JUSTIFIABLE HoMICIDE.-The Char
lottc Observer asks: 1--WE would like tc
know if it would be sin to kill a man
who plays an accordeon. We intend tc
kill one, anyhow, but then we would
like to know in advance if there is any
thirg wrong about it,"
After he finishes his job at home we
would like to employ him to perform
the same Office on certain member OF
the Abbeville colored Band, who fur
nishes music on Law Range every after
noon. We will promise to get him ac'
quilted by any intelligent Abbeville

22,4@ Bushels of Corn.

We are Indebted to the courtesy of
Mr.. John Enright, the very efficient
telegraph operator and assistant agent
at the railroad depot, for the following
figures in reference to the amount of
corn shipped TO 3Abbeville since lst jan
uary to the lst5 of July. This speaks
badly for our people when it is fact
that nine-tenths ,of our planters could
raise oats for their stock at less cost
than the hauling of the corn from the
Court House to their respective farms.

WE DON'T KNOW whether the local
editor of the Charlotte Observer is a
married man or not, but if the following
doesn't sound like "moon- struck"
bachelor, then we know nothing of the
man, and we've been bachelor so long
that we don't like to tell our age. In
the Observer of the 18th we find the fol-
lowing:
"The moon rode the heavens last
night in all her georgeousness, bathing
everything in her pale silvery light,
Under the beautiful moon tonight,
Silently sleeps the crowded town;
Teudcrly, dreamily, floats the light,
Over the wanderers up and down."

CoKEsBURY, IS. c.. .

q. .-7s COKEsBURY, 8. c., /
-, ~ July 18th, 1876; !
Editor Press and Banner:
The Payne Institute, which recently
closed it's second term with a grand ex-
| hibition and marked success, has been
favorably commented upon. There is o
very great improvement under the
guidance of the pastor of the church,
Rev. B. F. Porter, who came from New
| York as Principal of the Institute.
Though young it bids fair to be foremost
in the educational work of the colored
people. They have organized temper
ance and beneficiary society, under the
name of the "Sons and Daughters OF
Samaria." This society already num-
bers nearly 100 members, with branch
at A Abbeville and others are organizing
| in the upper counties. These societies
are promising and bid fair TO do great
good for the colored. Next Friday is to
be gala day with the colored people
Sunday-school celebration and picnic,
and the order of the S. and D. of S. will
join in the line of march. Africa is
rising. Better days are coming. With
religion and education and temperance,
we hope for q brighter future. With the
ness will disappear. Civilize and edu-
cate the negro and you will give to-him
the chance ,toyie with any other people
and will make his future as bright and
prosperous as the past has been dark
and pitiable. AThe good time coming
may be hastened by the, cooperation oi
the races in voting for and with the
people. 'Tis too late in the blaze of the
10th century for worn-out politicians, to
raise the fears and alarm the sensibili.
ties of the poor .uneducated negro, with
such stuff as has been dealt out to them
in the past, and we hope the time will
soon come, when the people may hear 8
different kind of talk-something sea-
soned with common sense. "Birds may
be caught with chaff," but the attempt
| to obtain and retain office by ostracising
and belieing and falsifying the people
at large, is "too thin" Hasten the day
when the African can think and act for
himself and his own best interest, is the
sincere wish of one who sympathizes
with the people of "Atrican descent"

HrWe have received an ably gotten ,lr
s and neatly printed catalogue of this ex-
b celIent College of which Abbegnle is SO
justly proud, and take pleasure inesadd'
q ing a word for so good an institution,
With the present able Faculty end Dr.
+ Grier as its President, the Collegehasoi
\ late grown rapidly in public favor and
b esteem, until now it is regarded as.infe.
rior to no Institution of learning in the
& South.9ss The Faculty are men of educa-
ton, ability and eSperiencesin teaching,
while all the advantages of a,eheap ed
ueation are presented to the student
The course of study is Thoroughly md
the College libraries are complete. =
From various causes the College for
L several years after the war did not seem
to prosper as before, but with new
b President and new Professors new life
has been inspired into this old and hon
.ored institution, and now it seems that
Bat will be more useful in the future than
hit has been in the past.
q The Faculty possess in a high degree
h the art of imparting information and al
The same time inspiring the student
with something of their own dignity
of manners, gentlemanly bearing
and courteous department.; and the
graduates of this institution, if from DO
other cause, by contact and association
with the gentlemen composing the
Faculty, and with the citizens of the
place, naturally become endowed with
good moral qualities. When thus in.
/ spired, a disposition for emminence on
1 the part of the student will never fail to
elevate him to high position which
3 will render him useful member of So
eiety. Education always prepares the
recipient to move with ease on a more
elevated plane in society, and when it
can be obtained so cheaply as it can be
at Due West, parents and guardians, we
are persuaded, are derelict in their duty
il they fail to educate those entrusted to
them.
u The following is all estimate of the
costs of attending this College, as taken
from the catalogue:
EXPENSES. - These include tuition,
B board, washing, lights, fuel, books, COL
sege and Society fees, rs follows:

QoD Contour friend Mr.. John A.
salA nse. of the Blue Hill, succeeds at
ssal ssn,] Us eshing,he puts his hands to,
D. lat 49, stk farming that he
bears off the paisn:sIn his fields, the
{ corn stands, hat-footed, over fourteen
feet high, while the ears OH the stalks
are at so great an altitude that the axis
1 Of the plant will have to be cut before
the corn can be gathered. We have
advised Mr.. Calhoun to have boards
split with which to cover his field. 1t
would cost him less than to build houses
in which to store his grain. If every
body farmed as he does, the lien law
would have to be repealed, or else re-
main dead letter on our statute books.
