eight miles eaa? of Camden O'tr on- *
nouncemr nt of the name of the new of '
fice was premature, there being already 1
a "Turner P. 0." in South Carolina. 1
S-veral names were proposed, but the '
department njectod all of them on the *
ground that those names were already 1
borne hv nostoffices in the State. Fi- (
? ?
nally the department was requested to 1
select a name, whereupon the euphoio"9
tittle of "Okolona" was given to *
the new office. Having been aome '
what instrumental in having the office
established, we hope soon to have the
pleasure every week of directing a hun*
dred or more copies of the Jouiinal to

lincteen out of twenty members being
a attendance. The Committee decided
int to elect any additional members at
iresent The subject of primary elecions
was discussed at considerable
snath, and finally resolutions werp
dopted requesting the several clubs to
ote upon the system on or before the
tth of July next, and report the whole
lumber of votes cast for and against
he same to the Executive Committee,
rhich will meet on Tuesday after the
tth of July and aggregate the vote of
he county from the returns made. The
Ommittee is not altogether a unit upon
ertain questions of public interest, but
he otmbst harmony aod pood feeling
haractcrizcd its deliberations, all being
otnated by the common desire to do
verything in their power to advance
h? interests of the party.
Our Votino Precincts.?By some
iook or crook, the Democratic Legisiaure,
at its Ia?t season, without w
ard for the convenience of the people
f two sections of Kershaw county, and
lso without conference on the subject
rith any representative Democrat of the
ounty, abolished two of our voting pro*
incts?one of which, Cjrcton's Mill,
esides being one of the most important
i the county, was the only box in the
irge territory koown as "Western Wauree,"
or "Little EdgeBeld." We
irged, at the time the bill establishing
he various voting precincts of the State,
ra? before the Legislature that those of
[ershaw County be allowed to remain
nehnnged, with the single exception of
be Court rTou^e box which ioourjudgleut
simple justice and fairness demon,
e l should be abolished. Tt is only silica
be changes have been made, that we
arc ascertained that the abolition of
lureton's Mill and Liberty Hiil pre- 1
incts was over thought of. We strongly
aspect that the whole thing is a Radial
trick, and that the Democrats of
be Legislature struck our county a
evere blow without even knowing what
hey were doing. As it is, our friends 1
rom over the river will have to como
II the way to Camden to vote. Rut
re have no doubt that they will do so 1
hecrfully, rather than bo horned off in
nch an unceremonious manner to suit:
he interests of the Radical party.

Not Forgotten.?One of the pleaaing
feat ores of Memorial Day was the
manner in which the "Absent Ones"
were remembered. A beautiful temple,
made of laurel and cypress and "hung
with fljwers, and containing tablets upon
which were inscribed tho name of every
soldier, as far t? could be ascertained,
from this county, who dird or waa killed
during the war, md whose remains arc
not buried in our cemetery, was erected
at a conspicuous place, and was the ob?
served of all observers. As old soldiers
would read over the list of names still
familiar them, their minds would revert
to other days, and their eyes moisten as
they recalled th&hright faces and manlv
forms of those whom they knew and
loved so well. Verily
"Years may vo.

O'er tho dead who died in vain for us."

in the 20th year of his nee, fell mortally
wounded in the first battle of Manassas, I
July 21st, 1861. On reaching their
destinstion, they met no less than a I
dozen other ladies, all bringing flowers j
for the same noble purpose. Such was J
a fitting remembrance of one of the!
earliest, youngest and truest martyrs to i
the cause of the Sooth.

