THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The May Term of Court closed on last
Thursday, and was principally noted for
the rapidity with which Judge Reed dis
posed of the matters on the civil side of the
Court, and as the day upon which those
convicted of crimes and offences during the
term were sentenced.
Orr Lattimer, convicted of burglary, was
granted new trial.
Jack Nance, convici I'd of retailing with
out license, was sentenced to one months
Imprisonment in Jail, and twenty dollars
fine, besides the cost Of the prosecution.
Colonel D. T. Maxwell, the colored lad
who plead guilty to the charge of grand
larceny was sentenced to imprisonment in
the Penitentiary for one year.
H. Lawrence Smith, convicted of assault
and battery with intent to kill, was sem
fenced to imprisonment in Jail for one year,
with the privilege Of paying fine of one
hundred dollars, and thereby remitting the
last six months of his, imprisonment.
Having transacted all the business ready
for the Court at this term, Judge Reed
closed the Court on Thursday evening, and
on Friday morning lett for Charleston,
whittier business called him.

JUDGE REED AT ABBEvILLE.

The Press d Banner contains the following
account of complimentary serenade given
Judge Reed during the late term of the Alb
beville Court
The Abbeville Silver Cornet Band sere-
naded Judge Reed at the Central Hotel
Wednesday night. After playing several
pieces of excellent music the Judge was
loudly called for. He promptly responded
in short and beautiful speech in which he
referred to "days of auld syne," when he
was Solicitor of this Circuit: He never
missed attending Court at Abbeville from
1850 to 186S-eighteen years. In that time
and during his visits he had formed high
opinion of the place. and strong attach
ment for the people Of Abbeville county,
who have always been distinguished for
their intelligence, education, culture, high
character and many virtues. They were
once the richest people IN the State, and he
was lead to believe from the looks of this
beautiful town that the sons of those who
had passed off the stage of action possessed
much of their fathers public spirit and en-
terprise. After paying deserved tribute to
the Judges of the old regime he said that he
should take them for his guide and would,
to the extent of his humble ability, seek to
emulate their virtues He appreciated this
mark of attention and kindness, which was
given, he supposed, mo1e on account Of the
performance of his duties in former years,
than for anything he had done at this scs-
sion of the Court After again assuring
them of his thanks he withdrew.

''What everybody says must be true"

The incontrovertible testimony offered by
those who have used DR.. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription induced the doctor to sell it
under positive guarantee. Many ladies
have refrained from using it on account of
the general feeling of prejudice against ad-
vcrtised medicines. Let me ask question.
Are you prejudiced against sewing ma
chimes because you have seen them adver-
tised? or can you doubt the ingenuity and
skill required in their invention? Again,
would you refuse to insure your house be-
cause the company advertised that they had
paid millions in losses, and yet had n capital
of several millions? Do such advertise
ments shake your confidence, and create
prejudices? Then why refuse to credit the
testimony of those who have found the
Favorite Prescription to be all that is
claimed for it in overcoming those ailments
peculiar to your sex? Why submit to the
use of harsh, and perhaps caustic treatment,
thus aggravating your malady when relief
is guaranteed, and positive, perfect, and
permanent cure has been effected in thou
sands of cases?
WABASH STATION, Ill.,, October "a, 1879.
R. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, N. ":
Dear Shallow me to extend my most
sincere thanks to you for the great benefit
my wife has received from the use of your
Favorite Prescription. She suffered almost
intolerable before using your medicine, and
I have tried the skill of several physicians
but Of no purpose. Finally thought
would give the Favorite Prescription trial.
and she is now sound and well.
Very gratefully yours,
D. A. HUNTER.

County Correspondence.
TO ,.,5 THE I,. rR1ENps OF THE FENCE Law.

Mr.. EDITOR Having seen the Act in re-
lation to the change in the Fence Law, and
as the time is short in which to get up the
petitions to the County Commissioners for
submitting the question to the voters, be-
tween the 10th and Goth of August, as re-
quired, I would beg that some concert of
action be had among the friends of the
change, and that they get up petitions in
each township at once, and that they be
sent to the County Commissioners by the
10Th inst, asking that it be voted on by the
goth of August. Otherwise, it cannot be
voted on until the 10th of December, which
would not give time for the law to go into
effect on the 1st of January next, as re-
quired. My reason for writing this card is,
that I was known to have taken quite an
interest in it when acted on before, and have
been appealed to from all parts of the
County to try and get it before the voters
again, and wish to have fair expression
and vote on it.
hereto append form of petition that
may be used in each township:
To the Commissioners Of anderson County
We, the undersigned taxpayers of -.
township, respectfully request your honora-
BILE body, under the provisions of the recent
act to amend the fence law of this State, to
order an election in Anderson County, and
every township therein, on Monday, the
Goth of August next.
Respectfully,
B. F. GRAFTON.

