Thero will bo a nicotine of tho Domooratio EioontWe Comrjnittco of Oconeo Count; at tho Court House nt ll o'clock A. M., on Saturday, tho 20th of July. 1882. Tho com mittee consists of W. C. Keith, A. II. Broyles, J. L. Fonnoll, J. J. Keith, J. IL Sligh, B. F. Driver. W. W. Burnsides, Milton Nicholson, F. L. Sitton, John W. Sholor, W. L. Ilud gons and S. Y. Massey. In addition to tho above, each club which was not represented nt tho last convention, or which had not elected a member of tho committee, has tho right to elect n member without further action of thc convention. Tho Stato Constitution placos on this com mittee the whole responsibility of tho control nnd conduct of tho campaign in tho county. Remembering this, it is presumed to bo un? necessary to urge tho attendance if overy mouther of tho committee on this meeting. WM. J. STRIBLING, County Chairman. Tho Issue. Tho issuo in tho prosont campaign is ono of white government and white supremacy, rather than of party. Wo aro no extremist in nny sonso, but wo can hardly conceive a greator politioal misfortune than a return to negro rule In tho first placo tho race is not competent to govern nor to direct government. They own nothing and know littlo or no* thing, and in confusion nnd turmoil they cannot injuro nod may bettor their condition. Their elevation to power would cripple every interest and lower tho vnluo of property. Thoy have iu tho Stato thirty thousand ma jority, and in our divided condition our weak? noss is their strength. Our divisions aro no loss a misfortune to them than ruin to us. Good government benefits tho rich and tho poor, blacks and whites, for its effect is to advanco overy enterprise. Cnn wo hopo for good government with Radical or negro su premacy? In tho South it means ignoranoo, corruption and all that works financial and social ruin. So fur os parties aro concerned mon may differ upon certain principles of government and differ honestly, but all right thinking mon will agree that thc publia welfare should not be sacrificed to minor differoncos. Dem ocrats differ upon local and porsonnl matters, ns tho registration law, tho stock law, Ibo usury law, &c, but they should vote and act together in malters concerning tho public wollare Qrconbackers doubtless differ in eomo of tho principios of tho party, but wo all should ngroo to act together for tho com mon good. Not a fow Democrats hold to eomo of tho principles which constitute tho platform of tho Orecnback party, and wo fool tho samo is truo of many Grconbaokcrs towards some of tho principles of tho Dcmoo raoy. Even tho Radical party contains principios in its platform to which Democrats and Qrconbackers aliko accede, and wo oan say that eomo of the laws adopted in this Stato by Ibo Radical party aro improvements on tho past. While this is truo, nod all tho parties (lifter in some respects, wc aro satisfied (ho whito race in South Carolina and tho best informed portion of tho colored raco will ngrco that this is a whito man's govornmont and should bo controlled by tho white raco, becauso of its intelligence, its oxporionco tod its moral character. Lot us agree on this one plank and for tho present stand to gether for competent mon for office. Shall wo do this or shall wo divido on fanoied or roal griovancos, which, division will magnify rather than remedy? Shall wo seek remedies insido tho party or divido and thus without curing existing griovnnoos add to thom? Suppoeo you oppose tho stock law, should you seek to chango it in tho party or abandon tho party and thereby suffer it and such additional wrongs ns may follow defeat? Wo boliovo tho stock law to bo a fixturo and that tho success of no party will chango it. If otherwise, then it can bo changed in tho party without endungoring our return to negro rulo. Lot us all unito now ns in tho pnst and secure a continuance, of that pros perity which began in 187C. Providenco bas blessed us with a year of plenty and lot ua bless oursolvos by holding our Stato Govorn mont. Wo opposo what is known ns Bour bonistn and all class legislation; but wo bo liovo negro rulo to bo woreo than anything. Lot us hold together then for whito supro? macy and after it is securely won wo will fight all our other griovancos. Prohibition. Tho victory of tho Prohibitionists of Iowa has stirred up tho mon of other Western .States, specially Wisconsin and Minnesota. Concerning tho "causo" in tho latter State, tho St. Paul Pioneer