Did We Prophecy I '
The Palmetto Yeoman, which it. ;
one of the liveliest papers in the State,
doubts our prophetic wisdom. We
recorded a prophetic deliverance of
astronomical science, and did not aim
/. to venture any personal conviction of
futnre events, but he holds us re
* ?sponsible for repeating. We suspect
* that our oldgrammar toaJcher penciled*
thd article which thus arraigns ns
^ somewhat after the style ho used in
" 1 former days when it was our duty to
submit without reply to his criticisms.
W o '-jickn owl edge our obligations.

ftrsfc magnitude among the literary
Constellations ..of America, and we

Open the Campaign- .
i* ' m *
It ifl of the utmosjt importance that
he Democratic party in South OaroinuTTiould
be united ltl the ppz
jroaehing campaign,,. /the Republicins
are determined to make a atfotig
ight tor the State and County offices,
ind to put forth all their energies to
jecuro the Presidency for the nominee
of their party. Where there is
:he least shadow of hope they will
iIbo run their candidates for Congress.
' And the fact should not be
ost sight of that they are not
livided auiong themselves. They
nay at* present differ as to the. best
node of proceedure and the most
ivailable. Candida tee to put forward i
>ut^wheji-tkey decide upon these
questions there will be no straggling
from their ranks. . They will vote
jolidly. It is part of their uniform
policy to conceal thei^ movements
until the time for action, and their
present apparant apathy cannot bo
safely trusted ft# am- index of their
purpose. .. .'
Where so much is at stake it behooves
every member of the Demo
era tic party to fall into line for the
promotion of good and honest - government.
In Horry county there is
a demand for greater unity than prey
vailed two years agor It will n6t,
perhaps, be easy to secure thisVdesideratum.
tt will be impossible
without striking at the root of the
matter. But what is that ? Is it a
slumbering element of disaffection to
tlie party ? Is it that personal pre
ferences have been allowed to override
the interests of the parity and
cause suqh to bolt as were displeases
with the nominees of the jCounty
Convention? Is it because Republicanism
is gaining a hold upon the.
- " *? Jo T.. ZL 1
[public mmci t is JU wc
action of the Convention was not in
harmony with the . principles of
Democracy f r
We wiN. not undertake to decide
upon the matter j ust now ; but that
the Democratic majority in Horry was j
less in 1868 than in 1866 has passod
to undeniable record. A variety of
opinion prevails upon the subject. |
Would it not be well bo consider^ tlte
propriety of adoptingN^he__primary ]
election system ? If the^men who
compose the Democratic parjy in t^ie
county are given the opportunity'of
nominating their candidates, wilptiiey
not voto with unanimity for those
whom the majority may prefer? \
It is not our. purpose to press this
nJhtter. Wo suggest it for considera-J
tion. What say " the Democrats of
Horry ? - The
negro tribes in the Livingstone
river, in Africa, pronounce the Soko,
a monkey and kill and eat him. Pro
feasor iHuxley affirms however, that
the Soko is the connecting link be j
tween min $nd the . monkey. The
Beaufort Crescent suggests that the
Fusionist party in South Carolina
nominate a Soko for Governor. In
his local column the same editor asks
" -1 -' - L-f-' mt.i :
Wliat-iaLj* i3UKO XJLltLb JIM piCH/J I
good. Sup pop? a fusion ticket is pominated,
we may well ask, " What is it?"
It is neither Democratic nor Republican?it
is not hsli nor llesh. What
is it ?

Miss Linklaw Marrieo.?-Our
0
readers doubtless remember that
Miss AmelinrLinklaw, of Lumberton,
N. C., some time last year killed her
seducer. She was subsequently tried
for murder and acquitted. During
her imprisonment many tokens of
sympathy were given her. A young
man by ihcnj'meof Little, of Cliarlesopened
a correspondence
Wthlier. On- the night her tftal was
expected tb close he came near being
drowned while attempting to cross
froi^ Mt.* Pleasant to_Charlefiton?tohear
the result. After that event
the correspondence was kept up,
photographs were exchanged, and
finally the parties met in Florence,
and were married. Mr. little? then
earned mother and child to his- own
home. And here for the. present,
says the Charlotte ObsdFvtr, the
romance of her life is ended.
