There was a great animation on the
wharf at the foot of Harrison street yes
terday, owing to the arrival of several
cargoes of Christmas trees and ever
greens for the approaching holiday sea-
son. Immense piles of wreaths, crosses
and streamers, wrought In smilax holly,
cedar, spruce and pine sprays, and inter
woven with wintergreen berries, formed
the greater part of the cargo of the

This place is putting on new, clean face.
Painting and whitewashing are engaging
the time of several of the clerks and Others
who are not engaged in farm pursuits, and
from what we learn almost every house,
out house and store room, is to undergo
dressing ere the good work ceases......C Crops
are pretty clean, and generally look we'll.
The acreage of cotton is largely in excess of
the corn, and more attention it seems is
being paid to its culture. Some small grain
which has been already cut appears well
filled. Mr.. D. S. Mccullough has harves-
ted several acres of extremely fine oats,
upon one and one-sixth acres of which he
has over thirteen hundred sheaves, and
calculates to thresh over one hundred BUSH
els. Can any other section beat this'.....
Prof. II. G. Reed has given his pupils holi-

The Abbeville Medium has this to say in
reply to our article about the ladies of An
derson and Williamson:
Our neighbor has magnifed q molehill
into mountain, and written great deal
about nothing. Our crusade paragraph was
not intended as "a slur to the ladies OF two
refined and intelligent communities" we
simply gave circulation to rumor that
reached our ears of the intention OF the fair
daughters of Anderson to beard the lion
in his den" and subdue the demon OF ln-
temperance at every sacrifice. We did not
question their motives or improperly estl-
mate their zoal, but we doubted the success
of their crusade-only this and nothing
more. We gave the item as a matter OF
news. We heard it at Belton on our way
home from recent visit to Greenville, and
had no notion that "ninety-nine out OF
hundred readers" would have read 1t with
vulgar suspicion or take it as at all reflect
ing upon the ladies of either place named
in the paragraph.
This is as near an apology as our contem-
porary knows how to come, and shows that
his article was written inconsiderately and
without any foundation for what his imag-
ination built out of some meaningless joke
of some person who was acraming" the
editor with important "dots" for his jour-
nal. Considering everything, we suppose
the ladies ought to forgive him, and we will
Join them in doing so if he will not omit to
come to us as an exchange when he replies
to us, and will in future give no further Of
fence by repeating such nonsensical state
ments with an air of reality.

Evening Entertainment.

On Friday evening, the 30th inst, party
of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the
residence of Col. E. NJ. Rucker for the pur-
pose of spending few hours in social en-
joyment. No more suitable place could
have been selected than at this genial and
hospitable home. Each member Of the
party met most hearty and cordial recep-
ton at the hands of the Colonel and his
good lady. Free access was given to every
department of the home that would tend to
accelerate and heighten the festivities of the
occasion. Who could have done otherwise
than spend those hours pleasantly? The
party was composed of the elite of Ander-
son and Greenville. By 10 o'clock the
guests had all assembled, and on command
given by joviul Joe, Jack came to the front,
and after few strokes of that familiar old
air, the ladies mysteriously appeared ele-
gantly masked. Oh! how strikingly love-
ly! Now came the difficult problem to de-
cide-which was tother. For moment
deathly silence prevailed, then q rush for q
partner for the time being. After short
interval of time was spent in walking, talk
ing and courting, the ladies unmasked, and
10 and behold the disappointed, blank
corntenances, when it was revealed to whom
many of the young men had been paying
their attentions. The party, one and all,
enjoyed themselves most admirably, judg.
ing from appearances. Evenings spent i'll
this manner will be green spots, ever fresh
in our memories. LOCKER On.

A Tip-Top Picnic.

MR. EpITon: Having enjoyed the pleas
ure of attending picnic given by Miss
Emma Moore's school last Saturday, May
31st, day long to be remembered by those
present, and it having proved perfect sue
cess, 1 ask room in your paper for few
"dots" concerning it.
The members of the school, with their
comites, assembled at the academy, II miles
southeast of this, place, bearing baskets well
supplied with pabula, about 81 q. M.
Before o'clock the Juvenile band removed
to Archers Creek, a place selected by Miss
Moore-and beautiful place it was. There
we were joined by one Of the Trustees, and
family from High Shoals, among whom
was the teacher fiom the High Shoals Vi
cinity. The baskets were placed under
venerable old white oak, and fishing was
soon commemorative small ones fishing in
the creek and the large ones OH dry land,
the latter using the more energy. A group
strolled down the stream, landed on an
island, joined in playing "mumble-peg,"
but continued fishing.
About II q. IN. We strolled back to the
venerable oak. Between II and l p. III. the
baskets were opened and their luscious con-
tents profuscly spread, to which all were
cordially welcomed. Then came an impor-
tant part of the picnic.
Immediately after our sumptuous repast,
the talented and promising young law STU
dent, Mr.. C. E. Wardlaw, was called upon
to display his elocutionary powers, to which
request he kindly acceded. His large and
appreciative audience was highly amused US
we'll as instructed.
At the close of his address the lamb-like
crowd returned to the Aca. The remainder
of the afternoon was spent in social dance,
under the music of Mr.. Green, for which
he has many thanks. At p. III. the picnic
ended, and the crowd dispersed, exultinG at
the success of Miss Moorc's first picnic. A
more pleasant and sunny faced group have
never met. Everybody enjoyed it-big,
little, old and young. The school marm
has abundant reasons to be encouraged. l
have never attended a picnic that was more
universally enjoyed. Truly it deserves to
be termed "tip-t"p.'
The success with which the day was crowned,
The joy that filled the meeting,
Shall in our every heart abound,
While to Miss Moore VIC tender greeting.

