But for the faithful work of our firemen tbe office with our presses and other ma terial would have been entirely con sumed. W'e will not say, "Phonix-like, we have risen from the ashes," ftr thai sort of talk is threadbare, and then w( had nothing burned. We could more appropriately say, "Duck-like we have risen from th( water and we propose to keep abov( the waves," for surely the engine poured a deluge of water into our office and for this we are thankful, for th water was far preferable to the fire % Water was what we wanted and watej we got, thanks to the fire department and our office was saved. We hope to be on time and will b on time with live news of local an< general interest for our subscribers. The office was badly torn to pi 0 sy but by hard wor e have _ omew r order and will move forward. Our purpose is to publish a first class newspaper that can stand on its merits as such, and in this purpose we shall not falter one whit, let come what will. We desire to express our apprecia tion of the kindness of The Observer in offering us the use of its presses until we can get straightened out. The edi tor's office for the present is in the office of Moses & Garlington, diagonal 'y across the street from the printing ofiee. We will be pleased to see our frieuds there for the next few days un til we get fixed up in our own quar ters. THE THIRD DISTRICT PRIMARY. The result of the primary election, in -the Third Congressional District on last Friday pits the second race be tween Colonel George Johnstone, of Newberry, and Colonel D. K. Norris, of Pendleton. Mr. Norris is the candidate of the Alliance and the lnrg. vote he received is due to the fact that he was the alliance candidate more than to-anything else. We have .nothing to say against Mr. Norris, but it seems to us that the voter ought to consider the fitness of men for the positions they aspire to i' fill and select the best possible man. Tevery flattering vote received by M.Johnstone was by force of his abil tyand capacity. New berry did nicely by him last Friday, but on to-morrow she ought to do ev.en more. We should consider that he is our own home man, has had 4xyiencee Ygislatl~in,anid when a member of the State Legisla ture, was one of its most influential members, and one of whom all New berry could feel proud. His ability is. unquestioned. Even this hi.s personal and political eneinies admit, and if he should receive the nomination from this District for Congress would repre sent it with credit to himself and to his constituents. We have no hesitation in saying that -: the interests of the farmers would be as safe in the hands of Mr. Johnstone as any other man thst could be sent. Newberry County should give Mr. Johnstone practically a solid vote cn Friday. What reason or sense is there in run ning out of the County to vote for a stranger when we have one of our own county men, known to us all, that we can support. We do not advocate sticking to a -county man simply because he is a eb)unty man, but when we have one in the race who has the ability and fitness, we say stick to him. We should have that much county pride. The editor of this paper has not been a personal friend of Mr. Johnstone for some years, but we are willing to lay that aside, and would like to see him receive the nomination. We mention this fact simply to show that we are not advocating his election on personal grounds, but because he is a New berry man, and we recognize his ability. We believe in having some county pride, and then we want a man of abili ty in Congress as our representative. Mr. Norris may have the ability, but it has not been demonstrated, and he has no experience. If the South really needs men in the next Congress, as she certainly does, who have the ability to wvatch her in terests, and the brains to cope with Congressmen from other sections, the voters of the Third District should not hesitate to vote for Mr. Johnstone. Let Newberry at least do her part by her own fellow citizen. "A HUMOROUS CAMPAIGN." The Greenville News on Tuiesday had an editorial on the campaign of .the Third District, headed "The humors and the lessons of a peculiar result." Our contemporary says "it is humor of the incongruous and the un expected," and that the campaign con veys the idea that several thousand farmers had combined to perpetrate on a certain day a huge practical joke on everybody, and then speaks of the several candidates in the race for Con gress from this District. Murray, Benet and Bowen, our comemporary says, had done work and had records behind them, and some right to ex pect something. So had Johnstone, but the News continues: "Mr. Johnstone has not so much right to complain, lHe alone received a majority of all the votes cast in his own county and he is given the opportunity for a second race with good prospects of success. The fact that adds to the humor of the case on one side and to its bitter ness on the other is that the man who beat everybody, who carried counties against residents of them who should be strong. in ordinary conditions is a new man with nothing belfind him but the Alliance endorsement and the sub-treasury bill which-if the opinions ofhJe fi.iancie4s, ststesmen, politicians ndarax.icea busniness men of all tion. on Colonel Norris. He may be man of great ability and be may be will ing and able to do much good services He has not, however,had the oppor tunity to prove his abilities or his pur pose, and, so-far as our informatioi goes, he has not during this campaigt or at any time before it, given any evi dence of remarkable talent or knowl edge or independence of thought. 