THE CLEVELAND SCANDAL.
The scandal about Cleveland has
run itsUourse, been refuted-and reacted
in his favor. As originally published
in an obscure Republican sheet,
but greedily taken up by the press of
that party and spread throughout the
land, it attracted attention and perhaps
to a limited extent created a
prejudice against Cleveland. The
publication of the truth robs the original
story of all its bad features, and
makes a very common place affair out
of what was spread over,the country
as an offense too great to be overlooked
or excused. It is to the credit
of Democratic journals that they have
not retaliated by publishing any of
^the^sensational stories that are afloat
fekL ''' tee8, Blaine's private life. There
- J "i IL.1
for his eleciiou. Another man who j
jumped at the conclusion that Cleve- ,
Jand was a bad man is Wm. Purcell, :
of Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Purcell was
an elector on the Clevelaud ticket, ,
and when the Buffalo story was circu- j
lated be resigned because he was sat- j
isfied, he said, from what he heard,
that Cleveland was morally unclean, i
Mr. Parcell has changed his mind
since the truth has come out, and has
published a card in the Rochester paper
jn which he states that since the
truth of the Buffalo matter has been
reached he withdraws his remarks
about Cleveland and will support
him. It would have been much better
for both of these men if they had
held their peace until they knew the
facts. It is the failing of most men,
however, to conclude that tbey know
it all when they have heard ODly one
side of a story.
i
PI^P' party^ however, to search the record
^QjBr of the private life of the candidates of
the opposing party for campaign material.
It will be remembered that
the Democrats in the campaign of
1880 did not touch Garfield's private
life, and they have not taken a line
from Blaine's private record. . As in
Garfield's case they have dealt only
with such things as concern him as a
public man. What the people want
to know is this: Whichf candidate,
judging from the public record of
each, gives the greatest promise of
honest government; which of the
candidates of the two great parties
has proved the more faithfol to the
'trusts that have been reposed in
them ? It is not difficult to answer
this question. What is there that
can be said to Cleveland's discredit?
What is there that cannot be said to
Blaine's discredit? Cleveland has
won an enviable reputation for official
integrity. Blaine has won a dirty
reputation as a political jobber.
HASTY CONCLUSIONS.
Daring the present Presidential
canvass a few men have already realized
the folly of reaching conclusions
too hastily. One of these men is
Henry Ward Beecher. He heard the
Buffalo scandal about Cleveland, and
immediately concluded that it was
true, and that he couldn't support !
him, although he had publicly an- j
nounoed that he would do so earn- !
estly in consequence of Biaine's dirty j
political life. Investigation proved i
that the scandal wasn't what the Rev. j
Mr. Ball, a Baptist minister with a
bad reputation, and the Blaine newspapers,
said it was, and Beecher
discovered that he could support '
Cleveland without hurting bis con- ;
science in the least, and now an- !
nounces again that he will support |
and^work earnestly and unceasingly j
ESITOKIAL NOTES.
Mr. Blaine promisee uot to be a
dead head in the Republican enterprise.
It is said that he will invest a
half million in the campaign fnnd.
A colored Cleveland aud Hendrix
club was organized in Cincinnati last
week, with 143 members. John Lcgan's
black law record appears to be
more than the intelligent colored men
of the border States can stand.
In London the people call 03 degrees
Fahrenheit intense heat. They
don't know anything about 104 in the
shade, and broiling lizzards on fence
mi .1 . ??_
runs oy lue suns rays. nu uaicu t
kDowu it ourselves this summer.
Logan's son, at West Point, is under
trial for profanity aud lying.
Blaine's brother has been published
as an absconding forger. The plot
thickens and the campaign appears
to be run on personal issues.
A good many papers assert that
Blaine has made a trade with Butler,
and promised him an important Cabinet
position for bolting the Democratic
party and running for the Presidency
on the Greenback ticket.
Thus far there has been nothing in
the canvass so grotesque as the performance
bf editor Dana, ^ho used
to denounce in fierce terms the notorious
salary grab, and now supports
for the Presidency the author of that
bill.
Only six States hold their local
elections prior to the Presidential
election. These are: Arkansas, Sept
1st; Vermont, Sept. 2; Maine, Sept.