should be wrapped in these two papers
would, therefore, be more comfortable than
if some Others afforded the covering, Tor
when some papers differ an immense
amount of caloric is generated in the way

We regret to announce the death Of Mrs.
Sallie Breazeale, wife of Mr.. s. A. Brea-
zeale, which occurred at the residence OF
her husband in the town of Abbeville on
Tuesday, the 3rd inst. Mrs. Breazeale was
q daughter of the late Rev. William MCGEE
of this County, and leaves many relatives
and friends in our midst who mourn her
untimely death. She was an excellent and
amiable lady, who made friends wherever
she went. On Wednesday her remains
were inferred, after appropriate funeral SER
vices, in the family burying ground near
the site of the residence of her father in
this County. The services were largely at
tended by the relatives and friends OF the
deceased, who feel the most sincere regret
for the death of one so dear to them.
According to previous announcement, the
eleventh anniversary of Anderson Division
No. 1, Sons of Temperance, was celebrated
by public meeting in the Court House on
Thursday evening last. At the appointed
hour the Division filed out of Temperance
HALL and marched in procession to the Court
House, where they found q large audience
awaiting them. After music by the Pal
metto Band and prayer by Rev. ]. E. Car
Isle, the Worthy Patriarch, Mr.. Charles q.
Langston, introduced in a short and appro-
pirate speech Mr.. 81. G. Scudday as the first
speaker for the occasion. After referring
to the reorganization of the Division after
the war, when the morals of the whole
country were more or less corrupt and in
temperance was rife, and to the great sue
cesses that had attended the efforts of the
temperance workers, he discussed in an able
and instructive manner the subject of true
human greatness. Rev. w. II. Strickland
was next introduced. He entertained the
audience for nearly an hour in discussing
the objections generally entertained by the
public to organized opposition to intemper-
ance. His speech YVES very strong argu-
ment for the temperance workers, and was
interspersed with an appreciable amount Of
humor. he held the close attention of the
audience throughout his entire address, and
evidently made deep impression on their
minds. At the close Of Mr.. Strickland's
speech, the meeting was closed by benedic-
ton by Mr.. Carlisle.

THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.

According to the indications Of
Wednesday the democratic house is dis
posed to divide against itself. Some of
the northern me mbers are firing of the
ceaseless tugs Of the southerners at the
public teat, especially as the criticism of
the people is felt most severely by the
former. What is especially ~exasperat-
ing in the case, Is that the southern
members are forever prating about
"having staked their all on the rebel
lion and lost" and offering to ''give a
full receipt for all losses and damages
sustained by the south by the war;
and expressing a willingness t, have "a
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the payment of any southern claims"
and then come up smiling with some
bill Of claims, under the guise Of chari-
ty. They have, 80 far, given the lie to
their ~utterances, and proved conclusive
ly that they are dissemblers. And the
northern democrats must bear all the
evil that falls on the party in conse-
quence. The s%outherners are solid
anyway, and make themselves still
more solid by advocating claims, but in
the north, those claims are a stencil in
the nostrils Of the people and they will
have none Of it. So the northern dem
ocratic members find themselves pun
ished for the sins of their southern
brethren. This is not palatable nor even
tolerable to these gentlemen, and they
have, through mi or two representa-
tlves, made n vigorous protest.
Right here w may mention how the
southern members hold the trump cards.
Party legislation in congress is shaped
by the party caucus. In the democratic
caucus the southern members are in the
majority, and thus are they able to
largely control legislation in their in
terest. But on the bill paying over a
good sum Of money to William and
Mary college, enough northern demo-
Gratis recently voted with the republic
can to ave their party from further
defeat in northern states. Only by
boiling from the caucus mandates can
the northern democrats maintain party
organization above Mason and Dixon's
line, while the very fact hat there have
been, and promise to be more, bolts,
serves as a powerful lever to pry still
wider the breach between the two fac
lions.
All northern people will admire the
course Of the northern democrats. The
rampant ~southerners, ready at any time
to organize a guerrilla raid on the treas
ury, ought to be sat down upon, and
vigorously, too. Still, as long as open
warfare continues, the republicans may
be excused for smiling in satisfaction.
1t is an axiom made sacred by the lips
Of the lowly Nazarene that "a house
divided against itself cannot stand"
