The Primary System Of nominating County Officers and members of the General Assem bly was adopted by the County Convention the 26th ultimo. The vote was almost unanimous. As to which is the better plan, the Con vention or the Primary, we have time and again given our opinion in favor of the latter, and the reasons for it. Now, that it has been adop ted, and adopted undoubtedly in accordance with the wishes of a large majority of the Democrats of the County, .nothing should be done or -said to interfere with a fair and impartial trial of the system. Those who do not like it should yield to the fact that they are in the minori ty ; and while not yielding their convictions in favor of the old plan should not attempt to create dis satisfaction with the new. No one is so visionary as to expect universal satisfaction with any plan. But. the plan adopted ought to be al lowed a fair trial ; and if the expe riment proves that it is not the better one for this County it can be laid aside, after trial, and we can go back to the former The County Executive Commit tee, composed of one man from each Township, has it in charge to report suitable rules and reguia tions. We believe these rules shoiild hbe made as liberal as possi ble without endangering the party organization; that they should be of' such a nature as to allow and invile, and even solicit, every Demo crat in the County to participate in the nominations. The nominees will depend on the whole Demo eratic vote for election, and it is nothing but right that the whole of this vote should be accepted in their s,election as candidates. There will probably be a division of sentiment as to what vote should constitute a nomination-whether a:plurality vote or a majority. If a plurality be decided on the candi date receiving the highest number of votes for a particular office will be the candidate nominated ; if the majority be the rule, no candidate can be the nominee until he receives am majority of the votes cast. It will- be- readily seen that the phi rality vote would be the simpler ; because by that method -one pri mary election would be sufficient. If- a majority vote be required it may -happen, and very likely would,that several primary elections would be necessary before a nomi nation is made. The Committee having the matter in charge will prepare the regulations with care, and thiey will then be submitted to the Uonvention for its adoption, modification or rejection. The Committee will require time to at tend to their work, and as soon as thiey get their- report ready will call the Convention together. A Grand Fireman's Tourna ment -Will be held in Columbia the 16th instant. Fire companies from all parts of the State and some from other States will take part in the centest. The citizens of Columbia are making preparations for a big occasion. The rail roads will give reduced rates for visitors ; the Gr-eenville & Columbia Rail Iload will take passengers at one cent a mile, counting both ways. If CoL Fry would run a special train from Newberry that day, to leave early in the morning an'd return atinight, we are satisfied a great many would go from here and from other points along the road below here- He will probably do this. The Cour-t of Inquiry at West Point has decided that the colored Cadet Whittaker wrote the note of war-ning to himself, clipped his own ears and tied himself. His object seems to have been to excitc sv npa thy so as to be enabled to pass his examination successfully or to get another chance.

Pope, ilas adopted: R~eso1ced, Th at thle Newbierry (Coun ty Democrat ie Convention agree that the P'rimiary system of election be adopted in selecting candidates for County ofticers and for members of thei General Assembly at tile next election. The following resolution, offered by W. H. Wallace, Esq., was adopted: '[Resolved, That :t be referred to the Executive Committee of Newberry County to Jevise rr4es and regulations for conducting the Primary elections, ~nd to report the same toan adjourned A Curious Fact. The papers and the people of Sotth Caroliua have almost unani mously commended Hampton's speech in the U. S. Senate opposing the unseating of Kellogg. If Hanp ton had taken the other side and advocated turning Kellogg out we should have heard his course com mended with the same unanimity. Last December Congressman Ai ken was advocating the disband. ment of the Democratic party and the selection of some man as a candidate without reference to his politics. Col. E. S. Keitt advocated precisely the same views, with the single exception that he suggested Gen. Grant as the Presidential can didate. The idea of both was to solidify and unite the country. To day Col. Aiken is the choice of nine tenths of the voters of this County, while Col. Keitt, notwithstanding he is the equal in every respect of Col. Aiken, has become, politically speaking, so unpopular, on account of the position he took, that he could not get the votes of one tenth of the voters in his own County for any position. Several years before the late war two members of the Legislature from this County supported a bill of considerable notoriety-a bill, we