OUR REASONS.
We wish to submit to the candid
judgment of our readers, our reas
ons for being in favor of holding
only one State Convention.
In the first place, one convention
would be less expensive and less
troublesome, by half, than two con
ventions. Those who live in town
can easily and conveniently attend
the meetings of clubs and conven
tions, but we fancy that those who
live in the country have something
else to do. If the State Convention
in June fails to nominate a State
ticket, a later convention must be
held for that purpose. This would
make it necessary for the Democrat
ic clubs of the country 'to meet
again, for the purpose of electing
delegates to another County Con
vention which would be required to
send delegates to the second State
Convention. We do not believe
that we should shrink from expense
and annoyance when they are de
m.inded by thorough party organi
;ation; but we are opposed to con
stant and unnecessary political agi
tation, and we shall have enough o
that without going out of our way
to seek it. Besides the general
election next fall, there will be at
least two primary elections, and the
danger is that the enthusiasm of
everybody but the candidates will
ba expended before we enter the
regular canvass.
In the second place, we have
sought in vain for some good reas
on why the State ticket should not
be nominaced and the whole thing
got rid of in June. It has been
intimated that those who are in fa
vor of June nominations wish to
'-foist tile old ticket upon the people
before their minds are made uip,'
but there is absolutely no merit in
such talk. The people will surely
know by .June 26. whether they
wish to re-nominate tile old ticket.
It seems to us that th2 people of
thlis State are intelligent enough to
decide in eighteen months whether
a ticket suits the-m. Teose who
will not have made up their minds
oIn tile subject by tile meeting of
tile Convention, are either indiffer
ent about the matter, or have no
minds to make up. Those who
have slates to make up, may want
further time-may want two con
v-entions, in order to lay their plans;
but wve canlnot thlink that the State
is under any obligations to the
slate-mnakers.
It has been said that tile State
ticket should be nomlinlated after
tile Presidenltial nomination; and
that the canlvass would be too long
if nlomfinaVtionls were made in June.
The answer to thlese objections is
shlrle enloughl. It makes no dif
ference who may be nominated for
the Presidency, or what p)latformn
may be constructed byv the Nation
al (Convention. tile D)emocratic p)ar
tv (of this State will vote for that
nominlee and stand on that plat
form, as it has :dways done. Ev-ery
body knows this to be true. There
is. therefore. no reason whly we
shlould incar the troulble and ex
penlse of a seconld conv-ention, ill
orde-r to nlominate thle State ticket
and miake a State platform after
the meetinlg of tile National Con
vention.
As to the long canvass, there is
no reason why the canvass should
begin as soon as tile ticket is nom
inated. Thlat matter could be eas
ily airrangJed. The Convention
could decide, or could authorize the
State Executive Comnmittee to de
cide, when the canvass shall open.
and there would be no trouble
about it. So far as we are able to
see at p)resent there will be little
need of a vigorous canvass.
We see ro well-founded reason
against June nominations, but we
do see reasons in their favor. One
convention can do the work that is
required, as satisfactorily as two,
at just one halt the cost of time and
trouble, and we do not think tilat
two conventions should be held
simply because the thing can be
done.
We are not riding anybody'
hobby; we are not grooming any~
political horse, dark or otherwise;I
.nd we ma nol canrdlah tn- AIW
oftice under the sun; yet we think
that the public interest demands.
rather than forbids, that we hold
only one State convention. ]
COL. COWARD'S PETITION. j
Some time ago Col. Coward,
Superintendent of Education. sent .
a petition to one of our citizens
with the request that he obtain sig
natures to it. The petition asked
Federal aid for the common schools
Very few persons signed the peti
tion, and an editorial appeared in
the Obserrer, which, we fear, was
construed as indicating that the
work of obtaining signers was aban
doned because the sentiment of our
community was against it. Such
was not the case.
As a matter of fact, the gentle
man who had the petition in hand
presented it to some twelce persons,
the nujority of ?-hom signed it. He
did not canvass our town, simply
because he did not have the time,
and felt no particular interest in
the matter. We do not know what
would have been the result if the
town had been thoroughly canvass
ed but we do know that the petition
was not chilled by public sentiment
in our community. We make this
statement as an act of simple jus
tice to those who signed the peti
tion, as well as those who would
have signed it, if it had been pre
sented to them.

