IrX^ 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 Coumy The Chair men of these clubs make up the County Executive Committee. And it is earn estly hoped that each club will be repre sentei| in che meeting of Saturday. If the clubs are lukewarm and negligent in the beginuiujl. tliojv ??niiot rwuwn.W_v com plain afterwards thai things have not gone to suit them. There are divers mat ters and measures ol the highest impor tance to be considered on this occasion, and no section of Edgetield should allow itself to be unrepresented And in this connexion, we would cali attention to thc circular letter, published in another column, from Gen. John D. Kennedy, theCnairman of theState Dem ocratic Executive Committee, the sum and substance of which is. that the State Committee, in v:?\v of the difference Of opinion which undoubtedly exists upon the subject, desire that the Democratic masses, by their representatives in the Convention, shall determine whether the nomination of tho State ticket can besi be made in June, or at some subsequent time. The State Convention. Senator M. C. Butler, in a letter toa gentleman in Chester, quoted by the Bulletin, objects to an early State nomi, nttion. In his opinion it would remove some of the enthusiasm from the canvass and give an opportunity to soreheads and independents to make a tight if they be so disposed. We do not believe any one will beso unpatriotic or so insane as to bead an independent movement, or if 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 in polities, the masses have been attending to other metters, taking no thought as yet of the nominations to be made. Between this timo and the first of June they will be too busy with their crops to think seri ously of otner matters, and it is not do ing them justice cr conducive of tho best interests of tho Democratic party to cot. - pel a selection of candidates before the whole held is careful ly examined. [ Winnsboro News. To Be Hanged for 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 28 or 30 years old, and the ?acts brought out on the trial clearly proved that he deliber ately shot the deceased without the slight est provocation. The defence did not in troduce any evidence, but White pre tends total ignorance of the deed, and further alleges that he was so much in toxicated as to be oblivious of everything. His jury was composed of white men whose verdicc will probably stagger some Republicans, who are ever ready to ex aggerate and misrepresent the state of a?Tiirs in South Caroliua. White was sentenced to be hanged on the 2ird of April. Weight or Measurement. A decision iu the case ol" the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, involv ing the question as to whether _or not freight on cotton shall bg^fll Hd by weight or measurement, ni. ' f new rulroad Jaws of that State, has been retched at last, but apparently the ques ti m is not settled. Tho court decided, a rording to the Colon: bia Reg inter, that th.* act does not afford any means of de termining the force of the expressions heavy articles and artic es 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 of the act. Tin re is no evid?U e in this c;ise ?m which a construction of these t rms can be made in their application to co't ci packed in bales. The judgment of the court is reversad ao l the case re manded for further proceedings. Ansusta Compliments a Columbia Man. Captain W. H. Trezevant, formerly of Columbia, was elected last Friday even ing Chief of the Fire Department < f Au gusta, by a very complimentary vote. Augusta has made a good selection, and Carolina will warrant the success of her Fire Department under < apt. Trezevant. The State ??ress Association.

The Abbeville Medium, under the head of "A Ticket for the Times," brings out the following : For Governor, General M. W. Cary, of Edgefield ; Lieutenant Governor, Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell ; Secretary of State, General John Bratton, of Fair field ; Comptroller-General, Hon. James C. Colt, of t hesterficld : Treasurer, Hon.

W\ Duncan, of Spartan burg. St) WI ca pu W( an th dil For the Advertiser. SUMTER, Mar. 23, 18S0. Messrs. Editors : In relation to the prac ticability of making the office of Comp troller-General self-susta'ning by ?neam 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 1879, 441. The fee for each license is 85. Thus it will be seen that the revenue from these licenses was io 1877 ?2,270, in 1878 $2,270 and in 1879 ?2,205. Tho Comptroller-General's sala ry is ?2,100 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 his pri?es in 1877, ?4,370; in 1878. ?1,370; in iS7U%?.1305. ls* .isreasonable? Ought any office* ol t[ie yUl[e to receive more than double th* ?ompensationoi other of ficers of like rank? Where is the jus tice, fairness or equality of it? Do the people know these facts? The Honorable Johnson llago'bd is a gentleman ef hi^h character, and doubt less consideu-s ftlinsoir lawruity. omitted to these insurance fees. But how do these Insurance Licenses differ from fees paid to the Secretary of State for issuing commissions to persons elected or ap pointed to office J The Secretary of State does not claim these fees as pi .lisites of bis office, but turns them into the Treasury where they properly belong. Gen. Elagood has beeu approached on this subject more than once. Rut he has always insisted upon retaining the fees, and no one desired to perform the nugra dons task of bringing the matter up for legislative action. Now that anew Comptroller-General is to be elected, it should ba 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 rn}- opinion, they rightfully belong.

