SYoung Men's Club and the
Club. We have nothing
yon either side ol
austion. The responsibility ol
N]bgit belongs to the delegates.
nttheir decision, in voting
reperts of that Committee,
~1e lioped that they will rise
all partisan feeling and be
entirely by the merits of
*6as. Whether their decision
lmrt this man's or that man's
for the Legislature should
nter into the consideration of
*~ !iston at all. The delegates
ton their oath it is true, but
Sare on their honor, and, like
sesof Parliament, are solemnly
lloid a true verdict to give accord
Sto the evidence. This they
sbould do, let the consequences be
ithey may. There is a greal
~:piciple involved in this question,
nexi~iple that underlies the very
Tonadation of Democratic organiza.
SThere is another question thai
~Cwil likely come before the Conven
~ton, perhaps the only question
Th1~e Executive Committee, at a
siimeeting the 2nd instant, unani
S ously adopted a resolution, re
3eommending the Convention tc
b-~roceed no further in business, bui
to authorize the said Committee tc
call a new Convention, the delegates
l o which shall be chosen, not fron:
Clbs, but from Townships. Il
'appears to us that this Convention
Shaving been called together in the
prescribed way under the Constitu
~-tion, to nominate candidates, oughi
~to do so, unless there be some very
-etraordinary circumstances in the
~'iI~fI +b~ fe-rn ia v~M
plan proposed by the Executive
Committee will obviate these evils,
or give any better results. We
have been opposed to the Conven
tion system all along, and have ad
vocated the primary plan; but the
County adopted that system for
better or for worse. Still the dele
gates have a right, no doubt, by a
two-thirds vote, not otherwise, to
dissclve the present Convention,
and to adopt the recommendation
of the Executive Committee. Whe
ther that course be the wisest one
we shall not undertake to say.
Suppose that course be not adop
ted ; what then? How can the two
factions be reconciled? We are
confident that the nomination of
either Mr. Suber or Mr. Johnstone
without the other would be a mis
take and a misfortune, because it
would surely lead to dissension.
We don't say that either of the two
men would lead or unite with an
independent movement: we are sure
that neither would, but many of the
friends of the defeated one would
refuse to support the other. More
than that; many men would quit
the Clubs and have nothing more
to do with Conventions or organiza
tion of any sort. What then ?
Drop both, or take both. We have
advised dropping both, because we
thought that the farmers, by far the
largest portion of our people, and
therefore entitled to special consid
eration, would not be satisfied with
the nomination of two professional
men, especially two lawyers. If,
however, that is not the case; if
the nomination of both will give
satisfaction--even general satisfac
tion, for it is impossible to please
everybody-then take both. The
delegates themselves come, for the
most part, from among the farmers.
They have heard this question dis
cussed ; they have no doubt obtain
ed the opinions and wishes of their
constituents, and are therefore pre
pared to take proper action.
The jort of Charleston.
The News and Courier, the 2nd
inst., contained a Review of the
Trade and Commerce for the Port
-of Charleston, during the year end
ing August 31st. What we are
most interested in are corn and cot
ton, and we give a few extracts re
garding these. The importation of
corn to Charleston for the year was
375,700 bushels, against 385,200
for the preceding year. The re
ceipts for a series of years were as
follows:
1871-2............Bushels. .608,900
1872-3..... .............420,350
18734.......... ........523,499
1874-5................. .383,600
1875-6...................684,900
The receipts of cotton for the
year just closed were 429,292 bales,
against 445,677 bales the preceding
year. The receipts for a series of
years were as follows:
1865-6..............Bales. .111,714
1866-7...................165,316
1867-8.....-............246,018
1868-9....... .............200,764
1869-70..................250,761
1870-1...................356,544
1871-2.................. 282,086
1872-3...................386,128
1873-4..................438,715
1874-5.................. 419,947
1875-6.................... 396,812
The cotton crop for 1877-8 is
about as large and perhaps exceeds
that of any crop previously grown
in the United States, being proba
bly slightly greater than the crop
of 1875-6, which was 4,669,000
bales. The crop now maturing *
* * with suitable weather and a
late frost will perhaps not exceed
4,750,000 bales.
The crops of cotton in the United
States for thie past thirteen years
and the prices of middling uplands
in this market, on the first of Sep
tember of each. year, were as fol
lows:

The State Fair.
The Tenth Annual Fair of the
South Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical Society will open No
vember 12th and continue three
days.
An excursion steamer returning
from Gravesend to London the 3d
instant, with 800 passengers aboard,
was run into and sunk by another
steamer. Over 500 persons were
drowned.

