Sum ToN, Sep. 1.-Cotton picking has been very much retarded the last ten days by ths constant rains, and if it contin ues much longer the cotton will sprout in the boll as it did two years ago. Brock & Rutledge's ginnery is running on full time. It is the most complete ar rangement I know of. You deliver your cotton in the hopper 'from the wagon; the elevator takes it up to the gins; you drive under the seed box, and your seed is all dumped in your wagon; your cotton is packed and delivered in your wagon: you don't see your cotton after it leaves your wagon until it is ready for market. The C. S. & N. railroad will have a tele graph office at the Summerton depot in a few days. It will be a great convenience for the cotton buyers of this place.

Young and old are invited. The colored folks had much display to day, fixing up things. Hog, rice, lemonade, and other eatables were in abundance. It has surprised us to know what a fine dinner they could fix up. They seem to enjoy life. They evidently deserve much credit for be havior where so large a crowd were assem bled. While our would-be politicians were assembled at Ma'ining, devising schemes whereby to obtain a foothold, the colored people here were massed in the pleasures of a sociable picnic.

Enrron MAssISG Toxs:-Some time ago Mr. "One Eye," or General Speaker, in giv ing an account of "Picnic and Politics in Sandy Grove," says, giving vent to his feel. ings, he started for the picnic at Mr. J. J. MleFaddin's. After an acute observation he found that some of the "outs" were there. No doubt Mr. "One Eye" felt that he was out of his pew, for he was among men that knew him too well to see with both eyes, and fortunate for him he only had one eye, or he could have seen politics and picnics ina Idifferent light, but we excuse him as he only can see one side. Mr. "One Eye" saw somebody from neighboring county with the wisdom o: Solomon, but Clarendon ought to see her aspirant and "General Speaker" displaying his wisdom and compare him with the "long nose" man and you would conclude that greater than Solomon was there. Acute ob server has found the record of '62 and '63 o: the "long nose" man and says his nerve won't do now. WVell those who know hin best will admit that he must have "nerve' or he could never be farmer, mechanic, or ganizer, general speaker, '.11 with "one eye.' Now if you don't believe "One Eye" has nerve just let him entertain you one night at his home and see if he has not nervE enough for anything. IIf Mr. "One Eye" has not found the pres ident of Sandy Grove club, he can find hin by searching the records of the outs. We hpthtater the convention of the 29t1 inst. "One Eye" will be honored with permanent occupation in his native ele ment. L.. i'. Best Houses to Deal With.

They keep a fine stock, and anything in the furniture line can always be found ii their store. They also have a first clas cabinet maker employed, who does the besi of work at reasonable prices. Moses Levi is one of the largest merchant in the State, and is always ready, willing and prepared to meet any competition tha may present itself.

