Murder in AbbeTile.
Hiram Wooms was shot through
the hoad and instantly killod, by Low
is Granrt, at Tabernacle (colored)
camp'mecting, at Abbeville C. I., on
ttrO' 14th ibst. The bullet entered
Weems' skull, just above the left oye,
ranging to to the right and down.
The murder is said to have been Un
provoked and brutal.
Independents Squelched.
In the municipal election in Green.
ville on the 18th inst., the regularly
nominated ticket was elected, defent%
ing the Independent (mild term for
Radical) ticket, headed by Maj. T. B.
Ferguson for Mayor, by a handsomo
m.njority. Tho following is tho tickot
elocted: Mayor-W. L Mauldin; Al
dormon-G. G. Wells, It. A. Caublo,
Dr. Waddy Thompson, John M. Curo
ton, Henry Briggs and J. C. Boyd.
The disorganizors (Independents)
were completely squelched, and we
congratulate the good Domocrats of
Groenvillo on their success.
04W*
Not True.
We publish on our outsido this
wook a lottor of a Charloston corres
pondent of the New York Sun, headed
"Moses in the witness box," which
purports to give some very interest
ing facts to the public, and makes
some statements about shielding Do
mocrats implicated in the frauds of
tho IRadioal administrations sinco the
war. These statements we did not
credit, and believed that in duo time
the falsity of the assertions would be
exposed. The able and vigilent Coluin
bia correbpondont of the News and
Courier has investigated the matter,
and here is what he has to say about
it:
CoLUMBI, August 13.-The mom,%
bers of the Investigating Comuiitteo
assert, in the most emphatic terms,
that there is not one wvord of truth in
the letter of a Charleston correspond
ent, which appeared recently in the
New York Sun and which wvas repub..
lished ia the Newvs and Corier to
day.
The statement that an attempt has
boon made, or will be made, to shield
.Uemocrats concernedi in the public
frauds is particularly denounced, in
plain terms, as a lie out of whole
cloth. The comnmitteou have expressly
declared their intention to spare no
'. ho might be found to
It is probable that Lihe ~r os
pondent will be summoned at once
and required to give his authority for
his information. If there is a leak
the committee are determined to find
it, and if' there is not the correspon
dent will be placed in a bad light.
THE PICKENs SENTINEL comes to
us from the mountain heights of the
'Blue Ridge. This paper devotes some
space to locals, but keeps its main
.eye on the current matters of the
State and the nation. This paper is
nicely printed on lar'go typo. The
p)ublisher could give as much reading
matter on a smaller sheet and save an
item in paper bills these hard tim'es.
The editor is .D. F. Bradley, a staunch
Democratic Reproson tative in the
General Assembly from that County.
--Abbevillo Pross and Banner.
We wvould devote more spaco to
locals, but the fact iq, friend Wilson,
locals in this County havo boon about
as scarce as candidates for County
offices on the Radical ticket. If the
editor of the Press and Banner had
carried out the scriptural injunction
in his youthful days and took unto
himself a wife, he, in all probability
wvould r.ow have a half dozen, or a
dozen, grand children pratling around
his knees, and would be in favor of
typo as large as a Juno-bug, and a
paper as small as a shoot of' fools cap
writing paper. We are much obliged
jo the Press and Banner for its criti
pige, and as we are young, will try
to improve with increasing age.
The elections in Alabama last Mon,
daty week for county offleers resulted
in a defeat of the Radicals all along
the line. Mongomiery and Dallas
coun'ties for the first time, were carried
by the Democrats. Barbour', also el
outed the Democratic ticket.
Nasar* of Christians.
Tho Turks havo again defeated the
Russians on the Osma, Qn i with the
news of the batbo como at of the
cold blooded, heartless 'A" inhuman
massacre of twelve orfliften thousand
Christians by tho Tuiks: We have
not heretofore taken much interest
in this war, but from now on
we shall watch its progress a great
doal mo,ro closely, and rejoice when
the complete triumph of the Russian
arms is announced. The Turks should
be driven out of Euro'o or c"6i'tolf
subjitgatod. The following is tho tol,
egraphic account of the massacro:
LONDON, Aug. 14.-The News' But..
charest correspondent telegraps as fol-i
lows: "I have written the following
as I received it, and from tho terriblo
accounts which the fugatives continu
ally bring over the Balkans, I fear it
must be only too true. On July 31,
the day of the Russian ovacuation of
Eski Saghra, the Turks ordered that
all Christians, men, womon and chil
dron, should bo shot as they left their
houses. Those who remained within
woro burnt alive. Tio order was giv
en to burn down and destroy every
particlo or Christian property in the
place. Many leading Turkish mor
chant took part in the affair. One
dispatched a large number of Bashi
Bazouks all over the Tchirpan District
This district is one of the richest in
that part of Turkey. It contains a
very large proportion of Christian in,
habitants, with over 200 churches and
500 schools and colleges, all of which
have been burned. Tho destruction
extended to the villages of Brbghman,
Maholesi, Cani and many others; in
all aboubt sixty villages, containing
from 150 to 200 families eich. Scurco.
ly fifty persons have escaped alivo.
The Bulgarian fugatives at Gabrova
and Solvi estimate that frcm 12,000 to
15,000 Christians have been masacred
in tho Eski Snghra and Tchirpan dis
tricts alone. Soldiers were posted
along the road from Eski Saghra to
Kasanlik with orders to shoot every
body passing.".
FIIEMONT, Ohio, August 18.-The
Executive Committee of the Soldiors
National Reunion, announces that
their next meeting for Marietta, Ohio,
September 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th. Can
non, ammunition, arms, tents and two
hundred stands of regimental colors,
p)rovided for by acts of Congress and
the Ohio Legislature, are already on
the grounds. A number of dlistin
guished Gerierals, among whoma are
Gener als Cockerell and Joe Johnston
Generals Sherman and Cook arVo to ho

