PIUMARY ELECTION. The primary election on last Friday brought out tho largest vote that has ever been polled in a primary election in this County. Thia bas been tho sub ject of somo surprise to many of our people, but it only hoes that there are quite a number of Democrats who have not been voting in our previous elections. It is not a larger number of votes than tb? cenrus of the County cslls for. The primary just passed was a very interest ing one, for thero were a large number of candidates and several close contesta between strong men. Thia brought BB nrjar every voter to the primaries as pos rtblej and the result sbows that there are over six hundred Democrats who bavo not heretofore been voting. Some of tbese, of course, are young men who have become twenty-one iu tho past two years, and also men who have moved into the County during that time ; but it ia safe to say that the result showB at least three hundred men who have not bec- taking any part in previous elec tions. We have them started now, and j we hope they will continue to take their . part in the elections which are to follow. ' Eveij -san ?ho ?cied OB Issi Friday Ought to vote in tho general election, ? and every one who has not yet registered, < but is entitled to register, should do so j immediately. All those who have lost their tickets should at one o have them , renewed and fix to give a largor majority i iu this County in November than we I have ever done. j AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION. The Editor of the INTELLIGENCER J has received a communication as County , Chairman from ft gentleman living in < the, lower portion of the Cou o ty, which contends that the County Executive Committee made a mistake in declaring the result of the recent election for ] County Commissioners, and ehotild have ] declared Col. Joshua Jameson elected, I as hi? thinks Col. Jameson received a 1 majority of tho votes east for County f Commisaloucnt. Ho reaches this con* < 'elusion by adding up nil the votes receiv t ed fer County Commissioner?, . wHch 1 makes 10,885. Thia he divides by the ! number of Commissioners to be elected, t which gives the vote cast aa 3,628. Then I 1816 would be ? majority of this vote, J and os Col. Jameson received 1876 be , hed a majority. The mistake our friend makes is ?u failing; to allow for the men 1 v;ho vo U tl foronly one or two Comm Isa- ? loners. Under hts plan a little over \ one-?ixth pf the vote east could nominate , tho Commlsslpnen. For ejemplo, tup- c llpftlln en election there ere three thou* 1 Pl||>voter?. .end els candidates for [ Commissioners-A, B, C/D, E and F, Then suppose that the whole 8,000 voten* ir/ra to determine that, they would only r Tote for a single mair, and 501 of them s voted for A, 601 for B, COI for C, 4S0 for * D, 499 for E and 499 for F. According j to.ont friend^ method these voies woul? ? give ft tota) of 3,000. Divido tai?.,by thc t number to bo elected, which ls three, * 8nd you have oas thousand as the veto * casi, aed 601 aa a majority of thb t prober, so that a little over ooe-aixtb of a raeu voting wonM nom?nate a par- ? iar candidate. The report given hy Wft?egers ' of. election was that there ? were. 3,796 ?r?tes cass. They did xy? [ report soy failure to vote, for Couirty 6 C?&?sLs!cr,t?? ? therefore the number * ti necessary for a majority was 1898. Col. Jameson received 1876, or twenty-two votes less than a majority, and hence uoder tho rule nu, to run it over. The limo question arose with Capt. Vandivcr for the House of Repr?senta* Uves two years ugo, and the principle was then settled by the Committee, and no Convention hus seen fit to chango tho rule. Capt. Vandiver ran over, and was elected. The same is likely to bu the re null in the case of Col. Jameson, hut we have thought it right to say this much io order that his friends might not be deceived into failing to vote for him next time. Ile has not yet been nominated. He lacked twenty -two votes of it. RESULT Or TUK l'ltlMAKY KLKCTIOM. The result of thc primary election ou lani Friday shows that the people of Anderson County either aro in