last .Friday r.ight ton very large and appreciative
audience. The unanimous opinion 1
seems to be, that the performansu was qniteal
success, atx? that the young getit'eiiien did 1
1 themselvescredit by their acting. Their gro-1
tesquc and Changed appearances added much I
r*o the amusement*, and many were the resemblances
discovered toditlerent cullud persons,

think it otic of the best wofcty papers that
know of, the great efl'orl its Vditors ti.su ii
getting up news tint! in rendering it read
able should warrant success. There are i
, great, mauy peopPJ in thisscetlonns well as it
| the bonier conn tics of Florida who were onci
citizeiK'of South Carolina and every isstieo
I t!ie paper, we see sonic items of news that aft
I interesting. The crop prospect at this date
in tiiis section is better titan it has been foi
several years past, and there is every reasoi
why itstiould be. tillers of the soil went ti
work early in preparing their lands, whirl:
lwas done in splendid style, manuring everj
thingas tiir as possible, a phosphate compos!
being generally preferred, altSough manij>nla
ted guano was used to tilt out, and of but h used
in the county, the depot agent, says nine hundred
tons, which is :i -rood deal for a county
miles square. The oat croplisa partial failure
from i tic rust, which it took .early in tin
season and continued until harvesting, tin
corn crop for last season being short, has etuis

the tirst time in thirteen years. This county
having tor the past twelve or thirteen years
been makiuglits own supplies.

This section like many others of the national
government would l>v glad to see Bayard get
the democratic nomination, he is the most acceptable
man to the democracy and the (least
objectionable to the radicals, hence we arc for
llayard for President.
The combination of Colquitt, Cordon and
Joe Brown has caused immense excitement
and chagrin with us here. Colquitt K unanimously
denounced for appointing Brown, lie
is in no* sense of tlie word a representative
man of the people of this State, and; this
wiisas well known toColqiiitt asanybody else.
In this appointment Colquitt, has virtually
killed himsclffor renomination, which he has
been very eealous in trying to secure, his
friends with hi in have been trying to get up
a little "cheap boom" for him as the Christian
Statesman and asaSunday school speaker
??c, bull think theysjiw it was not making
him as popular as they and he anticipated,
hence the mule with Joe Brown and (Jen.
(iord'.>u Gen. Gordon enjoyed the con tldence
of this section as near unanimously as it was
possible for a politician to do, but alas that conlldenccstands
trembling and is soon to ho
slumbering with the tilings of the past the
general interpretation of the matter Is that
Colquitt and Gordon ha?lposition, Joe Brown
has money and brains.
Wo have in tins section a prominent man
who we would all like to see Governor, I refer
to the Hon. A. T. Mclntire ol Thomasville,
he is one of the largest tax payers in the
Slate, sound financially, a good lawyer, and a
man whose honesty and integrity is never
questioned. It will lie remembered that he
was the man who while in Congress in 1S72
mailt' such an etfort to get t lie "eotioniui x refunded
anil would likely have succeeded if he
would have gone into the "ring" that was
there formed by a few sharpers to collect the
tux anil let the "ring" pay producer, reserving
a large preceiitage for collecting AC, this he
declined to do. hut wanted the government to
refund direct to the producer, to this the i lnu
would not consent and lobbyed againsUiis hill
thereby causing it to be defeated, he is very
popular in this Kcctlon, and would carry the
lower counties unanimously.
Political matters in oil r sister State. Florida,
are assuming considerable pro port ions, and
the prospect for a general Democratic victory
is said never to have been ,tnorc promising.
While this may bo true, yet. I think this
should he tukrti with some degree of allowance.
The negro vote is very large, and to
add to this u large vote of Northerners on the
St. .lolins river, and you will see that it makes
the problem more difficult of solution. Although.
be it said to the credit of the netrroes
of Florida, that they are trying to cast oil' the
white radicals and scalawag* and thereby
run their own machine, but tills they find
ditllcull to do as the whlteAstlek to them closer
than a brother. They are fully aware that
they are out in the cold if they get loose from
the negro.
Gov. Jirew is snm to no inn most iivmui.ru
man to make tin* next race, although they
have some good material to select from, ami I
would not be surprised if Gen. l'erry of West
Florida did not net the nomination, but 1 have
Hone far enough with our all'airs. I am glad
to see that you are getting sueh si sjiirit of
building railroads, they are the backbone of
our country. Iain delighted over the news
that the Greenwood and Augusta. Uailroad is

natural outlet for Abbeville and she certainly
will never regret the money she puts into the
road. Respectfully, I'ltOlil'S.

