NINETY-SIX ITEMS. I Xi'tt ('of ton wllicli llrinsfs T On!*--! Campaign Day?An Omission. Ninety-Six, s. Aug. 17, lS'Jii. Nothing gives us more pleasure than to re-! cord the fin< seasons that we are having ev I ery week. Tlie crops are just as good as we ' could ?xpect. With no disasters and a fair! price our people will realize good profits Irom j the year's work. The late eorn. that is, which ! was'p'anted In May and .lune is exceptional-' ly tine. We will have "hoi: and hominy" at! all events. Corn has not sold lor over .V> rents I the past year, and we still look for lower prices another year. The farmers are getting! their mooring machines ready for the big hay ' crops, peas, etc. J tie on mill wim us new i nins anil improved machinery has already commenced tinning, and lias turned out Mime beautiful samples o! cotton. Several new bales were sold here on last Saturday and brought about 7 cents, vhou'd these| prices hold up the "Old star Fort" country j will.be happy. l'rof. J. 0. Cork has shaken the dust of Xinety-SIx from his sandals and will take up his abode In' tiennettsville. lie has been elected principal ot the giJldeil school at that | place. We were sorry to give him up, and congratulate Iiennettsville in securing bis services, for there is no better teacher in the State. The ltev. Mr. Jacobs closed his meeting! rather unexpectedly on last Wednesday on account of a sicl; family. Campaign day hereon the lltli instant was n very quiet one. Col. Latimer was her with the candidates for county offices. lie made a good speech, and convinced many of bis hearers that be should be returned to Congress. We were sorry thai the ot her candidates for Congress were not on timid. The candidates for the Legislature all made speeches, some good speeches mid some i?'t ter. We think l)r. Hawthorne miner nas me advantage In point of oratory, our greatest objection to hi in is his opposition to what he terms it "Dude Factory." It don't win the doctor many votes. Another thing we noticed some of the candidates was disposed to jump on ('apt. Lyon. This we think is all wrong. ('apt. Lyon is doing his best to execute ttie law, and if the law is a bad one, as we think It is, Capt. Lyoa should not he made the scape-goat. Every time Capt. Lyon is abused It will get him votes, at any rate that is the view our people take of it. We are glad to see party lines ignored, too. our folks are going to vote for the best men regardless of past party atllliations. This Is the lime to vote, and men who hold to party and vote for inferior men are cowards, and should ?2^ not be allowed to vote. Why? Becuuse in r voting for such men they disregard puone interests and the welfare of our government. Our motto is to vote for the best men, lor in so doing we serve our county and State best. Quite a number of our citizens took advantage of the cheap rates offered by the excursion train last week and visited Asheville. All were well pleased with their treatment in the "City of the Skies," and will go again when opportunity oilers. Miss Etta Blake, one of Greenwood's most charming daughters, is spending a lew days with her sister, Mrs. R. It. Calhoun. Indeed, Mr. Kditor, you must excuse me. We had a fine game of base ball here last, week, and I really neglected to report it. I hope the editor and the respective nines will forgive me this time. Mixing around among tlie campaigners and voters last Tuesday we noticed our old friend, John It. Bullock. He is one of the best ol citizens and a Christian gentleman. Could we sav more ? While at Abbeville recently we enjoyed the hospitalities of another old friend, Mr. Z. G. Sprott. He and his good wife placed us under lastiug obligations by their kind treatment. Mrs. A. S. Osborne and two little sous, Wallace and Kred, have none to Prosperity to visit Mrs. Kellers and other friends. Grand Vice Chancellor Hayward, of Walterboro. delivered an interesting address here on last Wednesday night on I'ytheanlsm. It was a free lecture, and was very much enjoyed by those who were fortunate enough to hear him. The lodge here is a large one and is in a most prosperous condition. Mr. Arthur, of Union, is visiting his sister, Mrs. W.S. Sanders. Mrs. J. F. Powers has returned from the mountains. Mrs. J. C. Stanley, of Columbia, is here for a few days with her daughter, Mrs. L>r. W. II. Holland. The Rev. J. C. Stoll preached yesterday in the Methodist church, and will continue the meeting for several days duriug this week. Mayor Sloan, of Columbia, paid a snori visit to tiis brother, l>r. H. N. Sloan, last week. The many friends of the Hon. T. A. Graham were sorry he failed to be hereon tlielltli instant. Many inquiries were made alter liitn.

