V ilie Pros3 and Banner. | iJj Iiu?h Wilson an:l H, T. Ward law. Wednesday, Oct. 25, ISS3. T!ic Const it nlta::.0.! Aiiiiu<lmcut$. Our citizens will soon be called upon to deposit their ballots on the throe pro-j posed Constitutional Amendments. The! Amendment a* to the counties, we are,' firmly convinced, should be voted down.! There was no public noco.ss.iiy for a:;ita- { tin^ tliat ("juesiion now. As .1 matter ol j fact a few distinguished politicians of the] State secm to have fathered that tnove-1 input in :t rtuiet wav. Ii we arc correct ly : informed die movement commenced, imt1 with tin* people, but with ,1 few persons wlm met in Columbia, planned the move, i secured the concurrence of the (Jovernor; in that ho would recommend the matter to the Leiiishituro at its extra session.) The leaders in this same move induced! the Deinocralie members to hulil a caucus.' A portion of that number l'avorod the; Amendment, another portion opposed it.' and quite a number thought there could 1'6 no objection to letting tho people votej on it. All .tins appeared fair enough.; But to tlie sequel. When it comcs to J voting, the Kxeeutive Committco do not) feet authorized to print and send tlie uec-j rssarv tickets. All their official power,! .as well as their art of transferring re-' sponsibiiity to County Chairmen, is employed to champion the allirmative sidej of the question. This wo believe to be! the true state of affairs, and our people! arc to judgo whether it is a ease of Boss- < ism. ' | Another question to bo voted upon isj that of disfranchising the citizen for va-i rio'is oficnces, and "other infamous! crimes." We object to "other infamous j crimes" because of its indettuiteucss. j We a.-e not certain that it is well to adopt j this Amendment anyhow. In saying! this we know the pulHic sentiment is, against us, but wo have a right to our 'opinion, and our readers have a right to know that opinion. To deprive a man of the right to vote is co ocpnvc nun ui > izenship, arid we think that too severe aj punishment for some ol' the offences enu- J in crated, and it is certainly too much J for "other infamous crimes." It: would seem to us, with otir present laws the negro can be sufliciently punished. The third and last Amendment is in reference to holding the State elections on j n day apart from lhe National elections, j Wo believe the almost universal senti-j meat is in favor of that change. We re-j gard this as u most important matter, j and one which may be followed by the most important results. Wo are onlyj &orry that this question has not been dis- j cussed, in order that we und others might bo aided in coming to a conclusion. As yet we ate not fully persuaded as to what! is our duty. If wc separate the elections | we very much fear that we will allow the) National election to go by default. We j 'do not see the great advantage of the change, and if we can make one grand] ralij* and win tiie whole ticket, so mucin thu better. We feel as much interest in j the United States Government, and have; as much prida in being properly repre-} Uf Wsts'iincrton as do anv neonle! "" " " " I on the globe. This country belongs as.; much to South Carolina as it does to Massachusetts, and it' the separation of the State and National elections means that wo are to yield up o?r represents-j tion in Congress, we must be opposed to # tho change. We want Congress to be j Democratic, and shall we now withdraw ! our forces when tho recent elections in j Ohio, and tho prospects of further success in other Suites is so encouraging toj ns and so depressing to the opposition: ticket which never expected to be elec ted, | but hoped to be seated by virtue of the I lladical majority in Congress? This is a| grave matter, which should not to bei lightlj* disproved of. We urge our people to think well of all i these questions, and vote their own con-; viction*. Bossism. What's the use of Bosses if^hey don't i run tho machine? Tho Bosses are now I doing what Democratic leaders did before j 1376. Then the country Bosses imitated j their city Bosses, by rnnnin? the whole! campaign. Before the era of Democratic j s- rule the country 'Bossss won Id meet in] somebody's back law office, nominate a ticket, and then tell the people to elect j them. The people at these times paid! very little attention to the orders of the "Bosses, who wero so self-sufficient. After a while however tho sub-Bosses} got a little of the conceit knocked out of! thorn, and they concluded to call on thoj k people to help nominate, as well as elect,! ticket. Frimary elections wero or-1 Aored to ascertain the will of the peopla.!1 