Press says: "An influ ential official, who lives in tho Southern por? tion of tho Stato, writes that tho tcmpcranco wnvo has swept from Iowa into tho Southern tier of counties and is carrying ovorything, temporarily, nt least, before it. l?o says pooplo aro wild with cxeitomont and that tho question of prohibition, or certainly of local option, will out n largo figuro in thc fall." Tho abovo oxtraot from an oxchnngo fore shadows n coming storm, which, if not etriotly political, is destined nt no distant day to wield a poworful influence in tho world of politios. It is no theoretical "ism" in government, but a practical question, which owes ita strength to tho ovils of in temperance, and tho success of whioh looks ft> purification and elevation in all that con cerns tho highest intorosts of humanity. It is of no mushroom growth, but is the studied result of years of fruitless warfaro against whiskoy and is oxprossed in fow words, legal restraint and moral suasion,* combined to ovorthrow intcmporanco and tts attendant ?vils. Tho church is powerless, tompcrnnco societies and moral aesooiations aro pow or leea bo fore tho growing strength and insni tiahlo cravings of drunkenness, and the strong arm of tho law, aided by thoio moral InfJuonoes, io about to oater tho contest. Il victorious at all thia is tho only road to it, and of this tho country is fast beooming satisfied. Maine, Kansas and Iowa first, and now Michigan and Minnesota art awaking to the strife. Not only ibis, but wt > see a liko publie fooling outcropping in nearlj i all tho States as evidoncod by the restraining lows. I Qrent reforms are most frequently tin . result of a feeling ot noooseity. In ou ' Stato tho victory ol 1870 was not the worl I of Hampton and his colleagues, nor even o i the whito Demoorate of tho State. It wa rathor tho logitimato or nocesiar; fruit of Radical corruption and misrule Tho oppressions of tho people had beoomo s groat and tho roguery of tho dominant part, so flagrant that tho people, tho honest peopl of tho Stato, rose up in their might an declared this should continuo no longer. So in this day and tinto moral d?grad?t in has so inoroased from tho abuso of liquor that in many sections tho people havo dolor mined to stop it by tho strong arra of th law. Tho only danger is that in tho hon and excite mont of tho contest tho party c moral r< ' m may go too far. In euch mat tors it ! oost to huston slowly and not bo to rudie*' We boliovoif boor and wino wer freo and spirituous liquors licensed high drunkenness would decrease and the oountr bo bettor off. Tho uppor counties aro woll adapted to win making and it will yot bceomo ono of tboi leading industries, and as wo believe th thirst fur stimulants of somo kind natura and ils ?ndulgeneo in moderation not inju rious, wo cannot say absoluta prohibitio should bo enforced. Resides to permit th freo munufnoturo and salo of fcrmontc liquors would largoly prevent tho secret vio talion of laws restraining stronger liquor Tbc prohibitory laws of tho Northwest strik nt tho root and inoludo malt, vinous an spirituous liquors. --?? ? - - The War in Egypt.

EDITOR: In your last issue of tho Jo< nal I sec an announcement cf my name n candidato for tho Legislature. I havo beer positivo willi all who approached mo on I subject thal Ibis notioe takes mo by surprise, know to bo elected ls out of tho question, further, I foci my unworthiness too decplj impose upon thc credulity of friends. V many thanks for their kindness I am oompol from n sense of duty, todcolino tho opporlui they offer mo of seeking that honor which tl partiality would willingly confer. With your permission, Mr, Editor, I will tond this oommunicalion, as I havo never be intruded u 1 jour space. I hopo you grant mo I..* indulgonoo I ?sk. I think should encourage men lo run for ellice, this t who aro well known, who can command v all over Ur county and have generally tho c fidenco of .he people. I am suro this will I (o harmonizo nnd it will bo A step in tho r direction to bring peuce to Ibo party. M There is diBsatisfaotlon with many about Ibo courso some things havo taken and we Should do all ib our power to heal theso dissensions. We should be willing to make saorlflees in order to reoonolle all who feel that they havo been in jured or imposed upon. Our Legislature han had knotty questions to settle, th? decision of whioh haB provoked serious opposition in some localities. The Oooneo delegations