THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, June 4, 1875.
SOUTH DEPARTMENT.
Abbeville County—Colleges, Schools,
Tow ns, Resources, etc., etc.
[From our Regular Correspondent].
In a former communication I prom
ised to write more in detail about Ab
beville county. This county is 32 miles
square, in the shape of a parallelo
gram, bounded on the west by the Sa
vannah river, east by the Saluda river,
north by Anderson county, south by
Edgefield.
The soil and productions are varied,
and her educational facilities more ex
tended than any county in the State.
Society is far above the average in in
telligence. The climate is genial, thus
presenting an inviting field to the im
migrant, who will be kindly received
and treated. The Bradleys of this
county have already opened the way,
and so far those who have come among
us, are well pleased and making money.
Abbeville,
the county .seat, is a place ol consider
able business, her merchants are enter
prising and active. The citizens gen
erally of the better class are hospita
ble and refined. Although the place
can not boqpt of much beauty, still the
ugliness is relieved by many fine resi
dences. The stores in the business por
tion are well built and give that por
tion a city appearance. The bar is
noted as being one of the best in the
Eighth Circuit. This circuit is presided
over by Judge Cook, who some times
spoils the broth as he did at Greenville
when he attempted to coerce the grand
jury. When we go into the court room
of late years, it is hard to repress a
sigh at the remembrance of better
days, when the office of Judge was
adorned by the incumbent and honored
by the people, as exemplifying all that
was just, high and honorable, but
tempura mutantur. Now we read of
eulogistic resolutions, full of fulsome
flattery, offered by the bar and blandly
received by “his Honor the Judge.”
Thanks to the lashings of the
press, these resolutions of thanks
are about to cease. Another ob
jection ter the Bench is that they
generally mingle too much in the poli
tical arena, and as a matter of course
become partisans. In the )good old
aute-belleum days Abbeville was the
focus for politics, and plenty of candi
dates could always be found to offer
themselves as leaders. Since the war,
however, politics at this place is all on
one side. Our former leaders are too
busy to speak to the people aud advise
them in their troubles and perplexities,
Tax Unions, Granges or Democratic
Clubs find here but few supporters, and
the people have beheld with regret the
indifference of their former leaders.—
There are however some notable ex
ceptions and especially so in the person
of Jr. Armistead Burt our former re
presentative in Congress. He has
always responded when called upon
and no man struck harder blows at
corruption aud rascality. Mr. Burt is
very popular with all classes and one
of the leading men at the bar.
Abbeville has been twice scourged by
fire; but with commendable energy
her people have rapidly rebuilt the
burnt portions of the town. Here are
published the Press and Banner, edited
by W. A. Lee and Hugh Wilson. Mr.
Leo is a graceful writer and well edu
cated gentleman. Mr. Wilson is the
business manager of the paper, as well"
as junior editor. He is a thorough
going business man, and has made his
paper a success. The greatest objec
tion to him is that he is an old bachelor
iliat needs some soft place upon which
to lay his weary head. The Abbeville
Medium is •owned and edited by the
pjemphllls—Robert and Calvin—both of
the'u* gentlemen and good editors and
line .writers. The Medium is the best
printed paper in the up-country, and I
think Calvin the champion paragraph
ist, probably, of the whole State. The
Medium, in a short period, has reached
a large circulation. This paper is al
ways read by the young people of both
sexes.
Abbeville is well supplied with
churches. Abbeville county has always
good schools and colleges. The celebra
ted
School of Dr.' Waddell
was among the first in the up country.
It was at this school that some of our
most emiuent scholars received their
education. The late Judge Lougstreet,
of your .State, among the number.—
Among the noted schools of the present
time is the
Male and Female College
at Due West, under the auspices of
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Church. Both of these colleges are
well patronized. Due West is a very
pretty village, distant about four miles
from Donnaldville, on the G. & C. R. R.
The next most prominent schools are at
Cokesbury. Prof. J. L. Jones, of Geor
gia, is rector of tho Male School and
Rev. Ferdinand Jacobs, President of
the Masonic Female College.
Cokesbury
is OQv? of our most beautiful villages,
and a pleasant place to spend the Sum
mer months. Near this place is a fine
mineral spring, affording a pleasant
drink for the invalid and possessed of
decided medicinal qualities. Among
the important towns in the county is ~
Greenwood,
on the G. and C. R. R. This is a thriv
ing place, doing a iarge amount of bus
iness. All persons passing along the G.
and C. R. R. will be impressed with the
thrift and enterprise of its citizens.
The New Era is published here aud
edited by W. K. Blake, who weekly es
tablishes the truth of the heading
pi his paper : “Truth, like a torch,
the more it is shook, it shines.”
