The Decline Of Home PoIiteness.

There is general complaint at home and
abroad OF the decline of politeness Al
though part of the lament may be due to
the time honored feeling that things are
not now as th.y ::sed to be yet there is
still good cause for the oftheard moan In
America we La, perhaps too little stress
upon the outward and visible signs Of an in
ward grace. We think it enough that q
person shall mean well, no matter how far
short he may come Of expressing his good
Intentions There appears to be so great q
rush to accomplish the daily round OF bust
hes that little time, if any at all, Is given
to those acts Of graceful courtesy, so trifiing
in themselves, yet which contribute greatly
to reduce the friction of home and social
life to minimum. This living by the
cock, this running for train or boat, leaves
no margin for quiet stateliness In act and
spec b.
Children are too often allowed latitude
! which form rly only was permitted to per-
sons OF mature years, and hod opinions
upon matters far beyond their ken, express
ing them freely in and out OF season This
prevents ITEM from having becoming re-
spect for their superiors in years and knowl-
edge. 1t was delightfully."- refreshing TO hear
a celebrated physician say the other day: "ln
my opinion, whether son be or 40 years
Of age, SD long as he lives under the sama
roof with his father no should Cefer to his
parents slightest wish. IL this be not posi-
ble, he should make his abode elsewhere;
but wherever he may lie his father must be
treated with due reverence
Good manners are really the outcome of
unselfish natures; il manners are almost q
synonym for se!fshness 1t may Le said
that it is impossible to change a persons
nature. and nothing can be gained by talk
ing. True, there can be no absolute boule-
vergemeut OF this sort, but there may te so
great o modification that unpleasant quail
ties will lie rem lered quite endurable. @Care
killed cat" says the old provsrb, ana IL
can also kill d.sagreeab.e manners Apropos
OF this, bright girl recently said to me:
/ "lou can eipcate anything in this world.
Even unmanageaole feet may be made
tractabie If you viii only train them per
sistently, for many an ill shapen foot is the
result OF care,essness Ii feet are inclined
to breadth and hatIess, take pains as TO
how you walk never allow the feet to touch
the ground with force, and they will soon
repay your care" 1t therefore only re-
| quires a little carefuness ani sympathy for
others to soften our manners and bring
about that Difference ami courtesy which is

The SIapIetOn Factory.

It is, we believe, not generally known that
we have in Abbcville county, cotton factory
in full opcration, but such is the fact. MeSSrS.
SearleS IL Dallas have one on Little River, hVc
miles south OF Mccormick. with ~ capacity OF
about two hundred pounds of yarns per day.
The machinery is perfectly new, and OF the
latest stycS, all of which is run by hrSt-cl;'Ss
turbine wheel. The house is not full oi ma
chinery-the wheel is only taxed to Part OF
ats capacity, and with some additional ma
chincry the daily work Of the factory could be
fully doubled, without any pcrccrlible in
crease of cost for house room, water-lower or
labor. We learn that the mill now pays rom
twenty t. thirty per cent. and with aduitlonal
capital the profits would Dc greatly Increased.
1t seems to US that ii the capital stock was Ell
largcd that the investment would he 4 most
profitable one to the invcstcr. while doing
much to build up an important industry and
y valuable institution III our county. III
McSsrs SearlcS & Dallas could be induced TO
sell stock sufficient to fill the house with ma
cninrry they would not only DO themselves
:, good but would furnish an cNcellenJ "ppnr-
Tunty for others to reap handsome proilt
from their investment. The demand for the
goods manufactured at this factory is unlln-
itcd, and the price offered is always the high

notice in the newspapers of the town that
number of the merchants of Abbcvillc have
advertised that they will close their stores at
& O'clock from 18th May to 1st September.
This custom las prevailed in Abbcrille for
several years, and the patrons of The stores
have submitted to it withouta complaint, and
il is not now my desire to disturb the pleasure
and recreation the merchants and clerks may
have in pursuing this course. We are all i'll
terestpd in the stores, for they are our "grana-
ries and meat houses" II the merchants
knew how much the farming interest is dis
turbed by closing at & o'clock, am sure ihcy
would make some arrangement to allow the
farmer the privilege OF buying his supplies at
any time during the day until sun down.

COLONEL AIKEN'S LETTER.
Owing to Ill Health He Declines to
Enter the Canvass for Reelection.

CoKEsBURY, S. C., May il, 1886.
Editor Press and Banner:
Lattcrly I have RECEIVED numerous letters
from avowcd friends, cnquiring whether it
was my purpose to enter the approaching
canvass Hs q candidate for reelection tU Con-
grpss. Justice to them and others demands
that should make my determination known.
My health at present is so precarionS that
can venture nothing unon the future and l
have therefore concluded not to enter the
canvass ut all.
But one word to the Democracy of the
Third District, and it shall be but single
word:
Grattnde! Gratitude! Gratitude!
a dictionary of words linked together in
nicely polished sentences would not more ac.
curately express my gratitude for their re-
peated manifestations of confidence than
does this simple word itself. I have tried to
serve them satisfactorily: If have not done
so. hope they will attribute it to inability,
for T am sure. my every effort so to do, has
hcen performed with an eye single to the
faithful DISCHARGE of duty.
Respectfully, D. WYATT AIKEN.

