It was crowded out of Tuesday's issue, and Thursday's was well nigh absorbed by our report of the Democratic turnout at this place. ft The Liex Law.?The following resolution has been adopted by the Longtown Democratic Club: Besolved, That the Longtown Club does fully endorse the action of the Greenbrier Club in reference to the repeal of the Lien Law, and do respectfully urge apon onr representatives to exert their best endeavors to r? _ *- -w /* A I eneci 11s repeal.

L. Samuels. ? a Deaths.?Mrs. Margaret Clowney, b wife of Capt. Robt. C. Clowney, died j P on Monday last. She had been sick j ? for aboat three weeks, but she had e convalesced, and her death at last was t unexpected. Mrs. Clowney was a daughter of Mr. Brice, formerly of ^ Fairfield, and now a resident of Ala- e baina. She was a Christian lady enjoying the affection of her kindred and * the esteem of her friends. Her death is a sad blow to husband and children, q and they have heartfelt sympathy. s Little norence, inrani tiau?rnier 01 Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hardin, died on Monday last, after a brief illness. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. A. Simpson also lost a child on Wednesday last, from diphtheria. We extend sympathy to the afflicted parents. - .4 Ready for Business.?The new j advertisement of Messrs. J. M. Beaty & Co. appears in this issue. Thev have kept quiet for some time, mean- j 5 I while making ready for a big business | ^ this fall. Their store has been re- j51 painted aud pat in general good order, j aud it is now one of the best-looking ! a in town. Their fall stock has been j a carefully selected, and will be found I !i at once full and varied. In dry goods j n there will be found everything from j e staple homespuns to the very finest | n ^jcessgoods. ...In shoes you caneasils J v satisfy your preference, whatever that j 0 may be. The stock of lamily groceries j a | has been very judiciously selected, and 11 | housekeepers can procure anything v they may wish. Of course it is im- c possible to enumerate all the different e goods in'this establishment. The only P way to do is to examine the goods and j v then buy some. * Begixxixg to Bribe.?The follow-! " ing paragraph from the report of the | " Radical State Convention escaped our j c attention at the time it was published, j '' It shows what sort of material was j " contained in the crowd who have en- j 0 j dorsed McLane, and by whose support j I im means to draor the srood neonie of j I South Carolina again under (he iule oi'i " thieves and aliens. The Columbia j correspondent of the JS~ews and Con- \ i.1 rier says: I fi It is openly charged that Brayton's e defeat for chairman of the executive s committee was secured by a liberal c use of money, and that Mackey bought v A. J. Titus and Alfred Butler of the Abbeville delegation for sirty dollars and the Barnwell delegation for one 0 hundred dollars, and that Tucker and a Wade Hampton of Uuion, and Lakin s and Bvrd of Fairfield, were also seduced by Mackev's use of money. It is only fair to say that these bargains t are charged by Sam Lee's supporters, b who speak confidently, however, and a claim that they can substantiate their .. assertions. Lakin and Byrd have always been T rotten, and no decent man who knows " them will be surprised to hear that f they could be bought?and bought 1 cheap. ^ The Day of Atonement.?At sun- v down on Saturday Yom Kippur, or j r, the tieorew last 01 atonement, iox- me current year ended. It began Friday o evening at sundown, and ended Satur- r day evening as the sun sank out of t sight behind the western hills. The stores of our Jewish fellow-citizens t closed ou Friday evening were prompt- t ly opened and business was resumed, t The fast is kept in obedience to the fol- t lowinsr divine command, to be found in Leviticgs, xxiii., 27-32: a Also on the tenth dav of this sev- s enth month there shall be a day of atonement: it sball be an holy convocation unto yon: and ye shall inflict vonr souls and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And ye shall do no work on that same day; for