ELBERT HL. AI;LL, EDITOR. ELTBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, S NEWBERRY. S. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, ISSS. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. FOR PRF.IDENT: GROVER ('LEVELAN I, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: ALLEN G. THURMAN, OF OHIO. Col. P. H. Nelson has been unani mously renominated for Solicitor of the Fifth Circuit. He had no opposition. Editor Pope of the Register says: "A nice school marm, they tell us, can kiss as sweet as any other woman. Who P knows?" We take the following from an es teemed cotemporary whose editor seems to be an aspirant for political office. It is only abundant and further evidence that to edit and run a newspaper is about as much as one man can do, and where he undertakes to.be a candidate he has a little too much on his hands. Of course editors have a right to be candidates for office, and to hold polit ical office, and we do not propose to lecture our brother any further than he has lectured himself: AN APOLOGY. Owing to the editor's active partici tion in the county canvass for the past week or so he has been unable to give the that attention which it needs and deserves. He hopes, how ever, that its subscribers will excuse him under the circumstances. He L. promises to make the paper fairly "boom" with interesting news when the primary election is over. WE DO NOT SEE. If the vote at the first primary be 1800, it will require 1081 votes to nomi [ nate a candidate for the House. Every ticket mist have three names on it, which amounts to 5400 ballots. There are five men running, which makes an average of 1080 votes for each. Only three are to be nominated. See? Observer. We admit we do not see it that way. . We see where it is possible for five men to get 1080 votes, but we do not see where it is necessary. If there are 1800 ! votes cast and one should receive only 901 he will be nominated provided there are only two others who have received more than that number. According to the rules of the primary if all five re ceive more than a majority the three receiving the largest majority will be nominated. THE NEGRO QUEsTION. _We do not propose to enter the dis cusrion of this question now. We con ceive it to be one of the biggest ques tions the statesmanship of this country Swill have to deal with in the future, and it is a question that will demand attention at their hands in the near .future. The good, the happiness-J.nfl ounlilces. This result awakenedL p~~t racesmust be taken into consideration. We only -desire now to quote from an exchange an extract from the New York Age, a newspaper edited and published by a colored man. He urges his fellow men of the South not to depend on or ex pect- any aid from t\e Republican party or the Republican politicians, but tc go to work and work out their own sal* vation. By the assertion of their man hood in honest industrial pursuits, they *may become independent and happy As long as the colored man counts or sympathy and aid from Republical politicians this question wvill deman4 attention. The negro must work ou his own salvation. Here is the advic of the New York Age as given by 1 Thomas Fortune: "We must confess that we fail utterl to understand just what the republica *politicians expect to gain by the agiti -tion of the southern question becauw we. cannot see how if they were agax -dominant in congress and the executi branch of the government they coul prfect any "effective legislation" * eet the requirements of the cai which would stand the test of supren court interpretation. If the Chica convention had acknowledged this w 'the case, and that no "effective legisi tion" could be enacted under the co stitution as it now stands, and h: pposed*an~ amendmfenlt to meet t. cs,or signified their intention to su mnit to the people for ratificationl sue an amendment, then we .could und4 stand what they are driving at. Su an amendment to meet the ease wou have to make the federal. goverinme the arbiter of differenc~es arisItag betw~ citizens and citizens of a state as it now between ci mens of separate stat and such legislation would have 1 *effect of smashing the existing ordex state governnments and cemralizinlg i -entire authority in the federal gove m ient. It reqjuires 1no great (ea *discernment to perceive how misastro ly such an amendmenlt to the constl tion would operate, aind vet it is o by the adoption ot som1e such, amne ment that the "effe~ctive legislatia demanded by the Chicago platform *psibly be enacted. Ileave it to the candid opinlil thoughtful colored men, therefore, is not high time for them to look matter squarely in the face and( c to pia their faith to the shaping thing hoped for. It is childish to last degree to hug a delusion long a the imposture has been exposed-.' Commenting onl this the Ath *Constitution says "that if this advi followed, there will no longer be southern or negro question to discu: to solve. Like other races, the n must work out their own salvation, it is a work in wvhich the indivi counts for all and everything. TI has never yet been a day in the S when a sober, industrious, honest gro lacked for friends and chani among the whites." This is very but whether let alone or not let a this question is one of great import to both races. ACCIDFNTALLY pOISON ED. The Tragic Death of M ,'. J. WV.

