EDITORIAL NOTES.
Senator Gorman save tnac rNaw
York city will poll 2.r>,000 more
Democratic votes than in 1884.
The deadlock in the Third Circuit
convention was terminated Saturday
by the nomination of Mr. Wilson.
The steamer Monkaeaton left Savannah
for Liverpool Friday with the
enormous cargo of 8,398 bales of
cotton.
In our territory of Alaska, people
at this time of year can see how to
read without artificial light from 2
o'clock in the morning until 11 at
night.
Speaker Carlisle is to make a can'
vass through the Northwest over the
exact route taken by Blaine. This
will make the latter feel like kicking
himself back home.
In the city election of Newark, N.
J., last week there was a gain of 2,000
Democratic votes and it is now
claimed that that Slate will go Democratic
by 10,000 majority.
Graded schools are becoming extremely
popular iu this State. The
graded school at Camden opened
October 1st with 160 pupils. The
graded school at Johnson has even a
larger attendance.
It is only twenty days to the elec
tion. Every Democrat in Lexington |
i
county should walk np to the polls on
the 6th of November and deposit his
vote for all the nominees of the party.
Several months cinee a man was
lynched in Charleston, 111., for a
"crime he was supposed to have committed.
Now the fact has been clearly
established that ho did not commit
the crime, and ten well known citizens
of the town who took part in the j
lynching have been indicted for mnr- j
der by the grand jury. It. would have {
been a great deal batter if those
citizens had allowed the law to take
its course. Almost invaTiablv, it is
better in such cases to rely upon the
law.
The schools of California are sop- i
plied with text books published by
the Slate. The best talent of local
educators is employed in writing j
these books and there are no array of
they wouh/,*'l-i>.':{ if pnridiascd IYon?
f outside publishing houses as is the |
case in South Carolina and other ;
States. The boots are highly spoken ;
of, and a small percentage of the j
1
irioney received from their sale is!
regularly applied to paying for the i
I
plans of the ; nblicfttion department
which will thereby be paid for in a
few years without costing the State |
anything.
If the "solid Si ml Is should ever be !
split the country would witness a i
slate of affaire in thin sect ion that \
would cause honest Americans to '
hang their heads in shame. A divided
South means, for generations, i f nut
forever, a mongrel government made j
np of the worst elements of both |
races, bankrupt States and laggard
people. What wan expei ienced ;
twenty yearn ago would seem a {.leas- i
ant remembrance compared with :
V? biit VTOnlii ho experienced if flirt j
Son lb should becomo divided. Ti
there are any a ho are disposed lo
linnt np pxciiwh for breaking away
from parly ranks, it v.oji'd Powell for
thbin to consio< find j'-o iy nfTilintif>??
in the Sontii means n tp'? as ikal more
than party supremacy. Tt is vital {<>
the social and l-mineris ini.-reftfs of
the people that no Pl. o issues he
jaised to lead Dm asals astray.