11 is contrary to all precedent- among ou: people to entrust important duties likq those of representative in Congress t men without experience or record an( with no special claims to consideratioi beyond endorsement of one or two pro posed measures of legislation, th< swallowing whole of a platform pre pared by strangers in St. Louis and promise to ignore his party caucus." Another amusing feature that strike our cotemporary is the relation of thi Alliance voter, who does the bidding c a few, to caucuses. It is really a mys tery what the relation of certain voter is to caucuses and how they look a them and what they think of them The News says: "More than 4,000 sturdy Democrat most of whom would resent with i blow the accusation of being a bolte voted against all others for a man wh4 declares in advance that his conviction of his duty will lead him to bolt hi party caucus if it does not go his wal on certain questions. The humor c the situation is further heightened b, the evident fact that a large number c those votes were cast in obedience t the demand or suggestion of an All ances caucus. Men who are themselve bound by a part primary vote against their naturaY .rsonal and pc li f&J I Ucu litia,1g gge -ence w - uirements for a man pledged not to be bound by caucus. The series of in ons;stencies involved in this act is too complicated for easy analysis, but it is very funny. It is an entanglement a good deal like some of the situations in comic opera and the Alliance voter in the Third may easily bring on head ache by trying to puzzle out whether he is more of an Alliance man or a Democrat an to determine his relations to caucus-whether he is its slave or a rebel against it and where he would be should the claim of two of the three caucuses in which he is involved conflict." The way out of this tangle is for every voter to go the poles to-morrow and vote as he pleases. To exercise his right as a free white man in a free country. That is the object of our Democratic primaries. To rid the peo ple from domination by any man or set of men. The Manufacturer's Record says that within the next six months $60,000,000 of English capital will be invested in Southern enterprises. John Bull is pursuing a different policy than he did a hundred years ago. The Roanoke Southern Railroad is looking for a route through South Carolina. The road is being built from the magic city of Roanoke, Va., south ward through North Carolina, and has splendid Northern connections. New berry is destined to be a railroad centre. The Roanoke Southern can' find no better route to the sea thafi through Newberry. THE "STRAIGHTOUT" CONTENCE. The Straightout Conference met in olumbiaSon Tuesday night to consider what action they should adlopt and what course they would pursue. It is said that there were about four hun dred present, all the counties in the State except two or three being repre sented. Newberry had no representa tives. A part of the conference was held with closed doors. A long preamble and two short reso lutions were adopted.,- The preamble sets out the necessity of the white peo ple controlling the government, and that in the judgment of the conference the new State constitution adopted at the August Convention is illegal, null and void, and condemns the leaders of the majority in the August Convention, and concludes with the following reso lutions: Resolved, I. T hat this conference of Democrats hereby puts on. record its solemn and emphatic protest against the illegal and usurpatory action of the majority of said Convention as insti gated by its leaders, and condemns as unp..:triotic the intemperate and violent methods of said les'de-s. 2, That the course of the minority of delegates who withdrew from said con vention in refusing to concur in or sub mit to its illegal proceedings is hereby approved. The conference then adjourned. It was thought that it would suggest a ticket to be put before the Septenmber Convention. It is best as it is. The conference did nothing so far as is given to the public, and no harm can come of it. No ticket is suggested, and nothing but the resolutions referred tc adopted. WILL THE L. & N. BUY? Rumor.' that it Will Bid for the South Caro lina Railway. (Special to Augusta Chronicle.] CIJARLESTON, August 26.-Informla tion of a. rather reliable charactel reached here to-day, which, if true, confirms the reports which have beet in circulation here for several days, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad becoming the purchasers of the South Carolina railroad. It was stated that a director in the Louisville and Nashville is authority for the statement that when the Souti Carolina railroad is put up for sale, the Louisville and Nashville will have bidder there.

