the up-country, and has receivoil so
many favorable comments, that it has
been secured for publication in the
jWeics and Courier 011 Wodnesday
next. The improvement of our 00mmon
schools is a subject that is engaging
more than ever beforo the thoughts
and attention of the progressive men of
the State, and this essay is a valuable
and timely contribution to tho literature
on tho subject.
John Wobs Uykard is like Gen.Clingman
of N C., a firm believer in the efficacy
of tobacco as a medical agent. He informs
us that ho was cured of an almost
fatal case of rheumatism by the application
of wet tobacco leaves. And that
a few days ago one of his children was
suffering from severe pains in tho leg.
After trying nearly everything else in
vain he used tobacco and the little one
was almost instantly releived. We beleive
that General Olingman has written
a treatise 011 this subject. It may be
there is something in it. At any rate it
is well to remember it.

When in Augusta and desiring anything
in tho stove line you should not
fail to call on Mr. W. 1. Delpli, .who is
an extensivo dealer in such commod
ities. You will find Mr. Delph quite a
courteous, polite and obliginggentleman
and he will sell you goods ns cheap as
the cheapest. Look out for his advermcnt
in our next issue.
Our townsman M. 1\ DoBruhl, Esqy
made a narrow escape from fire on last
Saturday night. A' lamp on the table
was accidentally unset, and tho u-linlo

presence of mind of those present alone
saved tho house and tho flame was
smothered out before much damage was
done.
Prof. Wistnr Archer, of Virginia arrived

Miss Brooks the lady assistant who was

We regret to hear of the extreme illness
of Mr. L. K. Bowie's child. It is
suffering from pneumonia. We trust
the good Lord will spare this babe toils
parents. But if He take it hence he
will give them strength to bear the
edict of Him. who said '"Suffer little
children to come-unto ine."
The Her, 11. N. Pratt, now of Bennetsville,
returned last week to visit us for
a day or two here in his old home. We
were (ill glad to see him, and to know
he is contented and prosperous in his
new home. A host of friends here
wish him and his, prosperity and happiness
all their lives.

' The Sow Deal-Party Declared Itself.
Pursuant to a call published in last 4l
week's papers, nino citizens of Abbeville
assembled in the.. Court House to
nominate a ticket for the support of all
true and staunch Democrats at the next V
election for intendnnt and wardens.
One could depict on the faces pf this little
band Arm determination to 1
'"wring" their dourly beloved town from
the loathsome grasp of fing bosses aud at
intrigues. So much had they heard of S
late, from one versed on the subject of
such political monsters that they were .
troubled with the consciousness that
oven they, notwithstanding the purest
intention might still, belong to a "ring"
or be under the dominion of some ti
"Boss" without., even knowing it. si
It was with these noble ends in view
that the people's man. M. (j. Zeigler,
was called to the chair. In order to ^
prevent any log rolling and the grinding n)
of special axes, before ' any "mug
?umjjs iuignt appear upon me sceno
and disclose tho wornings of soino "ring" in
or"boss," Cupt. W. T. Branch, who dis- ai
claimed all conucction with n "ring,"
though according to a very late author!- te
ty he confessed ho might still belong to
one "unbeknowings" to himself, arose
and in a few wcdl chosen remaks do- ^
clared that for tho safety of the dear
people's rights, that a "Netv Deal" was
and should be tho order of the day is
and without further parleying he loudly M
contended that the "Old Ticket" should ni
be nominated. fr
Mr. L. W. Smith, was also opposed to re
"rings" and objected to such "Bossism" S3
as to nominato "Old Ticket" under pretence
of "New Deal." lie began to sc
think, that notwithstanding all dis- ca
claimed tho fact, this meeting must be sc
under the dominion of a "ring." Ho '
luid a serious charge to make against ^
present incumbents. If he had been w

Mr. Branch repudiated the idea of rQ

The election for Town Council passed
o'ff very quietly on last Monday. The
casual observer would never have taken
it to be an election day. There was c|)
little interest manifested in it, as there |0
was no opposition whatever, to the old
council. Out of about one hundred and
seventy-five voters, there were only fifty-seven
votes polled. The following
gentlemen compose the council and all st<
re ceived the same number of votes. of

Rev. I)r. Burkbead has been prcnching
in the Presbyterian church morning ot'
and night, since Sunday last. Great
crowds flock to hear the eloquent divine Pft
and his sermons are calculated to do a
great deal of good. There is nothing
sensational about Dr. Burkhcad, SOl
though he is a very successful t),(
revivalist. He appeals to the reason
of his hearers and docs not attempt
to"\vork upon their feelings. His
sermons are a connoctod series and so Mi
fur have proved .masterly efforts in behnlf
of the christian dispensation. Tho R*
meeting will probably continuo tho rest
of tho week and will doubtles? result in
much good to all the denominations.
