The Itadical Vow-Wow.
' Our town was troute S it aiday to one of
those oi l facbioucd ucgfo gatherings so frequent- 1
~ ly seen and heard tu the memorable years j
Radical riot In this Stale.
j The County Convention met in thcCourt House
and was called to order by lis*' County chairman j
Jim Dopa.?s, when June Mob'oy harangue'l the 1
assembled solans. Members attempted to speak,
but the Chairman lit his cigar, turned iiis back j
upon tliein and said "l il be 1 ?d if I hear you." I
This brought out the full lung force of the con- j
vent ion aud a perfect babel of voictls aemmenced j
" to shout, "Mr. Chert man !' "Mr. Chcennau !" :
We never heard u more boisterous and disgrace- 1
i, ful meeting. At length a little order was ob- j
fiiilio.l nml Mttlilitv'o r?i?? .a ts.l .Jrttxl for
delegates to the State Convention was proposed ,
' ami, not withstanding it would have puzzled a :
0 Philadelphia Lawyer to say how the vote stood,
' the chair announced that June Moblcy, Jim Repaux
and Charley Wade were declared elected,
y At this about one hn'f the Couvsqtion rose to
(i their feet and such shouting and linguagois
1 rarely heard iu a street riot. So disgraceful was
the conduct that the Sheriff had to go into the
Court House and quell the riot and take posses1
sion of the room. Thus ended what Mobley
c calls the Republican County Couvcutiou of Union |
TtiK bl.yCl.t.
Noi satisfied with the proceedings an l results '
of the Mobicy-liepuux meeting, a large number i
of the more respectable and intelligent colored I
I men of the County held a Convention ou Tues- j
(. day to protest against the action of tiie so-called
convention, and to elect another act of delcaauis
to trie state Convention.
The Couvculiou was organized by the election
d of Tinsley Clark, Chairman and J. J. Kinard
<1 Secretary.
e A motioti was made and carried unanimously
Is that a petition be forwarded to the State Kxccut
tive Committee asking that a more competent
and acceptable County Chairman he appointed.
The following delegates were elected to reprc0
sent the Convention iu the State, Congressional
8 and Judicial Conventions: J. J. Kinard, IV (}.
c Cannon and (?. C. Tucker.
'' This was one of the most orderly meetings of
colored people that ever assembled in this town,
c ... .. . ... ...
notwithstanding the irrepressible mischief milker,
Jiin Depaux xvus there and ma le several
^ attempts to break it up. The speeches were sens..
iblc and model ate in language, and the great,1
est decorum marked the proceedings throughout,
L until Ocpaux called the Secretary a d?d liar,
u when rather than disgrace tlieinaelves by a difliculty
with such a fellow, the meeting quietly
e adjourned.
- a Sudden
Death of Mrs. W R. Briggs.
n Our community was startled on Friday morning
last by the announcement that Mrs. briggs,
wife of (.'apt. W. 11. briggs, died very suddenly,
0 about 11 o'clock the night previous. Mrs
briggs retired in apparently as good health and
11 spirits sis she had ever enjoyed, hut about 10
^ o'clock she awoke her husband and complained
n of nut f?:cli??yc well. She got tip and moved
' about the room a few minutes. Feeling better
she returned to bed. but soon after told her bus"
bnnd that she felt very strangely, and threw one
u ! mm across him. He lifted the arm and found
11 i it powerless, lie then called for water to bathe
her face, but upon applying it lie found that life
was extinct. The doctor pronounced it a case
j of apoplexy.
j Mrs. liriggs was a woman of rare energy, and
I' ' in every good work in the ncighhorhot d she
i wns the lending spirit. As a member of the
' Methodist chinch she adorned the christian
| profession by a consisiant life of humility and
"j 1 Godly fear.

The Radical-Greenback Fusion. <
Our readers need no reminder of the f ict that
we told I hem weeks ngo that the greenback move <
was only a part of the scheme of the Radicals i
in this State to defeat the democracy and remand ?
the State government into the hands of the ne- I
gros, carpetbaggers and every other character of 1
corrupt, lawless and unprincipled politicians.? '
Sooner than we expected the mask has Been |
thrown off and the fusion openly made. I <
A radical County Convention was held at I <
Greenville C. II., last Saturday, and the Daily
AW.t gives a full and lu licrous account of the ,
| pow wow, which is rich reading. Of the composition
of the convention, the AV/r* says:
It is a noticeable fact that of the white delegates
I in attendance, many of them have been "apos|
ties of grceubuckistn" for the hist threo months,
! and that in reality a fusion of the two parties
has taken place.
If any one wishes further proof that Grccnbackism
and Radicalism arc only parts and parcels
of the same corrupt party, we don't know
where they can tiad it.
We endorse fully the following forcibly ex
pressed sentiments upon this subject, which wc
cut froiu an able editorial in the AV?w :
Any man who thinks at all must know that

