an interest In the meeting. Miss Sue and Miss Annie Bond, of Charleston, are spending a week or two with their sister, Mrs. Charlie Benndrot. "E," In company with some young ladles, visited the factory one day last weelt. We are very proud of our factory as it is the first one for Grtenwood, but we are satisfied if Greenwoou still Improves as It has in the last year or so, it won't be long before she will have two or three more. We also came by the new depot for the G., C. & N. R. It., which we must say adds a great deal to our town. Mr. Herbert Barnes, one of Anderson's handsomest young drummers, passed through towD a few days ago. Mr. J. K. Durst is having his house remodeled, and when finished will be one of the handsomest dwellings in town. Mrs. Eliza Logan and her two daughters, who have been spending some time with relatives and friends in town, left a few days ago lor Greenville, S. C., to visit Mrs. Hodges. Our third nine went up to Abbeville on Thursday last to play with the \bbevllle nine. The boys were very much pleased with the good old Abbeville people, and thank them for the hospitality shown them during their stay. Miss Price, of Columbia, is here teaching dancing. The Misses Power left Saturday for their Hnmou in T^na Woct a rwl A n H orunn U Letter to Colonel Iloyt. As the quesllon of who Is the Democratic Executive Committee is being agitated, we copy a letter from a gentleman who is not now a member: Abbeville, S. C., Aug. 10,1890. Col. James A. Hoyt, Greenville, S. C.: Dear Sir?I have seen In the newspapers that the State Democratic Executive Committee of which you were chairman, has refused to vacate in favor of the State Democratic Executive Committee elected by the State Convention which met in Columbia on the 13th Instant. I feel that the old committee is functus officio, and that the newly elected committee ot which Col. J. L. M. Irby is chairman is the only legally constituted State Democratic Executive Committee now in existence. I cannot therefore attend the meeting of the old committee which you have called to meet at Columbia on the 22nd instant. Yours truly. EUGENE B. GARY.

The enrs arrived at Clinton last Tuesday, and the iron is being laid from that Coint toward Saluda river, where a force of ands are already putting up the iron bridge. The track laying from Greenwood towards Abbeville is still going on. The cars are now at McKinue.v's creek, one mile and a half (if>m Long Cane. The cars are expected at Long Cane Friday night. Thefinlshiug touches are being put to the grading between Long Cane and Abbeville. There will be considerable delay at Long Cane in putting up the bridge and the trestle. [ Hut It Is thought the cars will reach Abbeville about the 15th of October. They will push on towards Atlanta, and It Is thought the track will be finished to the Savannah by Christmas. The depot at Abbeville is being built, and will be flQlsbed in good time. The Newberry and Columbia railroad will tap the G., C. <k N. about two miles from Clintou.auduse the track of the latter to come Into Cliuton. ? NEW COTTON. The Crop In Much Earlier Tlinn Usual. The first bale of new cotton was sold In this market August 20th, by Mr. Jacob Goode, a tenant on the lauds of Mr. I\ A. McCaslan. It weighed 4S3 pounds, middling, and was houehL hv Messrs. White Brothers at 11 cents. On the 21st, Messrs. Hunter Brothers sold the second bale, Messrs. White Brothers being the buyers at 10-% cents. Weight, 4;Vi pounds. On the 25th instant, Mr. Boltn B. Allen sold a bale to Messrs. Baker, Matthews & Co. at 11 cents. Dr. Chiles sold the first bale at Ninety-Six. Mr. E. M. Lipscomb, the buyer, at 11 cents. Many planters are now picking cotton from the fields which are dally growing whiter with the fleecy staple, and amoog other planters who were conk-ndlng for the honor of the first new bale, is Mr. John H. Thomas who brought in a bale in the seed to the McMillan gin. but it was uot ginned until yesterday. The gins at Abbeville are ready for business. C'nr<l Whlcli Shows the Report* Against Dr. P. H.
