T. i ? t. icttAr mid breathes I ie |f the enthusiasm of a public spirited citizen 111 V who is deeply Impressed with the correctness P> of Ills opinions. j vi s Speaking for the Press and Banner, we sin- j eerely wish Columbia well, and we trust thai m ' the centennial may be all that the most ar- tv B dent and enthusiastic workers for Its suoccsh * K may desire. to L But we don't see that Abbeville is called ai p upon to erect an arch iu that city. it is Columbia's entertalninent-not Abbe- pi L'vine's. e> ^ If, however, anybody desires to erect one or cJ more arches we have not the slightest objec. q< tlnu. But with convictions like these It would f/j ^Hbe impossible for us to urge our people to do ! w Ho. j(i< In connection with this, and In reference to j remarks of others about the counties j cl r which luck an arch, we desire to ask, if the IP' buildiDgol an arch is a condition precedent!^ to onr welcome to the city? We presume J r that our people desire to participate in many ! ^ P of the festivities and pleasures of that occa- j ^ sion, but if we are any the less welcome be_ ; gi cause we fall to see the importance of build-' j ing an arch, we would like to know it. Abbe- J g| 2? vilie is ready aud will join heartily in the I tc celebration, but if her presence is lobe con- i : sidered any the less desirable because of our 1t| failure to build an arch, we should know the 1 si fact. J ^ We should be glad to have our people join w Uleir brethren in a centennial where all oi f should be harmony and good feeling. If our welcome to the city Is to be measured p; i>y the heignth or breadth or the number of t< our arches, we hope that our respected con.: e! temporaries at the capitol will say so at once., t, I Knllrond Meeting. j {J I According to advertisemeat, some of the j u friends of the Cumberland Gap road met in the court house last Friday night. We made ' oi J1 effort to get the Tacts in reiereuce iu iuc y kHinatter, but beyond the fact that a committee ' [L appointed to rind out what was expected ; ai of u?, or to elicit some definite Information, | sV':; we learned but little. j n. We really don't know what was done. At; it any rate there seems certainly to be but little for the public eye. The object of the meeting is not clear to A our mind, us for instance, we learn that dele- t gates irom Anderson and .15elton were here? their Interest being diametrically opposite. We do not know that Mr. Potts has now (,< if- -r.ny more money or any more idea oi build-j ing the road to Abbeville, than he had years! ago. We do not understand how he coquets with si Uroenwoed while seeking Abbeville's bonds.' n > The fact is, we don't know anything about ja - it, and If there is or ever has been anything ; tl In the proposition to build the road, we have I ^ not Ibnnd It out. j p We have so often had our hopes raised, and ; o have been so often disappointed, that, besides; ^ knowing nothing, we believe holhing, except ! tl that Mr. Potts would like for Abbeville to Is- j n ? sue her bonds. We believe that. |b Vor some reasons, we don't care if they are j n issued. Their issue will most probably ylndl- I 1 - " * - ? i i n..

We have received but little lnfor- v uiatlot). except as it may have been Altered ^ out to us throngh the proper channels, and in ; 0 properly gauged doses. | fi It will thus be seen that what we don't jj * know of t he Cumberlaud Gap wonld about All - a big book. t i11 I . Abbeville Seem* t?> He on the Read j r- lo Prosperity. . o u The trade of the merchants of this town is c unprecedented. f< Every day last week our public square was j crowded with vehicles arid atnmais, hiiu t-v- : r ery store was full of customers. Some stores t had to employ additional clerks. We hear that one of the largest firms In town sold.more goods last Saturday than they l had oversold in one day before. j; This good result has come about In the le. v gltimate way of keeping first class goods and 'J then always giving a dollar's worth for a dol. v 'r 'ar. I We have often said that Abbeville had as ! good merchants as there is in South Carolina j and we have always contended that the peo- a pie would find It out after awhile. .r The trade of the country seems to be uuder- j t going ft change. jJ The cash trade at this season has usually! been very tmali, but now the farmers are ] payiog cash, and get the best of bargains. 1 The banks have let out all their money, and I stlU the demand Is for much more. The cap- i Ital stock will have to be Increased this com-. 1 Ing winter if they would supply the demand J ' for money next yeur. ji i M The Columbia t'eiilenninl. i< An we returned from Georgetown last week, j J we stopped over awhile in Columbia. ! i Great preparations are being made to cele.!' brate the hundreuth anniversary of the first meetlugof tbe General Amenably in that city. |' ?

