She. is "ibx)itj^^grow^ We do not as a general thing think it appropriate /or outsiders to criticise the action of a County primary or Conven jion in the selection of officers to serve ople of a County, but we cannot to express our regret that the of Charleston should have themselves and the State at large; of the services of so able, upright ^nd^- accoiuplished a representative as ley dlurini defeating Gen. Edward Mc brady jr., for the House of Representa? tives. The ticket nominated is in many ?respects an admirable one, but it is Ktrange that local jealousies should have ?controlled an intelligent community like ? Charleston to the extent of causing them I to leave^off such a man as Gen. McCrady. [ The State expected better things from f Charleston, for by defeating Gen. Mc* ! Crady they have shown how little high and lofty sentiment and efficient, valua % ble work is appreciated at times by those to whom such services have been render We are satisfied the city by the sea, wiu. see the mistake they have made before the next two years-pass. ? The politics of Berkley County is at . present a little mixed. When their Con? vention met about a month ago, there was an exciting and fierce contest for the nominations, and since its adjournment cry of fraud has been raised, and an independent ticket nominated, consisting sly of the defeated candidates before the Convention. Some of these men are good men and stand well in their coun - ty, fl{> that there is real trouble in the movement. We hope the Democrats U be able to defeat the Independents, i we do not think, these gentlemen ? upon right principles. They ore the Convention and took ?chancea, and good faith requires to acquiesce in the result. The good should be placed above ail 'ambition, and there can be no ia success of the.

It is the offices they are after, and not the public good. Therefore, we think they are the very men who ought to get beaten naat Tuesday. THE STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING. ' The mass meeting to hear the address? es of the nominees of the Democratic Party for State officers, in Anderson County, was held in the Court House on last Tuesday morning: The Young America Cornet Band began playing on the Court House piazza, and in a few minutes the Court room was filled by the voters of the County, who wished to see {and hear the men for whom they are to vote on next Tuesday. Col. E. B. Mur? ray, the County Chairman, called the meeting to order, and requested Rev. T. F. Gadsdeu, of Grace Church, to open the meeting with prayer, to which he re? sponded in a brief, earnest and beautiful supplication for Divine favor and guid ance. Mr. Murray next announced that he had received a telegram from Col. J. H. Earle, the nominee for Attorney General, 'expressing his regret at his inability to attend this meeting, as he was engaged hi the defense of a party charged with murder. He then appropriately intro? duced the Heu. J. P. Richardson, of Clarendon, the nominee for Governor, as the first speaker of the day, and Col. Richardson was received with'heurty and prolonged cheers, Col. Richardson was laboring under a severe cold, but made one of his strongest, most eloquent and most telling speeches, going over the history briefly of Republican extrava? gance, their repudiation of millions of dollars of indebtedness which they bad . contracted, and despite this bad faith, in their reckless waste they .had in seven years collected in taxes from the people for State purposes nl?m? $9,607,000. He then 8bowed that the Democrats had in nine years reduced' the public debt and collected for all State purposes, only $6,099,000, a saving of over three aad one-half million dollars to the people, and running thr government niue instead of seven years. Col. Richardson then paid a. growing tribute to the honesty and good government which the Demo? cratic party had given the State, and claimed that tha fact that State bonds to-day only bearing fix.per cent., with but six years to ran, weru selling in the money markets from New York to Charleston'for $1.11, showed that the credit of the Si:?:ie is to-day better than it has ever bet u. He told the people that the responsibility for the govern? ment rested witu them. That the State officers could do* expend a dollar which was not authorised by the Legislature, and if there was extravagance in the government, ths Legislature was respon? sible for it. Ha said, however, that he thought the government had been wise and economical. He urged the people to go forward and not to turn back. He complimented lue" State on her educa? tional work, and urged that the schools of the State, fnun the common schools to the University, should be liberally sus? tained, so that every young man in the State should bav 3 ample opportunity to. get a thorough education, aud said that he wanted to see nuca a system of edu? cation established in South Carolina as would give the poorest in the State an equal opportunity with the richest for obtaining a thorough