Its attendance was greater than it has

and bright prospects hang around its

more : interesting occasion than
commencements proved.
The .Greenville Nods, speaking of. the
action of the - Anderson County Demo?
cratic Executive Committee on the ques?
tion ofnomfnating candidatsa for Con
grgas by .primary election, ssys:
Artderson County Democratic
Executivo Committee has adopted reso?
lutions against the nomination of candi?
dates-for Congress bjr primary elections.
Why ?' Has our neighbor an aspirant.

We can Imagine no "other"

primary system is fair, and fn the
condi?on of our politics, it is'. necessary.
'Save bat "one party and its nomina-,

;the. law is a mere form. .The
onght to .have an opportunity, tp. j
I
.express their choice of men and their
opinions of measures. They can have
neither with the present system. It is all
a matter of log rolling and lack in which
voters have practically no influence. We
send men to Congress from every part of
the State; with no. more question or idea
of their positions en important questions
thlm we have of the king of Dahomey's
politics.' Of course they call themselves
Democrats. Almost everybody " knows '
what a Democrat ought to be, but nobody
in this world can tell what an alleged
Democrat may be in these time*, for they
are to be found on each side of and stracf
dliog every important issue. '
The. people nave the right to demand
primaries, and their Interests require
thai they use.the right If any man is
afraid to go before the people, define and
defend his position, and trust'himself and
his principles to the people he is not a
fit man to represent any constituency.
?: .The News, is a little off in its under?
standing of the situation here. The
County Executive Committee passed res*
olutions recommending that the Conven?
tion instruct its delegates to the Congress?
ional Convention to vote against the pri?
mary plan of nominating Congressman,
This resolution brings the matter plainly
before the people of the County, and will
give each Club an opportunity to deter-,
mine the matter, so that when the.County
^Convention meets it will not take snap
-judgment or be liable to any "manipula?
tion. We always leave the questions of
party, management to the people in.
Anderson County, , and notify them; of
the que?.ions to come up before our Con-.
ventiojs meet, and hence the homily of,
our.friend on the evils of.Conventions
does not apply here. If the people of
Anderson County want a primary "for
.Congress they will vote for it, and if they
dd not want one they will vote against it,
and the News need give itself no concern
about the matter, for our people are able
to take care of themselves. We are in?
debted to our contemporary for its inter?
est in a primary in the Third District,
but do not remember to have seen any
:direct effort on its part to secure a pri?
mary for the Fourth. District. The News
has. its-habitation in.the Fourth District
and not in the Third, so that pur contem- '
porary appears to us to be endeavoring
to get the Third District to try an exper?
iment which the Fourth can take here?
after or not as the result may suggest
We apprehend that the Third District
will' scarcely make itself an experimen?
tal station for thejik^^
of the Stete. particularly where its judg?
ement is, we believe, against the feasibility
of the scheme involved in the experi?
ment. _
. Capt. F.. W.Dawaon, of the News and
thurier, who was one of the Board of
Visitors of .the Naval Academy at An?
napolis, appointed by the President to
attend the recent examinations there,
and report upon them, writes thus of
^ matters.-which will prove of persoDal in?
