Ir ^ remember aright, there were, at the close of the last campaign, and for some time after, thirty-one regularly organized Dem ocratic clubs in our County The Chair men of these clubs make up the County Executive Committee. Aud it is earn estly hoped that each club will be repre sented in the meeting of Saturday. Il* the clubs are lukewarm and negligent in the beg?UU?U>?. thv.v ounnot i-oMnonwbly coinplain afterwards thai things have not gone to suit them. There are divers mat ters and measures ot the highest impor tance to be considered on this occasion, and no section of Edgefield should allow itself to be unrepresented And in this connection, we would cali attention to the circular letter, published in another column, from Gen. John D. Kennedy, the Chairman of tbeState Dem ocratic Executive Committee, thc sum and substance of which is, that the State Committee, in view of the difference Of opinion which undoubtedly exists upon the subject, desire that the Democratic masses, by their representatives in tho Convention, shall determine whether the nomination of the State ticket can best be made iu June, or at some subsequent time. The .""tate Couveution. Senator M. C. Butler, in a letter toa gentleman in Chester, quoted by the Bulletin, objects to an earl}' State uomi. nttion. In his opinion it would remove some of the enthusiasm from the canvass f and give an opportunity to soreheads and independents to make a fight if they be SD disposed. We do not believe any one will beso unpatriotic or so insane as to head an independent movement, or it there be any such that he will command any following. Our chief objection lies in this, that while a few parties have been interesting themselves tn politics, the masses have been attending to other matters, taking no thought as yet of the nominations to be made. Between this time and the lirst of June they will lie too busy with their crops to think seri ously of other matters, and it is not do ing them justice cr conducive of the best interests of the Democratic party toe?u - pel a selection of candidates before the whole field is carefully examined. [ Winnsboro News. To l?e Hanged tor Killing A Negro. At the late term of Court in Abbeville, Thomas White, charged with the mur der of Per. Hawkins, a negro, was tried and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner is a white man, about 2S or 3'J years old, and the ?acts brought out on the trial clearly proved that he deliber ately shot the deceased without the slight est provocation. Thc- defenec? did not in troduce any evidence, but White pre tends total ignorance ol* the deed, and further alleges that he was so much in toxicated as to be oblivious ol'everything. His jury was composed of white men whose verdict will probably stagger some Republicans, who are everready to ex ag?rate and misrepresent the state of | affairs in South Carolina. White was sentenced tobe hanged on the 23rd of I April. Weight or Measurement. A decision in the case of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, involv ing the question as to whether _or not freight on cotton shall b^flflflg^l by weight or measurement, iii. ? new railroad laws of that State, has been retched at last, but apparently the ques ti >n is not settled. The court decided, a "cording to the Columbia Register, that th;} act does not alford any means of do t :rmining the force of the expressions heavy articles and articles of measure ment, and that these terms must be de fined by proof of the custom or practice prevailing at the time of the passage nf the act. There is no evid**u e in this c>se on which a construction of these t rms can be made in their application to co't m packed in bales. The judgment of the court is reversed and the case re manded for fun her proceedings. Analista Compliments a Columbia Man. Captain W. H.

Tho Abbeville Medium, under the head of "A Ticket for the Times," brings out the following : P'or Governor, General M. W. Gary, of Edgefield ; Lieuteu.mi Governor, Cid. Robert Aldrich," of Barnwell; Secretary of State, General John Bratton, td" Fair field ; Comptroller-General, Hon. James C. Colt, of i hesterficld : Treasurer, Hon.

Duncan, of Spartan burg. For the Advertiser. SUMTER, Mar. 23,1880. Messrs. Editors : lu relation to the prac ticability of making the office of Comp troller-General self-sustaining by means of the Insurance License Fees, the fol lowing facts speak for themselves. The number of Insurance Licenses issued by the Comptroller-General for the past three years is as follows : For 1877, 454, for 1878, 454, for 1S79, 441. The fee for each license is $5. Thus it will be seen that the revenue from these licenses was in 1877 $-2,270, in 1878 $2,270 and in 1879 ?2,205. Tho Comptroller-Geuerars sala ry is $3,100 per annum, the same as that of the Secretary of State, the State Treas urer, the Attorney-General and the Su perintendent of Education. Yet, with the addition of the Insurance fees, the Comptroller-General has received for bis "??.vices in 1S77, $4,370; in 1878. ?1,370; in in*?. $4(305. Is this reasonable? Ought any officer ol tne ytat8 to receive more i. tn double th* compensaliGno? other of ficers of like rank? Where is the jus tice, fairness or equality of it ? Do the people know these facts? Tho Honorable Johnson Hagood is a gentleman of hisrh character, and doubt less cousidars iiimsotr lawrully entitled to these insurance fees. But how do these Insurance Licenses differ from fees paid to tho Secretary of State for issuing commissions to persons elected or ap pointed to office t The Secretary of State does not claim tbeso fees as perquisites of his office, but turns them into tho Treasury where they properly belong. Gen. Hagood has been approached on this subject more than once. But he has always insisted upon retaining the fees, and no one desired to perform the nugra cious task of bringing the matter up for legislative action. Now that anew Comptroller-General is to be elected, it should be understood i i advance, that his compensation is to be nothing moro than the salary fixed by law, viz: ?2,100 per annum. For this reason I have.stated that should I receive the nomination, I pledge my self to pay the Insurance Fees into the Treasury, where, in iny opinion, they rightfully belong. Respectfully, | CHAS.*H. MOISE. Tribute of Respect. At a regular meeting of Grove Lad ye, So. 52, A. F.