believe, to pay a certain New Orleans firm for blankets, clothing, supplies, &c., furnished to the Pal metto Regiment during the Mexi can War. When they returned home and stood again for re elec tion, one was elected because he supported the bill, the other was deteated for the same reason. So it all amounts to this: It doesn't make much difference what a man says, but it makes all the difference who says it. The Census, and the South. The Census that is now being taken will affect the South in a very important particular-in her repre sentation in the general govern ment. The representation of the different States in the lower house of Congress was made in accord ance with the Census of 1870. Since that time there has been a great change in the relative popu lation of the different States ; the population of the North and North west has increased much more rap idly than that of the Southern States. The immigrants from Eu rope nearly all settle in the for mer States. In the apportionment which will be made under the new Census the Republican States will, generally, gain an,d the Democratic States will lose in representation. As the electoral votes of a State are equal to the number of repre sentatives it ha,s in both houses of Congress, it is very apparent that the Democratic party will lose in political strength. The new appor tionment does not take place till after the Presidential election. If the Democrats-fail in this elec tion all hopes are gone for many years to come. The City Council of Greenville has adopted an ordinance forbid ding merchants or dealers in kero sene or other illumninating oils from keeping on hand at one time at their place of business, more than one barrel of said oils in their stores or cellars. Our esteemed contemporary, the Greenville Enterprise and Mo un taineer, has entered upon its 26th volume. It is a valued exchange and enjoys a wide reputation. A long life to it, and success to its worthy editor, Mr. J. C. Bailey. Ex-Judge Cooke, of Greenville, announced at the Greenville Demo cratic Club meeting ~a few nights ago that he would again be a can didate for Legislative honors. Meeting of the State Press Asso ciation. The sixth annual meeting of the South Carolina Press Association will be held in the city of Greenville on the 17th Jnne, proximo, at 10 A. M. A punctuail attendance of the menm bership is earnestly desired. All1 members of the press not mnemn bers of the Association are c.oidially invited to meet with us and join the same. An address will be delivered, or an essay read on the occasion, and a pleasant re-union is in store for all. The citizens of the X!ountain City will, doubtless, give the Association a kind and hospitable welcome. An excursion to the city of Cin inati, on the occasion of the N-a tional Democratic Convention, has ben arranged, and all the necessary details will be completed for a pleas ant and successful jaunt to the Q~uee&I City of the West. .ppicnt for membership wil for conducting the Primary elections, to be submitted by that committee.

EDITOns : However politi cal your paper may be you are suffi ciently committed to the general good to favor'a word of grateful encomium to an humble man of God whose entire life was devoted to the good of South Carolina. Mr. Daniel was born in Abbeville about 1814, and as soon as his education was completed entered the practical Pastorate of the Meth. odist Church. He was constitution ally timid and reserved, and in the peculiar and arduous toils of itinerant life, he met with many things that depressed and tried his patient soul. About the second or third year of his ministry, he was sent as Junior to what was then called UJnion Circuit. His Senior having to retire on account of ill health, left Mr. Daniel in charge of the government of the churches. I happened to meet him once at one of his large and influential country con gregations. I saw in a moment that his generous heart was broken. And as the crowded audience was filing into their seats, he begged me to walk with him. We walked in sullen si lence some distance, with his moist ened eyes upon the ground, and his physiognomy'clouded as I never had seen it. Solemn step after step was leisurely taken, waiting for him to break the ice ais !o his trogble; -g4 after waiting until I became uneasy, I asked him t-he cause or nature of his trouble. HIe told me that an erringz member of that congregation had to be dealt with that day for misconduct. And, unfortunately, it was an humble friendless f1maic, who had to encoua te the r'anrs of the las of the This indicated to we, not his weakness so much as his ehivalry,~and high i toned sensibilities. He was unnatu rally timtid in assouiation with ladies, I and with parties knuwing him well. the wonder was that he ever made a mo%ement in the direction of matri muny. But he did make on.e. A lady every way his equal-cultivated, pious and well connected-a native of his own Abbeville. (District as it was then called.) and his cautiouasness and prudence was so conspicuous in all that he did, very few persons knew either the lady, or the details of the suit. And my opinion always has been, that