The Abbeville Press and banner,! BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1904. ESTABLISHED 1844? LOWNDESVILLE. Sews from the Seven Hill Cily ax Related by an IntereNtiug Writer. Lowndesvlile, Oct 17.1SJ04. Dr. J. D. VVilsoa and Mr. R. J. Hutchison w-nt to Abbeville, Monday on business. Messrs. K. W. Mason and E. J. Huckabee went to Comer, Ga., Monday, where together with other places, they will spend some days in attending to some business. Rev. R. W. Barber, pastor, began a meeting in the Methodist church in this place, last night was a week ago. The meeting with two services a 'day. the one at 11 a. m., the otheratSp m. continued to and included Friday uight, and while there were no out? ward signs of good having been done, it is hoped thntgood was done, and the results be i seen in the future. Rev. J. H. GraveH of Oneal St. Meihodiet church, Newberry, came Monday evening and assisted the pastor till the cloee of the meeting. He preached good 6ermons, which it is believed, will show lu the alter lives 01 ' some who beard. Mr. D. L. Barnep started Tuesday for Atlao* ta.Ga.theu to Nashville, Tenn., and St. Louis. Mo., to buy horses and rauiea. He , propo-es in the luture to deal in stock at Anderson, having sold out his interest in the Livery and Sales stables here to E. W. Harper. A long, (7 coaches) and .'crowded excursion ? train, from Anderson to Atlanta, Ga., passed this place Wednesday evening. A few of our Citizens took advantage of the cheap rates to viainhA naiA Citv. From reDorts. a number of lively, turbulent spirits were, a? usual, on such occasions, much In evidence. Mrs. J. Fultou Cilnkscales, of Troy, came up Tuesday, then on to the home of her venerable father, Mr. Frank Cllnkscales In the -Fork, to spend a while with her sick mother. Mr. and Mrs. Berry Allen spent several days iast week with relatives in Anderson County. Mr". Bunk Sberrard of Iva, was In our town for a while on Friday. Invitations have been Issued to the marriage of Mr. J. Henry Carlisle and Miss Carrie Qunneis, which lakes plsce at the home of Mr. 8. F. Epps, on the 25th inst at 3 p m. Two "Mountain Schooners" loaded with apples, chestnuts and Irish potatoes, were od our streets Friday. This visitation was the first, of this season loaded with mountain products. Quite plainly to be seen lrost, was on the lrou bridge across Rocky River, Fridaj morning. It was too dry, and not enough dew any where, for there to have been frost enough to do any damage. Dr. J. Knox, of Autrevllle. came over Saturday and spent some hours here on business. Mr. J. F. Epp? of Due West, came over Saturday with Dr. J. A. Brown, who came t< fill his appointment in the Baptist Church yesterday evening. Mr. Epps took ad van Utge of the opportunitv to visit the family of hif uncle, Mr. 8. F. Epps. It seems that there is a scarcity of bagglnt. and ties, not only here, but other places to which our merchants have written to ob'an. additional supplies of these just now, badlj needed commodities. Since the cotton begat to open, the extra fine weather coDdltlons have not only caused It to open with great rapidity but the raisers of the staple have Katuoiru Ik 'CI j mo?, V?UP\.U w ?v. j heavy demand for bagging and tl- s, and iht planters have generally put their cotton upon the market as soon as It was prepared, bo that the receipts to date are very large ' which given the buyers a chance to daln. that a maximum crop has been made and the > price has not been so high as it would otherwise have been. It bad been six weeks last Saturday night since we bad rain here. Somebody has s?ld that there will be none till the Winter Solstice, 22od of Dec. Maybe he did not i know, aud it is to be hoped that he dlo I not. Mrs. R. W. Barber left Wednesday for Bamberg to attend tbe annual meeting ot the y S'aie Home Missiouary Board. lev. W. S. Hamiter, pastor of the Presbyterian church In this place, delivered a Missionary address in Providence church at 3 p. m. T Troupe. Lowndesvllle, Oct. 25th, 1904. r Miss Bessie Jones, Asststaut in the Mt. Car- ' mel High School, ended a three days stay in our town, at the home of Mr. J. T. Latimer Monday morning. Mr. will Adams, of Starr, was down Mod day on Home mw oumucbh. Oar Municipal as well as civil law officer* were somewnatln demand Monday, nothing serious, only enough excitement to interrupt tbe usual calm ana