Democratic Meetiiiir.
The Democratic chairman of this county,
Win. Elliott, E-'j., calls a meeting of '
the voters of his party to meet in this ;
town on Tuesday, October S. It is unj?lucntini*
is to consider I
UCr9U>vu luai iiiv .i.w...., .. -- .
State and county a flairs and decide upon
some united action, if possible. We
are glad to see this action taken, it i*
only thus that the Conservative vote of j
the county can be made effective for |
good. If the meeting will s elect from j
the several countv and t-'tato ticket- such '
names as seem to them to be the be.-t
and earnestly recommend such to the i
Democrats and Conservatives of the ;
couuty, the effect may he to elect such, i
and thus prove to nominating conventions
the value of careful selection.
In regard to State matters, we earnestly
ask the Democrats to consider the fo'3y
of inaction at the present time. - o 1
thinking man van come to ^!ie conclusion
that there is no difference between he j
two tickets. Moses has been proved to \
be a deliberate villiun. lie has heen
and is a corruptionist as a legislator; a
peculator as a public officer; a demagogue
as a politician. Against Mr. Tom
linson the greatest crime is that he is a
Northern man. In every community j
where he has lived his reputation has |
? * I
been unspotted. Even aniong those wtio j
are now his enemies until his nomination
he has been admitted to be an honest:
man. His only tradueers now arc men !
so steeped in crime as to be beyond even 1
a denial of their guilt. Their only chance !
is to bring others, if possible, to their own j
level, llenee such men as Maekev, (Jardozo,
Meitou and ?>Io. es, like the prostitutes
they resemble, /eagerly deny the !
existence of that purity and virtue they j
have long since discarded. It is possible ;
that Mr. Tonilinson may be in lieaui'ori j
on the 8th inst. If so the opportunity '
will be given to all to hear him speak for ;
himself.
DEL AMI Y AM) THE NEDS.
The Charleston Xnrx (.Muses' or.an.)
strives to convince tax payors tliat its j
candidate is in favor "{'repudiating six ff!
seven millions of the State bonds issued j
by Scott and Parker, ari 1 made valid by
the votes of Moses and the men uh>

UN WCDDIXG.
One of those pleading episodes thai
makes life and its cares forgotten foi
the time being, occurred at the Sea Is
land House last Thursday evening ir
the form of tin wedding to Mr. am
Mrs. Geo. M. Wells. A large number o
ladies and gentlemen, were present
and each one considered it a duty in
cumbent upon them to present a tir
vessel of some pattern, and to enume
rate the articlts specially, would be t<
till up one of our columns at least
which in these political times, we can
not to spare. To say that the recipi
ents were supremely happy, would be i
superfluity?and the guests were in th
same frame of mind. We will be per
sonal enough to mention that princ
of ubiquity, Kingman, who furnishei
the comestibles for the occasion, am
he afterwards told our contidentia
tympanum, that he "astonished him
self,'' and we have no doubt he did
for a better table never was laid in hi
hotel. The party broke up at midnight
" Oue of them Repents.
Mr. S. J. Keith, a member of th
House of Representatives from Darling
ton county, produced in the county con
vention lately held for that county, a pa;
certificate signed.by Franklin J. Moses
J?\, as Speaker of the House of Repre
.-entatives which Mr. Keith explains
as follows:
4<Mr. Moses, Speaker of the House o
Representatives, called liie into his 10011
and toid me he would issue me a pa;
certificate, and asked who it should b
made out in favor of. I gave him th
name of my brother, J. 11. Keith,
knew it was a fraudu'ent certificate, bu
he gave it to lue of his owu free will an<
accord.
The number of the certificate was Coil
drawn March 13, 1>T2, in favor of J. II
Keith, amount 8114, purporting to b
given for sixty nine days' service, signc
F. J. Moses, Jr., Speaker of the Horn
of Representatives, and attested by A. <'
Jones, Clerk. It was endorsed on th
back by J. II. Keith, and also by a
order of Xiles G. Parker, State Trcasu
rer, on the county treasurer of Darling
ton, to pay the same out of any funds i
his hands belonging to the State.
Mr. Keith, who was a candidate for rc
election, burned the certificate in pres
mice of the convention, expressing grea
sorrow for his error in accepting it.