it is a day of atonement, f to make an atonement for you before s the Lord your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he < shall be cut off from among his people: j And whatsoever soul it be that aoeth f flnv work in that same da v. the same ! ? soul will I destroy from "among bis people. J Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall b3 a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be unto you a Sabbath ofj rest, and ye shall afflict your souls. j Last Wednesday week, September j 13, began the Jewish New Year, the j 5643d according to the Hebrew calendar, and Saturday was the day of atonement for the sins of the past year. Senator from Kkrshaw.?The Kershaw Democratic County Convention nominated a splendid ticket, with! Major W. Z. Leitnerfor State Senator, j j Of this gentleman we find in the Ga- i j zette the following sketch: t | William Z. Leitner was born in Fair- ? field county, near Winnsboro, on the ' 2Sd of September, 1826. lie entered j the^Sonth Carolina College in 1847 and graduated in the cla>< of 1849. Was 1 j admitted to the bar in 1853. He en- * ered the service of the State with his sompany, the Camden Volunteers, on he 8th day of April, 1S01: was present it the bombardment of Fort Sumter, ind after^fhe fall of the fort, went mtnediately to Virginia; was in most >f the battles fought by the army of Northern Virginia and fell on the >attle-field of Gettysburg with his ight Ie<r below the knee shattered by frape shot. lie was. during and iinnodiately alter the war. twice elected o the Legislature from Kershaw at the jead of the ticket; was elected district udgc and held th?t position until the listrict courts were overthrown by nilitary orders. lie was airain selectid by the people of Kershaw for the Legislature in the memorable campaign >f 1876, but was defeated by an ove vhelming negro majority. Major Leitner has a host of friends n Fairfield, who are proud to number rim among1 her many sons who, here md elsewhere, have upon their merits ittained high honors at the hands of ler fellow-citizens. We predict foil iim a career at once honorable to himself and beneficial to all the true inter:sts ot his people. A GliEESBACK TICKET.

A circular has been put out in this :ounty, containing the announcement f the meeting- on the 25th (which Maj. iVoodward read to the Red-shirts last Luesday) and an address from Mr. D. i.

Barrett & Co.'s Great Railroad >how gave two fine entertainments in Viuusboro las* Monday. "We have ecu many circus performances, but ave rarely, if ever, seen one, so well ppointed and managed in all respects s this. The managers were gentielanly and businesslike, and the utjost good order and decorum prevaild among the employe?. There was one of that rowdyism and vulgarity rhich too often accompany this class f traveling troupes. The trappings nd equipages were clean, bright and 11 good order. The horses, mules and >'iki animals were all fat and in good ondition, and were evidently wellcard for and attended to. The numerous avilions were roomy, and at night rere brilliantly lighted. The reserved eats were comfortable chair arrangelents, and not, as is often the case, -infflv n rfii-i.v nai-niit snread over the oinmoii benches. The actors were all andsomely arrayed, and in every reject tlie appointments were far ahead fanyihing in this line ever seen in Vinnsboro. The street pageant was unusually ood. Three bands gilded chariots, a >ug line of cages, with the new and LTCsisfibly comic feature of masked gures on top, and a procession of lephants and camels, closing with a ! ' .