r This worked like a charm. The old hunks who had before claimed office bv divine right, were now compelled to go fieforo the voters. Men satisfactory to 'everybody were nominated, and after- j wards tho people put themselves to the I trouble of electing them. This plan M worked well,, but the great Bosses who . ? control tho State again assert their j k authority in the most unniistakoable way. < In the first place a few self-sufficient and j i very wise men arrogate to themselves the | UUUJIJr IW IUI1 tui.t v-?vf? VI (KMbitv, vu vimiigv ? and disrupt old established county lines, . to double our county taxes, to ruu the Legislature, to direct tho Governor in his officials message, and he in turn to rule the Legislature, and then, at last, in j order to prevent the people from < I making a fair expression of their own < _ opinion on matters which are of vital in-' i torest to them, the Bosses would deny i I the necessary tickets, and then dictate !i to us how to vote. And thus it really i seems to us that tho people are to be " . Vheated before they know it. The Bosses, j i or a portion of that crowd, have risen to j that heighlh and imperial dignity that the averago citizen knows not how to humble himself sufficiently to induce, them to inform the public what they are iloins;. If a letter is addressed to an active member of the Executive Committee ho writes a private letter which is not] lnienacu lor puum-auon. n ;i icnor i?| writton to the Chairman of that Committee he writes that lie has "endeavored to 1 liave ballots prepared for eacli and every '' county, in such manner as to enable each voter to express his opinion and wishes freely and fully." But he goes on to 1 .shield the Committee from any failure to perform this promise, by laying the 1 blame on different County Chairmen. As our readers doubtless know the plan of blaming others for our own derelictions was adopted very early in the history of mankind, and it is astonishing .with tho history of the past before us, that we cannot devise a better and more plausible excuse for our short-comings. Tho great and mighty Executive Committee cannot send us a ticket that we may desire, unless ordered by theCounty Chairman. But they can on their own motion, 6end us six thousand tickets! which we do not want. Why did thei Committee, or the Neice and Courier,! pend us twelve thousand tickots on the] Constitutional Amendment in reference | to counties? Do they take us for ballot- j: box stnffers? i There are only three thousand white! voters in this countj', and it is quite like-; I Jy that not more than three-fourths ofji that number will rote. Then why did J< they send six thousand tickets?all in thei j affirmative?on the other quastions ? Do J i they think the negroes aro fools enough 11 to voto tbom ? or did the County i | Chairman order that number? If they j | can send us two, three or four-times as'j many tickets as there are voters, why can 1 they not send a few of them of the kinds j that will most probably be needed? It f can't bo to increase our printing bill. 1 Isn't it then, the clearest case of Bussism ! that has ever been Ssoen in the United IJ '/ ' States? ? ' ? ? ? !' The "party" (of Bosses) aro still J' working with all their power to carry the! 1 proposed amendment as to counties. J They seem to know various good reasons ' for believing that their condition will bo ' bettered by higher taxation, more Sena- ' tors, more Supervisors of Registration, and an increased number of Court HoU?e Bosses. Do our people need more mau- 1 -- agers to live by taxation, iixateud of by j Luauly oell-oAoition ? j ~ : ' The Railroads to he Regulated, anil j Static Rights to be Abolished. Our neigebors in Charleston quietly i kept their IkuhIs in their pockets until! >il! <>uv railroads were sold into the hand*1 of corporations outside the Slate, and J since these roads are not now run in their! interests, they propose to go the Legislature for desired relief. If men can j keep their money in their pockets, and j enact a law which will compel the railroads to serve them, they iiavesaved their money and shall have the benefit of the railroads too. Of course wo know very well that the popular current lias always been against railroad or other corporations and we also know that by saying a | word which may not be in accord with that sentiment that we subject ourselves to impertinent repartees by persons who ntfty have never dared to express an idea winch was not in accord with what they thought popular; but for all this, we leel that it is our riirht and our duty to say a word. Our Legislature, we believe, should