The constitution says; Article VI. For the purpose of nomi nating candidates for governor, lieu tenant governor and all other State of fleors, including solicitors in the respee tive circuits, and congressmen in their respective districts and United States senators and all county officers, except magistrates and masters and supervi sors of registration, a direct primary election shall be held on the last Tues day In August of each election year, and a second and third primary each two weeks successively thereafter if necessary.

Each club shal! have a separate polling place for primary elections. The club rolhs of the party shall con stitute the registry list and shall be 3pen to inspection by any member of the party, and the election under this -latise shall be held and regulated un ler the act of the general assembly of this State, approved Dec. 22, 1888, and Yny subsequent acts of the legislature :f this State.

The rules say: Rule I. The qualification for mem bership in any subordinate club of the Democratic party in this State, or for voting at a Democratic primary shall be as follows, viz.: The applicant for membership, or voter, shall be 21 years of age, or shall become so before the succeeding general election, and be a white Democrat, or a negro who voted for Genera~l Hampton in 18i6 and who has voted the Democratic ticket contin uously since.

ROYAL BAKING POWDEROO.,NEW YORK d TO HANG FRIDAY. v 11 rourny Lyles Maya He is Prepared to Go. He If** Made Peace With God. The editor of The Herald and News a was taken to the jail yesterday by Sheriff Buford and given an opportu- 0 rity to have a talk with Tourney Lyles, t4 who is under sentence of death. He 9 was convicted at the last term of court Y )n the charge of rape and sentenced v k be hanged on Friday, 20th of Au- l' gust. The facts are familiar to the h eaders of The Herald and News and need not be recounted. The crime was ,ommitted at Whitmire in the spring, d md he was arrested and brought to i jail and given a fair trial at the July fi :erm. A fair and impartial jury said le was guilty and he was sentenced to lie. The case is remarkable in this, that ;o far as we recall it is the first one in his State where a negro who had con- a nitted an outrage on a white woman was given the opportunity of a legal ianging. It should convince advocates )f lynch law that the courts do some- e imes give speedy trial and conviction w o the guilty. ll Tourney is not a bad looking negro. Fle has a rather good face and not the ppearance of a bad or dangerous man. a lie said he had been ministered unto apiritually by Rovs. F. R. Wallace and W McNeill. That he had made peace a with God and was ready to go, and he F lid not seem to have any fears or ap- " prehensions about the future. We sus- a pect that he scarcely realizes the dooin C which awaits him Friday. He substantially admitted his guilt, though he put some qualification to it. We understand lie has told several dif ferent tales about the affair, in one of t which lie implicated another negro. i He says now that there was no truth F in that story. He said emphatically r that it was not true that anyone else was with him, and that lie and the wo man were alone. t He now spidnds his time in singing V and praying, and is apparently happy and contented. Sheriff Bluford will use the same trap t,hat was used by Shecriff Rliser, and he has everything ready for the execu tion, including the hangman's kniot on the rop)e. He has issued a few tickets. The law, we believe, allows only a dozen or possibly t,wo dozen to witness the exe oution, apart from those who assist, in HIAR R/S LITIA WATE/H/ Carbonated Lithia Water, Soda Water, Ginger Ale Sold to the Wholesale and Retail, trade at lowest Prices by S.

The golden bowl is broken and the sil ver chord is loosened and the young and promising life has gone on the wings of the morning to the haven of eternal rest. Only those who have been thus stricken can know how to sympathize with the heart broken p)arente.

We have received the following or ir water, and we give it to our read. irs: 1. H. Aull, 1sq., Newberry, E. U.: Dear Sir: The following is too good o keep, so will lot you have it: A town darkey, with cup in hand, vas standing at our artesian well it hort timo since, when a country dar. :oy jumped off his wagon and asked ilm to allow him the use of his cup to eot a drink of water. When the coun. ry darkey had swallowed the water he macked his lips and said: "Golly, hat water's good, show's you bo'n." Mr. Town Darkoy, with an air of reat importance, replied: "In course it's good; hit's boun' tor be good, fur it como 4,000 feet from der intrils of or yoarth, and hit's been scandalized y der bes' gumnas from der State Uni ersary, and what yer think tie say it', got in lilt?" "I dunno," replied the country da,. ey, smacking,iis lips after swallowing notier pint or so of the water. "Well, lie say d0e is tenl grains of x-hide gas, ten grains cowebonic gas, m grains fox-fou'rus acid, and seventy rains hydrophobia in dat air water - ou know hit boun' ter be good; dat's a ell. you bet;" and he walked away iaving the country darkey shaking his ead and meditating. Finally the latter remarked: "Hit do ts'e powerfull of der rawhide, but I on't tas'e der 'phobia, nor der rou'rus old, 1ec' dat fool nigger mean ass' Llty arter all." Yours truly, PURR, WATEM. The Correspondento P11cule. It was a most delightful and pleasant Tair. It was held as per announco ent at the Fair Grounds on last Sat rday. The programme as to speaking as not carried out because the speak 's were absent but the picnic dinner as there in abundance and several ours were very pleasantly spent. The Herald and News practically iut up shot) and editor and printers Li went out in full force. Among the correspondents there ore quite a number absent, but Chips nd Josh Trunit and Clodhopper and airy Bell and H were there and their 'Ives and daughters and sweet hearts ud they made a pleasant and a happy imipany. The editor desires to say here and ow that lie most sincerely apIpreciates 10 compliment thus paid him and The ferald and News by those who help us D make the paper from week to week ,iteresting and desirable to its sub aribers. Some of them drove many illes to come. It was an act of loyalty ,nd kindness which we will not soon Drget. We cannot undertake to men. .on by name all of those who were resent for we might overlook sonic of hem. Kay was absent because as he rrote us he was not well but we fear e was frightened away at the prospect f making a speech. Rev. J. A. Sligh rho was on the program wrote us thiat 0, too, was sick and regretted his iina ility to attend. The morning houir was spent in social ntercour'se and at one o'clock the pic Ic dinner was spread and1( cakes anm mies and p)ickles and fried chicken an( maked chicken and ice lemonade waim here in abunmdanmce.