education. Col. Richardson spoke for upwards of one hour, aud was frequently heartily ap? plauded. The next speaker introduced was Hon. J. H. Rice, of Ninety Six, the nominee for Superintendent of Education, who made an able and strong presentation of the j needs of the common school system of I the State, urging a consolidation of small {schools, and the maintenance of better schools throughout the State. He spoke clearly and strongly of the evils of igno? rance and the necessity for an educated citizenship in our State. He urged the people to give mo re thought, and evince .more interest in Ihe welfare of the boys and girls of this country, and promised that when he assumed the duties of the office to which he had been nominated, he should visit the various sections of the. State to stir up the lagging interest of the people on his Bubject. The speech was thoughtful throughout, and was well received by oar people. The next speaker introduced was Hon. W. Z. Leitner, r>f Oamden, the nominee for Secretary of State. In beginning his speech, Col. Leitner said that he was not able to apologize for not making a good speech on accr r e of any defect of voice, as his friends had done, but his only excuse was that he did not know what to aay. He immediately proceeded to show, however, that his ideas, if scarce at the beginning, came rapidly, for he made an excellent speech, urging upon the white people of the State the importance of aetive unity in politics. He was facetious in his remarks about the condition of the Republican party, and urged the people by the traditions of our past, the necessities of our present, and our hope for the future welfare of the State to maintain our party supremacy in this State, and not 'o bo lulled into apathy or indifference. The speaker paid a high compliment to Anderson's Democracy, and throughout his eloquent speech was frequently applauded. Gen. M. L. Bonham, jr., of Abbeville, the nominee for Adjutant and Inspector General, was next introduced, and in a short, graceful and eloquent address, urged upon our people the necessity of voting on next Tuesday. He spoke of the importance of the militia, and hoped to be able, without heavy taxation upon the people, to put it upon a footing which would command the respect of the peo? ple of the State, and make it an efficient organization. He was pointed and clear in his remarks,, in which he illustrated his points in a pleasant manner, by which he delighted his audience, and left them regretting that the lateness of the hour had induced him to close his re? marks so soon. Gen. Bonham is a fine speaker, and made a most pleasant im? pression on out people. The meeting was then dismissed by the County Chairman, who expressed the hope that although our people wore not expected or required to give much time to the canvass, that on next Tuesday every Democrat in the County would I take time enough to go to the polls and vote. ? Sumac gathering is becoming a re? cognized industry in portions of Virginia.

A heavy snow storm occurred west ^?g^> Utftfc^ Op the 19th. The South Carolina Synod, which met in Cheraw last week, again devoted the greater portion of its time to the Woodrow complication. Dr. Gerardeau introduced the following resolution, which was adopted by a vote of 71 to 42: Resolved, That this Synod, being deep* ly sensible of its responsibility Tor the administration of the high and solemn trust reposed in its bands in connection with the Theological- Seminary, and deeming it important to the future wel? fare and efficiency of that institution that Dr. Woodrow should withdraw from rela? tion to it, hereby requests him to signify to the Synod at once, his willingness to tender to the board of directors at an early day his resignation of the Perkins chair. The resolution was telegraphed to Dr. Woodrow, and his resignation requested. He answered declining to resign under existing circumstances. The Synod then passed a resolution to the efleet that, with the concurrence of the other Synods, the board of directors of the Theological Seminary request him to resign, and if he shall not accede the board shall de? clare the professorship vacant. Three members of the Board of Trustees were also elected as follows: ' Rev. J. C. McMullin, Rev. J. G. Law and Prof. H. E.. Sheppard, all anti-Woodrow men, so that the majority of the Board is now opposed to Dr. Woodrow. The session is considered a decided victory for the opponents of Dr. Woodrow. Mb. Editor : There seems to mo to bean erroneous idea in the minds of most farmers of the present day?that of turning laud in the fall of the year with a .view of enriching the soil. Reason suggests that where there is a, crop suffi? ciently ranklo be mowed aud allowed to lie broad cast upon the surface of the earth, that it would be better than to turn it under and allow the surface to be exposed to' the hot sun and drenching rains. Now, any person knows that a hard crust is formed upon the surface of the earth, after a heavy rain and a few hours' sunshine, through, which