Court* The Court of Sessions was opened at thia i plaoe on Monday last, Judge Hudson presid ing. The jurors answered promptly when their names woro oallod. Judge Hudson, in addressing the grand jury, said he had no doubt his predecessor had properly instructed thom as to tho dis charge of their duty. He would, however, bring to their attention again perhaps tho faot, that they had undor their care and su pervision, not only all matters pertaining to tho wolfare of the county, but in a measure the preservation of the peace and dignity of the State. The jury should examino care fully into the conduot of tho officers of tho county, and these inolude tbe County Com missioners, Auditor, Treasurer, Clerk of the Court, Sheriff, Coronor, Judge of Probate, School Commissioner, Trial Justices and Con stables, and the manner In which they dis charge their du tica. Thoso officers may be discharging their duties, but nevertheless, you must not fall into carelessness in refer ence thereto. A careful examination should bo made during your term of all these mat ? tors. The most important of your county officials are tho County Commissioners. They have oharge of tho roads, bridges, public buildings, paupers and tho poor In rm, finan ces of the county, ico. Judge Hudson culled tho attention of the grand jury to tho recent laws passed by tho Legislature, in relation to adultery and fornication, intermarriage of tho races, the license law, carrying ooncooled woapons, &o. Those laws, he said, aro im portant. Public opinion, finding expression through your representatives, had caused thoso laws to bo enacted- All might not ogroo as to their wisdom, but none will deny but what, if thoy aro properly onforcod, much good will bo tho result. Heneo, they should bo onforced in a proper way, and it is the duty of tho grand inquest of tho county to nssut ia their enforcement. Tho 8olioitor, Col. Orr, submitted so?eral indictments, which, after explanation of tho laws of ench case, by His Honor, were . handed over to tho grand jury. Tho grand jury returned into Court with truo bills against Daphne Maxwell and her daughter Jeannette, for murder; Dinah Wil liams for grand larceny; Andy Hyatt for in-, termarriugo of race; I. K. James, Trial Jus. tioo, for malfeasance in office; .Elisha Fend loy for carrying concealed weapons, no bill; John P. Lodbettor, for obstructing road, true bill; John Fenley, Elisha Fonloy and Lee Soigling, for gambling in open pince, true bill. Dinah Williams waa found guilty. She was dofonded by Mr. Qibson. Andy Hyatt was found guilty. Ile was defended by himself. . The caso against Fenloys and Seigling, for ..gambling in open place," was continuod. I. K. James, Esq., was defended by Messrs. Morion and Slribling. Undor the instructions of the Judge, the jury found a verdict of not guilty. Tho oaso of the State against John P. Lod botter, for obstructing ? "private path" or neighborhood road was commenced on Tuesday .morning. Messrs. Brown, of Anderson, and Col. Norton, of our bar, represented the defen dant. After a tedious nad protracted trial the jury returned a verdiot of not guilty. The ease of the Stats against Daphne Max well and her daughter Jeannette Maxwell, WSB then called. The prisoners wero brought into Court by the Sheriff, the last named defendant not being able to sit up or stand. The oaso was continued on account of tho condition of Jeannette. Her situation in jail this extremely Warm weather was thought to bo bad for her, hut she was in no condition to bs tried. Dinah Williams, convicted of grand laroony, was sentenced to the penitentiary for ono year. Andy Hyatt, oonvioted of marrying a whlto woman, was sentenced to one year in the pen! tentiftry. Til o Court of Sessions was adjourned late Tuesday afternoon and the Court of Common $*{*M ?poned. The Court is disposing of Calen dar 0 mu1, tho equity business on the various ?alendare.

