The lndustrial Assocrn,ion

The ladies of this truly benevolent
Association propose, on the 21st instant,
to give musical entertainment for its
benefit, and it is almost unnecessary to
appeal to the public for its liberal pa
tronage. This society, from very small
beginnings, has worked up 10 its present
position usefulness, against many and
great disadvantages-small means, great
poverty and the general distress of the
country. A late disaster, by fire. has
rendered it necessary that they should
make UNUSUAL efforts to restore their
losses. To this end, concert has been
proposed, which has been committed to
the management of those who, by their
intelligence, energy and skill, will make
the ontertainment at once elegant and
delightful. The most accomplished and
skiliful musicians and vocaliats will lend
their aid to this deserving charity The
Association has accomplished great good
in this community. It has furnished to
hundreds, who would otherwise have
suffered, the actual neccsaaries of life.
Few will know tue real good that has
been done, except those who have been
continually benefited. 1t is one of the
objects of this society to bestow its bless.
iugs without ostentation, and upon those
who would shrink from public display
of their real needs. It is the desire of
this society that their good deeds should
be unknown-that "the right hand
should not know what the left hand
doeth." The standing of tho ladies who
compose the society, should be guaran-
ty to the community that the contrlbu.
tions made to them will be administered
wisely and we'll. To you, then, citizens
of Columb they appeal, not for aid by
donations to cold charity, but for coun-
tenance and support in honest endeavors
to raise funds to carry on their benevo.
lent undertaking. They have never yet
made this appeal in vain; and we be-
speak for them, on this occasion, n
hearty support. There is a charity above
the ostentatious giving OF alms-the
charity that the great Maker of us oil
has linked with the sister virtues of faith
and hope-,"these three, but the grentest
of these shall be charity" The ladies
of this Association have, 10 this end, ex-
ercised the virtue Of faith. The bene.
fciaries of the Association have been
sustained by the virtue of hope, and it
is for us, citizens of Columbia, to exer-
else the greatest virtue of the three
charity.

ANOTHER ABDEvILLE OUTRAaE.-The
following letter. from several of the most
prominent and respectable citizens of
Cokesbury, is published in the Abbeville
Press;
Is there q point at which forbearance
ceases to be n virtue? Yesterday evening
one Tom Williamson and another negro
rode into our village and called ut the
residence of one of our most quiet and
lnoffensive citizens, DIR. Newton Sims.
and, asserting that he was their prisoner,
attempted to lay hands OH his person.
The Doctor walked into his house and
shut the door, when Williamson actually
burst open the door and seized the Doc
tor IA very feeble many aud held him fast
until the cries Of his daughters, who sup.
posed him to be in the hands of q MUIR
derer, and frightened almost out of their
minds. alarmed some gentlemen near.
On their approach, Williamson released
the Doctor, left the house and retired to
the street. Upon boing asked by q gen
tleman upon what authority he commit
ted such an outrage, he produced war
rant and asserted that he had acted ac-
cordlng to law and to instructions from
headquarters. The warrant was not pro-
duced or spoken of until after the out
| rage was committed.
Now let us recapitulate: A few days
ago quiet gentleman, one whose social
position is second to none in our con-
munity, was torn from his buggy by vio-
lence, his life threatened, kept in Jail for
hours, and ut last released under bonds,
and for what offence? Because he asked
MIR. Hogo what he supposed we're fair
wages for an able bodied negro fellow.
The representative in the Legislature
threatens to murder us and burn our
houses over the heads of our families,
and now the constabulary, without ex-
hibiting authority, burst open our houses
and violate our persons in the presence
Of our families.
White men of Abbcville, is there a
point at which forbearance ceases to be
q virtue?

ANOTHER Clubhouse DESTROYED. We
regret to learn that the gin-house of Mr..
David Halfacro was destroyed by fire on
last Friday. together with its contents.
Mr. D. N. Halfacre. his son, had, at the
time, seven bales of cotton and $50 bush
els seed in the building, which were con-
sumed, nt loss of about $500. Mr. D.
Halfacre, Sr.'s, loss is estimated at
~, 200. The fire was the result of either
the presence of a piece of flint rock in
the cotton while it was in process of gin
ming. or the accidental or mischievous
placing of matches in the same. This
is severe loss to these gentlemen and
we sympnthize with them in it.
AND STILL ANOTHER BURNED. The
gin-house of Mr.. VIM. Davis, three miles
above Jalappa, in this District, was de-
stroyed by fro on Tuesday night last.
Between two and threo bales of cotton.
with the seed, 175 bushels of corn, 1000
pounds fodder, two wagon bodies, n gin,
thresher and fan were all consumed. ut
an estimated loss of about $500. MIR.
Davis is certain that the fire was the
work OF inceDdiaries, as he saw two white
men running away from his premises.
We understand he has taken out a war
rant for their arrest, tho parties having
been tracked.
ANOTHER SUFFERER. Pickens
Stevens, We have just learned, has lost
his Clubhouse and five bales of cotton.
and large quantity in the seed.

between the extremists of both parties,
we raise the standard of the men Of

answered the question agreeably to our
convictions. That common ground
stands midway between Republicanism

That common ground is the ground upon
which this journal stands, and has stood
since it took its stand in the spring of
1885,. That common ground is the
ground Of liberal, reasonable. mode

A private letter from an en- tirelr re.
sponsible source in Madrid repeats that Min.
lister Sickles has offered the United State, as
mediator betvecr spain and the Cubans, the
proposi.iou as stated in the American
newspaI'r 1t slavery be abolished in the
island, tho Uubans to pay Spain for the pub.
lie buildings, Notifications, etc, and it is
equally true that while Spain does not re-.
ject the meditation there are serious obsta.
cles in the way Of accommodation. The i'm.
preston among many Spanish statesmen is
that the island will eventually pass from their
possession and control.
The preliminary demand of Spain is that
the Cubans shall lay down their arms, o
condition which it is ascertained they will not
comply if for no other reason than that they
have no guarantee Of protection from the
Spanish volunteers, who, according to re.
ports, aim a. the absolute rule Of the Is.
land and have secret organization to that
end.