havo all been good men and havo acted for what they thought was to the best interest of tho pt opie, but the general course of events, over whioh they had but little control, Is the source from whioh has sprung all tho troublo now existing. If wo desire to chango things we must go to? gelber ; in unity alono thero is strength. We must unite as firmly as we have heretofore ; as we did- during the war, whore we lost all but honor ; as we did after the mighty struggle in opposing the despotism exeroised over us by the Republican party, where nothing waa gained ; as we did through the terrors that followed rc oouBtruotion for tho supremacy of the white race, whioh ended in the brilliant viotory ot 1870. If every oounty throughout the' State will do likewise wo can root out all corruption, if any exist. We can put incorruptible men in office. Wo oan make them realizo thal an honor hos been conferred and a sacred trust Imposed. There are somo abuses within tho 8talo whioh appoar lo me to como within tho reach of law whioh should bo corrected. I allude to combi nations and monopolies. They havo been over looked or neglected by those in authority. Possibly they have been indirectly encouraged, if so, certainly at tho expenso of tho people. Wo know that somo of our most trusted, honored and gallant leaders havo been placed at the bead of these combinations. Wo bolicvo they wero put there for a purposo and that purposo is to manip?lalo if possible our law makers. Wo know their influence with the peoplo was their stepping stone. These com binations should bo managed; they should bo made to pay lox as well as we; (hoy should be made to respect tho law as wo, and whoo they trespass on private proporty or attempt lo break up pr?valo enterprises they should bo punished as well os wo. Wc want no diatiotlon whioh favors tho rich and powerful at tho expense of the poor. Wo want no distinction which favors ono iutcrcst to tho detriment of another, and certainly wo aro opposed to any distinction which op?r?tes in tho slightest against tho , planter and farmer, for they constituto three fourths of our population and aro the bouo and shine of tho Stato. In short, wo want no privi leged olasBCB among us and wo must demand that tho people's interest bo protected at all hazzard. If thero is not already statute laws to protect tho multitude against oombincd capital, we should demand it. If lhere is law sufficient then wc musl demand that tho proper officials be Diado to enforce it and givo ampio protection against tho unbounded rapacity of banded millions. All poner is derived from thc peoplo and they oan protect themselves by uniting and being careful to select men to represent them who cannot be influenced by those who aro employed for tho ostensible purpose of manipulating in the interest of largo corporalions. I think our danger lies just herc and wo must know in whom wo trust. Simple assertions will not do; they must hove character without stain, conduct without reproach and courage without limit. Wo must retiro those in whom Ibo people have loot confidence and havo a "new deal," if no thing short of this will givo satisfaction to tho country and people. Hoping that good men may bo found in every way worthy of our confidence, who arc willing to shoulder the responsibility and appreciate the honor as representatives of tho peoplo, I ara as evor, yours truly, M.

My wifo seemed con siderably alarmed and beggod mo to kill it at onoo, os it had attempted to bite every one of the children during tho day.

Having nothing in my hand but tho lamp, and fearing he would bito tuc or gut away, I seized him by the back of tho nook and called for tho axo. Thc implement was handed out to nie,but another difficulty presented itself. Tho infuriated beast used all his strength to get hold of mo. Tho thought struck mo, if I let loose my grip on his neck ho will either bito me or csoapo beforo 1 oan reach thc axe; it next occured to mo that if I o mid sucooed in keeping his head in a direotion opposite to my own person I could soon dispatoh him; so slipping ono of my hands down to his hind feet, oommenocd swinging tba animal beck and forth till I could eafely rclcosc my hold on his nook, when suddenly seizing both hind feet in both my hands I com menced revolving tho body around mo while 1 kopt nearing a block of wood that stood near. ?s soon ns I got in striking distanoc I dashed him with nil my strengt h ogainst tho block.