I Jh'ccosdings ci the Lexington Township
Democratic Club.
Parsuu.Lt to a call of the president,
! at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, 13tb
inst., many of the members of the
Democratic Club of Lexington Township
assembled in the court house and
was called to order by the president,
who stated that the object of the
meeting was to give some expression
concerning the recent primary elec<:.v?
? f~ii ,v.,^
uuu, ;?iit'i wuii'u ilic iunuHibg picamble
and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas; at the Democratic primary
election, held in this county on
the 29th of September last, for the
purpose of nominating candidates of
the Democratic party of Lexington
county for Senator, Representatives,
and I ho difibreut county officers, in
accordance with the rules and regulations
heretofore adopted and observed
by the said party for conducting said
election, such gross and flagrant violations
of said rules and regulations
were perpetrated and allowed at a
number of the ballot-boxes, notably
at Peak Station, Spring Hill, New
Brooklaud, Lewiedale, Nazareth
Church, Martin's Mill, and some
other preciDcls, by voting numbers of
drunken Radical negroes,
puffing thgJteHot-boyl'nd many
other lrt^dulentafrfWilegal devices
and irregnlaritifcs both in voting and
counting :he votes, as to render null
and void the result of said primary
election; and whereas the Executive
Committee of said Democratic party
did meet at Lexington C. H., on
Tuesday the 2nd of October, following
said election, and although these violations
of their rules and all Democratic
usages and principles heretofore
governing our primary elections
in Lexington county were patent to
their observation during said election,
and a knowledge of the same was
brought specially and forcibly to their
- ?? -X I -1 ...
HlIBtlllOIJ ov WllUllJtli nut* fill iirot j?iwteat
presented to their body by Mr.
S F. Wiugard, one of the candidates
for Senator, through his counsel
Judge Crawford of Columbia; yet
said Executive Committee did tabulate
the returns and declare the result
of said primary election, as if no
frauds and irregularities, calling for
any action on their part, had been
committed therein; be it therefore
Iiexvlcrd ]; That* we the Democrats
of Lexington Township iu club meeting
assembled do denounce said election
frauds, and other illegalities aud
outrages as political offences of the
blackest and mo6t disgraceful character,
and that we hereby enter our
solemn and indignant protest against
announcing the result of said election
as the voice of the majority of the
white and law-abiding Democracy of
Lexington county.
being fully oouviuced l>y
raaov and incontestable proofs that
said frauds and irregularities were
committed and suffered to pass unrebuked
by the managers and Executive
Committee of said election, we as
Democrats who desired and expected
nothing but a fair and legal election,
do not feel bound either morally,
politically, or legally to support the
ticket thus nominated at the general
election.
3. That if the election had been
conducted fairly and honorably as it
should have been aud was intended
to bo conducted, we would have made
no complaint and uttered no word of
protest of any sort, whatever may
have been l he result of the same, and
we would have cheerfully supported
the successful ticket at the general
election in November.
4. That as citizens of Lexington
county valuing the character of her
people for integrity and fairness in
public affairs, we deeply regret that
the hitherto fair name and fame of
our county should bo thus tarnished
and disgraced, and published to the
world stigmatized by political fraud
and eorruphou so disreputable and
dishonorable.
f?. That we the members of Lexington
Township Democratic Club asr
ombied, are in favor of putting before
the people a straight Democratic
ticket in opposition to the so-called
"spotted" Democratic ticket.
That a copy of these proceedings
'fe sent fh^ Lexington Dispatch,

The meeting then adjourned subject
to a call of the president.

