A Cood Suggestion. A merdhant on Mollohon Row sug gests that the candidates be required to furnish at least one barbecue a week from now till primary election day for the benetit of the few who are not run Ding. Out on Bail. Policeman Eli Franklin, charged with the killing of Ike boston the 7th. was brought before Trial Justices Carlisle and Packer Saturday on a writ of Ha beas Corpus, and gave bail in the sum of $500. Todd's Hash Was most excellent and would not have been more like barbacue hash if it had been made for a first class bar bacue. Do so again, friend Todd-let us have hash as often as possible, the meat we get now cooked in any other way is indigestible. Bargains. -A chance by which every man and bey in Newberry County can be made happy is offered by Mr. M. L. Kinard. He will sell his large stock of Summer Clothing at cost, and as he means just what he says bargains can be had. His stock is large in variety. A Town Clock Is still spoken of, and would be a great benefit to the town if placed in the Hotel tower. One man proposes to give $20. towards it, another $10, others $5, and so on. The money could be raised without much trouble.. What say the Council and the citizens gene rally? ______ The Nimble Pistol. Two negro youths on Mr. Juo. C. Goggans' place a few days ago, got into a difficulty when one plugged the other in the breast with a pistol. The ball passed nearly through the body; but the wound is not considered dan gerous. The shooting party has ilot been arrested. Another Pic Nic. The good ladies of New Chapel neighborhood will have one of tbeir delightful pic nie to-day Wednesday, to which in their kindness they have invited the editors of the Hmm. On this happy occasion the Woman's Mis sionary Society, and Cousin Mattie Boyd's Singiikg Class will be heard from. We will try very hard to find time to attend. The Worker and Thinker. This is the tittle of a new paper started in Washington. D. C., by Mr. J. S. Duffle, a native of this State. It is devoted to the discussion of industrial pursuits, arts and science,' and will make a speciality of patents, an office for the sale of which is opened by him. We wish him success. The paper is published -monthly at 50 cents per year. Thanks Are tendered Messrs. T. W. Dantz -ler and H. S. Ewart, Committee, for an invitation to attend the Inter-State Glass Ball Contest, to take . place in Hendersonvalle, N. C., on the 28th of July. .It will be a large affair, all the Gun Clubs in the State being in vited, and the whole will be appropria tely closed with a Grand Ball. For the benefit of the public we state Ihat the Rail Roads will offer excursion rates. For the Mountains. Attention is calHed to the card of Mr. L. M. More, who will run an exeursion b-ain on Friday. the 20th,. inst., from Prosperity to Greenville and back, fare for the round trip only $1,50. 'This is a favorabl1e opportunity to visit the Mountain City and:the Paris Mountains. as arrangements have been made with the hacks to take pleasure seekers to that point for 50-cents. We learn that it will be a first-class train. This is atn inrvestment that will pay finely. Barbecues, &c. 3tr. J.J.-Hipp willgivea Baibecue at hjis house four miles from Pomaria Saturday next. A big crowd will be on hand, besides the candidates-they will all be there. There- will be a Temperance Picnic at Hopewell Church the 23d. The people of Clinton will give a rousing barbecue at Clinton Thuirsday the 5th of August. The Barbecue at Soule's Chapel Sat urday last was largely attended. Tbe Laurens and~the Newberry ~candidates were out in full force, 'and several 'of them were called on for speeches. On the part of our eandidates Messrs. Lips aomb, T. C. Brown, Chalmers, Nance, and others responded. The crowd was very quiet and orderly ; no drunkenness and no bad feeling. A Roil of Honor. The tidal -wave of sympathy for famine-stricken Ii-eland, which swept with irresistible force over the whole United States, has exhausted itself, but there are stifl here and there pitying and generous hearts who re member that this distress in Ireland, though materially lessened, has not yet eased, and who give effect to their charitable> thoughts by deeds of active benevolence. The latest instance of this kind that we are called on.to note is that of the Town Council of Newberry, consisting of Intendant J. P. Pool, and Wardens J. Y. McFall, D. W. T. Kib ler, D. M. Ward and Geo. A. Langford, thrnncvh our cur Juvenile Festival. The Juvenile Templars, Newberr Temple No. 4, propose to