THE SUMTER PIHGRIM.
WASIsGTO , June 1.-In the
Senate reception room at the Capi
tol yesterday I met an old gentle
man whom Senator 1sutler informed
me was Capt. Robert W. Andrews,
of Sumter. South Carolina. iIe
claims to be ninety-three years old,
and is engaged in walking from
Sumter to Boston to visit a son re
siding in the latter city. The
Captain wears heavy brogan shoes,
his p)antaloons5 are of a light check.
and his vest is of a gray material,
won over what appears to be a
linen coat. There was no coat over
the vest, but the entire outfit was
covered with a thick grey shawl.
IIis hat is a lighit-colored slouch.
Iis face is wrinikled and his hair
and whiskers are white. His eyes
ar brignt and his step is as light
as any mans could be with such
shoes. iIe exp)lained the absence
of an apper coat by saying that the
shawl was more convenient, as he
could take it off in the heat of the
da and cover himself with it when
the cold evening canme on.
The Captain says lie has a wife
and ten children, all of the latter
being married. In 1812 he drove
from Statesburg. MIass., to Charles
on S. C., and biack. making the
trip in six months. iIe is making
his present trip on foot simply for
pleasulre, as he p)uts it, and to no
tice the ebianges in the country
through which he travelled so many
years a'go. Ilis only companion is
a little black dog "which he calls

WILLIMSTON, S. C. May .0. '84.
3r. Edilor: My attention has just
een called to sonei remarks made in
he Newberry Obserrer of the 22nd init.,
y its "mali on the wing,'' relative to
he recent excursion from Newberry
o Williamston. I beg a little space
,f you that I may reply to a few of
he flings of this badly balanced aid
'al "on the wing."
If one's words are an index to his
haracter, we would not deem the low
brusts in the Ob.ercr worthy of no
ice, but the fact that they are publish
A in a paper read, we presume, by
lie intelligent citizens of Newherry.

me pay his respects to this featherless
nonstrosity 'on the wing.'Williamston
uas been congratulating herself that
luring this season all the excursion

.omposed of the best elements of so
iety and especially was she delight

ion our people, and made their visit
o the townrt memorable. We had
ioped too that the good people of

>leasant recollections of their visit to
ur town, and might be induced to
ake us another in the not distant
uture. But lo! ere a fortnight had

>arbarous manner? or why wel e the

Mr. Editor, Willianston is not what
he would like to be. The Spring
mark is not as n:icely lixed up as we
vould desire; her houses are not as
alrge and elegant as some folks like;
ier church editices are not as grand as
hose of other towns perhaps, but her
;eople are civil and decorous, and
Chen visitors are disposed to tind
ault and criticise, so long as they con
in: themselves to the truth, her
eople are quiet and ready to submit
ith all the dignity at their command,
)t when bold misrepresentations are
nade then is she ready to rise to a
ioint of order.
-"S." the Obs,serr's flying man. either

one of it at least, is unworthy of a

hours-At stratford.
STRtATFOI D, CT., May 30, '84.
Do they miss me at home? I
wonder. But few knew that I left
Newberry, Saturday the 24th. I
did nevertheless, and remained in
Columbia until Tuesday. That in
terinediate time was pleasantly oc
cupied, and among the incidents
was a visit to the Penitentiary,
which institution I was glad to see
bad been improved to a most won
derful degree. New buildings have
been erected since my last visit. The
Stocking Factory and the Shoe
Manufactory, have each been in
fused with greater energy, and
have increased in size, the convicts
being placed together as close as
peas in a pod, or after the manner
of sardines in a box-here the
comparison fails however, for only
in their compact appearance is
there any resemblance. It is a
busy hive, every one works, and
under a beautiful, regular system,
every thing and every one is made
to contribute to the general whole.
Certainly Col. T. J. Lipscomb has
proven himself the right man in
the right place. le wins golden
opinions from every direction. I
had almost forgot to say that the gar
den under the supervision of Capt.
Sligh, received the encomiums of the
entire party who accompanied me.
It is certainly the finest vegetable
garden I ever beheld. The okra
and tomatoes give promise of much
gumbo to the convicts in the near
future-happy convicts-delicious
gumbo.
Tuesday at 12 50, the Iron Horse
refreshed and strengthened by a
few dozen of pine logs and a sup
ply of water left Columbia and
reached Charlotte at 6 o'clock.
Here we halted for an hour, stepped
out and viewed the "scene so charm
ing" as presented from that side of
the city. Time being limited of
course not much was to be seen
and consequently there is not
much to write about-I can safe
ly say however that Charlotte
is a handsome city; her resi
dences, many of them, palatial, and
her equipages stylish in the extreme
Leaving this point at 7, our noble
steed bounded away for Danville,
where an exchange was made both
of coaches and horse, and my opin
ion is that unless boot was given
much loss was sustained in the
swap, for that nights r.de which be
gan at 12 and continued until 8
next morning was one of the most
fcarful I ever exp)erienced. Whieth
er the road bed was in need of
a thorough working-over, or the
trucks and springs of the coach in,
which it was my unhappy experi
ence to ride that night, I know not,
but I do know that I suffered as I
never did before, and never wish to
again. On my return I shall give
the Virginia Midland a wide berth,
and try some other route. Our Lau
rens road will compare favorably
with the road just mentioned. This
stop) was made at Washington-the
stop) where Garfield was stricken
down was pointed out to me. The
exact spot is marked by a star in
the flagged flooting, and on the wall
in front of it is a marble tablet
bearing the name of the unfortunate,
victim and the date of the assassin's
murderous assault. With saddened
feelings I turned away. Trhiis hap
p)ened in the Washington D)epot.
flhe Capitol is not far off but I did
not visit it, my atnaomy being too
severely shaken up the night before
by the Midland ride. Leaving
Washington at 8.40, Baltimore and
PhiladelIphia were p)assed rapidlly
through and New York reached at
5.40. The rapidity of this trip is
truly wonderful, and occupied from
Columbia to New York twenty-four
and one half hours, omitting four
hours of dletention on the way at
differe;;t p)oints. It looks incredi
ble but the fact is indisputable.
The city ot New York looked as it
did fouri years ago, the~ same look
ot b)u tle and( whirl. North river or
Iludi(son which sep)arates .Jersey
city from New York, was filled with
boats of every size and description,
through which the immense Ferry
boat covee teSouthern pas

