No Charleston Mail Last Saturday.
The heavy rains of 1a4t TIhur.sday,
Friday and Saturday in the low coun

in-I railroads. Owing to washo.uts
below Columbia, on Friday, there
veire no trains to and from Charleston

harleston mail that day.
Eva.
Eva Brit:on is well-known in New
erry. She had eseatped our attention
for some time. She now turns up on
he stage as a singer in Cleveland,
hio, we learn from the Leader. That:
paper speaks of her beautiful black
yes and calls her a rather pretty
young girl, and says she handles her
part so well that shte generally secures
a recall. Eva is a "bird," a'jd don't
you cease to remember it--a "Ifurri
ane'' bird.
Dying Rapidly.
A paragraph in the Regi.ster yester
ay announced that Dr. D. S. Pope
ad gone to Pringle's phosphate
works to investigate the matter of sick
onviets. Since then we learn that
be sick list is very large and that the
onvicts are dying at a rapid rate, somne
imes two in a day. The causes of the
sickness or the large death rate have
not yet beena ascertained .-Register,

We learn that the information given
as as to the death rate of convicts at
te~pho.sphate works wvas somewhat of
n en.ggeration.-Register, 1 3th inst.

An Excursionl and Business Combina
tIon.
While many other of the great cities
of America are great as ports, or im
portnt as jumping off places 'whene
one may get into the sea, to Europe,
to Asia, to the Gulf. to the Lakes, or
into the forest ; Louisville, Kentucky,
is eminent in the fact that all roads
seem to lead there, and that from
there, the roads to every where go out.
If a p)ersoni desires to go to any place,
at home or abroad, in the year 1884i, he,
she or it can not do better than to
take a return excursion ticket, by way
of that cool and healthy city on the
Falls of the Ohio. Money will be
saved by it and the business there or
beyond ~will be done all the better, if
the~ Southern Exposition coupon, usu
ally attached, is made use of. It is the
best ride and the best show for the
money in the United States this year.

