Yesterday (Monday) morning, be tween 9 and 10 o'clock, Mr. Levi E. Folk shot himself in the rear of his of fice with a pistol. He never spoke af ter he was shot, but lived until 10 o'clock last night. Mr. Folk had been sick for two weeks past, but was nearly well again, and appeared to be in good spirits. It will never be known posi tively whether the shot was accidental or intentional. We are clearly of the opinion that it was an accident. A few weeks ago, in speaking to Dr. Gilder, his step-son, lie said that when he (Dr. G.) should move into his new house he would leave him without any weapon of any kind on the premises; and he spoke of buying a pistol to keep in the house. Last week he went into Mr. Boozer's store to look at a pistol, and said he would take it Monday morning, giving the same reason for wanting a pistol that he had stated to Dr. Gilder. Monday he got the pistol, and in a lit tle while the shot was heard. When found he was sitting down with the pis tol in his hand on his lap, and the blood was oozing from a wound in his fore head above his right eye. There were no powder marks about the wound. It is very probable that he was examining the pistol, it being a new purchase. and being awkward with his one hand it went off accidentally. The death of Mr. Folk is a serious loss to this community, and to his im mediate family and friends inexpressi bly sad. He was universally liked and respected. He had been Auditor for this County since June, 1877, and dis charged the duties of the office with marked care and ability and with per fect satisfaction. Mr. Folk was born in Newberry County, and was fifty years of age. At the breaking out of the war he was living in Georgia; he enlisted in a Georgia Regiment and re mained in service until he lost his arm at the battle of Spottsylvania, May 12, 1864. Mr. Folk was twice married. He leaves by his first wife three sons, all grown, Dr. J. Wm. Folk, Charley and Christian; and by his second, who sur vives him, four boys, all small. His family have the sincere sympathies of the community in their sore affliction. The funeral services will be held this (Tuesday) afternoon at half past 4 'clock, in the Methodist Church; the emains will 'be buried at Rosemnon t emetery at 5 o'clock. The Newberry Lutheran Conference Held its session in the Lutheran hurch in town Friday and Saturday. Several subjects of practical interest to h Church were discussed. The most nteresting subject was, whether the resent style of preaching the gospel is he most effectual. Rev. Hawkins open d the discussion-we did not hear his ~tddress. Rev. Bowles, who followed, nsisted on plain, simple and practical ermons. He said that ministers were oo solicitous to please their congrega ~ions; were too much afraid of offend ing the people. He also opposed writ en sermons. Rev. J. A. Sligh said that when a ninister made it his first object to please his congregation, and begins to consult bout the best policy he becomes inef ective. A minister is dependent, to ome extent, on the people for his liv ing; but he should be more mindful of his account to God than to his congre ation-he should have more regard for the souls of men than for their good pinion. One objection to the common style of ..reaching is that there is too uch effort at the beautiful, the logical nd the sublime. This sort of preach ing pleases, but it does not strike or wound. He didn't think a minister bould confine himself either to written r to extempore sermons. Rev. R. A. Pair, of the Presbyterian Church, was called on and took part in the discussion. Rev. J. D. Shirey preached the Sun day morning sermon to a large congre gaton. In the afternoon Rev. H. S. Wingard delivered an address on the ubject of Sunday Schools. inquest. Coroner E. C. Longshore held an in quest Wednesday pye r, egro child three days old that died from an over dose of morphine administered by its mother, Hester Harris, who lives in town. Testimony was taken, and the examining physician, Dr. gilder, testi fied that death was caused by an over dose of laudanaim. The mother ac knowledged that she gave it laudanum, but only a drop, and to keep it quiet, as it was sicik and fretful. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was, that the child came to its death by an overdose of ladanumn administered by its mother, Hester Harris, thriough ignorance. This was the woman's fifth child, and none has eyer lived beyond seven months. She has never been *ar.ried. Major William F. Nance for Adjutant Cenra.. As it will be seen elsewhere in an extract fromi the New berry HERAL.rt, Major Nance's friends have put him in nomination for Adjutant General. The Major certainly deserves the: handsome terms in which be is spoken of. An honorable, gallant and worthy gentlmag eg.ery vay, we syQuid yet warn Major Nance that he will find foemen worthy of his steel in the equally gallant and noble gentlemen who are also in the field.-Coliunduia RIegister. ut with a Cyt+he Blae. The Democratic County Convention. This body met in the Court House the 26th ultimo to elect delegates to the State Convention. The session was characterized by the utmost harmony and by a unity of feeling and action that presages a successful and satisfactory campaign. In the selection of a COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE the Convention displayed good judg ment. This Committee, taken as a whole, is well qualified for the arduous and responsible duties that will devolve upon it. Its Chairman, Mr. Jno. C. Wilson, is a hard worker, is level-head ed, conservative and prompt; and he will find a ready and able support in the other members. We will not let this occasion pass without a word of appreciation of the former County Chairman, Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell. It is expressing the univer sal sentiment of the Democratic party of this County when we say, that during his term of office he discharged his du ties with marked ability, with unselfish and unpartisan zeal and with perfect satisfaction. The Convention made a mistake in the selection of OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION; we don't say it didn't select good oiii cers, for Mr. Hardy makes a first-rate President-he is well posted oa parlia mentary rules, is fair, prompt and pa tient, and no better selection could have been made. Dr. McIntosh, the Vice President, is one of the best presiding officers we have ever seen; and Dr. Folk, the Assistant Secretary, is