OUZTS, J History informs us and statistics col lected verify that when one or more of the great planets come near the sun the temperature and condition of the earth's atmosphere is disturbed, and destruc tive lluctuations, dreadful torrents of rain, long continued droughts, ??tc, arise, by which harvests are destroyed and pestilential epidemics produced among men aud beasts. For the first time in 2,0CJ years all the great planets, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn aud Neptune will ap proach the sun in the next livo years, and it is predicted that during the period from 1880 to 1SS5, inundations, failures of harvests, deadly fevers among meu and pests among cattle will prevail. From ike Lancaster Ledger, The Canal Humbug. Where is Thompson ? where is Nagle? the two Rhode Island yankees who came down South last winter and hoodwinked the South Carolina Legislature. Has the Canal been cut? Not a foot of it, although the work was to have commenced in sixty days, ?"rom which tune Columbia was to be flooded with money, streams of which would flow out all over the State. Tlie Messrs. Thompson and Nagle, instead ol' going back North to Iring down great bags of t.'o!d and bales of green backs, visit ed the Southern cities ot Charleston and Augusta to raise subscriptions for sloe!;. But Southern capital happened not to be in excess, and not a dollar was taken. The Legislature had Leen hoodwinked, bul capitalists could not be so easily taken iu. Where ar? Messrs. Thompson and Nagle now? We do not know. Bot the endorse ment of their project by the Legislature ul South Carolina has doubtless discour aged individual enterprise in the erection of cotton mills in the State, and their fail ure to do what they promised will prevent greater competition with Northern manu facturers ; ami this is perhaps about ail tuey intended. They did not have the good of the South, but Nor.. ern manu facturers, in view. But already the State has lost by the bargain. Two hundred and fifty convicts are detained in the penitentiary subject to the order of Messrs. Thompson and Xi gie, at an expense of $62.50 per day. Al? ready, therelore, the Slate has lost OV< r $6.000. And this does not include the week spent by the legislature in hurrahing and airing its members on the subject, if the gas burnt and blown off by the Leg islature on the Columbia Canal bau been devoted to the tax and supply bill there would have been less demand foran extra session of the legislature. When will the people all learn that when they want anything done it is best lo do it themselves? If Columbia wants a canal and a cotton factory she had belter construct them herself. Those who do the work or have it done are apt to reap all the benefit. The Census. The tenth census of the United Stales is to be taken as of the date of June 1, ?SSC. The enumeration is to begin on that day and the census shall be prosecu ted from that date forward Without inter mission, except for sickness or other ur gent cause. Each enumerator is required to complete the enumeration of his dis trict and to forward the same to the Su pervisor on or before the 1st day of July, 1SS0, and in any city which, according to the census of 1S70, has over ten thousand inhabitants, the enumeration shall be completed within two weeks. The sum of $3,000,000 is fixed and lim ited as the maximum cost of the census, exclusive of printing and engraving. All persons above the age of twenty years who shall wilfully fail or refuse to give a true account of every person be longing to hw family to the census takers in the particulars required by law, shall be guilty of a jQisdemeaoor, and on con viction shall forfeit a sum not exceeding $100. Presidents, directors, and other of nevis or agents of corporations who shall neglect or wilfully refuse to give true and complete answers to any inquiries author ized by the act, shall be guilty of a tnisde meanur and shall forfeit not less than -^OUO nor more than $10,000, or be imprisoned not oxee- ding one year. U hick is Worse ! The Abbeville Press and Banner thus comments on the sentiments of a juryman :n the Edgefield Advertiser : "A lurymanin iheEdjefield Advertiser "Strongdrink and pistols are the in strum- nts by which our land is deluged with blood." "Yes, and juries too often give, certifi cates of innocence to those who have been guilty of blood letting.

