Wha' sug-j g.jsts the change U ihi di.?>rde. lv con- j venlion ht*M in Kentucky. "Tnis j convention method of n initialing' officers has beea discontinued in some States,'' s*ys our contstnp'rarv, ila?d if tho Kentucky plan i? tu imitated by j other State.*, the sooner ihi^ method is ! disc >utinnei everywhere the be for for | the morals of the people. N > method,! so far trieJ, is entirely Mtisfacfory." J "The primary plan of i;o:*tinatin*r ii i an improvement in some respe -t-," as | the Courier very properly obsetvep, j ubnt as coDdacied iu this S-a e it is llIlsaiKiaciury asiu nuus gica ? veniPncc to the candidates, as we-1 as discomfort aud expinse." Th? Courier hits the real evil when it suggests: "What the country nerds is fewer elections, while the primary j plan has iu fact double the number" j Our contemporary is inclined to think that there ouaht to be uo nominations. 4<A reform iu the methods oi nomiinaling officers is needed, ami it i9 beginning to look as if there oi.ght to * ' * - > J- .Ua F)e no nomiuauou?, ?nu leave iuc general election open for a free for-all ?fi^ht to any number of candidates. Then there would be only one e'ecuon; and no disgraceful scenes in a moblike convention." It is well that oar esteemed contemporary did not make this snggcstioii several years ago. It would have been denounced as a bolter, and very proDaoiy wouia nave uecu called "a rad'.cal sh^et" 2nd other opprobrium hames. Cut there is a great de*l of force in what the Courier s?_v=, and u is well that the c >nditions now are sash that the "n form is onr political rauihods" can be discussed without any bitterness. The principal obj c ion to going straight to the gen..^oi a. frpp-for-all fhht" is that it would abrogate the "mvjoritv rn!e,"ooeof the best features of the primary Svstern being that the nominee for any particular office must receive a in>*j ?r:ty of the vote-* cast for that offi:e. Then aft*T all, would we get rid of all the e?i!s of iheprimrry system suggested by odr contemporary, sach as the great expense? Of oursa, there would be no law compelling the cmdidate to canvass the State, but we venture to ?ay that they wonlddoit. If one did it, all would fscl bound to see tlie people. Oar contempory must not forget that it wa? said a few years ago in every county in the State that it was a great privi' ?AAnU UfA IAAL" (IIO AQ Tl lege iui wtc ivwn. iuv V? didate in the eye," and it wa3 asserted that the denial of the great right wa3 one of the reasons given for the sweeping assertion that South Caroliua, np to lhat lime, had never had a Republican form of government, Nor do we think the general election would remedy the complaint made by I the Courier tha*, by the primary s)fetem, "it trequently happens that the best men are not nominated." This is i a matter left entirely with the voters, and we can see no reason why the j same voters would exerci=e any more j judgment in a general election than in j the primary. After all, the remedy h with the voter. Raise the standard of the voter; instil! h*m with higher notions of citizenship, a*d the reform will! come. The man or woman who wants a \ free advertisement is a familiar acquaintance in every newspaper offi;e. We observe that some of oar contem poraries are writing about this familiar acquaintance, and some of tbem are advocating that *'tbe acquaintance should be cur," aud are discussing the best way to d) it and to what extent on'tinor" ahnnld nwftfisd. During the last few day?, no less Inn half 3 doz2U have applied to us for an advertisement, and not a word was said about paying for it. The applicants were not representatives of any charitable institutions. Sums of tkem represented rich corporations which had things to sell, and they had th-^ effrontery to suggest that tue paper i woa'd assist in making sales. We were to furnish the paper, ink, t\pe, printers and pay the reporter to wrhe I the advertisement, in order (hit the public might know what a good iking the seller bad! It is otteu s:iid that th-i snccesstul man is the one who rmrWat?w!s hnw in nse other neoDl3 to do his work, aad we know of no j cla?s which acts more thoroughly npon j this principle th^n the deadhead ad- i vertiser, for ho uses the newspapers without paying for it, and newspapers are foolish enough to tolerate it Th3 | remedy for the evil U in the newspaper I office.

