1'he Press and Banner. A1JUKVILLE, S.C. ^Vsdnssday, Aug:. 13, 1884. The rrlmnrj^Electlon. j| *NVo publish clscwhero th-o official re-11 port of the primary elrctitfn, which wasl1 held last Saturday. Hie vote, 2,8W?, is J J the largest which has ev^r licen cast at ?ny similar election if* ?h^s 'county, and < tbo good feeling which prevailed has ' never been cqealTed. As far as we have ( hoard, there is no dissatisfaction among j the people, at either the conduct of the ; campaign, or the result. The Clerk, of J tlio Court-, the Sheriff the Auditor, the , Treasnrer, the Probate Judge, have ?*ch l teen re-elected, while men equally as good have been defeated. Messrs. liradley, Hemphill, Graydon and Parker have received nomination for the House of Representatives, while fully as able ji and as patriotic citizens were not so for- J tnnatc in the race. Messrs. Hlako and i Connor still stand before the people for the fifth place on the ticket for the House of Representatives, while the other candidates are ruled off the track, not be- ( cause of any inferiority or lack of abilit}*, but because it was impossible to elect , eleven men to five places. The peoplo will decide next Saturday Whether Mr. George 0. Hodges or Mr. E. Cowan is to be the next School Commissioner. Messrs. Hester and Penney yield their claims for that oflice with grace , and equanimity. Messrs. W. T. Cowan, William Riley, , t. Y. Sheppard, John R. Bullock, W. D. ( Mann, Jas. A. McCord, stand first on the list of contestants for the three County , Commissioners. Men ot equal merit are withdrawn from this contest because , they received not quite so many voteshot bocause of a lack of the desirable , qualities which go to make a good officer. Messrs. C. D. Alleu and Jas. A. Shilllto will make the second race for the office of Coroner, while the otter candi- , iIAtes for that office, yield gracefully to the verdict of the people. The audience received the official vote with marked respect for those who 3iad been defeated. It was not a time for hilarity or noisy demonstration. The contest had been one between neighbors and friends among whom no illfeeling or jealousy had existed. The race bad been entered and conducted throughout in generous rivalry, and the result has left no wounds other than ihat which defeat or disappointment is sure to bring to every heart. While the old dlsvi9ions among oui i folks may have had some effect on the , Vote of the people at some of tho boxes, yet a better feeling prevails in both factions throughout the county than at any timo since the division, and it is to be ' hoped that each succeeding election may be as honorably conducted as this one ' has been. , The officers and Representatives which ^Cve have chosen will be fully up to the re- i <quireraents of the highest demands, and J the public will have nothing to fear from i & choice next Saturday! between any ol 1 the contesting candidates. Any of them will reflect credit upon themselves and | us in the discharge of their duties. "tjafrleadly to Our Congressman. j The News and Courier seems to act as i guardian and adviser for all ot our Con- J gressmen, and it appears that Col. Aiken is the special object of its dislike. Asa ] consequence, that paper has been consist- ' ent at all times in its unkindly criticisms i of him?whether he was at Washington j iu the discharge pf his duties, or in a < Campaign before the voters of his Dis- ( trict. Last week while Col. Aiken was < receiving the congratulations of his ' ifrionds, and the kindly assurances of ' support from those who had so recently contested his election, the News and j Courier voluntarily thrusts at him a bun- ; die of nettles, while showing a disposi- } tion to injure him in the estimation of t his constituents. This act of the News \ and Courier would seem to be in accord ? with its well-established character for ] keeping a dart in store for every man 1 whose enemies, it may thiuk, "hath com- 1 passed him round." , The News and Courier seems ready at < a moment's notice to dismiss a Congress- , man, to read a good man out of the Dem- ocratic party, or to bear down upon any man against whom it may believe the ] tide of