On every side, the news boys with
their afternoon editions are as nu
merous as ever, and the fact is evi
dent that you are in New York. A
ridle in a stage from the Ferry to
the Central Decpot occupied another
hour, and on the boat and in the
stage I sutTered as much from the
cold as I have ever in the depth of
winter. The sudden change in
tempel)rature was fearful to me, my
blood from recent illness being
very thin. My traveling compan
ions di i not experience the cold
as I did, and endeavored to con
vince mec that it was all imaginary,
"but y-ou may convince a man
against his will and he is of the
same opinion still,'' and my feelings
together with the killing frost of
last night are proof sufficient that
there wats reason in my chilliness.
Refreshed with hot coffee, 8 o'clock
found me and my pleasant party
on the last quarter of the home
stretch, bound for Stratford. At
10.30 the long ride terminated.
My good old friend, Styles Hurd,
met us, and in a few minutes we
were all houssd, and after a cup of
hot tea, the thi::g in order was bed,
leaving the many questions and
answers to be asked and answered
unil mar.iing
Dear reader, you have followed
me over the road from home to
Stratford, and here with your kind
permission I will rest for a few
days, ere taking up the tangled
thread of my remarks again.
SOUTH CAROLINA SYNOD.
At the recent meeting of the S.
C. Synod it was decided to open
the Lutheran Theoiogical Semicary
at Newberry, in connection with
Newberry College, under the name
of "The Evangelical Lutheran The
ological Seminary of the South."
Rev. D. M. Gilbert, D. D , of Va.,
was elected Professor of Theclogy
in the Seminary. It is intended
that the faculty of the Seminary
shall be assisted by the College
faculty and in turn shall assist that
faculty, both inetitutions being thus
benefited. The Seminary has a
fund which yields $1,200 a year,
and the Professor's salary has been
placed at $1,200.
The Synod decided to receive
Newberry College building and as
sume the balance of $400 still due
on it.
The Democratic County Con
vention of Anderson met last Sat.
urday and elected separate dele
gates to the State, Congressional
and Judicial Conventions. The del
egates to the State Convention
were instructed to advocate the
postponement of the State nomina
tions nntil August. The delegates
to the Congressional tnd Judicial
Convention were instructed to vote
for Col. E. B.Murray for Congress,
and Col. J. L. Orr for Solicitor, as
long as their names are before the
Conventions. Col. Orr and Col.
George Johstone were present and
made some brief remarks after the
business of the meeting was over.

and for beeves. we cannot deliver the
meats as heretofore.
While this is but a mite to our cus
tomers, it is quite an object to us. We
only want in addition to our regular

Knowing that the Cash trade for the Summer w
cessarily be tight and not desiring to do any credit
ness, we have this day determined to MARK DO
our goods to such low prices that every one will find it to
his interest to buy our goods at Spot Cash
Prices. Therefore we have cut down our prices on
Clothing; Shoes, and Hats
From 10 to 15 per cent. preferring to make a very small
profit rather than to have a large quaniity of goods on hand
at the beginning of another season. Ve|mean what we say
as you will very readily perceive from a comparison of
former prices, and in comparison with others' prices. We
have certain lines of Staw $ats that we are
closing out it S0c. on the $1.00. We call the attention of
the ladies specially to our line of Opera Slip
pers in all qualities and at all prices.
Trunks at Cost!
WNe still have a few Gents and Ladies fine Zinc. and
Leather Trunks which we will sell at Factory prices to
close out.
The (lash is what we want
and we must have it!
