The Press and Banner, ABBEVir LE, S.C. Wednesday, Jwe 15,1881. Tine Death of Mr. William Lyon. Our town and community have had to mourn the loss of another estimable citizen in the death of Mr. William Lyon. This Is the third death amongst our old townsineri f^ithiVi the last two .months. Mr. Lawrfr^t, Judge Thomson awl Mr. Lyon. Those are heavy losses to a com munity. Mr. William Lyon, was born in this conntv neor Asbury on the 10th, of A?? trust 1808antl died on the 10th, of June 2881. He was consequently in hissev-j cntv third year, lie was married t<> Virginia S. Delph, on theoth, of April 18-'(i>, j ten children were the fruit of this m??ririuge tiv? sues and five daughters. Only J three ?f ?*0n? are now living. Judfje; J. Fti'Tir I.yon, Mrs. Dr. Maysoi'\ of; KdgcticM and Mrs. J. C. Fooshe. The. deceased connected himself with the, Methodist Church in November of the year 18^7, at Asbury and remained in that Vhtireh until his removal to Abbeville in J "WTfi siincf- uich time lie has lived with Tiis son Judge Lyon" where he died. Mr. Lyon was a farmer and mechanic, | engaging principally in the former, lie was a good cit<rei:, ade voted husband and an affectionate father. His life was that <>f an humb!^ and consistent Christian,! worthy of emulation. There were no pc-j ,riodieal services of his master, but a con-j tinued We of earnest work, having a clear faith a(Vd unshaken confidence in the toil- i ings ot' Ciod, believing all things, enduring all things, suffering'all things. Mr. ' Lyon, was one of the men who was letl| by his own convictions, and neversougiit j to intrude his views iu an improper man-; nor upon others. He allowed the great! prinepleof right to control him and lie! was thereby enabled to coiiio up to that! highest standard of mail hood. a strong, honest christian gentJembn. IIis sutler-; ings during his last illnc::S were of a very severe nature, ilo was confined to his' room for more than a month and to his; bed for four weeks. FJe suffered from' rheumatism of the breast. During his sickness his 'mind was entirely clear and he became utit'oncious only a few hours j before his death. His testimony at thoj last was that death had no terrors for him and that ho died without a fear. This is! a good testimony to leave behind after a long life. There has passed away a good man: The winters of three score years! and ten had frosted his brow, lie lived J cut his allotted time and was ripe for the' cycle. Every thing wasdono for him that! could have been done. Relatives and friends were constant and waitingo* their1 attentions and care. M. Lyon was hurried near Anbury in the family grave j yard, where lie the remains of his wife and others of his family. Just under a! Kpceaditig pine, singiiig*its solemH requi etrt, now r?*sls the t?ouy ot one more 01 our fcllowmcn, awaiting tlie groat assein- j bly of the great day.

When we undertake to: bducate other people's children we have a! big job on hand, and when the govern-! inent propose?- to relieve parents of thci' natural obligation to educate their own children, it will demoralize some of its best citizens. Capt. Geo. C. Perrin returned to bis' old liotne on last Saturday from Texas. To-morrow he leaves for L nion in company with Mrs. Judge Cothran, Captain J'errin, Miss Sarah Perrin, Mr. VV. S. j Cothran and Mr. 11. T. NVardlaw who goj with him to carry the war into Union] county, and then to take captive one of j Union's fairest daughters. The Sea Island News, from Beaufort! S. C., comes to us enlarged and improved. It is a good paper, but takes to the! Republican side in politics. There is one; ihiug, however; upon which we are: agreed, tliat the pliaspraie inouoj>in? are, a jjreat injustice to the people. Sb!!?e-! thing to be done to correct theeVil, which is now protected by law. ^ j Personal.?Mr. and Mrs. Lewis W.; Sitnkius, ol' Newberry, are visiting rela-! tives here. Abbeville claims Lewis "asI oue of her jewels" and we are quite sure that his mauy friends here will be glad to i welcome hiui and his charming bride to, his old home, and pledge them their heart-1 felt wishes for theiir future happiness and j prosperity.

Lnurcnsvitle /fcraW; After an activ campaign of about one month, in the interest of the Greenvillle and.Laurens, and the Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg Railroads, the friends of boih iiieasures have abundant cause for congratulation. We regard the action of the people of Laurens on last j Tuesday as the best day's work over done, for tfte advancement and development of the material resources of the County, and j for the good of ttie County generally. J --j&jw as the election is over, if any harsh or uniTnh^diil^h'1*''; hcenengcUgendered during the c;T!W)il'$u---and we , hope there has not been^^nrr frrW'Tna^n belaid aside and speedy forgot t' i.

An UnoJHcial report from said box however, at a late hour Tuesday evening, placed the vote at about two to one in favor of subscription, i:i a probable vote of 150. This would increase the majority to about 1,810. Now that the people of 1.nitrons have done their part, ami done it handsomely und wilh marked unanimity in voting' the subscription to the two Konds, let ih5 work be pushed rapidly forward. The way to Greenville is clear?no obstacle now presents itself. That to Spartanburg and Greenwood depends only on the vote of Spartanburg County, which we regard a certainty, since Laurens has rolled up a majority of more than eighteen hundred for said l'oads.

