The Republican County Convention,
alias the "National Labor Party," as.
they style themselves in their circular
call, will meet to-morrow, the 25th, in
the Court House to make nominations.
"No. 10."-We have been assured
that there is much more smoke than
fire in the reports of dissatisfaction in
Township 10. The "dissatisfaction" is
confined to a very, very small circle,
and that circle is growing beautifully
less.
I have just returned .7om *New York
with a large assortment of fine Gold
and Silver Ladies and Gents Watches,
Jewelry of ever y description, Silver and
Plated Ware, and Clocks. Please call
and examine goods and prices. Orders

EDUJARD SCHOLTZ,

.We acknowledge receipt of a copy of
an interesting Illustrated Guide tb the
Exposition andGreat Fair at St. Louis,
which commenced on the 9th Septem
ber and will continue to October 12th.
It is published by the Doctor Harter
Medicine Co., to whieh we return
thanks, and congratulate them for their
enterprise.
To "A DEMOCRAT."-"All commu
nications, to insure publication, must be
accompanied by the author's name
not necessary for publication, but as a
gaarantee of good faith." This is a
rule, and a wvise one, of all newspaper
offices.
You did not send your name, there
fore your communication does not ap
pear in thie Herald.
BROKE BuS NECK.-Mr. R. H. An
derson's horse got out of bis lot at Hel
ena Sunday morning and went charg-E
mg around at a furious rate. Rt'nning
down the hill just beyond M". Cline's,
he fell and broke his neck. We sym
pathize wi'i Mr. A. in the loss of his
horse.
The horse was strangely affected; be
fore he broke out of the lot he ran after
Mr. Anderson's son iad hied to bite
him.
No EXCUSE.-There is no excuse
now for a man to go shabbily dressed<
when clothing cani be had so cheaply 1
from Messrs. Wright & Coppock. It
is truly surprising how suits can be
made and sold at the prices they have<
fixed on them. They have a.large and]
splendid variety in fine and common
goods, embracing all kinds of gentle
men's and youths' wear, all of which
are offered at Rock Bed Prices. Now
is the time to rig yourself out in a nice
style.
NOT A CANDIDATE.-Mr. Andrew g.
Lngshore, of No. 6, who has been nom
iated on an independent ticket, re
quests us fo say that his name was
placed there without his kn~owledge or
consent; that he is not and will not be
a candidate for office on any inidepen
dent ticket, and that if he should be
elected he would refuse to ser ie.
He is for the rega.2lar ticket out and
out, and we venture to say that few men
in the County 'i ill secure more votes
for that ticket than he.
"Change is written on the tide," and
we suppose that little Dombey was im
pressed with that idea when he asked
his sister "what are the wild waves
saying," tantamount to what are they
doing now. Everything changes, nor
can we do without change, small
chang.e particularly. "This world
would be a wild" without it. One of1
the notable changes of the day to which
we feel called upon to invite attention
is that beirg made in the city of Colum
bia, on the Main Street and directly op
posite the Col'.mbia Hotel in the store of
Messrs. KAngsland & Heath. It con
sis'ts " the addition to their already
large stock of all the latest novelties in
China, Glns, Wood Ironn. Crockery
FoR No FENCE.-Nos. 9 and 10 Town
ships have each gotten up numerousl3
signed petitions to the Board of Counti
Commissioners, asking for an electior
on the fence law. The elections wi
come off some time in November, anc
'-no fence" will be adopted in botl
Townships. Let the other Townships
do the same, so that we may have thc
same law throughout the whole Coun
ty.
The friends of the Rev. J. M. Boyd
will be glad to learn that he is doing
good work on the Rock Hill Circuit.
The Hampton Herald says:
So busy has the Rev. J. M. Boyd
been for the last month or two attend
ing the revivals in the various churche!
which he supplies, that but little i
een of him by his family and friends
in town. In a note to us, under date
f the 10th inst., he makes the follow
ing statement, which shows his effort
%re being crowned with success: "A
widespread and deep religious influence
pervades my charge. Up to this date
ninety-five persons have joined the
Niethodist Church."

