Kditor Press and Banner: The wheat and oats have been harveste and the yield better thnu lor several yean The farmers are pushing, and as busy as poss ble for tneu to be. stirring old mother cart about corn and cotton and killing grn*-s. have never seen men more ut'ifrmiuru mu their full duty, and If there is a failure < f crops it will be for want of lain and not f<i want of proper cultivation. Our people hav learned to work crops faster and easier tha formerly. Of course improved tools help, till tbey have learned to take advantage ol sei 80'is, Ac. It is plain to every one that ou people are getting better oil'every year, an we hope before many years a mortgage on farm will bean exception. Crops here are not as good as usual forth latter part of June, tieiug much later an smaller, especially th? red stiff places do n<i seem to grow at all. In sandy smooth lan lh>? crops are growing nicely, and rain is ver much needed. The gardens aresurtering bat Jy. THE KUCfS IS COLUMBIA. Well, I hope you will pardon me If I talk little politics as it seems to be part of ma these days. I am sorry Governor KUerbe ha auything to do with the little militia troubl ut the South Carolina College grounds, as n good could come out of it to the people, am such things always add cost to the a ready overtaxed people. The cry is a dellt iency in the State treasury, and every oflice from Governor down should sec that th uirinta^t ui'nnnmv is nranticed in every dt partment. The city authorities of Columbl had the right to see that every citizen was 01 derly and should have seen to It In this cast There should have been no conlllct betweei the students and the militia, all will admit But after this blunder, why make anothe mistake by adding cost ? Every man had hi opinion before any investigation, and I d not suppose any were changed by the repori SKVKKINt; THE TIES. Since my last article in your paper gram old Abbeville County has been dissolved am Greenwood County sprung into existence, trust that before another generation Is bori that the old county will continue to bull* cotton mills and other industries, and add ti tier taxable value, and that seveu million will again be found on the Auditor's book* 1 believe that one generation will besutticien time lor Greenwood County to realize tba her taxable value will be equal to that c the old county iu tier former state. The moth er and child should go hand in hand, eacl asking the blessings of heaven on the other COUNTY SUPERVISOR LYON A FAITHFUL AN1 CONSCIENTIOUS OFFICER. Judging from what I saw at the last sessioi of tbe Legislature I believe that each count; *..1 ii *r.r>,s huvo in nu'ii povernment. It wh iny earnest desire that the county govern meat law tibould be let alone and given > fair trial, and then so amended as to meet tbi demands, and thatoue law should govern tin wnole state. Such should have been the cast but some counties were left out. If local law are to fill our statute books, the Legislatur and judges and others will have enough to <J< to know the laws of our state. I worked 01 the county board of Abbeville for two yearn I tried to do ray duty as I saw things. Tlx board was composed of as good men as tin county had. I lound every man on It a gen tleman and fully awaroof the responsible du ties be had to perform, and every man dl< his best for the county. The Supervisor 1st conscientious officer, and is economical an< safe, and does his best. A DIG AT CHARLESTON?WHISKEY AND NEGROES. One more matter and I will close this letter This state is especially interested in cottot mills at this time, and here goes Charleston as usual, not airing for the state, employioj . negro labor in her mill. Better let the doon of that mill stay closed forever than to ruli 51 our larro labor. The negro Is satisfied on tin K farm and suits better' there than anywheri -?.i i. HUnirhliiu nnlmilv nnil his alien CISC, auu Jo umu>..uh ? ? tlon should not be diverted Irom the farm The people should bless Charleston out foi sucft a dangerous experiment. It looks lik< Charleston wants money and will have it oj any means whatever?sell whiskey, wort negroes in a cotton mill, or just any way s< she gets money. Kespeeuully. Henry J. Kinard.

Magistrate Lever held an inquest, the Jur; returning a verdict that the ne^ro was kiliei by Mr. LaBorde and that it was a case <i Justifiable homicide. On Just what groum thejury Justified the killing is not stated. Si far as knowD, there was no attempt at resist ance?the negro simply fled when he saw th officer of the law.

Slmms went Into Bell's store yesterday and during his visit be and Sitnms had a quarre I. Later in the dav Bell entered Slmms's stora. ,v. carrying a pistol and delaring that he would ne kill Simms, who happened to he out. in. This morning Bell was passing Slmms's placeof business. Simms stepped out with a double-barreled shoteun and opened firern Bell as he ran. The first shot mlBsed, but the second struck Bell in his arm and fatal y wouuded the negro, who poked his het.d around the corner of Reed's bar to ascertain the trouble. Bell'stumbled and fell, but, qaickly recovering, ran Into the bar for uff safety. he Simms drew a nlstol, but was seized by . Marshal Joseph Harris. Both parties were sm arreRted. Bell was released on 8500 bond to keep the peace and Simms was put under SI ,000 bond to appear before the superior ? court.?Atlanta Constitution. Macon, Ga., Jane 2Cth, 1897. Editor Press and Banner: I send you herewith a cllpoltig?an account or the shooting of W. S. Bell, (our Bell, for[jj merly of Greenwood.) To his friends out ? there, It.mlRht appear that he bad gone to drinking again, x think this a mistake. 1 ? was In his store at Covington the day before ii0 the shooting. He was perfectly sober, talked freelv with me about his suoces?which I jv know from other sources has been phenome[jf nal?and said he bad not tasted liquor since u. he left South Carolina, and I bad uo reason to doubt what he said. I know nothing more of the unfortunate affair than appears In the Constitution. The Covington people with whom I have talked spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Bell. \ ours, <kc., at A. J. Sproles. Watch-Milker. _ In another column you will find Mr. Bernau's new advertisement. He wants jour watch repairing. We believe Mr. Bernau is 1 one of the best watchmakers in the State, and [a watcb-factory people seem to know this. Not ] long ago the oldest watch factory In the United States sent him a letter, asking him to give his opinion, whether a certain grade of their movements could be safely allowed in the time service department of any Rallwuy t Company or not. Another largo company 31 sent him a new model movement they Just 97 had completed, with the following remarks : MWa onnH ttaii t a. Hon ovnpooo /tltorooo ni'O. paid, one of our new thin model 16 size movements. Kindly let. us have your opinion and criticism of It." Above must show that Mr. Bernau mufit know hlu business. No company could waste their money lor opinions and criticisms that are not worth a cent. If you have an v watch repairing to be _ done, Mr. Bernau will do It In a workmeny like manner, and at reasonable prices. 0 Aiken d Ellis Locals. j.
