Primary Elections.
The Convention did well in adopt
ing the plan of primary elections.
There can scarcely be a doubt
that it is a far superior sys
tem to the former one of nomina
ting conventions. Every Democrat
will now have the opportunity of
choosing candidates for himself,
instead of choosing other men to
make the choice as by the old way.
And it is a better plan than that
which prevailed before the war
the "scrub" race-every man for
himself, and the most popular man
for the office. We mean to say it
is better than that plan would be
now, under the circumstances that
surround us.
There is room for scheming un
der any plan. There is bound to
be wire-pulling. You can't keep a
politician from seeking office and
using underhand means to obtain
it, no matter what plans are adopt
ed. What the people can do, how
ever, and what they ought to do,
and we believe will do, is to order
these "journeyman patriots, look
ing for a job," to take back seats.
Let every man, in these primary
elections, vote for the man of his
own choice and suffer no dictation
from any quarter. These "journey.
men patriots" will have their work
ers in every township and at every
precinct to tell the people how to
vote. Resent all such interference
as an insult to your manhood, your
intelligence and your citizenship.
Use your own judgment. If the
man of your choice be defeated in
the primary election, be sure he
would be defeated in the real elec
tion. Further support of him after
that would be useless and foolish.
Submit your choice then to the
-choice of the majority of the party
when you come to vote for officers;
but in voting for candidates be
guided entirely by your own choice.
If such principles as these con
trol the Democrats of the County
the primary elections will work
well and the professional politician
will soon become a thing of the
past- So mote it be.

One hundred and seventy-five of
the Liberia emigrants. men, women
and children, were left behind in
Charleston, to await the second trip
of the Azor. They are nearly all
from the upper portion of the State.
The Exodus Association has pur
chased for $700, 270 acres of land
on the Wando river, ten miles from
Charleston, where they will place
these waiting emigrants and fur
nish them work and support till the
Azor's return.
In our notice of the Blair resolu
tions last week we inadvertently
used the caption Tilton vs. Hayes.
We take this opportunity to apolo
gize to Tilton. He has done a
great many mean things, but he
never stole the Presidency.
William Orton, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Compa
ny, died in New York, 22d uilt., of
appoplexy. Vice-President Reed
as een chosen his sucessor.
The officer who arrested ex-Gov.
Uoses in New York three weeks
%go has returned to Charleston
without his prisoner. He says the
State furnished him no money to
pay expenses. He describes Moses'
condition to be a pitiable one.
A man by the name of Whitbeck
in Albany, N. Y., attempted to kiss
a Mrs. Mead. She sued him for
$1,000 damages, and the jury gave
her $400. Pretty dear kiss, espe
cially as he didn't get it.
McLin, Chairman of the Florida
Returning Board in the Presiden

declared that the Tilden Electors
were elected in that State by a ma
jority of several hundred.

Editorial Correspondence.
CHARLESTON, S. C., April 27,1878.
The readers of the HERALD who feel
an interest in the fourth estate will be
pleased to learn that the Fourth Annual
Meeting of the S. C. P. A., so far as
business is concerned, is now of the
past. It was a delightful reunion of
the Knights whose titles fortunately are
made only with quills or Faber's best
soft lead. Our reception here in this
beautiful and historic city 'was all that
could be wished and more than was ex.
pected. The city in its most charming
garb, that of Spring, is brimful of
amusement and alluring excitement,
the Easter Festival, given by that splen
did corps, the Washington Light Infan
try, the Floral Fair, the Catholic Fair,
and more of a like delightful character,
lending such attractions as are impossi
ble to be resisted, have brought to it
hundreds of visitors. The Press was
honored by cards of invitation from
right and left-indeed, they fell in grate
ful showers, giving us the 'open sesame'
to every entertainment; it is needless
to say that such kind consideration was
most highly appreciated. An invitation
by Collector Baldwini to an excursion
around the Harbor in the U. S. Steam
er Moccasin, was another compliment
of which the Association did not fail to
show appreciation. This happy event
came off Thursday, and so courteous
were the officers of the trim little steam
er, so genial the Collector, so sweetly
delicious and cool the strawberries and
cream, so placid the waters of the bay
and invigorating the breeze that a con,
templated trip to Florida was brought
to a full head on this bright and auspi
cious morning. The rural editors are
determined to try so much of the sea as
is afforded by a run to the land of Flow
ers, and make an exploration of the St.
Joha's river. At eleven o'clock this
morning, sharp, the Dictator will lift
her anchor and bear away the happy
number who have determined to make
the venture-and it is probable your
correspondent will be one of them. It
is hoped that we will not be gobbled up
by the alligators which swarm in those
strange waters, and that we shall all be
permitted to return and sing of "-A Life
on the Ocean Wave."
Before closing this hurried letter we
would make special mention of Capt.
Win. A. Courtenay, whose attentions
were marked with the greatest kind
ness. It was in the magnificent hall of
his company, the W. L. IL, before men
tioned, that we held our meetings, and
largely to him are we indebted for that
and other distinguished favors. And
now adieu. Should we essay the Florida
trip, we shall tell something of "the
sea, the sea, the deep blue sea" when
"the Dolphin shows its back of gold."

