and DlaCe in their stead men who,
frm their honesty, integrity and mo

in her affairs. I feel at this moment a
degree of- hope and confidence in the

Gentls: Tour letter of this date
informing mxe that I had been -'uuani
tuously chosea by the convention or
a:ized at Newberry C. H , as the
andidate for Congress for the Third
Congressional D)istriet" was delivered
to me this day and I auswer at once.
The first e:notion is that of grati
tude for the confidence i:nplied in the
o:iuation, but along with that feel
ingz comes a deco sense of the respon:
sibility imposed' an:d of nmy inability
to fulfil the just expectations of the
entlemen of the convention. I feel
hat after all my efforts,sI may fail in
being the true exponent. and represeu
tative of the large and honorable body
politie which put moe forward. A seat
in xaCong~ress is always ant imnportant
ofhee, but at this time in the peculiar
condition of the State it is immnensely
imnportant to all .honest conservative
ctiaeus, who are struggling for a vaie
in r ublie affairs with a view to reform
the'administ rationt of Government. I
Idid net seek the nomnination, having
beeni so lone uneo)nnected with public
affairs-I had lost all taste for politics
and thought that~ I wa.s not fitted to
m iake a political campaign as conaductedz
n th etime's no;r to discharge~ satis
acoiythe delicace duties of the high
office. 'Tihe g.tuventiont thought otheCr
wise, and, without solicitation, has put
me in noinafltiont. I alccep't. the call
as a commnand and wi!! e' deavor~ to do
my duty. It can hardly be necessary
for me to make a personal canvass of
(the wh1le Congressional District. I
Ihave lived here all my life and I sup
pose every voter, either fro:n personal
knowldge or informxatin, knows who
I -m ands what are my antecedents.
They knIow that I am a mnoderate conz
servatice c,tizen. and ever since the
war in favor of peace and fraternity
between the seedons and justice and
idliness between the races.
Permnit mie, at the outset, to make
IonC suggecstion. In the conastituiency
to wiich appeal is made there are in
flammabj.l 'e elemxents, composed as it is
of two racecs nearly equal in nu.:ber.
IThese classes have a comimon interest
n the resunlt and have equal rights at
te vols If eieeted, I feel thamt I shall
be herepesetatveof' both. From
na:tural te Q.p:r:IiienIt, as well as from ai
sense of duty. I am opposed to thle least
violence or injustice, and I accept th1e
nomnaton and undertake to makze the
canvass with the earnest hope that we
are t.i have a fair ceetion, and that
every manti shall be allowed to east his
vote~for the candidate of his choice
wihout fear or favor and with perfect
impn'ity. If injustice is done let it
at be on our part. We thiuk we hav'e
merits upou which to rest and upon
those alone do we rely,. This is our
deteriation and we pledge oursel les
to i. Wehope our o:ppon)ents will be
anmtdby the s:me spirit and join

