It was our good fortune to be numbered among the newspaper men who attended the banquet given by the Board of Trade of Greenville to the State Press Associa? tion at the Hotel Altamont, on Paris Mountain, Tuesday evening, 6th inst. There was not a large attendance of the members of the Association, but the liBt of invited guests, composed of a number of the leading citizens of Greenville, with their wives and daughters, was complete, and the. occasion was a big success. . It was about 6 o'clock Tuesday after? noon when the party, in charge of the committee of arrangements, left the city in comfortable hacks, drawn by stylish horses, bound for Paris Mountain, which is about eight miles northwest of the city, i The drive was a most delightful one, and in about two and one-half hours we landed on top of the mountain, which is 2,054 feet above the sea level, and 1,000 feet above Greenville. The road leading up the mountain is in very good condition, and the scenery along the route is pictu? resque. Before we had reached the top we could feel a considerable change in the atmosphere, and on top of the moun? tain a heavy coat dichuot feel uncomfor? table. It was only a few months ago. that the idea occurred to some of Greenville's enterprising citizens to build a hotel on Paria Mountain, and in a short time a stock company was organized with Col. | J. L. Orr as President. Within sixty jlays from the organization of the compa ny, the Hotel Altamont, as it now stands, was completed and thrown open to the public.' Col. Orr displayed hisjusual en* ergy and push in the enterprise, and its rapid completion. is due largely to his efforts. The present, building is only one-third the Bize of the original plan, which, when completed, will be shaped like a star. The Hotel sits upon the highest point of the mountain, with broad verandas all around the three stories, and a fine view of the surround? ing country for miles around is presented from every side. It is connected by telephone with Greenville, and the guests receive their mail daSly from the city/ Mr. A. H. French is in charge of the hotel, and in his courteous, pleasant way, looks closely after the comfort and care of his guests. The editors spent a couple of hours very pleasantly chatting and smoking, and enjoying the delightful mountain air, and when the doors of the spacious dining-room were thrown open^bout 10 o'clock, everybody Beemed ready for the feast. It took but a few moments to get seated around the tables. Col. J. A. Hoyt presided, and after extending the party a warm wellcome, ordered them to make a charge on the good things before them. It was a grand repast, and the editors, es? pecially, wasted no time in hiding a good portion of it. At the conclusion of the banquet, Col. Hoyt announced that there were no. set toasts "for the evening, but he expected a number of short speeches from those present. The first toast proposed was the "South Carolina Press Association," which was responded to by its President, Maj. M. B. McSweeney, of the Hampton Guardian, This was followed by a toast to "South Carolina," which was responded to by Lieut.-Gov. Mauldin. Next came the toast, ''The Paris Mountain Hotel Company," and Col. Orr was called out to respond, which he did in a very h&ppy manner. The toast "Woman," was next propos? ed, and Mr. ?. P. McKissick, of the News and Courier, was called upon to respond, which he did. "Education" was proposed, and Col. Hoyt called upon Mr. John G. Capers, Greenville's efficient School Commission* er, to respond. He did so in a very elo* quent manner. The toast to "The Editors," was re? sponded to by Mr. John C. Bailey, of the Greenville Enierprise and Mountaineer. Editor J. E. Boggs, of the Pickens Sentinel, was next called out, and despite the fact that he had stowed away a hear? ty meal, he made one of the best speeches of the evening. All of the speeches though impromptu, were exceedingly interesting and elo? quent, and the speakers were frequently applauded. From the beginning to the close, the affair was admirably managed, and the committee of arrangements de? served the many compliments paid them ?pon the success of the banquet. The presence of so many charming ladies added greatly to the pleasures of the evening. It was after 1 o'clock when the merry banqueters retired from the dining room. About 2 o'clock, in company with Mr. E. P. McKissick, "Squire" McBee and two other gentlemen, piloted by a careful driver; we left the mountain and drove to Greenville, reaching there just before daybreak. We regretted to leave the pleasant company, but were forced to do so in Order to catch the early morning train, having promised to be back home that morning. The editors spent a very pleasant night on the mountain, sleeping under blankets, and next morning