The self respecting, law-abiding negroes have no better friends in the world than their white neighbors in this country, and every time they refuse to listen to these Northern cranks they an; adding another link to that chain of friend ship. The population reports of t he twelfth census furnish some interesting tigures for comparison with tin', populations of the old world cities, and show among other things that the United States has a greater number of great cities than any other country on the globe. We have the distinction of having more cities with 1,000,00!) population and upward than any other nation in the world. No other country has more than ore- city which passes that mark, while the United States has tliroi? New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. It would have had four il Brooklyn had not been annexed to New York, us the Borough of Brooklyn has gone con siderably beyond that point this year. There Is m? doubt that the State building which is to be erected on tin1 grounds at the South Carolina Inter state ami West Indian Imposition and which is designed toshow the resources of each county of the State, will con tain much that will prove a revelation to the outside world. The growing of wheat ami the making ol: Hour arc in dustries which have attained larger proportions in South Carolina thau is generally known. Few realize the im portance of the experiments recently made in this State in the growing'of hemp, and one feature in which Smith Carolina will be ahead of all other States will be the tea exhibit from t la the farm at sutntnerville. It is now estimated by thousands of tin.' best informed leaders in the west that the D?mocratie ticket, will get from tit) to HO per cent of the German vote in November next. This is a very largo gain over the 25 to .'!t> per cent in 1800. Added to this very large number of German Republican newspapers have espoused the cause of Democracy, us have also a large number of German independent papers. Added to this there are lnrgo accessions from Repub lican rauksof leading men, who refuse to wear tho yoke of the party longer. The outlook in the west is bright with hope, and the Democrats in the east are making it warm for the enemy Truth and justice are marching on to victory. The result of the second primary election last Tuesday has already been declared, and the race exciting the most general interest throughout the State has closed with a most satisfac tory good feeling. We refer to the race for Governor in which both con testants wen- high-toned, honorable gentlemen, above the petty, spiteful machinations of scheming and unprin cipled politicians. The campaign throughout lias been conducted upon the high plane belltting the eminent dignity of tho position to which they both aspired. It is an encouraging sign of the times and lends a ray of hope that South Carolina politics may yet be conducted in a dignified, imper sonal and dispassionate vein. To the valiant but vanquished Iloyt, we send hearty congratulations. Ho has proven a generous focman, and hns won for himself a place in the hearts of all true Carolinians whether supporters of his in his contest or not. The very hand some vote he received is an elegant testimonial of the high regard in which he is held, and while a large vote, it is not in the least 11 after in g for it was his due. (iov. McSweeney then hns just cause for congratulation when ho re flects upon tho magnetic personality of his opponent and the streng following he commanded so bravely. Due credit is paid to Oov. McSweeney's former administration through the returns in tho emphasized endorsement so given him. The L\Ti;i.i.i(iEXCKu then urges tho supporters and opponents of the present administration to bury all dif ferences, forgot the divisions, and labor for tho advancement of the general good regardless of former factional differences. . ? In the second primary in Green ville last week the two candidates for Sheriff had a close race. J. D. Gilrcath received 2,850 votes and J. Perry Poole \2,801. In Greenwood County the roco fo/ Senator was even, closer, J. M. /Gaines having received 800 votes and S. H. McGeefcO. In the latter County there were only four votes difference in the race for the Legislature between two candidates.

McCrnry was the third daughter of the late Harry Martin and Mrs. Mary Martin. Eight years ago, Miss Lillian, the second (laughter, died suddenly, in exactly the s;mic way as Mrs. Mc Crary. Only about fourteen months ago the father himself passed to rest. Verily the shadows are long and dark. The young husband, too, is in grief un utterable. May the gootl Father give grace as abounding as the sorrow. Mrs. McCrury was con vert e,1 and joined the Methodist Church when eleven years of age. Her profession has since been adorned with a life that w:is gentle, unselfish and consistent, and she met the end with unfaltering faith. In Sharon Church yard her bodj sleeps, hut the splendor of the resur rection morn bleaks in upon the dark ness of the graive and hangs the bow of promise over the dust oi ur dead. lt. K. S.

Moorliead. three miles northeast of the city of Ander son. Owing to the fact that no public notice had been given, but compara tively few of the numerous families wen- present. In the ninety seven persons who were present, down to the sixth generation was represented. This was a grand occasion, since it brought together members of this 'family w ho had never met.

The table, which had been erected in the grove, was burden ed with every good thing that could be desired to satisfy the inner man. At 1 o'clock, God's blessing was ihvoked by elder Stevenson, and the crowd be gan to relievo the festive board of its burden, and after everybody hail been amply refreshed, in the afternoon, some old "family relics were exhibited. Among them were a spider and a cof fee mortar that, was brought from Pennsylvania. A paper on the origin of the Moorliead name was rend and also an historical sketch of the family. These sketches will be published later. Late in the afternoon the relatives began to go aw ay, soino to their farms and some to their merchandise. K. H. MooiUIF.ao. Pendleten Items.
