The Press and Banner, ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday. August 17.1881. Do we Not Need a Rest I Ts it not time to call a halt in the matter of frolicking awl dani-iiis;? We are Ir, nn ivii- tl> 11 littlo ilitlOOt'Ilt! amusement nor do we at all object to a J reasonable amount of honest mirth, but when It comes to making; it a weekly or fortnightly or even a monthly occurrence, the year round, the propriety seems questionable. Wo may be allj wrong, but we are inclined to the opinion | that parties should be invited together at' the instance of the proprietor of the house in which the young people meet. As some of the "sociables" are now conducted, and have been for tlie hist two or three years, we aro of opinion that nobody is particularly responsible for the firesence or conduct of anybody. We be- j ieve these gatherings have been characterized by conduct entirely unexcep-| tionable, but it is their frequency tlrjit gives the best grounds for objection. W?1 merely call attention to a matter which has been impressed upon our mind, and leave othors more directly interested than j we are, to decide a question which is not, without interest to every citizen. In this rto reference is made to the dan-j cing schdril now in progress. We are in j favor of the school, and believe in people ( la.irninrr tr> iljuwrv ft is a srraceful acconi-! plishment, but then we are not certain that it is \vell for a community to engage! continually in the practice of that art. | Let the young people learn to dance, hut I give them a little rest now ami then.! There Is an old maxim altont familiarity, [ which we have forgotten, but whvh may i be remembered by some of our readers, and if so, that maxim may furnish a forcible reason Cor reflecting on the force of the suggestion which we here make. Bacchus Allen, a colored man near] Abbeville village, without mule or ox, rented eight acres of laud, which hej planted in cotton. Upot) this crop he got! a $12 lien. Some of the best farmers in J the neignborhood now estimate hiscrcpj at three bolls to the acre. These are. facts. We learn that a farmer in this bounty planted one hundred acres of his! own lind in cotton, under which he put six tons of guano, for which he paid $240 cash: About $1,000 of his own tnon ey nas oeen expeuueu m mr vum ( of the land. He now proposes to pick, gin, and deliver his whole crop for seven j bales. The difference between the conn-, try farmer and Bacchus is: Bacchus made $12, less twenty-four bolls, while! the farmer lost $1,(>jU, less seven bales Cotton, plus $2K) paid for guano. These facts go to show what a great blessing the lien law is to the poor tnan, who may so; easily procure his rations before he does any work at all, while the industrious, j hard Working farmer has to sustain his! o\\ n losses. Mr. John J. C'hkatham. of Flasi Reed, is a man who will prosper. He has. wenty acras of swamp land, which need- j d ditching and cleaning to make it pn?f-j . able in the production of corn. In or-j der to get sulfi<-ient fall to drain his land, he commenced a ditch a half mile below , his land, and is now at work digging; that ditch the whole length of his farm, j He is notspending a million of dollars j on the job, either. During the leisure, season in the crops he hires hands and goes into the ditch with tllem, and throws; as much dirt as any of them. Long agoj n? /.urttii-rflndfl ??' fllW Irillll WOllNl llOll have excited comment, but now when the majority of white men would sooner j be poor and dependent than to work, wej mention it as an exceptional case. If ail ] bur young farmers would .vork in this way thev would soon be independently rich. Mr. Cheatham will hereafter have born to sell to his improvident neighbors. Two negro women, Bella and Fannie Davis, were brought before Jntlge Cotli-' ran yesterday on a writ of haben* corpus.! They were committed by Trial Justice j McOaslan, for "breaking and entering a j meat bouse in the day time," and Wore ! ordered to be discharged from the custody i of the Sheriff upon giving each a bond of j two hundred dollars for their appearance at the next Court of Sessions for AUbe- j ville countv. Messrs. I). H. Magill and | W. O. Bradley represented the prisoners! and Mr. T; P." Cothran the .State. Mr. Jj H. Edwards, sewing machine i adjuster and renovater,is in to .vn. He is J a master machinist, and will adjust any machine and make it work as well as new. He is highly recommended in this! and ether States. Can l>e found at the Abbeville Hotel. All orders will receive prompt attention. 2t Mr. Eugene DuPre, after "laving by" his crop took a contract to ilo some work for the County Commissioners. I What have you done since you laid by, jrour crop ? Have you cleared any land, "dug any ditches, removed any rafts from J the creek, split any boards, or built any | houses? Clear your bottom lands, remove the I rafts and logs from tlie streams, ditch vour lands, and next Spring plant corn. The advantage of clearing now is, that the roots die, and do not sprout in the Spring. Ladies l>e sure to look at those beauti-1 ful black crepe cloths, pretty full calicoes, bleached and brown homespuns and other desirable goods just received, so very bheap, at the Emporium of Fashions. Corn will be high next year, and you ought to sow barley now. It will not prevent you from planting the same ground in corn next Spring. Get the aeed from W. J. Smith A Sou. A protracted meeting is now going On in the Methodist Church. Regular preaching Is had at half past eight o'clock at night, and prayer meetings are held at the same hour in'the morning. The death of the greatest number of inulesand horses next Spring can be prevented by sowing barley now. \V. J. Smith A Son have excellent seed'you can get for $1.50; Mr. A. J; Clinkscales of this conn- ' ty, has enough old corn to last him until Chiistmas. If he can raise corn enough to supply his farm, why can you not do the same t Irish potatoes won id be a great luxury next Winter, ami you ought to be ashamed of yourself if you dont plant a crop now. It will soon be too late. Hurry! up. A wind storm passed over the Peters- j burg section last Sunday, blowing down 1 trees and some houses. There was also blow about Dr. Taggart's on Saturday. ! JtTDOE Lyon, lias