The Wtoli of Rain
The news we have received from all parts ef
the futility gives us melancholy accounts of the
det-t ruction of crops, washing of land and wrecking
of bridges. For seven consecutive "ltys the
rain fell almost incessantly, ofteiv?j> t\rrcp.'s
and accompanied by strong winds and nail.?
The creeks and rivers were higher thanTiid been
known for many years, while the lands ndjoiuitig
them were so completely overflowed that
corn five feet high could not l>e s ^v.HThJ
overflow continued for at least three drti^^td
in some casesjllK' waters have iiotjretlrot^^^^1
A gentleman of voracity informs us that vvtyit
is known on the I'acolet river as Ilio Norris
l.ami, containing four liun<lrc<l acres of tlif
finest "liuitntn laud ' of that section, on Snmlay
morning last was one vast slicet of water?lie
?1 i 1 not helieve there was one acre of it that could
he seen, lie also informs us that the hridgos %t
Trough Shoals ami Hurricane Shoals, in is par tanliiirg
t'onniy, wetc'eojiipleiely carried aivi^,
Murphy's, Heaty's and (list's Hridgcs, on Tjrger
IJivcr in this county, are all gone, and tfie
liottom lands along their banks completely ovtrtlowcd.
The only bridge on Fair Forest that has bfcen
carried away is that of lliee's.
The destruction <>f grain is truly lamentable.
The wheat in t hc^lmck lias sprouted in every
instance, ami not less than one-half the crop,is
i-ilher totally destroyed or so seriously injured
that it will hardly make Hour tit for use. The
oat crop also has hecn so seriously damaged that
not morn than otif quarter of t
promised two weeks ago will he niaoT. ^
The coin on the hut torn lands will, in muosi

Where corn can he straightened up from tin

hie rains is the ruin of much of the finest hot

From all that we chii learn from friends in al
parts of the County, the destruction was s<
great that the prospect^ f<>. crops of every kite

Proceedings of Court
The June term of Court for this Coiiuty cm- ,
vened last Monday about 12 o'clock, Judge L I t
C. Northrop presiding. j
In consequence of the heavy rains, hy which <
many of the bridges were carried away, sonic of t '
the (irnnd and Petit Jurors were not in attend- ' <
ance, aud some time was consumed in filling '
their places. Alter tlie (jraiul Jury was im- I
panelled, the Clerk read in open Court the com- i
' mission of the Judge from Coventor Chamber- <
lain to filLyut tlie unexpired term of ox-Judge i
"Aloses. I
The foreman of the tirand Jury presented the !
following petition i
7'" Am /tounr ./?/</</< \orlhro/i: | i
In view of the disastrous Hoods which have i
visited this County during the past week, :ic- '
1 cessarily putting a stop to all agricultural ope- i
rations at the time when harvesting the grain j
crops re(|iiircs the attention of every farmer,
and believing an enforced attendance at the
Court would at this lime do much to complete
the disaster, we would respectfully suggest the
dismissal of the Juries for the present term. :
lies peel fully submitted,
J. W. McLUIlK, Foreman. j
The Solicitor opposed the dismissal of the Jn- '
rics, mainly upon the ground that it would t>c
unjust to the prisoners then in jail, who were
entitled to speedy trial, and upon the further
ground that he had many cases that ought to lie
, acted on by the tirand Jury, at this term.
Anxious to he just to all parties the Judge
, ; informed >he tirand Jury that h>

I An'il the next day at l'J o'clock, M., to mtfkc t heir
, iTr^sentnient, when they should be discharged.
In the meantime he was willing to excuse from
j serving this term those Jurors whose interests
. in the crops demanded their attention. Cpon
I this aiiiii'iiueeiiiiMit a number of jurors from the
I country were discharged and citizens of the vil- I
lage chosen to till their places, upon both the
tirand and Petit Juries. The Judge then dci
livered an elaborate charge to the (Iran J-i^try, '
I whieli was listened to with close attention
j throughout, and gave general satisfaction,