arose feeling considerably refreshed. After breakfast, the Association was called to order and appropriate resolutions of thanks were adopted by an unanimous vote. The occasion was a most pleasant one, and we regret that every member of the Association could not have been there to enjoy it. We can assure our brethren that they missed having a royal time by not being present. If any of our readers want to visit a de? lightful summer resort, we advise them to go to Paris Mountain and spend a week or two at the Hotel Altamont. COMPLIMENTARY WOKUS. Col. B. F. Cray ton brought a number of his old friends who were attending the meeting at Pendleton home with him last Friday, and they spent the night at his lovely home. Among the visitors was Maj. L. A. Bamaom, Secretary of the State Agricultural Department, who in writing an accoun t of the Pendleton. meeting and Stock Show to the Augusta Clironicle, says this about Anderson: "On Friday afternoon Col. B. F. Cray ton, the pioneer stock breeder of the up country, the progressive planter and suc? cessful merchant, collected together a car load of visitors, including your corres? pondent, and took tftem to his hospitable home on the hills overlooking the beauti? ful village of Anderson. Anderson is one of the prettiest of the small cities of the South. On every aide are evidences of the thrift and prosperity of the people. The new hotel Hearing completion is the handsomest structure of tho kind in tho State; the new bank building is a model, and the Masonic temple is an imposing building. The cotton mill is being rapidly built, and a yarn mill is one of the probabilities of the near future. The cotton seed oil mill has paid for itself in dividends. AH of the .other nu merous industries of the place are on a solid foundation. With-good railroad facilities, industrious people, who have faith in their advantages, there is, in every reason, to expect Anderson to be one of the big cities of the South. On the return trip, the visitors unanimously decided that col where in all their experi? ence, had they ever met with more gen? erous hospitality than they had received from the citizens of Fendleton and An? derson, and unanimously voted that no better locality could be found for the summer meetings of the farmers." The Superintendent of tho Census has started the preliminary work for taking the eleventh census. To cover the vast territory of this country, which embraces 3,826,000 square miles, and nearly 70,000,000 people, over 40,000 enumerators will be employed, and about 2,000 clerks to compile their returns. The last census was restricted to cost $300,000, bnt for the coming one congress appropriated $6,300,000, exclusive of the cost of printing, engraving and binding. There will be but thirteen volumes in the eleventh census instead of twenty two as in the last, and it is hoped to have all finished inside of five years in? stead of eight years, which it :ook for the previous census. A Reminiscence. Rev. John T. McBride preached in the Presbyterian Church in Greenwood last Sabbath, much to the edification and pleasure of an appreciative congregation. Dr. McBride is now in Texas but is well known to the survivors of Orr's Rifles in this county. He was our comrade and carried the flag at the bloody angle at Spottsylvania. We well remember how we went into that angle of death. The rain was coming down in torrents. Our lines had been broken and our brigade was called upon to retake the lost works and hold the position. We reached the position we were to occupy amid a perfect tempest of shot aud shell and advanced rapidly and steadily until we struck the -first line of breastworks, where through some misunderstanding the regiment halted and fell down behind the works. Almost immediately the order was given to move forward, but amid the thunder of so many guns no human voice could be heard, and the gallant regiment could Only follow its leader. Gen. McGowan gave the order to Col. G. McD. Miller, and was shot down. Col. Miller gave the order to the editor of the Medium and was shot.do wn. We gave it to Mc? Bride and with him mounted the earth? works along with Calvin Galloway one of the color guard. The flag fluttered out in the lurid breeze. We stood awhile upon the earthworks, the gallant regiment caught Bight of the battlefiag, rose to a man and with a cheer that rang out high above the tumult of the conflict, double quicked into the very midst of the strug? gle going on over the last line of the captured breastworks. Then ensued the fiercest hand to hand fight of the war. For hours McBride with unfaltering courage held our banner over his un daunted comrades until in one of the most j desperate charges of the day the Yankees mounted our line of breastworks. Unable to withstand the terrific fire