Hie annual meeting of the Kouth Carolina ate Press Association was held this year in e city of Georgetown, May 20th, and May ? lb. A committee met the members on the rail- o ad at Lane's, on Tuesday night, some forty iles distant from Georgetown, and gave to " I a nearly greeting. , Arriving nt Georgetown between nine and j n o'clock at night, citizens with vehicles, I h et us at the depot, where members of the I ess Association were Invited to different )spitable homes In the old historic city, P bich even in the Colonial days was famous the home of the scholar, the birthplace of o e gentleman, and the training school of the b ue Carolinian. J ti After being hurried along the different rail-' li ads for about eight hours since passing an! ting house, it 18 not difficult to imagine that j e dusty, tired and hungry waj fttrers were I ad to be comfortably seated at. bountiful J j bles In hospitable homes. j K On Wednesday morning flyiug flags were j j latlng from every shaft, and beautiful bunt- Bl g ornamented every parapet and graced j ^ ery door and window on the public streets. \ Ihe whole city presented a holiday appear- j)( ice, and every heart seemed ready tt> Join L ith one accord In celebrating an event j j. bich will be forever memorable in history I 0 theold;town. j f, Fbe occasion of all this decoration and j ilendld preparation nt home, in the hulls r, id on Ihe streets was the unveiling of the ( mitiful monument, which had been erected the bands of lovely woman in honor of the n tlor and heroism of the Confederate soldiers ho succumbed to the privations and hard- ?j ips of the tented field,or who had, amid the ~ lock and storm of battle, become a willing n crlflce lor home and country. t Georgetown is the home of Company A, ^ snth South Carolina Itepiment of Voluu- j, era in the Confederate Anuy, and this mon- c nent is intended especially tocommemo- j te the services of that company, which, in a ie Western Army, did good and valient ser- a ce to the cause of Souiuom Rights, and ad- j ;d a full share of laurels to the brow of the infederate Soldier. j i The unveiling took place on Thursday at a reive o'clock. Various military companies f ere present, in their different organizations, jd a vast concourse of unorganized specta-1 j; rs surrounded the speaker's stand. Citizen I, id soldier, matron and maiden. all came to e ) honor to the hlstoi ic dead, and to listen to j 0 m n ravers aud sDeeches of those who acted a | r tri in the ceremonies which must live for-1 _ .'er In tradition and history. . The animation and enthusiasm which laructerlzed the occasion is not often wit?ssed, and while we would not exalt any one icldent or sceue above another, yet an old tidier may be pardoned if he speafes of the survivors" and the tattered Hag under htch so many comrades went down to 1 ?ath. The "survivors" were not a great iiiltitude, but they were a small company of ?terans, upou each one of whom Time had . nseled bis lurrowR, and otherwise J: minted them out as brethren who are now a anding as sentinels on the fur outposts ? [Time. The staff which held Ihe old battle flag, ittt was almost iu shreds and ready to fall , i pieces, was borne by an old veteraD. who |1 >ok his scut on the stand with other invited t jests. The Palmetto flag, bearing date 1859, was i Iso present, and it. like the battle flag, was a j ift to the soldiers from the ludies of the I WD. A matron of to-day said that she was i little girl at the time, and witnessed] te presentation of that battle flag,and at the j ght of the old flag, thoughts of Ihe pa6t Med her heart, while tears tilled her eyes. \ It is not for us to describe the emotions; hich must suggest themselves to all, but for; ue who marched side by side with these sollere under the 6atne officers, and who was i resent in some of the tiresome inarcnes, ?uu | artlclpated insome of the struggles aud vU--j >ries of