r'ev THE SENTINEL D. P. BRADLEY, Editor. PfQ1XENS -. H.,s S. C.: Thurds9y, April 25. 1878. Ho for Afrio. The ship Azor sailed from the port of Charleston last wook with her first load of emigrants for Liberia. The ship is to.mako regular trips as fael, as she car go and return. The News and Courier sent a reporter along to report the condition of affairs-in the new home of the emigrants, their re. ception, &c. We hope they may land safely, be prosperous anJ happy in their new homes, and many others may follow them. Beecher-Tilton Again. Mrs. Tilton has come out in a letter acknowledging' her criminal inter course with Henry Ward Boecher. Bdecher denies the truth. of Mrs. T's letter, and asserts that the confession is only the price of a reunion with her husband. This Boecher-Tilton affair has become almost a scandal to - the whole country, and we trust that the press of the country will refuse to publish anything further about it. Let Beecher and the Tilton's 'sink down into obscurity, where we think the whole batch of them belong, and the good of society demands. You Stay Governor. Governor Hampton on his lato visit to Anderson, was met -At every sta. tion, as our readers know, by great crowds of people of all colors and con dition in life. At Helena, an old colored woman strode in fret of the crowd to a position where sho could command the ear of the Governor, in great earnestness exclaimed. "You stay, Governor. We's had a better time since you was made Governor, than we's had since the wvar." The oxperi. ence of this old colored wvoman is, doubtless, tho experience of every colored person in the State, ox cept those who were connected with tho thieving administraticns of. Scott, Moses and Chamberlain, in the ca ~pacity of offeco holders. The scales have evidently fallen ftrm the eyes of the colored people, and they now see and realize'that, their true friends arc the native wvhito D)emocrats. The days of carpetbaggery and scalewag, cry have effectually played out in South Carolina. Primary Elections. The system of nominatiung cansli. dates by primary elections is being thoroughly discussed in every county in the State. A large majority, it -appears, approve the syetem, and the convention plan is likely to he ignored entirely hereafter. In this County no other plan is thought of. in our last campaign, the candidates for the Le gislatuto and County offices were nos minated in this way, and the result was entire satisfaction we believe. Of course, some of the canditates are obliged to be disappointed, but when they know that a majority of their owvn party prefer some one else, they can not do otherwiso th~an' acquiesce - and support the ticket. There is no excnse for running as an "independ ent" candidate. They can not <;laim that their op)ponen ts were brought out by a packed convention, and the re,. sult is, we have a united Democracy and march square up to victory. .Pickens was the first County to hold primary elobtions in the last cam, paign, and is entitled to the honor of inauguriting the system in the State. Doorkeeper. * The United States House of Repre.. sontatives, has been heretofore unfor' tunato in. the, selection of its door,. keeper. The first was only a brag from Texas, wbo thought he was a "bigger man than Grant." The next was a man from Tennessee, who though honest, did not have the men tal capacity to discharge his duties. Tbe House has now selected General Charles W. Field, of Virginia, to whomeo the faithful and intelligent dis, charggof his responsible duties can be safely entrusted. Mfany old Confede rates remember GeneLd Field's gal lant Division in the armay of North, ern Virginia. He served with dis, tinguished.ability and bravery through out the entire war, and after its ok s b. -secured an honorable position in -the army of the Khedive of Egypt, and hold it asjlong as ho chose. EMcEvey'was hung, at Alken, Eat VrIday, for the murAdor of Col. Grdgg.t ~.-V 'V '~9* -*~- 4~ ,*., International S. S. Convention. We had the pleasure of attending, a portin of tho time, the International Sunday School Convention, whi0b as, sembled id the city of Atlanta on the 17th instant. Delegates from every State and nearly every Territory in the United State, and from Canada, were present, including amongst their number so'mo of the most distinguish ed Vulpit orators in the country. The proccdings of the convention were opened by singing the beautiful and appropriate hymn, "Atl hail the power of Jesus'name, Let angels prostrate fall, Bring forth the royal diadem And crown them Lord of all." About four hundred delegates and a good portion of a large audience joined i-n the singing, and we have never, in all our life, heard anything to equal it. We felt, at the c6nclu sion of the singing, that hearing the hymn sung had wore than paid us for time and expenses iucUred in visiting the convention. Governor Colquitt eloquently de livered, on behalf of the great con rconwealth of Georgia, an address of welcome to the delegates, which wab feelingly and eloquently replied to by Rev. Dr. Potts, of Canada, and Gen. Fish, of New ,York. The permanent organization - of the convention was then effected by the election of'Gov. Colquitt President, one vice-Presi den.