-3 .1 - I ream piano, nengnreu uie uyes auu ars ot' old and young, and gave uniersal satisfaction. Of the circus performance we can nly particularize a few of the leading ttractions. The vaulting someraults and feats of strength were most xcellent, and the performance on the riple horizontal bar was unquestionably the best of its kind. The trapeze ct was unique, and showed a wonderul balance. The tight rope walkingfas as good as we have ever seen, and everal new features were introduced, specially that of two performers walkug on parallel ropes bearing a third ctor between them. The riding1 was i ally up to the best standard, and we rere much pleased with the beautiful naneye act. In the side-show were several curi>sities, notablv an Indian dwarf, a emarkably stout lady, a living alliga A Ui itlitl UU1C1 There was a very good audience at he day performance; at night the atendance was rather small, but neverheless the management carried oat he full programme. They are well worthy of patronage, nd we heartily wish them a continued ;uccess. THE COURT OF COMMON PZEA8. Frlal of Some Cases by the JuHe* a.nd Some by the Judge?Close of the Term. Tim fi-.llftnriiifr Mioc horo }u>on die. josed of in the Court of Common Pleas ;ince our last report: Madison S.-Abell vs. The Charlotte, Colombia & Augusta Railroad Com>any?Messrs. Gaillard & Reynolds 'or plaintiff, Col. Kion for defendants, rhis action was brought for damages illeged to have been suffered by the plaintiff by reason of the negligence of he defendants. He set forth that as je was driving along the public road ibont five miles below "Winnsboro, iu Itlarch last, his mules were frightened )y the approach of the defendants' ;rain. and wore struck hv the train? >ne being killed, and the other mortaly hurt. The plaintiff also alleged severe bodily injuries. The defence ;vas that the Company had been guilty >f no negligence, and that the accident esulted from the plaintiff's mules havng become unmanageable, ai?d runling into and against the defendants' ;rair\ The jury found for the defendants. Hey ward Bostick vs. Nathan Blake ?Mr. Mackev for plaintiff, Mr. Mc JonalcWor defendant. This was an ippeal fh>m a judgment rendered by k - c: . x : i Trial Justice Neil. The plaintiffclaim- j ed of the defendant twenty dollars ; damages for the defendant's breach of j his contract to leaie to the plaintiff a j certain lot of land. The trial justice j gave judgment for the plaintiff for $20 and costs, from which the defendant j appealed to the Circuit Court. After I hearing the case the jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $17 and costs. The Department of Agriculture vs. Edward P. 3>lob!ey. The Same vs. Wylie J. Davis. Col. Jno. C. Ilaske'l, of Columbia, annealed for the plaintiff! j in each case, and Col. ltion for the de| fondants. The two casesdependingupon a similar state of facts, they were tried j together. The claims of the Depart- | ment rested upon an alleged contract j of the defendants to p.iv the paseageinonei of certain immigrants sent to j the defendants upon their order. The | defence was that the immigrants did not come up to the representations j made by the Department, were unfit; to do the farm work required, and j were generally useless to the defend- j ants. The plaintiffs, on the other I hand, relied upon the contract alleged j to have been made by the defendants. I and claimed thai they did not give j timely notice of the matters which they set up. After hearing the evidence, j the arguments, and clie charge of the j Judue, the jury retired. They came; | into Court for instructions, and were ! I sent back. They soon announced that j | they could not agree. Being sent back a second time, according1 to the re! quirement of the statute, they again | stated that they could not agree. A j mi-trial was entered accordingly. The juries were discharged on Thursday afternoon. The proceedings since then have been mostly orders, etc , on the equity side of the Court, and of no 1 i * ^ mt. r 11 generu interest. me ioinnvm^ j peals from the courr of Trial Justice Neil were heard and determined by ! tii<> Judge, without a jury: Thomas P. Wailing vs. John C. ' Gadsden?Mr. Mackey for the plaintiff, ' Mr. Buchanan for the defendant. This ! was an action for damages done to the plaintiff's crop by the defendant's cat- 1 tie. The trial justice gave judgment ! for the plaintiff, and the defendant | appealed to the Circuit Court. After considering the case, Judge Wither- '< spoon affirmed the judgment of the court below, and dismissed the appeal. Gooding & Elliott vs. ('has. K. Rubb ( ?Mr. McDonald for plaintiffs, Messrs.