I'riuce candidate lor Solicitor, took Mr. Gray don's place on account of the absence of Mr. Gray don, he being detained on account of a sick child. Hawthorne and Speer were each allowed twelve minutes, which was fully taken up. There were other speeches made during the evening, but we were not present and can give no account of them. Everything passed otr pleasantly, and nothiu;; happened to mar the very pleasant occasion for candidates and people alike. All the candidates acquitted themselves nicely and all made some votes. For the past two years the stores in Due West have been systematically burglarized, and all efforts to detect the guilty parties failed uutil Friday night, hem Henry, George i'ressley, and probably others entered the store house of Mr. U. O. Pratt, by breaking in the front door. About twenty-five dollars worth of goods of various kinds were stolen. The evidence against Henry aud Pressley was conclusive. Pressley was sent up to await the October court, while Henry sent himself up?to parts unknown?and Magistrate Hollinijsworth is out a lock and chain.

Jsn;. ! To the lvlitorof the IMess xntl l.anner, ? On open ins; this week's issure of your paper 1 read earelully your remarks on the pro-! posed land deal near Calhoun Kill Is, S. C. I also note your crilielsm cl my conduct in j the matter. Alter reading what I have to say I think I that you will conio to the conclusion that I! am not at all in fault in this matter. The land ileal is oi considerable importance to I tin- parties interested as well as to the County I of Abbeville and especially to the township I /v of Magnolia. Ill I ilid write yon asking that nothing bo said II in tiie I'ressand Banner about the mattcras it v might Interfere with our arrangements, and I 1 stated at. the same time that I would see that it appeared in the l'ress and Banner at the a me time that It did in the Atlanta papers. I had a conversation with Mr. T. K. Morton, managing editor, about that time and requested him that nothing be said about d in his paper for the sam? reasons that I gave you and he promised that it should not. appear until I gave him the notice. .Mr. Cabaniss heard of the facts and saw Mr. ilartman and had a conversation with him UIMIIU, || . .Mr. 11 art man informs mi* that at the time ol the conversation ho also requested .Mr. Calmniss to say nothing al)out the matter and T when it appeared next day in tlie Atlanta Journal no one was more greatly suprisFS tli-in Mr. Ilnriinaii and myself were from the simple fact that tlie men who are putting their money in this enterprise did not wish to make any blowaboul the (leal until every- 1 tiling was in ship-shape and they felt that na they could show their intentions by their fri works. cl? Jt was not in any way my fault that the ev matter got into the paper here as I was lit- ev terly ignorant of the intention of the paper to to publish it, and would have preferred that it 0,1 should have been in a more definite and A" business like form. Kver since 1 saw the ar- c'( tiele I have intended to write to you and ex* plain, but 1 have been expecting since last an Friday to go over to Abbeville and to explain nP it in person and give you the particulars. ?'j Writing from hearsay without intending to do anybody an injustice you have missed the ' 1 mark considerably and I herewith give you the real facts. First, 1 liave never been employed as at* **_ torney for the syndicate who bought the land cli and propose establishing a colony at Hart* P" man. I have no legal connection with the J'a parties whatever. '(M For the last two years and a half I have J" been advertising southern farm lauds for Rale, especially those In Magnolia township, Ab- #'s; i>i-viiia county, and at tiliferent times;have curried a good many people over there for the |*v purpose of showing them these lands. I liave made many trips over to Calhoun Falls for this purpose in a quiet way, telling no one of , , my intentions or what I expected to do and . nothing definite was knowu until within the pa?t two weeks. 1 The first tract of land that we sold was the . Norwood place. It is a hona fide sale on a sa basis of cash payments. You state that the ' f txcbange was made for certain Atlanta pro- c" perty ; this was declined and an outright bale if tlie premises made. The suit tor partition filed Is a suit for the purpose ol perfecting titles. There is no deficiency in the titles to ths property of any description willi the exception ot a slight oversight in the court of prohate which is easily remedied. This whole transaction has passed _ through my hands and i am representing the land owners in Magnolia and not the syndicate. I have no interest in the syndicate whatever,other than selling them the land on which I have obtained options. Personally, 1 have made it raj' business to look after the Interest of the parties to whom the land belongs. ' v..i-i ?-t.ii timw t bat. under ordinary circum stances lands In thatsection sell for very lit He, and it has bean through my efforts thai 1 they were able to obtain u fair price for their farm lands. n This matter is no fake and the Atlanta men Ji back of it have money and they have parti?