Babies.
The baby i- a very fa:umiliar s:tl j-et
to handle. S. metimles the suljet,
and the baby too, is handled rathei
roughly. The baby is well-known all
over the world iii general and at New
berry in particular. We put this town
agaiiist any place of its s'ze in the
known world for pretty and nim:eroua
baby. We all know who has the pret
tiest baby. The baby is a privileged
character; he. she or it rules the roost
from Babylon to Mollolo::. Web-tet
cuts baby short with a very sm:ill deti
nition, and the geography fails in its
boundary. hut the baby has a big
space in history. He is bounded i.n
the north by syrup of squ:lls, s;.iri s
of turpetiie ii su-Zar and Mr=. W' -
slow's -oathing syrup. on the -oluth
by ine 1,alnnels, frilled pillows anil
inextricably tangled clothes. o:i the
east by parerori:-, oils a.ed thinn--st
gruel, and on the west by tumbles,
jerks andi falls. Au essay could be
written about the baby, but we o:nly
wanted to speak a wool in their be
half. and can do no better than to
quote what Joe Howard says. .Joe
urites for the Piuila-lelphtia Press, as
follows : Did you ever think what a
baby has to put up with? The father
ronples its clothes and pitehes it imp
to the ceilin*e. The mother -imo:h rs
it, hugs it and squeezes it until its lit
tle face is as red as a berry, and the
iurse-vell, the nurse, espe-ialy if
she's fUand wheezy, sticks her fin
gers in its mouth, rans her thum
down its throat and 'tootsey-wootseys
in its face, till the poor child must
wish it was where it came from.
A PractIcal and Common-Sense View.
The Neu-s and Courier of the 11th
inst. contained the following which
will be interesting reading for our
subscribers :
Col. Thomas W. HIolloway, the sec
retary of the State Agricultural and
Mechanical Society, was in the city
yesterday on private and official b,usi
nezs. IIe thinks that the next State
fair already promises to b: a grand
success, and although lie is somewhat
depres,ed by the present prospect of
the cotton crop,in Newberry County,
he is conlident that there is a great
future for the farmers of South Caro
lina. Col. Holloway is greatly inte
rested in the success of the Mason Cot
ton Iarvester, and is convinced that if
it is such a success as it undoubtedly
promises to be, it will put an end to
cotton planting in this State on an ex
tenisive scale. iIe believes that then
cotton-picker wvill compel the farmers
to diver-ify their crops and to pr'o
du1ce their own food simplies at home.
his idea being thamt the bulk of tIhe
cotton crop will be growvn, afte r theL
cotton-picker is perfectedl, in Texas
andl the Mississippi Valley.
Col. Ilolloway mentioned, amnong
many other evidences of thme prosperity
of h's section of cou::try, that meat
Pomnazin. in Newberry County, thet
farmners were paying consider'able
attention to stock rnising, and that
there are at presenit at least one hun
dred mutle cults ini that neighborhood.
Hie believes that the farmers of South:
Carolina are able to raise their own
stock, that mule-raising could be mnade
a prolitable busines=, and that taking
all things together better mules can be
raised here than in Kentucky. Col.
Holloway is trying to arrange fora
grandt( panoramtie display of home.
grown mul s at the next State Fair.
Changes in Dancing.
Trzipping the Hight fantastic in the
merry mazes is a pleasant pastimne for
miany of our readers, and these devo'
tees at the Trerpsichorean shrine find
any allusion to the dance entertaining.
Soon the leaves will begini to fall and
the rumbling of carriage wvheels will
be heard on the freezing road in the
quiet hours of the night on the way to
the hall of the dance, whcee issue on
the breezes the strains of music and
perfume of extracts, fronm the brilliant
beauty within. It will therefore be of
interest to that class of readers men
tioned to know that a mild raequet is
to be revived and more life Pitt into
the German, and that roller skates
are to be used in some parts of the
German. In waltzing the fashionable
Newvport glide will be the favorite,
the racquet has been shorn of its kick,
the ripple will be. munch danced, and
the Saratoga and minuet lancers will
be poi,ular. The coquette and cauli'
flower ligures will be added to the
quadrilles, which will sometimes ter
inate with the New Year and Tent
pete figures. '[he Caledonian qutad'
rille will be a favorite dance thtis sea
son. La Varsoviana, with thte old
mazourka waltz step, is to be revived.
The schottische, with the addition o:
the glide waltz, will be danced, and
the polka galop will be among the fa
vorites.
Pleasant Recollections.
.A married lady living in the town
of -Newberry has every letter and
note written by her -husband, frotm
the beginning of their courtship, which
was at the -beginning of the late war
until it culminated in their ma.raiage,
soon after the w'ar ended. The
first illet-:doux was written at Camp
Ruffin, April 1861. From that time
until the close of the war, they cor
responded frequently antd regutlarly.
The letters are quite numerous, em
bracing a period of nearly five years.
T hey arc descriptive of many. great
bloody battles, (in which Kershaw's
Brigade was engaged), skirmishes,
snow-ball fights, incidents of camp
life, country, marches, winter quarters,
wounded, sick, dying aitd killed-but
invariably closing with a little "Iove
and sweet affection." Many of the en.
velops and note paper bear the im
press of the Confederate Elag. During
their entire "courtship" they nevel
had a "love quarrel." That devotet
love still runs smoothly and deeply
They live happily. Wouldn't the ro
mantic or even the realistic historiat
like to get possession of that packet o:
letters? Boys of our day-wouldn'
you like to glance over that packet:
Yes, we know you would-but yo:
can't. They are sacred.