Company A, it was a most inter-, sting and impressive occasion. The surrouudinsjs were such an to j ring the greatest honor upon those hose patriotism and love had bid us j >me, and whose untiring effort*, and whose j abounded hospitality had marshaled the nnumbered multitude. Rev. W. T. Capers said the prayer, and his rother, Itev. Ellison Capers, delivered the ration. Eight young ladles unveiled the < louument, one of whom was Miss-Mary i [anigault, the charming daughter of the be-1 >ved commander, who but recently went to ii honored grdfre. The unveiling ceremonies and the incidents mnected therewith are lull of iuterest to the | eople of Georgetown, and were not without l ilerest to any who witnessed them. NNUAL MEETING OF THE BRETHREN OF THE FOURTH ESTATE. leorgetown Cilve* a ICoyal Welcome i ami KntertaiiiN tlient in Prlncely nannor. The sessions of the Press Association were liort and without special interest to our: saders. For this reason wc will not inflict a ! ?hash of the routine work of electing omcers, i ppointing committees and adopting exhaus-: ive resolutions of thanks to everybody. Owing 10 the lute arrival of our President, 1 olonet M. B. Mc.Sweeny, no meeting of the j ress Association wus held until about six j 'clock Wednesday ulternoon on board the \ I o;it. An excursion dowu the river had been I rraiigjd lor three o'clock. The President I ot arriving until nearly two o'clock, It was i nnounced that the members would go to the i oat?the Planter?as soon as they had dined, j At half past three o'clock, editors and other j ivlted guests were aboard the " Planter." 'he engine's whistle and the tinkling bell < ere beard. The soul-stlrring strains of a plendid band filled the air. The gaily < ressed steamer moved oft", and the handkerhlefs and the banners of those rho stood in crowded windows in lie houses along our route waved a "God < less you,'- to those of us who ' went down to lie *ea in ships." We went to the point or ' iiidlng, about half mile beyond the light oiise. The captain announced that the boat ? /ould return in one hour from that time, or tsix o'clock. Nearly everybody went oui ar a walk on the beach. We lacked a little f going to the bar, and after a most, delictual trip, we landed at our starting point wltbut realizing anything of the symptoms of ea sickness. Heachlng the city about dark, we had only * ime to get ready to meet in the Indigo Hall to I icar an address from Colonel Hoy t, of the Bap- i 1st Courier, on " Journalism of the Pastand ( he Present." The hall was packed with la- l lies and gentlemen who came to hear < ur distinguished speaker. In the lanigage of another, ? The ugly girls didn't i ome out that nltcht, they were notable or their absence.'' Colonel Hoyt was listened ! o with great interest throughout, and the < 'ress Association afterward ordered the Sec- 1 etary to have his address printed in pam- I ihlet form with the minutes. In the election oi ouicers una :n me nplOinttnenl of committees of the Press Asso- 1 iation new men were put fruward. Mr. i Mi.Price of the Florence Time* was reacted Secreiory, and Mr. Franz Melchers, ditor of a German paper in Charleston, irhose name we cannot spell, was re elected 'reasurer: I'hapilan, ltev. Sidl II. Browne, van also re-elected. i Mr. Wallace, of Newberry, was elected 'resident or the Association. The next meet Inir of tho Slate I'ress Asso- i latlon Is appointed for Anderson. On Thursday morning the Association met ibout ten o'clock, and some little routine natters were attended to. At half past eleven o'clock the Associat ion ook a recess, and went in a body to the uion* iment which was to be unveiled, and there lie entire ceremonies were witnessed, in rotminnv with others, we called at the I >rinting office of the Gooegetown Times. Ed- | tor Donr had hung out his banner upon I vtilch was inscribed words of welcome to tlie j :ditors, and inside the