WIO WERE THEY?-Men, women
Lnd children were much exercised a
'ew afternoons since on the passige
brough Pratt Street of a two horse
~agon, with a red body and a cloth
~over, containing two frowsy looking
vomen and about three times as many
bhildren, one of the latter a little fellow
bout two and a half feet high driving.
is everybody was curious tp lknow who
Lnd what they were, and many sup
osing them to be Gypsies on their re
urn from the funeral of Matilda Day
on, the Gypsey Queen, at Dayton, 0.,
ur reporter was sent out for informa
ion, The wagon stopping near Mr.
las. F. Todd's, and one of the women
~oing into the store, enabled the repor
er to ascertain that the party were
rom Virginia, and on the way to Char
eston. As they looked very riiuch like
hite folks with dirty faces it was cor1
:luded they were not Gypsies.
OuR COLLEGE.-IL is gratifying to
mow that our College opened on Thurs
lay last with a goodly number of new
tudents, and the promise of a still
arger increase. Many of the students
have come from distant counties, an
vidence that Newberry College is ex
reising a wholesome inguence over the
tate. Centrally located, and in a
iealthy and pleasant section, with cheap
hard, and with the many advantages
fore itducationally, this institution
esrvsthe large patronage which we
elsitwill receive.
In this connection it is a pleasure to
dd that the students one and all show
n their gentlermanly deporanent and
lose attention to their studies, that they
re engaged in no idle work, and are
Letermined to make their mark. A
etter behaved or better looking set of
young men it would be difficult to find.
[he professors will have no cause for
omplaint in them. Success to College,
rofessors and students.
REGIMENTAL REVIEW AND) BARBE
JUE.-There was no doubt a general
iisappointment Thursday. It was ex
ectd that all the Volunteer Compa
iies in the County would turn out in
*l1 force, and that Baxter's Old Field
would resound to the martial tread of a
al regiment. Only four companies
ere present: Newberry Rifles, Capt.
). L. Schumipert; Enoree Rifles, Capt.
2. G. Keitt; Carolina Rifles, Capt. E.
. Kennerly; Palmetto Guards, Lieut.
[no. Duckett. The Enoree Rises was
he only Ampany that had anything
ike a full turnout, although having the
arthest distance to come. It had fifty
ive men ina line.
The four companies were reC ewed
>V Col. D. A. Dickert and Staff,
Only two companies entered for the
ompetitive drill; the Enoree Rifles,
,vithi twenty-six men, and the Newber
v Rifles with twenty-two. The Judges
&ere Col. Dickert and Staff, with Maj.
[no. K. G. Nance and Capt. J. W. Ga
. The judges were unable to decide
n favor of either. They were "ten
Irilled in battalion by Maj. Nance in
he manual of arms, and tied again.
In the shooting contest the Enoree
Rifles came out ahead, as eveiybody
>redicted. It is hard to get away wvith
nen who have shot ducks all their lives
yn Broad River. The score stood: En
>ree Rifles, 127-; Palmetto Guards, 106;
Rewberry Rifles, 70.
The day passed off very pleasantly.
he ladies were out in large numbers.
~bout five hundred persons were pres.
POLITICS A31ONG THE CO.ORED PEO
PLE.-The colored people have been
considerably exercised for several days
past on the subject of politics. James
W. Eichelberger, the County Chairman
of the Republican party, called a Con
vention of the party a few days ago for
the 25th instant. under the name of the
"National Labor Party." This gave
dissatisfaction, and many of the party
wrote down to the State Executive Com
mittee asking his removal, charging
him with changing the name of the
party, and making other charges still
graver, but which we have not learned
with sufficient definiteness or certainty
to make public. Monday Eichelberger
received the following :
COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 23, 1878.
J. W. ErC4FBERGER, Esq., Chairman,
Newberry Co., S. 10,
Sir-In compliance with the request
of the Republicans of Newberry Coun
ty, and in obedience to the instructions
of the Republican State Execative Com
mittee, I hereby remove you from the
office of County Chairman of Newberry
Connty.
You will therefore upon receipt of
this notification, cease to exercise the
iandtions of said office.
. Very respectfully,
ROB'T. B. ELLIOTT,
Pres. Ex. C. u.R.P.S.C.
Attest ; Jno. L. West, Sec.
Accorppanying this not4fication we
the follow"ig letter
HEADQUARTERS
UNION REPUBLICAN PARTY,
Roo)is STATE Ex.. CO1MITTEE,
COLUMIBIA, S. C* Sept. 23, 1878.
James TV. Eichelberger, Esq., New
berry 0. J7., S C.
SiR : Yours of the 19th instant is
at hand. You will pardon me if I do
not subscribe to the trite but perni
cious doctrine advanced by you-that
"all things. are fair in war." With
me bushwhacking and guerilla war
fare is but another name for cowardly,
cold blooded murder.
I can hardly believe that you know
so little of the history of the Republi.
can Par',y as tp assert that in 1872 or
at any other time the Party changed
its nam.e or masked its face in order
to carry elections. I would rather be
lieve that such assertions come rather
from your aiuanpensis who in those
days sojourned within its lines suffi
ciently long to enjoy some of its bene
fits and to share somewhat in the
spoils of office, but by no means long
enough to learn the alphabet of its
just principles.
In your letter occurs this paragraph:
"My reason for styling it the National
Labor Party Convention is this, and
it is nothing more nor less : if we are
not the l-aborers who are ? if we are
not National who are ? Pray inform
me."^.
In reply to the above, permit me to
say that if you will again read over
the paragraph you will perceive, first,
that it is a very unsatisfactory expla
nation of your course ; and, second,
that it is not true that you (that is,
the colored people of Newberry,) are
the laborers. I am as proud to know
that the colored men of Newberry are
really a part of that vast multitude
whose brain and muscle have so won
derfully develope-l this great country
of ours, as I would be pained to be
lieve that of all the citizens of the
country they alone labored. The col
ored men of Newberry are National;
but I apprehend that they do not pro
pose to stand on a platform which
seeks the elevation of one class of citi
zens over the downfall of another
class. They are National in the sense of
equality of rights, equality of duties,
equality of privileges, equality of re
sponsibilities among all the citizens of
the Republic. They are National Re
publican, because the principles of
that Party aim at the fraternization
and harmonious action of all the peo
pe, without regard to race or condi
tion of life. The brawny handed mue
hanic, the horny.fisted farmer, the
merchant, the professional man, the
common day laborer, the toiling mass
es, all may stand upon its platformaud
be sheltered beneath its ample roof
tree. They are National Republican
because they earnestly desire to pre
serve the Union and secure its great
est prosperity, by recognizing and
maintaining the rights of all citizens.
You are certainly laboring under
the worst sort of delusion, if you think
for a moment, that the State Central
Committee, created by a Republican
State Convention, could issue a mnani
festo to you or others authorizing and
empowering you or them to change
the name of the Party or to wipe out
its identity. To assume this is to be
at once guilty of a gross perversion of
terms. It would be to accede to the
creature the power to destroy its crea
tor. Such an idea is at .war with
every principle of common sense.
I write hurriedly for mail, and
therefore cannot reply fully to all the
inaccurate and illogical propositions
advanced in your letter. Suffice it to
say that the Sub-Executive Commit
tee believe that by your action your
usefulness as Chairman of the Repub
lian Party of Newberry County has
been destroyed, and they have, there
James A. Henderson has been ap
pointed County Chairman in Eichel
berger's place. Eichelberger says he
doesn't propose to recognize the remo
val.
The Republicans of Township 1 met
in town last night (Monday) and elect
ed twenty-two delegates to the Con
vention the 25th. The following are