favor of tho State University, the Citadel and tho Columbia Cana!, or that they caro so little about them that they are willing lo leavo them entirely in the bands of tho men they elect to tho Legislature. Of the men nominated in thc primaries, only one wus elected who ia opposed to the University and the Citadel, and he was not elected on this issue, but becuuse of bis personal popularity, growing out of the fact that he is nu agriculturalist and lives on one side of the County-tho sen lime ut being to have at least two Repre sentatives in tho next Legislature practi cally identified with the agricultural in terest nod representing different sections of Hie County, without reference to their views on these matters. There were only two candidates from the country running iu the primary, and both of then, were elected by tho highest vote? in tho primary. Ono favored mid tho other opposed thesn institutions, and thc one who favored them rau 138 vote? abend of tho ODO who opposed them. Of tho five candidates from the City four favored and one opposed them. Tho four who favored them ran considerably ahead of the one who opposed them, and we be lieve their position upon this question contributed in a very large measure to the result. As the delegation now stands, tbreo will vote for appropri?t ?omi to these institutions nod one against them. The Canal seems to have been swallowed up io tho interest on tho University, two of tho men elected being iu favor of com pleting it, if upou examination they think thu State will bo benefited, aud two opposed to it. One of lbs two who favor it is Col. Rucker, who voted for il when in the Lcgiblaturo before. Tbe two old members re elected, Messrs. Scudday and Clinkacnles, both voted against it. Tbeao wero the only former members running, nnd tho reault indi cates that this question played very little, if any, part at al! in the result. There is oce thiog, hoover, that may be put down ns certain, and that is that the next cauvoss in Anderson County will be conducted on live issues aud not upon settled ones. Tho University and the Canal will not disturb the visions of the politicians again iu this County. They are settled questions, and the people of Anderson County cannot bo induced to undertake the impossible task of abolish ing them. A Newberry Man Curses bia Wife and Theu Kills Her NEWBEURY, August 19.-A most dia bolical murder was committed at this place between 1 and 2 o'clock to day. Mr. John P. Sloan shot and killed his wife. It seems some family unpleasant ness has existed between them for some months. In November laet Mrs. Slcaa bsd her husband indicted for assault and battery. He waa tried and found guilty and fined and placed under a bond to keep the peaco. 'The cse was carried to the Circuit Court, and upon petition to the presiding judge the fine was remitted and tbe peace boud was cancelled. Mrs, Sloan would leave her husband frequent ly. About a week ago she left him and came to town and rented rooms. Her children, seven in number, came with ber. Her homo is about four miles from town. It is reported that last night Sloan came and stole two of the children. To day ho entered the house whero his wife was staving by tho rear entrance, found her sitting in the back piazza, cursed her, fired two shots at her ana Qed. Both shots took effect, the first entering the shoulder and the second passing through Mrs. Sloan's left lung nod piercing the heart. From the direc tion of ikit ahot it is evident th3t it was ?red after the unfortunate woman had fallen. No one was present except an aid negro man who lives on Mrs. Sloan's Elactation and had come to see her on Dalnes*. An inquest was held :Ms afternoon ind a verdict in accordance with the ibove~ facts was rendered. A sheriffs Sosse was Bent in search of Sloan im mc lately, but at this writing ho is still at large. The community is greatly oxcited over the terrible affair, and if Sloan mould be apprehended to-night there is itrong probability of his being lynched. The parties are all highly respectable people.-Dispatch to the Nevo? and Gout ii Just os We Thought.