* outside who are interested with them that tin ve money. i I consider this the best opportunity that the FJ people of Magnolia township will ever have to sell, even if they have to give options on their lands. The amount of land that they propose to purchase is 20.000 at SS.oo per acre which would would amount to SltW.iKX), a large sum of money to be iuvestel in one body of land and ? it is not reasonable to suppose that these men would plank down that money in one lump lor the lands. Their position is tills; they porpose to aid tlie land owners in disposing of ihe land at a reasonable price, not only a reasonable but a lair price. i) None of the land so tar purchased, if put up and koIiI In Abbeville, would brlnt; more than 0.00 or SC.00 per acre. It seems to me that ttie !and owners should be willing to place their lands in my hands lor the space oi twelve months in order to double their price, almost. I'ha? is what, the option means to the land owners and nothing more. There will be no i rouble about taking up the options held by it ine within twelve months and perhaps sooner H the alms of the company are carried out as ai they intend to have them carried out. Ot course I represent the plaintiffs ir the suit for partition of the Norwood estate and it would not become me as their attorney to say anything about the matter. _ I will say briefly that the company expects to expend on the land about $10,000 In improvements, and beinir business men, they ? >vuuld not put that amount into an enter- I prise unless thev meant business and intend- l ed to carry out their contract to the last I letter. 5 The company as organized proposes to settie up these lands in 40 or 50 acre tracts or more if the parties desire. They propose, not to sell these lands to paupers but to well to do farmers who have money and who are experts in thesugar beet culture. .Mr. Hartinan, for whom the new town will fl ie named, leaves in a few days for Germany for the purpose of bringing over a lotol su?ar beet experts who. It is expected, will reach here about the first oi October. lie does not no over for the purpose of securing these in en , as lie has already made arrangements with them to come. He is simply going over to | perfect these arrangements ami also to make -i nrransemeuts for the importation'of a la rue 1 number of sugar beet tarmers at an early date. In addition to this tlie company ex- SF pects a ureal many immigrants from thenorth n and northwest to settle up this section of the ? country where there are now so few white men. ftt If the laud owners around the Norwood es- , tate will aid the company in this, they will h< make money out of it by the fact that it will enable them to get twice as much for their land as they can now get. I have tried to "T show them that it is to their interest to join *with us In obtaining options. This is done for the protection of both parties. I have to at say to these men to whom I am 10 sell these Ir lands that I can let you have so much land at jfj a specified price and they will then ask to see my authority for making that oiler. As you well know all contracts in regard the sale ol real estate must be in writing. If I were to go over there and ask Mr. A. to sell me his land at SS.UO per acre and he would agree to let me have ilie land at any time within the next twelve months at that price and the con tract should be only verbal there would be uothliig lo prevent 111111 iroin uacK- _ ing out of the trade. If I should go to him in three months he might then demand a higher price or absolutely reluse to Kell the land to me on any terms. Now in obtaining the option 1 wish to place myself in a position f where I can legally trade with the men in- I ter'-sted in the Harltnan company. I The syndicate has sent no other agent over I there to obtain options. Mr. Woodward who t is with the surveying party has attempted to secure some options which had already been promised to me in my name and for me and not for the company. Not a sale has been made uor an option signed in any other name than my own. \ I do this .as a guarantee to the parties that I , will protect their interests. So careful ol tills , , was I that I will protect their interests. So careful of this was I that I inserted in the ,t option a scausc- allowing the land owners to withdraw the option upon giving me from f hiri v f r> ui vt v u*rilff?n not irp. This lire vents them being hound too closely by the contract and its working to their detriment. The article in the Atlanta .Journal is substantially correct in regard to the factory. *' I am very sorry thai 1 have been forced to ,,, go into ilils matter In detail but your article , ' has made it necessary in order to place myself and the syndicate in a proper light be- T tore the people ot Abbeville county. " 1 wish it to be distinctly understood that I am not, the attorney for the syndicate, and that the syndicate has never sent me to examine the lit'is, and that I represent the land J owners and desire to sell their land. Of course I am not representing them purely for love. In every sale 1 make to the sydleatc I am paid a commission by tlie land owner, not however before the sale is completed, I get nothing tor securing the option. I have obtained there by option or written | agreement which is the same thing,something over 10,Will acres ot land. Persons who have j land to sell and will not take thls;opportuniiy simply ase standing in their own light. Iconic to them again In twenty years. Of course I know thai you did nol mean to do me an injustice on acconnt of the lout; friendship tlmt has always existed between I us. j it is not my fault that this matter appeared iii the Atlanta papers before it did in the l'ress and I'anner as I was in absolute Ignorance of the intention of the Journal to pubI lisli it and 1 intended to hold faithfully to my promise to you and I now express my thanks I to you tor holding the matter upas yon did. The men composing the syndicate being j business men did not desire to have any fuss j made about it until everything was m work-1 ins: order. ) I I have been working at this particular sales' quietly for the last live months and I did hot 'J1 desire to have anything happen to interfere " j with either the uilereots of the syndicate or cf | the land owners. ti I My reason for not writing you before, a? I M j stated alter reading the article in the .lotit n:-1, I was that ever since l'riday I have been ex-1 idling tnjro to Abbeville when I could see u in person. expeeted to leave liere to-dny but fate ms again*! rue.