; wouKl make the first to lie remembered as pleast
ant ami peaceful by comparison. It would l>c
I ibe pleasure and policy of the negroes and white
J men who compose the party, to grind down the
white people of the State, crush the last spark
of hope or spirit from their hearts and visit upon
us the accumulated malice of the last years.
Vet wiiite uicu?South Carolinians?join in to
bring those consequences upon us. 'Ihe men
who compose the (Srcenback wing of lladicalistn
are deliberately planning the murder of the
State and the everlasting ruin of her people.?
Scorn for the miserable associations upon which
they have entered, ami bitter hatred for the
t. rong they plot against us, arc the feelings with
which all respectable citizens must regard those
miserable creatures. Let them never lie forgotton
! Let the undisturbed peace that will ensue
Irotn their defeat not move us to charitably
condoning their fault. Lack of success in execution
does not lessen the guilt of carefully designed
crime. The men who aid Radicalism ,
I now should he handed down for the execration of j
generations to couie.
Bloodthirsty Speeohos
A correspondent of the Columbia lteyialer,
writing from Newberry, gives an account of
the Radical Convention held there last Tuesday,
and further says :
Frank Mix, a delegate, ntale a very inflammatory
speech at a barbecue last week, saying
that if the white people di I not give tliein whatever
wages they asked, they would force them
to it cr tltey would kill and cat their hogs, cows,
horses, sheep, ami everything they had in the
way of cattle, "and then we'll begin on tlicir j
babies in t heir cradles and eat them." [A voice
in the crowd : "Yes, 1 feel like I could oat a
baby now."] "Then we'll kill their women
j ami eat them, ami, lastly, we'll kill their men, 1
I we will exterminate them and inherit their lands, i ]
I or have our price. We will he masters ! Death I <
j to the white man.

In view of tho fact that Col. McKissick was
short of a majority only four votes and tnysell'
short forty-one votes, and in view of the further
fact that on Wednesday morning after the election
and before the full returns were had, I proposed
to him that if he was ahead in the primary
election I would give hint the field, and if I
was ahead I claimed it., to which he did not an
swer mc directly, but I consider my word on/ bond.
and after consulting With my friends in regard
to the matter they alvise the withdrawal of my
name from further connection with this canvass.
To my friends who at the polls and oilier places
have so firmly and cordially supported tee
and the course 1 have pursued in this canvass 1
return my heart-fell thanks.
To the Ladies of the county, whose kind
words and cheering smiles have oft en encouraged
me in my course in this canvass 1 return my
thanks and bid you God sp ed in the cause.
Yours Respectfully.

North I'acolct are not superstitious, however enthusiastic
we may he iu regard to cotton crops,
oat crops before they have been reaped, Hail
Stones, Lizzards, Chips and ancient law hooks.
We arc becoming a philosophical demonstrative
people, but occasionaly we meet with natural
phenomena that we cannot solve, and, of course
call on you nnd the correspondents of the Tunes
to help us out of the dilemma. My narrative
is a short one, summed up in haste, as follows :
A few days since a renowned and highly respected
farmer, known iu this section for truth
tnd veracity, took a stroll through hi.s farm to
o-jk at his cotton. When lie left home he
i wore by I lie holy poker lie did not have a cent
>f money about his person. \\ hen he had gone
hroiigh his cotton field lie ran his hand into his
>ockct for a chew of tohacconnd pulled out what
ic thought to he some leaves of the weed, but up
in examining the wad lie found it was not tobacco
it all, hut a veritable genuine Greenback f>v?
1 liar l-ill. This mystery is now the talk of the
armer;, oM an.I young, black ami white, from
irown's Store to Uoudeysville. IVc nil know
lie gentleman heeaiumt tell n lie, much less lie
nislakon about that five ilollar bill. A su spec lit iloliticinn
over the way said that it might have
lappcnc 1 itt this way: A sljort time ngo we had
i gasconade from McLane at (lott levsviile and as
icsecttered his remarks considerably, it is quite
ikely he seatteicd something else, lint, Mr.
Mi tor, tiiis ?*V" is the otily one found in North
'aeolct, and with none "tohacker."'
Mr. IMitor 1 never intend, to be personal in
my of my communications. The subject of this
trticlc may he an imaginary person or a person
if sprightly imagination, Ibr all yon know, hut
lie people ol t lis section will not have much