L Circular to thc Uemocratic Couti ty Chairmen? Gen. John D. Kennedy, chairman ot' the Democratic Executive Committee of the State, has issued the following address; ROOM oy THE DKM. EX. COMMITTBB, ) COLUMBIA, March 26,18S?. J To thc County Chairmen of the Demo cratic Party ?n South Carolina: In the recent call for a Convention to issemble on the 1st of June next, the State Executive Committee desired, among Dther things, to submit to the Conven tion itself, when it assembled, the ques tion whether the nomm?t on of the ??tate ticket should be made then or at a subse quent lime. Had the committee omitted to name among the objects tor which that Conven tion was called the nomination of the Stale officers they would practically have assume,! to decide the matter in favor of a second Convention lt is 1 m nor tant that ibis view of the action of the commit tee should be presented to your respective County Conventions when they assemble to select delegates, and you are reqoes'ed to lay it before them, lo the end that the wishes of the party may find expression and Che delegates be ad vised "T? the desl?e of their constituant?. Unity anet 'harmony are paramount to every other consideration. Tue Commit tee lias implicit faith that me ti ellon ot' the Convention, whatever lt may be, Will ensure success ol' the Democratic party. Very respectfully, your obedient sei vant, JOHN D. K KKK EDY, Chairman. Pistol* and IV blakey. The fact cannot be concealed that in ev ery quarter of this State murder has be come fearfully common. Nori? lt less ap parent thai almost every case of blood shed is the result of sudden passion in fiauied by mean whiskey and perpetrated by some concealed deadly weapon, most generally by a pistol. ?Some ol our legis lators, during the late extra session, al though perhaps they did not mean to do so, did nevertheless utter a terrible slan der upon the State in declaring t:iat a law to prevent the carrying ol concealed dead ly weapons would be inoperative. If our people are not a law abiding people they ought to be forcibly deprived ol the means of resistance. If they cannot be induced by law lo abandon the practice of t arry ing concealed weapons, then does our State present a most deplorable state of morals. It is feared that too much of the whisky and pi 'ol element had place in the Leg islature. Judge Kershaw in his late charge to the Grand Jury of Richland county truly represented the practica of carrying con cealed deadly weapons as cowardly. It is also malicious. A brave wan is not afraid to go unarmed A peaceable man does not wish to be provided with means whereby to kill Ins neighbor. It is to be hoped that our next Legislature will be composed of men who have tho nerve and moral integrity to enact such laws as will reform the present disgraceful ca.eer of crime in South Carolina.- Conwayboro Telephone.

THE LARGEST REAL ESTATE OAVXER. A Reverend Edgefieldian tells us that (jen. Gary is the largest holder of real es tate in his county, and employs more hands than any other planter in it. He says it resulto not only from his strict justice, humanity and fairness to his col ored tenants but from his successful man agement and his ability to furnish them supplies at fair rates, and that he always has inore applicants to live upon his lands than he can Accommodate. His success refutes the iden that firming don't pay with colored labor. " But of ail," contin ued our informant, "he is a moat affec tionate brother and a devoted son, and ex emplary in all the domestic relationships ol life."-Bcuujort Crescent. We notice some very sensible rema-ks by the editor of the Palmetto Yeoman in regard to the late act of the Legisla ture cutting down the pay of thu States' witnesses to fifty cents per day. The edi tor says: "This may be patriotic, bul poor people have long since learned that they can t live on patriotism. The people have their eyes open, and will draw com pari sons. Why, they naturally ask, increase the salaries of clerks and employees at the Stale House during the session, and cut down the p^or man's w -gee who is compell ed, under ihe law, to go to the court house and stay there till dismissed by the judge, at perhaps an expense of a dollar and a haifa day, and only gives him fifty cents? This may belaw, but we respect fully submit, it is not equity; neither is it true economy to a party that wants to hold thc reins of government and receive willing and cheer ful obedience to its requirements. A man now who is a witness in a State case must bring his rations from home, cook them himself, and sleep on a blanket in a wagon yard, or lose money every I rip." We agree wi h our friend fully in what he says. It costs a State's witness as much to bot rd a day at Lancaster Court House as it ought to cost our law makers to board by the day in Columbia, but the lav makers give themselves five dollars a day and the States'witness gels fifty cents; quiten difference. We favor retrenchment, but think it ought lo begin elsewhere than with the witnesses compelled io attend court for the Stale. The Cincinnati Celebration. Cincinnati is justly proud of the com pletion of her great Southern Railroad that cost her twenty million dollars it makes her independent ol combinations controlled by oihtr cities, and throws open to her merchants all tue Southern ports from Wilmington to New Orle ms. She is no longer dependent on an out let to New York, Philadelphia and Balti more, all cities with adverse interests to her own, but is free to make alliances with Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans. That Cincinnati fully appre cuites the advantages gained is shown by thc mammoth celebration just held in honor of the event, an I the cordial wel come extended to merchants from all ?nits of the South. The celebration and the welcome have b'-eii worthy alike of the city and the event, and lhere can be no doubl thal the close i n fere un se thus in augurated between the West and the South will redound to the benefit of both Sections.-News and Courier.