The jury in the trial justice's court foriiid in fall for the plaintiffs, and tlie defendant ap;u?aled. After hearing the case. Judge Witherspoon dismissed the appeal. Court adjourned on Saturday, and Judge Witherspoou left for Lancaster. THE BEAR CREEK MEETING. < Speeches by the Different Candidates?A Pleasant Gathering. < Ridgeway, S. C., September 16.?The ' union meeting and barbecue of Long- { town, Ridge way and Bear Creek took ' place to-day. There was not so great a s number in attendance as might have been expected, but whitening cotton fields and cotton-opening sunshine arc 1 the cause, and not a lack of zeal on the part of these farmers for the cause 1 of good government. An old citizen, 1 in reply to a query, why jthere were 1 no more 111 aiienciance, repnea tnat 1 there was no need of a fall meeting, as there was no danger of a Democratic defeat; the election would not . 7 j come off before frost, and it generally , killed everything green anyhow. < Capt. E. H. Heins, with very appro- \ priate remarks, introduced as the first speaker Mr. A. J. Lamar, candidate j for the Legislature. The principal j part of his speech was showing the ; true history ol'J. llendrix McLane ' and the Rev. I. I). Durham. If any ! supporters of the ticket upon which i these names appear came to the meet- < ing they most certainly must have gone , home with changed minds. Dr. T. B. McKijistrv was next intro- , * * TT J* . ii. - ? .1?/* 11 aueeu. lie a wen upon me great (.inference in the expense of the Demo- ' era tic and the Republican administra- ! tion. He is in favor of increased pay "j for jurors and special taxation for the maintenance of public schools, lie tecommends that each club hold a , special meeting to canvas the repeal of j the Lien Law, and that Represents- ' tives act upon the voice of the people ! thus taken. 1 Mr. G. II. McMaster next received a I' y* . _ -1-. J- x! .. Tt. 5J1 I 1 very nattering lmrouuction. ziu suiu he could say little against "sore- ! heads," as he had a little before run into a yellow jacket's nest, and a mein- ! ber of that family had wreaked vengeance on his head, tie showed the Republican party was not the strongest party of even the United States. lie next explained the origin of the oft used and seldom understood word ' Bourbon," showing it ta be a misnomer as applied to Democrats, but very applicable to the Republicans, the former being the party of progress, fl?<? lotfOP ftini'llHC o??\- .1l/ro 1 f ( arc abuses in our legislation they can best be remedied in the party. The Stock Law was here ably defended ' and adduced as one of the proofs of progress. The too frequently repeated assertion that in the South the best men belong to the Democratic party, the worst to thp Republican, in the : North vice versa, was denied and disproves The best men, both North and South, belong to trie Democratic party. The statistical history of the different presidential elections shows j that we have been in the majority ; nearly every time. The Republicans have had the better of us in the electors, the electoral commission and in trickery generally, but we had the majority of the voters. Many men at the North, who vote the Republican ticket, arc at heart Democrats. Let them be but convinced that we quond'.irn rebels have no designs against tlie United States government, and we imv hp. assnrpri nf their heartv r.rv operation. The government patrouaire, too, swells the Radical ranks, lie spoke of national aid for our schools, and expressed a desire to see the Lieu Law repealed, if the voters wish it. The tiiue seems propitious for its repeal. Mr. Joseph S. Gnnnell, president of i 111V VxVUtil V/l vvn uuu vuuviiviwcv for the Legislature, was next introduced. He compared the expenses of four * years of Radical rule with four years of Democratic rule, much to the di scredit of Radicals. The Greenback party is desirous of becoming' its successor. He said that he feared the i party on the principle thai the Irishman did the bug after being stung by a hornet, fearing that it was the same ".animal" with a different coat. We have already suffered by a black-coated i party, and it behooves us 10 beware of; this new comer in the green suit. He I is in favor of repealing the Lien Law j j and of legislation favoring the educa-; tional interests of the country. In the | lal>or contract law a penalty should be j attached to the employe who breaks j the contract as well as to the one who j emplovs him. The success of the! State is the success of the farmer. With a tew remarks m regard to his known integrity of character and successful professional career, the president introduced Mr. A. S. Douglass. \ He stated that the Lieu Law was! merely meant as a temporary expedi-j ent. and, in his opinion, had had a. bad effect on the