July 4, 1878. ?jANDIDATES and their Friends will remember that Res olutions or Communications en dorsing particular individuals must be paid for, an d in trans mitting fliem to us by mail, or (ihenvise, do not forget this all important prerequisite. .The Washington Post says that Senator Butler has quietly, but success fully, labored for the advancement of the material interests of South Carolina during the present session of Congress An approp ition of $200,000 for the improvement of Charleston harbor, $20,000 for the erection of a light house on Paris Island, $.>,000 for the improve ment of the navigation of the Peo Dee River, and the restoration to the State ol the Charleston citadel-the military col lege of South Carolina-together* with the refunding of $1,500 import duties on the historic St. Michael's chime ot bells, are referred to by his friends with pride as being more than has been accomplish ed for that State ia the past fifty y-ars. State Sunday School Convention. This body will meet in tho city ol (J reen ville on Wednesday aud Thursday, the 21st and 22nd of August. Thc Coun ty Chairmen will attend to the appoint ing of delegates as soon as praef 'de< Should there be any counties in \\?.ich the Chairmen do not act, we would re quest the Sunday School Superinten dents living at the Court Houses to ap point delegates. It is very desirable that every county be represented. Tho local committee of arrangements and the terms offered by railroads to visitors will be published io duo time. CHRLES PETTY, Chair. Ex. Com. Failure of a Grange Enterprise. The last number of the Warrenton Clipper contained the following item : "The Planters Union Agenoy, of Au gusta, ha? failed. Two of our oltljsens are heavy loaew Mr. William Hart lost 41 halos of cotton." A Chronicle reporter called upon offi pers of the Agency yesterday, and learn ed that its affairs were embarrassed on account of advances made to planters, apd of tl}p fajlure of many of the sub scribers to tho stock of tho corpoiation tp pay up their subscriptions. The total ii um ber of shares is 1,512, of which the par value is ten dollars each. About (100 shares havo been paid up The Agency ?1 wes about $3,000, the principal part ol which, or about $1,800 is due to Mr. William Hart, of Warren county. About f/5C0 is duo Mr Neal, of the same coun*y. Thc Agency owes several other parties nmouuts from $10? to $250. The officers here arc confident that when the Iii rec tors lu dd a meeting, which will be soon, means will be devised to ?iay oil' the in debtedness at once Thc Agency was established in November, 1874, by the Grangers. We understand that thc rates J_charged for storing and selling cotton have been so low that tho receipts have been insufficient to meet expenses. It ls possible that a Receiver may bc 13p poiuted to tako charge ol' thc Agency, und enforce the payment of tho unpaid f BDSCripliona to the Stock-Chronicle ct* Constitutionalist of Saturday. CHARLESTON'S INTERIOR CON NECTIONS. The Aiken correspondent of th? New? and Courier, himself a Charlestonian, presonts in forcible knguage the neces sity of activity on the part of Charleston, with tho object of retaining and aug inentiug our trade with the interior. The railroad from Edgefield to Pine ] touso (now Trenton) will certainly be built, and a railroad from Edgefield lo Aiken i- looked for in thc near finnie l'Inirleatoli'* iii'.oresi i? in the c -I!neel! n willi Edgefield and the exteu iou t> Green wotal. Our correspondent y i \ i s clearly his reasons for believing that il must be tu thu advantage of Charleston to control thc business of JSdgetleid, Ab beville and Anderson, which will ho di verted from her, by the present Augusta nm! ft reen wood Railroad, lo MI van uah, Port lt ?yal or Wilmington if she md HOI place herself promptly in p.udi|..|i to command the situation, lt is not now a choice bel wet n bringing business io Charleston by ono or other id'two routes but between securing die business ann losing it. Krui? Aiken ibo persons in terested in l'->r . ltoyul am readily make a connection wiih ibo lVrt (loyal Hail road. Snarl.*, ti burg will be lapped by a proposed extension of the Augusta ami Greenwood Railroad. Charleston bas at stake, therefore, bol h Khe H ad?' ol' the fertile country along tho Savannah Riv er, and the trude expected from the West When tho Spartan burg and Asheville Railroad shall have made connection with ihe Tennessee roads. Tho subject ls One that demands seriou Qnd carlj' c insideration, for Char.eston bas to all appearance, an opportunity to ob aili at a small cost, the control ot large and profitable business. No Urge expenditure is needed, as is explained by our correspondent. With little effort and no risk worth naming, the prize can be won. The Inscriptions on the Augusta Con federate JUouameut. The Ladies' Memorial Association have decided to place the following inscriptions on the Monument, one on a tablet on each side of the shaft : "Erected by the Ladies' Memorial Asso ciation of Augusta, A.