olttce lie gave personal ' insurance of a real journalistic welcome. lie i jas a good otttee for publishing a newspaper, j ind Ib well supplied with the best of presses' tnd the prettiest of job type, which, In the lands of skilfull printers, never tall to please ?n increasing host of customers. On Thursday afternoon we accepted a kind j nvitatlon to dine with Dr. T. I'. Bally, which i occasion was the most pleasant event of our I stay In Georgetown. \\ e met there a son and [ laughter ot our old beloved Brigade Com nander Gen. A. M. Manigault, and discovered that our host was none other than our old j regimental army surgeon. The Doctor and i Mrs. Bailey were very kind to those visitors j who fell into their hands, as well as to all; ivlio made l lie!r acqualulance. The Doctor recited many incidents of thej war. and among the rest, he told of the falal wounding of Captain K. N. Chatham. A?tlic >lder citizens of Abbeville know, Ro'iert ' Chatham was a young man of most brilliant promise at borne, and in the army he was! regarded as the foremost young man In the j 19th Regiment. When about thirty miles' j hove Atlanta, lie received a wound. l)r. Buily was sent for, and he immediately pr.>lounced it fital, and .so told him. In a' ihort time the wounded man felt much bet-j :er. and again sent for Dr, Hailey, stating to! lim his greatly Improved condition, and ask-! ng hlin it he did not see reason to change his ' irst opinion ?s to whether the wound was aj atal one. Jti much sorrow, tire Doctor toid rim he saw no reason to change his opinion. I riie evidences that he had been wounded In a i ital part were not to be doubted, and while j he Hush of battle was still upon his cheek, I nid while the exaltation Incident to theclash | if arms was still present, hehoped aiiainntthe! ool Judgment of the expert, and argued < y gainst the wisdom of the experienced sur?ou. Death claimed lam as his own, when s valiant a folUler as ever went to battle eased bis warfare, Thursday night an elegant banquet was crved, to which editors and others were lulled. The preparation of the supper was perfect, nd the decorations were all that refined asie could suggest or artistic skill could excute. The committee on toasts and the selection if persons to respond, exhibited special tact tia skill In th.; discharge of their delicate luty. Better speeches were never heard. Less ostentat ion was never seen. The language of every speaker was faultess. Not an objectionable word was benrd durdk the whole evening. Such a banquet and such speeches would e an honor to any people. Georgetown Is a city of a superor people.

In a few minutes Mr. Pink Paruellcame up the railroad. My knowing that they were after a negro, I asked him if tuey had got him. He said they had, and that he was down there shut. I asked lilm who It was that shot him. He said that Mr. Cooley shot blm. In about 1 one half hour from that time I started down to see the negro Ed Anderson, and met Mr. Cooley. I asked him If he thought It was a se rfous wound. He said he didn t think It was serious, but that It ought to have killed him. I asked him where the ball hit at; he said it glanced his head. He asked me if I knew where Dr. Henry was, and I passed on. Dr. B. A. Henry, recaucu, o?jn. I have made a thorough examination, and In undoing found a gun shot wound In the right temple, and on probing the wound as hard as I could, 1 thought It ranged a little upward and backward, and upon dissection orihebrainl found two pieces of lead I supriosed to have been a bullet which had lodged n the brain. I first saw him on Mr. Hutchinson's place. Just on the other side of that long trestle. There were six or eight persons there when I saw him. I did not hear any person say that they had done the shooting. Questioned by lurv: 1 have the leau. I did not make as thor. ough an examination when 1 first found Ed as I wouldjhave liked to.

