That county is composed of some of ilie tiucsl cotton laud in the up-country, and its ci'./eus are a progressive and intelligent people, llradlcys, the place near whero we visited, i> a thriving little town, with a large wagon lictory. Our impressions of Abbeville an I county entitle it justly to the tatno of lite banner county ol' youth Carolina. I lie railroad authorities linve instructed the i'on ductors of the passenger iraius to arrost and hau l over to the town inarshall all pursuits, not passengers wlio jump oil the trains while in inotioi:. We have noticed a good many boys, hotli white and colored, who make a practice of jumping oil and oil the passongcr (rains while they are in motion. This is a dangerous prac ice, and the authorities are perfectly right in tiying to put an end to the reckless practice, l'akc warning, boys!
