Sale Day In January has always been noted /or a general outpouring of the people from xll sections of the county. Bat this first Sale Day In IS92 is an exception, as the crowd was not large and there seemed to be but few seeking homes, and not many bargains made for the year.

K.Vance was In town last Friday night. making arrangement with Probate Judge for the sale of the personal property ol his deceased wife at Eden Hall, near Troy. 1 It was a sad mission lor him. Hewasgreatly attached to his wile, and in hlsoldage she was a great comfort to him. But since her death, ne has determined to sell the personal property and move to Laurens, where he will , make his future home with his children. The Major will not sell the real estate now, as the persoual property will he more than sufficient to settle the Indebtedness of the estate. His wile left no will, and, under the i law, he inherits one-half, and the remainder will go to other relatives. Major J. K. Vance came from Laurens County, with Judge McGowan In 1836, to attend the Greenwood High School, which was taught by James L. Leslie. After he finished his school and collegiate education, he married Miss Laurens L. Watson. daughter of Dr. Watson of Laurens County, when they settled on his farm near Cokesbury in lfc'14, to whom were born thirteen children, ten of whom lived to be grown, uuu ujiiu oj wnom ure kuii Jiving uneiui lives, and of whom uny parent miitit well be proud.

The other nine chljiren are off In places of honor of usefulness.! In 1851 Major Vance, Judge MJGowan, and Dr J. \V. Hearst were elected t?Jthe Legislature, It being the tirst term for'feach.

I In I8.S2, he married the wilow of his old friend Dr. J. W. Hearst, wholdied recently, and Major Vance Is again a widower. .since the death of Lis wiff he has determined to return to Laurem County, the home of his birth. I He gave to Abbeville thfl fcfst years of his life, and the people on manjff occasions gave the best evidence of their wlgh record for him. f Major Vance was always af conspicuous figure and bis upright course and kindly manner commanded the respecf and friendship of our people. In surrendering him back<|to the land of his blrtb Abbeville gives up aj belored citizen, whose life and conduct pointed him out as a gentleman of the old scbooft Major Vance is now just Altering his seventy-fourth year, being renjirtcably well preserved in health, while hi* heart and mind is as cheerlul and bright as they were forty years ago. Like all old men who bgvo honorable records, Major Vance now Jives much in the past, and it is his pleasure to recount the stirring 6cenes of his early life; but above all, he loves his lineage and is proud of his children, which fact is proven In his pride of kindreds who have goue boforje, and In bis affection for his children. While In Abbeville he made a contract with Mr. Wheeler, the photographer, to enlarge the picture of each of his children, so that he might, as he expressed it, have them once more around him. HERE'S THE ACT ITSELF. Reqnent for nn Interpretation of tbe Antl-EmitfrHtlojB Agent Act. Columbia ^Register. The anti-emigration Act passed at tbe last session of the Legislature has excited considerable interest throughout tbe State. It has very general I j been commended as a step In the right direction. A similar law has been in operation in North Carolina lor some time and has given perfect satisfaction to every body except tbe emigration agents. Yesterday Caj*t. U.: R. Brooks, the chief clerk in the Secretary of Slate's office, received tbe following letter: "Capt. U. R. Brooks. Dear Sir: You will kindly inform me If the Act commonly known as the emigration Act passed both houses of the Legislature, and If so has it been signed by the Utoveruor: also, what is the amount of the license? also, if you have a copy of that Act please send it to me. A friend of mine in Texas wants me to get him a few hands; could I do so without violating that Act ?" I Cspt. Brooks immediately replied that under the Act the frleiid in Texas could not be obliged. I I At tbe last session of the Legislature was passed, with little opposition, an Act to prohibit emigrant agefats from plying their vocation in this State v^hhoutfirst obtaining a license therefor arid for other purposes. Its provisions are as ifoilows: Section 1.

East End. Greenwood,,s. C., Jan. 5,1892. Christmas is over and everybody 1b beginning to lorm plans for the New Year. By the way, this Is leap year, the year for the young ladles to do the courting. A couple from Monroe, N. C? made an attempt to get married here to-day, but failed to do so because of the interference of the young ladles' mother who bad followed tbem on to this point. The last we heard of them the trio had boarded the train bound for Greenville. Mr. H. M.

The manv lrlends of Mrs. Wade K. Cothran will be pained to learn ol her death which occurred at her home near Bradley Sunday. We learn la grippe Is quite prevalent In and near Greenwood. Mr. Joel Burnett commenced teaching the Pine Grove School near Deadfall Monday. Mr. W.L. Durst, president of the Greenwood Cotton Factory, has recently made arrangements to place at an early day machinery in the unfilled portion of the building. Several families have recently moved here and houses are difficult to secure. Notwithstanding the financial embarrassment of the country the value of property at Greenwood has remained at par, and merchants have had a good trade during the past year. The Co-operative Store here, under the management of Mr. J. K. Durst, has been a success. Several hundred farmers living in this portion of the county have bought the dairy Bwing churn manufactured fry Curtice Bros., Louisville, Ky. The churn seems to be complete in every respect. A rather singular accident occurred here one evening last week. The floor of a two story building belonging to Dr. W.B.

Johnson, R. & D. agent at this place has resigned to take the position of train dispatcher on the P. R. & W. C. Railway with headquarters in Augusta. His successor has not yet been appointed. N. 0. Pyles. The Devil's Kindling: Wood. Do you want to know where a boy usually begins to be fast? With a cigarette. It is the lad's first step in bravado resistance of sober morality, and a bold step in disobedionce. Just now take the matter on the scientific side. Tobacco blights a boy's finest powers?wit, muscl6, conscience, will. Nations are legislating against it. Germany, with all her smoke, says: "No tobacco in the schools." It spoils their brains and makes them too small for soldiers. Knock at the doorof the great military institution of France. "No tobacco" is the response. Try West Point and Annapolis. "Dropthe cigarette" is the word. Indeed, smoking boys are not likely to get so far as that. Major Houston, of the MarineCorps, who is in charge of the Washington Navy-yard Barracks, says that one-fifth of all the boys examined are rejected for heart disease, of which ninety-nine cases in one hundred came : ? ? T-T!? iroili UI^aiCllCAi liis 11x^1/ uucouuu io? "Do you smoke?" "No sir'' is the reply invariably. But the record is stamped on the very body of the lad, and out lie goes. Apply for a position in a .bank. If you use tobacco, beer, cards, the bank has no use for you. Business life demands fine brain, steady nerve, firm conscience. Watch' the boys. See one sixteen years in age, twelve in size, twenty in sin, and he smokes?probaly chews and drinks. Babesof seven and eight yearsare at it. The vice increases. I could pile up statistics by the hour?testimony from the highest medical authority?of the misery preparing and already come. The use of cigarettes increases euormously, but only increases the use of stronger tobacco. In August, 1889, 16,000,000 more cigars were made in this country than iu tiae year Deiore, aud the firm that make thia statement credits the increase to the cigarette, and tiie fault to careless parents, j Tobacco is murdering many a lad. Where they do not fairly kill, cigarettes are the devil's kindling wood. ?Christian Staudard, ??mm ??