Primary Elections.
On our first page will lie found an excellent
irticle front the Camden Jour/ml upon the subect
of nominating candidates for t'ounty ofii"
. ers at the primary meetings of the people.?
IVc invite a careful examination of the plan as
explained by the Journal.
We regret thai wc have not paid more at tenlion
to the matter before this, as the plan com
mends itself to our judgment. By it a majority
jf the people of the t'ounty would really nomi
aatc the candidates, and the delegates to the
County Convention from the various townships
would be chosen lo count the voles of each canili
late ami iiumiunec the choice of the people,
as expressed in their primary meetings.
Such a procedure would produce many very
desirable results: li would draw out the voters
to the primary meetings ; it would disarm
croakers of the charge that the "village clique
made the nominations it would prevent logrolling
at (lie Comity Convention, and what, to
our mind, i< more important, it would unite the
people upon a ticket of their own making and
give no chance for so-called Independent candidates
to distract the party. The choice of candidates
having been thus made l?y a majority of
the people, at their primary meetings, the man
who would presume to run sis an independent
candidate would opeulv oppose the expressed
j^lies of the people, and could have no other |
aim 'J^aii to defeat their nominations, and must
be claflB, where lie truly belongs, wiUi the
^MfcHcar the time is now too short before the
t^nWi^whicetiugs arc held, f>r the plan to be
si.lliciently known and understood throughout
the County to ensure a fair test of it, but we
sugge-i that where there is a full meeting of
the citi/ciis of a town-hip that a vote of preference
for all county ollicers he taken.
Wc are anxious to remove every obstacle that
stands in the way of obtaining unity of action
in the I'cinoeratie^Tnks.' Wo would have the
nominations made to suit the people, uot to
please those who want ollice.

For
A ' High Old" MeetingFiui:m?
Storks:?Saturday last 1 took ilio
liberty, with a friend, of attending the radical
meeting at the (Sold Mine (colored) church.?
This church is used by the colored people for
their religious, political and any other meetings
they may call, in aid of the Itadical cause. 1
was informed by .lolui Norris, a colored man,
that Col. I. (?. MeKissick and .June Mobley
would be there and speak, but 1 found but few
of the faithful present and the speakers mom r.tf?
After a little parleying Norris invited the crowd
into the church, and as we were a part of thnt
crowd we followed the leader and went in.?5
Norris then told the assembly that the meeting
was called to get the voice of the colored peojf
pie of that township upon the school lax. Although
1 am never surprised at any "under-'
hold" the radicals take tmw-a-days to carry a
point, this did raise my suspicion.
Jordan Jones was called to the chair, but declined
the honor, feeling iueoinpiMciit. Peter
Stevens had no such low e->iimato'*of his powers
as a presiding otlicer. so took the chair, but upon
informing the meeting that lie belonged to
Spartanburg, he was relieved, and Simon Voting
assumed iho portion. As Norris was the only
Kadioal present who could write, he was chosen 1
Secretary. J
The meeting being thus organized, Norris
friend, Mr. Asa ^^nttli,
know t^ot
home in J lie
on ho is
to oApurtunity to do a good
for bis county, sialic responded to the call a n
in a few wortls told (lie colored men many
wholesome ,
Norris then delivered himself oflVlong speech,
in which he urged the colored people to guard
well their interests and rights, attend the meeting
next Saturday and vole for the school tax.
A1.the close of his speech he called for a vote
! . ...
I uiwii iiic ia.\, warn ii uui mi i.i mi uic coiorcu
men Voted lor I In* tax.
Norm, during Ins speech, attempted to riiliJ
culc John Hardy, ii good old colored man, who
i was tree he Tore (lie war and who lias always voI
ted the Democratic ticket, much to the annoyI
mice and disgust of the said Norris. Norris
said that Hardy had never paid any tuition for
i his children; iliat he wus.a widower and couldn't
' get a wife in llogansvilloTowuship. This brought
Hardy to Iris feet, and his venerable head fairly
I quivered, lie jj^y.ied the cliarcet 'J**fs>
| to get a wife,
' 'l J generally be picked tip. m

As regard the lynchers the proclamation is B 4
brrtum Mu'tn. A u hole community cannot be ^
'" arrested and tried, ami the lynchers acted in
such a way a? to disperse the responsibility of
""" the deed. Whether the summary punishment
! inflicted upon the desperadoes who killed the
' ' Harmons was right or wrong, we have probably
nit of heard the last of it. The (Sovcrnor is right in T
ot l?e Jising ad eflbrts to vindicate the majesty of the
but neither he nor the grand jury, assisted
' ' '.^ras tfley may be by Judge Cnrjtenter, can treat
uutii- , ||1L, lynching albiir as an ordinary murder. If
never ; one of tlie lynchers were arrested, we doubt if
s'-oii- the Shorill of lldgrfiehl County could keep him