Editors Press and Banner: Harvesting small grain in this locality j is terminating the present week. The! late seeding of your partial cereal (red oats) are aiinsst a complete failure, scarcely obtainable. I would advise you to urge the fanners to sow tneir oat crop in August. I imagine tho good old fence system would come into requisition at this junctureof scarcity in order to tconoinizo horse food and afford ample nourishments for the swine and cattle of a " thousand hills." Hush! Lttpum mcmornnduc. The Unconstitutional stock law is an extremely sensitive theme in your editorial range of eulogizing comments, to tone!) upon or even to throw out an indirect innuendo. I must, more scrupulously, be on inv guard, less I make tnvself more obnoxious to the enthusiastic adherents of agricultural progress. The wheat crop is moderately good, the principal objections consist in the difficulty of cradling it on account of its extreme humbleness. It failed to rear its caput of sufficient attitude to allow successful decapitation. Doubtless a very short interval will intervene ere the demand for Western llour will resume its sway. Ths "fleecy" outlook is flattering whore labor is sufficient to hold General Urecti at bay. The latter rains dispelled the gloom that brooded over the. vision of the mer chnnt and guano agents and kindled a smilo <if gleefulness. Few farmers were a little tardy In getting their entire cotton Crop plant0-'! early enough to seen re a good "stand." I "ivouid alfio suggest to advise farmers to plant their cotton crop from the middle, t6 the latter part of April, even if tho elements indicate snow. Don't wait for the "dry spell" in May. I am partial to the opinion that tho recent drought was the solvation of the "big" cotton crop thus fat. It apparently seems now-a-daysto be the base upon which the farmer rests his kopfes of securing opulence. The upland corn prorpcct is numbered with the things that were. Our efforts to j replemish our depleted corn cribs are confined to bottom land. A little "dry spell" and hot weather is desirable to prevent tho ravages of the bod worm in order to obtain a good stand of torn in such localities. Horticultural supplies are rather scanty, especially where the soii was suEerlicially prepared aad strongly stimuitcd wttii ammonia'. 1' individually, to some extent, avoided these objections and the sequel is, I am the happy recipient of ii pretty good garden, luxuriating in beans, beets, squashes, onions, cileunibfcrs ct cetera. The temperance cause Is eliciting some attention, especially in the sacred desk. The old hackneyed, monotonous phrase, ?"intemperance is tiie bane of life" is resurrected from the debris of the past and harped upon by some seemingly abstemious advocates that will yet in all probability eke out their clandestine inebriate existence fii a "gutter." I confess the hiundating tide of whisky intemperance heeds stemming or damning Up but I am apprehensive theschemethat is now undorgoing much, intellectual thought will not effect mucli permanent good.' It really appears the moro restrictions you place upon the whisky dritikiK'jyou augment the difficulty. Compare tht- present drinking age with days of yore?iwnntyflye or thirty years ago, when intoxication was confined to a few "sots." When the. decanter of good whisky, obtainable at the iflsignificant price of T/i.conts per gallon, occupied a uromiuent t>oshion upon the bureau, and indulged socially by neighbors and draw your inference of the evil committed.

Reports of worms come from t'vo counties and hail storms are reported lrotn two counties. Tin; AI'OI'STA KX< II vnok. Arorvw, <ia., Jitiifi !>.?The Augusta Exchange's report of the condition of the cotton crop tor,May is based on twentytwo replies from thirteen counties. There is an average increase of about 2J per cent. Th" weather was very dry everyj where from about April 20 to May is. Fifteen reports state it as less favorable, i five as the same and only two as more lavorable. Since May 2fc rains have been general. Stands are good wherever cotton came up we'l, which is generally the j ease with early plantings. Some had to J be replant, (if these a moderate percentage was not up yet, but can do well with favorable weather. One report only | gives the crop as earlier, two as the same and all others as later than last season. The condition is good and healthy though the plant is rather small, being stunted in ; growth by continued dry weather. Fields arc clear and free of grass and i weeds. Labor is reported to bo fully as j good as last year, ami iu some sections as I ever more sufficient. Nine reports give the quantity of fertilizes used as same as ' last year, ten give an increase raging from ! 5 to'25 per cent., three report a decrease. The average increase will hardly exceed, j even if it reaches 5 per sent. Owing to i the continued dry weather, which badly baked all strong clav land, some planters had not quite finished planting at the date of the reports, and owing to the same cause some, lands intended for cotton were never planted. Some, as suited, were replanted where from lack of manure the seed failed to germinate. The rains though generally since May 2Sth, have not been heavy While the crop is undoubtedly later than it was last year it is fully up to the average years. There j is no doubt that about 15 per cent, more , of commercial fertilizers was brought in, Jo and madp in this State and more shipl pixl to distributing points, but there is a good deal now at depots unsold.
