Abbeville Pres and Banner The reve.
nue. officers on Wednesday last seized
thirty.three packages of whissey at the
residence of Col. j. E. Calhoun. In con-
versation with Col. johnson, who is in
charge of the revenue force, he expressed
the opinion, which was fully endorsed by
Mr.. Kennedy, member of the force,
that Col. Calhoun had not Intentionally
violated the revenue laws; they had the
fullest confidence in the Colonel's good
intentions his mistake was in buying
from wagoners who had not paid the 90
cents tax un the gallon, instead of pur.
chasing from regular licensed dealers; !;
every member of the force will sign pa
per recommending the proper authorities
to compromise with the Colonel. The
Abbeville Rifles have organized and
elected the following officers: NJ. l..
Bonham, Jr., captain; S. G. Cason. first
lieutenant; w. G. MCGOWAN, second
lieutenant, /. P. Cothran, secretary and

generally known that almond trees can
be grown in this country as easily as peach
trees. The trees are cheap, and in course
of q few years they bear crops of the fin
est nuts in the world. The crop is more
easily destroyed by frost than is the peach
crop.