Rarely, if ever, bas this, community been Tailed upon to mourn the deatb of one so fair, iu beloved, and whose prospects In life were nore llattering. The deceased was born January 23, 1874, and lied April iho :Wih 1H91 at 11:30 o'clock P. M., she was just 17 years of age and In one short nonth would have been a fair and happy srlde, but in the providence ot God she was ransported to higher and fuller Joys, that are iternal in the heavens. Her untimely and sad death should be a solium warning to all, teaching us that the 'young,'' as well as the "old," must die. She jad only lived in this community a tew years, fet by her amiable disposition, and gentle nanners, had won a host of friends. Of her t might truthfully besald, "none knew her sut to love her." Her life was pure and spotless, and as such ihe gave 11 back to God. The deceased was a >oung may, or rare tnuKicai Hccoinpn?unents, possessing many virtues of head and aeart, which beautifully adorned her daily life. She Joined the Methodist church early in life, and gave her heart to God; and up to the day of her death, was a consistent memt>er, and hd earnest worker In the Master s irlueyard. She was also a faithful and punctual teacher in the Melhodi?t Sunday School, and although young in years, she exerted uvery energy to bring "little children" to Christ and was never happier than when doing something for Jesus. She was a prominent member of the Methodist choir and her heart and soul were tilled with music which she delighted to chant forth In hymns of sweetest melody to the honor and praise of Him who blessed her with such a talent. Her "vacant chair" draped In white, adorned wlthjoeautlful flower*, and surmounted by a white dove with exteuded wings, were emhumoiln nf ih?t. niirlu of IIlie. iintl reciltude of conduct which she exemplified while on earth. These all speak In mournful silence of her sweet voice now hushed forever on earth, only to begin In heaven where she will join that innumerable host in singing the song of the redeemed throughout eternity. Let all emulate her noble traits of character and like her, "be ready when the Bridegroom comes." The very high esteem In which she was held by the people of Abbeville was partially shown by tbo numberless offerings of beautiful flowers, sweet mementoes of love and affection, and silent tokens of respect. Her funeral services were conducted In Ihe Methodist church on Friday afternoon at5:30 o'clock by Rev. Marlon Dargan. Many of the stores were closed and a large congregation of menus Willi nuu UCAIIO, ailu Itauui c;ci, nasembled to pay their last tribute of respect. As her remains were being taken from the church the choir rendered most touchlngly that beautiful hymn "Sweet bye and bye." The funeral services were concluded at the grave and Just as the departing day wan folded to rent ber body was gently laid In the silent tomb, her spirit having winged its flight to God who gave it. Her family and loved ones bave the sympathy of the entire community, and muy be comforted by the thought that? Loveiy upon the shore Of Jordan's stream she stands, Who gave her life to God, and bor? His witness In her hands." DEATH OF AIISS NELLIE HILL. A Beautiful Young I.ady in Stricken Down as She Eut?r? the Tbretihold of Womanhood. Miss Nellie Hill, one of the prettiest and most accomplished young ladles of the village died last Thursday evening, April .30, 1881. Her death was so sudden and so unexpected that the sad event was a great shock to our people, all of whom loved her, but few of whom knew that she was sick. The news of the distressing event cast a eloom over every heart, and the sympathies of every household went out In tenderness to the bereaved family, from whose home the llL'ht and the sunshine have departed. The pride and glory of a devoted family, her life was a perpetual litany and her presence are unceasing ;benedictlon. Rev. Mr. Dargan, the pastor In charge, conducted the funeral services in the presence of u great multitude, each individual of whom felt sorrow for the deep affliction which the family has experienced. In respect to her memory the business houses of the town were closed during the funeral ceremonies. NOW OR NEVER, Abbeville Should Have an Arch in Columbia---Our Friend* Feara, and the Editor's Wrong: Doing. Greenwood s?. c., May i, 1S90. Editor Press and Banner: Dear Sir?I have engaged a room In Columbia during the Centennial but If Abbeville County In not to be represented I feel like declining lo ko for fear some one will ask from tvlmt countv I came, and I should have to re ply from the county that save birth to Calhoun, McDuflle, Wnrdlaw, Petlgni, lionet and olliorR. When we cease to keep abreast] with other counties theu wc should cease to brag or our ancestry and traditions. I love I the Stntc of South Carolina and Abbeville County Hiid 1 want Abbeville represented a't the Centennial. I think you, my friend, ha?'e done wrong in opposing a small expenditure in erecting an arch for Abbeville. As you are the Kdltor ol the lending paper In the county It is expected (in the absence ol n lender) that you will from time to time take Ihe iniative In such improvements and new enterprises as will elevate our people to a higher plane. Our money, all we have, we owe to our county, lei us then have an arch in Columblaat. the Centennial worthy of Abbeville County, aud call on Greenwood for her shure r>f the cost.