PREVENTION AND PUNISH3ENT OF
CiME.-Mr. A. H. E. Sheck has hand
ed us a pqmphlet giving the rules and
plans of operation of the "Fellowship
Horse Company," an o-rganization char
tered in Bucks County, Penn., for the
detection and punishment of horse
thieves and other villains. The com.
pany has a President and other officers,
with over three hundred members.
The County is divided into sections
with a cowmittee and directors for each
section, whose duty it is to ferret out
crimes in their particular sections and
bring the criminals before the Courts
to be punished. Mr. S. thinks such an
organization would seiie a good pur
pose in this County.
As radical and effectually as a new
governiwent will cleanse the public
affairs, Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture will
cleanse your blood.
IMPROVEMENTS ANNP CI4ES.-The
rown Counci deserves thanks for the
efficient working of the means and
rorce at its disposal. The streets are
being put in good order, and the new
market house is rapidly approaching
ompletion. If this body had more
means many more improvements might
be mado.

A BIo FISH STORY.-Last Friday,
;he 20th inst., Mr. Joe Hargrove, who
ives in the Mollohon section, 12 miles
i'om town, found a strange animal in
[odian Creek, near his house, half coy
red by the water. Not knowing what
t was he shot it twice on the body,
;carcely grazing the skin; then he put
2is gun close to its head and shot it
~gai1n. Thinking he had killed it he
~aught it by the tail when it gave a
lirt and threw hiri sprawling in the
water. By this time he began to think
t was either Old Nick himself or some
>f his tribe. Some of his neighbors,
who came to his assistance, informed
2im that it was a Sturgeon. It meas
3redj five feet six inches in length and
w~eighsed one hundred and ten pounds.
[t was cut up and the tenderer portions
were eaten..
Indian Creek, in which the fish wvas
:aught, is about twenty feet wide and
vill not average two feet in depth-just
i little larger than Scott's (Creek that
:uns through town,
Some persons are going to call this a
'fishy" story, and we can't blame them,
~or it does seem most improbable; but
t is ttae. The s..argeon must have
lone up the creek some time while the
reek was up from Enoree River.

A DREAM.-The editor sat in his arm
hair in musings deep, and weary and
worn he fell fast asleep; his thoughts i
had been running on the promise made, t
"when cotton conmes in you will surely I
be paid." The days of the spring and a
the summer as well, were pulledt
through as editors only can tell; but
buoyed by hope and living on air, sur
vived he, and now the cotton is here.1
The tale is a sad one, the subs seem allj
led, or fly as they sell, and be sees not r
a "red." Asleep! while the bree2es i
play through his locks, and at the door
some one impatiently knocks, and not1
only one but many another, creditors
all, ahi! there is the bother. But what
is that sound that breaks on the air,
and makes his heart throb while he
dreams in his chair, subscribers are
tramping who cotton have sold, they
are coming, yes, coming, with green
backs and gold. He wakes from his
dream and looks all around, no subscri- J
ber is seen, not a greenback is found,
and, alas, this poor editor falls prone
on the ground, and but for some kind -
fredwohle-hmt iead.