8; Georgia,.Oct. 1; Ohio and West
Virginia, Oct. 14. The interest will
centre in Maine, Ohio and West Vir-^
gioia.
The Lynn, Mass., Bee has nominated
Dana, editor of the New York
Sun, for Yice-President on the Butler
ticket. This is not as great a reward
as Dana hoped for, as he has had the
Presidential bee in his bonnet for
years, but as Cleveland has disappointed
his ambition he is now seeking
revenge by deserting the Democratic
standard bearer and supporting
the demagogue and monopolist
Butler.
The New York World says: "There
is a rumor that the Republican leaders
have been in a terrible condition
of excitement for the past three days,
in consequence of a disposition on
the part of Mr. Blaine to 'throw up
his" hand i\nd withdraw from the
game,' as a close friend of Steve Elkins
expresses it. Mr. Blaine is said
to be thoroughly discouraged. It
seenls that leading Republicans all
over the Union have been writing letters
to him personally and stating
their reasons for opposing him, and
he can get no encouragement from
BM^ferter. The stoBMis that he
get out-and have peace I' Mr. Blaine's
withdrawal at this time could not
save his party, and would be really, a
bad thing for the country. The corruptionists
need just such a lesson as
Blaine's orushing defeat will teach
them. It will pprify the air like a
thunderstorm. Ob, no! Do not'let
Blaine withdraw."
Declination.
In consequence of sickness, and ray
professional engagements, I am constrained
to withdraw my name from
the race, as a candidate for the Legislature.
Thanking my friends for
their kindness, Ac. Respectfully.
G. T. Graham.
Aug. 20,1884.
Batesbcrg, August 13.?Yesterday
evening at G o'clock the Methodist
Church at this place was the scene of
a brilliant marriage, the high contracting
parties being Capt. James B.
Guess, of Graham's, S. C., and Miss
Sallie S. Mitchell, of this place.
They leave here this morning for
Grabams's, their future home,
whence they will go North on a
bridal tour, visiting various watering
places.

In a Bad Fix.
A candidate stopped at a widow's
in Mush Island a few nights since
and on retiring to bed dropped ^his
pants on the floor. In putting the
house in order that night the pants
were mistaken for a pair of one of the
boys in the family and put out of the
candidates reach. When he awoke
in the morning as be could not find
them ho returned to bed. Breakfast
was waited for the guest till it was
cold and when he was finally urged
to arouse himself be made bis predicament
known and to bis joy bis pants
were soon restored.

Batesburg Correspondence.
Mr. Editor:?While we truvel over
the extent of her territory we are
agreeably surprised at the wonderful
! resources of Lexington. Her nataral
advantages are destined to be developed
some day; her water power cannot
be surpassed. We were struck
| with the beauty and magnitude of
Biack Creek, her dark waters curling
! swiftly along, which forcibly reminded
us of a lion seeking for what he
i may devour, while the waters of Cedar
Creek go rippling aloug merrily,
, seeming to say: "God speed to you,
| my friend."
When the politician and capitalist
| of this country succeed in bringing
! the mills to the cotton, we will ven
? *^ ortTr fI\of i? ?ofno.l rvf Irnjiannrf.
t i/iuc V\J oay iuuu iuo^uu i* . ?
1 iDg our cotton to Lowell, Newark,
j Trenton, and other Northern factoj
ries, we will have no farther to carry
| it than to the banks of the wonderful
! streams of Lexington County. Howi
ever, Lexington is abreast with the
; times in manufacturing, according to
statistics compiled by the News and j
Courier up to the time that Saluda
Factory was burned. She had man!
ufactaring property upon ber soil
| worth $485,000, with an annual proi
duct valued at $53?,0U0. Her lum
ber and turpentine interest is a great
source of industry. The cars carry
i off loads of this valuable freight almost
every day, making Lexington
County an important factor in the
commercial world.
The crops have been watered with
j copious showers of rain, and there is
I a marked improvement, promising an
average yield. It is a fact, however,
that a great deal of the cotton is small
for the time of year, but it seems to
be in a growing condition, and if the
seasons coutinue late the average
crop will be reached.
M. Q. Norms.
To the Voters of Lexington.
The approaching election seemB to
be the all-absorbing topic of the day.