the air cannot penetrate. It thereby keeps from the soil those enriching properties which accompany the air; besides, each succeeding rain drives the fertility of the soil deeper into the earth, making it necessary to plow in the spring of the year to a depth that is ruinous to the soil by bringing np too much clay. But says one, "we can plow deep aud not bring the clay to the surface." That is all true. But you can't bring up the fertilizing properties without clay, after the surface has been exposed all winter. The Great Creator of the earth has placed within it and the surrounding atmosphere, all the properties that are essential to the growth of vegetation, and if the surface becomes impenetrable to those properties that are in the atmos? phere, it is vain to expect a heavy .yield. Hence, the necessity for having the sur? face shaded during the fall and winter months. . Again, it is better to turn stub? ble very shallow in the spring of the year followed by a long subsoil,. thereby leaving the clay in its proper place. Land thus turned will retain moisture much longer than land turned in the fall. In conclusion, I ask those men who are in favor of turning land in the fall to give my suggestions a trial on a small plat, at least. S. W. S. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. p., Oct. 23,1886. It will be remembered that early in the past Spring the President bought a tract of land just outside of the District and proceeded at once to remodel the old stone house that stood upon it, so as to make the same habitable for himself. The road leading from the city to the new purchase was a very good one, but very dusty in Summer ana a little rough in Winter. When the improvements contemplated by the District Commis? sioners, however, are completed, the drive to the new home will be one of the most beautiful in the world. It is the purpose to extend Massachusetts Avenue the distance of a mile and a half in a straight line, which will bring it within 400 yards of the Southern boundary of the President's property, and to pave it with asphalt to conform to the other por? tion of the avenue. This avenue now runs from one side to the other of the city in a straight line in a North western ly direction and is 160 feet wide throughout its length. On it, and especially along the Western portion, are some of the palatial residences of Washington, in? cluding Senator Cameron's and ex-Secre? tary Blaine's, and many others owned by public men of the same note. In making the extension it becomes necessary to span the romantic Rock Creek with an arch at an elevation of 95 feet. A few Jrears ago a syndicate purchased a very arge tract of land lying along the course of the improvements, with the expecta? tion that the avenue would be extended. The story that the President and Secre? tary Whitney are members of the syndi? cate, and that the improvements have been projected with the view of making easier access to their purchases and enhancing the value of the same has not an iota of truth in it. The improvements were planned long before either the President or Secretary had any idea of buying suburban homes. Secretary Whitney purchased his land because of the beauty of the natural scenery about it, and bis desire to have a cool and quiet home to which he could retire after the fatigue of his day's labors during the warm Summer mouths. The President made his purchase with the same object in view, and because bis agent found that be could purchase the land adjoining the Secretary's to better advantage than any other land near there. The improvement would have been made whether these distinguished personages had bought the land or not, and is only a part of the scheme to extend other streets in the city for which Congress has already made an appropriation. Last session Congress made a liberal appropriation to demonstrate by practical testa whether raw silk can be produced in this* country. To carry out the will of Congress the Agricultural Department has had put up in one of its annexes a machine designed to do the work. The silk thread is nnreeled from the cocoons, which float in six basins in the machine, and is carried by a series of drums and wheels to the reels. The tension of the thread and degree of fineness is regulated automatically by an ingenious device operated by electricity. If the experi? ments prove successful it is expected that a number of the machines will be put to work, and the manufacture of raw silk be added to our many other industries. A cordially welcomed visitor to the city and at the War Department the past *eek was Bugler Marline, the sole sur? vivor, with the exception of one Indian scout, of the Cuater massacre. He was by the side of Custer when the latter spied the camp of the hostile Sioux, and Custer without leaving the spot tore a leaf from bis diary and wrote upon it his order for Major Reno to hurry up with his command, and gave it to Martine to deliver. That order saved the lifo of Martine, for when he got back to the scene there was