Lre to bp Invltol to Npeak at Abbeville. "I ask not for Lis lineage, I ask uot for his name? II manliness be in his iieart, lie UUOie UUHi lua; wiaiui. Dr. J. Lowrle Wilson nominated Hubert K. Lee, a grandson of Gen. It. K. Lee as a suitable person to elect as our next anniversary orator. Tbe Doctor, like everybody else, is a great admirer of Gen. It. E. Lee, aud as a matter of course a share of that admiration falls to the lot of his descendants. While tbe l'ressand Banner readily seconds Dr. Wilson's motion, we do so for other reasous than the fact that be Is a grandson of Gen. Lee. iVe do so on his own account. As a rule the mention of distinguished Kindred or me caning 01 aiieimuu w n.u.->, trious ancestors Is a certificate of Inferiority I on the part of the person Introduced, and the 1 drawing of companions between the eminent kludred and the unknown debutante must always be embarrassing to true manhood. It Mr. Lee, our next orator, has nothing more to commend him than the fact of his kinship to UeD. Lee, we are sorry for him. It was right to invite him because of his own personal worth, and not because of the valor aud greatness of his grand father. We hope that this Mr. Lee, our next orator, ruay come up to all the requirements, without reference to his kin. Speaking our own convictions, there Is nothing farther from the correct thing than to speak of auother as being the unknown kinsman of some great man. Such au act In fact, Isequivalant to giving a certificate that there Is nothing in tbe stranger, except tbe accident of bis relationship to some well known person. According to our way ol thinking It is well to Introduce a speaker be cause 01 his own merits, and not because of IiIk kinshln. Kespectable kindred Is something for which to be proud, but to have that connection as one's chief claim to respectability, is to certlly to the sniallnesK of the Individual. This newspaper is Inclined to measure up a man according to his own individual worth?not according to the worth of his kin people. THE OLD FOET. Summer Swallows Homeward Come?

The annual meeting of the Abbeville County Confederate .Survivors came ott' last Thurs| day. owing to the rain the plan of having the A meeting In the open of Klugh's l'ark was goc 1 abandoned on the morning of that day.

Urler, the President, called the sec meeting to order. Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson made A a prayer and Adjutant Lyon called the roll. M. of THE SPEAKERS. ^ The speakers were: Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson, Prt Gen. K. It. Hemphill, Dr. J. A. Clifton, Gen. t/?1 M. L. Bonliam. Prt All the speakers received enthusiastic attention, and were frequently interrupted by applause. T THE MONUMENT. the As an incident or side issue, the ladles, ,,:>01 through Doctor Clifton, called attention to their effort to build a monument in honor of Confederate soldiers. Dr. Clifton made an eloquent appeal in support of the efforts which the luriieM were making. The Doctor himself was a gallant soldier In tbe war, and Is now a aD( lover of the best part of creation. His selec- tne Hon to represent the ladles was a good one. y When he hau finished he called upon those tjie present to name the amounts which they jen would give. The following persons signified t|,? their Intention to give tbe amounts opposite a?8 to their names: MOUNMENT 1JU1LDERS. Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson $10 00 Capt.

