For County Treasurer, CONVEN~TION, OR PRIA tY ? One of oi'r correspondents has expressed t'.e desire to know why the congressmen should not be nominated by Primary Election, if the Primary Election is the best mode of nominating county officers. It would be hard to explain why. Personally, we dislike the Primary Election; or, rather, we dislike the canvass that immediately precedes It. It is a very heavy drain upon the political enthusiasm of the country, and we believe that it pro vokes ill-feeling between neighbors. and causes private enmities that will last a life-time. In our county the canvass has been altogether too long, and it has not been properly managed-in truth, it has not been managed at all. While we dislike the Primary Election as a mode of making nom Inations, we cannot close our eyes to the truth that it is more demo cratie than the nominating con vention, and gives more general satisfaction. We cannot, therefore, oppose it, And we do not hesitate 'to say, that if' the Primary Election is the best thing for county purpo. ses, it is also best for the purpose of making congressional nomina tions. Recent dead-locks in con gressional nominating conventions seem to indicate that the people will have to discard the convention and resort'- to something else, if they want the nomiajees to repro. sent their choice. By holding the Primary -Elections in the various counties composing a Congression al District, on the same day, t he oongressman could bd nominated without additional trouble. Artemus \iard said, with quaint drollery, "It would have been ten dollars in Jeff Davis's pocket if he had never been born." Just so. And it would have been ten dollars apiece in the pockets of several of our fellow citizens if they had never entered the primary canvass. Mr. W. W. Russell, the leader of the Greenbackers in the upper partI of the St'ate, is pleased withAiken's I nomination and will support him. Wie is for 1bla'une, but ha. no vote t~a re m hainff failed to eqis.:i A DIFFERENCE. On the day of his election as 3overnor of New York, Grover Dleveland wrote a private letter to als brother, in which he used this ,anguage: "The thought that has troubled ne is, Can I well perform my c:uties, md in such a manner as to do some rood to the people of the State ? I will tell you, first of all others, the policy that I intend to adopt, and that is to make the matter a busi aess engagement between the pec. ple of the State and myself, in which the obligation on my side is to perform the duties assigned me with an eye single to the interest of my employers." That means personal and official integrity; and it means that public office is a public trust. The letter was not intended for the public, and it reveals somewhat of the pri vate character of the man who wrote it. While James G. Blaine held the important and very influential po sition of Speaker of the National House of Representatives, he lent his official aid to certain legislation in favor of a railroad in Arkansas. He afterwards wrote private letters to certain men connected with the road in a business way; called to their attention the service that he had done them; - and told them that, if they would allow him to participate in the new rail. road enterprise, he felt that he would not prove a dead-head, as he "saw various channels in which he could be useful." That means personal dishonor and official corruption; it means that public office is to be bartered and sold for private gain. It means, in the language of Carl Schurz, "official power offering itselt for prostitution to make money." These letters, which were not intended for the public, reveal somewhat of the inner life of "that man from Maine." WHAT THEY ARE MAKING . Each of the Railroads in this State has, in common with the bus iness people, felt the exceeding tightness of the times. A compari son of the earnings of the different roads for June '83 and June '84, has been made with the fol!owing result : Of the seventeen roads, ouly four show a trifling gain; one, the Chester and Lenoir, of $1,750, while the Cheraw and Darlington show the small difference of $7. The o:her thirteen each have fallen short. Our own road, the C. & G, show the considerable shortage of $2,558. The aggregate increase in the whole State is $2,503, and the decrease $28,994. This is a melan choly rendering. We summarize this from that admirable paper, the Newcs 4- Courier. '1 hose of our read ers who are unfamiliar with the names of these roads are informed that they are the A tlanta and Char lotte Air Line, the Ashville and Spartanburg, the Augusta and Knoxville, the Central of South Carolina, the Charleston and Sav annah, the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, the Cheraw and Chester, the Chesteor and Lenoir, theCheraw and Darlington, the Cheraw and Salisbury, the Columbia and Green ville, the Lanrena, the Northeast. ern, Port Royal aind Augusta, the South Caiolina Spartanburg, U. & C., and the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta. 