South Carolina oan do and doos quito os well as Georgia, both in grain and cotton: BOSTON, July 0,1882. To tho Secretary of tho Massachusetts Horticultural 'Society - Dear Sir: May I bo pormittod to placo on exhibition some ex amples of whoat and oats from the present crop from Hogaosvillo, Troup County, Geor gia-a scotion to which wo have not boon aoouatomod to look for large orops of grain por aoro. Thcfio examples will possess groat interest, as boiog visible and tangible evidonoos ol tho vast improvement ia tho mothods ol Southern agriculture aow being brought into aotion by tho small farmers who own theil laud aaa cultivate it under their on a super, vision. Tho crops of whioh these are samples wore raised by Major J. F. Jones, who had already given evidence of a product of 7?0 pounds of lint cotton por aoro io a Stato io which tho avorago por aoro is only about 200 pounds. I will now quote from his description ol thcao samples of groin : 1. Tho Italian whito whoat. This he states to bo tho most valuable variety ol whito vfhoat known iu this scotion. Tin Rov. Mr. Stacey, of his Stato, whoo visiting Italy a fow yoars ago, found somo womorj gleaning ia a whoat field near Naples; boin? attraotcd by tho qudity, ho purchased r small quantity for scod, whioh ho brough to Major Jones; and from this source thi immediato sootioa ia Tioup County ha boon stocked. From ono aoro this soasoi ho threshed 48 bushels of this variety, hi averago orop over tito wholo of his whoa land being o littlo over 80 bushels. 2. Tho red wheat, with purplo straw, h describes ns a hardy variety, giving a lar?; yield. Four years ago ho threshed from given aoro 541 bushels, avoraging 40 bushel of this kind on bis field. 3 Tho oats represent a rust-proof variety of whioh ho hos threshed 90 bushels per nor this year. His method of cultivation is a follows : "Wo sow our wheat nboat tho 1st of No vombcr; generally after a crop of cotton ha bcon raised front tho same laud tho prcviou year. For somo unknown reason wheo thrives best after a orop of cotton, thc ol stalks, loaves, immaturo fruit and roots bc ing themselves n splendid forti'izer." Thc farmers in Troup County considc grain as much a money crop as "ottou, an their work explains in part why Georgia i prospering this year in ito grain and frui orops, irrcapeotivo of its cotton orop. Major Jones states that ''many of ou farms avcrogc 25 to 30 bushels of goo wheat, aud 25 to 100 bushels of oats pc ooro." In connection with what is said about th fertilizing properties of thc cotton plant, i may not bo amiss to call attention to som facts but very roccntly developed. For eaoh 500 pounds of lint cotton thcr aro 4000 pouuds of stems, roots, burrs an seed, in which on averago of over five pc cent, is phosphate of limo and potash, an other mineral clements drawn from th soil. Io fact, fur euch bale of cotton lin which is itself almost wholly oarbonaocot material drawn from the ?ir, there aro i tho plants on whioh this lint was grow moro titan two hundred pounds of thct valuable ingredients. Now bear in min that tho plant is herbaceous, and that it ca bo saved after tho cotton is picked, an ground into meal as food for stook with til euko whioh is loft after the oil has bceu ex traotcd and it would appear probablo, to sa tho leant, that in tho rcfuso of thc cutta plunt wo may find an invaluable fodder an an equally invaluable fertilizer. It is therefore probablo that each balo i 500 pounds lint of ootton will bo represente by 15 gallons of oil and 3,000 pounds i fodder, of which 150 pounds will bc phot phato of lime and potash and the other fci tilizing ingredients. Tho valu? of ootton seed meal for foe and for fertilizing has bcoomo general known, but there is no press capable of ri moving all the oil. Tho cake being excci 8ivcly rich, must therefore bo used wi great coro. Hut if it bc proved possible grind tho stems, burrs and hulls with t coko, the mixture may not bo too rieb, ot tho stems and burrs contain oven mo phosphate than tho meal, if thc urinalysis Pendleton's Scientific Agriculture bo oo: rcot. Our annual cotton crop moy thcioforo computed at 6,000,000 bales of cotton, 9 000,000 tons of cattle food end 90,000,01 gallons of oil. All theso facts may possess n greater ii forest at the present moment in view of tl invitation whioh has been extended by t Manufacturers' and Mechanics' Institute, thc Southern railroads and to other corp rations or persons interested in thc Soul to contribute to their grcBt fuir which is bo held in Boston next autumn examples Southern minerals, timber and products agriculture similar to'thoso whioh attraot ruch widespread attention at tho Atlei Cotton Exposition lost ycor.