A Campaign Slander.
When Dr. R. V'. Pierce was a can
didate for State Senator, his political
opponents published a pretended an
alysis of his popular medicines, hoping
thereby to prejudice the people against
him. His election by an overwhelm
ing majority severely rebuked his tra
ducers, who sought to impeach his
business integrity. No notice would
have been taken of these campaign
lies were it not that some of his ene
mies (and every successful business
man has .his full quota of envious
rivals) are republishing these bogus
analyses. Numerous and most absurd
formulas have been published, pur
porting to come from high authority ;
and it is a significant fact that no two
have been at all alike-conclusively
proving the dishonesty of their au
thors.
ECONOMY IS WEA LTH,
Poor Richard says. If this be true, then it
is wise in every family to use Daryeas's Satin
Gloss Starch in preference to any other, be
cause It is the most economical ever mann
factured in the world. It is the most econom
ical because it is the best; it is the cheapest
because it is the best. It is purer, whiter,
and stronger than any other starch. it has
received the highest award over all competi
tors in the four quarters of the globe. Don't
be deceived by your grocer. Ask for Duryeas'
Improved Corn Star.ch for food, and Duryeas'
Satin Glnss Starch for Ig.undry purposes, and
take no other.

~DITORS OF THE HERALD :
DEAR SIRs-We are under the ne
ssity of appearing again in your COl
mns. Under any other circumstances
'e would -avoid this publicity, but are
ow constrained by the kindness of
ur friends. The month has contin
ed in keeping with its auspicious be
inning. On Good Friday the Kings
reek congregation, and a number of
ersons in the neighborhood in which
e live, and others from your village,
egan to gather at our home and con
nued to come Antil the house was'
uore than filled. Previous experience
ad taught us to submit to the hospi
ulity of such visitors. Without any
efinite conceptions of what would oc
ir we watched the spread of the en
~yent that is peculiar to such ocea
ons. The liberties taken with th-e
astor's family, the consciousness of
oing good, and the unrestrained fel
wship, give to these occurrences a
ch pleasure of their own. When
e hour for dinner arrived we were
vited to preside at a magnificent
ast. In the quantity and quality of
ands and in the number and charac
r of the guests it could not be ex
'lled in the County, and in both of
Lese you know that we think New
rry beats the world. In merry talk
id general enjoyment of the table the
>ur passed away- very pleasantly.
fter some time spent in agreeable
nversation, one of the crowd inform
I s in a neat address why they had
come to our house and made it the
st Friday that we had ever seen.

akes, soda, baking powders, preservee
peas for the table and field, extra cot

plying to his address, we looked rouni
on that crowd made up not only o
our own congregation, but of all th
denominations in our community, ani
realized the objects of their visit, w
experienced-a pleasure that could no
be expressed in words. We confes
that we failed signally to express ou
feelings, a colder heart than our
would have been overcome with suc,
kindness. That our errors should b
overlooked, our infirmities borne witt
and our feeble efforts to do good s
warmly appreciated was far more tha
we expected or deserved. As the da
wore away the crowd dispersed, leai
ing us a cheered, encouraged and hal
py household. The psalm sang tb
night was one of thanksgiving, an
the incense from our altar was joy an
gladness and gra;itude. And no
when we meet at our table or mov
about in our home and see everywhei
some token of affectionate regard tw
thoughts come up frequently. Tb
first is that as the recipients of suc
great kindness we have been place
under obligations to extraordinar
faithfulness in our work. The othE
thought referred to is that the Hig
Priest was required to wear the nam(
of the people engraved on the part
the breast-plate nearest his heart.

it; but this ball with which the pe

materials, and it fails to inflict
much pain as those balls with whic
we pounded each other-in our scho

of little value-you could buy

siderable value-and to its compositic
quite a number of persons ini Pastoi

The Antecedents or Disease.
Among the antecedents of disease arei
ertness in the circulatIon of the blood,
unnaturally attenuated condition of ti
physique, indicating that the life current
deicient in nutritive properties, a wvan, ha
gard look, inability to digest the food, Io
of appetite, sleep and strength, and a sens
tion of unnatural l:nguor. All these mi
be regarded as among the indicia of a
proaching disease, which will eventual
attack the system and overwhelm it, if it
not built up and fortified in advance. I
vigorate, then, without loss of time, makii
choice of the greatest vitalizing agent e:
tant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an elix
which has given health and vigor to m:
riads of the sick and debilitated, which
avouched by physicians and analysts to 1
pure as well as effective, which is immense
popular in this country, and extensive
used abroad, and which has been for yea
past one of the leading medicinal staples
America.
Thousands use it, why hesitate
Joy TO THE WORLD! WOMAN Is FREE!
Among the many modern discoveries lool
ing to the happiness and amelioration of ti
human race, none is entitled to higher coi
sideration th]an the renewed remedy-Dr.
Bradfield's Female Regulator, Woman's Bei
Friend. By it woman is emancipated fror
numberless ills peculiar to her sex. Befor
its magical power all irregularities of th
womb vanish. It cures whites. It cures suj
pression of. the menses. It removes uterin
obstructions. It cures constipation- an
strengthens the system. It braces the nerve
and purifies the blood. It never fails, a
thousands of women will testify. This ralut
