SCHUMPERT AHEAD. We rublish elsewhere the vote ior Solicitor by counties in the primary election held on Tuesday, Sept. 11. It is gratifying to us and the people of Newberry to note the handsome vote given our candidate in this race. Col. Ok L-Schumpert leads all the others in this race by nearly 1,000 votes. Con sidering that there were four candi dates in the field, and all strong men, this is a very handsome vote. The second election will be held next Tues day, Sept. 2.5, between Col. 0. L. Schumpert and Mr. Stanyarne Wilson. The handsome vote of Schumpert should not make us indifferent, but should encourage us to turn out en mase and swell the majority of our county man more next Tuesday. It is a duty we owe to ourselves to come out and vote for Schumpert. Just look at the figures and see what Laurens, Spartanburg and Union did for Schumpert in the late election, and you will be convinced that it is the duty of every voter to turn out. When these counties show a desire to elect our county man, we can see no reason for Newberry to be lukewarm in the mat ter, especially when her candidete has all of the qualifications and ability to fill the office with credit and honor to himself and his county. We hope our people will look at this matter in its proper light and go to the polls next Tuesday. We have nothing to say against Mr. Wilson, but we de sire to see 0. L. Schumpert elected. The members of the executive comn mittee this week make reply to the last letter of Mr. Sligh, or rather that por tion of it which had reference to them. It is mild in tone and spirit, -~and we sincerely hope it will be an end of all this agitation. We cant see no good to result to the Democratic party from too much agitation, and it is pos sible for great harm to come out of it. We need to be united and to work har moniously together. We all desire harmony within the ranks. The public mind needs rest from politics and the excitement grow ing out of it. Continued agitation and discussion will not accomplish this. Agitation and discussion of public questions is an educator and will do good. Agitation of matters too per sonal and full of bitterness we fear can do no good. Don't forget the primary elec.tio~n next Tuesday for Solicitor. We knlow a great maiy of our people are tired of elections,but we are into the thing now and we should stick it out, and then if we get enough, change the plan after this. THE FREsHETS. The freshets for the past two weeks have been the largest and most destruc tive in years. The damage to bottom lands and railroads has been inmmense. The Saluda river has been higher than ever known. The track on the Colum bia & Greenville road bet ween here and Ninety-Six sustained great damage. It will be some days yet before trains will pass through. The trains come through from Columbia to-day. We have been as it were cut off' fronm the outside world. No daily trains and mails to one who is accustomed to these things makes us feel as if we were in an isola ted place. The damage to the crops in the State hasL' been great. The corn on the rivers and creeks has all been lost and the cot ton is greatly damaged. That now being brought to market is of a very inferior quality and commands but a very small price. But we trust that with sunshine and fair weather now, our people will find the damage not as great as they at first thought. The floods in Augusta have done ple have gone to work with stout hearts to repair the loss, and will be ready for the opening of the great Exposition the first of next month. We hope the peo ple from the surrounding country will take in this show and thus encourage this flood-stricken city to build up. The sunshine will drive away the gloomy feeling and w. an all go to work with renewed energy and vigor. Newberry turned out right well at the last primary on September 11. The executive committee met on Tuesday of this week and declared the result. It could not be done earlier, as full re turns could not be obtained. The total vote is given elsewhere. The same managers are appointed to hold the election next Tuesday for Solicitor, and we hope to see a fuj1 vote again. A Card from the Democratic Executive Committee. To the Democrats of Newberry Couty:-In the County papers of the 13th inst., there appeared a card from the Rev. J. A. Slgh, in which he claims to state his reasons for not con testing the recent primary election in Newberry County before the Executive Committee. As is generally known, the Demo eratic Executive Committee is com posed of eleven members, one from each townsbip. The present committee was elected by the County Convention held on the 12th day of May last, before the open ing of the campaign, in the usual man ner, viz: the delegates from each town ihip nominating the member from their respective townships. In Mr. Sligh's card he says: "The first: prompting that I had was to hallenge the fairness, validity and legality of the election before that tribunal (alluding to the Executive Committee), but upon canvassing the political: affiliations of the members of the Executive Committee, I found that a large'majority of the committee were composed of persons who were political partisan friends of my opponent, and I would thus be a party to a contest in which my opponent held the majority against me, and be it ever so good a case, I would be ingloriously defeated in the.contest." When Mr. Sligh asserts that he would have suffered "inglorious defeat in the eontest" at the hands of the Executive Committee, however strong his case, he makes a statement which is incapable of proof, unless his case had been sub rnitted to the Executive Committee for their action. Mr. Sligh's position is moreover a re flection upon the integrity of his own friends, for the only reasonable inference from what he says, is that if a majority of the committee had been his "partisan friends" he would have gone before that tribunal, knowing that he would be successful, "be it ever so bad a case." Without giving the committee the opportunity of hearing his case, he charges them with unfairness and partisanship, and- imputes motives which, if true, would reflect upon the haracter of the members of the com mittee. When the Executive Committee finished tabulating the returns on the the day appointed for that purpose, the riends of Mr. Sligh and Mr. Pope were otified, and the committee remained in session, as required by the rules, for two hours thereafter, but no notice of ontest or protest was served upon the ommittee. Now that Mr. Sligh has deliberately letermined not to contest the election n the manner prescribed by the rules yf the party and before the only con stituted board for that purpose, he should accept the result as binding, and ake his place along with all true Demt >crats and help to elect the Democratic icket in November next. The Executive Committee, in the absence of protest, declared the election, md as far as they know, the late rimary election was as fair as any rimary ever held in this county. Each of the candidates for the Senate as allowed to suggest the name of one ianager at each box. The committee ippointed the persons suggested, to ether with a manager selected by the ~ommittee. There has never been a etter set of managers appointed hroughout the county-men of char iter and reputation. Mr. Sligh has received every consid ~ration at the hands of the Executive Jommittee, and he has no grounds for harging them with unfairness. (Signed) W. H. HUNT, JR., - Chairman. A. J. Ginsox. L. P.