not j be too quick to interfere with the proper-' ty which private citizens have bought and 1 paiil lbr. There can be no doubt that! (Georgia, and perhaps other Slates have | gone beyond a just limit in their effort to! control tho business of Railroads. ICj South Carolina our Legislature has al-j ready subjected the railroads to petty annoyances. This aggressiveness on our part will continue until the Congress of the United States and tho Snpieine Court will override the whole ot this kind of Legislation. The fact is, wo pass too many laws, and try to do too much. We already have more laws than are good for j us. The following from the Andersonj Journal seems to bo tho ruling sentiuieut I at present in South Carolina: Railroads must be regulated. Thei tocsin has been sounded all along the j line, and it is evident that the weight of. publi:* opinion throughout the State de-! tyands the passago of such laws by the! next Legislature as will effectually regu-1 late tho grasping and discriminating ten- \ dencies of the railroads in this State.! Some years ago the Journal advocated I the passage of railroad laws similar to those enacted in Georgia, and latterly it | was among the first to cry out against the j exactions of the railroads upon the industries of the country, since which time nearly all the papers in tho State have pronounced in favor of establishing a railroad commission with power to regulate both fieight and passenger tariffs on all tht railroads in this State. (Jov. Perry ou New Counties. Ex-Governor B. F. Perry has written a| letter to tho Greenville Enterprise a?idi Mountaineer in wQlcti no discusses uio i Constitutional Amendments. In reference to the Amendment as to counties he. says: The amendment which proposes to give i the Legislature the power of making a j great many new counties in the State is decidedly objectionable. The exponseofj building new Court Houses, and .jails, having an additional number of clerks and sheriffs, an additional number of juries, solicitors, constables, judges and other public officers, will amount tothonsands and hundreds of thousands of dollars and increase the taxos enormously. But this is not all. Each now county will have to have a Senator. This will give 'the lower country and the negroes entire control of the Senate, which no Democrat or upper country voter should sanction. 1 know it is said that a Democratic Legislature will not do this. But what certainty have wo that the Legislature will always be Democratic? Local influences may be brought to bear on a Democratic Legislature, to divide some of the large counties in the lowor part of the State. We should let well enough alone. The counties, now, are not too large for public convenience. If the Constitutional Amendment should be adopted, thero will be applications for new counties bv the dozen, every depot and cross-road j store will wish "a Court Houso. By all | means, vote against this Amendmont, which will prove a dangerous and most expensive experiment. Our taxes are already sufficiently onerous, and we can not well bear any addition to them. ITas it an Error J It has been alleged that it was an error j to say that "Col. Eugene B. Gary, onrj "County Chairman ordered an equal! "number of affirmative and negative, "tickets on the Constitutional Amend-, "ment as to counties." In juslification of the correctness of, that statement wo givo the words of Col. i Gary's order: "I would like to have the| "tickets for the Constitutional amend-1 "ment as to counties left blank ; or, if! "not convenient to send blank tickets, | "send an equal number of affirmative awtZ] "negative." Any man who understands the plainest j words of the English langnage cannot fail to understand the above, aud there is I no reader of the Press and Banner who, will say that the bill of tickets was filled j as it was ordered. The affirmative tickets' are here, but where are the negative tick- j ets? We regard this forcing of wrong I tickets on us as being in exact accord with the conduct of the Executive Com -! inittec iti their effort to defeat the will of, ?UU jlUOpiU uy Ull'UUlU? I KJ UVW C , shall vote. For Congress. Maj. Thos. II. Russell of Pickons was; nominated lor Congress from tliis Con-! sessional District last week. Twentytwo negroes and two whito men met at Anderson and did the work. Mr. John It. Tolbcrt was a candidato before that convention, but Russell wou the nomina-j Lion. Wo have nothing to say against j Maj. Russell personally. We have no j abuse for him. But wo do say this, that) <ve must re-elect the Hon. D. Wvatt Aiken. All Democrats will vote for him. I His opponent will be supported by the j Radicals. Although we have no noisy j opposition in this county, it Is believed ' that wo will have a solid negro vote to jontend with. We trust that our people may feel sudicient interest in the election to turn out and vote. If there should be j iny who cannot vote for the county nom-1 inees, they should at least vote on the; Constitutional questions, and the State j ? W^rwUL llt'CUS CVCiJ ? vlu? <!? " From " and " With. " I "Say, I differ from, not with."