'The Fifth Session of the State Normal I astitate, which began its interesting work on the 15th uit., closed its labor. last Thorsday, The results were satisfying. There were over 200 regular attendants, who gave good heed to the 200 lessons embraoed in the 100 hours of in straction. Mr. Mark Li. Carlisle and Mr. E. Giardeau Chandler, stood the test of a two days' rigid exami nation, in .order that they might se ure their endorsement from the highest authority, for they were al ready anthorized to teach. The Indianapolis Seattinel is in hot water. It published an attack upon Blaine, in which it assailed the honor and good name of his wife. The man from Maine prompt ly sued the paper for $50,000 dam ages. The Sentinel deserves to be kept in hot water. It is t-ad enough to nose about and unearth private scandals that affet the candidate exclusively, but to invhde his home and seek to blight the fair name of his wife is simply infamous. Good friend, before you fall out with your neighbor because he re ruses to vote for yoar choice, just reflect that it would be as reason mble and proper for him to fall out with you because you refuse to vote or his choice. This is a free coun ry, and no man has a inonopoly of lvil or political righ.ts and pri. JOURNALISTIC. Mr. James W. Ogilvie, editor and proprietor of the horry Pro gress, has engaged Mr. Robert B. Scarborough as assistant editor. Judging from his sensible saluta tory. Mr. Scarborough gives pro mise of a useful career in the ranks of journalism. We wish we had space to quote in full his article, which glistens with brilliant gems of truth and logic. In it he says: "Journalistic life is an attractive oue to many ; and while we may covet its honors and distinctions, we dread its burdens. Many have arioen to fame and renown through this avenue of life, while many a bright intellect has been eclipsed in the effort to acquire distinction as a 'Knight of the Pen."' May the Progress progress. The Sumter Advance bas entered upon its fourth volume. It says it "leaves the port most auspiciously for the voyage of another year." One of its editors, Mr. P. E. Par malee, is kno%vn to many in New berry, where he once lived. We are glad of his success, and hope that he and his cu pal tner, Mr. Darr, may realize their fondest future anticipations. In short, way the Adcance advance and have asmooth sail on the journalistic sea, with not a troubled wave to. roll across its peaceful breast. The Columbia Register enters its tenth year with prospects bright and encouraging. It gives us more than a passing thrill of delight to note this fact. If man and paper ever fought bravely under adverse circumstances to secure and main tain a firm establishment, that man and paper are Charles A. Calvo, Jr., and the Columbia Register. They have climbed over almost insur mountable difficnlties. Not one man in a hundred would have had the patiehce, and the perseverance, and the courage that Mr. Calvo has shown. lie deserves great praise and hearty support. It is no little work to build up a daily paper. The Register is a better paper now than it has ever been, and we hope it will have increased prosperity. CARD OF THANKS. I return my thanks to the citizens of my native County for the generous support given my candidacy for Clerk of Court. Especially do I thank, and feel grateful to, the good ladies of the County for the deep interest they were so .kind as to manifest in the suc cess of one whose privilege it has been to serve them in a different field of lambor for over a quarter of a century; and I beg to assure all my fellow citizens of Ne wberry Coun ty that it shall be my constant :im and highest ambition, by faithful d'scharge of duty,to endeavor to deserve the con tidenice reposed in me by my niomina tion to the responsible position of Clerk of Court. My Fellow Citizens, grateful to you all for the honor con ferred, it shalt be my highest ambition to deserve your confidenee and es teem, in public as well as in private station. Respectfully, J. Y. McFA LL. A RELIGIOUS REIVVAL. BnIOOKSVILLE, MISS., Aug. 12, 84 Messrs. Editors :This little town to-day is as quiet as possible after the close of the late revival meet ing in the Baptist Church, which was one of uncommon interest, as it exceeded all previous ones in the depth of feeling it excited in the breasts of all kinds of people. Mr. Grey, a young Baptist preacher not known here before, preached every sermon during the meeting of two weeks, two sermons each day, and moved the hearts and con sciences of the people as they were never moved before, perhaps ; and yet his manner was quiet though earnebt, not denunciatory but plead ig and persuasive, never once holding forth the terrors of the law and future punishment, His sue cess was most gratifying, as he held the large congregations, composed of all ages and denominations al most suspended by his words. Trwenty-three persons were united to the church, some by letter and restoration and eleven by baptism. The rite was administered in the church last night before a very large audience, after an earnest and solemn charge to the converts. The music and singing and the selec tions were quite good. The houses of business were closed during the hours of service every day during the second week of the meeting. On the first Sunday in this month a colored Methodist Bishop, Lane, was invited to preach in the Metho dist Church by the pastor at 5 o'clock, p. m. T1he church was filled mostly with the white people, but the colored