We had the pleasure of meeting Rev.
James H. Thornwell, of Concord, N. c., in
Anderson ON last Friday. He had been to
New Orleans in attendance upon the session

cENTREv1IIE MILLS.

Deep Creek Grange Hall is one mile from
Centreville Mills, in the opposite direction
from New Prospect Church. The Grange
by that name holds its meetings monthly at
this hall, and not at New Prospect Church,
as would be inferred from last weeks locals.
The hall is also used for school house,
church, and other public purposes. Rev.
J. B. Adger, D. D., breaches twice month
to attentive congregations in it. The Sab
bath school is certainly live one, as it has
been in successful operation during the
whole winter, and the interest increases.
The farmers are looking for rain with anx.
iety. Their crops are clean and ready for it.
1.-THE damage done the wheat crop by
the hail-storm one month ago was not so
great as imagined.... 1.-The farmers are about
out of work until rain or harvest. Some of
the more industrious have tied their plow-
lines together, and gone to measuring roads,

OUR BOOK TABLE.

The WEsTMINsTER REvIEw"'FoR APRIL
CoNrENrs-"Popular Fallacies concerning
the Functions of Government" "Courtship
and Marriage in France" "Charles Kings
ley," slavery in Africa" "Lord Macauley
as an Historian, "The Factory and Work
shop Acts" Russia Contemporary Lite
rature." The first article tries to throw
some light on the answers to the questions,
"Why would democracy at present be dan
gerous?" and "What is required to make it
safe?" "Courtship and Marriage in France"
is an attempt to trace the development of a.
typical French girl, her early education as
preparatory to her future establishment, the
sort of husband which she is likely to meet,
the mode in which she will be wooed, and
her probable destiny as a wife. A shortno-
tice of the life and letters of Charles Kings
ley is followed by long article on African
slavery, describing the extent to. which the
slave trade is carried on there, and the re-
sources that might be developed if the
natives could be persuaded to help Euro
peans in making roads and cultivating the
soil. The article on Macaulay is highly
eulogistic, and filled with quotations from
his history. It replies at some length to
Mr.. Gladstones structures upon him. The
essay on Russia speaks of the mode of life
among the peasants, the emancipation of
the serfs and its effects, the rapid growth Of
the country, and the present warlike aspect
of affairs. The periodicals reprinted by the

granted its beloved pastor, Rev. D. E. Fri
erson, leave of absence for two weeks,
which he will spendin Alabama, where he
has gone on visit to relatives and friends.
Mr.. Frierson is very popular here for his
many estimable virtues and his splendid
mental requirements, which render him
most agreeable speaker and pleasant COM
panion. He is diligent laborer in the dis
charge of his pastoral duties, and though
his services will be missed for the next two
Sabbaths in our midst, Mr.. Frierson will no
doubt find the rest and recreation of his
visit not only pleasant but of benefit to his
health and physical energies. We wish him
an agreeable sojourn.
The Williamson Female College Com
mencement will come off on the Goth and
21st of this month, as will be seen by refer
ence to our advertising columns. These
occasions are always of the most pleasant
character imaginable, and they invariably
attract large attendance of the elite of the
surrounding country, besides numerous Wis
itors from distance. The instruction i'm
parted at this institution is of very thor
ough order, and the commencement exer-
cises are such as to show off to good advan-
tage the literary attainments of the gradu-
atcs. No doubt many persons are enjoying
the anticipation of being present Oh the
coming occasion, which cannot fail, under
the management of Prof. Lander, to be a
grand success.
Among the many evils which are to flow
to this country from the Russio-Turkish
war. the greatest one we have heard predic-
ted is that we are to suffer from long-con-
tinued droughts during the progress of this
war, for the prognosticators of this calamity
say that the heavy cannonading along the
Turkish frontier will attract all the moisture
to that region, leaving us to parch up over
here; and they point, in proof of their cor
rectness, to the fact that while we have been
so dry there have been the most unprecc-

We. respectfully invite the attention of
our readers to the change in the advertise
nlent of the New York Cash Store. The
summer season is very dull, and money is
scarce, in consequence of which Messrs. Arm

the times, are offering Their, goods at the
most reasonable prices. To be convinced of
this it is only necessary to give them call.
We would respectfully ask the attention
of our delinquent subscribers to the fact that
we must have a little money to run news
paper on through the summer, and if each
of our readers who knows that he is in
debted to rs for subscription will send us
one dollar on his account during this month,
it will afford us the desired assistance. Do
not leave this request to be complied with
by your .neighbors, but pay in your own