Mr. Blake is also one of the champions
of the'Greenwood and Augusta Rail-*
road. This road is a very important
one for the interests of Augusta, and
ought to be built; but I very much fear
a pleasant event will not occur in
out day. Our people are too poor to
buihd railroads, aud our Stato is in
such iWi odor financially that capital
ists are afraid to invest. Just below
Greenwood, ten miles, is Ninety-six. It
may almost be said that this place has
sprung up since the war. so rapid of
lute have been the improvements pro
jected and completed. A large trade
is carried on here by the people of
Laurens and surrounding country.
Near this place are some of the finest
lands in the county. The farmers are
thrifty and making money.
Other Villages.
There arc many other villages in this
county--Donaldville, Cedar Spriugs,
Calhoun £tills, Lowndesville, Autre
vilie, and some that have only the
name now that in former times were
flourishing places o! business. It would
nfford me pleasure to speak of each in
detail, but the length of tfijc communi
cation warns me to close.
Our facilities for getting to market is
mainly by the G. & C. R. R., and its
branches. We hope, however, to see
the Chicago aud Port Royal Railroad
built. This road will probably pass
through our county, and give the long
desired outlet across the mountains.
The Crops.
I am glad to report that, since I wrote
to you, we have had rain, and the crops
are looking uncommonly fine.
The dry spell eoutinued long enough
to give everybody the chance of thor
oughly hoeing the cotton crop. It is
now free from grass and growing ra
pidly. The Fall oat and wheat crop
is being harvested. The yield will be
very fair, taking everything into con
sideration.
Spring oats will not be so good, as
the dry weather injured the crop con
siderably.
A good oat crop will be a blessing to
the farmers, who find it difficult to
ke< p fat horses on Western corn at
$1.75 per bushel.
Our people will yet learn wisdom
from experience, and not plant so much
cotton. Timon.
News in Barnwell—Burglars at Work
—The Crops. Weather, Trade, fee.
[Regular Correspondence.]
Barnwell, S. C., June 2d, 1875.
Since my last nothing of grave im
portance has developed itself save one
robbery and an attempt at another.
On Friday night last the store of Mr.
A. P. Manville was entered by burglars
while the head clerk, Mr. BrowD, was
asleep in the store. Mr. B. is very easy
to arouse, aud thinks he was placed
under the influence of some opiate by
artificial means before the store was
entered. The print of a chizel was
plainly visible on the side of the door
where the bolt was forced off. In the
same room the kerosene lamp was
taken down from a suspended socket
and lighted, so as to give the
parties sufficient light for their
work. Mr. Brown’s pockets were
turned out and his memoranda
book closely examined, though fortu
nately at the time he had no money
with him; his gold watch, a silver
watch and fine Derringer pistol were
tfiken, while everything else remained
undisturbed. On Monday night an at
tempt was made to enter the store of
Mr. W. J. Mixon, just out of town, by
forcing between the panels of the door
a large piece of plank. This happened
about 9 o’clock at night, aud Mr. Mix
on discovered it a few minutes
after 9. It is thought that the
parties beard his approach aud lied.
The Weather aud Crops.
We are at present much in need of a
good rain. Gardens arc somewhat
backward, as well as field crops, which
are for their age looking remarkably
well. The stands of cotton generally
are very good, and the plant has a
green, healthy appearance. Every
where I have been all crops ai’e nicely
worked. There is no doubt, though,
that the recent county election did a
great deal of damage to the plantings
interests, in causing hands to leave
homo in the interests of the side they
advocated. •
Business With the Merchants.
Whenever they meet on the streets
you can hear the question asked “Hovw
is things ?” when, truly speaking, the
party answering has not the energy to
reply. The cash business has dwindled
down to almost nothing. Those who
have capital to advance to planters can
sell all the goods they wish. It is a
dangerous business in this country, un
less a man bus secured himself by a
lien on the crops aud a mortgage on
tho stock, real estate, etc. I do not
think, with the agricultural brother
hood, there is any difficulty about labor,
if the negroes are sure they will he re
warded. All the planter has to do is to
make it known that ho wants hands
and he can get them. There is un
doubtedly 25 per cent, less of the one ]
horse colored farmers this year to last,
and no doubt it has arisen in a great j
measure from their inability to procure
advances.
The Court House.
This trouble which has caused so
’many ungenerous letters from both
Blaekville and Barnwell still is solved
in deep mistery. It came up before the
State Board of canvassers on yesterday
at the capital by Mr. Chisolm issuing
his certificate in favor of Blaekville.
This Mr, Chisolm is a P. C., aud con
stitutes one of our county canvassers,
who held a meeting here a few days ago
when there was hut two present. They
adjourned, and after adjourning he goes
aud issues his certificate in favor of
Blaekville, claiming to constitute a ma
jority of the Board; the first time we
ever kuew of one constituting a ma
jority of two or three was on this oc
casion, the news as to the disposition
of the ease has not reached us up to
this hour, and when it does according
to law, I am inclined to think will not
he of any great benefit to Blaekville.
