The Convention.
The State Democratic Dominating convention
will meet in the Siato Mou.?e in Columbia
to-day at twelve o'clock.
As far as we are informed, nothing of
special interest is likely to ocuir. The old
?t i?? ii,.;ul. will lllcely'
be re-nominated without contest, except for
the office of Attorney-General. (ionera 1 McLaureu
lias been nomiuated for Congress, ami!
of course there Is a break in the line, in so far
asthatolHce is concerned. The contest for
this place will be entered into by General
Townsend, who lias been serving as Assistant
Attorney-General, and Mr. Kenct of Abbeville.
who also desires the oilke.
The Press and Banner lias never liatL- a
glytnpse behind the curtains, aud at this
writing this newspaper is unable to name the
probable lucky man. .
Quite an animated discussion has sprung
up within the last few days as to Uie merits
of the two men. Heretofore the newspaper
editorials have been more favorable to Gen
eral Tow 11 send, but last Saturday two in mc
Register's correspondents made a strong a
showing for Mr. Uenet. In reply, a "Tillman,
iteand Allianceman" had a vigorous article
in the Register on Monday in behalf of -Mr
Townsetid, with a disposition at the same
time, to depreciate the claims ol \V. (.'. Iienet,
Esq.
Our delegates went down yesterday, and I.tGovernor
Gary with them, to attend a meet,
iug of the Executive Committee.
Doomed to DiNappociilmeiit.
Those of our fellow-citizens who are expecting
the Government to furnish an easy way
to pay their debts, or a legal enactment to
nrpveiit the collection of what they honestly
owe and formally contracted to pay, are
doomed to disappointment.
The constitution of the Country would prevent
the Interference with contracts between
citizens, and there is no power on earth
which will make the Government pay the
Individual debts of Its citizens.
The State itself, or the Nation itself, might
repudiate its own debts, but it bus no constitutional
rignt to Interfere with the con.
tracts between citizens. Contracts between
tiiivonc nro in vioinkilo, mid those who do not
Intend to pay what they promise, will be
made to toe the mark.
The Wny to Better Our Condition.
Great hostility Is be Inn manifested by some
people against those neighbors who, by economy
aft J hard Jicks, have accumulated something.
Instead of abusing the thrifty citizen
it would be more profitable if the grumbler
emulated the example of those who are well
otr in this world's goods. Very few men ever
better their condition, except In the hard old
way, namely : by persistent work and strict
economy. If those who arc dissatisfied with
their lot will give more attention to their
shop, their office, their store, or their farm, as
tlie case may oe, ana ims utiniuuu iv? ...
fairs of the State, they will prosper more.
There are always enough politicians to take
care of the commonwealth. It is the private
enterprise that is suflerlng lor want of personal
attention.
A Hiifli Position.
Prof. Win. Hood, lately of Krskine College,
has been elected to a Professorship in the
High Schools at Washington, L). t\, where his
sphere of usefulness will be eularged and his
field of labor will be much greater. He has
gone to the city and has accepted the place,
where he will teach four hundred scholars
and will have a number of assistants in the
different branches. Both the institution to
which ho has gone and Professor Hood are to
be congratulated. For the present Professor
Hood's family will remain in Due West.
Abbeville Calling Buck Her Old
Trade.
Abbeville is paying highest prices lor cotton.
7 cents was bid on cottnn Monday, and
market advancing. Cotton buyers meet the
wagons anxious for the cotton, and 11 sharp
competition prevails. We have eight or ten
cotton buyers.
Cotton seed is In big demand here, and
those selling cotton and cotton seed should
bring them to the place where there is a good

It is now time to row oats. If sown now
while the season is in the ground, it is reasonably

the outs will furnish a relish lor which your j

them up this fall, and then abuse them some I
more. They don't mind it, if it does their
customers any good. The main thine for you
to do is to preserve your credit on their bonks.
Nine chances to one you will want more

fail to get credit next year, uoon cieuu is 01
Importance to the rich, but to the poor good
credit is of vital importance. Good credit is
next to having the money of your own.
Don't forfeit your credit I! you are poor. The
rich might get along without credit, but no
poor man can well exist without the confidence
of his neighbors. A poor man's credit
is his richest estate, and he ought to preserve
it.
Bring your cotton to Abbeville to have it
, ginned. We have three ginneries, with a
dozen gins, and plenty of steam power, ivady
to work on your cotton and pack your bale in
less than half an hour. The highest |?ri?;?- toi
seed will be paid, and the lint will always
command the top of the market.
It will pay to bring cotton to Abbeville for
ten miles." We have every facility lorservmy
the cotton seller. We have quick Kins, plenty
of bagging and ties, and plenty of ready cash
to buy both seed and lint, and then we have
the nicest goods on earth.

The work of putting up the school buiklini;

lo be here next Friday or Saturday,

on the following Monday week.