sident will also attend. Trhe Governor
of the State and his staff will be pro.
sont, and Governor Young wvill for
mally open the camp on the first day.
All soldiers of both armies aro invited,
and nio political speches, will be
tolerated. Every State will be re
p)resented by ex-soldiers of the Union
and Confederate armies.
CorUMBTA, Auigust 15.-The Su
preme Court has announced its decis
ion in the case of the State cx rel.
Dunton vs. Cobb. The mandamus of
the Circuit Court is set aside. This
decision sustains the constitutionality
of the " Act to provide for' the pay
ment of pNst-due schdol claims," ap
proved 3d March, 1874. Opinion by
Willard, C. J.
County Treasurer Gil reath closed
the collection of the 1st installment
of taxes on Saturday last. The re
ceipts will foot up about *17,000,
which speaks well for Greenville
County.-Groenville News.
It is now estimated that the strik
ers destroyed between twenty five and
thirty millions of property, that much
of the means which enabled them to
obtain employment and a living.
A new mode of running a foot race
was practiced at this place last Mon,
day. The race was between Messrs.
W. T. O'Dell and - Hollis. The
ground-one hundred yards--was
stepped off. Mr. 0. took position
half way betwveen; Mr. II. started at
the begining of the 100 yards and ran
with a fence rail on his shoulder; Mr.
0. started as Mr. HL. came oven with
him, but made only a slight effort to
run, for Mr. II. whized by him 80
fast that ho saw the race was hopeless,
dropped his head and turned back
to the great amusement of his friends:
It is said the man who cnrries the rail
and runs the hundred yards will al.
ways beat, for ha~ is running at full
speed when ho comes up eo en with
the man who is to run the 50 yards
and can get out before his opponent
can got under full speed and overtake
him.
Organiathen of a Cavalry Company.
Pursuant to notice previously
givon, a ineeting was held in the
Court House on Saturday, the 18th
day of August, 1877, for tho purpose
of organizing a cavalry company.
On motion, D. F. Brudley, Esq., was
called to the chair, and R. A. Child,
Esq., was requestod to act as socretary,
Tho chair explained the object of tho
meeting and read the act passed at
the lasI. session of the Gonoral Assem-.
bly, under which it was proposed to
organizo, and announced that the
moting was organized and ready to
proceed to business.
On rmotion, the compary proceeded
Ld organizo by the election of tho
commissioned officei by ballot, w hich
resulted as follows: Captain, James A.