terest to many of our readers :
South Carolina has six cadets at this
incomparable Naval Academy, and with?
out count)ug Tarbox, of Georgetown,
?who is at sea, having already served his ,
four years on: shore. The cadets at the
Academy, when I left there a few days
S;o, were Victor Bine . and N. A.
cCnlly, of Anderson, of the First
class; 6. W. Williams; of Yorkville, of
the Second: class; M. B. Stokes, of
^Efampton, and J. B. Patton, of York
viHe^of. the Third class, together with
iE; B. Lowndes, ofCharleston. All of
these young gentlemen came to see me,
and Cadets Blue and McCullyj the sen?
iors of rthe party, were invited to dine
with the Board of Visitors. Cadet Blqe,
it need hardly be said, ia a son of that
Staunch and well-proved citizen of Ma?
rion County, the Hon. James G. Blue;
<jBnd:Mr.;McGally is the nephew .of .Gen.
Humphries, of Anderson, who, by the
way, was graduated In the same class and
from the same college with Senator J.
C. S.-Blackburn, of Kentucky, whs- was
a member of the- Board of Visitors. All
onr yoting Carolinians stand fairly, well
in their classes, and there is~ho present
doubt of their ability to go through the
course successfully... There was a little
bitch at the last moment, but it affected
none of our boys In fact, and; I trust,'
none in result.
Cadets Blue and McCully were in the
Second class before the recent graduation
exercises, and, upon the examination of
the papers in the mathematical branch,
prepared by the class, it was Been by the
examiners that in the case of some of
the cadets?not- including oura?there
had been a marvellous ana inexplicable
increment of mathematical knowledge
in the course of a few days. As one of
the academic board put it, a problem
which could not have been solved by the
senior professors of mathematics,; with?
out a. reasonable expectation of many
erasures and some stumbles, was written
out by some of the very dull cadets , as
fluently and immaculately as if it had .
been something less of a puzzle than the
addition of two and two; or the parsing
of a nursery rhyme. The academic
board, therefore, came to the conclusion
that there had. been some "gouging," as
it is called, and this means a surreptitious
obtaining of the examination papers.
As the sad result, the whole of the
Second class, now the First class, were
ordered to be re exami nod in math em st?
ies, and were trembling in thirfr shoe*,
just'.at the time when cadet*are ixpeclell'
to be mtrst happy, in the agonizing t,x
pectatiou that .the academic c<?rpy, an'."
noyed at having so much work to go over
again, would give them a hardrr exami?
nation than they had at first, and when
they were leas prepared for it. Hut the
superintendent of the Naval Academy.
Capt. Ramsay, was positive that the
problems would; not be -more difficult
thai) formerly, and it rested with him to
determine it. Of course, the whole
clans were to be re examined, because it
had not been practicable to find out who
the actual offenders are. And ko, as
usual, the innocent suffer with the guilty.
Murder at a Pemlnm.
: Abbeville, June 19.?The jury in the
case of John C. Ferguson, after being
out between four and five hours, rendered
j a verdict of not guilty between 12 and 1
o'clock last night. The verdict is no sur
{trlse to any one, a* it wai generally be
ieved after the jury was empanelled that
he would be acquitted. Only one ballot!
was taken by the jury, and the case was
settled as Boon as the verdict was an?
nounced. Ferguson went to the home of
his father-in-law, where his wife has lived
since his imprisonment. It is rumored
that the jury acquitted the defendant on I
the ground of self-defence.?Dispatch to j