The committee is threatened with a lawsuit as to the legality of such a move under the rules of the primary, and the committee has been called to gether to consider the matter. -THE THREE C's GETS THERE. A Prize of 650,000 Won Without an Hcur to Spare--Desperate Opposition by Roughs. [Knoxville Sentinel.] JOHNSON CITY, Aug. 20.--At ten o'clock this morning the Three C's reached the North Carolina line and earned $50,000 worth of bends voted by Unicoi County, to be paid provided they reache'd the Northi Carolina line by the 20th of this month. In a few days a regular schedule will be inaugurated bet ween the State line and Johnson City, and this place will begin to feel in a small measure the benefits of this new railfoad. The work through Unicoi, especially the latter part of it, was attended with great difficulties. Evil disposed persons threw obstacles in the way, even at tempting to wreck the construction train, and succeeded in ditching several car loads of steel rails. But with charateristic energy Mr. William Kenefick swore by the eternal that the road should be put through on time, and by putting on an army of hands and working night and day he kept his word. Yesterday as the road neared the State line the desperation of the people who were trying to keep the road from fulfilling the contract became more marked and last night another despe rate attempt was made to wreck the road. Through vigilance it was frus trated, however, and the final work was finished to-day guaranteed by shot guns in the hands of determined men. To do the p)eople of Unicoi justice the majority of the citizens are heartily in favor of the road, and it is only a gang of lawless men, such as may alwvays be found about the State line that has caused the trouble. SOON nIE OUT OF TROUBLhE. [Charleston World.1 It is rumored that the "Three C's" railroad people have about arranged their financial troubles, and that the employees will be paid the full amount of wages due them.

SITUATIo% I' Til. : STATE. Senator Butler Sayi the Minority SkozU Acquiesce in the Will of the Majority.

Butler given to tht World representative to-day. In a fem clear cut sentent-es, which the reportei made no attempt to "string out" 01 elaborate, he "speaks forth the word: of truth anl soberness." Senator Butler arrived in the cit3 this morning. He had heard that tht two executive committees would meei here to-day, and he came to assist in o settlement. The World man fount Senator Butler preparing to enjoy at after dinner siesta in his room at tht Jerome. When told that the Worlk desired his opinion on the politica complications that n1ow vex the State the Adonis of the Senate readily com plied. He spoke freely and withou reservation. His very first words giving the gist of his opinion, were em phatic and of no uncertain tone. Sai( he: "If the Farmer's movement mei have a majority in the September con ventio), the minority should acquiese in the result." "It is rumored, General," said the re porter, "that under certain circurn stances, the non-seating of some Anti Tillman delega1tions, for instance, ther will appear to be justification for no recognizing the action of the Septem her convenition." "It is not prudent or wise or proper, replied he, "to have a split or a boll whether the action of tile conventio! nia r. "There is . ing to do but to acquie:ce-. -t is either that or Republicanism." "Is much interest taken in the politi cal situation here by Democrats in Washington?" "There is, decidedly." "What do our ropresentatives in con gress have to say about it?" ' -Every Democratic senator," said the General, 'with whom I have conversed, concurs with me in the views I have expressed to you.. . I have talked with all of them. There is no difference of opinion anong them. They believe that.a bolt or a split would be fatal and ough.t not to be thought of." Senator Butler said that he had been asked for his views by the Anti-Tilhnan advisory committee, and that he had iven it as his opinion that the ticket nomination by the September conven tion should be supported by the entire Democratic party of the state. He further stated that he had con versed with Gen. Johnson Hagood of Barnwell and had found him of the same opinion. The Feneral expressed the earnest wish that conservative views would be adopted by the conference and the peo ple generally. It was his impression that conservatism would prevail. Senator Butler lelt the city on the evening train to spend a week on his farm at Edgefield. POLITICAL GOSSIP. W. W. Russell Thinks that, Owning to Democratic Division, he will Go to Congress. [Special News and Courier.] GAFFNEY CITY, August19.-W- -. Russell, the famous Greenback leader and the present postmaster at Ander sod, passed here this afterndon on his way to Washington. He ,seemed in a happy frame of mind but rather uncommunicative on the subject of his visit to the Capital. He said, however, that it was of conside rabl'e importance to the peopl&of Sonth Carolina. "You may say ,this," he added, "that I will be the next Con. gressnman from the 3d district. I am just as sure to succeed Judge Cothran as the sun shin-es; and there is no pote that can prevent it save from Heaven. The race among the Democrats in my district is very badly mixed and I am thoroughly confident that I will be elected in the 'ides of November.'' This .was all Mr. Russell would say, preferring, he stated, to keep out of the public prints. THE FOI7RTII DIsTRICT. G REENVILLE, S. C., Aug. 20.--Your corresponent was to-day informed that J.

