Kelly has shown his good common sense in thus recognizing tho fact that he had bitten off more than ho could chew. He has bullied and thwarted tho Democracy of New York as well as of the country at large quite long enough without being brought to a stand still. Thu time had arrived when he had to choose between leav ing the Democratic party or quietly accepting the nomination of the Na tional Convention. He wisely chose the latter alternative, and wo hope sincerely that ho and his troublesome prowd will stand squarely by their resolutions and be no longera thorn in the aide of the National Democracy. ’ being a man of fair intellectual abili- ° most earnestly urge that iiumc- ty; but he has by no meausa monopo-j diate steps bo taken to secure a full ly of brains in bis Congressional Dis-. representation from every township trict.

Mr. Tilman has thrown down the guage of battle and we accept it. As Tut Recoroeu says, “we as Temper ance people have been Implored to keep tills subject out of politics.” We do not wish and we do not propose to j form a third party in South Carolina; thinking Christian men and women, and which will go far to promote the moral growth, material prosperity and happiness of the people of our entire county. We desire to provide the opportunity for the friends of prohibition to meet together face to face and discuss this matter in a calm, business-like man- i ner, so that we can thoroughly organ ! ize in time for the submission of the A Visit t<» the Armory of the Wmdilugton Bight Infantry. During our recent visit to Charles ton we were called U|*on by Captain Alexander W. Marshall, the courteous and accomplished cammander of that veteran volunteer corps, the Washing ton Light Infantry, whoso history dates back to 1807, when It was oom- mniulcd by the Hon. Wm. Lowndes, and has prospered continuously from that period to tlvc present day, per forming tho most meritorious services for the .State during peace and war, and which numbers on its roll some of tlie most honored names known to tho history of our State. In company with Capl. Marshall we visited the handsome armory of the company and inspected the many interesting Houvonuira and relics now in their possession. The battle Hag of Col. William Washington’s troop Is now tho property of the W. L. I., but so highly do they value It that It Is kept in tho vault of the First National Bank and Is'scc’iuii but we do Aot propose to stultify our-I ^ j >f oh , bition to the votera sclvort by declaring our sentiments on j ( | f Aike „ Co 5 utyon the 4th of Novem- this subject and thou vote for a man who publicly announces himself op posed to the temperance cause, even though that opposition be expressed in decent phrase and manly argument. Far less can wc afford to support one who not only opposes, but indulges in coarse ribaldry against the good wo men, to say nothing of tlie men who aw: striving to free the land from the dreadful curse of intemperance. The time is coming in South Caro lina when more is going tobedcinand- erl of any man who commands tiie suffrages of the people than a show of ability, a smooth delivery, and power to manipulate a convention and se cure a nomination. The morals of a man as expressed in his life arc going to be looked into. Tho exigencies of the ease have almost compelled the support of the nominees of the Demo cratic party since 1876. This lias en gendered considerable carelessness in sonic instances as to tlie character of men who have been brought forward for office. Mutterings. of discontent have been heard. They are growing louder. There is a point where endur ance ceases to be a virtue. That point is reached when a man like Mr. 'Till man Haunts liis contempt of the tem perance people and their work, and 1 : ii.inlicii IX-uct expressed approval flag is made of heavy crimson silk, ■’inTd'WTIfc placed in the custody of tliT" corns by Mrs. Jane Washington, widow of Col. William Washington, on tho 19th of April 1827. This little Hag was lirst waved in victory at the battle of Cowponson 17th of January, 1781, and under its folds at Eutaw Bpring*, on tlie 8th of Beptember, 17K1, Lieut. Col. Wade Hampton, Comet Jamea ftimoas, and many ofli- oerr, wore wounded. Cal. Washiug- ton being dkvdded by tlie killing of hie horse while charging the onemy and made a prisioner.

Uugeuin, ami a stoei breast-plate in two parts, taken from a Unitod Slates officer killed at Gaines Mill, Virginia, ami presented by Gen. Humphries, of Anderson, S. C.; but our space will not permit a further enumeration of the many interesting relics and souveuoirs that we saw. We cannot omit, however, the beauti ful silk woven portrait of President George Washington, presented to the corps by Messrs. V. Piliipe & Son, of Lyons, France, through Mous. A. Truy, Consul de Frauoe, on the <x>ea- slon of the first public reception of Governor Hampton, 18th of April, 1877. This is the most beautiful piece of workmanship of the kind that we have ever seen, and is of such exqui site finish that it Is frequently mis taken for an engraving. Tlie hull contains an elegant piano, a present from Mr. and Mrs. Salas, ami their meetings are enlivened by the music of a glee club, composed of some of the best voices in the city.