public favor has been turned. , That paper is now simply mistakeu as to ' the popularity of Colonel Aiken. Col. i Aiken stands well with bis constituents, and as long as he is as faithful to them, \ the News and Courier will hurt it- j Self by assailing him. That paper cannot deny that Col. Aiken stands in Washington the equal of any Congressman j from South Carolina. Ilispositions there on the committees are not inferior to the | positions held by any other Congressman from this State. Col, Aiken has opened nearly all of the existing mail routes in this Congressional n.ot.lnt hn ia nr*-AminfM]tl V the tu l/IOVI IW) MMV? MV ? ? servant of the people. If the humblest *nan in his district should make a request of him hegivosthat request his immediate attention, and we believe this caniiot be said of any other CongressmanNo man's letter remains unanswered, and no man's request Is neglected by him. and he would no sooner confer a favor upon the most prominent citizen of Charleston than he would upon the humblest man in the most remote corner the mountains. A disposition like this, as a matter of course, is not pleasing to :=?*Mie who might wish to excrcise autocratWhen the Mexican volunteers wenTS' Washington in the hope of securing favorable legislation, he was the only Representative from South Carolina who cared to recognize these old veterans, an J he was the only man of the whole delegation who paid them even the least attention. It may be said that these little attentions to our citizens is not statesmanship Granted; but it is the kind of service* that bind a public man to the people, and we venture that no man has been more attentive than Colonel Aiken, and that there is not a man in the Congressional District wbo will serve them as attentively. Col. Aiken may not be a great leader at Washington. But who in this j Congressional District will assume that 1-ole? No man from the South, owing to Northern prejudice, need expect soon to become a great leader at Washington. ? A Campaign of Dirt. The Democratic party on the nomination of Blaine as the Republican standard onmrmitrn Innii- ! WOJCI III buv pi wiuv?v*?. w...( 0"7 garated a system of personal abuse, and ! it now seems that the gage 0f battle has j been accepted by the Republicans, and our immaculate Cleveland has got his skirts muoh bespattered. Upon the whole the "honors" as to record are about oven, and we think it time for each party to begin to think more of some policy or principle which may benefit the country more than that of pursuing a course of defamamatiou. We have always regretted anything like personal abuse, and have long urged that the Democratic party should! adopt ?ome definite and pronounced prin-1 ciple whereby the country may be bene- J fitted. Blaine in his letter of acceptance, i gave utterance, we presume, to the key ' note of the campaign on their side ;'and j in that letter there was no vituper-1 ] ationor senseless abuse of any body. The 1 lack of the virtues on the part of the Ro- , publicans will never insure our election unless we can show that we are possessed of at least some of the desirable qualities, j I If the radicals are as wicked as the news-1 papers claim them to be, let us convince, tfce world that our principles are hotter; ihau theirs?not that they are worse than ?ve are. If the system of blackguarding the: Presidential nominees of both parties is in bo continued, we are of the opinion j| ?hat Hampton's opposition to Cleveland as well founded- j i >la. Titos. c.

The proceedings of the Nominating Convention which met at Seneca last week will be found quite interesting. The opposition to Col. Aiken was not so real ait was apparent. The opposition to his re-election did not come so ttimrh from his constituents, iis it did from the commendable ambition of certain gentlemen to till th? place. Local pride and personid attachment carried to each of these gentlemen the delegates from their respectiyes counties, and the Vote of live Jelegates from Oconee against Col. Aiken was secured by a very small majority in the County Convention. Whether these same gentlemen, or uthcrs will opposo Col. Aiken two years hence, remains to be seen.