so far from meeting with a flat refusal, that the object of his faney gave a negative response in the incipiency of the suit, more because it is generally understood to be proper thus to respond in the preliminary stages of courtshiD. But taking every word for the solid truth, and that she i was too pure to equivocate in the least particular; and he never hinted court ship again, either to her or any one else. But sought, as he told me, an enlargement of his commission to go into the "hedges and highways" of his country, laboring and living, to do good to the souls and bodies of the people. And with the exception of a few years speut with an invalid mo tlier near the close of life, Mr. Daniel spent a life of average length as an honored and useful member of the South Carolina Conference. He was never regarded as a fancy preacher, but always as a safe one. 11is ap pointmient to Charleston City, and many other charges of equal impor tance, indicate the opinion the Bishop had of his prudence, qualifications and piety. His sermons were not as flashy as some men's, nor did they have as many coriiers to them as some I have heard; but they were plain, sound, compact, forcible, and of rea sonable length. And none of his peers, (not excepting the Bishop on the bench) wielded a graver physiog nomy or a more Christ-like mien in his intercourse with society. In his pastoral work in the families, or his ministrations in the pulpit, he never -compromised the dignity of his pro fession. And although history may never make any great clamor about what he did, because he was modest, and humble, and unpretending ; but the details of the Judgment will show what he did for South Carolina. I know how common it is for an humble man to lie down at the end of a faith ful life, having given his energies, his talents, possessions, his social com forts, and the whole cf the juice and light of his life to benevolence, and his thankless beneficiaries let him sleep without a white rock at his head even, and his name go out of record. Perhaps to-day, at the family grave yard at Ninety-Six, it would be diffi cult to tell where sleep the sacred re mains of him of whom I am writing, and whose unselfish life I want remem bered. J. W. VrANDIVER. Weaverville, N. C. WVomaz's Wisdom. "She insists that it is more of impor tance, that her family shall be kept in full health, than that she should have all the fashionable dresses and styles of the times. She therefore sees to it, that each member of her family is supplied with enough Hop Bitters, at the first appearance of any symptoms of ill health, to prevent a fit of sick ness with its attendant expense, care and anxiety. All women should ex ercise their wisdom in this way."---Ex. FOR THE HERALD. KINARD's TURNx OLTT, May 21st, 1880. DEAR hERALD: Kinard's is put ting on a new face, that adds greatly to her natural beauties. Mr. .H. Q. Henson is having his residence re modeled, which promises soon to be a handsome one, with its stylish front, and double portico making a pretty contrast to the luxuriant foliage that surrounds it. Went to Clinton yesterday ; a beau tiful little village, nestling among the green trees, in its quiet and rural beauty. Nature, as if partial to the spot, lingers there in all her beauty especially around the handsome res idence of Mr. Phinney-the most beautiful one in town. A pretty rus tic bridge spans the railroad embank ment as a crossing, over into the grounds, which have no other en closure than the tall evergreens and gay roses that gracefully droop over the embankmen~t, as if to peer into the coaches and refresh the weary worn passengers with a glimpse of their bright faces. The bright, bright flowers ! that diffuse their cheerv in Suence alike over all ; visiting the bedside of the invalid and in their mute though all-powerful language, whispering of unfading flowers in the land immortal ; brightening anid beau tifying the festive board, or blooming by the loyly waysjqe, ;o checcrthe traveller when faint and weary.] Was t a part ne-,r Martin's Deot f with the exhilarating strains, as with p,rt movements we kept time to that jOlly melody. The sdvantages of I wp \Gar wecre not~frgotten; b)ut the:I "gentle" men looked so strong'ly in - cli:ud to iut their tin,,-rs in tlheir mouths and hang theiri heads when the tender subject was broached. that we pitied their en,barrassuen t. and waived our privileges. "Blessed are they that 'spects no thing, for they shan't be disappoint ed," was the subject of discourse from the pulpit in the ")long ago" ; but we are an exception to that sublime sen timent, as we expected a dearth of fruit, but have been agreeably sur prised to see a large number of trees A laden with peaches and apples. The farmers are getting rid of the "dry grins", and planting cotton by uc the wholesale. Not much sickness among the com- "n !V munity ; but we are all more or less - on the "wilt"-a debilitating feeling that is one of the accompaniments of Spring, which, destroying the appetite and reducing the flesh, makes one feel that he could hire out to a great ad vantage as a beau pole. l CLAnA LOUISE. 01 A Baby Prizes, i600.