quiet of our town. Mr. J. F. Cox, of WilHamston began work as clerk in tbe store ol Mr. D. K. Cooiey, last 1 Monday morning. Mrs. Carrie A. Latimer of Anderson. C. H wbo bad spent about ten dav s with kinspeople In tbis place, went back to ber home, | Monday evening. Mrs. T. Baker and Mrs. J. T. Latimer wenl to Anderson; C. H? on Monday to spend a few days. Mr. Matt Barnes, of Anderson, C. H., hatbeen wltb relative* bere, for several days. , Mr. L. P. Harkfcess, of Antrevllle, was hert , , on business, Tuesday. ' g, Hou. W. D. Mann, of Diamond HIP, spent ? some hours in tbis place, on Tuesday. Mr, Ernest Allen, was for two days wltb ^ friends at Anderson, C. H., tbe first of last b week. , % Mrs. E. W. Mason, of Pacolet, came ove? Wednesday, and will remain for sometime wltb friends here. < Something unusual at this date. The cotton i is so nearly all picked In some Held*-, that the ,j owners stock, is turned into them, behind tbe a pickers, as tbey go lorwsrd wltb tbelr work, and allowed to eat tbe remainder, with the leaves, etc. These existing conditions, are bj no means general. On a targe number of tbe ,] farms, there is yet much cotton to open and t pick, and the owners perhaps will flulsh up, j but little, if any sooner thau usual g Born?on Saturday last, to Dr. and Mrs. T. o A L'i.l. not^iAl* n yj . xv 11 iv f^au itix, a uuu^uici. Mrs. Kate Sadler and Mrs. Marie Wa'son and tier two pretty little daughter*, ol Moseley, were down- yesterday, and worshipped with the Methodists. 8 The no-raln season Bttil on, and Its dam- ? aging eltcctH still Increasing, the steam Bhovel which has been at work near here lor f some time filling the trestles, ou this part ol 1 the Western Carolina Railway, bad lo stop c work last week for want of wati r. Some of our citizens in and around here are 1 having their wells dag deeper, because ot the * very short supply of water in them. This Is, " poitlng upon the owners of the wells, much trouble, as well as expense, as the walls ol the wells have to be taken out before their depth can be increased. Some tliue ago an appeal was made through the columns of the Southern Christian Advocate to Methodists in ;.South Carolina by liev. G. H. Waddell, Superintendent of tbeEpworth Orphanage, for aid for said institution, proposing that each one would I pay their earnings, for one day, 20th inBt to above cause. In the Methodist church in ? this place, yesterday at the close of 11 a m. c . preaching service, a collection for above t chubb, was lasen up. me resunoi wnicn was c 82500. The collection Id tbe Sunday Scbool t on every fourth Sunday goes the same way. t Tbe amount taken In from tbe Sunday School j collection was over $6 00, giving to the Or- t pbanage on yesterday a total of over S31.00. A few nights ago,' near here, Jim Williams and Ed Devlin met Tom Ware (all colored) In the road and a fuss was started and Ed Devlin shot at Tom Ware, the ball struck him on the bead (a bad place 11 he wauled to hurt him very badly) and glanced off producing only a skin wound. At the iuvestl gatlon of the case, Saturday In Magistrate J. G. Huckabee'8 court,they were sent to jail, to await acilou In tbe nextcouuty court. Mr. M. T.

Soon alter our civil wnr; when cotton wrb ^ oiling trom 1212lo IScth. per lb., the New U luglnud cotton manufactories became un-1 i/l as>y. They dlscovertd that the ?boIltion of avory in the South was not an unmixed lessing lo them. Charles Sumner, the real Apostle of ttie New Englund abolition,t, dt eartd in a public ppeecb, "that cotton rouid be produced by free labor in the he ouih lor 8 cts. per ib., in the next 3D years." w 'ne oO years have passed; and instead of cent cotton we have 10 cts. cotton and twice Pa s much of it. 0< Sumner was either very ignorant as to the erieui i.dapilbility of the Slave system in he si uib, lor producing cheap cotton, or he ?' id uut aaequatly comprehenaed the effect liech'inge liom the slave lo the Iree system ?ouid have or, perhaps, he like polititians eneraiiy, meant to approve the discontent >i his constitution by oamboozeling them. C0TTO.N WAS STYLED KING. Before the war, from the fact that It had a reater money value than any other crop iroduced in the United States. JN It is king again, because It not only has a ;re?ter money vaiue than any other crop in be United states, but turns the "balance >1 trade" lu cur lavor.