* from each State, Territory and Canada, and tho necessary number of Secretaries. Reports, showing the condition of Sunday Schools tV h out the country repreented I,,, gates were then submitt. which we gathered the folio'., tistical information: There soven million, six hundred seven thousand, six hune ninety-six members in th< Schools belonging to this Union alone. During the lastyear there w in this territory, seven thou I hprndred and forty new schoo. lisbed, and seven hundred an~ thousand, nine hundred a,,i new children aidded to the ovedence that tho Sunday the nursery of the church, o~ seven thousand children I from the schools into thn ship of the church. We regret that cirgumstmi not permit us to remain c~ than Friday mnorning. The1 tion had at that time onli ~ good working order, arnd t~ of t he session was doubtle~, if not more Interesting thaw uA part.. .We have never seen, pearancos,A more earnIest ous body of christain work: oral, dignified and intclli,' could not fulil to gaini the r. admiration o.f all who had fortune to look on and hea The discussions on the tru : Sunday School work anid tant agencies'were very in v and we only regret that omi .V. space does not admit of th.eir pa cation. We should like to g t readers a fuill report of the enti' ru . ceedings, but that is impou~'bh w we must conclude, by saying' ' have always been the a<h~ wm a Sunday Schools, we wvere um' impressed with its great iz ... and usefulness by the proc~ this Convention than over btea ad sincerely trust that every elK wil bi the borders of this groat coIInI om be brought into the folds o1 aL [son day School, and that tIhe lig~i h d religion he let in on tihe mm ds o us y?outh through its instrumenetii.

Our Standard Bearers. ioR GOVERoR, WADE HAMP'ON, of Riebland. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. JOHNSON HAGOOD, of Barnwelk We raise to day the standard of the Strqiglit.out Democracy for the cam paign of 1878. From one end of the State to the other, no name but that of Hampton is heard for Gorernov and we believe no name will be more proper among the anasses~ of the De. mocracy for the second place on the ticket, than that of our distinguished fellow,citizen, General Johnson Ha good. The one predominating char. acteristic of Johnson Hagood is thor ough. Whatevor his hands find to do, he does it with his might, and he does it, well. We know it is impor tant to have such men as he is in the important office of Comptroller Gon eral, but he having set that house in order, others can be found to carry on the good work, and he can bo spar od to take a higher place of greater uiefulness. The present occupant of the offico of Leutonant Governor of course could, and of right would, hold the field against, all comers, for while .tho name of Hampton is great in the land, that of Simpson is liko unto ir, honored and beloved of all men. But Lieutenant Governor Simpson is need ed in a higher place, one that his talents, his training, and his great, qualities of head and heart fit him for, Newspaper, left Greenville for a raid on the line of North and South Caro. lina. They .found in the woods, in the mountain, about thirty miles from Greenville, a quantity of beer and stands which they destroyed. The still had been hid out. The force scattered out, and went driving on either side of theo branch. The -still was found, the signal for assembling was sounded, an'dl when closing in they saw Rufus Springs, one of the force laying on his face--his gun under him. They went to him and found ho was dead, a bullet had pass, ed through his body. Hie was picked up, laid across a horso an'I brought out eight miles, whore a wagon was p)rocured and the dead body brought to the city yestordy morning about 9 o'clcekc, a. mn. An inquest has boon held by Coroner .Bayne, and the ver / * dict returned is that the deceased c.me t his death from a gun,sh wound at the hands of some one ub known to the jury. -It was a verf deadly shot, the ball striking just below the back of the neck, and lodging -against the bre'aat bone. From the direction the ball took it is pretty well determined that it could not have been accidental. Dots by the Wayside. ToccoA FALLS, GA., April 14. DEAR SENTJNEL: It has been several weeks since 1 had the pleasure of ad dressing you. I can't give you any Central Items this time, but. a few "wayside dots," picked up in our wanderingsN might prove interesting to some of your readers. We started from the great city of C. on last Mon day. We reached Mrs. Taylor's Monday night. Tuesday, we laid over, as it was rather damp. We Ifent fishing in the, afternoon, and caught a fine mess of fisb. "Wo'uns". get left during the time, to find the way back in the dark. Wednesday morning we went to Walhalla. It is a beautiful little mountain town, and has two flourishing schools-one male and one Fumale. Late in the after noon we started for Westminster. Some distance from Walhalla, we had the pleasure df witnessing one of the most glorious mountairf sunsets that I ever saw. As the sun sank behind the mountains, thero was a break in the clouds, through which tho sun 1l1: out its glorkous golden bunners of ht, and turned the clouds into t sea of pare, golden Jight. azed engerly at it, it seemed u!d almost imagine that the Heaven wei opend and orth streams of living light. - ed that night on Conoross Next morning I had a hook 1'ek, and the consequence was iad fish for breakcfast. On * to Westminster, we passed .K's, formerily of Pickens * ,vC stopped an spenit al coulo pleasantly chaittin'g with thec pcendl y the chiarm,ing \Iiss se0 stop [wd in W est mini h I is ai sma;ll, dulral town, with * ~~en stort s.