imitate th old folks by having an Ice Cream Fe: tival, at McCaugbrin's H:ll, on Thur: day evening, 29th of July, on whic occasion they promise to look thei prettiest and do their best. We bav not learned the object whether it is t build a hall or to raise a fund for th defeate. candidates, but whatever it i let the hall be full, that their littli hearts may be glad. Schoo! Pic Nic. The pic nic of Miss Janie Smith' School - on Saturday' last in the grovo near Mrs. Maycs' residence is reportei to us as one of the best of the season There were about five hundred people little and big, assembled on the ground and the dinner was just such a one a. might have been expected from th< people of that section. The school ex bibition consisted of speeches and dia logues which were entertaining an( creditable. Addre ses were made bl Geo. Johnstone, Esq., and- Prof. G. B Cromer. A pleasant- thing to nientior is that the company was quiet and wel behaved and that not a jar occurred tc uiar the general enjoynient. Talking in Church. We can think of no.more reprehensi ble practice than talking in churel during service, and we ire glad to sai that as a" general rule our young peopl show their manners in this respect, and it is rare that the exception is noticed We regret to say that on Sunday night it the Methodist Church there was a breact of good breeding so marked as to claim wide attention. In a prominent place and almost under the pulpit a smal] tilk was maintained almost without in terruption during the entire remarks of the, preacher, and during singing ii became more animated. We trust thih may not occur again or we shall be more particular. Complimentary. The Abbeville Press and Jianner has this to say of our esteemed townsman, Dr. Jas. McIntosh, on the delivery of at address at the Anniversary Meeting 01 the Medical Society of Abbeville: The audience frequently gave evi dence of their high appreciation of this address. The Doctor's fine speech, con taining so much beauty of thought, and expressed as it was in the most pleasing manner, won for him the respect and admiration of our people. Newberry is fortunnate in having as a 'citizen, so polished a gentleman and so eminent a physician. We hope that the Doctor may find itegreeable and profitable tc him to come among us again. We know that our ladies will always be glad-to see a man who expresses so high a respect for them. We sball look for him at our next annmversary. The Population of Newberry County. Two weeks ago we published the new~ ensus of population for this County ex ept. that from Townships 2 and 5, which was not then in. This week we ive the census- in full. Persons will o well to cut this piece out for future reference: ownships. 1s70. 1880, N.1.......--...-.--..4.3..4,42 No. 6...................... - ,713..... 8'50 No.37........... ................1 .....,0 No. 8......... .............,7.....,3 No.79....... .......... --.-.1,01..... 230 No. 10......................1,65...,6 No. 11...................--. 2,061....2414 Total....... ...............22665 26.550 The population of the Town of New erry is 2,347; the decrease of 445 from .870 can be accounted for only on the round that the census of 1870 was icorrect and too large-the population has not decreased that much, if at all. The Bush River Pic Nic Friday was an exceedingly pleasant ocasion. There was not a large crowd present, but just enough to make it a nice, sociable gathe;-ng. Most of the cmpany were young people-andecsn idates.; the latter turning out in force, and enjoying the day finely. They are etermined to have a good time if they don't get elected. Their electioneering was very informal, and consisted chiefly in forming new acquaintances. Now and then one of them would porner a voter and give him a "set to"; they call this "swearing 'em in". The candi dates are a fine-looking set of men. and 'nae a good impression. The Bush iver voters would like to vote for them all if they could. Another class of candidates present carried on a vigorous canvass in bug gies, under shade trees and in other se cluded retreats; they wanted only one vote. Some of therm, we hope, were elected.. Everybody was sociable and friendly, the dinner was excellent, and altogether the day passed off most pleasantly.' Buy your (JOnfeetkagerjeS of all kindE from A. C. Jones. 19-tf.

He is living at Yorkville, and weighs 180 pounds. The Rev . J. 0. Willson, of Camden, who has been on a visit to Rev. J. B. Campbell for the past two weeks, left on Thursday for the mountains. Rev.

