From the present outlook the wet spell bids fair to be quite us long as the dry one of few u weeks ago. Rain! rain! rain! Is the universal complaint. We can scarcely do anything at all. However the crops are looking very well. Corn Is finer than it has been here In years, especially upland corn. Cotton, too. Is full of young fruit and prospects for a crop are very bright. Some of our farmers think them fluer than they have been since '82. Watermelons are here In plenty at present; but sad to say,there will be no second crop this year. Owing to un excess of rain, the vines are completely at the mercy of the grass, and are consequently unable to put on a second crop as usual. Our town boasts of a very industrious town council. The present one ordered out about a dozen hands during the early part of last week and added much, both to appearance and utility of the streets. One new street was opened up, and will be in a very fine condition In a few days. The members of the council speak Df doing some more work on them at an early Sate. We certainly appreciate their earnest efforts, and look lorward to the time when the town will, by their perseverance, be much improved. Mr. David Aiken and family had quite a number of visitors at the:r home last Wednesday night, among those present were Miss Virginia Aiken, Misses May and Naunle A.lken and Mr. Joe Aiken, of Cokesbury; Mr. [ius Alkeu and his wife of Chester; Mr. Geo. Smith, of Calhoun Falls; Mrs. Simpson and wo daughters, of Atlanta, and Mrs. William Smith and her daughter, Miss Fannie, of Llt,le Rock, Arkansas. They are all gone now jxeept Mr. Gus Aiken and his wife who are still visiting here. Mrs. Sam Agnew and her children of Greenville have bt-en on a visit to her pareuts Mr. uid Mr. J. F. Coleman. She left for her home last Friday. Mr. M. T. Coleman and family of Abbeville lave beeD down on a flvlue trln to see his aarents. His visit was certalDly a very short jue, and we Baw very little of him during his itny. We are always glad to see our young ind extend to them a most hearty welcome whenever they find It convenient to come. ! Mr. J. W. Coleman who has been clerking or his brother at Abbeville since Christmas, returned home Saturday. He will stay with us lulte a while, as he Intends to open up a store ind enter Into business for hltntelf. We wish Urn much success. Nearly all or our young ;nen have gone away from here to do business ind we admire his energy and pluck In stayng. But then, Mr. Editor, I don't know whether we owe him any special tbaukB,as we are or the opinion that there are sneclal ittractlons and peculiar ties that bind him to his place. Here the girl question enters, and L leave It with Jack. Coronaca has only a few young people, but, hongh few they be, they meet right often, md spend some very pleasant evenings together. Among the most pleasant of this mmmer was the one spent at the residence of VIr. and Mrs. W. W. Klugh, July the 25th. Chough to all appearances the night seemed rery unfavorable. We bad an exceptionally arge and Interesting crowd. We noted with ileasure the presence of Misses Annie and Dannie Major, of Greenwood, and also that of Hiss M innle Klugh of the Quarry. Everything vus bright and pleasing within. Everybody leemed lull of Hie and spirits. Our host and lostess were exceedingly pleasaut, and made ;he evening all the more delightful. They keem o take special Interest In the enjoyment of >ur young people, and always welcome us to ,beir home and treat us with the utmost clndness and hospitality. Well situated and degautly fitted up, they offer us peculiar barms, and these are brightened by their rind and friendly bearing toward us.

All except Mr. Graham opposed to new jountles until a constitutional convention is lield. They were a good looking set of men and it Is a pily, Indeed, that tbey are not engaged in a better cause.

On campaign day we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. W.T Mllford.onrefllelentSehool Commissioner. It was his first visit to Ninety-Six, but we hope he will come often in the rulnre. "Haughty Minority" Ih a new name for the Uonservative party, and we are thankful for the name. We have no apologies or concessions to make to the dominant element, but content to pursue the even tenor of our way, knowing full well that ere lone the "Old Ship of State* will be stranded and that redemp Hon oan only come from the "Haughty Minority." We acknowledge that the "bottom rail is on top," but It will not always be so. We have received a copy of the Greenwood Journal. It is by far the best paper ever published In the "Gate City," and we hope that Its owners will bold it intact, so that, in time it can be moved to Ninety-Six (I. e.) when we get the Court House.