There remains now but t'wo weeks unour
State election, when the voters of
uth Carolina wiil be called upon to dee
whieli ol the two, Reuben Tonilin1
or Franklin J. Moses, Jr., shall be
r next Governor, it is high time,
ircfore, that the Conservatives were
tling upon the course which they wiil
"sue. We desire to say something tov
in favor of lleubeu Torniinsoti; for,
ng ourselves thoroughly persuaded
it im is incomparably superior to his
npetitor, we arc anxious that the iu igont
and well-meaning citizens of the
ite should regard him in the same
lit, and should give hi ,i a general and
arty support at the polls. We are
il aware that it is hut ordinarily weak
jimendarion of a man to say that he is
Iter than Moses, it would be a dilli
It task to dud any man who wouid >ufhy

A Third Ticket.
Nothing would please the Muses
vtv better, for nothing; would mon

at the white comervativts should
it forward a third ticket for btatt
iecrs in the coming election. Tin
lorid people of the state arc for

ihcrto been taught a blind obedience

r them to shake oh* at once the part}
ackles wheh have bound them, and

attempt on our part to run a tio
conservative ticket would inevitably tw<
frighten them aft back into the support twi
of Moses or of the devil himself could for
his satanic majesty's proverbial pride wh
permit him to take Moses place. The the
Moseyitcs, therefore, would chuckle cul
with delight if the whites could in any ha:
way be induced thus to play into their ret
hands. dri
Next to an open nomination, it suits
their purposes best to impress the
apprehensive colored people with the
dread that in some secret hocus-pocus '
way the white people intend to
consolidate their votes upon a third !C
man and run him in for Governor Ku
between Moses and Tomlinson. They am
are now assiduously stuffng the an(
credulous minds of the colored people ,,

such fear can be removed, will, lnc
doubtless, influence many of them to wii
vote for Moses against their better
impulses. It is time, therefore, for [0
our people to take sides definitely in qq
the coming State election, that the pj.
colored may see where we are. No jt
decent man of course, can vote for ]o;
Moses. Some may not vote for 0t
Tomlinson, but we are confident that ci,
alarge majority will. th
With anything like a full white vote fle
the chanees are that Tomlinson and m,
his ticket will be elected by a handsome m
majority. Between him and Moses there pj
i is no comparison, and the duty of all [A
j good citizens, in our judgment, is plain be
1 and unquestionable. There is nothing th
in Mr. Tomlinson or his ticket to ki
arouse the enthusiasm of the people, at
but we should do our duty, nevertheless;
and if we believe that he would
fill the office of Governor more usefully
to the State than Moses, we should .

South Carolina Politics, 01
Advices from South Carolina arc better
Ci
than anybody lias, for some time past, ^
been venturing to hope. Not improbab- pj
, ly wo may see there the defeat and des- xe
i traction of the Scott-Parker ring and the Cr
election of Mr. Tomlinson, tlx; bolters' /
candidate, as Governor. Our readers
j know what that would uican?at least so
j flu* as concerns the overthrow of the ring. .
which has done more to make the name A
of the North an offence in the nostrils of .
the South than any ten army crps we Il)
ever scat there. And so far as concerns e(
the success of Mr. Tomlinson, we can as- ,l1'
i i i . a .. l:. el
I sure them or our own Knowledge mm, ms
! election tin;}- may heartily desire as being f!(
| the success of a capable and honorable !'
j man who thoroughly knows the ring, and .
: of a per.'ectly sound Republican*. It is f!!
not inir habit to have much to say about l'
i local elections; hut there are aspects of Vl
I this South Carolina election in which it is s!
' seen to Ire anything but local; in which it n
is seen to he of e\en more than national P1
i importance.

! cans, or good Democrats either, who vah I'l

J money, s> far as money *is legitimately
I ii'ed in political cor.te.ts than in helping
I to bring the Se-rtt gang to justice, or, at ''
j the le:of. to take the State out of their a
J hau ls. As we say, tlsere is a fair pn ?- ''
f p--ft that this ma\ be done; Imf the work ol
t of doing it will bo bar', and the time in
; which to do it is not long, the election P:
f being only three week- distant. V/e wii!

Important To Sportsmen.

a breech-loading double-barreled
n,'possessing simplicity and durability,
i adapted to all kinds of 'sporting*'
I "gaming," has been filled to the
ery letter" in "Parker's Breech Load\
Double Barreled Shot Gun.T' It is
thout doubt the best breech-loading
n in the world, and its merits need but
be seen to be enthusiastically endorsed.
ie simplicity of its construction; the
rfect cartridge; the facility with which
can be loaded and unloaded, or the
id changed from oue sized shot to anher;
the ease with which it may be kept
;an;_ its lo?? killing range; and last,.
ougb none the less important, its wonrful
cheapness?all combine to cornend
it overwhelmingly to every sportsan
who can appreciates perfect fowling
ece. It eclipses the English Breechinder
(which was thought by many to
i the best in the world) in everything
at constitute a reliable gun?accuracy,
iling range, equal distribution of shot,
id in shells, which are metalic.
Iu-aud iu Breeding,
During a recent discussion in England,
was stated that the most successful 1
ics of short-horns were those in which
le animal was the sire of the sire and of
ic dam also?thus make the parents
df brother and sister by the same sire
it of dicrffent dams. This system of
eeding had produced some of the finest
ittle in the country. It was also said
at where cattle were closely inbred and
eserved their constitution, they had a
tidcncy to lose color, save perhaps the
irs, and to become whiter.?Canada