been all over Texas, j and he saw no place half the equal of AIj- j beville. The crops there have suffered ; inorefor rain than our crops. Oat seed will be scarce. You would do well to get your seed at once and sow; largely. The oat crop never failsj if it is town at the proper time. The Lord helps those who help themselves. Those of our farmers who plant-1 fed corn on bottom land, and plowed deep j have not suffered for rain. All kinds of dress goods, millinery, i light colored prints, and such goods now ! on hand closing out cheap, cheap, at thet Emporium of Fashions. Bow barley. There Is no crop that win : pay stock raisers so well, and as a money j crop it has no superior. You will find! seed at Smith & Son. Rev. R. W. Seymour is determined! to have oats enough. He has already Commenced to sow. His bead is level on! the oat question. If the weather is a little hot, you will j find it greatly to your advantage to be at j some profitable work. No farmer should ' be idle; Be sure to sow your oats in time. If the work is delayed until late it is a question of seasons, whether it makes a crop or noL Ir you have an acre of bottom land, bow it in barley now. It can be cut off next Spring in plenty of time to plant j corn. Be independent of the stores, by sow-' ing wheat, oats, barley. Messrs Vv. Joel | Smith & Son can furnish the seed bar-; ley; Now is the time to plant Irish pota-' toes, and ten changes to one, you are, making no preparations to plant a seed. Miss Jennie Marshall of our town, farho has been on a visit to her sister in Charleston, came home last Friday. Last week was excessively hot, but Mohday night the weather turned much oooler, as predicted by Vennor. Thomas and Tabitha have nightly j serenaded the Alston House for several | nights in succession^ Returned.?Mrs. H. G. Pinckney, of Charleston, is on a visit to her father, Dr. J. W. W. Marshall. If the lien Idw were repealed the mules; rand horses of this county would die for( :the want of feed. Farmers go to work iti earnest. Make your arrangements now for oats, barley, and wheat. Sow turnips. Tboy are good for man #nd beast. Now is the time to sow them. Evert tnsa owning a farm should sow , twice as much wheat as ho expects to! jaeed. Every farmer who expects to keep the fibetfff from his door will sow red oats. Is yonr wagon standing in the weather f If so prepare a shed for it now. What are you doing about sowing a large crop of small grain? Mr. C. H. Liirriur Jf, of Wbtoe Hall is plowing his stubble fields. N<rv is the tfme. to kill year willows. They die If Cut in August.

Tiic girl addressed look" I up into lib face, with n smilo that- displayed! two rows of pfcnrly teeth. "You want somebody to bother you," she said. "Why, Jule, all the time I would be in tha road, and John I would stop the Fdgoletta, and leave ' licr in disgust. jr you kuow wnat id good for yourself, keep away from mo!" lie laughed, and said: '"Yes, I know you'll go down with me on the engine. The ride is so exciting, and, just think, we will lake Governor Knox and his #taiT down to-, morrow night. John will lx- glad to have an angel on the engine, and you know what Bradley thinks of you." Hetty MeFarland yielded to the en-! treaties of tho young fireman, be-; fore the Jtigoletta threw smoke rings heavenward, and moved oil like a' monarch. The sun was setting behind tho hills in tho rear of the town, and the girl | waved her lover good-by, as she I turned toward her home. Fifty miles south of Stanton, in the city of Hamilton, dwelt Hetty McFarland's uuelo, whom the girl had long thought of visiting. Therefore, to t-nrrv nut hi?r tmrttasa. nrom ised to go clown on the Iiigoletta tho following night. She knew that conductor Bradley would hot object to her presence on the engine, for he was the politest conductor of the road, and was in- i debted to her for the many well-chosen; bouquets he wore during the flower season. Then, as Julias had said, a ride on' the engiue would be so exciting, and with such good fellows as her lover' and John Nixon, the engineer, she ; anticipated a pleasant time. "When the Iligolctta, oiled.and pol*; Ishod till her machinery and mountings glistened like burnished silver and gold, again reached Stanton on her down trip. Hetty McFarland was prepared for her ride. Julius sprang from the engine,: found her in a jiffy, and Ho-iisted her! to the little apartment which ho had! fitted up anew for her reception. "How foggy it is to-night," i>ho said j to him. "There id a moon, but it does ; no good." "That's so, Hetty. We've got to! feel our way. You sse, Governorj Knox and his staff aro aboard, and wo j have been ordered to be very careful.' I spoke to Bradley about you goingj down with us, and he said, 'Certainly,' j just as I knew he would." ! Hetty was sitting on the greenplush cushion that covers the lid of the tool-box of the engine, and her j lover, talking, leaned against the jamb, of the door. "Excuse me for one mcment, Hetty," he said, and sprang from the engine and disappeared. He walked about the platform, looking for some person, whom it seemed he could not lind. "I don't like affairs tonight," hoi said to himself. "He looked as if he had been drinking, and we want a! sober man to run the Kigolella through this terrible fog." Across the track and almost directly opposite the depot building stood a groggery to which access could be obtained through a garden behind it. This was not the sole avenue of ingress, but it was called the secret way, and sometimes the employees of the road made use of it to procure a sly drink. After awhile the'you** lireman crossed t he track and traversed the garden to the groggory. He did not enter, for beyond the threshold of such a place he had promised a fair young girl that he would never step. He paused at the door, which was open, and looked between the green slats of the shade into the room. At tiic counter, with a glass of brandy in his har-d, stood th5 man for tvhom lie had Ijeen looking?John Kixon, tire engineer. The fireman's face grew pale when lie <a\v h!t!!, ann ucsaui something whi<tli r.u?co/j.'K-<-ted with Hetty Moi'urhmd's Dan!". lie did not Move until the engineer 3rapti?J the glass and turned to go. rhen Julius saw that his face was lushed, and he i.urdly looked Iiko tho ame n;an.