?ATeu>-; berry Jlerald's Report of G. li. Cromer's Address on Spoken English. Good authority on such matters would teach us that it depends entirely upon' iho existing facts, whether a man should i say "I differ from," or "I differ with." j For instance, if A. and B. hold one opin- j ion, and a dozen other gentlemen hold idilierent opinion, then differs with B.? from all the rest. It will thus bo seen that the question of fact must first be decided before it can be determined which; is the correct word. To say that a man : differs with you is to convey the idea thatj ho holds the same opinion which you en- j tertain, but which opinion differs from that which is held by others. But to say that a man differs from j-ou is to say that a'man holds an opinion not in accord with your own. Wo trust that Mr, Cromer may bo induced to publish his address. We should like to read it. Let us be Just. Our citizens living at a great distance from the Court House have just complaint in the fact that they are required to come long distances to attend Court, and are paid so little for their services. Every man who is required toattend Court should lie allowed Two or Three Dollars: Li day. If we would pay jurors and witnesses a just compensation, and theu throw the trivial cases out of the Circuit! Court into the Trial Justice Court, ourj sitizens would have less cause of com-' plaint, and our Court expenses could be; reduced as low as they were in Radical! times. It may not be generally known ;hat the Democratic Courts cost the coun:y more than did the Radical Courts, but iuch is the f&ct. ?- I If the Executive Committee wanted a fair expression of opinion on the Consti-j tutional questions, does anybody sup-! pose that tho necessary tickets would bej withheld? Is it not a part {of the Boss-! ism to deny us tickets? Is this a govern- j inent by the Bosses, und a government, tor the Bosses? The people seem to! liave nothing to do but to vote a jBoss j ticket, and hereafter pay double the pre-, lent county taxes. The Bo uses will do the rest. Earlier in tho campaign, it was th'-ii^ht tlutt Greenwood would get the aow Court House, if 01 e was established, 1 jut it is now pretty well settled that Sinoty-SLai is to ?et it, j -v ' / - - SENATOR WADE HAMPTON. The Man Who Led Us to a Glorious Victory in Seventy-Six Makes a Patriotic Speech at Chcraw. I am no! sorry that I urn here In Chesterfield county tor t*.vo reasons. Tim Hist one Is because J iinVK seen an occasional i)>irn<:rnj>h In llic newspapers thai this GrceiihacUer, or this , Itudical, or ttils hl?h-bifa mongrel, has utilised Hampton. If there Is one thing in my record | that deserves abuse I can look the men ofj rjouth Carolina in the faee and ask them to! l>u: h tinker on it, and 11 any one here t'?-day would do so I would say U> his face that he | had filial lied himself. I can stand here under this glorious sunlight, on Uu> soil which gave mo birth, hero among those people whe re ail my life has been passed, and say that I have served my state, in e\ery post to which ( ha vp Ik en called, to the host of my ability, .md if I had served iny t.iod with half the zeal I have my State my hopesofthe Hereafter| would lie more secure. That J have made I mistakes there Is no one more willing to admit, but "to err is human, to forgive divine," and I coine t; the; people who have honored me far, far more than I have deserved, to say that the only poie star by which I have been j guided lias been the pole star of my duly to! them. I come to you now to try and give j you 8.