The best cider is made from late
ripenng, sound fruit, and in cool
weather when the fermentation is
gradual. Many early apples may
be worked up into sweet cider and
sold as such or made into vinegar.
This is one of the best methods OF
turning to account fruit that would
otherwise be lost.

We have received a late copy OF the AHe9an
other column in reference to Southern riga-
dicrs II Free Speech in the South. That
piece Is only n sample brick. The Republi-
cans seem disposed to organize a party Of hate
to the Southern people. The tone OF the u
gan Journal would indicate that the people of
Allegan lack Il long ways Of being up to the
civilization Of the most remote mountain re-
zion In South Carolina. That paper appears to
l,ave no regard for the statements which 1t
makes, and Is notably the most vulgar and
updicnifcd paper that has reached this office
for many day. 1t seems from this paper that
nothing scares a Northern Republican SO
much rs the mere mention of the name Of a
Southern %Brisadier. Its quotations from the
dbbyplIe Sentinel, the Charleston Nens and
(burier and General Butler are pure fabrica-
lions. The ~neanest thing being the manner
in which 1t inserts its own remarks about the
nfedcrated dead lines" with that paragraph
nprportipg to be from the Nt1s and Courier in
spch n way as to deceive the ordinary reader.
That. PAPERS reference to Stolbrand, and the

The elections In Indiana and Ohio last week

rylng Indiana In November. We nre not dis
posed to despair, but think That we should
profit by the lesson taught US in Indiana, and
the EMULATION Of the Republicans. "Sore-
heads" "Grecnbackers," Independents"
and other nelni Of the Democratic purity in
South Carolina,should stir us to q renewed Of
fort to secure tho victory In this State ut what
ever cost. In Abbevllle County there Is nose.
rious division among our people, and all We
have to fear is the want Of q due sense OF the
Importance Of exerting ourselves to the ut
most, in order that we may still hold the gov
crnmcnt against n willy and INSCRIPTIONS
foe. This is a time when every man Is en-
pectcd to do his whole duty, and we arc sure
that the gallant men who WORKED so hard In
IS will not now sit idle, and see the State
wrcsted from our hands. The danger Is upon
us, and the question Is, will you be true to
yourself and your State? We know that you
will.
Let the different clubs organize for active
work Mt once. The time Is short and not an
hour should be lost. The Republicans are
greatly elated ut the news from Indiana. ana
1t is feared that they may take US by surprise.
Heretofore they have been quiet and seeming
~ without organization. but within the past
few days they have done much, and we must
work or be defeated.
The citizens of Abbeville village We know
not forgotten how Magnolia Republican

Ing name their big sticks. and their gen.
eral behaviour will never be forgotten by any

that this club is now being organized, and
will no doubt attempt their old tricks. The
mere mentor Of thisfa fact alone will be suffi-
cient to set our people on their guard.

The Presentment Of the Grand Jury.

We give in another column the full text of
the prcscntmcnt OF the Grand Jury. AS 1t Is
Il public document, and as our fcllow-cltiZcns
who compose the grand jury were acting In
the highest capacity Of citizens, we presume
a few good humored remarks on that official
paper will not be nmisS.
In the first place, VIC sec no necessity lot
the erection Of - good plank fence around
the enclosure of the jail. Such an invest
ment would not in all probability, be q pay
ng oic.
The recommendation to collect and arpro-
pirate money at" preach the gospel to the in
mates of the poor house" may be a most SUI
pcrb investment. but We arc rather inclined
to the opinion that the money If spent in
shoes and blankets would be OF more practi-
cal service at this season Of tho year. 1t or
ours to MS that the Spring time would he the
better season in which to invest money In
'prcachlng' for the poor.
The words of praise OF the road overscers
We think Is observed. The roads arc certainly
now in a better condition than they have
been since the war.
Weasrce with the grand jury in their de-
clarations about the finances, whatever they
NAV nav ltsl ~ nv N'''
vcy the idea that the citizons of this county
are in n prosperous condition., we agree WIN
thom in the statement. II they referred to
; the condition Of the public treasury, we ap-
prove the expression as fully as If they had
referred to oar citizens.
The grand Jury state that crime In the
county Is on the decrease. We presume that
they had no reference to the crime Of sending
trinipr cases to this Court. When THO grand
Jury is Informed that the Solicitor dismissed
OF his own motion SIX out OF twelve indict-
mcnts that were sent up from trial justices
to his Court, We think 1t likely that they
had no reference to the useless expenditure Of
the public money III thus annoying citizens
upon mere p-c.exts.
The grand jury gives some interesting fig
urcs about the schools, just enough to whet
ones appetite. 1t would nave been exceed
lngly interesting reading If they would have
published the names of the school Trustees
who paid out OF the public funds sl0a month
for teachers. when the same teachers, or others
Just as good could nave been employed for so
q month. The liberality Of the School Trus-
tees In this respect forced the closing OF many
OF the public schools In three months, when
Trustees In other townships, with n prudent
care, both for the public funds II the inter-
est OF the children, were enabled to keep the
schools open for five months.
We will not remark" on the proprlcty or
improperly on the part Of Il egrand jury in
making an official acknowledgment that
they are indebted 10 the Judge. the Solicitor.
and the Constables for personal courtcsies cS-
tended to them. Judge Mackey we believe IL
always polite, and we never heard Of Solicit
or Cothran acting impolltely to either n jury
man or any one else, and we submit that 1t
Is tame praise when it Is only said that an
able and efficient officers had been Obsc-
QuiouS TO The jury.

ABBEvILLE COUNTY.
General Sessions.

To His Honor T. J. Mackey, Presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury at this the October Term
Of the Court respectfully herewith submit
their Presentment:
They lave examined the public buildings
and offices and suggest the following i'm
~provcmcnts:
The Sheriff should have a safe OF su Efficient
size to contain the books of his Office and we
recommend that such n one be procured.
At the February Term or the Court we
recommended that certain improvements
around the Jail yard be perfected, that 'is, a
good plank fence around the enclosure. This
has not been done and VIC again call it to the
attention Of the County Commissioner. In
all other respects the offices and buildings are
in good condition.
We recommend that the Interest be collect
ell on the Boissiou fund and DO applied TO the
preaching Of the gospel to The inmates Of tho
poor house.
VIC find the highways, with a few cxcep-
lions, in good repair. Nothing to report
against.
We congratulate the County upon tho pros
perlty in gcneral-of oil classes.
The finances of the County are in good con.
dition; the relations between all classes har-
monious, and we cannot but predict a bright
future for our County. Crime Is decreasing
and all things are quiet, even on the eve OF u
political contest.
From the Report Of the School Commits
sloncr we find that there are 2,2A colorcd
scholars, and I,776 white, which proves that
our colorcd population have their rights in
this behalf secured as they alike enjoy in all
others. The following shows the attendance