BOSTON, August 20.-Mrs. Parnell, in au interview today, pronounced the ap parently official report of th?; proceed ings of the conference of Irish-Ameri cans, yesterday, to consider the position ai the Irish voto in the present canvass to be quite incorrect. "Tho story is likely to give rise to im pressions," she savs, "which it is essen tial to correct. First of all, there was no conference with Catholic Bishops. li deed, there was no conference at the Parker House at all, so far aH I am con L-erued, nor did I speak iu the name of my ?on. a* stated, at thc so-called confer ence. In the interview I had with mem bers of the preta it was furthest from my intention to represent, and I certainly did not represent, any of my suggestions as coming from, or being authorized by, Mr. Parnell. I am quite paiued to fiud that the few things 1 said in the interest of two nations-of tho Americans as well as the Irbdi, for, if I am an Irish woman, I am also a Yaukee-should have been twisted into so wrong and in accurate u shape. This threefold dart, in touching me, touches also the interest of my son of Ireland, and it hurts me all the more because ? am a woman. What I said to tho press representatives who called upon me was substantially this: "Certain things have been running through my brain, and among others is the question of the great surplus of the United States revenue from importduties. A good way to reduce the annual surplus would be to admit certain goods free of duty, viz: to allow goods of Irish man ufacture, which do not conflict with American manufacture, to be admitted free. This would encourage Irish manu factures and be the means of sending money to Ireland, and, in the end keep Irish people coutcuted and happy at home and furnish them with the means of support. Certaiu goods are exclusive ly of Irish manufacturo. Among the j list are fringes, coarse woollen?, linens, corduroys, moleskin cloths, bulbriggan goods, laces, Bellelk pottery,&c. A move ment is already on foot in New York to encourage the importation and sale of Irish goods, and tho movement is likely to become general. That is about all that I said, *fho story of a proposition either from ray son or from mo to the Republican and Democratic parlies re garding the Irish vote and the fur'her narrative of the explicit 'onus of that proposition aro altogether without the slightest foundation.' " Republican Rascality. WASHINGTON, August 22.-Secretary Post, of the Democratic Congressional campaign committee, discovered to-day that that committee was inadvertently helping along the Republican campaign by distributing Republican documents. The Democratic committee has boen sending out as oue of its principal campaign documents, the speeches de livered by Senator Voorhees on the im prisonment of McSweeney, the Irish sus pect, by tbe British officials during the Uarneld administration, and copies of the?e speeches are obtained by the com mittee by requisition upon the Senate folding-room. They nre delivered to the committee in large quantities, several thousand at a time already folded, and in wrappers, addressed by the committees' employees aud placed in the mnils. It appears to have been the custom of the committee to rely altogether upon the integrity and caro of thc Senate folding room officials, and to mail the documents received by thom without examination. To-day, however, an employee of the corot ittee discovered, by accidentally opening one of the documents he was about to mail, that instead of Voorhees' speech, the committee was distributing, "Where they would do the most good," a Republican campaign document entitled "The History and Beneficence of Protec tion," made up of speeches on tho pro tectionist side of the tariff question de livered in the House of Representatives last winter. Au examination followed, and disclosed tho fact all the supposed Voorhees speeches in possession of the committee were copies of this document. Secretary Post went nt once ti? the super intendent of the folding room, and took him to task about lite matter, and was informed that the substitution of the one document for the other was an honest mistake. It is not known how many Republican documents were sent out by the Democratic committee. They them selves have no means of establishing the fact. - The Southern Express Company has issued orders that its ?gents receive no more human beings for transportation. SPECIAL NOTICE. MRS.

Muller aud Secretary Chandler held a private interview this morning. Il is stated that the Republican maungcrs have to day expressed alarm at Huller's program for a fusion electoral ticket aud its effect upon Maine's prospects* in States J i tr Michigan, Iowa and Massachusetts, is uldo said that Secretary Chandler's in terview with him was for tho purpose of inducing him to reconsider ihis plau, and to run a straight electoral ticket of his own. A friend of Gen. Butler's ?aid to-night that he had positively relused to I mien to thia advice, and had stated that should he follow that course every one would believe the assertion recently mudo to tho efFcct that he was running in tho ioterest of Blaine. This was not his purpose. He was running solely in bis own interest and that of tho work ingmen whom he represented, and he diu not intend the peopio of this country lo believe for one moment that ho was a dummy fur any man or any candidato. He intended to make tho best of the re sources at bis command and to do every thing to build up his party. Should his program of fusion in electoral tickets in doubtful States be carried out, there could probably be only ono result, name ly, the throwing of the election into, the HouBe of Representatives. Should that occur, the people of this country would no longer look down upon the party which he represented, but would hereaf ter regard it aa a factor of great impor tance, and one to be conciliated. In his opinion it would also have another result in giving to it an impetus which would malo it ono of the great parties in 1888. Senator Mahone ia in this city for the purposo of occuring the aid of tho Ile Eublican managers to put down the re ellion against his authority of Gov. Cameron and others in Virginia. He described tito situation in that State us