A The Disease Breaks out in Hendersonville. m CHARLESTON, S. C., Sept. 14.-The mayor received a dispatch from Dr. Allard Memmiuger, a Hednersonville, N. C., to-night saying that yellow fever V had broken out among the Jacksonville Z refugees in that place. Strict quaran- n tine will be established here against Hendersonville. EIHT CASES OF FEVER AT IIENiER- s SONVILLE. C CHARL)TTEI, Sept. 16.-The Chro- e nicle says: Dr. George W. Graham, who has been spending a few days at the Hot Springs of this State, arrived home yesterday. He cane through Hender sonville, where yellow fever refugees b are quartered and though lie did not : interview any of them, he picked up a j few points from the local passengers. v They state the arrival of the refugees at 1. Hendersonville,four cases of yellow fever have developed, which with the s four cases on the train, make eight cases t altogether in Hendersonville. The peo ple of that place feel safe in the convic- 0 tion that the fever cannot "spread" in their atmosphere, and no alarm at all is manifested by the citizens, the refugees themselves being the only ones who feel c uneasy. All the refugees, before leaving Jack- ( sonville, signed a written agreement a that they would not leave the town of t Hendersonville, under any circum- t stances, until after the expiration of the I usual ten days, but it is said that some f of them are violating their contract and C scattering out in different directions. Ii It is claimed that a party of them made u their way to Saluda, and there register- es ed as coming from Columbia and other C places. An experienced physician is attend- a ing the refugees in hendersonville. and t the sick are receiving better treatment and are in better circumstances than if I they were in Jacksonville. They are as comfortably housed as possible, under C the circumstances. As many of them I have doubtless carried the germs of the disease in their system, it is expected b that new cases among the Henderson- v ville refugees will continue to be report- I ed for some days. The refugees are isolated as comp ly as possible from the citizens, anTihe patients are being cared for in a house c that is isolated both from the citizens n and refugees. Although the people of d Hendersonville profess to be perfectly e at ease, it is evident that they are some- t what nervous. There are nearly 500 t refugees in the party, and when the I train that brought them pulled into a Hendersonville the large crowd that a had assembled at the depot fled like a j pack of frightened sheep. The refugees s at any rate are now enjoying the hospi- D talities of the town and they feel that d they are welcome, since Hendersonville t was the first town in the State that v issued an invitation to them. THE PLAGU$ AT HENDERSONVILLE. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 18.-News from the yellow fever refugees at Hen- a dersonville is to the effect that thirteen cases are now being treated there. The b fever is confined entirely to the refugees. Four of the thirteen patients are repre- v sented to be dangerously sick. It is said n that the refugees are still scattering over the country. A sharp lookout is 0 being kept in Charlotte for refugees, and the first one that shows his face l here will be made to march in double h quick order.. - YELLOW JACK IN FLORIDA. I surgeon General Hamilton Reports the Plague Spreading. WASHINGTON, September 18.-The . Secretary of the Treasury has received C the following telegram from Surgeon ~ General Hamilton, dated at Camp ' Perry, September 17: "Dr. Posey has yellow fever, contracted at McClenny. Three cases are reported at Gainesville, and there are rumors of cases at Well borne and Fernandina. Have sentWise A' to investigate. Dr. Guiteras returned Saturday night. The refugees had great hard ships on the special train, and the whole seaboard is alarmed on account of these refugees breaking their parole i at Henmdersonville. I do not think it advisable to send any more special trains. The camp is in excellent condi tion, but needs enlargement. This is being done as rapidly as possible. Those here are comfortable and reasonably ~ happy." For the twenty-four hours ending Monday at 6 P. M., fifty-two new cases and seven deaths were reported att Jacksonville.r REFUGEES IN ATLANTA. ATLANTA, Sept. 18.-A train load of I Florida refugees reached this. city to- g day. They were all from Gainesville, s Fla., and all had health certificates. f Nine remained in Atlanta and others a went on North. A fe (lays ago James d Lengle jumped from the refugee train a from Jacksonville, intending to stay t here. He wvas in the city three days be- 3 fore he was discovered, and to-day was 0 sent forward to Hendersonville, N. C. ji APH YSICIAN'S NOBL E SELF-SACRIFICE.t a BALTIMORE, Sept. 18.