agricultural interests of the country. The present prosperous condition of the country may indicate that the time has come for its repeal: but as to that let the people s-peak. It is a question belonging to them and them only. In respose to a request that he would state more clearly his position, he spoke in a very eloquent manner of the superior claim of the agricultural interests on the lawmakers, which elicitcd bcartv and prolonged applause. When interrogated as to the validity of a crop mortgage, he stated that it was valid by the highest court authority. There are subjects of greater importance to us than the Lien Law, viz.: an economical administration and the lowest possible rate of taxation. Education vitallv concerns us all. The Demo crats have ('.one all they could with t!>e means at their command. Our noble superintendent reported last year $41o.0U0?a very favorable showing against the Radical regime. He next explained the graded school system. The new party is opposed to the virtue and wealth of this country; the leaders are a mongrel crowd of soreheads, etc.; and are they fitted to lead a great reform, to ru'e, control and dispense the public :noney? Reform with thein means themselves in oftice, and those who have conducted the affairs of government so well thrown out. Their very platform is in direct opposition to tiie experience of every nation. The inflation of the currency would lead to a stare of affairs similar to what we hud during the war. Paper money is convenient, but worthless if not redeemable. Taxation will be greatly increased by their theories. The income of government must be greatly increased to pay off her $1,450,000,000 debt, and taxation must increase to furnish that income. We must pay a debt bearing three per cent, or four per cent, interest with money worth to us ten or twelve per cent. lie <rave us an instructive history of the reduction of the national "debt, and then proceeded to prove the oneness of the Greenback and Republican parties. Then followed a, strong appeal for the Democratic party. He said he would quit to give a friend a chance t > talk some. The audience cried, "Go ahead, we love to hear yon talk;" but he persisu>d in his resolve, and introduced Mi*. Ilayne McMeekin. who. in spite of the lateness of the hour, the readiness of dinner, and the much speaking already done, gave us a goud speech. It was now two p. m all the candidates for the Lc?islat- . j had spoken, ind we repaired .o - table with a lieaivy relish and j^.eat expectancy, b'i'om the rapid disappearance of bread md huge chunks of barbecued meat, roar correspondent concluded that the Democrats were heavy feeders. Your correspondent had to leave immediitcly after that interesting part of the programme, and failed to hear the itrernoon speeches ot Messrs. Jas. jj. ! tclnnoud. Dixon fcl. Robertson, J. D. Harrison and H. C. Davis. Ridgewayite. CLOSING THE CANVASS. rhe Last of the Primary Meetings?Joint Assemblage of the Winnsboro Clubs-Addresses by the Differeni Candidates. As arranged by the Democratic County Executive Committee, a joint meeting of the two Democratic clubs )f Winnsboro was held in the court tionse on Saturday night.

This is the scene of forensic efforts which the untrained orator cannot expect to equal. But it is proper that the aspirants for olnce should make known to the people their vievvs on the different questions of interest to them. . There are no political questions dividing our people, and the matt', rs for discussiou are purely local in their character. Much has been said as to the Lien Law. This is an embarrassing quesiiou, with much to be said on bt?tii sides. There is no difference among the candidates?thev ill concur in their views on the subject. The matter is for the people, and it is doubtful how they would decide. Hie present system, it is claimed, facilitates credit, thus tempting to extravagance, and helps a hostile element, sunong us. The risks involved, result in nigh charges and exorbitant profits, fhese are some of the arguments -X i! . T n*!- - A.* ... ugaiusc me law. j.mr question is, uuu? the necessitous condition of the people will for it to remain of force? The bountiful harvests of this year may jive an opportunity for its repeal. All these, however, are mere presumptions, and may be erroneous. It is a question for the people. The preponderance of the argument appears to be on the side of repeal, and, in the ab eenceof instructions, I should vote for such repeal. The educational interests of the State are of vast importance. Education is the basis of national prosperity. Its advantages are unquestionable. The public school system is no longer an experiment?its success is assured. Appropriations for this object should be measured only by the people's capacity to pay. We have