And then, the young people of this place and sursounding country bad a similar comibg together on tbe same night on Providence t church grounds. The attendance was large 1 and atl bad a pleasant time. Ice cream was 1 served to all. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Horton have spent the t past few days with the iamlly ol their eon, ' Mr. E. H. Horton. The late heavy rains ' washed the land badly In mauy places, 6 made gullies in the roads, and has given cotton too much growth. Heretofore we Imve been wont to praise our l section because of Its being so peaceful and * quiet, in tbat the colored people bad fewer J luBses among themselves, aud there were not 1 so many difficulties between them and the > whites, but for the past few weeks tbe troub* | les between the darkles have been quite nu > merous. About three weeks since at Calhoun I raws, mean wniHKey uuu me ever reauy jjib tol, were the cause of one colored mau being ' severely wounned ana uiiolber killed. About > the same time the convenient knife came * near causing the death of another in this & place. Then, at Mr. Jas. Harden's, near here, J a terrible tragedy occurred Tuesday. A tew ? days before a young colored man and woman t were married. He had a rival who determiu- ' ed that the happy groom should not long en- 1 Joy the pi Ize that be bad won. He borrowed s a double-barrel shot gun which he heavily 1 charged nnd went to the house of the married c couple, where he arrived shortly after dark, t when he found the man sitting down aud ? the woman in his lap, which he could not I stand. He at once discharged both barrels, which entered their sides. The man soon J died, the woman Is still alive, but in a crltl- ' cal condition. It was at llrst not positively J known who did the shooting, but from threats t made by the above named rival, he was sus- e peeled, and the next day he was arrested, t when he made a full confession, was taken to t Abbeville, and is now boarding with sheriff r Nance. ? Then there have been minor scrimmages > too numerous to mention. Upon those engaged in these last, if as Bill Nye, says they * were, "reproached till they could not ?lt ' down for a week" It might have a wholesome attect, t Let us turn to a more pleasing subject. f Now, whilst the crops are on a boom, every- r where, heard from, only those, very good |j need he mentioned. ? First, we went to the hospitable home of c Mr. Frank Cilakscales, where we were shown 8 In part, hi# crop, aud such a crop, It was 1 pleasing to look at. We saw the best field d of cotton that we ever suw. Then there are * acres upon acres of fine com, which ltlsestl- d mated, will average fifty or sixty bushels to * the acre. The corn seen partly includes the 1 crop of our venerable trleud, his three sons 8 and his son-in-law, Mr. J. H. Bell.

Mr, Mc- J' Calla sowed seven acres of his bottom land b In oats, Irom which he,threshed 223 bushels a ol Hue oats. He also has about 85 acres of P bottom corn that will yield fifty bushels to j* the acre, and tllly of upland that Is as good J us tbe land could make. All of these Irleuds sowed and planted largely of peas whose 1 yield can be better determined later on. c They have a quantity of old corn and home e raised meat to spare.