Will a member of the W. C. T. U. be
allowed a few words in regard to Uig
: matter? The sabject of temperance
shonid be a question of vital importance
at the polls. If we hope ever
to banish the demon of strong drink
from oar land, it mast be done by
putting in authority men who, in the
strength of God, will work for the
temperance canse.
At some of the public gatherings
where candidates withont number extend
the cordial greeting, we are told
i that whiskey flows free as water.
I Lovers of peace, of good order, of social
and domestic happiuess, will you
give your support to the men who
expect to ride into office on this tide
of rain, and misery, and death?
Will yon help to elect the man who
bnvs votes with^^sl^u^
ers will consolidate in favor of that
class of candidates, and we on the
other side most consolidate, or oar
can 96 is lost.
Ere many years the question of
prohibition will come np in onr legislative
halls. What would yon have
the members from Lexington s^y on
the subject? Would you have them
give not only their votes, but their
whole influence, in favor of prdhibi,tion
? If so, for the lave of peace, for
the love of home, for the hope of
i heaven, we beseech you to use your
influence iu the coming election
against the men who treat the ignorant
and deluded voters to the beverage
of hell. "Woe unto him that
giveth his neighbor drink, that put
teth the bottle to him, that maketh
him drunken." Hab. 2 15.
A Member of thf. W. C. T. U.
Letter from Oakvilla.
We have lately been favored with
fine rains and the most affectionate
attentions of an abundant crop of
candidates, which is to be chopped
out to a stand on the 30th instant.
Oar crop prospects are good, though
the July drouth did some injury.
We are certainly inclined to endorse
Mr. Qaltiwanger iu his article
favoring the strict enforcement of our
Primary rules, excluding all except
i known Democrats from voting, and
as Prof. O'Brien, who has been an
able advocate of the Primary system
siuce its first adoption, well said in
j his speech on the 7th, "If Radicals
i are to choose onr candidates, theD
j let us return to the old convention
j system.'
i Our people expect to have a grand
j free dinner and picnic, with the Hon.
I Samuel Dibble and other big gnns to
! speak, some time between this and
i November. The excellent artist, Mr.
McElveen, is still with us, but will
i
leave in a few days for some point in
Orangeburg County. A protracted
| meeting will open at New Hope
; Church, near here, to-morrow, with
; Revs. Joyner and Gunter to preach.
The school at Boynton Academy,
under Prof. O'Brien, is prospering
finely, and, like all his schools, is one
of the best in our State. Do you
know that Bull Swamp?Mush Island
if yon please?contains as pretty
girls, as liouest men, as fat babies, as
i fine peaches and melons, with as
: good a school, a teacher as accomplished,
an orator as brilliant, aud a
1 "King" as large, as any township in
the Palmetto State. J. W. H.
Oakvili.a, Aug. loth, 1884.
The Republicans have beat the
j Democratic managers in one thing.
; They have engaged nearly all the
most talented liars of the country.
The few that they have not secured
^ will probably volunteer for Butler.

John S. Summer's Burbscuo.
Ou Saturday lust I attended mT.
John S. Summer's barbecue,
Capers Chapel. Arriving on the!
grounds at au early hour, the young j
people were already stepping the j
Ight fantastic. Af er the crowd
gathered, which numbered about 200,
the speaking commenced. H. C.!
Bailev acting as chairman. Hon. S.
; I
P. Wingnrd led off in a strong Democratic
speech. His views were t??
same ns expressed on former ocC
isions. Mnj. O. Lenphart followed
in quite a lengthy speech. His views
on State issues were the same as
formerly reported. Diuner beujg
announced the crowd responded with
alacrity. The dinner was prepared
in the finest style. After dinner Mr.
E. J. Dreher made an address on
educational topics, and was followed
by Mr. W. H. Sharp, ou the same
subject Dr. W. T. Brooker, having
arrived was introduced, and gave -an
account of bis stewardship. In closing
he said be claimed the right
native Lexingtonian, and hoped to
sleep bis last sleep beneath her honored
soil. Mercer Brown, Esq., was
next introduced and entertained ifce
audience with mnsic and songs after
which he made a few remarks to^ie
amusement of the audience. _No
other speakers being present dan<?ng
was resumed which was kept up^to
a late hour.
Crops in this section are looking
well. Cottou is beginning to opCn,
and soon young and old will be engaged
in gathering the fleecy staple.