>mc advice, lam not and never shall | uea candidate for any otlice. ,Mv public ca-1 reer will soon come to a close, and what 1 say [ to you is not Irom any Interested motive, but j simply for the good of the people of South Carolina. It was my uood fortune, my proud ' fortune, to be chosen in Is7ti to lead the Dem-j oeiatic hosts of this State to victory. I would i not have been competent lor that struggle but for the help of the men and women of the State. I tx?k the banner which you placed in my hands by (iod's blessing, after bearing it aloft from the mountains to thesea. I planted it upon the State-House in Colnnilda, where it continues to wave in triumph. Jt is f ir you to say whether you will see that proud j banner torn down, placed in the hands of the j thieves, vagabonds and traitors who are plot- I ting for its capture, and dragged in the mire. If you should be willing to sutler such tin outrage the women ol the land will drive you out with their broomsticks in disgrace. I tell you that dangek does threaten us. I ain not an alarmist. All the Interests lor which we contended In <(i are aijaln in Jeopardy, and while there is strength in my arm and whlie the blood llows through my heart the people of South Carolina shall nut call on me und 1 not come to their call. There Is danger. What Ik It? ThoRepublican party! No, I will not. call It such. There is no Republican party in South Carolina as the Republican party is known In the Northern States. In the North the two great political parties are about equally divided In virtue, Intelligence* and property, one having about as much as t tie other, and on local questions it makes but little difference whether the Democrats or the Republicans gain the ascendency. There is nothing of this sort ih South Carolina. Here the lines are as sharply drawn as possible. On one ulilo 1 here are arrayed the intelligence, ihe virtue, the property "of the State; on the other, ignorance, superstition and vice. Of course I speak in general terms. The only definition I can give of a carpet-bagger is that he Is a thief. I welcome every honest Northern man who conies here, but no honest Northern man can come here and live amongst us six months without voting the Democratic ticket. In the Northern suites where the administration of the State governments have become corrupt and where forgery and traud prevail it is possible for an honest man to become an Independent, but in South Carolina there are but two parteis?the Democratic, represented by those who saved the State In 1S76, and the Radical party, who aro now trying to obtain control of ttie Kovernment. We must hold on to our possession of the State. There Is no middle ground. As I Raid in ISTti, 1878 and in 18SU, I say again In 18SL', that the man who 1h not with us is against lis. 1Yo man can be an Independent here unlcx.i he claims thai (he whole people are wrong and he is a better man than ; the candidates thry lutve regularly aud fairly\ ctefii. I want to warn you against IndeI pendents. #!OAT> A nVTPP I If the Democrats liuve made mistaken, rcc' tlfy thein within the party. [The reader | will observe that the iVcwi and Bunnir i.us i the highest authority for criticising the Bossj p? iu the management of the new county I movement. For our part we cannot see why the cost of new counties Is not taken Into j consideration, when we are claiming so much credit for retrenchment and reform. When our people vole a Boss ticket they propose to , add a third to their taxes for all time to come. i The man who pays ten dollurs taxes now will ' have to pay about thirteen or fourteen dollars I after we get our new counties. [This is the I only safe, the only wise, the only patriotic j course. I regret that the Stock law was passed at the time and in the way It was passed, j although I believe It is one of the best laws i ever enacted. Kvery acre of fenced land in i the State costs ii. and the fences iu South I Carolina cost S?l,OUO,OiJO. I believe that when the .stock law is fairly tried, every one will j sec its wisdom and economy; but without : meaning to retlect 011 the wisdom or the patriotism of any member of the Legislature, I ; believe it would have been better had they i not required Colleton, Beaufort, Berkeley, Chesterfield, and one or two other counties, to I come under the provisions of the law Immediately. Because, however, I hold these views j I would certainly not be foolish enough to go into the Radical party. Choose the best men lor the Legislature you cun, and do as they did in Barnwell county, where the Stock law and the anti-Stock law men placed their candidates in the Held and sum it led to the result (of the primary election. The anti-stock law men were defeated, but they did not mope ntioiiL and lius* the Kadiuil nurtv to their bosoms. They acknowledged tliut they had been fairly beaten, and at once wheeled Into line and are now marcing straight forward with the Democratic hosts. If jou should be; dissatisfied with such a settlement of diliiculty send a memorial to the Legislature and yet ttie law modified. This ie the true Democratic method of proceeding. Then as to the Registration law. The Constitution requires that there shall be a