desperate, and naya that if the trouble is not immediately settled there will bo no possible show for the Republicans iu November. He called upon Chairman Jones it -day, but nothing definite was done pending the return of Steve Elkins, who has been absent from the city for several days. Mahone complains very bitterly of the support which he is now receiving from tho national administra tion. He says that he got all he desired prior to the first of June, but now be is not supported as he ought to be, and that it ho bad sufficient backing in this quarter ho could Bettie bis home troubles without aid from the Blaine managers. But be adds that cold water is thrown on his plans, and the Republican party in bia Stato is enfeebled and rapidly going to pieces. His interview with Secretary Chandler to day was for the purpose of securing the assistance which he required. It is said that Mr. Chandler promised to do what he could, but tacitly admitted that at the preseut limo his handy were practically tied. General Bntler on the Stump. PROVIDENCE, R. I., August 20.-Gen eral Butler spoke again last night in the Coliseum at Rocky Point to a small au dience. He baid he bad followed the banner of the Democracy unwillingly because it was the banner of slavery. He kept his bargain with that party, which in those days waa the nearest straight. Jefferson Davis was constitu tionally right. He fought for his party until he found his country was in danger sod then left the party. He stood hy greenbacks because nothing else was paid to the soldiers during the war, and what was good enough for the soldiers was good enough for the bankers. He Qtood by the Republican party until it put forward for President .a man whom ne could not support; then, without altering a single sentiment, he left and supported a gallant soldier. He brought the labor issue before tho Democratic party, and the principle was spurned. He left them and appealed to the people. He had not change?! one hair, und what he had done was not done in a corner. k Water ? Spout at Fort Kill.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., August 20.-The fellowing is a copy uf ex-Governor Hen drick's letter of acceptance of the Demo cratic nomination for the Vier Presiden cy : INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Augua* JO, 1884. -Gentlemen : I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your communi cation notifying mo of my nomination by the Democratic Convention at Cbica fo as a candidate for the office of Vice 'resident of the United States. May I repeat what I said on another occasion, that it is a nomination which I had neither expected nor desired, and yet I recognizo and appreciate the high honor done me by the Convention. The choice of such a body, pronounced with such unusual unanimity, and accompanied with so generous an expression of esteem and confidence, ought to outweigh all merely personal desires and preferences of my own. It is with this feeling, and I trust also from a deep sense of public duty, that I now accept the nomination, and shall abide tho judgment of my countrymen. I hnve examined with care the declaration of principles adopted by the Convention, a copy of which you submitted to mo, and in their sum and substance I heartily endorse and approve tho same. I am, gentlemen, your obedi ent servant, THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. Killed by a Thunderbolt. BRUNSON, August 22.-On tho after noon of August 20 three boys, (You mana by name,) went out to shoot an alligator. Ou returning from the bunt a cloud came up well charged with electricity, and be fore they could reach their homes tho rain began to fall. The parents of two of them seeing that they would be caught in the rain sent another of their sons with au umbrella to meot them. Two of the boys, (brothers,) took shelter under a tree while the other, a cousin, ran on. The brother who had gorm io meet them had not reached the tree when the light ning struck the tree mangling the tree considerably and prostrating the boys to the ground, where they laid aa ii thoy were dead. They were carried home im mediately and a physician was called in, who did all that medical skill could do to revive the unfortunate lads. The younger of the twain, who is about ten yearo of age, soon revived, while tho re covery oi the older, aged fifteen, was slow and doubtful. During the follow ing night he was at times rational, and then he would relapse into a state of un consciousness. Each of them was burnt aud scarred dreadfully. In many places the skin was pealed ofT and little holes or dents left in the flesh. The older boy died from tho effects of the shock on the afternoon of the 21st. The other boy is still eufi?ring great pain, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. The dead boy had a guu is his band when he waa struck. A piece of wood split from the stock waa the only damage done to the gun. It was not even discharged by the stroke. Mr. J. A. Youmans. the father of tho boys, is our town marshal. Maud 8? Sold to Robert Bonnor for $40,000, NEW YORK, August 19.-The Turf, Field and Farm to-morrow will publish the following : Probably no prominent man ever paid another prominent man so marked a complimentas W. H. Vander bilt has lust paid Robert Bonner. "MaudS., as all intelligent horsemen know, has made the fastest record of any trotting horse in the world. She is the only animal that has trotted a mile in less than 2:10. Her record is 2.09}. This figure a few years ago was deemed beyond the reach of a trotting horse. Vanderbilt was lately offered $100,000 for the great chestnut, but he declined it, preferring to sell ber for less than half of that sum to Mr. Bonner, who he knew would not trot her io public races. Last Friday Mr. Vanderbilt sent a friend expressly from Saratoga to inform Mr. Bonner of these facts, and ou Saturday Mr. Bonner sent his brother David up to Saratoga to confer with Mr. Vanderbilt. The result waa that. Mr. Bonner pur chased the mare on Monday evening, paying $40,000 for her. Of seven great trotters which in succession have beaten the record-Flora Temple. Dexter, Gold smith Maid, Rarus, St. Julien, Jay-Eye See and Maud 8.-Bonner now owns three of them-Dexter, Rarus and Maud S.