For nearly lour long years the flag of the
democratic party has wafted prosperity and
success to every true cit izen of South Carolina,
both white and black, and why Is it that
they desire tosee it hurled from its position oi
power and dominion? It has commanded
taxes to fall, and they have leaped from their
former position. It has ordered Justice, both
to white and black, and it has been given. It
has crusned thieves and stationed honesty,
and why does the African nice have so many
objections to its authority. The tax before
1870 was almost twice as much as now, and
why was it? I can tell you and tell it ijuiekly.
It Wiis because you voted for some low,
degraded, vile, wretched. Northerner In oflice
that you never knew, nor heard anything of

your best friend, and he was your worst enemy.
It was only to get your vote, and place
himself In oillce so that lie might steal all the
public money on which he could place his
hands. He wired nothing for you.

Camukn, May 2H.?Our < <immunity srems *|
peculiarly uufortunulo. No people diseoun- *,
tenance duelling more tlum the majority of "
ourcitizens do. Yet for tlie fourth time iniN*
less than eight months we are disturbed by c
ftjtorts to arrange hostile meetings. This
time the effort was to have a pair of these J'
meetings. Col. K. 15. C. Cash, of Chcsterlicld, "
Challenged Capt. W. I.. KcJ'ass, of Camden, j J'
and Mr. llobert. Kllerbe, of southern Kershaw j 11
challenged Col. W. M. shannon. Capt. I>c-j"
JVss acceu^ed and Col. Shannon declined. )'
Warrants against Col. Cash, Capt. Del'ass and i '
and their seconds were obtained, and Capt.! 'j
ltel'ass and his seconds were arrested. Col. i \
Cash and his representative succeeded In j J'
evading arrest. So the matter stands to-day.! "
It is believed that further efforts arc being "
made to bring about a meeting. r:
Now the causes of this commotion : A Mr.
Welnges sued Mr. Kllerbe for damages claim-j
ed by reason of violence and injury to tho,r]
person of W'eiugcs by said Kllerbe. A verdict 1
for about ?2,t)!K) was awarded Wcinges. This!
Judgment was practically useless by reason j j
of a large Judgment or mortgage against Kllerbe
belli by the lafc .Mrs. Cash. Messrs.
Shannon l?el'ass for Wcinges instituted
proceedings to set aside the judgment or
mortgage of Mrs. Cash. Among the grounds
upon which these proceeding resteu was ino
charge of fraud, as every one seems to understand
it, legal notne/xa/frau*i. The diJferonee
.vere Is material. A person may by an act or
agreement commit, what. Is called U-yt.il ur contimeline
fraud, without, for one moment, ,]
tl reaming or intending any wrong ; without, t
therefore, being guilty of anything contrary -j
to perfect Integrity. No plain people and pro- (
fessional peopt'jseem to understand tho mat- (
k*r. Judge ICershaWjrtecidi-d that no fraud of i
any kind was contained in the judgment or c
mortgage, but set. it aside on other grounds. ,|
Appeal to the Supreme Court was taken,
ami the cause Is docketed for future hear-it
iug. j t
Messrs Shannon and Rel'ass are called outi f
for their professional acts in the various pro-1 j
oeedings named, ami Ills understood that the j
special cause is,thc allegation and theetuleav- j t
or to sustain, be it understood, constructive11
fraud. Hearers of the trial say that In thisi;,
.question and all other matters in Issue the J i
lawyers seemed to strive to avoid anything i
which might seem at all offensive. Re lliis'j
statement as it may, it. is undeniable that'
they are challenged to mortal combat for I f
professional acts which arc supposed to be! y
most sacredly protected. J j
Our community Is tired of these attempted > j
duels. Out of the four attempts but one wasjf
inaugurated by a resident. It is time for us't
to have a little quiet. It is time for this mat-',
ler ofduelling to be stopped, onceand forever. J f

ileuce ot a schoolmate. Would he then now,

With Governor Krown's appointment, I
