August 14th, 1884. To the Democratic voters of Burnwcl County,! must say, I felt very uiuchcn- eonruged at tho feelings mauifested in uiy behalf at the different meetings we had during our cunpaign, commencing at Dnnburton July 17th and ending at Bluckville August 2nd, 1881. Hut io my utter surprise I find that feeling ex pressed is but a vain delusion which comes only from the lips. Now my rea son for writing y-u tl.is letter, fellow- citizens, is this : I have been asked were I not nominated Clerk of Court would 1 bolt, and 1 take this means of answering, which, I think, is due myself and the public. Being born of Democratic pa rents, schooled in a Democratic school, fighting four years to maintain Demo cratic principles and since tho late war using every available means to establish that party in power, whioh we consider the only honest party in our broad laud, yes a party of home rule, honest govern ment and white supremacy, which I have lived in the past, and expect to live in tho future, if yon cull that bolting then I am a bolter, a bolt only to cement the great Democratic party more lightly to gether, consulting with some of the lead t5<f men of the State, giving and receiv ing views, fon the campaign of ’70, which campaign redeemed our beloved Carolina, I consider the question absurd and prepostcrom, yet I take pleasure in answering it. To work as hard as wc have to gain an object, and us soou us the work is accomplished to endeavor to Undo what wo worked so hard for, to say the least of It, would be very bad judg ment. But what is the use for a poor matt and a cripple like myself to have any aspiration above that of a common laborer, and if unable as f ant to perform labor that of bciug a pauper. Merc I am, who served through the late war and though an invalid at the time, 1 also served tho Democratic party faithfully ■iocc in all of its trying ordeal or politi cal revelation, not from policy but from tions fkitofuUy and sat isfeetortly and the Proftnu JddgewiUbo ascttcieulin his principle, not that I claim a reward for tkirlmm u j:,.-T'. what I take to be a duty not only of my- cT' third •» in his preceding trrms.

Washington, August 1C.—Postmas ter Robinson, colored, of Bamberg, 8. C., has sent to ftie^postoffice department a statement, giving the reasons why he recently closed his office and left town. He soys on Sunday night, August 10, a body of teu or twelve armed men went to his home, about three and a half miles a frem Bamberg, and shot through hia doors and windows^ Robinson began actually glad of any txcuse to stop. They like to go to mill and they like to go to town, but they don’t like to woik. I know a farmer who is a good clever man and Behaves himself de cently, but he loves to talk so well he can’t work. He wilt talk about the weather for half an hour without stop ping. He came to my house the other day to borrow a spade and said be was in a powerful hurry to get back. With out thinking of the consequences I just asked him if the storm damaged hia corn any, and that started bun. lie told about stonns and hurricanes from away back to his buyhdodj and Low u man hung to a sapling and never got nary bruise, but thy wind blew his breath away aud didnt give hint time to draw another, and so he died, for want of breath, juat like a cow dies when she loses her cud.

It is the great business, of life and can’t be dodged, and it b&s its comforts and its rewards —rewards that are sweeter and purei and richer than any, for they come to a man when he is old and needs them Good children who honor aud love their parents are treasures that gold cannot buy, and they make sweet and pleasant the way that leads uk to the grpve.

Woman’s rights and man’a rights have nothing to do with such partners. In fact, all human laws are dead let ters to the good. They do not need them. Laws uro made for the bad, and the frail, and the envious, and the jealous. I whs thinking about this the other day in your town when I paid a friendly visit to a good man—a cour teous geuv.lemau—away dp in the third story where he kept his insurance of- llce, so us to have quiet and time for work. But he can't dodge the callers and importuners even there. I nev er visit him but what somebody comes and wants something, for they know that ho is generous and he is aiiid There was a strong minded woman tbeie who bad come ail the way from Chicago with a petition for woman’s rights.

August is tho boat mouth to cut tbe winter's wood. It will burn freer, aud even tho red oak, that sometimes burns black and goes out, will bum well if cut down in August and seasoned a while. I’ve got the boys cutting my winter’s wood now and will haul it up and stack it. Two of the fire places want wood two und a half foot long and tbe othets will only chamber two foot sticks. S3 I bftve TheXwood cut four feet and bve feet, aud then we not ti uf two aa we need Tt. Fifty cords will run us through a winter. Then there Is tbe stovo wood to get op, and that is a careful job for I nev er let my wife or tho girls have any cause of complaint about wooiLotJBtL ter in the kitchen. The wood must be dry and split up line and not too long. I saw up hickory; and ■ah with the crcaa cut and after splitting it up put it away under shelter, and I haul up the chips from the woods to sprinkle in. It is uot much trouble to prepare a frugal meal if everything is handy. The boys catch the chickens aud fix them ail ready. I won’t let my women folks do that. It is not a sightly job. and flobody ought to have it to do but niggers nohow, confound ’em. But I believe In independence. I like to see a family indepvutleut aud self-roliant.

Constitutional Amlndmknt.—The last Legislature, on the 24th of De cember, 1883, passed a j >iat resolu- tlou to amend Article IX of the Con stitution of South Carolina, relating to finances atid taxation, which reads as follows: That Article 9 of'the Oon- stitutiou be amended by adding there to the following tiectfon, to be knowu aa Section 17: ‘STectlon 17. Any bonded debt here after Incurred by any county, munici pal corporatlou or political division of this State shall never exceed eight per centum of the assessed value of all the taxable property therein.’ We have no doubt but this amend ment to our Constitution will receive the support of a large majority cf the qualified voters of this county. It is a protection to every tax-payer aud a wise limitation against the voting ma jorities of the counties of the State to Impose on them unlimited bouded debts. With such a constitution the bonds of any county, issued for a good fcurposo, will have a better market value, and property holdenc will feel more secure. Before tbe war, at the eetate sale of Samuel'Nugent of Laurens, a slave, (now named Richard Hunter, a thrifty colored man,) purchased hie freedom, agreeing to pay ^1,208, giving two white citizsiM aa elcurity.