We staid u nt il last unight, then we *ihere list nighIit, nind we sere 2 the foot of the Falls WVe mndid view of the Falls last \ moonlight. .After supper, 2. ' .fellow fewng himself do''n a e of a large beech, anid dranlk u 3 beauties of the glorious *h his material eyes, while h eyes were running over the pag he book of memory, reading the V,ewji of the ha ppy hours that he spa i i * last summer. Ile' looked op w ayv him, to the right of the or. Every stream, pouring from theo s uidous rock, and could see a (Ia rk ((, upon which he remembered *ut w 'ith two beautiful, winning K.tL.a remembered reaching over n' r of the precepico to gather ies for these lad ies; but he aed better the words that e to him about falling. Just hun if was a scat upon which he po ~r ~ nt an hour in pleasant con b~ one of' these ladies. As-he .~ b 4 ie foot of the old beech, he I'i; of the time wihien lie had *o >6 that very self,same tree, ide him stood a fair, beauti a n unen watching his awk u a" rihn 1 . cjurve her name on rhe o b En .. ihe old beech. 11cr ljw~ ~h:i.d jAsed the very earth wheiro lie was lying, hpr tender hands had touebod the very tree against which his head was resting. IIe thought of how sweetly th)e music of her voice fell upon his ears, and it made his heart ache to think that ho was so far removed from the sound of that sweet voice. Long ho lay and pondered of that day, and it made his heart inexpressibly samd to think that he had but little hope-of many days of such perfect happiness coming into hie life. To--day, as we were writing, we were amused at the sight of a verdant youth "sparking" a red.haired beauty (?) But our amusement was turned to horror. The couple, not liking to be observed too clopoly, went to f he "rock" at the top of . the Falls. Then .we beheld a terrible sight. The youth wishing to "show off"' before his "dina&e o a don n the vory brink of the proeipico, and, loaning over too far, he lost his bal ance and foll-not down off of the precipice, but-flat of his ba6k on the rock, on w.hich he was sitting. But onough of the Talls. We intond go ing on to Cla, kedville to-inorrow. Perhaps you will hear from us again soon. ROVER. VEGETINk An EXcell ent 11edicine. SPRIN1FIELD, 0., :Feb. 28, 1877. This is to certify that I have used Vegetine, manufactured by II. R. Stevens, Boston, Mass., f or Rheumatistn and General Pros tration of the Nervous System, with good success. I recommeAd Vegetine as an ex cellent medicine for such complaints. Yours very truly, - C. W. VANDEGRIFT.

LouisviLLE, Ky., February 16, 1877. Mr. HI. R. STEVENs-Dear Sir: Three years ago I was rufferirg terribly with Infamma tory R heumatism. Our minister's wife ad.. vised me to take Vegetine. After taking one bottle, I was entirely relieved. This year, feeling a return of the disease, I again com menced taking it, and am being benefitted greatly. It also greatly improves my diges, tion. Respectfully, Mrs. A. BALLARD. 1011 West Jefferson street. Safe and' Sure. Mn. I R. STEVENs-In 1872 your VTege tine was recommended to me; and, yielding to t he persuasions of a friend, I consented to try it.. M the time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by overwork and irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my de bilitated system from the first dose; and un der its persistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feeling. Since then I have not hesit,ated to give Vegeline my most unqualified indors6 ment as being a safe, sure, 11nd power(ul agent, in promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Ve. gel ine s the only medicine I use, and as I live I never expect to find a better. Yours truly, W. 11. CLAnK. 120 Monterey street, Allegliany, Penn. VEGETINE. / The following letter from Rev. 0.