FNews and Courier.] Tlie letter of Col. Ellison S. Keitt in your issue of the 17th brings out some iew views in reference to Clemson College. It e-pecially suggests injus tice in diverting the property from its natural chanlnei. and the State taking the property b,elonloing to another and applying it to her owil use without cop1el-ati I. Tills recalls to mind the case of the heirs of Mason IAe vs. the Executor of Mason Lee, so often cited by lawyers inl conteste'l will cases; 4 I1eCord, p. I";3. Mason Lee, of Malborough District, an unmarried man, having a stanre belief in witches, devils and evil spirits, and full of cranky notions, the least of which perhaps wvas the belief that all his relatives wished him dead to get his property, devised and bequeathed the whole of his estate, valued at $50,000, to the States of South Carolina and Tennessee, because he thought those states were strong enough to con test the claims of his relatives and sus tain his will. le provided liberal compensation for his executors, and the best lawyers in Charleston were to be employed to defend the will against the claims of his relatives. The will was sustained by the Courts, and after its validity was established the State of South Carolina at the next session of the Legislature, December, 182U, gave to the heirs at law of Mason Lee all her interest in said estate. She gave the property to the persons who above all others the testator desired should not have it. Stat. at Large, vol. 6, p. 389. Some of our earnest advocates of Clemson College have already dis counted the additional $15,000 which will be gained by Miss Lee contesting the will of Col. Clemson, but it is possible that the precedent of the Act of 1829 would allow her at least this much of her patrimony. Many of us dissent from some of the views of Col. Keitt, and are in favor of Clemson College. of a separate agricul tural college, believing that the present arrangement will be a cource of bitter contention and division among our people as long as it exists. The estab lishment of one, and its possib!e failure, might prove a leser evil than perpetual discord. B. Anderson, S. C., August 19, IS8. IS HE CHARLIE ROSS? Atlanta Finds the Long Lost Boy. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] ATLANTA, GA., August 20.-This morning a young man walked into Col. Ben Abbott's office and asked him if lie knew anything about the history of Charlie Ross. "Yes," replied the Colonel, "I know all about it. Are you Charlie Ross." "I do not know, sir," replied the stranger, "but people tell me that I [an." Thoroughly interested by this tile, Col. Abbott requested his visitor to take a chair, and in the course of half an hour, drew from him a detailed story of his life. In 154, when he was about four years old, the youngster was louiid wandering. about in Sout hi west G eorgia. He was picked tup and duly cared for, but when he was found he had under gone so many hardships that lie was unable to give his name or to tellI whence he canme.

Appeals were iatie to tihe sheriff, who at 'ee ordered out the Imiilitary Colt pany, sending the chief of police and others mounted in pursuit. It was learned that the gang had gone up the Statesville road. A special train was secured, which pulled out from the depot at 11.3.3 A. 1., having on board thirty-eight members of the Hornet's Nest Ritlemen. Sheriff Cooper and a reporter for t ie Southern News Bi' reau. The chief of police's mounted posse being overtaken, boarded the train, when again the throttle was thrown open. At Davidson College it was learned that the gang was only a few minutes ahead. Window-blinds were closed as the train moved on. Soonl the gang was seen, but the train went whizzing by. Stopping after passing the crowd, the military marched out. Some went into the woods, others ntarched for ward to meet the gang. When the sheriff hurried upon them and gave the signal calling for unconditional surren der, the military came from the woods, while all marched up showing the gang that they were surrounded by rifles. A vell of defiance was made by the gang, but they surrendered without further resistance. Twenty-four were taken, brought here and -placed in jail for a hearing on Mionday morning. The others went on. A Man who Went to see the Editor.
