A CARD FROM C. E. SPENCER, ESQ.
To the Democratic Voters of York County
In presenting myself again as a candidal
for the Senate at the primary election order
ed by your Executive Committee; to be hel<
on Thursday, the 11th September, instant
and after being advised that there would fo
no other candidate except Dr. J. G. Black
I have yielded my own personal disinclina
tion to enter the race again to the earnest so
licitations of quite a number of my.friends
from various sections of the county, (som<
. of them supporters of Maj. Hart and Gen
Law,) who believe that at the recent primary
I received a plurality of the Democratic vote
of York county, and who insist that it is i
duty devolving upon me to allow them, an<
all others who may be of the same opinion
an opportunity so to testify before thi
people.
In the investigation by the committer
upon the various charges of irregularity
made before them, I took no part whatever
holding then, as i do now, tnat it was mei
business to pursue their inquiry in thei
own way. After sitting more than tw<
day3, and hearing testimony upon thes<
charges, the committee (standing 8 to 7
voted down a resolution to declare the elec
tion for %e Senate according to the face o
the returns, as the minutes will show. A
resolution was then offered to declare saic
election null and void, when, (at 4, o'clocl
Thursday morning) at the request of Dr
Black, as the minutes will show, action up
on the motion was postponed until 10, A
M., at which time Dr. Black proposed t
new election to the committee, whicl
proposition the committee accepted, th<
result of which was simply to propound fo:
your determination the question whici
they themselyes did not answer, but which
in justice to Dr. Black, they should hav<
answered in his favor, despite his proposi
tion for a new election, if they discoverec
no irregularities which, in their judgment
may have affected the result of the re
cent election. But as the new election was
ordered on his motion, certainly Dr. Blacl
cannot and will not complain that they die
not reach aconelusion upon the pending res
olution. And as the Committee so acted
without seeking my views upon the matter
(for which I do not blame them at all) I now
in justice to my friends(but withoutany re
flection whatever upon the Committee, wh<
I am sure, acted according to what thej
deemed the best interest of the. party,) ap
peal to you, the Democracy of York county
to decide the question, whether the recenl
election was so free from irregularities as
not to affect ray chances for the nomination
If you say that it was, then let Dr. Black be
nominated; if you say not, then let youi
votes show that in the future, primaries
must be so conducted as to speak the will oi
the Democracy of York county.
And now ia conclusion, let me, as one o;
your fellow citizens, indulge the hope thai
the new election will be so conducted as tc
be free from any suspicion of irregularities
and that the result will be to name a candidate
who will unquestionably represent t
majority of the Democratic voters of York
and receive the hearty suffrages of the entire
party at the approaching general election.
Respectfully, C. E. Spencer.
Yorkville, S. C., Sept. 1,1884.
A CARD FROM DR. BLACK.
Editor Enquirer: To correct some misapprehensions
in regard to the strength of the
Democratic vote at Black's Station, I bef
leave to refer the public to the returns frorr
that precinct (the Boydton) in the electior
of 1876, when I. D. Witherspoon received
321 Democratic votes and Hannibal White
78 votes for the Senate. These votes were
honestly cast and honestly eounted. This
shows a total vote of 399 votes cast there ir
1876, since which the village of Black's has
grown up with a population of 420 souls and
a voting strength of 83 voters. There are
about 90 negro voters within the bounds a
Black's Station precinct and 35 or 40 can always
be depended upon to vote the Demo
nratifi ticket in anv emergency. The raana
gersof election at the recent primary electior
at Black's Station precinctare honorable and
high toned men, and incapable of fraud oi
of permitting fraud to be committed in th<
election. The contest of Black's Statior
vote was conceived in personal spite towarc
me on the part of W. Anderson and W. It
Lipscomb. Resp'y., J. G. Black.
MERE-MENTIOJi.
Bersy Johnson colored, was hanged ai

for years sold it under the following guarantee:
"Any building that is not satisfactory when
painted with our PREPARED PAINT, we will
repaint the same at our expense with such White
Lead or other Paint as the property owner may
select. This contrast is understood to apply to
everjrgallon sold by any dealer who has tlmsale ,
of our Prepared Paint, and every such dealer is I
authorized by us to fulfil it, using such funds as
he mav have in his hands belonging to us." We
have the exclusive salo of this Paint in this place,
and whether or not we have any funds in our
hands belonging to the manufacturers, we are k
ready to have this contract executed in all cases 1
where the Paint does not prove satisfactory. The
Paint, however, must be applied by a practical
painter. We do not warrant the permanency of ?
colors. For :i-coat work the average cost o( the
Paint is ?1.25 per gallon ; for 2-ooat work, ?1.28
per gallon. The purchaser of this Paint attains
two most desirable ends, viz.: A Paint warranted
to be the most durable made, at a price as low
as the cheapest "slop" sold under the name of

THIS is the best Machine for the purpose that
has yet been placed before the public, eclipsing
all others and well sustaining its name of
"LADIES' FRIEND." In the use of the ma- "
chine, there is no wear on the clothes, and but
slight exertion is required by the operator.
With it any garment can bo washed that can bo
washed by the hands, in one-third of the time,
and with one-third of the labor. It does not injure
the finest fabric. To try it is to buy it!
Read the following certificate from well known
and reliablo citizens of York county :
We have used the Ladies'^ Friend Washing
Machine in our families, ana are wen pieuseu
with it. The machine is all that isclaimed for it,
doing the work well and satisfactorily, in onethird