which wel? comed them, they were forced to retire. As they did so, a stalwart Yankee seized McBride by the collar, lifted him and his flag out of our works and carried him off. McBride kicked and struggled to free himself but he was no match for his cap? tor and we saw nothing of him again until he was released from prison and exchanged. During his strangle with his captor, finding that he could not escape McBride tore the flag from its staff, con? cealed it in his bosom and brought it back with him from prison. McBride was a boy then of tender years and un* developed physique, but no braver or truer soldier ever trod the consecrated soil of Virginia.?Abbeville Medium, s CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Lansing, Mich., August 8.?The Rev. Frederick Mayer, pastor of the Evangelical Church; is a liberal-minded gentleman, but his congregation was shocked this morning to hear that he had been investing in lottery tickets, and dumb-founded when they learned further that he had bagged $5,000 in a recent drawing. Mr. Mayer is about 27 years of age and well educated. He says he bought the ticket just as he would get married or take any other hazardous step, and that he was overwhelmed when he discovered that be had won a big prize. He declares that he can Bee nothing sinful in acquiring money in this way, and he has put the money in a bank nntil he can find a suitable investment. On the other band, the church society sees con? siderable harm in the transaction, and there is likely to be an early vacancy in the pulpit. . Atlanta, August 7.?This morning an old negro named Lewis Butler put in his appearance at the capitol. He claimed a seat in the House of Representative;:, and to sustain his claim showed a telegram from President Harrison. In 1884 Lewis ran for tho Legislature in Worth County, and was beaten. Last Friday he was in Vienna, Dooly County, and fell into the hands of some practical jokers. They fixed up a bogus telegram.from Harrison, in which the President asked Lewis to go to Atlanta and take a hand at the helm of the State. He was too poor to buy a railroad ticket; but he packed his old grip and set ont on foot. He reached here this morning, and at on ce called and demanded his seat. Not getting any sat? isfaction out of the member) he appealed to Captain Tip Harrison, in the absence of Governor Gordon. Captain Tip told him it was a joke, and the old fellow Is almost heartbroken in his despair. Charlotte, N. C, August 9.?There was an exciting scene at the Mount Holly Fair Grounds .this afternoon. Prof. W. K. Perry, the celebrated eeionaut of the American Balloon Company, was to make his marvellous leap to earth, after ascend? ing to the height of three quarters of a mile, descending by aid of a parachute. At 5 o'clock, everything being in readi? ness, the feat was attempted, in the pres? ence of fifteen hundred people. The crowd with bated breath, watched the man rising in the air. Whan the balloon had traveled upwards about seven hun? dred feet, the crowd discovered that it was j bursting. Gas could be seen shooting out1 and Boon the canvass began to drop. As Prof. Perry was holding on under the, Earachute ho was not aware of the terri le situation. The crowd became frantic with excitement. Yells went up and | pistols were fired to attract his attention, but to no purpose. Soon, however, all the gas in the balloon was exhausted, and I twitching, jerking and whirling, it began to fall downward. It wts too late to Icoaen the parachute from the wrecked balloon, j but for Borne distance it was successfully ! engineered. Finally the balloon causing I the parachute to capsize, all came down J with a terrible crash to the earth. The ! crowd rushed around the unfortunate man j and every attention was given him, but for twenty minutes he did not move or J show signs of life. The fall is variously ' estimated at from 100 to 400 feet. Prof. Perry was brought here to-night and is being treated by the best medical ski'.l in , the city. Many of his bones are broken, j He weighs ISO pounds. At 11 p. m. the j chances for Prof. Perry's recovery are not j good, and physicians think it hardly probable that he will recover. j Pine Fibre Bagging. Wilmington, N. O, August 8.?It is understood that l?ge capitalists are here and represented to incorporate the American Pine Fibre Company, with ample capital to produce fine fibre bag? ging for .covering cotton bales, on very large scale. Great improvements have been made of late In this ne^y industry, and the promoters are now shipping pine bagging daily into various sections of the .cotton belt for the purpose of introducing J the uew product, which it is claimed will solve the bagging question for the cotton planters of the South, and relieve tb em , ot the exactions of the jute