We had (he pleasure of meeting to-day Mr.
i Carson, salesman of the Southern Calcnlar
( lock Company, whose district headquarters
'or Western South Carolina are now at Grccn?ille
This is a Southern enterprise, in Iho
lands of Southern men, hut they tlo not ask
patronage on this account. All they ask is that
>nch and every oi.e examine the clocks for him:elf.
The Company sell their clocks exclusively
from wagons, therefore avail yourself of
he opportunity o?' seeing it when the salesmen
call on you. The press generally speak in
he highest terms of the Company nnd their
in'.c-iiion, and their responsibility is undoubted.
The unprecedented success of tl is Company

"Power ia Always Stealing from the Many to
the low"
The Cotton Brokers associations, Commercials^
TniTellora and newspapers arc busy during the
hot days of August in speculaAoy upon: the
next cotton crop, all of which speculations are
very much like those of (he pretty milk maid
who counted her chickens before they were
hatched. These speculations, neverthel.ss. are
not void of interest. They are not mere air castles,
built for the amuietnont of enthusiasts, but
are M^snde^.to havejin,inttuence upon the ma/- ^
ket and to put the points in the possession of
the X. V. cotton Kings, by which they cau manipulate
the prices for the coming scasou?in
short, how they can work up futures, sell seven
times (is much cottouus will be made, "in n horn,"
fleece all outsiders and (ill their own pickets.
The money changers of Wall Street Control
not ouly the cotton market but every other mar*
ket, when it becomes their interest to do so. A
CJinbiuHtion can be ctfected in a few days so
compact in its organization, so secret in its operatic
ns and so swift in its execution, as to sweep
away all opposition. The money power with its
net work of National Hanks all over the land, its
syndicates, its Railroad Magnates andTelcgraphic
facilities, holds in its hands the destiny of the
republic. The proclivity of the times seems to
be to run into combinations where the influence
of capital can be most successfully displayed.^,
l'owcr is always dangerous, when it can be^^B
secretly and wisely used. Much of the legisla lion
of the day is in the interest of the money
power. Legislative tactics have become so adroit
and efficient that it is no easy matter to divine
what will be done or what is the object There
is always a "wheel within a wheel," a "power
behinJ the throne," which regulates the movements.
This Sand lots Hoodlum, working men's
party element, which we so see ovcry now and
then cropping out in large cities, is not confined ,
to cities ; it may be found everywhere. It is the .. .?
volcnuo which underlies all societies, the same
trouble that has invaded the world's peace since
the terms rich and poor have become words of
meaning. It is just now the "bet?noir" for our
statesmen. Statesmen ! alas ! where arc we to
look for statesmen in these days of political
trickery and humbuggcry? 1'. Q. R.

The Shot-Gun Tournament at Spartanburg. ^
Mr. Ki.itoii:?Tho shot-gun Tournament has .
ended, but we cannot let it pass in perfect silence ,
nor allow it to be numbered with the things that
"were" without a word of thanks and commcn
dalion so justly due to the Spartanburg Team
and the citizens of that enterprising town.?
That the Tournament was a grand success is tiie
opinion of the visiting teams and every spectator
All things were propitious for the occasion?tho
place, the time, the teams. The sport commenced
ou Thursday the 2(ilh ami continued
until Tuesday 31st instant, yet such was the
zeal displayed by the contestants, and so great
the enthusiasm manifested by the spectators that
the interest in the Tournament did not grow
less but rather increase I unto its close. Tho
Spartanburg Team cannot be too highly complimented
for the success of tho first Shot-Gun
Tournament In Upper South Carolina. A tnoro
suitable ground for the sport could not have been
selected. Nothing that was necessary to the
success of the sport was left undone. The visiting
teams were snugly quartered in their respective
booths, with every convenience at hand,
while the comfort and case of (lie spectators
were not forgotten and good order was maintained
throughout.
The tournament was onductel in a fair and
. .. wt??tv?t I*ia%? ?f liliu lb nua TCI J CAUIl*
ing to a mere looker on to see the interest manifested
by the captains and members for Ilie success
of their respective teams, nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure of even the mast sensitive.
The members of the Spartanburg (li.n t'iub
did all in their power to increase the pleasure
am' make more full the joy of their "rivals in
arms" and succeeded in so doing splendidly.?
livery one felt that if he himself was not a member
of a team, he was nevertheless the next friend
to a member, and an ardent advocate of the
cause of Snot-CSun Tournaments.
To the Spartans at iargo, wc arc glad to say,
they were pleasant days spent in their midst,
and (hat wc highly appreciate the liberal aid
and hearty support tlicy gave to the shot-gun
Tournament at Spartanburg.

of being bored on political questions
[ your correspondent on Sunday last attended the
I usual big meeting at Gilend, but hardly had arrived
there when he was rapidly hustled into
a fen :e ^corner, and heard the same old story.
Our mind was reverted from religion and drifted

by taking refuge itt the Church. There was
t quite an nsseiiiuiug-; present, who were highly