OUZTS, J History informs us and statistics col lected verify that when one or more ol the great planets come near the sun the temperature and condition of the earth's atmosphere is disturbed, and destruc tive lluctuatious, dreadful torrents of raiu, long continued droughts, Ac, arise, by which harvests are destro\'C-d and pestilential epidemics produced among men aud beasts. For the first time in 2,?CJ years all the great planets, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune will ap proach the sun in the next five years, and it is predicted that during the period from 1880 to 18S5, inundations, failures of harvests, deadly fevers among men and pests among cattle will prevail. From thc Lancaster Ledger. The Canal Humbug. Where is Thompson ? where is Nagle? the two Rhode Island yankees who came down South last winter and hood wir ted the South Carolina Legislature. Hu. the Canal been cut? Not a foot oi'it, although the work was to have commenced in sixty days, from which time Columbia was to be flooded with money, streams of which would flow out a!! over the State. The Messrs. Thompson and Nagle, instead of gning back North to bring down great bags of gold and bales of greenbacks, visit ed the Southern cities of Charleston and Augusta to raise subscriptions for stock. But Southern capital happened not to he in excess, and not. a dollar was taken. The L-gislature had been hoodwinked, but capitalists could not be so easily taken m. Where are Messrs. Thompson and N.igle now ? We do not know. But the endorse ment ol* their project by the Legislature uf South Carolina has doubtless discour aged individual enterprise in the erection iii cotton mills in the State, and their fail are to do what they promised will prevent greater competition with Northern manu facturers; and this is perhaps about ail Uley intended. They did not have the ;ood of the South, but Northern manu facturers, in view. But already the State has lost by the iargain. Two hundred and fifty convicts ire detained in the penitentiary subject to he order of Messrs. Thompson and Na de, at an expense of SG2.50 per day. Al vady, thereiore, the State has lost ov- r >i>.00U. And this docs not include the veek spent by the legislature in hurrahing md airing its members on the subject, lt he gas burnt and blown off by the Leg slature on the Columbia Canal had bern levoted to the tax and supply bili there vould have been less demand for an extra ?ession of the legislature. When will tue people all learn that vhen they want anything done it is best o do it themselves? If Columbia wants a :anal and a cotton factory she had belter lonstruot them herself. Those who do the vork or have it done are apt to reap all he benefit. The Census. The tenth census of the United Stales s to be taken as of the date of June ], SS0.

Kennedy, chairman of the Democratic. Executive Committee of the Stale, has issued the following address; ROOM oy THE DEM. EX. COMMITTEE, \ COLUMBIA, March 2(3, 1880. J To the County Chairmen of the Demo cratic Fart}/ ,n South Carolina: In the recent call for a Convention to assemble on the 1st of June next, the Stale Executive Committee desired, among other things, to submit to the Conven tion itself, when it assembled, the ques tion whether the nomm?t on of the State ticket should be made then or at a subse quent time. Had the committee omitted to name among the objects tor which that Conven tion was called the nomination of the State officers they would practically have assumed to decide the matter in favor ol' a second Convention lt is important that this 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 requested lo lay it before them, to the end t?at the wishes ol' the party may rind expression aud ?be delegates be advised1^!* Hie Jeffie ot" their eonstitufntH. " Unity anet harmony arc paramount lo every other consideration. Tue Commit tee has implicit faith that the action of the Convention, whatever it may be, will ensure success of the Democratic party. Very respectfully, your obedient sei vant, JOHN* D. KKKNEDY, Chairman. Pistola and Whiskey. The fact Cannot be concealed that in ev ery quarter of this Slate murder has be come fearfully common. Nuns it less ap parent that almost every case of blood shed is the result of sudden passion in fiatned by mean whiskey and perpetrated by some concealed deadly weapon, most gen-rally by a pistol. Some ot our legis lators, during the late extra session, al though perhaps they did not mea:: to do sa, did nevertheless utter a terrible slan der upon the State in declaring t:jat 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 of the means of resistance. If they cannot be induced by law to abandon the practice of carry ing concealed weapons, then does our State present a most deplorable state of morals. lt is feared that too much of the whisky and pistol 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 his neighbor. It is to be hoped that our next Legislature will be composed of men who Lave tho nerve and moral integrity to eDact such laws as will reform the present disgraceful ca.eer of crime in South Carolina.- Conwayboro Telephone. A Carolinian for China. President Hayes did a good thing in naming the Hon. Wm. Henry Trescot, of South Carolina, as United States Com missioner to China to negotiate a treaty with the Celestial realm, lt would be hard to find, now a-days. anybody better fitted by tastes and training for such a po sition than Mr. Trescot. His experience in public affairs covers a quarter of a cen tury, the manner in which he filled the s?lice of Assistant Secretary of State be fore the war having marked him in Wash ington as a man of singular capicity and iccomplishnient3.

We notice some very sensible remarks y the editor of the Palmetto Yeoman i regard to the late act of thc Legisla te cutting down the pay of the States' itnesses tb fifty cents per day. The edi jrsays: "This may be patriotic, but poor eople have long since learned that they an't live on patriotism. The people have ?eir eyes open, and will draw compari >ns.
