A five mile drive behind an Abbott
l?ony on Friday last carried tho editor
of this paper over some beautiful L%U
rons landscape, and the view was well
calculated to enhance his admiration
of his native land. The route wus over
What wo call the old Greenville road,
and tbo objective point was the hospi
table home of that veteran fanner, Mr.
Ambrose II. Martin. Hard by bis
country homo is ono of tho venerable
mooting houses of the county,tho Chest
nut Ridge Baptist Church, where a
protracted service WAS being conducted,
by tho zealous and able Castor, Mr. 13.
J. Woodward, assisted by a very able,
zealous and consecrated Minister, Kov.
Mr. Deriuex, of Virginia. Tho audi
ence embraced a wide neighborhood,
men, women, and children, who for
moral worth and intelligence relleet
honor upon the good citizenship of tho
county. The preliminary morning
nervlce was beautifully conducted by
the Castor, Rov. Mr. woodward, fol
lowed by a splendid sermon by Kev.
Mr. Deriuox. Great interest in tho
services prevails under these most In
torosting exercises and the meeting
will continue.
At tho conclusion of the services,
with our interesting companion, B.,
wo repaired to the hospitable mansion
of Mr. Martin, where with Iiis interest
ing family ami pleasant gacsts, a most
delightful afternoon, in old Laurens,
unpretending fashion, was enjoyed.
The dinner, that would honor an old
Virginia mansion, was as De?r of home
production entire as possible: A home
raised ham. the fried chickens, the
savory beef, the juicy green corn, to
mattoes, Irish and sweet potatoes (of
this season), the melons and everything
that grows in our glorious elimo at tho
industrious hand of man. There was j
nothing exotic but the suit, tho pepper
and the codec a glorious South Caro
lina dinner?even these last might have
been omitted as the talk ran along in
true condiment fashion, salty and pep
pery enough to savour a hospitable
meal as it should be. It was a stormy
afternoon and Neptune reigned making
our trip a sort of voyage, but from the
porticoes and pia/as of Mr. Martin's
mansion, we could look out upon his
broad and expansive cotton fields ex
tending as far as tho eyo can roach.
The scene is beautiful, the farm being
ouo of the prettiest in all our coun
try.
We cannot forget the hearty welcome
and tenders of hospitality from friends
at Chestnut Ridge. It is character
istic?one of the wonderful features of
our county being the whole-souled
band-shake and hearty "come home
with me to dinner,'' that meets the vis
itor from every father and mother.
At the church we met the fair daugh
ter of an old soldier comrade, (one of
the gallant couriers of General M. W.
Gary,) tho fair lady and proud husband
holding tho brightest, llashing-eyed,
two year old bravo boy we havo had
the fortune to look upon.
We saw fair crops from the curb-stone
on: Col. Simpson's, Mr. Tom Lakc'e.W.
II. Martin's. Mr. James Mill, Gus
Shell anil Albert Teague all have beau
tiful cotton. Our friend lawyer Mar
tin has a Held of corn particularly
good. In fact, the upland com, peas
and potatoes, all look promising and
the indications are a fat harvest this
Fall for this particular neighborhood.
It was a delightful outing and diver
sion for an editor who wearies with
Bhip'SUbsidles, and whose heart and
eyes and BOUl are brightened at
the spread of a glorious old-fashioned
Luurons dinner.
Wilson, of the Abbeville Cress and
Banner, is a young batohelor of three
score and ten. Hero is the way he
breaks out:
"Yesterday evening a trio of as beau
tiful young ladles as ever graced au
editor's sanctum or made glad tho
heart of devoted worshipper, paid a
short visit to the ollioe of the Press anil
Banner, namely: Miss Linda Syfan,
Miss Mattie Purdy, and Miss Sarah
Klugb. Young and hopeful they aro
without a care or a trouble, The earth
itself seems to them as an Eden tilled
with roses, happiness and sunshine,
where lovers are faithful and every
thing is lovely. Klowers and bonnets,
blooms and feathers, dresses and rib
bons, and beauty fill the air with a
swoetness surpassing odors from the
spicy shores of Araby the blost."
One divinity at a time, brother, will
do hotter. For tho occasion, we sug
gest these lines twenty-live hundred
years old and from a dear creature at
that:
"Blessed as the immortal Gods is ho,
The youth who fondly sits by thee,
And hoars and sees thec all tho while,
Softly speak, and sweetly smile."
"D. W. D." writing ir. the (ireenvlllc