We got one hundred and ten dollars and sev- 1 en subscriptions to the paper. We thought this was doing very well for the small congre- 1 gallon of Mt. Carmel. We found Rev.

Mt. Oarmel hiis a eood academy of i% pupils. Revs. Patterson and Gains and Miss Covin have charge of It. Tney are do lnga good work for the community. Our stay In Ml. Carmel was most pleasant.

Will Abbeville get the new railroad ? Certainly It Is Important that a he should. In tbe first place It will enhance the value of her properly. That this will be tbe case hardly admits of doubt. The argument was advanced when the G., C. & N. was advocated. Before tbat road was constructed, property had depreciated in value. Since Its completion the value of property both in and around the town has been enhanced. New buildings have been constructed and others are under contract. If Abbeville obtains tbe new railroad, sbe will have fine railroad facllittra. Indeed no place In the upper part of tbe State, udIpss It Is Greenville, will rival her in that respect. This fact will become known and will attract tbe attention of capitalists from abroad. New people will come here to live and will bring with them tbelr money. Those who have houses 10 rent will And people wanting them. Those who have lots to sell will find them In demand. Everything 'will tend lo raise me value or property. If a man owna a boose, even though he may not wish to sell, tbe road will greatly benefit blm. His estate will be worth Just as mucb more as tbe value of bis property is enobanced. lu the second place a new road will infuse more enterprise Into our people. Nothing helps more to build np a place tnan tbe confidence of its own people In Its success. Tbls to u great degree has built up Atlanta. Her people believe In their city and do everything they can lo push her forward. And Just so it will be wltb Abbeville. If we get the new road, our people will be Inspired wltb confidence. New industries will spring up, manufactories will be built, our educational facilities will be advanced, and our churches will be benefited. Again new fields for labor will be opened up. Our young men, instead of going abroad lo seek employment, will be needed at borne and their energies and talents will assist in the development of our town. Every line ol business will be Improved. Our merchants will find their business Increased, our newsoarcrs will have a larger subscription list nod new advertisements. Our schools will have more pupils, and Indeed every department ol life will be proportionately advanced. Can we get the road? Well, U should not be out fault, if we fail. We should do everything we can to obtain it. In the first clace, we should all work together. Unanmlty in sentiment and action Is all-Important. We should leave no stone unturned to obtain It. Our psople should concentrate thvlr efforts and determine, If possible, to secure it. Abbeville staDds high In the State. Her people have always been noted for their conservatism, public-spirit, and general intelligence, she Is sustained by a fine county population and a good territory. Let her young business men come to the front and let her take the lead in progress and enterprise. M. Old Cliestnata. "We should all work together. Unnlmlty in sentiment and action is all-Important. Extract from the letter of "M." It seems to us that we have heard something like this before. It is generally used in a futile attempt to allay opposition to the project of levying a big debt on Ihe property and business Interests of this town, for no better purpose than that of giving aid to the construction of a railroad which would be oj doubtful value If built, and which has disappointed the public at every turn. Tbls newspaper bas never thought the bonding of this town to build a railroad to Edgefield was a good Investment. Our chief objection is, however, to endangering our interests for the benefit of strangers, of whom we know very little, and who have never met our people face to face, and have, with singular consistency, evaded the binding of themselves to do anything. This town, therefore, can never be of one mind as long as there Is a sentiment here which favors the "giving of ourselves away " lO BUUIJgCJB W1JU UU1C, on ini 4 formed, never promised to do anything, and as fur as we believe, never Intend to do anything.