F. L. Hicks chairtatl, and one on
rules and regulations. Jag. S. Daniel

committees were out we looked aroud
upon the bo-ly, and discovered that a
majority of the delegates were vung
nen. We observed several very i:
telligent faces, an:d that some of the
delegates were engaged in reading
newspapers. Conspicuous by their
absence were the notable features of
m:ny prominent old leaders, whose
places in the counsels of the party are
now occupied by the ri,ing generation
of Republicans. Capt. R. W. B>one

cinomittees, several of the delegates
were called oni f.'r speeches. A few
exen<~ed the mselves on accountt of feel

out of a miek bed. Capt. Boone was
among those called ont, but he was not
itt the rot.m aut the titme. The speeches
of thtose responding to the call were
well-delivered and well-received, onte
or twvo of the speakers showing consid
erable oratorical power and good comn
mnd of language. (All the dlelegates
showed "unatnimously" that .they had
not been remiss in the cultivation of
luntg powver). rThe speakers were outt
spoken in the inclinintion to make a
light for the re-establishiment of Re
publicantismn in Southt Carolinta. All
allusions to Blaitie andl Logan and de
'nunciations of the Democratic party
were luistily cheered. Our space p're
vents a full report of thte speeches.
We give a synop-is of the most inter
esting portions of the remarks.
C. W. WJHTIEE
was the first speaker." Said he, I am
prouid t.o call myself a Republican. I
mean to stand tip for the rights of my
r-ace. We tmutst make some kind of a
fight. The day that you vote for
Cleveland :.nd Hendricks you vote
downt your privileges. Ini the Repub
lican party is our only hope. There is
no salvation for our race in the Demo
cratic party. The domination of De
nmocracy would entail a deplorable
cotidition otn the colored race. ',Vhe
eight long years that the Democrats
have been In power ini this State have
served for the colored race. only dis
grace. We have been struggling and
striving to rise, but when a young col
ored man ties to rise in intelligence
andt eminence he is.pashed down. He
has no chance to rise to distinction
under Democratic rule. The reasser
tion and continuation of Republicanism
means promotion, advancement and
civilization for the colored race, with
the blessings of constitutional liberty
for all, regardless of race, color or pre
vious condition of servitude.
B. W. NANCE
was.-next called on. He did not como
to make a speech and therefore had
not prepared himself. He would say,
however, that he stuck. to the grand
principles of the Republican party,
and hoped the conventiotn would be
-conducted with fairness and that in
telligence would mark its actions.
The third speaker-was
1TENRY KENNEDY.
We have started out triumphantly ;
but we cannot succeed unless, we atre
tied together lIke leeches. We ought
to stick as close as leeches. So many
give our plans away. You cannot
succeed by giving away~ your plans
If all were true we coald suceed. But
there are sg many Brutuses in our
ranks. The white man is so cunning.
He pats you (in the shoulder anid you
give yourself away. We must wvake
[p and get intelligence if we espect
to make our race a credit to the couna
try. A white man buys an old horse
for $15 and sells it to you for $100.
You can't expect to rise while this
state of things exists. Save your mo
ney and buy land. Have your own
homes and cultivate your own farm.e,
and educate your children. Raise
your sons and daughters right. Edu
cation and property are what yon
want. Get edacation, and the proper
ty will follow. This Is a good enough
aannetrrina er.n. If thinge wet-e a
trol the country, and as long as the
eight box system remains in force and
the colored man be ignorant and un
educ:ated, so lon"g will he be kept
down. So I say the only salvation for
you under Denmocratic rule is e-lc.,
tion-and property. But as it now

SmAs DAWKINS
was the la!t speaker. Said lie thought
the eight box law an intelligeit law.
It only oppresses the ignorant an:l il
literate. Would not vote for an igno
rant and Illiterate man : would not
have snch to represent him. It con
sidered- that the colorel people hadt
done well in the twenty years that
they have been free. Edlua:ion is
what you want, and that will eitable
you to accunulate property. Now,
pick the best men to represent you in
y'mr ; onventions and show the intel
ligent people of the country that you
are rising n the scales of knowledge
and wisdom.
Some called for more speeches, when
one of the country delegates ato-e and
sai'l that he thought they had hail
enough speeches. "I tell you. Mr.
Chairman, the less speakhig we have.
the better will it be for the Republican

Silas Dawkins asi-tant secre tary.
The chairman thanked the convention
for the honor it had conferred upon
him and expressed the hope that it
would show toward him that courtesy
due his position. Ie s.ured the con
vention that he would rule with an
impartial hand anl to the best of his
ahili:y. The convention being perma