labori ous and pains-taking. The mistake consists in electing these officers for two years. The Constitution says: "The County Convention shall not be a per manent body ;" it further says, "Each Convention shall elect its own officers, which shall be a President, a Vice President and an Assistant Secretary." The election of these officers for two years was an oversight, which can be remedied at the adjourned meeting. The only permanent oflicers are bhe Ex ecutive Committee, the Secretary and the Treasurer. The Convention ne glected to elect a Treasurer; but this omission can be supplied when it meets again. The resolution in regard to the JUNE CONVENTION expresses the sentiment of this County, and was properly adopted by a unani mous vote. A strong and determined effort has been made by certain sections of the State to force the nomination of State officers at the June Convention, which meets to-day, (Tuesday); but we think the opposition will be strong enough to prevent such an unwise step -unwise, because it would precipitate upon the people a long can.vass, that would interfere very seriously with their material prosperity. The State needs repose; the business interests of the people, and especially of the farm ers, require it. It will be impossible to defer the campaign after the nomina tion of State officers; and, therefore, these nominations should be deferred to as late a period as is consistent with safety. "A short, sharp and decisive campaign" is best, anyway. We think, however, that the Conven tion made a mistake in not sending del egates to the CONGRESSIONAL AND THE JUDICIAL CON VENTIONS; not because these nominations should e made in June, for we agree with the Convention that they should be deferred till after the State nominations. But the Convention should have provided' for every emergency. Several other Counties in this District send delegates; Anderson sends a delegation pledged solidly to Orr; Oconee and Pickens send uninstructed and divided dele gations; Richland sends an uninstruct ed and uncertain delegation. Laurens, Abbeville and Lexington send solid Aiken delegations. Newberry ought to have done the same, with instructions to postpone the nomination if possible, but if not, then to cast the vote of the County for Aik.en. We don't think a nomination will be made to-day ; but it is always better to be on the safe side. If the opponents of Aiken should find themselves in the majority to-day they might force the nomination. .A reso lution ENDORSING CONGRESSMAN AIKEN, and recommending his renomination, caused some debate. A motion was made to table the resolution; but it was lost by an overwhelming vote. The view held by those who opposed the resolution was that it wvas out of place; that it did not come within the line of business for which the Convention had assebled. This view of the case, we think, was entertained by a large pro portion of the Convention; it was cer tainly entertained by some of Col. Ai ken's 'warmest admirers and supporters. But the resolution having been offered to have tabled it would have given to the outside pub4lic thje impression that Newberry County was opposed to Col. Aiken's re-election, which is by no means the case. To prevent such an inpression going abroad many dele gates voted for the resolution who re= garded it as out of place and ill-timed. The County Constitution says the Con vention "shall be called together for a specie purpose or purposes, which shall be stated in the call, but it may, with ut previous notie, at upon any mat ter,.of detail or any unforeseen exigen cy." There was nothing in the call which authorized such a resolution; it was not a matter of detail, and it was not a matter of unforeseen exigency; it ight ~gave properly coe uer the lact h~.~t1 if' *1u~ flrrn~pntInn had sent having been introluced, however nn- 0F wisely, it became necessary, in justice to Col. Aiken, to adopt it-which was da done by a vote almost unanimous. The n practice of Conventions lauding public an officers is a bad one-it has a deniwral- M izing tendency, and is calculated to ra; make an officer more careful of gaining ph popularity than of doing his duty. The ini line of duty is not always the line of hii popularity, and herein lies the danger. A representative who does the best he Lu can only does his duty, and the con sciousness or having done this, added to the emoluments of ofice, is a sufliient ij recompense. These remarks are not made with :ny special reference to Col. 0 Aiken. Those who have read the HER ALD know that it has been a consistent supporter of Col. Aiken "tbrough thick Oi col and thin"; that it has time and again commended his course in Congress, and advocated his re-election. In common with, we believe, nine-tenths of the vo ters of New berry County we hope to see Col. Aiken renominated and re-elected; tor but we are opposed to indiscriminate and unnecessary laudation by County Conventions of any public officer- as whether he he Col. Aiken or Senator 1 Hampton, or any other man. A Flood cf Crime-Homicide Epidemic. Mr. Thos. W. Blease, who lived in Edgefield County, was shot and killed Pr by Andrew I. Gardner yesterday (Mon- e day) morning, the weapon used being a double-barrel shot-gun. The shoot- V Va ing occurred in Mr. Blease's store and was the result of a personal difficulty. Gardner was Mr. B.'s son-in-law, having married his daugh ter last January. Gardner formerly lived in this County, and acted for a Th while as deputy for ex-Sheriff Carring ton. Mr. Blease was a brother of Mr. Co J. Hart Blease and Mr. Henry H. Blease, and the father of Mr. W. H. Blease. Gardner has fled. Mr. E;lease was buried to-day at the ne Old Grave Yard in town. Sp The way we have heard it is this: The two had had a falling out early in shi the morning, but had made friends. tur Shortly afterwards Mr.' $lease opened the store door and walked in, not know- be; ing that Mr. 'Gardner was inside, but im, thinking he had gone to the field. As he entered Gardner fired a load of buck- im shot into. his right side; Mr. B. whirled pa round and he fired the other load into , his left side.

Death ensued in twenty-four hours. HE The negro that was shot had a very bad reputation. Col. Keitt, to whiom o he formerly belonged, and Mr. Hodges both say he was the biggest rogue in the country. Mr. H. had forbidden him ac4 several times from coming on his place.W Josh caught him some time ago at- th~ tempting to steal from his (Josh's) house, and shot at him.