OUR WASH! GT05 LETTER.
Washington, D. 0., Jone 19,1886.
Hot weather has settled on Washing,
ton at last, and everybody is anxious to
get away to new resorts, members of Con?
gress included. Everything is life and
bustle at the Capitol. The members are
early at their desks and late to leave.
They are e?rlybec*me the firat hour of
every morning is devoted to private bills*
and if constituents are to be pacified
these bills must be attended to. Nearly
the whole time from now till adjourn?
ment will be taken up in consideration
of appropriation bills. On Thursday there
were more members to be found in their
places than on any day before in the
session. Word was passed around that
a vote would be had on the. tariff bill,
and every member was urged to be early
at the polls and not to leave his place
until he had cast his little ballot. There
was more "button-holeing" done, and
more little groups to be seen on the floor
than at any other time for years. The
day was hot and oppressive, but the
members stuck to their desks like Spar*
tans. Intense excitement prevailed du?
ring the taking of the vote, and the
response to every name called was listened
to with ^breathless eagerness to catch the
aye or nay. When the reBult of 140
ayes to 153 nays was officially announced,
the Morrison, men gracefully submitted
to the defeat with the statement that on
Tuesday another effort would be made to
have the bill considered. The opponents
gave.notice that they would be on hand.
-The vote is generally accepted as a
finality, and as fixing the day of adjourn?
ment about the. middle of July. Hard
work and hasty legislation will now be
indulged in to the close of the session.
After the battle Sam Randall and big
macinaw could be seen most of the time
in the corridors talking with groups of
constituents and admirers, and receiving
congratulations. He felt that such a
good day's work: had been done that he.
was entitled to a holiday.
The next bill in order was the Naval
appropriation. During its consideration
not twenty members were, at their deskR,
although some fifty or more were loung-'
ing on the Turkish sofas and listening to
good stories in tho cloak rooms. The mem?
bers had discussjid. the merits "of the bill
jmtetch? oTthe chamber, and decided on the
way they would vote when the time should
come. They therefore did not propose
to remain in the sweat box listening to
speeches prepared for constituents, when
they could step out into the halls, the
committee roomu, or onto the porticos,
and keep cool in the strong draughts
sweeping through every part of the build?
ing except the House Chamber.
Outside of Congress the event of the
week was the President's two receptions
Tuesday and Friday evenings. On.Tues
day the fashion and elite of the city was
present. Mrs. Cleveland wore the train
skirt of her bridal dress with a low bodice
of ivory satin edged with folds of mull
and filled with lace, while about her love?
ly neck was the diamond necklace, the
wedding gift off the President. She
received with ar great deal of ease and
grace, and bad a cordial and apt response
to all the words of congratulation extend?
ed, and made a pleasing impression upon
all the guests. She was assisted by Mrs.
Endicott, Mrs! Whitney and Mrs. Vilas.
The Brazilian Prince wai present, and
was accorded a-special reception during
the evening, after which he mingled with
the other guests. In his honor the Ma?
rine Band rendered the Brazilian national
hymn.'
At the reception Friday evening more
[ than 3,000 people were present. The
rooms were as beautifully decorated as at
the first reception, and Mrs. Cleveland
no less charming and happy in her man?
ner of receiving. The President looked
supremely happy and bad none of that
manner of seeming to be bored that was
sometime noticeable before his marriage*
and he had a ploasant word for all who
Congratulated him on bis new life. Ever
since the receptions Mrs. Cleveland has
been the subject discussed in every house
hold, and the compliments and praise
bestowed upon her are universal.
A series of receptions to the Presiden
and hia bride have been Inaugurated by
the ladles of the Cabinet officers' families.
The first was on Thursday evening by
Mrs. Endicott, wife of the Secretary of
War. Mrs. Vilas and Mrs. Whitney wiil
follow in due time. Mrs. Manning and
the Secretary are still at the Hot Springs
In Virginia, and the reception by them
will.be deferred till fall. When it comes
the turn of Secretary Lamar and Attor?
ney General Garland it is supposed that
a stag party will be given. That will
wind up the round of pleasure till next
Winter. . H.
? An Arkansas farmer writes that
last year, when 'coons made havoc io his
corn field, he went to the drug store to
huy strychnine with which to kill them.
By mistake the druggist gave him mor?
phine, and the next morning he found
his field full of sleeping 'coons. He ad?
vises the use of morphine instead of
strychnine.
? Last Sunday the son of Derry Don?
aldson rode a mule, and the son of Tpm
Jones rode an ox. While they were
riding together the ox turned and gored
the mule, opening its side, so that its en
trals protruded. This was in sight of
Donaldson's wife who was in a delicate
condition. The result was so serious
that she died next day.?Abbeville Press