For I determined not to know anything imoug you, Rave Jesus Christ, and him cruclled.?I Cor. 2:2. Corinth Is dead. Resting on the bosom of ,wo seas and thus being In easy com mun leaIon with ibe neighboring nations?and maleng neighbors of the distant nations?it Is no lurprlse that she should become metropolian, and In a great measure the successful rlfal of Athens. The four winds of heaven iwept Into her lap the wealth of the world. OPPORTUNITY DESPISED. See her chance to rise. Wealth, commerce, irt culture, considerable degree of learning ind ready of access. Her fame spread as the eaves of the ocean rise, suddenly, ranldlv. ind to full height at once. In Crete, In Anloch and Jerusalem, In Phllllpl and In Home, Jorlnth, her wealth, her people and her growng power were e?ery day subjects of renark. The poor turned their faces toward her In he hope of sharing her gold, the rich were ront to visit her under the Impulse of that die curloHlty which so often characterize nen of means. All the world bad beard of Corinth and the iyes of her rivals who were writhing In heir painful Jealousies were fixed upon her, vhlie she proudly marched to glory. But the si-owning graces of this city were pride, idolitry and licentiousness. On these she bullded ind by tbera she was smitten and died. The Corinthians were puffed up greatly besauseof their city's advancement, and boastid loud and long of her orators, her artists ind society. And she might have lived bad he received the preacher whom Qod sent to ler In her utmost need. But only a few exavatlons and seven Doric columns are the emalns ol this far-famed and splendid citysad sepulchral monumentsot departed greats less." A LESSON. Learn from this, friends, that men must tear the word of God and forsake their sins, .'be community or city or nation which urses the preacher and rejects and denies "hrlst shall perish speedily and without remidy. Whenever Abbeville shall close her loors to God's servants and her ears to the reclamation of His gospel, ber towers will rumble, ber palaces fall, ber glory vanish, ter citizens perish and ber name be forgot en. Paul had preached for them a year and a nilf. He found them bard material, Everyblog sounded sweet to tbem except the gospel if peace and goodwill. They regarded maters of religion as none of their business, and reated them that way. They conld listen ong and eagerly to political orations or euoglstlc declamations, and punctuate tbem vith the slncerest applause, but when this uan whose bodily presence they pronounced 'weak'' and whose speech they said was "conemptlble" spoke to them of Jesns, Judgnent, heaven and hell, they stamped tbelr eet, stopped their ears and conteiuptously ihouted "we want no such thing." PAUL TOOK A STAND. And I call your attention first to tbe fact bat Pnul was a whole-souled man. That was ils nature. "Do It or let it alone," was bis notto. Even before he was brought to tbe foot of he cross and made to see bis -Saviour In nilricuIouh revelations, be threw bis whole force nto what he thought was (Joel's service?perlecutlug tbe churcb. And I suppose he laughed heartily and bis rery Hide* shook In manifestation of bingrattlcatlon at the cruel and bloody work ot toning the ilfe out of Stephen, and he felt oyed when the lips that had spoken of salvniloa by blood and tbe new gospel of mercy lttered tbelr last cry and tbe servant of God ;ave up tbe ghost and died. He verily danced n ecMtusy when he saw the declples of Jesus >ersecuted, whipped, bleeding and dying in he keenest agony. "Victory" he made bis nntto,and he would conquor or die. And tow when be bus taken bis siand ou the oth>r side be Is Just as determined as before, and til tbe powers of earth and bell cannot stop ils mouth, drown bis voice or intimidate him n tbe grand mission which be now nnderakes In tbe name of Jesus of Nazareth whom ie before persecuted wltb such terrible vigor, ind dreadful success. All the world could ee that he was an enemy of the cross before. VI1 the world can see that be Is now a servant >f tbe cross. Glorious hour for the cause of be truth where all this great engine of zeal ind eneivv was converted by the Almighty jower of Almighty God ! The world likes a man like that: a man vho wears his badge that we may see wbere le belongs, wbere be holds bis membership, f you are a son of perdition put on your >adge "Sou of Satan." II you belong to tbe !real Christian society wear It thus "Child of Christ." Tbe world wants to see tbe signward that they may be able to flx you. Let >o man bo afraid of his colors. Honor tbe levll enough to confess It, If you are his servant. Be wise enough to lift your banner to the >reeze If you bave taken your stand with esus the NHzarence. In the second place, I would have you noIce the strength of Paul's purpose. He was a nau who weighed things In the balance ol canon, and when once he reached a concluion he pinned to It as a matter of life and leath till new light dawned. He made a resolution or a promise to himself and tiod, and et him about to do what he Intended. And o those people of Corinth who could not unlerstand his wonderful zeal and activity In preadlng this new doctrine, be answered "I letermined it." What is the matter with you, >aul? It seems you have gone wild about his strange religion. Turn your attention to ometbing else." No, says Paul "I have vowd and I will perform It." Let us learn to ;eep our promises, however unimportant hey may seem. What thou vowest, friend, ay It, and tiod will reward your faithfulness, t Is better, says the wise man, that thou houldest not vow than that thou shouldest ow and not pay, and believe It. Do not promise tiod or man that you will ierlorm what you do not Intend; for tiod ;nowsttto be a lie when thou speakest and nan will discover It to bea lie afterward. For line thou wouldest reap distrust with man ,nd disfavor with tiod, and for the time that s coming speedily eternal fire and compauoushlp with demons. Yes, It Is better, much etter, Incalculably better, infinitely better IIU cvonnniiu^ij uvuvi ?.* ?? v?wi j ?w?? w iaid as made in the presence of Him wbo hall, without fall, hriug everything into uiiK'nent. Allow me to give all possible emphasis to lie necessity of tlxedness of purpose. Deterulnation is a talent worth all other talents ombined. A man with one talent of power nd Ibis talent of determination will do more n ilie world for hlR God and his brethren hun he who has nine shining talents of powr without the steam of the other talent?deermination. The man who wills to do will do. and earth nd hell can not keep blm from It, if he be hi.on doing the right. Monutalns and seas and deserts may delay ilm?but they only make his success the nore certain and substantial, and his triumph Dure glorious. Up, young friends, dare for iod and do or die. Upward and onward be by motto, and praise, honor and blessings hall be thy reward, Notice again the specific character ol Paul's I in. The word translated "to know," means D attend to or to make one's business. And lie wise preacher says there are somethings I /lilch will not be made my business. Those lorinthlans were anxions that he should take peclai notice of their political situation and pake iu gushing praise of their glory and enown. "Let us go and bear what tills new abbler has to say," they remarked to each tlier as ttiey passed the streets. And tiiey were sorely disappointed when tiat gospel crank,as they called him, conlued his remarks to the strange and foolish octrine of Jesus Christ and the cross he sufared. And Paul must have been a feebleodled man, and certainly his eloquence did ot move tliem; lor wuen mey weni away hey said "Ills bodily presence was weak and Is speech contemptible." The preacher's uslness Is a narrow business In that It Is sinle; but a broad business In that it oovers all thers. It deals with men of all callings and oudltlons, all classes and grades. Wherever sea live and hope and rejoice, or suffer and Ive and dle.lhIs gospel must come. The man oes not live, ana never will, who can master II the callings or lire. tie must narrow hlmseir down to'his own arden and till it with all his might. This oes not mean that he must take no note oJ he many and beautirul fields that surrounds itu. ir the preacher rails to do this lu so lar is work is a rallure. He must know man as rell as know God, ir he would tell men <?f tieir need or God. He Is not a politician and as no business In politics.