C., 1 Septemlber 114th, P111. ( At a regular meeting of Trinity .Sub-Alli ance, No. 901, held this day the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing term: John S. Cole, president; T. J. Cole, vice president; P. C. Cochran, secretary; J. H. Tindal, treasurer; A. J. Tindal, chaplain; S. H. Bradham, lecturer; J. B. and E. B. Tindal, door keepers; W. I. Hudnal, busi ness agent. After the election of officers and the train saction of other business the following res olutions were submitted and unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, we the Trinity Alliance believe that the recent sudden decline in the price of cotton is due not to an overstocked mar ket, but to the scheming of speculators to keep the price down until the poor farimers have been forced to sell their cotton crops at disastrous prices to them; therefore be it Resolved, That we the Trinity Alliance appeal to our managers in authority to de vise some plan by which the farmers can meet their obligations, upon deposit of their bale cotton, without being forced to sell at the present ruinous prices. Resolved, That we the Trinity Alliance ap peal to the members of our order through out the cotton States to hold their cotton crop as long as possible until the prices are remunerative to the farmers. Resolved, That the secretary send these resolutions to the (lton 1lant and county papers for publication. P. C. Coca.4x, Secretary. Republican County Convention. The Republicans of this county met in the court house last Saturday, and were called to order by their county chairman, Syfax Milton. He was also made perma nent president and Julius DuRant was made secretary. While the committee on credentials were at work examining the credentials of the delegates the chairman invited speeches from the delegates. Revs. McDutlie and Tor rence made speeches, and both were very conservative in tone and manner. The committee having finished their work reported a certain delegate to be strick en from the list of the Packsville delegation and in his stead the name of some one else to be placed, on the ground that this dele gate took part in the election of delegates at the Manning precinct election. The report was adopted. Chairman Milton then announced that an election was in order for a county chairman to serve for the next two years, and re(uest ed Gilbert Henry to take the chair, after which he retired from the hall. Rev. A. E. Torrence nominated Syfax Milton with a very sensible and complimentary speech, which was seconded by 1. A. Stewart. Lee David placed in nomination Gilbert Henry, but Henry asked David to withdraw the nomination, as he was not a candidate for the position. David declining to withdraw the name an election was entered into, re sulting almost unanimously in favor of Milton. The chair appointed a committee of two to wait upon the county chairman elect and notify him of his election. The newly made county chairman was escorted to the chair, and in accepting male a long speech, taking to task some of the members of the convention who were op posed to him on the ground that his skin was black, Edmund Deas, the chronic candidate for G. 0. P. congressional honors, was called upon for a speech, and in response to the invitation he arraigned both factions of the Democratic party. He did not favor putting a ticket in the held, but predicted that tLw time was not far off when they would be able to elect a ticket. He said that the nig ger had had his day, the aristocrat his, and now the poor buckra was going to have his, although Mr. Tillman, who was their leader, had sprung from the best stock of England, yet now claiming to be one of the common people. It was then announced that an election would take place for State and congression al delegates, wyhen one of the members de manded that the call from the State conven for this election be read. Chairman Milton stated that he was not in possession of the call and had never seen it, whereupon a charge was made accusing the postmaster at this place with intercepting the call. This brought about such confusion that the c'n vention was unable to proceed, and they took a recess until Monday amorninig. On Monday when the convention re-c-on vened R. A. Stewart the party charge-d with intercepting the letter containing the call from the State chairman obtained the floor on a question of privilege and in an emo tional theatrical manner proceeded to ex plain his connection with the call. He was frequently interrupted by delegates asking "de priviledge ob askin' de gemmen one queshun." The interrogations were very ludicrous and annoying, and at times pandemonium reigned, however Stewvart showed that thc charge against him was not only nntrue but that it emanated fronm jealous piolitical en emies. Delegates to the State and congressional conventions were then elected. T1he State delegates are Syfax Milton, Madison Cantey, and Gilbert Henry. The congressional del egates are Rev. W. W. McDuflie, Lee Davi, A. S. Boston, and William Dozier. After the election of delegates a resolution was of fered to endorse Webster for State chairman. This brought about a great many speeches, the principal orators being R. A. Stew-art, Rev. A. E. Torrence, and Julius Duliant. Stewart made an eloquent appeal to the convention against the e-ndorsement of Webster and advocated sentding the dele gates to the convention uninstructed. His speech had the desired effect and the con vention by a large vote refused to endorse anybody. A collection was then taken up to pay the delegates' expenses, and the convention ad journed. *No More Radicalism. Speaking of the changed political situa tion in South Carolina since the recent Demi ocratic convention, the 11I-rtford natd re marks, among other things, that, "The Charleston Netes rod Lbnrier eats its crow, as it promised to." Well, that is about what it amounts to, but our H .rtford contemporary should not blame us for doing the best we can under the circumstances. We have all had one taste of Republican buzzard in our State politics, and campared with that odor ous and odious fowl, almost any kind of Democratic bird "goes" like quail on toast or a thanksgiving turkey. -Seu-s totd (3nrie-r.