The Edgefteld Nominees. t3
The primary election in Edge b<
field County came off Thursday,
the 5th instant. There were nine- i
teen candidates for the Legislature, Jj
twelve for County Commissioners, I
six for Clerk of' Court, three for S
School Commissioner and two for -y
Probate Judge. The following are T
the fortunate candidates-we say t<
fortunate, because their nomination al
is equivalent to their election : C
Representatives, Jno. C. Sheppard, d
James Callison, Wm. Haltiwanger,
Dr. H. A. Shaw, Thos. Jones; Clerk
of Court, 0. F. Cheatham ; Probate
Judge, L. Charlton ; School Com- T
missioner, T. C. Morgan ; County
Commissioners, W. N. Martin, Wm.
L. Stevens, Joseph Wyse.
It has been decided by the New
berry Agricultural and Mechanical
Society to hold a Fair this Fall. E
The Executive Committee are char
ged with fixing the time. Novem- a
ber will very probably be selected.
It is important that all membership 2
fees be paid as soon as possible,
and all members have been urgent- a'
ly requested to hand their subscrip
tions to the Secretary and Treasu
rer, Geo. S. Mower, Esq., on Sale
day in October, the time of the next r
meeting of the Society, or before
that time if practicable.
Let all the members and the citi- d
zens generally, the ladies as well as b
the men, do what they can towards
making the Fair a success. If any
body has anything in the agricultu
ral, horticultural, mechanical or do
mestic line worth showing let him
save it for. the exhibition. The
most important feature of a Fair is
the exhibition of stock, and we hope S
a good opportunity will be afforded
for this. The tinie Aor preparation b
is short, yet with proper effort we
can have a good County Fair.

h WASHINGTON, D. C.,
a- September 4, 1878.
't- The first Fall election in which in
a- terest is felt is that in Maine. There
r- has been a belief abroad in the land
:- for the last six or eight years that har
a mony in the Democratic party and
d able leadership, would have resulted
st in Democratic success. I shall not
e offend any read'er in that-State by say
st ing that little capable leadership has
St been known in that time and that har
s, mony is, to Maine Democrats, an un
s, known virtue. They have seemed to
:e, delight in ruining their own prospects
u, over questions which had no proper
h- place in their councils, and thus to as
IP sist the enemy when, perhaps, he was
) at their mercy. I do not expect much
r- at the coming election, but still hope
t- that in the near future the party in
Ig the State will take such action as will
h at least make success possible. There
are many men in the Democratic party
., in Maine whom it would be pleasant
Id to all good citizens and profitable to
ld the country to have in Congress. The
of result of the election next week will
, have considerable influence in other
States.
re Hon. Fernando Wood failed signal
n. ly in his attempt to pass his customs
ly bill through the last House, and the
id indications were that even a modified
D- bill would have been defeated. We
of may be sure that radical change in
al that direction will not be possible un
tl til the public debt becomes under
ie standable and managable and com
a merce and industry assume something
ie of a solid and radical character. But
of Mr. Wood is not disposed to let the
a subject alone, and everybody will be
xe glad that his special Committee to in
h quire into the execution of existing
Scustom laws is at work in New York.
e All men who import anything are con
ts stantly complaining on this subject.
n One offiial after another tries to ion
nf gurate reform, and still the faults and
d the complaints continue. The largest
of importers will appear before Mr.
e- Wood's Committee, and intelligent
ie statements of grigvances will be made.
il These the clear head of Mr. Wood will
n reduce to order, and a Democratic
n House and Senate will embody them
11 in the law of the land. Mr. Wood
11 deserves well of all who are interested
at -and who are not ?-in the commerce
d of the country.
e- Secretary Sherman reports a rednc
r tion of over $6,000,000 in the debt
r for the month of August. In the
>r next Senate Mr. Davis, of West Vir
d ginia, will be Chairman of the Comn
:- mittee on Appropriations, and we may
's hope for real, substantial reductions.
it In view of the great success of our
Le citizens who sent their wares to the
n Paris Exposition, and the fact that a
- larger and earlier appropriation by
d Congress would have resulted in a far
o0 more extensive representation of our
. products. I think those Congress
0 men, Democraitic and Republican, who
e persistently fought even the meagre
t appropriation made, will be more lib
1- eral on similar occasions in the future.
- No one can tell how much of our mar
vellously in'creased exportation of
1- manufactured articles in the last year
y is due to the knowledge of their excel
I- lence which was derived by foreigners
s, from the Centennial Exhibition. Yet
is Congress grudgingly loaned a little<
1- sum to the promoters of that great af
3- fair, and drove a sharp bargain with
d them in demanding its full return
e from their empty pockets.