| "Lot Her Boll."
| The primary election ju^t pussed
1 | has in the opinion of some thinking
; meu shaken ibo Democratic party of
! Lexington county to its very foundu!
tion, and if any conscientious, obstrvaut
mau doubts this assertion, there
j can bo positive nroof brought, forth
t
1 to show that this primary election is
the grandest fraud that has ever been
perpetrated on the white people of
Lexington "me old conuty." FhcIs
| are stubborn things to deal with, and
"truth is often stranger than fiction."
Yonr humble servant has been taught
from childhood that nuder do circumstances
is it a crime to tell the truth,
i but just at this time and by the conn
eel and advice of some of oor great
temperance, moral leaders, it does
seem like charity to keep the trnt.li
hid, for a season, at least. Bat, fellow-citizens,
the spark is kindling,
fanned as it is, bv the indignation of
I the working men of our county, and
: ere we are aware, it may blaze forth
i and burn, bringing down retributive
justice on some who are not feeling
cjuite safe at this time. The time is
right here now when it behooves
every man who is for the right to
stand squarely up for the right, and
.^mscientiqnslv^dq right because it is
right to do right, an?l not f^mply because
it is sometimee^iiSrbest policy
to pretend to do right when at heart
.we are in favor of wrong. Who are
the legitimate nominee^ of the Democratic
parly? This is a very grave
question at this critical hour and is
fraught with a great deal of importance,
from the fact that every voter
in the primary election is pledged to
vote for the nominees of the Demo- j
cratio party. The white people dare
not vote for a Radical. Independent- |
isrn is not safe?"Cousin Hiram in j
this emergency what, shall we do?" i
Let some of our wise men tell ns j
plainly who the nominees are, and wo j
will, with thankful hearts, respond on j
the Gth of November; and by so doing j
we hope to forever crush the life out !
of the black robed monster, who now j
Las ua by the (hroat. and is threaten- !
iog the confiscation of what little :
property we poor devils have, by
heaping np taxes too heavy for a poor
farmer to bear. A question, which
seems at first thought to have no business
here, and appears to have no
connection with the primary farce,
but upon close inspection, the pru- j
dent and wise can form a clearer conception.'
Are we able or willing to
allow our County Commissioners to
issue bonds thereby mortgaging oar
property to purchase and .make free
one (perhaps two) dilapidated bridges
across Congaree river. What any
man or set of men who claim to bo
actuated by no seifish motives, and
advocate such an outrage on the
pockets of tax-payers and tax-pfiyers
children, are dreaming about, is a
difficult problem to solve. Gentlemen
it is a 'dittle too thin," and if
there is not sordid selfish motives at
the bottom of this monstrous scheme,
then put the author of this down as a
fool. Methinks the loud and prolonged
cheering by some of Klumbia's
(Columbia's) proud citizens to the
chagrin of soiae of Lexington's "big
old countrymeu" at New Brookland
on Mass Meeting day gave no uncertain
sound. Another thought right
here suggests itself: there was a very |
heavy vote polled at that precinct,
and dame rumor has it that uot a few
of Klumbia's dusky skins added numbers
to the poll list. The very best
time to grapple with this dangerous
monster is right now. Our taxes are
too high already without tacking on
the old bridges. It would be a great
folly for Lexington county to accept
them as a gift, for who could we elect
as County Commissioners that are
versed in the mechanical construction
and cure of such property. The writer
has a little knowledge of long span
wood bridges, the durability of timber,
when exposed to the ever changing,
ever shifting, strain and vibratory
motion caused by travel over them?
also wind, rain, and even earthquakes,
and the damp humid atmosphere to
j which bridge timbers are always subjected.
With the limited knowledge
the writer has, were he a Commissioner,
he-would shudder at the idea
of accepting jt as * gift,. Were
bridges profitable, they'Would not~b6~

| county. Still other questions present
! themselves. Are there any tax-payers
! in the Fork that expect relief fron^the
i railroad tax as a result ol tho last, soi
called primary election, if so tell us
i exactly how it is (the relief) expected
| to come. Again, are there any of tho
| farmers along the Congaree. Broad
! and Saluda Livers, who expect aid
! from the other farmers of the county
for the damages sustained by the high
j waters? If so, say how,- and when,
; and by whom ?
And now fellowcitizeus, the writer
!
; has said part of his say, and tuo1 it
I may seem like there are some personal
! dings,- still they are not intended.
! Unfortunately, some of his healfrieud*,
! lie fears, belonged to the ring, but by
what means they were drawn there,
! only a man who has had experience
; can guess. The writer thanks his

CHICKEN CHOLERA CURE, .
A Friend for the Home and Farm. %
Years of careiul experiment and painstaking
research have resulted in the die cowry
of an infallible specific for the cute
and prevention of that most fatal and
dreaded enemy of the feathered tribe.
Cholera. After the fullest and fairest tests
possible, in which e\ery claim for the
remedy was fully substantiated, the remedy
was placed on the market, and everywhere
a single trial has been all that was required
to prove it a complete success. The directions
for use are plain and simple and the
cost ot the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense.
The etlYct is almost magical. 11 the remedy
is given as directed the coarse of the disease
is stopped at once. Given occasionally
as a preventive, there need be no 1
tear of Cholera, which annually kills more \
fowls than all other diseases combined. It \ M
is a certain cure tor Chicken Cholera. No
poultry raiser or farmer can afford to be
without it. It will do all that is claimed
for it. Price *2oc. per package. m t
