White Caps In Abbeville.

Rumors of visit Of the White Caps in Long
Cane Township have reached our town. It
seems that one night last week Il body of men
supposed to be members OF a prayer meeting
held in the neighborhood, went to MI. James
Haddon's place, and severely whipped white
woman, tenant Of his, for the alleged reason
that she told fortunes for negroes, &c. They
gave her notice to leave the neighborhood
The perpetrators should be made known and
dealt with according to law. Such acts should
not be countenanced by respectable people.

Editor Press and Banner:
The Farmers Alliance, composed of some
forty farmers living In the immediate vicinity
Of the Town Of Abbeyille, held O meeting In
the Court House on the afternoon OF last Sat
urday, and did that which, in view OF the fact
that the Alliance is generally undsrstood e
to the average citizen appear tnexpltcable
viz adopted o resolution expelling certain o.
its members because said members held stock

began? While the Ne,Ds and Courier and all
other papers Of the State are perslstently urg
ing, as the best means OF promoting the inter
ests OF the farmers, the establishment Of cot
ton seed oil mills In every county In the State
here comes q lot Of farmers Of Abbeville coun.
ty and undertake to visit, what they doubtless
regard, punishment upon certain OF their
number because they are assisting in the es.
tablishment Of such an enterprise.
To whose interest, pray, more than that Of

Editor, that 1t Is the same old spirit which has
done SO much to keep Abbeville in the back
ground In the past, and to place her where
she now stands, that is at the bottom OF this
thing, viz: the spirit Of jealousy or envy
that which doesn't like TO see another prosper.
l understand tnat certain memDer OF LnlS
Alliance became so wrought up by the con-
temptation of the immense profits which are
to be made by the oil mill that he couldn't
sleep, and so got out OF his bed and prepared
a speech to be delivered at the next meeting
Of the club. in which, it is said, he will under
take to demonstrate that the Oil mill will pay
for itself In one season, II this is true and
have 1t from O reliable source, am not very
likely correct In my diagnosis Of the case-that
there is more Of envy at the bottom of this
thing than a desire to guard the interests Of
the farmer? In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, will
say for the benefit Of the gentleman who has
allowed his feelings to become so excited over
the contemplation of the immense bonanza
which the oil mill men are about to strike as
to disturb his slumbers that he can get all the
stock in the Abbeville OIL Mill that he can
raise the money to pay for, at one hundred
cents in the dollar. PROGRESS.

EARLY FALL OATS
CORN AND FODDER.

The above train of "Thoughts' leads natur-
ally to the general subject Of sowing oats.
The abundant yield Of the last crop of oats,
the spring sown crop, will induce farmers TO
SOW largely the coming fall. The pendulum
will probably swing back to the other ex-
treme. Notwithstanding the repeated winter
killing of the crop we have never lost faith In
the superior wisdom Of the policy Of fall SOW
ing. But fall does not mean early winter.
The rule we have suggested as a good one, is
uary as the main crop of corn is planted after
the first of January. For instance, II Febru-
airy be the month for planting the main crop
Of corn, then oats may be sown In November; |;
IL corn be planted In March, then sow oats In
October; II April be the month for planting
corn, then oats should be sown In September.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Three OF the Boys Who Run
Around the Diamond.
ROBINSON, LYONS AND sHINDLE.
Robinson is Said to Be the Best Catcher in
the Association and denny" Lyons
Is No SLOUGH.

William Robinson of the Athletic club, is
by many, according to The Stage, considered
the best catcher in the American association.
He is a pluclzy, reliable back stop, great
thrower to bases, and, in short, one of the
finest catchers who ever stood behind the
plate. He belongs to that class known in
baseball parlance as "brainy" catchers, in
that he studies the weak points of every bats
man that comes upto the plate, and is, there
fore, good man to coach young pitchers.
Robinson invariably coaches Seward, and
to the formers judgment is, in great meas
ure, due the latter's success.
Robinson possesses one element of strength
that few catchers possess, and to that may be
attributed his success as a catcher, viz: cool
ness. He seldom loses his head and was never
known to lose his temper on the ball field.
Hot tempered players like Seward, Milhgan,
Glasscock, Baldwin and men of that ilk can
never be relied upon at critical stages of the
game or when the umpiring is in the least
faulty, but "Robby" always remains cool
and plays all the harder under adverse cir
cumstances In addition to being first class
catcher, Robinson is fine batter and an ex-
ceptionally good base runner. He is also
good utility man, being able to play any
position on the field outside of the pitchers
box.
Robinson was born in Hudson, Mass,
twenty-five years ago He is feet inches