Registration law. The Constitution says that there must be, and If the people are dissatisfied with it they should send men to the Legislature who will have a Constitutional Amendment submitted to the people providing for the repeal of the section of the Constitution which requires such a law. A VOllD AIJOL'T RINGS. I go for (he people of South Carolina taking everything Into their own hands and controlling the stuto Government in all its departments. The people ol South Carolina are free and Independent, and choose any man they please tu represent them. I have henrda great deal of talk about Rings. If there are Rings I have never seen them, and if there are, the poeple of the Stute are strong enough to crush them as I could crush an egg shell In my hand. These are the only two things?the Stock law and the Registration law?tliut have given trouble, and i appeal to you as sensible men, would you be willing to remand the State to the control of those who formerly debauched the public service in every department and biought ruin aud disgrace upon you ? Senator Hampton here quoted some very sglnlticant llgures showing the difference in the salaries paid in Radical anil in Democratic times, iu six years of Radical rule the uiiinnnl miirl rnlt in vilnpioc uiw VI 'JJ'I 'Jfm ou against $117,000 paid out by the DemocrSIs in a like period. The total cost of six years ol Radical ruieumouuted to $10,514,600, as against ${,000,000 during six years of Democratic control?a saving of $7,514,000 by the Democrats in six years. This is au argument that not only appeals to every man's conscience but also to his pocket. |For this reason we are sorry that we find no reference by hlni to t tie action of I tic Bosses in withholding the tickets which are necessary to an honest, lair election on a question or such Importance as the formation of new counties. If the new county movement Is successful it will add three and a half mills to all the taxable properly of the State, aggregating a draft ou the Industry* of the county of more than half milliou doilars.j Continuing the speaker said: If you want Home Kule and good government I advise you to nominate your best men?Democrats, and let your right arms drop off before you vote for a (ireon backer, a Radical or an 1 ndopendent. 1 have seen occasionally loose paragraphs that some man said so and so with reference to me. Whenever my public acts come up legitimately before the people of South Carolina they have the right to criticise them ; but I have also seen occasional personal attacks on me. I pass them by with the silent contempt which they merit. I would not let u.yseif down to THE LEVEL OK A BLACKGUARD. A gentleman would not Insult me?a blackguard could not. I leave my vindication with the people of South Carolina. They have trusted and honored me far more than J have asked or deserved, and although they have given uio every otlice tliev could, I would not give the place I hold in their hearts for all tiie honors and principalities in the world. I trust them to vindicate me. I feel assured that the poisonous seed which have been so insidiously disseminated will not germinate in their hearts, and their tongues will never reiterate the calumnies which have been pronounced. I merely got up to thank you for the greeting you nave given me and to appeal to you to stand fast in the future as you have in the past to maintain the prosperity, the peace and the freedom of the whole people of our State. Uen. Hampton's speeeh was received wllb unbounded enthusiasm and made a most excellent impression. ? The Constitutional Amendments. | Camden Journal. | Wo are surprised to learn that so few of our citizens are aware of the fact that there are three important amendments to our Stato Constitution to bo voted upon at the election which comes oil' on November 7th. But few of the people of the State have had anything to say upon the matter, and we deem them of too much importance to pass them over without bringing the matter clearly before the people. First comes the amendment as to the disfranchisement of every person convicted of an infamous crime?prevents the perjurer, the robber, the burner, tho violator of womanly honor, and the thief from killing the vote of ati honest man with liis tainted ballot. Every honest man in the State should do his utmost to have this article passed. Vote "Yes" every time, and get every one else to vote "Yes." It is no credit to any government to allow a thief and penitentiary convict's vote to weigh as much in the balance as the best citizen in the land. The next is an amendment to reduce the limit ot size of comities, "and give the people of any section witli enough territory and population the power to form a new county for themselves. Upon this question we would say vote "No" every time. We are not in a condition at present to build new Court Houses, Jails, etc. Our taxes are already heavy enough. Again, the number of representatives and county otlicials is already too large, and an amendment of this character would increaso both the number of Representatives and county oflicials, thereby increasing taxation.