We would most earnestly appeal to every minister of the Gospel through out the county to aid in this matter, and earnestly urge that the pastor of every congregation take immediate steps to promote the object of this call by directing attention to the evils of the liquor traffic and by calling a meeting of their respective congrega tions and electing full delegations to the convention which will be held at Aiken on Wednesday, the 15th day of October, 1884. Fellow-citizens : Remember that while the country dealer is pro hibited from engaging in this injuri ous but most profitable tralfie, the dealer who happens to reside in any little incorporated town like Aiken, Madison, Elicnton or Hamburg, is li censed to consume your hard won earnings in exchange for that which snatches bread from the mouths of women and children, brutalizes man hood and sends more souls down the dark valley of perdition than any other known caxSse in nature.

When that gentleman declares his contempt of temperance people “long haired men” whom lie despises can atford for conscience sake to cast their ballot* for some one else. We do not wish to see the govern ment of the State fall into irresponsi ble hands; but we warn those whom it may concern that unless mere re spect is paid to the moral and Chris tian sentiments v>f tiie people in the character of those who are presented for their suffrage, there will be a re volt from the “regular” ticket which will insure its defeat, whosesoever success it may assure. We utter this note ot warning. Christian people in South Carolina are beginning to take their conscience with them to the bal lot box. When this becomes general, as it soon will, woo to the dealers in profanity, coarse ribaldry, and vulgar jests, and to the “fellows of tlie baser sort” whose inspiration is rum and whose eloquence consists in tho ridi cule of goodness and sobriety. We are not surprised at Mr. Till man’s attitude in this matter. With his past record for him to have been any where else than against those engaged in this fight against whiskey, misery and sin, would have been as much of a surprise as when in the olden time, “the sons of God came to present themselves before the Ixird and Batau oame also among them.” Tho Tem peranee people uan do without Mr. Tilman and nia help, quite as well as he can do without theirs.

Asa Water Elevator it has the following merits:— It is labor-saving, and is the simplest structure for raising water on tlie market. IT IS EASILY ADJUSTED TO ANY WELL OR CISTERN. Any person can put one up in 30 minutes, as it has no attachment to any part of the well below the platform. IT IS THE MOST DURABLE FIXTURE FOR THE PURPOSE IN USE. It is substantially constructed, and the buckets never come in contact with each other, or the sides of the well, and the groove provided in tho wheel i.s so arranged as to produce but little friction on the rope and nono on tho pulley. IT WORKS EASILY. Tlie buckets balance each other, so the only resistance to overcome la tho weight of the water in one bucket; hence it is the only structure that will raise water from deep wells without a corresponding increase of friction, and that requires no more power to operate in a well of 100 feet than in one of 20 feet depth. IT IS ALWAYS READY FOR USE AND ALWAYS AT ITS BEST. After years of service the same number of turns of the crank brings the same amount of water as when new. * IT HAS NONE OF THE OBJECTIONS COMMON TO PUMPS. It will never freeze, has no wooden tubing to wear out, decay and pollute the water, no iron tubing to rust, never has to be primed, packed or thawed out, and you do not have to pump out a pail full of water to got a fresh, cool drink. It is entirely free from danger. Being provided with a self-acting brake, governed by an eccentric, it Is impossible, should tlie hand accidentally slip from the crank, for the bucket to run down. Hence any child can handle it with perfect safety. CSTTITE ENTIRE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF WELL COVER, WHEEL WITH CRANK, two buckets and one spout for each bucket. These spouts are attached to inside of curb or frame, and are operated by roil pressure from tiie outside, bringing them up under and raising the valve in tlie bottom of tiie bucket and conveying the water to a proper receptacle. Hence it will be seen that the unpleasant handling of ropes and buckets will be done away with, and tho uncleauliness attending such operation avoided.

BENNIES, Photographer, j COLUMBIA, - - S. C. If You Have a Fine Watch or complicated one in need of repairs, you want to have tlie work done by some one who is competent to do it properly. An incompetent workman can ruin the delicate adjustment of a fine watch without being conscious of having done any damage; but the owner who has been wearing it all the time knows that whereas it used to keep perfect time and is now unre liable, therefore something must be wrong with it. We make a specialty of fine watch repairing, and have a silver medal awarded for fine watch work. Our charges are as low as is consistent with good work. The ex press charges will be only 25 cents eacli way. When desired we will give an estimate of cost before doing P. H. LACHICOTTE & CO., 99 Main St., COLUMBIA, S. C. H. Hoffman’s.