C. EDITOR AULL IN ABBEVILLE, His Xoten and CouimentN on the People and the Place. Newberry Herald and News. liubi ween i uau me pleasure 01 spenamg a couple days In Abbeville. Some thirteen years ago I spent a year Id this old town. It was a pleaxaut year. But many have been the changes that were noticeable. The old school building in which I labored has been torn down and anew and beautiful and modern building occupies the spot. The Presbyterians have built one of the handsomest churches In the State and anew Methodist church has been erected and Just last week the workmen bad commenced to enlarge it. The Associate Reformed Presbyterians nave lately built a beautiful borne of worship. The coming Of the new railroad has pat new life In old Abbeville. Just beie let me say, what I have olten said before, that Newberry needs an awakening on the subject of some new cburch buildings. I do not believe you can 11 nd a town the size ol Newberry In this whole country that has as poor church buildings. It Is not because our people are indifferent to the welfare of their church or because lliey have not the means, but i believe because they need to be made to realize what shabby buildings we have. We need to get'a move on ua in this direction. I met my friends Hemphill and Wilson and [ desire to acknowledge my appreciation of their kindness to me. Their papers are on different lines in politics yet their personal relations are of the friendliest nature. Qen. Hemphill has only young ladleB in his office, lu fact I believe his daughter, Miss Mary Hemphill, runs the paper for him. He has no trouble except to lurnlsh a little editorial. He Is fortunate In having so accomplished a daughter to take charge. My friend Hugh WilBon gets out one of the best weekly papers in the State, but the mistake be has made Is not In taking unto him Keif a helpmeet to share hlu pleasures and to sympathize with him In his troubles. He Is a remarkable man. His only education was obtained In the printing office yet his editorials are always clear and strong, if he does at times get a little wrong In his opinions. We all do that more or less. Just two weeks ago bo read a strong paper before a literary club In which be gave the the preachers some advice on preaching and how to preach, and only last week he read a remarkably good paper on education before the teachers. The Press and Banner Is a rich storehouse of valuable articles relating to the local history of Abbeville County which la Itself rich In resources. When the history of old Abbeville comes to be written, the flies of the Press and Hsnnerwlllbe Invaluable to the historian. They are full of biography, romance and tragedy. There is a fertile field here for some writer who has the patriotism to undertake the task. The trouble is our people do not appreciate this sort of thing sufficiently to make the work profitable. I sat up nearly all night, ao interested did I become In looking over these old flies. ? ?? ? SNAP SHOTS. Preacher*?People?Pretty Women? Boytt Ducking?Piculcs?Politics. Due West, August 6th.

All enjoyed the few pleasant hours spentin roving the woods, i climbing rocks, llshing, playing games, reanIniff stories, and not least, the sumptuous picnic dinner and cool melons. The little ones seemed to be overflowing with delight and when one would come up from creek drip- 1 ping from a misstep and the sad result, it 1 was "nil right," as there were others in "like state."