P. DeBruhl, Secretary. Water and Ferer. Augusta Chronicle. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution who is evidently expert, declares that water drawn from our Southern rlvtrs Is never so wholesome as when a littie muddy. Jle says: "The earth Is nature's great disinfectant and purifier. This seems odd. It Is true, Our Northern frleuds ridicule our ow n yellow water aid yet by actual analysis the turbid water of the Potomac Ispurcr than the sparkling Cochltuate. it Is a well known fact that the Savannah steamers store the river water for the round trip In preference to the celebrated ('roton. and many families in Chicago do not drink the clear water of the Michigan." We know for cerUiln that many of the healthiest Creole families ol Louisiana drink the muddy Mississippi water in perference to the other. They never filter it. The same correspondent stys ; "No wonder our young men coming home hot from their daily toil and drinking freely of the cool and sparkllnp, butstrngnant and hurtful well water have fever, the well perhaps wlthlu a few feet ol the closest an .i carefully excluded from the fresh air. In 1SG7 choieia carried off 167,0W Italians. Elaborate Investigation by the government traccd the cause to impure well water. It Is altogether pos-slble that this awful scourg'j will visit America this year, and It becomes us at least not to invite ltspersence. Oh, lor the old fashioned we'l sweeps!" We are told Just across the river, there were, In one lamily, two faUil cases of typhoid fever, and I he desperate and long-protracted illness t'i thp father of the household. A tardy ex animation of the well water used by thcni cleared up the mystery of the malady. It was polluted by proximity to the stable lot. In some of the healthiest country regions of the South, typholdjfever and diphtheria prevail, from the same causes. It is satisfactory to be assured by competent authority that our Savannah river water, though muddy. Is wholesome. We should prefer a clearer water for bathing purposes, but ourity and hcalthfulni'KS are the first essentials. People who drink well water, in country or city, should be assured that It 1 unpobuted. It may beas clear ns crystal bu full of organic contamination. It in ay be coo as Ice, but deadly or dangerous. It is astonlsbine to see how well a man can live on c small income, who hriB n handy and industrious wife. Some men live and make a iar Letter appeal ance on tlx or eight dollars a week than otheis do on fifteen or eighteen. Tne man does his part well, but bis wife is good for nothiug. She will e>en upbraid h- r husband for not living in jib good style as h> r neighbor, while the fault is entirely her own. Ill* neighbor ban a neat, capable and industrious wife, and that makes the difference. 80 look out young men. before you go into matrimony, for it is a lottery In wblcb most men can bold but one ticket, and If that turns out a blank your whole life bad belter bo a blank too.

W. C. BJENET, Chairman. Are Officers AboTC Criticism? we fpar so. There I* nn Idle fable that ofliciais. both State and County, are public servants, and the peopie are soverelngs; but that Is all pure fancy. a. ii i'jca In nr>lnt. wo refer to the fact that tlio Tempcruncc Worker, some time ago criticised theotflelal managemen t oftlie suite .Super intendeul of Education,and charged that gentleman with neglecting the duties of his o trice. A number or gallant defenders leaped Into the ring, and attacked the Worker urticle, not tecause It was untrue, but?we suppose?because it was presumptuous. One says that Col. Coward is capable, another that he is good teacher, another that lie is as good an oillcial as his piedecssor, and so on. Now why dodge around the question in thnt way? If Col. Coward does his duty as State Supenintcndent, If ho vislis tne Counties, looks up the educational iuterost in all part* of the State, urges on the Commissioners and teachers by his presence to more earnest work, and discharges the important trusts of that responsible office, then say so; but if, on the contrary, his time Is token up with the sehool at Yorkvllle, and tiis work Is all done by thecleik In hisofttce ntColumbla.ahd that the only benetit the school system receives from him as Stale Superintendent isthe prestige of liis name, then admit It and answer iiis assailant with the simple assertion thnt It lu mi imiit-rt I NIMII'H lor a tu*wsim tier to irrlt.lHsM : ii stale olliclal. Wo are notKilHclently posted to take part i n | the charges against the Superintendent. He may be most efllolentin tils work, but none! of his superservieeable friends huve said so. I but mainly rest their defence upon impugn-: Ing tlie motives of the U'orAcr. One defender gravely asserts that ifany one j objected to Col. Coward, he should have said < so before the nomination. That unsophlstl-1 cated pariy of course was not aware of the; fact that Ihf majority of delegates sent to the June convention were Instructed against June nominations, and save u few who were In the secret the people did not suppose that a large j number of those delegates would surrender their wills ut terly Into the keeping of a few i leading spirits who wished the nomination i made then for reasons of their own. No, the j people did not suppose nomination would bo made then ami saw no need of antagonizing j, an v one at that early day. j And what wesay as to theopposltion shown in criticising "State olQclals cun be also said in i reference to County odices. A man. ex-j, cept for conscientious reasons, has butlitllo , inducement to be a good otllcer. The happy- : uo-lueky style 01 many is condoned most read- j ily, and any charge of inefficiency Is looked | upon an the outcome of personal spleen and is resented accordingly. We believe that oliJcers should be held to a 1 riiild responsibility for the pcrtormance of their duties, and that It Is the Prerogative of of the people to note and criticise all cases ol J failure. Our fealty to party do<a not require ' us to blind our eyes to neglect of official duty; and if It hurls the party to have unfaithful public servants pointed out.somuch the worse 1 for the party for appointing such men to office.