When t he house is finished a: lent ion will 1

The Trustees have sold twenty-nine bonds
since our last report. Pro!. J. K. I.-e at Inie
West tool; twenty, and Mr. .John A. Harris of
t bis village took a number. Only some iwen- I
ty-two ot the bonds remain unsold, and if i
anybody wants to invest they had better do
so at once.
\s the opening of the school in the new |
building, of which any town might well be |
proud, will not only tie a notable event in the
annals of our educational facilities, but will i
also mark an important event in the history
of the toivn, we propose, if the teachers will'
furnish the list, to publish the full naineof
ev. ry child and teacher who may be present j
at the opening of the school. We trust, thereI
(<?! .? 111 11 tin> ii>iiciu>rs m.'iv furnish us with !
111 I'u 11 iiiiine ol' every child that may be enrolled
<m that day. I'lease give us the lull
tiitnu?not tlie initials.
If it tie practicable to do so, we would b<*
alad to have the nam ex of the children In
their respective classes, together with the
mimes oi' the books which they will study in
class.
It is only oi.ee in a life that a town dedicates
a new building for educational purposes,
and it is meetand proper that we take becoming
notice of the fact. There is a history in
the existence of every building, as well as in
the life id every citizen, l-'or this reason it is
as well to note the origin or beginning of a
public institution, as His to write the birth,
surroundings and future career of t lie citizen.
The time for opening the school has not
been definitely settled, but the presumption
is. that Ihe school will begin next Monday
week, of which, however, definite otlice notice
will be given.
.ViiK'lj-Six Xt'ns.
Ninety-Six. S. C.. Sept. Ill, 1S92.
A splendid rain lias fallen, and the tanners
arc t>u<y with barley, turnips, oats aud rye.
.Some few were so improvident as to have
their pea vine liay caught by the showers.
We hope, however, it will not prove a total
loss.
The last primary passed oil" quietly. Not a
jar to disturb the otherwise pleasant contest.
Our cotton crops are exceedingly short, and
the corn crop not near so good as some people
thought, but we trust there will be enough
made to supply all wants.
TheTillnianites call us Republicans and all
sorts of hard names, but we don't care. We
have honest convictions and are not. ashamed

believe if the Third I'artyites had held aloof
we would have been victorious. The ltepublicuns
had as much right to vote at our primaries
as Tiiird Party men. but we suppose
"it is all right, so long as it Is rluht."
Our merchants are receiving large stocks of
goods and seem determined to ''sell as low as
the lowest." Our cotton buyers too are as always,
giving the highest market price for cotton.
in other words we don't intend to be
undersold or underbid.
Our people'dou't understand why none but
Alliunce men were allowed to bear Mr. I.atlmer.

J. K. Mclntyre, who was wounded about
two weeks auo in a personal dlllieulty wltli
William Means, and lodged in jail the same
day,died in the prison yesterday about midri.,v
h?. wiiK n iiinrrled man. some thirty
five or forty yours of age, and loaves a wife
ami a dependent family of children.
I'p to within a short time ago, lie was section
master on the (i., C. & N. Railway at
Watt's Station, eight miles west of Abbeville
He enine from North Carolina recently, and
but little is known ol him.
William Means, his slayer, is a member of
the Means lamily iu this county. Jle is a
carpenter by trade, and when the shooting
look place be was at work on a house lor
Thomas Ferguson, three and a half miles
from Abbeville on the Warrenton road, lie
was in town at the time o'" Mclntyre's death,
and Slierilf Mann had him In custody ten
minutes later.
Melntyre died in the west corner room of
the Jlrstiloor. Means is in a cell en the same
floor, east side.
The facts and the scene yesterday suggest a j
sermon, hut we will not Inllicl one. It Was
a pitiful sight, and suggested thoughts of sorrow
for the living anil the dead.
Tin* prisoner made this statement:
Melntyre came to the building on which I
was at work last Wednesday week. He was
drinking and talked to Mr. Urown and me
in an insulting manner. lie drew an axe on j
John brown, the man under whom I was
working. I told liim he hud better go away,
lie might get hurt. 1 told him he was cursing
the wrong crowd, and insisted on his get-;
tingofT without any more l'uss. I told he had j
better go away. He then went away, saying
it was all light. He would leave. He came
back with a cun In about fifteen or twenty
minutes. He had It in his hands in a shooting
position, about two steps from the corner
uf the house, where I was working. I run to '
tiie corner of the wall to get behind the
wealherboarding. Just as I got there he shot
one barrel of a double barrel gun, missing me
some three or four inches. A few shot, went
into a lime barrel, just at my feet. I then

was hit in the left leg, and tell. After lie tell
lie cursed me, ami said lie would get mo. 1
expect 1 would have further hurt him, but
Tom Ferguson >iud Alex Graves interfered.
I came right on to town and swore out a
warrant betore Trial Justice Cox, and had
him arrested and inipiisoned the same day of
the shooting.
As soon as I heard that he was dead, I went ;
to the Sherilf That was, I i-uppose, about
twelve o'clock.