On "Wednesday tbo conimoncomont oxorciscs of tbo male coll?ge took place* The oxer? cieos of tho two colleges were of the roost ?atiefaotory kind, both to tho public and to the Professors having tho colleges in charge. Tbe essaya of the graduating young ladle? were really eioellent, and ?bowed not only tbe intellectual vigor of tho graduates, but evidenced commendable profloieooy in tho ?rt of using good English. We think tho people of Walhalla are poouliary fortunate in having two suoh good institutions in the town. The whole number of students in attendance Were 128. Hov. John K. Kiely, of this county, is Chairman of the Faculty, Mr. 8. P. Booser, A, B., of Qreonwood, is Professor of the Preparatory Department. With two professors from Abbevillo county the people of this seotion oannot fail to feel a deep interest in tho prosperity of this insti tution. The commencements in Walhalla were pleasing nod gratifying ia every par? tioular. ? New Deal Probable [Abbeville Press and Banner ] The indications are os plain as possible that we are to havo a new deal at the next Stute election, and that these who havo been in power for the past six years will have to stand aside in 1882. Whether the change will be of benefit to South Carolina, reroaioa lo be seen, but tho Dhange is certain to como. Tho Demooraoy is strongly committed against '?Ihird-terms," and being pre-eminently a party favoring rotation in )ffiee, any combinations or engineering which may bo dono by individuals or eateries to keep ho same men in power forever will no longer )0 effectual, but will have tho effect of disin egraliog tho party ns certain os tho effort is iltcropted. For six years the people, by tho iel of their nominating conventions, have been louipolted to volo for and keep in power the ame men who obtained tho of?ccs in 187G, but I is evident that they will no longer submit to his state of affairs. They want a ohangc, not hat there ia any very tangible cause of com daint, butbeoauso of a belief, that a little agl ation of tho stagnant waters will bnvo a desira ile effect, and will disabuso the minda of those rho may have doubts aa to whether partiality as been extended to official favorites, to tho xolubion of others, who may have had equal launs for either political favors or official pre crmcnt. Tugaloo Home Dots June 27, 1881. MESSRS. KUITORS: Since my last effusion for our columns many important changes have aken place, and but for tho press of business neident to wheat harvest I should have reported )oro in duo season. Two weeks ago wo sang "Bearcat Mal-'Way >own in de Mead, or Mowing of do liny," &c., thile (ho breezes were freighted and made rcdo :nt with tho scent of new mown hay. Lost rook "Harvest Homo" was more suggestive, rhi'.o tho garnering hand with his nickle has cen gathering tho golden sheaves from tho raving fields of wheat and oats. Pay laborers aro very scarce and whilo liu roved farming and thc development of tho esourocs of our county is utilized, emigration ?cornes more and more suggestive. Whilo tho cgular labor bas been diverted in harvesting, len. Oreen has arrayed a formidable forco and ne would suppose if to make two spears of russ to grow wbcro but ono grew before, wus public benefactor, we have plenty of suob huructers in tho highest acceptation of tho ?rm. But up to this lime (he weather bas een rather dry, impeding somewhat to rapid rowth, bul giving ampio limo for proper cult i - allon and I assure you tho farmers have made ood use of the favorable opportunity and tho rop bas been well worked and colton blooms nd corn Bilks made their appearance earlier inn usual and the general outlook of the rowing crop is certainly flattering. This week the shrill whistles of tho "traveling ireshers" are beard and the plump precious mall grain crop that forms the staff of lifo is cing rapidly stored away for futuro use, and ow thankful we should bo to our kind preserver nd giver of every perfect gift to know that wc re abundantly supplied with such choice blcss ags. The wheat and oat crop have fallen a .tile short of Ike expectation in quantity, bul bo quality of the grain is good. My experiment has been made that I promised ) the readers of tho COVBIBR. From observa Ion I have been impressed with tho idea that sasons following snob winters as last winter thcat would do well sown ia February. Last inter I acted on tho suggestion and sowed in ebruary in addition lo what I sowed in D?cern er und my spring sown wheat was the best heat I made, though I do not attribute its eing better by being sown late, but I havo i rived at the following conclusion, that I would ot give my February wheat, sown after (liese xtrcme cold winters, for wheal sown in "duo i>ason," warm winters. Ours is not really a heat growing country and should not bo relied n ns a staplo production, and is only adapted, ko all other productions, to certain climates, nd we oannot raiso wheat South successfully no lore limn wo can raiso colton North. Blue itriol is an infallible preventative of smut in heat, because it is an injured grain that pro ucca smut and the injured germ being dc vital ted perishes from tho poisonous effect of blue tone. But that man is not living nor never till be that can prevent rust in wheat without ie aid of climatic in licence. I believe that arti oial congelation would aol as a preventative, ut this would bo about equal to hot houso In ot (on culture. Then my plan is to prepare a mall area and sow early and if it fails tho loss I small, and if it hits you make enough for onie consumption, and sow largely in February fter these occasionally cold winters, which I wayo cast their shadows before sufficiently to nable us to raiso wheat in abundanoo once in very four or fi vo years. By doubling my De amber sown wheat, by sowing in February I uidc double the quantity and by proper H?n - ing I have kopt wheat over three years. This i my experiment in wheat culturo and if tho lan is not new to others perhaps lt will be im rossivo and I give it for what it is worth. Weare having fine rains now and the prospect I we will have several days of showers. Cotton is taking on forms very fast. 'Corn is unusually luxuriant and is being dd by in good condition. Gardens and clover, and especially tito latter, uvo suffered from dry weather. Mfcssrt.