Suiter Has Some Hot Headed Leaders Who Apparently Would Rather Rule In Hfell Than Serve in Ifeavenl. SU-rTE, Sept. 12. -- (apt. P. P. Gaillard to-day rec(ivC the following comnica tion: 1lH iruo rensF'!. STrrr E Ex. Cou11r-m17 E, Cahuah1jiia. Sept. 11), PiW)o. I Capt. P'. P. Gaillard, Chairman County~ Ex-cuitivie Commlitte:e.Satr Dear Sir: ly diriction )f this coimittee I be' leave to inormiiir you o the folowing rtsoiution adopted by said coninittee: 1's 1cd. Thiat Capt. P. P. Gaillard be re quested and directed to call upon all the iifnimbers of thi executive contunittee exist ing prior to Sept. S, iS90, of tile Deiocratic elubs of Smiter couity to iet totether at Sutter C. 11. Sept. 19, at 12 o',ock, noon, forii tlie purpose of reorganizing thle Demo eratic party of Sumiter county, inl accordance with tire provisions of then Stat' constitution adopted by the September convention of iv order of Executive Committee. JonN L MI. Inny, Chmn. G. DUNN. r.iNGER, Sec. In answer to the question what ie would do in regard to it, lie said that he was no longer chairman of the county execntive committee; that Dr. John S. lughson had been elected to that position by the conven tion held here on Sept. 8, arid that he had no right whatever to usurp Dr. HugIhson's authority in calling together the committee. He will have nothing to do with it. In a conversation - with Col. Earle this morning lie gave the following to your cor respondent as his view of the action of the State conve.'ntion held in Columbia on the 10th inst. In his own la.nguage lie said: "I do not regard the State convention as legal because a majority of the nieubers excluded from the dieliberations of that body, for io just cause, the delegation from Sumter. It is miy opinion that the Democ racy of the State has no right to act so as to bind the body when they completely ignored the Democrats of a county. Such revolu tionary action in my jndgment releases any Democrat who did not take part in the pro ceedings from any obligation to support the ticket set up by them. While this is true, I will not favor any movement looking to the defeat of the ticket by the aid of the negro vote. White supremacy imust be sustained, even if we sufler wrong at the hands of a port'on of the Democracy." "In reference to county aftfLirs, the county has already been regularly organized, and if re-organization be attempted by Col. Irby, I it will probably result in the placing of two tickets in the field, and the Antis will not be responsible for it."-- Cialeston WOrld. SUMTER, Sept. 13. --The action of the State convention in refusing to seat the delegates from this county has been the cause of much comment and criticisn here. It looks like I the convention saw that it could not seat the t Tilhuan delegation and, therefore, would not seat the Straigltouts. Our county polities remain in statu quo. If the State executive committee shoutld re fuse to recognize the regular executive com- I nitttee of this county, of' winch Dr. John S. Ilugh-;on is chairman, there may be some trouble. It is hoped that the issue will not be forced. The people are beginning to I turn their attention to the primary which is to come off on the 25th inst. As yet candi dates are not very numerous. Messrs. Al tamont 'Moses and A. K. Sanders are candi dates for re-election to the Legislature, and Col. 11. E. L. Peebles, who was a member of the House 1882 3 is also a candidate. The Hon. Marion Moise is a candidate for-re election to the Senate, and is opposed by Col. W. D. Scarborough, who is a prominent planter. So far no Tillman candidates have been publicly announced, although the air is full of rumors concerning them. This matter will probably be decided by them when their convention reassembles on the 20th inst. Of course, it is not known yet wvheth er the Tillmanites will participate ill the primary that has been ordered or not, as they ignored the county convention last Mo0nday.--Nes .l i aw Sr'Mmn, Sep. 13. - Thet Tillmanite county executive commnittee met to-day to decide what action it wouldt take in regard to the prinry election ordered biy the Straightout executive comimittee for Sep.. 25. The de cision arrived at was that it would have nothing whatever to do with the primary, since according to its way of thinking, and according to the decision of the comnmittee on c'redlentials of' the State convention, both the conventions held in Sumter on Sep. b were illegal and unconstitutional, anid the action of the executive committee elected by either convention was not binding on the Democrats ot' the cofultv. 'The Tillinanites appointed on the hoards of matnagers for the several election precincts will not serve. Foi' the rest they will meet, as a caucus, on Saturday, Sep. 20, as agreed upon at their convention on tire 8th, and will then decide what future course to p~ursue. This will probably be as laid down ini the WlorbI to day, and in November there will be two tickets in the field.- C/Jl'eslon Worb'.. THlE LADIES DELIGHTED.