vet too little money for the schools?the average session being not more than three and a half months in the year. Ignorance must be the result of this condition, til 111 WC M1UU1U HUVC IllUlVrt^C VCll school facilities. The State tax cannot well be increased, and the only method of raising the additional fund is through local taxation. Your own success in your graded school is evidence of the good results of this plan. The property of the State in the Citadel and ihe University should be utilized , and the Legislature have made appropriations for1 maintaining these institutions. My convictions are that in this the Legislature: did right. These institutions give higher education to poor and rich alike. Other local questions exist, but they are not of <rreat importance?certainlv they have uot divided oar people to any appreciable extent. The great question before us is the maintenance of good government as established in 1876, and the preservation of our civilization. We must all unite in the effort to preserve the blessings of good government. Captain McMeckin then made an interesting review of the.Detnocratic administration, as compared with the Radical, and impressed the importance of preserving what wo chained by such hard efforts. He closca by congratulating the Fairfield Democracy upon the evidences of harmony everywhere apparent. The chairman introduced as the next spet.kef MR. JOSEPH S. GUKKELL, who said: I am not much in a conditio!) to make a speech. I have been round on the canvass, and my ammunition is about exhausted. I am proud to stand.before the Winnsboro Democracy?a branch of "that great party whose history is the history of economic government in South Carolina. For six years we have been in undisAll A ^ iU/-v jHiit u. vi uic guvei iiurcut. Nov? we arc confronted with a new opposition?the Greenback party. This is but the old Radical party in disguise. I feel towards them pretty much as the Irishman did towards the hurnet. He tackled a hornets' nest, and got badly stung. After awhile he come across a Juue-bug, and got out of the way. A companion said to him, ' Don't run?it won't sting." Said he, "No?it's the same mau; only he's changed Iiis coat." The Greenback party is the same party from which we rescued the State in 1876. They have only changed from Black Republicans to Greenback Republicans. In Llie questions before the people there nrc some matters chiefly interesting to the farmers. The Lien Law has jjiven rise to a credit system which lias been very injurious in its effects. This law is opposed by many because it creates a fictitious credit and demoralizes labor. On the other hand it is said that its repeal would hurt the poor man and the laborer. It is a doubtful question, and ought to be i submitted to the people. When the people's will is declared, the legislator's duty is plain. Without instructions, I should vote for the repeal of the law. Education is of the utmost importance to all the people. The present o/]i?ni*olJo K??t M\A I sessions are not lonir enough. We all admit the power oi' intelligence?and intelligence will always rule in South Carolina. The establishment of the College is right?I only wish we could give it more. But we want more money for the common school5, and how to &et that monoy is a diffi.uh question. This matter demands the best efforts of our Legislature. "We are an agricultural people, and the farmer should control the logisla tion in tiie state au?, iiiueea. in tne United States. He is the mainspring of our progress and our government. I mean no disparagement of any class or profession of our citizens. Anv such charge would be absurd, and it would be very wrong. We must cling together as we have done in the past. No one class redeemed South Carolina. We must stand together as we did in 1S76. In conclusion, I thank yon for your kind attention. If honored with your confidence, I shall strive to prove worthy of the trust. 1 think that the chief interest of this country is the interest of the farmers?the tillers of the soil. Their interest is the best in teres* of ail the people. The next speaker in trod need was DR. T. B. M'lCDiSTRY. lie snid: It is a pleasant duty to appear before a Democratic audience like this. You must not expect too much of me, for von may be disappointed. I shall endeavor to present briefly the issues before us. I am proud to speak to you as true-blue Democrats, who mean to stand up for rood government in South Carolina. in tawing a, we unu uiuin i changes in our history. Before the war we were a prosperous, happy, progressive people. The war closed, to tile great di?comfiture of the defeated. Our people were disfranchised, while Iheir former slaves were enfranchised. We lad first a military government, followed by the infamous Reconstruction measures. Ignorance