Yours truly, Oocamus.
Cotton Extraordinary.
[Correspondence of the Medium ]
Tumbling Shoals, S. C., May 28.
Eleven miles west from Laurens on
the Anderson Road, you will pass an
old settled plantation where four gen
erations, in succession, have lived. Di
rectly below the dwelling, the present
owner has his own cotton patch of some
three acres; one-half high branch bot
tom land and the other half red hill
laud. lu the fall of 1872 he commenced
preparing this land for cotton, by
breakiug up with a one-horse Brinley
plow, following in the same furrow with
a subsoil. The furrows were then open
ed deep and stable manure drilled in
and bedded on. The crop of 1873 was
planted and cultivated in the same way.
The owner doing all the labor himself,
this crop yielded him five bales of cot
ton weighing four hundred and thirty
pounds each. In 1874 the patch was
prepared by breaking up with a
twister, running in the same' furrow
with a subsoil plow. Stable manure
was again drilled in, and on a part
guano where no stable manure was
used. The crop of 1874 was five bales
weighing five hundred and sixty pounds
each. My friend cultivates this patch
himself, looks after his tenants, and has
ample time to visit his neighbors. The
exercise keeps him in flue health,
and this extra patch furnishes plenty
of pocket change, and makes him em
phatically a cash man. I never hear
him grumbling of hard times and no
money ; because industry supplies all
his reasonable wants. This little cot
ton farm shows plainly what a few
acres will yield, well manured and cul
tivated, aud the time can well be spared 1
by any industrious farmer.
Beaverdam.
Edgefield Advertiser : Again we have
to record the deaths of several old and
well-known citizens. Tuesday of last
week saw the death of Mrs. Josias Lan
ham, the v. ife of Mr. Josias Lanham,
of Meriwether Township, who is him
self in his ninety-first or ninety-second
year. * * * And on Sunday last, in
his old home of fifty or sixty years, in
the fork of Stevens Creek and Savan
nah river, departed this life the vener
able Joseph Crafton—one of the purest,
kindest aud best citizens Edgefield
has ever known. Before the war
Mr. Crafton was a wealthy man,
and his fellow-citizens saw him often.
Since the war, however, the infirmities
of age have pressed very heavily upon
him, and his death was preceded by
years of suffering. He was eighty-two
years of age. * * * On Satui’day,
the 29th of May, Mrs. Mabala Eidson,
died at the residence of her son-in-law
Tillman H. Clack, Esq., In the Harmo
ny section. Mrs. Eidson was the wid
ow of the late James Eidson, Esq., once
sheriff of onr county. She was a lady
of great moral and religious worth,
and a very large circle of friends will
mourn her departure from aojppg
them. * * * The drought still con
tinues—that js jn our immediate locali
ty. Around us and near us, iu more
than one direction, fine rains have fall
en within the last forty-eigfrf hours.
Field crops are not suffering
yet, but many vegetable gardens
are in woful plight. The past Winter
and Spring have been the finest for
oats ever known. * * * “It is not
wise to put all our eggs jn the same
basket.” This wise old adage came to
our mind to-day as we contemplated,
from the back piazza of our home,
the splendid oats crop of our next-door
neighbor, Mr. John L. Addison. Most
of this crop now lies upon the earth in
bundles. The field contains twelve
acres—the poorest, thinnest, most worn
out land that could be well imagined.
It has been under cultivation ever since
the world (Edgefield) began. About the
10th of October last Mr. Addison sowed
it in red rust-proof oats. At the time of
sowing ho manured the land with Nova
Scotia land plaster and cotton seed
-200 lbs. of land plaster and 25 bushels of
cotton seed to the acre. Early in the
following February he scattered over
the whole (over the grain just as it
stood) 1,200 pounds of land plaster—loo
pounds to the acre—making 300 pounds
in all, to the acre. The next morning,
the dew having fallen upon it, the grain
looked as if it had been baptized with
a thick flour pasts. The yield will av
erage 40 bushels to the acre. And the
grain is remarkably fine—heads very
large, sound and enormously heavy.
The manure, plaster and cotton seed
together cost seven dollars and sixteen
cents to the acre. The land plaster cost
sl2 per ton—ss freight, from Charles
ton to Pine House. Without the ferti
lizers we are confident the land would
not have yielded eight bushels to the
acre.
THE BARNWELL BLACKVILLE
AVAR.
Defeat of Barnwell—Blaekville De
clared the County Seat.
