?Capt. Alexander, who is Jengaged

Captain got up bright and early and
caught his bird. About 2 o'clock in
I
the moniinjr two uegrocs paid the

?All parties having railroad petitions
for signatures are earnestly urged
to redouble their zeal in securing
names, as it is a matter of the greatest
j importance to the people of the whole
{ county. Railroads are what we want,
| need, and must have, if we expect to
j keep up wrjh the procession of proj
gress which has already commenced to
I move throughout the' entire South.
j Will the people of Fairfield remain
inactive and let this golden opportunity
slip by them? If they do, what
will the result be? The answer is
obvious to every thinking person.
Therefore, whoop up the railroad.
?The postofii'je department at Washington
has issued a circular to all postmasters
showing the annual amount of
mail matter sent to the dead letter
office. The number of packages run
up to the astonishing figure of six
millions, including letters, papers and
packages of all kinds and description.
Of this enormous mass of mail the
greater portion is forever lost to both
the sender and those to whom it is ,
sent. The prime cause of this is the
defective direction of matter put in
the postoffice. The department makes
every effort to forward letters, etc.,
that find their way to this office, but |
in most cases it is a hopeless under- |
taking. By looking over this circular ;
one l-eadily sees how imperative it is i
that all matter put in the postoffice

TIIE PRIMARY FOR CONGRESSMEN.
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.
Winnsboro gives Shell 80, Duncan
54, Mclvissick 0, Smith 0, Mauldin 0.
Ridgeway?Shell oo, Duncan 2,
McKissick 1, Mauldin 0, Suiith*0.

Some claim, Xovus Homo* that our

up there. That I know nothing of.,

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!
He must have understood me to say
we beat the State at Gladdens Grove.

we don't want Martin; so he can take

I doirt deny but what his caucuses
