r t i i The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE? 8.C. Published every Wednesday at a year in advance. Mr. roswell T. logan, of Charleston, IB not authorized to take advertisements for this newspaper. Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1893. F*vcr ( Auied by Foliated Water. Nearly all the children who attended the school at Hickory Grove during Spring and g early Snmrner are now down with typhoid t fever. The cases of fever are very stubborn, 1 being very hard to treat and improvement very slow. Dr. Winchester says the fever t is doubtless caused by the children drinking t water out of a well in the church grounds. I which la effected by the decomposed human bodies In the cemetery.?Charlotte News. ? Ever since the new railroad has been built, t ' t and the settlement ot that portion or me town H was provable, the Press and Banner has thought of calling the attention of the council to the possible evil effects of the burying grounds in thlstown. The great number of decomposing bodies that are constantly put in the ground will oertalnly endanger the purity of the water in the wells which may be Id close proximity, and even the air itself may be impre grated from the gases which may escape from the graves. Whether there is danger from this cause or not, we believe there is more or less risk in building houses too near and in drinking the water which may drain the contents of the oemeterles. The ShopsWork on the round boose of the G. C. & N. la progressing, and it begins to look lite busi- * ness out there. The contractor lor building , tbesbope.lt 1b understood, will go to worK u ery scon. Id consequence of tbe removal of officers, c and tbe prospective removal of tbe shops to j this place tbere fs a good demand for bouses, f and rente are higher than ever before.; Tbe demand for dwelling houses is on tbe S Western side of tbe town. The Eastern side J will likely receive less benefit, as the demand u for lots and houses Is for persons employed on I tbe G. C. A N. J m e I Notable Event* In One Week. A white woman was assaulted by three , negroes In Lexington County. Tbe negroes were lynched. " A negro man was slain last Friday near tbe , Promised Land, In this County. Three men have been arrested for tbe crime and fears are ( entertained that tbey have been lynched. * This murder was for robbery. A colored man was killed by lightning, near a Cedar Springs pn Sunday. ( Last Friday a young man, near Due West, v In scuffling for tbe posaession of a gun, fatally t shot himself. * i ? t With Hla Bride. J Mr. James S. Perrln come back last week to tbe land of his birth and tbe borne of hi* * cblklbood, bringing with him, as hlB bride, u the fairest and loveliest of her sex. Many relatives and Mends greeted tbe bride and tbe jj groom, and they have tbe good will of all ol oar people. Mr. Perrln fr'Boir a lawyer lu a Tazoo City, Mississippi, and he Is receiving a 8 a good practice. Abbeville's sons always rise s to the top, no matter where they go. ' v \ V 0 ? i, Brother Editor. b We were much pleased to have a call last Q Monday from Rev.

No Quarrel of Oars. Leading reformers are still quarreling. Ir- ** by, James Tillman, Farley and others are keeping up tbe racket, aud outsiders are looking on with lndlflerenoe. It Is no light oj theirs, and they are not taking sides, to any t great extent. The Press and Banner takes so d little interest In the quarrel that we haven't t read more than half of It. t ?? a s Tbe Teaobers Institute has now been In ? session for two daya, and its meetings bave t been most Interesting and instructive. Ev. ery citizen of tbe town ought to attend these g really educational meetings. There is ample v room for all in tbe ball of tbe public school ^ KnlMlns ohm th* mMlInn tskf) nlaofi. It la a matter of regret that we are not able '1 to give full report* of each day's proceedings 1 They are worthy to be preserved In perma- / nent form. * r f. The editor of the Pre ? and Banner Is profoundly gratelul to all those brethren, and { others, who have said pleasant things about t bis election to the Presidency of the State li Press Association. Tb? election, as a test!- jj monlal of goodwill and respect on the part 8 of bis brethren, was very gratifying to blm k who would prefer to hiive the good will of his 'B fellows than to have |:reat riches. The re*. j pect of one's nelgbbort is above prioe, and ^ welgbed in the balance, money Is as trash. t Gentlemen, we thunk you. fi Because of the unusual demand upon our J force for Job work during tbe last few weeks 1 we have been unable to do muoh that we * would have been glad to have done. For instance, we have Bald nothing at all about the meeting of tbe Press Asso- r elation and the great cordiality and hospitality with which tbe Pre?s was treated by tbe local brrtbren and tbe people of Colum- g blagenerally. We never felt as kindly to the capital city, ana never felt mat tbe capital city was friendly to Its country visitors. p t \ Tbe Press and Banner begs the indulgence of correspondents whose articles have been abridged. ^ LOW BATES TO CHICAGO.

Tbe Richmond <t Danville Railroad bas Is- c sued a circular to all Its coupon ageutsaf- e fective July 26tb, making tbe World's Fair rates about five dollars less for tbe round trl p d tban heretofore. This rale will be gratifying F to tbe many patrons ol tbe great system, and as a further evidence that they are always o ri onn Qftuuntaoa r\ t tlio cni-u IntDfiQf mtoU available. Tbe R. & D.

He lived about three b; hours. He was conscious to tbe last, and a said tbat no blame was to attach to the negro, tl It was an accident, and the Jury so declared. 7 . ? ' y Barbecue.