Swaffield from Swafflield's popular tailoring establishment Columbia, was in town Wednesday and Thursday and took several orders. Russell Jackson, of Columbia, a chip of the 'old block, and the joy of lis parents is here on a visit. He is lucky in being so popular that his head quarters are all about. His first after noon was spent in one of our fruit trees. Hon. George Johnstone of Newber ry, has been in Columbia for several days attending to his duties as a mem ber of the State Executive Committee. He bears his defeat for Solicitor as he does every adverse fortune, like a true man. There are better things in store for him if the people of his district have as high an appreciation of his worth and abilities as the people of this section have for the gallant young member fro' Newberry.-Columbia Begister, 16th. Rev. J. B. Campbell on Dueling. Sunday morning ReY. J. B. Camp bell, of the Methodist Church, announ ced that he would preach at night on the subject of dueling. A large con gregation assembled to hear him. He took his text from the 13th chapter and 20th verse of Exodus-"Thou shalt not kill." He said, in substance: Dueling is becoming a common practice in this State; five or six have occurred this year in which citiz.ens of this State were concerned. Tbis .fat is ga evidence of a morbid state of public feeling. It is a lamentable fact that it is considered a manly way of settling difficulties to in vite a man out upon the field and give him an equal chance. The particular point in the case is the moral quality of dueling. 1. It is murder, without qualification or discount-murder in the irst degree. It is the killing of a hurman< being-if not in fact still in principle. I He that desires to slay his fellow inani is a murderer at heart. It is murder] in both, 2. It is premeditated; not I the result of passion or impulse. The duelist enters into the matter coolly and deliberately ; practices for it; thinks and converses about it, and Mithqut re- 1 ard for' the laivs of God or man, pre pares to take the life of his fellow nian. It doesn't matter what the "Code" says,t or a vitiated public opinion says, or the, laxity of the Courts says-it is rmurder. 3. There is probably po tie case ina i hundred wh'ere the offence would jus tify killing even in sudden heat 'and passion. 4. Probably no case that could not be settled otherwise. If offence be iven and the offender refuses to make mends friends may intercede; if he still refuses he is beneath your notice. 5. It is a risk of one's own life-a de termnation to kill or be killsd. It .is sad enough to see one killed in excit.e ment, but to see him deliberately go out to be shot at shows the turpitude of the affair; it heightens the offence. It is no evidence of chivalry or courage Ithus to expose one's gwp life. 6. Ha tred enters into the duel, ap4 is at the bottom of it; and "he tiiat hateth his brother is a murderer." 7. Revenge en-.1 ters into it. The Lord has said "yen geance is mine." A man becomes his ownr arbitrator, and it is so easy for him to go beyond what is propet. 4. It is murder under the laws.of the Country. A few realsons why all shonld be oppo-1 sed to duelling. 1st. It tends to lower the type of our civilization:- to inculcate into the minds of the rising generation that to be tru.e and brav.e men they1 must be skillful with the pistol. 2nd. ] A duel never settles a difficulty. How can a dead nian give or receive satis faction for a wrong done or a wrong suffered 9 Gqd forbid that any m~an should be satisfied with such a result.1 rd. It plunges families into the bitter est grief. If you succeed. you have made a widow and orphans, or done an irreparable injury to thyse whowae in inncent and Who U4pe never harmed you. It is no small matter to drape a whole ~household in mourning and to remove from a family its head and sup port. 4th. It sends a soul unprepared into the ptlber Wyprld. Can a man who dies in a duel go to Heavene PI can't settle that question. 'But how canl a man be prepared for Heaven who dies with revenge, hatred and a desire to kill in his heart? 5th. It is imperiling your own lip3 With the ights before klia a man cannot send or accept a challenge withi out violating the dictates of his own coiscieice and reason. Varios anc$ all About.

Last week was remarkable for tbe number of chickens and eggs brought to market-prices, too, are getting more moderate. A full grown goose was bought here Wednesday for 10 cents. Its age is doubtful. It may find its way to I Campmeeting. Evans is getting up a grand excursion to the land of the skies-a big crowd will go this time. The mountains are the great attraction. Newberry never was healthier than at present, and is such a pleasant place besides that we do not wonder visitors like to sojourn here. The number of new subscribers added to our list is very gratifying. We thank you, friends, and will welcome all who come in. Uncle Teague Leavell is spare in looks but has a heart as big as the big gest, and is full of the milk of human kindness. A farmer in this County wants to cut lown a bee tree but is afraid it would rail on a candidate, and will postpone t till after the 28th of August. A little fellow who attended the Bush LRiver picnic Friday reported at home .ht he saw "a heap of 'kittydinks.' " )f course, he meant candidates. Capt. Jas. N. Lipscomb presented is this morning with a ripe tomato veighing a fraction over eighteen >unces. He will accept our thanks. Tom Lane's hash at the Bush River Vic Nic was as niee as any we ever put inder our vest. We like Tom and like uis free t};d hegrty way of doing things.