A Youth Active I,l Church Work.

Editor Press and Banner:
We trust that we shall not oycrleap the
bounds of propriety in paying Il compliment
to IL worthy son of an old friend. At the re-
cent Sunday School Convention held at Lown-
dcsvlle, on the 7th and Sth instant, was a
youth of only fourteen summers present as
the representative of the Cokcshury school.
We were deeply impressed by the sight of
one so young occupying so responsible posi-
ton in his Sunday school. We wouId encour-
age our young friend to increased activity in
this department Of church work and trust
many other young men will initiate his en-
ample. Our pleasure was further increased
Sunday school, which would have reflected
credit upon the oldest member present. We
congratulate Zack McGhee in having received
the mantle of Col. L. II. HerndOn, his old Su-
perintendent. +.

HOW Nominated.
LaurenS advertiser.

The time is near at hand when we must de-
eide us to the mode Of making nominations
for State officers and Congressman. This
question has been considerably agitnted by
the State press, and the Farmers Convention
has passed resolution in favor of the PrIna-
ry plan. The ADVERTISER has heretofore ad-
vucatcd this plan and it is to be hoped that
our County Democratic Club will give the
matter III lentiOn.
\ nomination by the Democratic Party is
equivalent tu an election, and this being the
should not directly participate in mating the
nominations. The County Club Of Ahbevillc,
has already declared in favor Of the plan, so
far as Congressman are concerned, and we
trust Laurens will dc likewise at least.

THE CROPS OF THE STATE.
Their Condition as Compared with

The State Department Of Agriculture has re-
ceircd 2l4 special reports from County and
township correspondents regarding the con

OF these reports for publication
The Spring has been cod and generally un-
favorable, retardng farming operations.
During March cold weather and high winds
farm work progressed rapidly during the
month. Rain was general throughout the
Slate at the close of the month, greatly bcne-
lifting all growing crops.
COTTON.
Notwithstanding unfavorablc seasons. it is
estimated that 81 per cent of the cotton crop
had planted by May |. Early gcrEinaton OF
lack of rain. Thlrty-onc per cent. OF the crop
is 'up," against 81 per cent at the same time
last year. The general condition of the crop
is not so good as last year, but an i'm
the latter part OF April. The reports indicate
" decrease OF 5 per cent. in the area cultivated
below the acreage of 1850 The use of com.
mcrcial fertilizers on cotton has been de-
creased II per cent, and 3l per cent. OF the
crop has uecn tcrtiliZcd with homemade
manureS. Cut.wOrnS have partially destroy.

Does the .'st0ck Law Apply to the
Town Of AbbcvilIc:

One would not think so if they will take q
walk on our back streets and "cclcbuLS.
From early morn till dcwy eve you can see
cows of every description in every place cN-
cept where they ought to be.
1t is Il nuisance which ought to be abatcd at
once. Little negroes pretend to hold these
cows out 10 pasture, when in fact they arc cl-
thcr tied to shade trees or brushes near the
Or-not tied at ALL and dcprCtating
on some garden. clover patch oats patch, or
flower garden. One can scarcely walk Il back
stcct without running up against 4 COW.
Three weeks ago the writer saw too little ne
grOcS deliberately drive q cow across Il uitch
into Il clover patch and make swift tracks to
the branch. The COW was at once taken up
by the owner OF the clover, and the boys were
willing to swear that the COW broke away
from them and they were looking for her.
MANY Of the valuable shade trees planted by
Mr.. Kirby have been injured, torn down and
destroyed by these COWS. Only l:tSt week the
writer saw two nice trees killed in this way.
Whv is his thing permitted by the Council ?
If one is too poor to provide food for Il COW,
they ought to sell her and buy milk. The fol-
lowing on the hog is equally applicable to the
COW:

The OUtlOOES.

The stands Of cotton. with few exceptions,
are very unsatisfactory.
The stands of grass is unusually g0"u, ana
the crops are growing with vigor. Pastures
slre good but Thousands of acres OF good pas
ture land have no fencing. w
The oat crop Is in y precarious condlt'on.
With favorable seasons from now until lnatu-
rity good crops will bc made. but Without ear
ly rains the crop must be very short.
It Is estimated that the wheat crop Will DC
about equal in yield to the seed Sown
Greatly increased areas of upland corn
have been planted, and the stands are excel
lent, and the crop is growing off finely.