combination. I PENDLETON'S GALA WEEK. The Joint Meeting of the State Grange and State Agricultural and Mechanical So? ciety?The Stock Show?The Fruit Ex? hibit-Large Crowds Present, etc. Old Pendleton has added another lung page to her already long history, and the general verdict of the thousands of visi? tors who were within her gates last week attending the joint meeting of the State Grange and State Agricultural and Me? chanical Society, and'witnessing the stock, exhibit and fruit .show, which was beld under the supervision of the Pendleton Farmers' Society, is that the occasion was one of the most successful and most inter? esting ever held within the borders of South Carolina. The clever people of the town had thrown open their hospitable homes, and the delegates to the meeting wore met upon their arrival and assigned homes, and every attention possible was paid them during their stay. Wednesday morning, at 11 o'clock, the first session of the joint meeting was called to order in the hall of the Male Academy by the President, Col. John B. Humbert. After prayer by Rev. Mr. Clark son, Col. B. W. Simpson, on behalf of Intendant Sitten, extended a cordial welcome to the assemblage, which was followed by the regular address of wel? come, delivered by Maj. A. T. Smythe, of Charleston, to which President Humbert responded. This was followed by .an address from Capt. D. K. "Nbrris, Presi? dent^ the Pendleton Society, on behalf of the Society, which was responded to by the Master of the State Grange, Hon. W. K. Thompson. All of these addresses were both eloquent and interesting. The first essay was read by Dr. T. J. McKee, of Edgefield, on "The preserva? tion or land by terracing vs.. hillside ditching." This was an exceedingly in? teresting paper, and provoked much dis? cussion, ten or more of the delegates par? ticipating, every one of whom presented some valuable suggestions. This discus? sion consumed the morning hour. In the afternoon an essay on the subject of "Grape Culture and Wine-making" was read by Mr. J. J. Lucas, of Society Hill, followed by another on the "Value of cotton seed meal as a food for stock," by Dr. W. B. Burnoy, State Chemist. Both of these papers were well prepared and elicited considerable discussion. This closed the'day's session, and every? body retired to their homes looking for? ward to the morrow, which was to be the big day of the occasion. Visitors contin? ued to arrived throughout the day, and every home in the town as well as in the surrounding country was doing its best to entertain them. Thursday morning dawned cloudy aud with threatening rain, but this did not' keep the people away. At an early hour every road leading into Pendleton was lined with vehicles of every sort bringing in tbo people, and when the excursion trains reached there nt 101 o'clock the crowd' in attendance was estimated at from five to six thouuand people. The clouds soon disappeared, and the day was a very pretty one, with a delightful mountain breeze blow'ng all day. At 10 o'clock the joint meeting was called to order by President Humbert, who introduced Congressman Cothran, who, in a most excellent address, dis? cussed the "Dignity of Labor." His speech was a very able one, and was full oi practical and forcible thoughts. When Col. Cothran concluded his address, Col. T. J. Moore,' of Spartanburgt read an essay on "Forage Crops," which he dis? cussed in a very thorough manner. This concluded the exercises for the day, and those present went to the beautiful grove that surrounds the Episcopal Church,, where the Stock Show was being held. The Stock Show was the feature of the day, and by 10 o'clock, at which hour the exhibition began, the grove was crowded with men, women and children, all eager to get a glimpse of the fine stock, which was exhibited in a small ring that had been staked off for the purpose. The Young America Cornet Band;of this city, and the Pendleton Colored Band dis? coursed fine music at intervals through? out the day. By request of the Committee of Arrange? ments, Col. Alfred Aid rich, of Barn well, and Maj. T. L. Partlow, of Fairfield, acted as judges of the horse department, and Capt. O. P. Mills, of Greenville, judge of the cattle department. The first class of horses called was atandard bred stallions, over 3 years old. There were only two entries. J. E. Lewis's stallion, Margin, was awarded the| first pri2e, ?5, and J. W.