Van Winkle King Cotton Press
Has long been before the public, and is too
well known to need any further description. Its
chief points of merit are : It takes very little
room, is easily handled, and takes so little pow?
er ; can be used on all kinds of powers?horse,
water or steam, Ginning and packing can all
go on at the same time, without interfering with
the Gin. A two-inch belt will pack a 500 lb.
bale of cotton. It saves its cost the first season
in labor. Read the following testimonial:
Anderson,S.C.?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir:
The Steam Power Vau Winkle Cotton Press
bought from yon last Fall has given entire satis?
faction. I packed bales of cotton weighing 660
to 725 lbs. in five minutes with all ease, using a
4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not
seem any more strain on the Press than with a
400 lb. bale. For durability, strength, lightness
of power, small quantity of steam required,
economy of space, I deem it the King of all
Cotton Presses?especially so as the low price at which it can be bought for puts it
within reach of every man running a steam Gin. In fact I would not be without it
for twice its cost. I would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam
Power Cotton Presses, as you will.eavfl.its coBHnJabor in one year.

use. It never breaks the roll, and therefore does away with the expense of the
revolving head, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll 1b
in the proper shape of the roll box. Every one should examine the improvements
in the Hall Gin made this year, especially the improvement in the Feeder.
Second-hand Machinery.
I have a lot of second-hand GINS and PRESSES, which are almost as good
as new, that I will sell for about one-half the price of a new one.

GRAND
CLEARING
SALE.
In ORDER TO REDUCE OUR IMMENSE STOCK OF GOODS, and to
make room for the third large shipment of Dry Good?, expected to arrive daily, we
have determined to offer all our lines in this Department for the next thirty days
AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES
To cash-paying customers, and we wish to assure those who patronize us with their
cash trade, that they are only charged one price for the Goods they buy from us.
We mean this: That we do not charge one person more for the same article than
we do another, and that we deal with everybody alike.
In offering this reduction in prices we do not say that we are selling out at or
below cost. On the contrary, we are engeged to sell Goods at a legitimately fair
profit; and while we are satisfied with a small profit, can justly say that we are in
a position to offer you better goods, prices and bargains than many other houses.
We buy in large lots for cash, with our own money, therefore paying no interest on
them, whereby we save six per cent on the goods, four per cent for buying in large
lots, and ten per cent interest?a total saving of twenty (20) per cent. You can,
no doubt, readily see now why we can afford to make a large reduction from former
prices and still live.
We much prefer selling twice as many Goods as we do now at much lower
prices than to sell half as many at the old-time high prices.
It is conceded by every Lady who has visited our Store that we keep for sale as
pretty and well selected a stock of Goods as can be found anywhere, and our largely
increased City and County trade has much encouraged us to try to please the public
Ktill better in every particular.
We expect to double our sales for the next two months over the sales for the
currenponding time last year, and bee no reason why we should not do so, having
more Goods, at lower prices, aud increased facilities than formerly.
OUR DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENT
Is replete with BEAUTIFUL GOODS of every texture and shade, and our lines
of WHITE GOODS are simply superb. Elegant Novelties in ?
LADIES' NECKWEAR,
EMBROIDERIES, HOSIERY,
HANDKERCHIEFS,
GLOVES, RIBBONS,
BUTTONS,
And Notions in general.
A large and beautiful line of HOLLAND WINDOW SHADES, on self
acting rollers, just received. Price, 75 ct.*. each. Every home should be provided
with them.
IN OUR GROCERY DEPARTMENT
We carry the usual heavy stocks, and are prepared at all times to meet competition.
One Hundred and Twenty-five Barrels fresh ground Flour just received. Coffee,
Sugar, Soda, Rice, Grist, &c, constantly arriving and kept for sale fresh.
Levering Roasted Rio Coffee a specialty. Try a pound, and you will use no
other.
Come in and see us?we will do you right.

YOUR FRUIT.

The American Fruit Preserving
Powder and Liquid
WAS introduced last year into nearly
every section of the County, so that
it is not necessary for us to publish certifi?
cates now, but merely call your attention
to the fact that Cherries are getting ripe,
and it would be well to take care of them
for next Winter. If you were not fortu?
nate enough to use it last year, you know
nothing of its merits, but ask your next
door neighbor what he thinks about it;
and if he don't know, come to see us and
we will point you to some friend of yours
who can tell yon all about it. Remember,
it costs you only $1.00, and no dollar was
ever more wisely invested.