Wyatt Aiken was lected to Congress expires on the 4th of farch next, and a conlventioal to nonlinate i candidate to. fill the vacancy will be held lring the present summer, the friends of he honorable gentleman whose name is at he head of this communication, will respect lly gyge is norryination as one well gualIi jed by chara teY,ilbility an4. egcpexience to -epreseut thei3d Congressional Thistr'iht in the 17th Congress, Cdl; Wallace enitered public. ife in -early manhood and serired for three ;cessive terms in the State Legislature be-, ore the war, of' which.body he was sn active id useful member, of broad and liberal iews, and an earnest advocate of the Blue .idge Railroad, which at that time was the great qdiestioq bet&re top Legislatgre. In politics he was a secessionist, advocating separate State action as the only practicable means of producing co-operation for the for ation of a Souther'i Confederacy, and when war enszed, he was amnong the first to vol. duteer and the last to dyrrender. He comn manded the 2d S. C. Regiment of Infantry, and earned a reputation for courage and ca pacity of which any one might "e proud, having on one occasion, when our centre was pierced at Second Cold Harbor and our breastworks occupied by the enemy, by a bold dash with his single regiment succeeded in re-establishing~ the-line and drivinig out nearly ten times his number. After the war he was elected a member of the convention of 1865 and introduced a resolution which resulted in the deputing of three of our rnost venerable and distinguished citigens5, the honorables D. L. Wardlew, Thomas N. Daw kins and Alfre'd 'Hager to intercede oii be hal of the people of South Carolina with the Government at Washington, for thle release of President Davis who was they in prison, loaded with -hains and ywalting hIs trial for treason. Co . Wallace was also a mnember nti *hp fh-gr T.po-idAtnre which met after the effort to throw them off. In 1876 he was a zealous advocate of the straightout policy and wrote to Gen. Hampton, who was then in Mississippi, requesting him to head the m"avenment, and in August of that year when the convention assembled, in a caucus of the straightout party, he urged the policy of putting on the ticket with Hampton the lead ing'Chamberlain Democrats, as the only way to unite the people and save the State. At that convention. Col. Wallace was appointed a Presidential elector for the 3d Congres sional District, and contributed by his earn c.st and eloquent efforts on the stump to tan the flames of patriotism, which scorched and blasted and finally drove from the State the miscreants who had so long robbed our peo ple and. desecrated their temples of justice and their legislative halls.

G. S. WATERMAN, Druggist. TIRe R~tEtIDuel. A Letter from Senator Butler.. EDGEFIELD C. Ii., July 19, 1880. Messrs. Riordan & .Dawson D&An sS: I want to say to.you hat you have my hearty endorse itent in the position you have taken in referenee to the ash-Slannop bragedy. It is no refl'ection upon he memory of the gallant genfle men of the past who resorted to the Saello to settle- their personal dif erences to ask that the law be yin licated jg thia pae In fore days thie most punctilious decorum and chivalric courtesy distinguish ed the conduct of gentlemen in "af fairs of honor," and coarse ribaldry and gesconade in p.oneponence was a~s"odid&iseas'the brand of cow ardice; but now the "swashibuckler style" appears to be fashionable. The issue is very sharply made between those who trem~ple law de antly under foUt and those who execute it, and I hope that courage enough may be found to execute it. It vwil be a s,ad day foi 'buth Carolia wvhen gentleman who feels it to be his personal or profes sional duty to ~vindicate private rights in our courts, is first to. be insulted, pursued, villified and goaded to desperation, and then shot. If t gt if go b,e the plane which gur civihgation is to occupy, we shall all be sleeping on our arms. And there must be something rad ically wrog in a publio send~ment which can force a; mani of Shan non's high character and acknowi edged courage to fight a duel under the circumstances whioh surr-ound ed him, It is abogt ?inge we were finding out where we are, and as certaining whether "border ruffian ism" is to govern this country or whether civilized institutions shall be maintained. I express no opinion on the mer its of: this'difficulty for I know no. thing about it, except what .I have seen in the public prints ; but~ I do venture the opinion that it is the first time in the his tory.of due1lip~ his clients in the courts against parties who had themselves gone into the courts. It is without a parallel either in the issue made or the manner of its conduct. You are doing your share of public duty in a proper manner -pardon me for saying so-and I believe that nine tenths of the re spectable people of the state will sustain you. You may count on my doing so in any way that I properly may. Very truly yours, &c., M. C. BUTLER. FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. OSBORNE L. SCHUMPERT, ESQ., is re spectfully suggested to the Democrats of New berry County-subject to Primary Elec tion-as a gentleman eminently qualified by his experience, legal ability and high character, to represent the County in the House of Representatives of the State Legislature. .MANY DEMOCRATS.