[Columbia (June 23d) Union Herald]
Yesterday the rival towns engaged in
another pitched battle, and tho result
was a defeat to Barnwell. The State
Board of Canvassers met iu the office
of the Secretary of State at 12 o’clock
yesterday, Messrs. Dunn, Hayne and
Putvis being present; absent, Messrs.
Melton, Cardozo and Hirsch. There
not being a quorum of the Board
present, the Lieutenant Governor was
called upon to act, as provided by law
ju such cases.
J. R. Bellinger, Esq., opened the case
for Blaekville. The returns presented
were the affidavits of managers of
elections from every poll iu the county.
Robert Aldrich, Esq., on the part of
Barnwell, protested against the recep
tion of such evidence. H. M. Thomp
son, Esq., replied, showing that it was
only necessary that the will of tho peo
ple should he ascertained beyond doubt,
to warrant t he Board iu deciding. Judge
Hoge demurred to the jurisdiction or
the Board, but the Board held that it
had already decided that point against
him. R. B. Elliott, Esq., argued that,
although the evidence before the Board
was secondary, they were fully justified
in entertaining it. He quoted many
authorities bearing upon the point.
The room was then closed, and, after
consultation, the following certificate
was signed :
State of South Carolina, 1
Executive Department,
Of kick Secretary of State, j
Whereas, iu pursuance of the act en
titled “An act to provide for holding a
certain election in Barnwell county, ap
proved the 19th day or March, 1875,” an
election was held on the 12th day of
May, 1875, to determine the location of
the county seat or said county ; aud
whereas, it appears upon examination
of the returns that Blaekville has re
ceived a majority of the votes at said
election. We do, therefore, by virtue of
the authority vested in us, certify and
declare that the town of Blaekville, in
the said county of Barnwell, has been
duly chosen by a majority of the voters
voting at said election to be the county
seat of the said county of Barnwell.
Given under our hands and the seal of
the State at Columbia, the 2d day of
June, 1875, and in the ninety-ninth
year of American independence.

Saddest of All.
I kave done the saddest thing to-day
That ever fell to woman’s lot; -
Ive folded all her clothes away,
fn And every cherished plaything brought
lo lay beside them, one by one;
Her birthday gifts and Christmas toys,
And then to weep when all was done,
O’er buried hopes and vanished joys.
Her little dress, in childish haste,
Her own dear hands had laid aside;
Upon the pins that held the waist
1 pressed my lips and softly cried.
Within her gaiters, ’neatk my chair,
Two half-worn crimson stockings lay,
And with a pang of wild despair,
I bent auu hid them all away.
The purple ribbon that she wore,
The coral rings and pins were there,
And just beneath them on the floor,
The silken band that tied her hair.
A handkerchief that bore her name
Was folded like a tiny shawl;
And, wrapped within this snowy frame,
Just as she left it, lay her doll.
It bled afresh, this wouuded heart,
As if with some new sorrow stung,
As with a wild and sudden start,
I came to where her cloak was hung;
1 caught it, sobbine\ to my heart,
As if it held a missing fortn.
And in low murmurs fondly blessed
What once had kept my darling warm.
Her gentle fingers seemed to glide
Across my love to soothe my pain,
As from the pockets at the side,
I drew the glove3 that still retain
The impress of those loving hands,
Where magic touch seemed fraught with
power,
To cheer me ’mid the scorching sands
Of soi row, in life’s desert hour.
Her little hat no more will take
To its embrace her sunny hair;
I felt that my poor heart must break
To see it lying empty there!
The beaming eyes it used to shade.
No more with trustful grince will shine;
The grass the early Spring hath ma'e
Is growing ’twixt her home and mine.
Her silk and thimble both were laid
With thread and scissors, on the stand;
Her dolly’s dress, but partly made,
Seemed waiting for the moulding hand.
The drawing of a blighted vine,
Torn, ruthless, from a withered tree.
Meet emblems or her life and mine,
Were the last lines she traced for me.
O! was there ever grief like this?
Can sorrow take a form more wild
i ban sweeps across us when we miss
The presence of a darling child?
And is there any thought that cheers
Like this, the heart by anguish liven—
ihe time was given to mark our tears,
Eternity to measure Heaven.

ALL PERSONS HAVING BOUND FILES
of the “CONSTITUTIONALIST,” bor
rowed from the office, are requested to re
turn them at once. We find many volumes
missing, and it is matter of great impor
tance to get them together. They consti
tute historic fact and dates not to be found
anywhere else. No doubt the missing vol
umes are stored away and their real owner
forgotten.
Hereafter, whilst any one will be allowed
the privilege of inspection and to copy any
article in them, these priceless records of
the past will not be loaned or permitted to
be taken from the office. The first volume
we have is dated July, 1800. We would be
glad to get copies of the paper prior to that
date for preservation, and such other bound
volumes, since that date, as*anybody may
send us.