F An Exciting Scene at the Sessions in King- tl stree. L li el Special Dispatch to The News and Courier. ri KINGSTREE, May 26.-The most P exciting and tragic scene that has P ever occn:red in a Court of this State was enacted here to-day. It was in o the case of the State against W. W. st ' WVard, indicted for forgery.h T he readers of The News and Courier will remember that at the ir March term, 1879, there was tried at m this place a case of' foreclosure where ~ James Harper was the plaintiff and P W. W. Ward defendant. Ward held a a receipt of Harper's for $2.400 in h< payment of a bond which harper r denied was a genuine paper, and ni which Judge Mackey,sitting in equity, rP pronounced a forgery, and ordered el that Ward be indicted. The criminal t.I suit was begun yesterday and con- P cluded to-day. James Harper was the prosecutor. XWhen the jury ren dered their verdict of guilty and the Judge ordered the sheriff to take p charge of the prisoner, Ward. who " was sitting inside of the bar of the court, and who was perfectly sober, s deliberately arose from his seat, drew bi his pistol and fired at Harper one time and one time at W. K. Lane, " one of the witnesses. Harper es caped untouched, but Lane was di wounded in both hands. As quick as as possible several gentlemen sprang on 'Ward and disarmed him and he was taken off to jail. Whein the firing oc- be curred Harper and Lane were both fa sitting inside the bar, which was 0o crowded with the lawyers, officers of the court and citizens, all within a t few paces of Ward. That no one he was killed is miraculous. One of the hi balls buried itself in the wall of the Pt house, and what became of the other *oa one has not yet.been discovered. Great m: consternation and excitement pre- fel vailed in the crowded court-room, and F one or two negroes jumped out of the ? windows to the gi-ound, a distance of un twenty-five feet, un injured. n Judge Aldrich. ordered a warrant to 1L be issued against Ward for assault sa and battery with intent to kill. The e judge has not yet passed sentence on m Ward. The forge:y case has ex. ee cited great interest, and was ably su conducted by Richard D)o2ier, Esq.,I for the prosecution, and by Messrs. p Barron and Lambson for the defence. no The jury was an intelligent one, corn- c posed of ten white men and two ne- t groes - c-h NOTE.--Ward was . afterwards sen- bu tenced to the Penitentiary 7 years for n forgery. Snakes as Life D)estroyers. The loss of life in India due to the ravages of venomous snakes is almost pr incredible. Yet the disease whieh is 0 as wily and deadly as the deadliest sP [ndia reptile, is winding its coil att around thousands of people while the victims are unconscious of its presence. It has long been a hobby with in- gr :ompetent physicians to assumethat aonsumption is incurable after the formation'of tubercles h-as begun; d in every case they fail to effect a cure, ( -of couirse tubercles had begun to ma orm and they were incurable. The M records of medical science disprove ca my such theory. On the contrary, n eases of lung disease which had >eeny cue andt the pa'tients lived -- oryand fifty years in robust health, >st-morten examinations showed large ~iatrces (scars) where the tubercles ad oeen formed and removed.