one in his head, and he'll bo hero to

foreign visitors on tho Exposition
grounds next winter.
Tho largo attendance from Laurens
at Olemson last week is a prophecy of

tho near future It means that our
agricultural friends mean that two oars

There wan a notable reunion of the
McDavld family, at Williamston on tho

ly social, with many representatives.
The orlg'nal ancestor and founder of
the family, prominent in all the South

Tumbling Shoals in 17f>f>. Among those
attending, and wo'l known in J.aurens,
were Capt George W. Sullivan, Mra.
B. P. Arnold and Miss Janlo Sullivan.
From Williamston correspondence,
Greenville News, we quote:
"Allen MoDavidi who married Tere
sa Acker, exhibited two beautiful bed
epreads, tho handy work of the mother,
at the gathering. The cotton was pick
ed, seeded, carded, spun and woven
into most beautiful llgiiros in raised

(Jill's Irl,) Killed,
ci Hi's Irby. & negro convict, was shot
and instantly killed yesterday after
noon by one of the penitentiary guards,
Mr. westbury. The accident, for it
was an aceident, ocourred on the Broad
river road near the city pest house,
distant from the city about a mile and
a half.
The coroner went out to view the
body yesterday afternoon and author
ized its removal to the penitentiary,
where the inquest will be held tins
morning at 0 o'clock.
It appears that the guards and con
victs had just come out of an old ware
house where they had taken shelter
from the rain, and the guards were at
the front, the convicts being at the
back of the house. Westbury was
handling the Winche.-ter belonging to
Bray; he had his hand on the trigger
witli the gun leveled in front of him,
when the rille went oil' half corked.
Simultaneous with the dring, Irby
came around the corner of the house
and received the bullet in his side, and
was felled in his tracks.
Irby had been sentenced some is
months ago to six years, having been i
convieued of criminal assault on a ne
gro girl in Laurens county. The au
thorities state that his record at tho
penitentiary had been such as to war
rants his transfer to the "trusty" list.
Irby was about B6 years old.
The affair is a matter of deep regret
to the guard, as well as to those pre
sent who are quite aware of its entirely
accidental character,
This morning the body will be buried
by the prison authorities.
The bullet passed almost through
the convict's body, killing him almost
instantly.?The State.
To TllK ADVEKTISKR it looks like
criminal carelessness, and that the
guard should be under a safeguard. A
"guard" should handle a gun in a way
if accidentally discharged it would do
no harm.

Negro Labor Suits the South.
It is really astonishing how much at
tention is given to the negro in the
North and Northwest. There is one
thing patent, the Northwest does not
desire him, and Pennsylvania will re
volt if he is to become a rival of while
labor in that State. The Messengei
has again and again said the South was
friendly to the negro -understood and
appreciated tho negro, and that the
South was a much better section for bi>
development and happiness than the
great, rich, prejudiced, evil-minded,
censorious North. Tho negro is not
the ideal servant that ignoranco in tho
I North paints. Ho is not the trilling.
Interior laborer that sweeping oonocm
i nation by many millions charge in
their bill by Indictment. There is a
large class of laborers who will not
stick in good fishing time, in fruit
fathering time. In camp-meeting time,
and so on. But leaving out ol Ihu
count "the bad nigger with a Winehe -
j tor," and the lazy, lounging, tramping
[ negroes who always seem to be out ol
a job, the negro laborers as a w hole aro
the best that the South can probably
secure in many years, if ever, and af
ter united diligent seeking. Wilming

would lie ever willing to defend with
her life, if necos*ary tin honor of her
God, her country and her tlag. The
bridegroom was compelled to swear
that he would split the wood,carry the
water, shovel tho snow, build the tire
?and under any lind ail circumstances
try to bo a perfect gentleman. Instead
of return n-.: her devotion with slurs
and scowls ho would repay it with

short on girl-. Uecd wound up this