Colonel Bowen Wants Them Upon the Re cord of the Race in the Third. 'o the Voters of the Third Congression al District: I desire to express my thanks to the oters who had the manliness to vote for ne against the combined influenee of ertain men of the District Alliance vho assumed to represent the whole istrict. In their address they were so eager to nake it strong they deviated slightly rom the facts. They said the sub-treas iry plan had been universally endorsed )y the county and sub-Alliances of the vhole country, when the facts are that nany sub-Alliances, to my knowledge ts an Alliance man, had not endorsed Ihe plan. They say that before endorsing Mr. Norris the District Alliance considered ;e position taken by each of the candi lates. Serious objection is made in their lailure to pledge themselves to support kIliance demands, uninfluenced by >arty caucus. They say Mr. Norris is he only candidate who has complied vith the request and pledged himself ,o support the demands; and the Dis ,rict Alliance has unanimously en lorsed him as their candidate for Con Yress and every true Alliance man is arged to give him his hearty support. [t is known that the County Alliance >f Abbeville positively refused to en Jorse Mr. Norris. Another slight mis take. From my standpoint I don't think any honest Democrat could pledge himself to support any measure unin fluenced by party caucus. The more the sub-treasury plan is discussed the objectionable features are so apparent that almost every man is fast becoming unqualifiedly opposed o it. I did not care to have any newspaper ontroversy during the camlpaign, but think it well to have the facts made part of the record. I will be obliged if the newspap)ers of the district will print this so that it ay be seen by all my friends. Respectfully,. R. E. Bowi-;N.. THE SECOND RACE. Colonel Johnstone WVili Make a close Rtace for Mr. Norris in Anderson. [From the Greenville News ] ANDERsoN, S. C., Aug.:2.-Interest now centres in the coming contest for Congress between Col. K. D. Norris and Col. Geo. Johnstone. The latter gentleman was here last Sunday and Sonday. He will probably poll a heavy vote in this county next Friday as it is thought that Colonel Norris polled his full strength on the first elec tion and Colonel Johnstone will get the bulk of Maj. Murray's votes. Tihe con test will be very close, but the frienas of Colonel Johnstone think he will get there. ABBEVILLE FOR JoHINsTONE. GREENWOOD, S. C., August 2~>.-The much talked of primary for the ThirdI Congressional District has come and gone, and the result was nothing more than expected, a victory for the Farm ers' Alliance and sub treasury fraud. The vote which Abbeville County gave Colonel Norris is proof that she is less in favor with the suu treasury bill than any county in the district. The latest report hereabouts is that the second race will be run by Colonel Johnstone and Colonel Norris. The entire vote cast against Colonel Norris in the first primary in this county will go against him in the second. Abbe vlle voters will be glad to support Col. George Johns tone. His handsome run in the first race and his close second of Mr. Benet are ample proof of his popu larity in the county. The second primary will come off 0on August 28th. The Work of Evangelist Lcitch. [Special to News and Courier.i PIEDMONT, August 1.-The revival at this place came to a close last ntight, and the evangelist, Thos. H. Leitch, with F. A. Marsball, left this morning for Woodruff. Great success attended their labors b.ere and hundreds wiill and thank God for sending these labc. rers to this community. Figures cannot tell the good accomplished. There were about seven hundred who professed a new life and seventy-five uuited with the church. Condition of the State Farms~ [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, August 20.-Fr-om a gentleman who is familiar with the Exdition of the crops oni the va rious farms operated by the Peni tentiary with convict labor the Bureau ascertains that is very flue. Here is a very conservative estimate of the prob able production on each, freshets and other accidents barred. Wheat-bush els: Big Lake, 800; Green Hill, 600: ttoal, 1,400 bushels. Oat.e-bushels: i Lake, 7,000 ; Green Hill, 3,000 ; Aughtry's 800 ; Spigener's' 500~, 1gex ig, 300 ;total, 11,000 bushels. Corn bushels : Big Lake, 3,.->0; Green H ill, ,000 ; Aughtry's, 2,000 ; Spigener's, 3,000 ; Sims's, 1,80(1; Lexington, 400:; total, 17,200 bushels. Cotton-bales: Lake, 300 ; Green Hill, :100 : Aughtry', 200; Spigener's, 100 ; Sinms's 225; Lex ington, 30 ; total, 1,155 bales. Of these products the Penitentiary will get b.alf as the share of the State, except on the Lexington farm, which is operated solely for the benefit -of the prison and which is really more of a convalescent camp than a farm. The fodder hay, peavines, potatoes, which will be miade and are sure to be of considerable value are taken account of in this estimnate. A Fish story.