was put to rule intelligence?corruption and robbery triumphed over honesty?tiil at last our condition became unendurable. By a tremendous struggle we drove the thieves from power, and the good people took charge of the government. We can yet go through more, in order to preserve that government. The record of the Democratic party in South Carolina is a proud one. They have reduced taxes to the lowest limit, and the people pay these without grumbling. The government is carried on with the greatest economy. We have a partv?or the semblance of a party?seeking to pull down this good government. It is known as the Greenback party. Here in Fairfield? which they call the nest-egg uonutv? i they have about their oid strength, ' about twenty members. All the Green: backers want is office, and they know ; it. They are nothing better than the * 1 *1 .1. 1 A j oui iuiuicais, uui inej are irnmg 10 | borrow strength from the Democrats. | Thev have made a trade with the Radicals, but they put no colored man on their ticket. All they want from him is his vcte. Yon have alre^dv been addressed on the subject of the Lien Law. This is a question'* for the farmers, who are mainlv interested. This law was passed when there was no credit basis, and to relieve the people's necessities. But the lien' has not met the case. It is not enough, and sellers now require additional security in the shape ol mortgages of real and personal property." It seems very convenient, but it really encourages extravagance. It is a question for the people, and the representatives should carry out their wishes. Without any instructions, I should vote for its repeal. Education is an important subject. We have but one available system of education?the public schools. These should be fostered as far as possible. The constitutional tax will only run the schools about four months each year. Taking the scholastic age?six io sixteen?this would give but forty months. Bui at least one month each vear is lost by the interruption, so that the net duration is but thirty monthstwo and one-half years?in the whole A/.lt/vl <..-f i A l\/k?M/\^ TktO f AA fllolif dl<UUI(lMJl> ?ATI 1UU* JLlilO 10 IVU CIIU1 l? and we should endeavor to extend it. We have wisely appropriated money for the College and the Citadel. These institutions should be fostered as much, as possible. We must educate our children, so as to enable them to keep pace with the progress of the times* Intelligence lies at the base of our government ?nd institutions. The offices of auditor and treasurer should be voted for in the primaries. I favor this as a principle, and many of the people also favor it. These positions have generally been.,tilled by good men, and here in our own county we have had excellent officers?botii auditor and treasurer. But there has been trouble elsewhere?in Chester and Newberrv, for instance. On principle, the auditor and (he treasurer should be chosen by the people. This would tend to unify the party. There is some dissatisfaction, not with the incumbents, but with the manner of filling: the offices. The pay of State's witnesses?fifty cents a day?is too low. It does 1101 pay a man's expenses. It should be increased at least so as to reimburse a man for his actual expenses in attending court in obedience to a summons, i in conclusion, i tnaiiK you ior your kind attention. I shall stand or fall by the Democracy, and do my utmost to insure its entire success. The next speaker introduced was MR. A. J. LAMAR. Be said he was pleased to address the Winnsboro Clubs, but felt some- i what like an Irishman who was once called on for a Fourth-of-July speech, and who was too drunk to speak. Said he:. "I am proud I am a citizen of Ameriky, but my bosom is so full of patriotism that divil a word can I sphake." There are really no issues hp for p. the neoDle. As to the Lien Law, all the candidates have straddled the fence, and some have got up on the stake-rider. There are many objections to the law, and some arguments in its favor. Tlie chief argument urged, is that it would destroy men's credit. But it seems that if, in all the time since the law was passed, a man has not established a credit, the law won't help him much to do so. As to the change, it ought to be left to the clubs, and the representatives will carry out their wishes. My own private conviction is that the law should be repealed. rm n l 1 ? iL*.. 11 i."U ine vjrreenna.CKers, as uir? t;iii uieiiithemselves, have put out a ticket of ignorance and odium. Weal! knowMcLane and Dave Elkin. In Seventy-six they were the hottest Democrats in the county, and favored extreme measures.

They sav their movement I was born in Fairfield?and it will get i us a earn nere too. ai. is lioimiig more i nor less than a Radical ticket, and we j must croah it out.