The Un.ion-Hcdall keeps a sharp look
wr anything wh-ch will hell) to inflame
ie passions of the colored race, and
i parsuing that palicy has done more
) kePp up strife than the whole radi
al ring in this State. In its issue of
anday last it publishes such portior.s
f a communication which ai)peared
uder the signature of "Gomos" in the
'rogrcssive Ayc, as best helps it at this
mneture, and straightway makes capital
f it, and says that-according to
Gomos"--"the planter can once more
ring out his 'hlacksnake whip,' and
be relation of Inaster' and -servant'
an be 'regulated' without further legis
:tion." The letter of '-Gomos" con
eyed no such meaning, but was simply
xtreme in recommending the policy of
browing out of employment one-third
>f the negroes as . the easiest and only
node of getting rid of the present dis
ionest government. That even such a
7iew is entertained by any one but the
6vriter we are satisfied is not the case,
he Union-Iferal<l to the contrary not
vithstanding. We have accepted the
issues of the war and could we accept
he rascalities and wholesale robbery
practiced by the ring, and so well main
tained by the Union-Herald, there is no
loubt but all would be well, and the
black lie that slavery is still desired
would not have to be uttered so vehe
mently.
The Sante Old Song.
If they were determined to do what
they say, we wt;uld be rejoiced, for we
firmly believe the country would soon
be in a more p-osperous condition.
But they do not. We allude to cot
tou farmers and the stereotype cry
which can be heard at this sea.son o
year when the shoe begins to piuch,
that "if I live till next planting time
I will prut in more corn, make that the
first and chief consideration, and after
that give all the attention which can
be spared to cottton." It is a lamnenta.
ble facet. that there is reason for them
to say so, for the all-cotton planter,
when he comes to square up his zic
ounts and strike a balance, finds that
Corn anid hanud hire have swallowed up
the biggest part, if not all of the pro.
eeds of the cotton crop-in sober
prose, he has come out at the little
end of the horn, and as the Dutchman
wuld say, '-mit a tight squeeze "
le sees the folly then, and sings thre
oleful plaint until the next time,
when he again g.ets cotton oin the
brain, and the same progranmne is
one over with. Thus it has been
gig on year after year. and each
year finding hrimi further behind in the
world. Is this not. true ? Now how
ng is it to laust this is the question.
We trust not for long. Wec ha;ve
heard the expression quite lartely, "I
ae been thinkitng this way for years,
ad have been putting .it off, but flow
-I-n:-us-deerine." How
any have come to thus conclusion,
md how mnany wvill stick to it. We
advise the farmer to ma:ke a start in
his diret-tion at once, for every year's
ielay will only increase the emtbar
assme] nt.
Si::ce writing the above ar zood far
er whno thinks he hars cut al1l his eye
teeth, aund is fully satisfied with his
experience in cortton. says that he is
prepridg to put all oif his cotton land
in oats, and thus it will be out ojf his
power to follow the_ old suicida:l policy.
We accept the idea as a go>d one and
rge its adoption. Take up hand with
ats and wheat-the best p:art of it,
eserving just a little for cotton-and

Te c.age in publie sentiment in

hat the extreme radie.d feeling does

that. a better feeling is dawning, when
reason will ass,rt the sway so long

Peace, honesty and good government
are the great wants, and whether they
c.ie under the -anine of Republicanism
or Democraey does not matter an iota.
The white people are willing to abide
by the issues broupht upon the couu
try and to accept anything which
d es not infringe upon their comnWI
riuhts, and to accurd to the colored
citizen all that he is entitled to. A
jalt and tqual adiminiistration of the

honest man, and when that time coms
there will be peace and harmony and
coinnion prospeity. The conserva

state of society. for their counsels

purposes thwarted by the teachings of

The old.established weekly newspa
per is after all the most advantageou
medium for the city dealer to reae1
the country customer ; it is read fron
the topmost line in the left hand cot
ncr of its title-page to the end lette
of the final word on the last page,an
-entertaining the highest apprecia
tion for the country editor-we woul
observe that the advertisements are a
carefully read, and not unfrequentI
longer borne in remembrance tha
the more edifying contents of th
paper. It is safe to assume that th~
country paper is read by an average C
ten persons to each subscriber; it
retained in the house of the economi
farmer or mechanic from week to wee
as a matter of reference, unless loane
to tl-e less thrifty neighbor, who is to
mean to take a paper, and too sensibl
to do without it when he can obtai

HOMICIDE IN THE DRY CREZK SE(
TION.-A man named Frank Simot
was killed in the Dry Creek section o
Saturdry afternoon last. Tfhe affai:
as we heard it. was thus: An elderl
an, named Benjamin Snipes, accon
panied by two sons, a young man name
Frank -Simons, and another nme
Wade Lott, were going homneward
from a mill. The young men werei
liquor, and a quarrel arose betwee
the two yournger Snipes men an
Wadle Lott of one part, and Fran
Simons of the other. Sinmous quitte
the part y after a little while, and gain
ahead, soon returned, with a brothe.
named Shields Simonms. Hereupot
Shields Simons and Benj. Snipes gt
into a fight ; and while they foughti
Wade Lott shot Frank Simons and th
two Snipes sons dispatehed him wit
their knives. We do not vouch ft
the truth of this statement. As w
have said above, we give it as w

NEWSPAPER BEGGAS.-It is trll
astonishing how many parties depal.<

plain, that before they have time ti
see the morning's paper, some kin<
eihbor wants to glance at it a fev
minutes, and thus it is from day t<

to inquire if we have any spare paper