not another member of the command of 266 men alive. Marline is here to secure a messengership in the War Department, as be is tired of a soldier's border life, and says that he has had his share of a soldier's hardships. General Sheridan is espousing the sur? vivor's cause, and he will doubtless here? after be comfortably lodged in the palati? al building of the War Department instead of exposed to the severities of Winter in the Western wilds. Constitutional Amendments. The following amendments to the State Constitution are to be voted upon at the coming election: 1. "That Section 14, Article IX, as ratified on the 16th day of April, 1868, be amended so as to read as follows: "Section 14. Any debt contracted by the State shall be by loan on State bonds or Rtock, of amounts not less than one hundred dollars each, bearing interest payable serni-annually and payable within fifty years after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt. A correct registry of all such bonds or stocks shall be kept by the Treasurer in numerical order, so as always to exhibit the number and amount unpaid and to whom severally made payable." 2. That Article II of the Constitution shall be so amended that hereafter, in place of sections 4 and 5 of said Article the following shall be substituted and known as section 4, to- wit: "Section 4. Tbe House of Representa? tives shall consist of one hundred and twenty-four member to be apportioned among the several counties according to the number of inhabitants contained in each ; an enumeration of the inhabitants for this purpose shall be made in eighteen hundred and ninety-one, and shall be made in the . course of every tenth year thereafter in such manner as shall be by law directed: Provided, That the Gen? eral Assembly may at any time in its discretion adopt the immediately preced? ing United States census as a true and correct enumeration of the inhabitants of tbe several counties, and make tbe ap? portionment and assignment of Repre? sentatives among the several counties ac? cording to snch enumeration ; Provided however, This amendment shall not pre? vent the General Assembly from provid? ing for an enumeration and apportion? ment prior to 1891 in the manner now provided for by law." Atlanta's Year of Drought. ? Atlanta, Ga., October 19.?For the first time Atlanta is to-day a complete prohibition city. Not a drop of any in? toxicating drink can be legally sold within its limits, and from this time be? gins tbe real test of prohibition. All the barrooms were closed on July 1 last, but several wholesale licenses held over. They have been expiring gradually until to-day, when there was only one in the city, and that would have expired six days from now, but by a decision of tbe Supreme Court of tbe State to-day that store was closed, which shuts the last place. Two weeks ago the city council passed a resolution allowing the city brewery to deljver beer in the city to res? idences on order. Mayor Hillyer last night vetoed this measure, which now makes tbe city absolutely prohibition. The city authorities are mostly Probibi bitiouists and tbe law will be rigidly en? forced. Prohibition will have a fair trial from now at least till November a year hence. ? Walking Skeleton. Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., writes.: '"I was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking Skeleton. Got a freo trial bottle of | Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump? tion, which did me so much good that I bought a dollar bottle. After using three bottles, found myself once, more a man, completely restored to health, with a hearty appetite, and a gain in flesh of 48 lbs." Call at Hill Bros. Drug Store and get a free trial bottle of this certain cure lor all Lung Diseases. Large bottles' $1.00. Thousands Say So. Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan., writes: "I never hesitate to recommend your Electric Bitters to my customers, they g've entire satisfaction and are rapid sei rs." Electric Bitters are tbo purest and best medicine known and will positively cure Kidney and Liver complaints. Pu? rify the blood and regulate the bowels. No family can afford to be without them. They will save hundreds of dollars in doctor's bills every year. Sold at fifty cents a bottle at Hill Bros. A Friend in Need. Carpenters, builders, laborers, and in fact all kinds of working men who are particu? larly liable to Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Backache, etc., should always have close at hand a Pomeroys's Petroline Plaster. In nearly every case the result is instantane? ous. There is no remedy equal to them. For over five years they have been in gen? eral use and stood the test of public criti? cism-, and are to-day more firmly establish? ed than ever in public estimation, and steadily increasing in favor. There are few families who do not regard them as a house? hold necessity.' Beware of counterfeits. Insist on having the genuine article. Wil hite and Wilhite agents for Anderson, S. C.