This oaloulntion , places this mountain to be tho third moun- , tain in hoight in tho Stete. L. j Cotton Manufacturing in the South. 1 Mr. Edward Atkinson, as is known, holds ' that in tho cotton country tho climate is not 1 favorablo for establishing industries that 1 require continuous indoor labor every work- < ing day in tho year, on a very large scale, 1 and that Ibo South generally oan make moro money by growing cotton than by mnnufao- 1 turing it. Mr. Felix Fontaine, tho Georgia Commissioner or Land and Immigration, has, in a rcoont letter, presented his views regarding tho futuro of cotton manufacturing in tho South, and in doing so takes issue with I Mr. Atkinson. 1 M r. Fontaine believes that tho South is tho I region of all others for tho building and pro'itable operation of large mills. Ho cites tho Eagle and Phcnix Manufacturing Com pany's mills ut Columbus, Ga., whero are employed 1,800 operatives, the extent of theso mills being indicated by tho fact that they have 45,000 and 1.800 looms, manufac turing over 100 varieties of white and colored goods, and using 13,000 halos of cotton annu ally and 800 pounds of wash wool daily. All the operatives in tho Southern mills, says Mr. Fontaine, are whites, nearly all nativos of the rogion where tho mill is situated "It is," says Mr. Fontaine further on, "un undisputed fact that nu mill in New Englaud can sbuw equal profits with those earned by mills in Georgia, all of thom, oxoept a few small mills being situated in the 'cotton country proper.' " Mr, Fontulno asks if any one onn seriously assert that Georgia mills, which have an advantage of 1 0-10 conts por pound in the cost of raw material over their North) eastern competitors-which fer a mill of 1,G00 looms amounts to over 0 per cent of the entire capital, or $120,000 per annum cannot soil goods to Mexico and tho South western States cheaper than cnn mills 1,000 miles from the cotton fields and 1,000 miles further distant from tho Western market. Mr. Fontaine estimates that a orup of 6,500, 000 bales would requiro tho work of 2,166, 506 farm laborers, and he believes that this vast army of workers will at no distant duy bo clothed with gouda mudo almost exclu sively in tho cotton country proper. Tho Southern mills have, according to theOoorgiu commissioner, boon selling heavy shootings at 6J conts per yard, shirtings nt 53 cents and oighUounco osnoburgs of fino finish nt 0} cents, making money at a time whon no Northern mill could do it. In the construc tion of their mills, the Georgia companies liuvo in their favor a differonooof 33 por cent, in tho cost of brick, and of 66 per cent, in that of lumber, while tho raw material can be bought $10 per bale cheaper than the Norihoru and English manufactures oan buy it. After making his argumont, Mr. Fontaine concludes by assorting that, as in New England, largo factories pay host in Georgia. South Carolina has the samo experience as Goorgia. Tho profits of tho cotton mills are handsome, and thoro is a healthy ootton mill revival in tho State. Curiously enough, however, the highost rate of profit last year was from a very small mill, working with the "Glemont attachment." Every mill in tho StatO recently erected and well equipped ie doing well, and it will not take long to make Mr. Atkinson a true believer io tho wisdom of bringing tho mills to the ootton.-News and Courier.