Thirty persons U?O ill with it and e\i have died within the last week. A Governor's Dangor. GALVESTON, August -Thc report ed urreHt of Governor Ireland at Houston is false. Governor Ireland, accompanied by Hon. Barnett Gibbs, candidate for lieutenant governor ; Congressmen Wel born and Miller, together with about one hundred delegates to the late convention, arrived at Galveston laat evening. Mar shall Tracy informed a representative of the associated press that he bad no in tention of arresting the governor during I his attendance upon the State convention at Houston. The marshal has no fears that the governor will seek to avoid tho service of the warrant, and heneo ho has selected another time and place for the arrest of the governor under the Fran cois affidavits. Tho famous miscegena tion caso of Emil Francois originated herein 1879. He waa tried under the State law of 1858, which makeB it a penitentiary offense for a white person to marry a negro-the negro not beiug amenable. The case was appealed to tho supreme court of Texas, and was there afhrmed. It was then carried before Uuited Staten District Judge Duval, and the ground urged that the law und".' which conviction was bad was in conflict with the fourteenth amendment. Judge Duval concurred in th^ decision of tho circuit court. Ex-United States District attorney O. C. Garland, who was then, as now, connected with the case, appeal ed to Circuit Judge Woods. That official thought the writ of habeas corpuB should issue, and instructed Garland to lay thc matter before Duval, but Duval died and Judge Turner waB appointed to the va caucy. Turner declined to take action inasmuch as Francois had then been ir the penitentiary long enough for th? question nf jurisdiction to arise. Garlant tuen sent the papers to United State: Judge Morrill, of the eastern district a Galveston, but they were returned to bin without action. Upon the appcintmen of Sabin the application waa again mad? but refused. Subsequently tho matte was brought nu by Judge Sabin, win called Garland nome from Connecticu for the purpose of prosecuting the case The question involved is the validity c ante-bellum statutes since the adoptioi of the fourteenth amendment, and al decisions so far of both State and federa courts have been that the State law doe not conflict with the federal constitution The question has never gone to th supreme court ot toe United States. I is held that tho fourteenth and fifteent amendments were to prevent discrimina tion against the negro, while thies lai discriminates against whites. As to th suit brought by Garland in behalf o Francois, charging Governor Ireland wit conspiracy to defraud Francois of hi citizenship, it is regarded by Governc Ireland as of trivial importance, and b the federal authorities here as mere foll] Horse Evolution. Let us see what distances have bee gained by thia 16 \ seconds of faster tro ting speed. In 1844 Lady Suffolk mad a mile or 5280 feet in 2 minute? 27} nc.< onds. This was at the rate of 36 feet an J inch every ?ccond. The whole distant gained therefore in the 161 second o t Maud S. in 1884 was 585 feet Si inche or a little over 1-9 of a mile. This is tremendous gain in speed and would Bee: to practically exemplify Dr. Woodrow theory of progressive evolution. Hors by training nave been graded up i swifter trotting. To do this many got things have been needed ; in the hon greater muscular power, hardier end rance, more zea'x us spirit, higher tra! ing, more practiced skill in the trottii paces, the fullest capacity ft r sustain exercise at the very limit of strengt and absolute physical health and perte tion of frame ; in the man every soie tifie appliance for developing and aidi the animal, breeding with a com knowledge of the laws of heredity, i sisting nalino, repressing the bad ai the weak, developing the good and t strong, skillfully using every advanta oflmproved track ana judicious drivir The result is wonderful. It is t vindication of the divine laws of natl and progres*. It is the triumph of s ence. It ir. the superb test of the grt principles of improvement. The Corruption Fund.