Attheext.ru session of the Legislature, In July last,? Joint resolution wus passed proposing im amendment to auction third article : li oi'ttie Cons'.uiioii of the Stat", which relutes to til--creation new Counties. The pur* post; of uiik amendment Is to i neonntiie the lOt'iiiHtIon of new Counties, and it is currently reported Unit the Stale Executive Committee have decided to furnish Melee Li 10 only ihoso who desire to vote iu the ulMrinalive, unless otherwise ordered by the County Chairmen of each County. Jt is supposed that the tickets will read, "Constitutional Amendment as to the formation of new Counties? IV*." If the State Executive I oniniltiee members have been properly represented, they have shown that tlicy are going out of their way to eneouregoau evil which a large majority ol South Carolina tax payers are opposed to, and will receive that condemnation which tlieit conduct merits. Any one-sided expression at the ballot box resulting from a coiklmj up pros-ess, designed l>y iiioi^xeciiiivoviiiiiiiiinvu in behalf of theoHlceKcekersand thcirfrlends throughout Iho State, will certainly result In untold lujuryJo tin* only party which now Insures to us'all peacc and prosperity. This new County dodge for crwiling ntoro oflices and heaping additional taxes upon our people will bo made to mature by the fudging of the Stale Kcecutive Committee, if the eyes of our voters are not opened before the election comes olf; so we deem it our duty to warn them of the (Tite which awaits our County boundaries lu case they are not posted when It comes to voting on this Constitutional question. Now in ea.-e our County is Hooded with the tickets containing the word "Yes," let every man erase it and Insert the Word" No." Yes means to cut the County into as many parts as office-seekers see fit to cut within the bounds of law?so! many square miles, Ac. No means that it shall not be cut, or In any way divided. Our County Chairman occupies a placo however, where lie understands tin; sentiment of our people,- and In consequence we believe will order such tickets for our people as conforms to that sentiment of our people, antl in consequence we believe will order such tickets for our people as conforms to that sentiment. So pronounced is the opposition hero to tie formation of oew Counties, that not the llrst Candidate in. our recent primary elections dared to express himself In terms which in th'e least favored tills new scheme of creating offices anil Increasing taxes by lii? formation of new Counties. It is?, very good ruloto let well enough alone, though It seems that the result of too much DrogreSH on the part of politicians in this State for the past two years, has hail little or no olivet on those who are now recognised as planners and leadors of the Democratic party. Sufficient unio the day Is the evil thereof. Header, when you go to put your iVeket In tie ballot box in November, if you wish to protect yourCounly boundaries and keep dowu additiona taxes, see that yonr tickets rend "No," on the new County question, for If you makt?a blunder and the County Is divided, you will be responsible to tliatj degree for making your own burdens more burdensome. *<t>+ "Warnings ok Frost.?Oen.

"My eolored friends, let me tell you. that so long as gra?s grows upon the soil of old South Carolina, as In the past so will It be In the future, the intelligence and wealth of the State will control." These are the words of I). J. Carter, Esq., of the Lancaster Ledger-, in his address at the Independent Greenback nt Lancaster on the 27th ult., which so Incensed the negroes that they not only offered violence to .Mr. Carter but. Instignatcd a terrific riot In which four of their number were killed and several wounded. This is a snd record, and as suggestive as sad, Mr. Carter's sentiments represent thesoher common seu?e of the world. Wherever men think at all, they must think Just as he docs. And the unthinking rabt>le throw themselves against such a sentiment, in their perverse heedlessness only to be bruised and broken.?Southern ChrLttinn Advocate. ffSff wrnm LLLi iiu.i mum, Abbeville, Oct. 21,1972.