Thus closed one of the best exhibitions of stock ever seen in the State. "We heard a gentleman say that he had never seen a better lot of colts exhibited at anv of the Btock shows that he bad attended in the blue grass regions of Kentucky. All of the horses and cattle were beauties, and proves conclusively that this section of Sonth Carolina is well adapted to the raising of stock. Throughout the day the exhibition of fruit, which took place in Farmers' Hall, attracted a large crowd of visitors, all of whom were amazed at the grand display made. In the grape department, the Oco nee Grapers' Association exhibited fifty seven varieties, together with several bot? tles of grape wine and one bottle of black? berry wine. There were a dozen or more exhibitors in this department, several of whom were from Anderson County. After seeing this exhibit, we are convinc? ed that the Piedmont section can't be ex? celled for growing grapes. There were also a number of fine specimens of pears, apples, peaches and other fruits and vege? tables on exhibition, all of which were greatly admired. Mr. J. M. Glenn, of this County, exhibited some fine Japaneso plums, which attracted a great deal of attention. Mr. T. 0. Sanders, of Sumter, S. C, had on exhibition a 70-i r>und wa? termelon, whick was perhaps the largest ever grown in the State. During the afternoon a meeting was held and the Horticultural Society of South Carolina was organized with twenty-eight members. The following officers were elected: President, H. B. Buist, Greenville; Vice-President, J. C. Anderson, Spartanburg; Secretary, G. Wanner, Walhalla; Treasurer, G. W. Gig nilliat, Seneca ; Executive Committee, H. B. Buist, J. C. Anderson, G. Wanner, G. W. Gignilliat, H. S. Trescot, J. H. O'Neal and B. B. Tillman. Any person may become a member of this Society by send? ing his name and one dollar to the Society. Across the street from the Hall Mr. John L. Jolly, of Denver, had a number of his fine English Beagle Dogs on exhi? bition, which attracted many admirers. Mr. S. D. Cherry, of Seneca, also had on exhibition his fine imported Pointer, one of the prettiest dogs we have ever seen, Both these gentlemen are thoroughly posted in the dog business, and are breed? ing them for sale. It was a late hour before the people left the grounds, and, despite the large crowd present, the best of order prevailed throughout the day. Friday morning the Farmers' Institute, which was held under the auspices of the State Board of Agriculture, convened at 10 o'clock in the Academy building, being largely attended by farmers and ladies. Gen. Johnson Hagood, Chairman of the Board, presided, and, after a few appro? priate remarks, introduced Col. D. P. Duncan, of Union, who made the open? ing address. He was followed by Chan? cellor W. D. Johnson, of Marion, who read an essay on "The use of nitrate of soda as a fertilizer." Col. J. C, Coit, of Cheraw, next read a paper on ."What has been the leading cause of failure among Southern farmers since the war?" Prof. M. Whitney, of the State Experimental Station, followed this with an essay enti? tled, "Are fertilizers more profitable a1; the South than at the North?" Col. J. H. Bice, of Abbeville, concluded the pro? gramme by delivering an address on "How can our rivers and streams be pre? vented from filling with sand?" All of these essays and addresses were exceed? ingly interesting, and much Information gained from them by thoso present. ""After adopting the following resolution by a unanimous vote, the Institute ad? journed : Resolved, That the thanks of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and the Grange and the State Board of Agri? culture are due and are hereby most hear? tily tendered to the citizens ;of the town and to the Pendleton Farmers' Society for the kind hospitality extended to the members of the several bodies during their stay in their midst. - During the afternoon there were some races and an exhibition of trotting horses, which were witnessed by a large crowd of interested spectators. The following car? ried off the ribbons: Best single harness horse, over 4 years First prize, J. D. Thompson; second, John Shelor. Best single harness horse, under 4 years ?First prize, J. M. Kazor, Abbeville; second J. A. Shanklin. Best single harness mare?First prize, J. P. Lewis; second F. J. Pelzer. Best single harness horse, any age or sex?First prize, J. E. Lewis ; second, J. D. Thompson. This ended the Stock Show and the Summer Meeting of tho State Agricultu? ral Society. The occasion attracted many of the leading and most intelligent far? mers from every section of the State, every one of whom, no doubt, has gone home feeling amply repaid for the time spent in being present. The Pendleton Farmers' Society de? serve the many congratulations it has re? ceived upon the success of the Stock Show. The various committees worked hard, and managed every feature of the occasion most admirably. The Society, vye think, shpuld now make the Stock Show a permanent thing, and have an exhibition every Summer. With a small capital, suitable grounds could be purchased, a racing track made and other conveniences provided, and in a short