Of the twenty senior managers, fifteen arc dead. Four, J. F. Livingston, J.T. Robertson, James S. Cothran and W. A. Leo, remain with ' ns, while L. L. Martin lias found a home in the distant West.

C. Haskell, J. Mar. J tin, W. l>. McWborter and J. McBryde have other homes and live away from Abbeville. ( And so it Is, of the thirty-two of t he flower j and pride of the young manhood of this little ( community in 1S56,only seven remain with ( us to-day. ^ In their survival, the new generation has honored them, and the young men of 185'? are a the leading citizens of to day, to whom we ( look in confidence for safe counsel in all j the trying ordeals through which we may be v called to pass. t Of the dead we wouiu spcaK in terms 01 n?c r and respect. Their high character in civil t life, and their deeds of daring amid ilie j scenes of ^nr, command our love and admiratioD, while furnishing a hcritageof which v this people is justly proud. t These men may be said to have been the Abbeville of 1850, and each and all looked forward at that time to long careers of honor and usefulness. Hut death has been busy, and only a few are living to-day. * \V. M. Haddon, A. M. Smith, W. C. Davis, t M. T. Owen and R. X. Chatham were stricken c down amid the exciting scenes of battle, and a thus their lives were sacrificed on the altar ol I their country. Important and honorabk I commissions in the Confedearate army hac! t been confided to their keeping, and they < commanded high rank among their com- < rades in arms. I J. C. Calhoun perished on the boundless waste of a storm-swept prairie, with none to < minister to his wants, while others yielded < their lives to the last great enemy in various ( ways, yet, of the life and death of each, a dif- 1 ferent and a heart-touching story might be told. Tlie Industrial Scho#!^ , . To oor sister fown of Greenwood has been i xV awarded "the Baptist Orphanage. Greenwood i v* {Hedged money^to. seen re it. Now, what arc 1 we doing to get tho State Industrial School? ij Abbeville ought to have it, and can get it n easy enough at even a less cost to lis than |] was the Orphanage to Greenwood. t< The location of that Industrial College at Abbeville Court House would do more for n tliis village than any number of prospective t> or possible Railroads, and yet, so far as the j Press and Ranner knows, no eflort ts lieitiji ? made to secure so valuable a prize. If th< SUl,000 of the Del.a Howe estate was offered, we feel quite sure that the Siate would accept it on terms si in liar to those on which the Clem sou bequest was accepted, and estab u llsh the Colleee at Abbeville. s If the ?3i),0ii0 of the DoLa liowe estate was n Insufficient to;secure it, the ;tov n might easi- 11 ly supplement it. with additional money. 1 We have no | more interest in this- o matter than any other citizen. We have no axe;to.'grind. We only call atten- u tion to a rarejopportunity to confer a lusting ! benefit upon the town and to secure great ? _ jjood to f?ie individual citizens. The general 1 opTHToJLts, that we need something in the ' way of a College or school building, and if we v eould put up the needed structure and offer It to the State we might get a College, the maintenance of which would come from the puhlic treasury. j. | The town of Abbeville would seem to be the c natural place to locate the Industrial School \ and as the DeLa Howe school would have c to be moved but little in coming lo Abbeville t it appears that this is the most Inviting t place for it. But if Abbeville does not want | it, then is there any reason why some oi n the other towns of the County should not ap- ^ ply for the DeLa Howe estate to help build a j college for them? Tlie opportunity is a rare one, and the importance of early'actioM cannot be over estimated. Abbeville County should get the In- r dustrialjsohool. If Abbeville village doesn't ^ want it, then its importance should excite t the efforts of neighboring towns. 1 We believe the IndustriallScbool should be secured for Abbeville village, but if we conclude to do nothing, then we should help the other towns in the County to get the treasure, which we do not covot. ' By alljmeans let Abbeville County have the Industrial school for women. We feel quite sure that;wlth the I)eLa Howe estate added J that some of our townscau get it. Our List. I The publication of our list last week was J gratifying to our friend*, many ot whom have , spoken to us in words of congratulation. ! ?? t?-? tiitime we have hud everv reason I to believe that the plun of publishing the 1 isi | its a good one. It .settles all questions as to | a tual circulation, and it further settles ail! doubt as to the character of the list, and makes known the sections to which the paper is sent. s The circulation of a newspaper nmy be < said to be a testi'jionial as to tiie intelligence * of the various neighborhoods of the county, 1 and the publication of the list furnishes \ the names of many of the best citizens ' wiio look to the true educational interests of I their households. In this day of railroads, I telegraphs, schools and newspapers, there arc , 1 few families who can atford to do without a , newspaper, and we are glad to believe that ' the Abbeviile people subscribe for a large I} number ot newspapers. The political upheaval of last year has done much to en- I courage newspaper reading, and very many j1 persons now tube from twice to four times as j many papers as they took betore, while iuuI- j tltudes who never took n paper before, are: taking at least some of the "organs," or alter i having (ireil of them, have subscribed news ' papers.

We are also informed that the Supreme 'curt had years ago to settled the question hat a party had a right to demand u trial by nry in such eases. (?n the Kill day of June, IKS."., Jesse M.

The Hateman matter it seems has been revived. It was stated last nigh t that. Govern u Tillman had issued instructions to the atorney general to enter suit against \V. G. IJatenian, the ex-treasurer of the penitentia y, for the recovery of the alleged shortage In lis accounts.?Columbia State. If we are not out of order, may we not ask governor Tillman to order an in vesication nto the facts as to whether any of the Coun ,y Treasurers except Abbeville, ever account;d for the bills of the bank of the State vbich were tendered by the C. <fc G. railroad md other tax payers for taxes several years ii:o. Did the Treasurers of Oconee, Anderson, Jreenville^auiens and Newberry ever make ormal settlement for such bills?if such bills vere ever tendered to them, or eitner 01 hem? We of course know nothing of this natter, but we asked the preceding adminl.sratlon several times about this very mater. If Mr. Bateman is to be pushed to the wall, vhy not, let us know liow It Is with the Couny Treasurers ? Treat all alike, Governor. ? ? The Cumberland Gap. Our delegates who went to Charleston last veek failed to secure any substantial aid for he road which would give usdircctcommun :atlou with the city, and which would give l new outlet to Atlanta and the West, t has been the dream of Abbeville for years o have a new route to the city, but Charieson seems indifferent, and the lukewarmness >f that city has a chilling effect upon thos< >f us who would otherwise be enthusiastic or the connection.

Upon one of Hie orders being mnroperly given, several of the cars were lauly Jostled. The conductor got upon the engine to ascertain the cause. Finding Cliarey Green there lie proceeded to put him oil', md to kick him. When Charley reached the ,round hi-picked up tworoeks. Capl. Stuart 61 lowed hlin for ten or fifteen feet, and overaking him struck at him with his list. The icgro then dealt him a blow on the temple, mocking him unconscious. He remained so or several days, and was confined to his bed 1 or several weeks.