Sams, now of Spai tanbnrg, but formerly so well and favorably known among us, has been appointed Deputy Grand Dictator for the purpose of instituting Subordinate Lodges of tho Knights of Honor within the bound jrics of South Carolina. And lor tins pur rose, Mr. Sams will visit Edgefield on or about the 11th or 12th instant. Having been requested at the last mo ment to make this notice, we have time now only to state very brietly the objects of this noble and rapidly growing order : 1st, To unite fraternally all acceptable meu of every profession, business or oc cupation. 2nd, To give all moral and material aid in its power to members of the order, by holding moral, instruction and scien tific lectures, by encourt-gins each other in business, and by assisting one anoth . er to obtain employment. 3rd, To establish a Benefit Fund, from which a sum notoxcoeding S20?0, shall be paid at the death of a member, to his family, or to bc disposed of as ho may dir?; ct 4th, To establish a fund for the relic! of sick ?V distressed mein hers. - - ? i .Qi ?- . - For the Advertiser. Come up, Gentlemen, and Toe the Mark. MESSRS. EDITORS:-Inasmuch as there are a host of candidates in the field, and but few to be olected, I wish to propound a fow questions to them. And the pub lic demands them to answer. The voters in the coming campaign ask them to respond. Tho good of the country re quires that a strict adherence be had, and properly answered. As voters in the primary election, we will not, nor cauuot, support, any candidate for tho e Legislature who refuses to answer explicitly the questions that may follow, viz: 1st. Are you In favor of th? Democratic plan of ejection, I mean by Primary; and havo you declared ymrsrlvex candi dates, or did thc pt>n}?lc bring yo\\ out? 2ud. Are you in favor of reduoing- the pay of Representatives from five dollars per day to three? If so, speak out! 3J. Are you willing to loso all lost time without pay, during tho sitting ol tho Legislature? 4th. Arc you willing that Hie jurors whoarecouipellod by law to attend ?.-ottrt, shall get three dollars per day f<r their services; and that the State witnesses whoarobound over toe ?urt, shrill receive one dollar and fifty cents ju r day? ">th. Will you, if elected, do all you can in tho Legislature to br ng about these important changes? There are oihor questions, (d' minor importance, that might be asked just here, but wc deem them unnecessary a' this time. The ones wo allude to must be answered and fully endorsed, either in thc affirmative or in the negative. I am confident that I express the wish and desire of a majority of the white voters in thc coming election. I cannot exactly understand why it is there are so many aspirants for office, j unless it is in hope of great gain. Before the war men were elected to Ibo Legisla tur? In/ merit, and they went llieru for the sake of honor and not of gain. I would also remark that we wish not m ?re than one lawyer in our Legislative body from each County. Too interest of the people is to be equally divided, in representation. The myority being farmers, let us send farmers to enact our laws You may be sure thal il you fail to look af Uti' your own interest, noone'else will d >itf ?ryon. In conclusion let us adopt tho plan of Gov. Hampton : That is, to send our In-.-t men to thc Legislature.

' fr MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Rair.ey, Hie colored Congressman froid South Carolina, has assured a Tribune correspondent of the ability of the Repub licans to carry three of ilie five Congres sional Districts of that State, il* not pre vented by fraud and intimidation. There will be neither the one nor the other, and the Democrats will certainly carry every district but one. They may carry the Charleston District also, but loo many fusionists and doughfaces may cause de feat in that Quarter. The Uiclnuo'.id J)itj>it!<:h says a person who was present and witnessed the scene, says that on Thursday last, when Cen. Joe Johnston was upon the floor of thc United States Senate by invitation ol a Senator, the scene in that grave b"dy was almost like a levee. Senators from all parts of thc United Slates came up to bo introduced to him and to shake his band. "Not once in a generation is such a scene witnessed. Business was almost suspended. The New York Tribune says : In view of the exposition of bribery and corrup tion in thc election of Patterson, of Sont ti Carolina, to the United States Senate, the Senate not only disgraces itself and the country by allowing him to retain h s seat, but "a'so robs Ihe penitentiary ol South Carolina of one of the most distin guished personages entitled to its hospi tality. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Journal of Commerce thinks the Democratic Presidential ticket in 1SS0 will be Thurman and Cordon, lt is al most a foregone conclusion that the second place will be given to the South, and no one would lill tbe bill belter than the sol dier Senator from Ceorgia. The L'nile? States Se?ale has refused by a tie vote to restore the franking priv ilege, so far as relates lo letters. Speeches and public documents go free. Hon. IT. A. Herbert, member of Con gress, from Alabama, and Hon. Edward Hooker, member of Congress, from Mis sissippi, are both natives of Laurens Dis trict South Carolina. --. THE SOUTH CAROLINA SOCIE TY'S BARBECUE. The South Carolina Society and a num ber of ?nv ted guests had quito a merry lime up the canal yesterday. The usual mel hods of making the day pass pleas antly were freely resorted to, and, about, .i o'clock, p. m., a grand barbecue dinner, under thc supervision of Mr. P. Promrose, was served. At the close of the meal, Mr. W. M. Dunbar, in the absence of President Gary, read out some regular toasts which were responded lo in the fol lowing order : 1. The Day We Celebrate-Hon. Rob ert Aldi ich. of Barnwell, S. C. 12 Our Mi ther Slate-Mr. F. W. Ca pers 3. Our Adopted Slate-Captain C E. Collin. 4. The Press-Mr. J. It. Randall. 5 The Women of the South-Hon. Patrick Walsh. Mr. Aldrich's response was very beau tiful and eloquent. His (omplimentary allusions to Georgia and South Carolinu were received with hearty applause. The respousps of Messrs. Capers and Coffin were in excellent taste and most happily delivered: Qn the return, trip Ike ,f Augusta Rales" injured her propeller by striking a snag. All who participated in this excursion will remember it moil gratefully. Capt. Land and his committee condun ed every thing in first-class order, and it is to the credit of the chivalric South Carolinians who have made Georgia their home, that they have had a festival quite equal lo any I hin?; of the kind in our annals, wi; h nothing lo mar its features in '.he s!ig test degree.-Chronicle and Con slit uliaralisl.

He cannot want to sec the lady in the case, for she, too, has left town. Mrs. Welcker can scarcely be said to have brought Acklen back to the scene i-f h s disgrace, for she has done all she could to throw discredit upon the whole story by ' publishing a card denying that such u scene ever occurred in ber house, and also us^ertin^ that there were no ladies in her house on thc; evening in question.