R. A. CHILD, Sc'ry.
The Stock Law.
Tho election on the stock law in
Laurens County took plack on Tuos
day last, and resulted aa follows: In
Laurens township-yes, 92; no, 534.
In Souffletown township-yes, 63; no,
227. In Hunter township, there n as
no election, in consequence of the
managers failing to appear. The no,
groes voted solidly against the pro
posed change in the law.
The election in Chester county also
occurred on Tuesday, resulting in a
considerable majority for foncing tho
stock in every township. There was
great unanimity among the voters in
favor of the chnge, and Chcstcr will
test the experiment as an entire
coun ity.
Fairfield county voted up)on. the
quoston in nino townships on We'd,
nesday. Several townshuips suistainied
the change, including WVinnsboro, but
tbe result in the aggregate hais not
been received.
Seven townships in York County
voted on the stock law~ last Tuesday
week. Four townshIps adopted thme
new law by small majorities, and the
others reject,ed it by a considorable
vote.
nE ELECTION YESTERDAY.--The
A bbev illo Presq and Ban nor ay:
Yesterday was tho day aplpointecd for
the eloetion on the fejnce question in
the various towvnships of this county.
We have hoard the result from but
few of the townships. At Abbevillo
thocro were three votes against~ thme
IawV to one for it. At Iodges Depot
the vote stood "yes," 180, "no," 220;
at Groonwvood, "yes," 155, "no," 308;
at Niuety-Six, the fence law was ad
opted by a small majority. This is
perhaps the only township in the
county which did adopt it.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock -- with the Todides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative cffect of
each is assured, and while it is so miild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it, prv their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its 'virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
,publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the supriority of this Sar
'saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
PoSSessed are striCtly maintained.

w.uriftes the Blood, Renovates
and Invigorates the Whole

- IT8 MEIUAL QUALITIVs ARE
Alterative, Tonie, Solvent
and Diuretic.
VEFTIN Is made exclusively from the
jucies of carefully selected barks, roots, and
harba, and so strongly concentrated that it
will effectually eradicate (rom the system
every taint of Scrofula, Scrofulous Miumr,
Tumors, Cancer, Cancerous Ilumor, Erysi..

or, Faintness at tie Stomach, and all diseas
es that arise from in pure blood. Sciatica,
Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Uout, and Spinal Complaints, can
only be effectually cured through the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of the
Skin,, Pustules, Pimples, Blotches, Boils,
Tetter, Scaldhead, and Ringworm, Vegetine
has never failed to effect a permanent cure.
For Pains in the Back, Kidney Complaints,
Dropsey, Female Weakness, Leucorrhoa,
arising from Internal ulceration, and uterine
diseases and General Debility, Vegetine acts
directly upon the causes of these complaints.
It invigorates and strengthens the whole

lays inflammation, cures ulceration, and re
gulates the bowels.
For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Costive,
ness, Palpitation of the Heart, Headache,
Piles, Nervousness, and General Prostra
tion of the Nervous System, no medicine has
ever given such perfect satisfaction as the
Vegeti ne. It purifies the blood, cleanses all
of the organs, and possesses a controlling
power over the nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by Vegetine
have induced many physicians and apothie
caries whom we know to prescribe and use
it in their own families.
in fact, Vegetino is the best remedy yet
discovered for the above diseases, and is the
only reliable Blood Purifier yet placed be
fore the public.

MR. EDITOR : I noticed an article in
your paper of tho 16th, in 'referenoe
to a difficulty having occurrod at rny
school. I am charged with having ad,%
Visd the parties "to fight it out,"
this is untrue, as I heard a dispute be
tween two of my scholars at 12 o'clock
(on the day referred to), which I
stopped at-once.
There was a r<W raised by a young
man not belonging to my school in the
evening, and a few blows passed boe
fore I could quiet it, but I soon put a
stop to it.
As to any, and all other chaigos
made in said article, I am willing to
have the whole matter investigated
by tho proper authorities.
Very respectfully,
W. D. JENKINS, Teacher.
A Result of Obstructed Digestion.
Among the hurtful consequences of obstruc
ted digestion, is the impoverishment of the
blood, and since a deteriative condition of the
vital fluid not only produces dangerous organ
ic weakness, but., according to tie best medi
cal authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia. it
is apparent that to improve the quality of the
blood by promoting digestion and assimila
tion, is a wise precaution. Hostetter's Stom
ach Bitters is precisely the remedy for this
purpose, since it stimunlates the gastric juices,
conquers those bilious and evacuative irregu
larities which interfere with the digestive
processes, promotes assimilation of the food
by the blood, and purifies as well as ent iches
it. The signs of improvement in health in
consequence of iing the bitters are speedily
apparent in an accession of vigor, a gain in
bodily substance, and a regular and active per
formance of every physical function