-In response to a call for volunteers of the order of a the Red Cross, Dr. William Rickert ofs Baltimore left this city Sunday for Jacksonville, Fla., where he will give ~ his services for the relief of the suffe- a rers from yellowv fever. He leaves a wife a and family in this city and abandons a c remunerative practice. TH E PANIC STRICKEN PEOPLE. c N EW OR LEANS, Sept. 14.-A dispatch t from Colonel Southmayd, of the Red a Cross Society, who went to Florida says ii he left ten nurses at McClenny yester- i: day. There have been about'sixty cases 1i of fever in the past fe w weeks and nine b deaths. At present there are twenty o sick, four seriously. People along the a railroad are in a panic and travel and r business are almost entirely suspend- a ed.o MEMPHIIS SAFE SC FAR. Many telegrams have been received here from Eastern and Western cities0 asking if it is true that yellow fever had developed in Memphis. To all such inquiries the replies have been empha tically "No," Neither is there any grave apprehensions of a visitation of the r dreaded scourage. Memphis has':suffer ed too much in the past to cause her to lessen the vigilance necessary to keep ~ the disease from entering her limits. The city council yesterday afternoon at a general meeting adopted and put in force the most stringent q1uarantine regulations. Everythinig is being done to protect the lives of the people, .not only of this city but of the Mississippi Valley to the South who look to Mem phis ~for protection. If a ease should develop here the fact would be p)romiptly reported through the associated press and until such publicatIon is made the outsidle world shouldl respect the asser tion that Memphis wais never healthier than at present.

In Memoriam. MABIE WITHEBSPOON MOOBMAN. Died 2d August, 188, Aged 40 Years. Mrs. Moorman was prostrated in Feb zary last by a fatal malady. Yet hope as strong and every effort made by skill i1 physicians and loving nurses to save a fe so valued. But it was not so to be, for ie word had been spoken that was to call or hence. After months of suffering, atiently and bravely borne, the summons ame; and laying aside the garments of arth for the white robe of the redeemed, ae entered upon that fadeless inheritance repared for the children of God. Mrs. Moorman was the beloved wife of Ir. T. S. Moorman, of our town, and the Idest daughter of the late Dr. J. J. Vardlaw, of Abbeville. At the time of er death she was resident in Columbia rhere also by her request she was laid t< est. She was a lady of culture and refine ient and of sincere piety; broad and beral in her views, respecting the opin yns of others while firmly believing in hei wn ancestral faith-2that of the Presby erian Church. She loved to talk of holy Lings and was never happier than whet ntertaining the servants of God in hei ospitable home. In social matters too was she always armly interest6d-entering into any lan for the enjoyment of the young wit) itch genuine pleasure as to win for her elf their sincere affection. An admirable rait in her character was that of courtesy -the courtesy of a heart at one with its laker. "The large compassion to hei .ature given" caused her ever to listei 7ith deepest sympathy to the story of uffering or distress, and none ever founc er unwilling to aid. Although to the weary sufferer deatl ame as a welcome release, it was hard or her to leave so many dear ones. Life as so full of love for her, how could she eave it all ? Her children, over whon he yearned to watch-loving, tendei auther! But she still said "God knowi est," and gave up all into His keeping. Strength was given her at the partinj tour "to hold sweet converse" with the vatchers at her bedside; bidding eacl ood-bye, assuring them of her perfec rust and peace, and requesting them t< ing for her that hymn, so often the solacc > the dying, "Jesus, lover of my soul, nd in which she endeavored to join. Ix ter own words she was "entering the val y," but she "feared no evil," for the haviour was with her. The waters wer olling nearer-they had no power to dis nay, for the storm of life was almoss verpast and she would soon reael lome! Sad and desolate is the home she haj aft-dark the hearthstone once so brighi rith the illumination of her love. But hei aemory will yet remain, an influence foi rood as she herself in life. Farewell, dear friend! For us no longei vill the music of your voice be heard-n< nger the light of your smile brighter ,ur pathway. But we will not murmui ince for you there is rest-rest from al be toil and pain, from all the sorrows o: his mortal life. "Hereafter called to d< Iis high behest, you shall work out Hit lorious will." "And so thy task is ended! ly patient friend, thy gentlenessand truth he large compassion to thy nature given, nd the deep yearning for the Master's prize Vbich Fai th illumined to thy longing eyes lath won for thine unspotted soul a place In heaven!" ONE WHo LOvED HER. Cankers humors of every description Ihether in the mouth, throat, or sto. 1ch, are expelled from the system by ie use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
