The Congressional Primary passed off very quietly in Fairfield County. Perhaps no election in this county has , ever excited sj litte interest. Many did not even know that a primary was being held. The vote in the county is exceedingly small as will be seen by the returns. Tne anti-Tillman, almost solidly, failed to participate in the primary. The primary is a novel one. The convention which met. in Green ville on the or September passeu resolutions saving that the candidate receiving the majority of the votes cast shall be declared the nominee of the party. That same convention adopted the rnles and regulations ot the primary of 188S for the management of this primary, s*nd under the rules of '88, the candidate receiving the highest number of votes shall he the nominee of the party. So there is a very serious conflict right here if any one ot tho candidates chose t<> contest the nrimarv. Again the managers should have been appointed by the Congressional Executire Committee, yet they were appointed by the Chairman of the Tillman faction in Fairfield Connty. However, irregularity seems the com ct tiling now, and nobody ought to complain. It teems from the returns over the District that Shell will lead and Duncan will be second, while the other candidates liave no showing whatever. Below is given the returns as far as we have been able to get them, in thi3 county, aud a^y one who knows anything about the polling strength of the party in the county will readily see that the voting is very light.

That I know nothing of., i>ut 1 can say tnat our siae aia not have a man furnished by the United States as an enumerator and then let him fool us as bad as he did him and his boys. Xo. we did not crow over him 011 that occasion for he and his boys, as he calls them, didn't stay long enough for us to tell them good-bye. He, Xovus Homo, said: Judging from the character of Voter's letter, it was his' . i i. xi.~ iivst uuvx'hl nilu uw jvunimimw; cucic, and has not learned to disguise his personal feelings. Yes, I have warm feelings for him and our boys that have left us and gone up in the woods, and I want to get him to come out of these woods. In my letter I did not say we had all the intelligent on our side. But I did say we had the majority at Gladdens Grove. "We have a little intelligence on our side and we (lid not go in the woods to get it. That word intelligence, as he said, conies from the Latin. Well it may for ail I know, as I was not going to school with him up in the woods when he was studying Latin. I reckon I was holding to the plowhandles at that time, and, oh, what a pity he ana some of his boys had not been with me and. not up in the woods!

But he likes Martin belter than we do, and we don't want Martin; so he can take him with them up in the woods. I doirt deny but what his caucuses were open, for he had no doors to the woods to close. 1 will ask him did he vote in the club for president and then let lis use his name to send delegates to the convention of the county, aud then to the State, and about four or live weeks after that did he not withdraw from us?