The government is getting too lar away

bility of office ho'dera to th ? peopl*., rod j
is the power used by the people to protect
themselves against ti:c inefficiency
or unfaithfulness of their pnblo servants.
Our people are now excluded
fmm any voice in the select ion of County I
Audicor and Treasurer, also Trial Justices
and Constables ; and our elective j
offices are selected by us by proxy. The
official aspirant looks to our delegates or
proxies for his preferment. If ffc can 1
manipulate them ho cares nothing for
,tis. C)?r government officials should be
selected by tho voice nf the people. Let
the office holder he dependeut on thepeople
for his office, and responsible to .
them for a faithful and efficient dis-j
charge of his official duties. Prior to!
the late war, political organizationa met
with no favor in this State, although
nearly a Democratic unit. The people
refused to be represented in National
Democratic Conventions. Our circumstances
and surroundings have changtd
A party antagonistic to good government,
to Innesfy.and to the interests of all classes
of our people, has been organized in
our midst, and for a time held high cnrnival
throughout the entire Slate. This
horror is ended, bat, thorough organization
is 'necessary to prevent its return
to the "fh-sh pots." Prompt action and
unity can on'y be obtained by organization.
But we must bo careful not to
substitute the means for the end, Organization
is the means wo propose to
use in securing (the end) good government.
I would suggest that the Auditor,
Treasurer nud Trial Justices be
nominated nt the samo time that the
elective officers are nominated. This
would relieve the County Executive
Committee from a disagreeable duty
and would have a salutary influence in
other respects. J. R. M.
Russell Place S. C, May 9th 1878.
Republican Tactics.
It is currently reported that the Republicans
have determined to make the fall
campaign acUtc and aggressive in the
Southern States, especially in those Congressional
Districts where there is any
probability of securing a victory. The
main purpose of their present movement is
to secure control of the next House of Representatives,
believing that the election of
the President may possibly devolve upon
that body. The material with which to
push a vigorous campaign is being carefully
gathered, and liberal contributions of money
are already guarantied to make the
{Ian effective. A survey of the entire field
as been made, and their efforts will be
concentrated upon doubtful districts. In
South Carolina, the calculation is le secure
threo members, at least, which would give
them control of the delegation in the
House of Representatives, if the aforesaid
contingency arises, as one vote is allowed
to each State. The plan of procedure is to 1
send speakers from the North into the various
sections, with the expectation J?-t they
would receive bud treatment at the hands
of the Democrats, who are counted upon to
aid their schemes by refusing to allow those '
orators to hare a hearing. The further
expection is that any violence or rfbuse
heaped upon the Republican speakers,
while they are canvassing the Southern
States, would recoil against the Democrats
in many localities of the North, wbcro the
contest for seats in Congress will be close.
It is scarcely prudent to advertise the
enemy as to one's intentions, and yet we
are confident that there will be a general
and unanimous response to this movemen'
throughout the Southern States. Tt will
be manifested in a determination to thwart
the object of the Republicans by aocording
to their speakers, every facility for canvassing
their allotted sections, and to meet
them <fn the stump at every <cross-road,
where they will be confronted with arguznent
and the sword of truth, in the pretence
of the voters who are expected to |
blindly follow their dictation. After suif-;
fering the infliction from a race of carpetbaggers
and plunderers, we can afford to
endure the presenca of these political mis
aionanes tor r wtuie, ami expose mem ?e-1
fore (he world as aiders and abbettors in
the role of infamy which has just ended in
the South. It would be delightful to get
Blaine and Garfield, for instance, to traverse
the middle and lower country, and witness
their discomfiture before they left the
State. The Democratic government of
the post eighteen months contrasted with
the turmoil nhd rascality of the preceding
years would be sufficient to squelch
the Republican speakers, just as it had silenced
the opposition of local leaders, and
constrained them to testify in behalf of the
peace, good order and economy now prevailing.
The keynote of the campaign is under
stood to be n series of resolutions which .
Mr. Edmunds will shortly offer in the Sen*
ate, reaffirming the validity of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments tothe constitution.
As t hese amendments bare been
accepted in good faith by every States reaffirmed
in our political platforms, and sol
cmnly asseverated in the oath of cYery official,
weeaunot perceive the advantage to
be gained by the formal declaration of Congress.
But the purpose is evidently to re
vive the electoral issues of the past, on
which the Republicans fed and fattened for
jto many years. This purpose, too, win
fail in its accomplishment, for substantial
justice has been given to all classes?irrespective
of race, color, or previous condition
and it is now too la'e for arousinr prejudices
and passions which have been allayed
by the just and generous conduct of the
Democrats ?Columbia RnjUler.

Diei>, on the 18th of April, 1878, of drop.-y
of the heart, in the thirteenth year of her
age, Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter ot
Wtliis I> and Eliza Aldrich. Death at ali
tim-s is distressing, hut especially is it so
when it enters into the family circle nnJ
marks for its object the pet of the house- i
hold; for it can be truly said of little Mary 1
that she won the love nnd nfFection of every j
one by her sweet and winning manners. Af?
fectiutiate nnd obedieut to her parents,
kind and gentle to her little brothers, her
death has caused a vacuum in the family
which will never be tilled, flcr sufferings
seemed to be excruciating, but she bcre it
with the greatest fortitude and submission. J
They are now at an end, for she is'
sweetly rosting until the last day when her
redeemed spirit will enter into its final
and endless rest.
Mary, thou urt gone to rest;
Thine is an curly tomh,
But Jesus summoned theo away,
Thy Saviour called thee home,
Mary, thou art gone to rest,
Ami this shall be our prayer,?
That, when we reach our journey's end, j
Thy glory wo may shure.