The personal remiD'.scenses are such as I have ! /vatfrnm talk nf the older mem bers of the family and the political incidents of the Regulator are by Prof, fi. cleans Davis. T. W. Woodward. The fiiSt American ancestor of "the Regulator" came from England wiih George Calvert, Baron of Baltimore, about 1G31, and settled near Aunapolis, i Md. It was here that Thomas, the father of the llegalator, was born and | raised. By his first wife, whose maiden name I do not know, he bad several children. After her death he went to Fairfax County, Ya.. and married Elizabeth Simpson, the descendant of k Scotch lainilv. Thomas Woodward a^d Elizabeth Simpson had one son who wa? the Regulator. Heiuruiag to Maryland to bring ta Fairfax the children of the first marriage, he died before accomplishing his purpose and the children remained in Maryland, leaving many descendants who reside in thai State. After the death of Thomas Woodward, his widow married William Robertson j and reared tnree suns, wiuiam, ouau and Henry, and several daughters, j 5ome of ;hese children moved in after years to Dinwiddle County, Ya.; and others to North Carolina. | (Note. The earliest mention of the Woodward family was about the year 1660, when they were wards of the j wood, or keepers of the forest for ! William the Conqueror who "loved j the tall deer as if he were their father." i Their names as was usual in many ! cases indicated their occupation.) In a series of letters from General Thomas Simpson Woodward, a | grandson of Wheeling, Winn Parish, La., to J. J. Hooper, autnor 01 oimon Suggs and editor of the Montgomery Advertiser iu 1S57. he says, speaking of the Regulator! "iliat he showed i:i early life an inclination to become ; a soldier, and was in the French war, oeiug a part of the time with George Washington, who was then a Major j or Colonel. He was a captain in the service, and much older than Washington. From what I learn from Parson "Weems and others, the old man was regarded as a good fighter." At an early a?e Thomas, the Regulator, married Jemima Collins, and had by bcr four daughters and two sons. The sons bore the names of John and ' William. Tfee daughters married Nelson, Raiford, Rabb, Andersou. While in servicc he lost bis wife, and after coming to South Carolina he be' came acquainted with the Widow May, who had Indian blood in her veins. I rreSSlDg ms SllU, SUtf aweyteu liiui i and tbev were married. Of this j union there were three sons and three daughters. After this marriage, he brought home in Virginia his motner and three half brothers, "William, John and IJenrv Robertson. William was the father of Major Bsnoni .Robertson, T * 1 - c lL* T Kimn/tK onH JOUU Ul ILiO LiWgWHYU U1 aiibu, uuu Henry the father of "Turkey Jim," whf.rn I have frequently met on bis hunting and fisbiog expeditions on Mill Creek. The mother of Thomas Woodward and the Robertsons lived to be 114 years old. Capt. Woodward, it 6eeme, came to South Carolina prior to 1760, a date sometimes assigned to his coming, for there is on record in the office of the Secretary of Stat9 a grant of land of 200 acres da^ed 12th April. 1758. (Vol. 6, page 390.) There were other grants in Craven County, viz , '50 acres on Cedar Creek, (vol. 7, page 2S1,) on 12th January, 17G3, 100 acres on Wateree Rivr> and Creek, on 14th T.nnA..if 17f.Q 1 AA oornc nn nr?r-?h niiif* O 31J UA1 Yt it Vt/, iUV uvtvw V** of Broad River, on Cedar Creek, and between 1766 and 1774, four tracts embracing COO acres in Craven County, (one on Mill Creek.) Mo3t of these tracts were bounded by vacant lands, showing that trie chantry at that time was sparsely settled. Tradition has it that he cams when South Carolina called on Virginia aud North Carolina for assistance against the Cherokes Indians. Fairfield is described at this time as being one ot the most charming aud fertile districts in the State, and its settlers were chiefly devoted (o stock raising, Kirkland, the grandfather of old Re?