Sensible Article on an Important Subject- 1
MESSRS. EDITORS: The subject of
~ducation although an old one is al- t
ays open to discussion ; especially ii
hat part of it which refers to its cost in a
lollars and cents. Almost every man i,
vill admit the obligation resting upon o
ii to educate his children to such
t extent as to best fit them for the d
ositions which they are expected to e,
ill in society. The main thing is how
: accomplish the result desired and a
rithi the least outlay of dollars. The o
rouble in Newberry has not been the
ack of a desire to educate the chil
Ir,:n, but lack of concentration. The
ieople fail to unite upon one school.

ervices. This is the first step to- ha
wards rendering their work effective. St
Jan you give such attention to your is
yusiness as success demands when you ca
tre harassed by the thought of your tR
nability to suitably provide for your is
wife and children ? Teachers are only nc
iuman-you cannot reasonably expect jb
nore from them than from other men. of
The thing most needed is conec- us
ration. By that you might in a few be
Tears have good schools, good teachers, e
rood buildings, good furniture, a good in
ibrary, maps, charts and in a word all ti(
he accompaniments of a first class of
traded school-and, a fact which most N
nen will appreciate more highly than ti(
ll the rest, less money will be required le
if the people than they now pay for
ition. It only requires 100 pupils wl
n a school that it may receive aid fa
rom the Peabody Fund. S4ppose j
he State School Fund was applied pr
roperly-not frittered away upon
;hools established so near each other
hat the A B C's recited in one might
)e heard in the other. How much
hen would the people have to pay for pr
nition fees in order to secure the ser- wl
ices of first rate teachers? Let us di
;ee how the figures would look, sup. t
osing there are 150 children of school
ge in Newberry. The cost would be &
)er year: t0
)ne Principal-say $1,200 00
Assistant- " 800 00
2nd "1 4 400 00 Si
C
" d " " 300 00-$2,700 00 -a6
The total cost for the year would P
hen amount to $2,700 (roughly esti
nated.)
And here is the income to meet
~his outlay :
rom the State, at to
least..........$1,000 00
rom Peabody Fund,
(say)..............450 00
romi Tuition of pu
pils who st ud y-S
branches above the -Al
ordinary English, B
say there would be Ca
40 of that class out D
of the 160 pupils.. 1,000 00
~rom voluntary sub- G
scription (say.... 500 00-42,950 00
This would yield a surplus of $250,
hieh could be used in repairs, &c.
~ow, sirs, where is the error in this
~alculation ? If there is one or more
han one will some one of your readers
ye kind enough to point it out ? Di

Col. W. H. Folk, besides delivering
,very interesting address, acted as
)hairman of the meeting.
Prof. G. W. Holland being intro- rE
ted, spoke at length on Collegiate to
Oducation. His speech was hn able an
rgument and, in our judgment, a ac
omplete answer to whatever may be
aid in favor of the "bread and butter" su
totrine, which a class of hasty and
uperficial thinkers are so fond of at
empting to preach.
Mr. C. M. Efird, of the class of '77, IN
ras the next speaKer. His subject
ras The Future of our Country.
