Ball, Proprietor, LAUUENS. S. Cm Aug. 21, 1001. Kultur in Clover. 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 News from the Olemson Institute Aug. 13th, has this to say of 0110 of our wide awake farmers : "A question box has not been pro vided, but Col. J. D. M, Shaw carries one in his head, and he'll bo hero to day." Miller Curry who supplies the city V tendor roasts from llabbtown, the Gosnen of Laurens, brought down nice tender lamb last week. This reminds that the McLaurin lambs aro to be found mostly in Groenvillo and Spar tan burg. * * ? Sir Thomas Lipton ison tho briny deep enrouto to Now York for the cup con test in Heptembor in which his yacht is tho contestant. We hope ho may win as ho seems to be a jolly good follow and the sons of John Hull are generally with un now. It looks now like Charleston moans to enforce tho Dispensary law and that Tillman's friend, Ohicc.o, might coino to grief. And we. may listen for some X?grained editor to suggest that Charleston wants gilded saloons for foreign visitors on tho Exposition grounds next winter. Tho largo attendance from Laurens at Olemson last week is a prophecy of intelligent practico of agriculturo In tho near future It means that our agricultural friends mean that two oars of corn and two heads of wheat must grow where one has grown bofore. C. P. Hims, Esq., an attorney at law, of Spartanburg, announces that ho will be a candidate next year for Cultod states Senate. Further, that ho will givo tho other candidates somothing to think about. *** Laurens Farmer No. I. ?I am grave ly considering getting a corn schrod dor. Farmer No. 2.? Have, you considered whero you are to get your corny The MoDavld's. There wan a notable reunion of the McDavld family, at Williamston on tho 11th instant. The occasion was eminent ly social, with many representatives. The orlg'nal ancestor and founder of the family, prominent in all the South was .lames MoDavid who settled near 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 work. In tho center of one was tho Inscription beneath an eagle with out* spread" wings: "Immortal may their memory bo who fought for liberty. Teresa C. Acker, 1826." Tho letters wore worked in indigo blue thread, Idyed from indigo, and ra'sod by the fair seamstress." * ? Want Education. After Spartan burg and Greenville, Anderson, Walhalla, and Spearman's Mill (Nowborry county,) want the cam paign speakers on the last days of this mouth. As the questions discussed be long to political economy, and our Lau rens friends and readers are content with present light, wo append the fol lowing current but pertinent joke go ing the rounds, for outsidors: Old Nogro: "Say, Cunuell, whot am political economy?" Kentucky Colonel: "Political econ omy, Sambo, is the removal of the greatest number of your political ene mies with tho least possible waste of ammunition." IlortlouMurc ami the Ladies. At Clenison Mr. C. C. Newman lec tured upon this suhjoct dealing with the improvement of tho varieties of fruits indigenous to this State, Bud ding and grafting wero diseusscd and ho showed how tho operations wore done. They are practical, and elcgaut arts. Ladles might woll learn p.nd practice them, and leave their husbands and brothers to be cottontots. The time is soon coming when the fruits will bo essential articles of living and commerce in this part of the country. * * * The State Board. Tho Stato Equalization Board met in Columbia last week, but did not complete their work, incomplete re turns fix valuation of cotton mills for taxation at $10,295,814; Laurons'.\ mills at $.101 :tf<?; Cotton Oil Mills in the State, $754,317: Laurena oil Mill, $27, '.?00: number of employees, 48,088; esti I mated population mill settlement, 1)9,(1*20. Our figures, obtained from News and Courier, though incomplete, will be of interest. * a ? Be Ye Up and Doing. Tho prosperous condition of the Laurcns Furniture Factory, evidenced by proposed enlargement of tho orig inal capital, ought to encourage Lau rens capitalists to new enterprises. The successful admininistratioos of Presidents Lucas, Hudgens and Wilkes oyor largo Industries speak volumes for their businoss qualifications. There are others who can do as well. ?** ??The Old Oaken Bucket." We call tho attention of tho city fathers to a democratic use of the well bucket on tho North of the Square. Two stalwart cold water devotees were seen last week to turn up tho bucket and swig of the contents. An old fash ioned gourd might bo supplied.

The death of this distinguished phy sician in Charleston has excited the universal sympathy of the great com munity in which he lived. lie was a martyr to bis profession, tho rich and the poor had his devoted attontlon, es peeially the latter class, and all classes unito in a common movement to raise a substantial memorial in his honor. * * Long Kangc.

(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. BKEWE1&T0N ITEMS. Wo have had line rains in broken doses this week, and all crops are on a boom. Turnip sowing and preparing the land for sowing is the order of the day. Fruit of all kinds seems to he very Rorry. Peaches arc very small and rot ting and falling before ripening.

What is the matter with our county Supervisor*.-' Be has commissioned two captains to ovor-see one road sectson of two miles, John Docks and John Thomas. John Thomas called out the hands and all responded except Mr. Heeks' individual force and did a good job. Mr. Editor and gentlemen of Laurens county, I think we have a poor road law, and I know we have poor roads, and fear they will never be any better until we have them worked by taxation. There is a section of road in Waterloo township, beginning at the Sullivan line on A. Hull's place to Jerry Mar tin's which has not iiad a decent working in many years. I hope the Supervisor will see that it will get a good working before Winter sets in by bringing the convict force and hav ing it done. ON Dn.

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.