people had a limited space allotted to them. The preach er, in. som.ue preliminary remarks, modestly deprecated criticism upon the grounds of the want of early education and training of himself as well as the rest of his race, and said he did not presume to be able to edify the white people. His text was Phil. iii: 8. He used good lan guage and was even eloquent to wards the last of his sermon. The connection, or logical sequence I suppose 1 might call it, was very well preserved throughout his ser mon. There has been no rain here for nearly two weeks now, and the far mers would like to have a moderate rain. Yours, S. P. our preacher says beocould scarcely hear htnsel preahlast sarnduy for the backing, cougldn5and pig 0? re oongr'g'tlon The second Primary Election will be held on the second day of September. After that day, we hope that there will be no kickers, mug wumps, no political sore-heads, and, above all, no independents in Newberry County. Let us forget personal preferences and private dis agreements, and roll up a handsome majority for the nominees. It was impossible to nominate all the can didates, however anxious we may have been to vote for all. A FREMONT REPUBLICAN -Henry C. Bowen, proprietor of the New York 1ndependent, writes to Gov. Cleveland as follows-: "I have been a Republican since the Fremont campaign of 1856, and from that day have always voted with my party. Had the late Republican convention at Chicago been wiser in its action I should have remained steadfast in the party. But it has gone astray and I cannot foliow in its path. I most sincerely rejoice in your nomination, and assure you that I shall do what I can with voice and pen to secure your elec tion, as I have your nomination." The Elberton NceSouth says 'A con silerable number of gentllmen front South Carolina have been over on the Georgia side recently for the purpose of purchasing lands. Several fine pl:i: tations have been conditionally sold and at low rates. The high price of lands in Anderson, S. C.. compared with the prices asked for similar or better quality of land here has become a strong inducement for them to sell out over there and reinvest on the Georgia side.' Chattanooga claims to have in. creased a population 20 per cent. in. the past twelve months. During this period the tax aggregate increased over $1,000,000, and is now over $6,250,000, having doubled in the past four years. If Beast Butler remains in the field as a candidate for the Presi dency, he will seriously interfere with the Democratic chances. He is a power in New York. The Japanese have no equivalent for the English word "hell." That's what hothers the Jap in this country when he wants to say how hot it is. The Southern Exposition. . One of the new features of the Southern Exp3sillion, at Louisvil.e, Ky.. will be a Grand Competitive 31ilitary 1)rill. to take place Aug. 26th, 27th and 2Sth. A level space around which is a circle of seats capuble of seating 15,0)o persons. has been especially prepared for the Drills, it is known that half a dczen of the crack companies of America will participate, and localities. merit, and friendly rivalry will lend unnuat interest to the occasion. The first prize Is $3000, second $1,000, third s500. certainly sums worth contending for. The entire State Guri of Kentucky will go into En ealpmE:?f ' honor of tbes-- great drills. and it is'. ited tully 100,000 persons will witness the ,.. Another n : feature is the introduction of European ufreworks furni-hed expressly for the Southern Exposition by James Paine, of London, the recognizeud peer of all other manufactut era of line fireworks. The concluding r.evice of the tire works <display on the night of August 21st will be the Arc 'de Triomuphe and llots 'de nugne one hundred and fifty feetin length) as exhibited during the Fetes of the Emperor, and ic said to be the most successful device ever dis played in Europe The famous device of the sacred White Elephant will b,e prnduced on the same night on a grand scale. The huge beast will walk with natural and life like movements across the grounds. Anmong the many other devices selected for the same night are the Falls of Niagara (thirty feet long) and the Fiery Dragons, which move along the ground. After the g rand final device will be a flight of two hundired and-fifty of the largest size rockets madie. Each of t'be ten diuplays to be given by Paine, will terminate with a final device, already in preparation are colossal fire por-~ traits (size fifty by thirty feet) of the Presl dentinal candidates and of local celebrities. A granud naval combat (size of vessels one hundred and thirty feet), the Temple ofFatme, at Athens, changing to the abode of Pluto, taken from designs in the British Museum, the Bombardment of Alexandria, etc., will be shown. The display will be given at the south end ot the building on the space formerly occu pie'i by the cotton field and seats are in po sition capable of seating 15.000 people. A large iron mast is now heing erected in the center of the fildk, and will illuminate all the surrounding country. The lights on the same are so arrange tbaf they can be immediately extinguishe by a switch in the building, thus securin~ instant and perfect datkness for the frwradisplays.