<ben Harrison the rvw/\nren;tnr rtf n!r1 Trihn Harrison own iog as many as fifty brood mares. After hostilities had ceased, and the people bad returned to tbeir homes, many dishonest men were banded together for U13 purpose of stealing and carrjing away such of tli3 slock as they could lay hands on. As there was no court nearer than Charleston,! and but one provosr, or sheriff for the v. .io!o colony, the organization of a body of regulators became a necessity, as i he Ku K!nx Klan was a necessity in the South after the war of secession. It might be supposed that from his character and prominence Capt. Woodward would take the lead on this work of suppressing robbery and outlawry. lie was not a man of letters, hat was endowed with au ample fund of practical and useful information, and was one of the founders oc the Ml. Zion Society. He is said to lave subscribed for the first newspaper taken in the district, and for a long time it was the custom of the neigh-1 hi.rl>An/t ncsAvnhlf'. of. his hon?P onf.0 I a week to hoar the uews read The fir^t duelling house of Capt. Woodward was ereefced at tbe place known as the Muster Field Spring, on lands now owned by Major Thomas W. Woodward; and known as the Coon II*11 Place. Here may still !>a seen tv.e rains of the settlern-int with the , remains of the "apple jack cellar," st common ia tho-:e da>s when di uukenhp?s was rare and dispensaries unknow n. Near the eld homestead was a racj track, which was still plainly visible ihroush (he woods ia 1SGG when the land was cleared, although l<>ak- twelve inches in diaoiofer had | irrown up hi the track. Old Major Uenoai Robertson, father of 2Ir. I Thomas G Kobe-tson, (now 82 years of age,) an-1 old 'Billy'' Simpson, who Jived at the old Williamson ph:ce, now known as Simpson's were the race riders.

Co!. Clark settled on Pacolet 1750, f Patrick Calhoun settled in Lo-g Uane | in 173C; previous to which time says Uurasey, not more than twenty fau,il;e.s had settled in upper Ca-oiina.

Graw owned places *n Morris' Creek as early as June 25, 175S, while Edward McGraw, Jr., (who was probablv the Regulator) secured grants for 250 acres in 1770. These holdings do not neee sarily include all lands owned, for they cowpri-e only original <;: a:its. William and John Fraser, or Fraz:er, or Frashor, ow;;ed places on B;oad River as appears from I he book of plats and also the council record*. Wiliiam Scott owned, apparently, unless there were several persons of that i:arar, a large number of tracls, chidly along tbe Wateree and oantee. In the absfuce of definite location in the nairative, tbe dealings of the princi- j pal actors in the regulation may be guessed approximately. A war with the 1'berokees be^an in 1757 and lasted till 1761 when the tre?g:hof the C.u.erokees was almost totallv deitrojed, and they bad to 6tie for peace. This fact induced another wave of immigration; but the settlers were not all deiirab.'e persons. There were inrsc thieves, Indian traders, drunkards and immoral mwi who made the back countrv a reproach. Unable to stamp these offenders out by means of the regular channels of justice, since there was but one court in Charleston for tbe whole province, tbe law abiding men of thi back country or?ran!z-?d a "regulator'' for the purpose of bringing miserein's to jtisilce The movement wa? widefc[jiead. In North Carolina, "as early as 1766, the people began to resist exco.ssive taxation, these disturbance, beginning in Granville, extended into Oiansjeaud Anson counties." Tbese men seemed to have called themselves "iha mob" nntil April 4, 17t>3, t&ey changed it lo that of "regulator*." They rose in arms against the y<,v..-rnme-it but Gov. Tryon whipped them at A'amiuce. Bridge, killed several hundred and tried and hanged some more. (T? "fir's History of the Revolution i.i o. o.) Many of these regulators afterwards became Tories, having bad encuzh of resistance to the king's officers.