time it would attract the attention of stockmen from every section of the country. It would also tend to encourage and push the stock busiuess in this coun? try, and in a few years tho upper section of South Carolina could not be excelled for raising fine horses, mules and cattle. Pendleton Items. Three great days in the history of Pen? dleton have past and gone, the happy throng of seven thousand people has left us, but the recollections of these three days will remain long in our memory. The Joint Summer Meeting, the Stock Show and the Fruit Exhibit were a suc? cess in tho highest degree. The Stock Show was the best ever held in this place, and was second to none ever held in the State. Tho Fruit Exhibit, though in its incipiency, was all that could have been wished for, and is tho beginning of great things in this line in our State. With no disparagement to tho other speeches and essays-^-for they wero all good?we would mention especially the excellent address of the Hon. J. S. Cothran, on Thursday morning, on "The Dignity of Labor, or Worthiness of La? bor," as he more appropriately termed his subject. He said that most of the Presidents and great men of our country sprang from the abodes of toil and labor. Andrew Jackson, who claimed South Car? olina as his birth-place, with the simple patrimony of a horse, bridle and saddle, went cantering down the lane leading from his humble, log-cabin home, with .the parting injunction of his mother ring? ing in his ears: "My son, never take the -lie nor sue any one for slander." After paying a beautiful tribute to the memory of two of our lamepted citizens but lately deceased, as exemplifying his subject, he entered into au exhaustive discussion of the negro problem, which he said he did not consider insoluble, but that time alone could and would solve it. The negro is with us, and to stay, and it would be wise in us to make the most of him. His labor is better suited to our climate and sur? roundings than any imported labor, and he stands as a barrier between us and til' hiliats and other objectionable classes with which tho North and Northwest are troubled. This he humorously illustrated by an anecdote of an old darkey's dream. The darkey hed B dream one night which very much impressed him. 1'he next morning he went to his master and said: "Massa, I bad a strange dream lost night." "Well, Cuffy, what did you dream?-' "Massn, I dreamed I died and wont to the had place." "Well, Cuffy, wliat did you see down there?" "I seed a heap of peo? ple, sah." "Did you see any white peo? ple?" "Yes, sab, lots of'em." "Did you see any negroes?" "Yes, sab, a heap of dem, too." "Well, what were they all doing, Cuffy?" "Well, Massa, every white man I seed had a nigger holding 'twixt him and de fire." We would like to give a full synopsis of the speech, as there were many excellent points in it, but space will not permit. Independently of the great influx of people to our town recently as a result of the reputation of our town as a summer resort, our Stock Show, etc., our popula? tion is steadily and permanently increas? ing. A late arrival of a little girl at the home of one of our prominent citizens causes him to wear happy smiles. Rev. John T. McBryde, of Marshall, Texas, preached an excellent sermon in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning to a largo and attentive congre? gation. Zed. Southern Baptists in Lock. Louisville, August 12.?The heirs of the brothers William F. and George W. Norton, deceased millionaires of this city, have decided to give ?60,000 to the build? ing fund of the Southern Baptist Theo'J og ? ical Seminary, moved here from South Carolina a few years ago. Both brothers made princely gifts to the Seminary dur? ing their lifetime. Fighting the Jntc Trnst. Montgomery, Ala., August 7.?The State Farmers' Alliance of Alabama, now in session at Auburn, has adopted the following resolution:' "Resolved, That the members of the Farmers' Alliance reiterate their deter? mination to use cotton bagging for wrapping cotton, and will, under no cir? cumstances, use jute ; and that this reso? lution be transmitted to the convention of Commissioners of Agriculture of the Southern States, to meet in the city of New York on the 9th inst., and by that body be presented to the Cotton Ex? change." ? The story is told of Ex-Congress? man Charles M. Shelly, who represen? ted an Alabama district where the ne? groes form a large majority, that he once gained his election by an arrangement with Forepangh to exhibit his show at Selma on election day. Free excursion trains were run from all parts of the dis? trict to Selma, and all the negroes ad? mitted to the performance without price. Seven thousand colored brethren availed themselves of the privilege and lost their votes thereby. For Sale.