Clitlon 5 00 tjol The point which we would make aw to the the mouutuent business is, that the Confederate die: soldier having made the history, It Is proper by lor others to do the honors. It appears to us sac that it Is rather an unusual thing toatka bel man to build his own monument. That work sol< is pre-eminently the privilege of the sons and daughters ol Confederate veteranfi. The soldiers made the history, and if others should T note their valor, well and good. But it may be jn a little out of the ordinary to ask veterans, as waj such, to help build the monument. A)t Let no one misunderstand us. We do not waf oppdse the monument. What we do oppose ma is the destruction of our best source of water anc supply, the park well on the public square. tba Preserve that, and we will be glad to ma see those of our fellow-citizens who may have ejej a surplus umouut of cash on baud, invest the same in beautifying our public square. A monument is a good thing, and testifies to C the nobleness of the hearts of those build F them, than to the honor of the dead. Go< S< THE DINNER. ^.11 At about two o'clock the dinner was an- T nounced, when the soldiers marched to the ball, where a good dinner and a cordial greetr ? ing awaited them. A large delegation of our 1 best and pret tiest ladles served the best kind w ol a dinner?one of which every old BOldler J* spoke In terms of highest praise. And thus was ended one of the most pleasaut re-uuions that was eve held. u J.^ ELECTION POSTPONED. J Tuesday, 31st AiikunI, In the l>ay Rta Wh Fixed. lb del The Democratic Executive Committee hav- ,h ing authorized me so to do, I hereby revoke 0e the order of said committee, tixiDg the 6th , of August as the day for the primary to elect a successor to the Hon. T. A. Graham, and ap- lh point Tuesday, the 31st day of August as the < _? day for said primary. In case a second pri- . mary is necessary, the 13th day of September bl is hereby appoiuted for said second primary. This change is made in view of the fact that ^ the .Senatorial campaign party will address the people of Abbeville County on the Oth of August, and In view of the further fact that a primary for Senator has been ordered to be held on the 31st of August, and It is deemed expedient by the committee to dispense with so many elections. The following have been appointed man a ngers for both the Senatorial and Legislative primaries. The managers are as follows: ft bis Abbeville No. 1?J. Frazer Lyon, Jones F. int; Miller, J. A.

They are swded upon our sight all too often, le danger is of our becoming too \ xi J liar with vice, and thus ceasing to shocked by it; yes, even molded by 1 influence. . rhifl nnlv anfp wav is tn keen our- 1 Iv?i8, so far as possible, away from I 1 and the doers of iniquity, except as 4 i may go to them to carry the gospel 4 jssage. "Abstain from all appear- 2 ce of evil," keep out of evil com- 2 nionships, away from the loatiog ! ices of those who serve Satan, away J im every place where impurity and J godliness may be paraded before 4 r eyes. We shall all know enough 4 sin before we leave this world with- 4 t putting ourselves in the way of it, 4 d we may count ourselves happy if, 4 ;er every precaution, we escape its d laminating influence. 2 rhere is a sunny side to almost ! erything in this world. There is a ' nny side to the streets. The sun ' rely fails to shine en one side or the . tier of life's thoroughfares. It is je that in some Eastern cities, as in rious, antique Cairo, the quaint eets are so narrow as to scarce admit en a ribbon of light down past the * 11. . -1 i__ erbanging eaves or me uioseiyDwded houses; and even in some uerican cities the buildings are ting up so loftily on either side of the i ain business streets as to gain for the tter the title of "city canyons." But, . a rule, the sunlight can reach to one le or the other of the world's aveDu- " . If so, it is far more sensible for the destrain to walk in that quarter here the sunbeams fall in most nerous measure. During life's winter ,y nothing is to be gained by courtg the shadows. If God considerately ts fall his cheering messengers of jht down into this cold world we ould be foolish to shiver along in the ,rk when we may "walk in the fht."

The childish notion that everying in life will be made pleasant and ay for one we know is early disproved r painful experience. The clouds squently gather over life's varied idscape. But, one the other hand, jasures mingle with the pain, and srcies mark each stage of the joury. The sunbeams struggle through I e clouds, and even sometimes drive 1 em away altogether. All undiscour- = eel hope sings its cheery song, and idne.ss, like an angel who ha9 indered from some brighter sphere, ngs its willing and frequent way to rth. There is a sunny side to life, e should expect to find it there. We ould lc^ok for it. There is a sunny side even to downjbt sorrow. The sunshine is not in e sorrow itself, but in its meaning, -i message, and its results. There is 1 thing sadder than the lot of those ao through rebelliousness of spirit or oiightless disregard of the purposes trouple experience all the bitterness grief without enjoying any of the iritual rruits or 11. jbul iu iiiuoc wuu 3 wise enough to wrest a blessing for ernselvesout of tbeir own tribulations ere comes in time a sweet consciousss that such trials are after all only aercies" in disguise, leading the mforted and chastened soul to sing. | A. 11 true goodness is a reflection of ( )d in our lives.
