CAMDEN, S. C., SEPT. 18,1800. . ? UEOKUE JOIIXSTOXE. The recent Congressional primary election ia the 3rd District resulted in t ho nomination of this gentleman. He l?eat W. Renet, K. R. Miirniv. W. P. Calhoun and I>. K. Xorris There were two elect:ons After the first Xorris and Johnstone were the two highest, candidates and had to run the race over. The latter then beat the former by iwonty-lwo votes. It was. from start to finish, one of the most exciting races in our history, and this distinguished son of Newberry is entitled tv? the laurels he i>as won. Norris was the Alliance candidate, and every eff -rt was made by his friends, and every argument and persuasion used to induce the fanners as a class to support him. Mr Johnstone has capacity of a high order and the courage of Ids convictions, lie has fine oratorical power which, combined with his legislative experience, will conduce to his making his mark. lie is also a man of cultivation and fine social qualities. I lis native county has cause to be proud of him. aud we extend our congratulations to him personally. ^ ^ BAREFACED CORRUPTION. Tyrant and pctifoggcr Reed has been reelected to Congress by the most barefaced corruption which has characterized an election for years, and has returned to Washington perfectly satisfied with, the Jesuit. Regardless of decency and lost to ail shame, he dares to stand up in his seat and proclaim the purity of elections as a necesity in American politics. In common with the whole tribe of Pecksniffs, he prates of Southern outrage and Democratic venality, when every scoundrel of them is tainted with political leprosy from the crown of his head to the solos of l.is feet. Regarding the government as the property of the infamous Republican party and the heritage of puritanical saints, whose maxim is get all you can and hold to what you get by fair means or foul?these imps of his Satanic Majesty are the marplots of peace, promoters of strife, and engonderers of so tional hatred. When they fail to cipture votes of their sectbn by shrieking I lie bloody shirt or stealing pul>lic money in pension grabs, they resort to bribery to do so. And this is the great danger which now confronts (lie country. Aggregated wealth is moving in solid phalanx on the line of political supremacy, and by controlling National and State legislation threalei s toengiilf our liberties. Elections are bought up as the Roman Empire was, and tne shame which formerly made the vendees effect the bargain in secret, is utterly lacking. On the contrary, the contract is made in the broad lifflitof day, and the contractors arc rewarded with seals of honor and preferment, even as in the ca-c of the pious John Wanamaker, with a Cubi-1 net appointment. This delectable specimen of Northern piety and Psalm-singing notoriety, is on a par with the shameless and tyrannical demagogue, Tom Reed. They are "j>ir noltUe/ra.'r.mor as may he well translated, birds of a feather. And yet both of them distend their eyes in holy horror and lift up their voices in loud acclaim at circ.ionsin tiie South, and would force down ourthroa's the iniquitous Lodge lull ?not because they are virtuous, but liecause the South is Democratic.. If the elections here were carried for the Republican party, there is no wrong wo might perpetrate or uncanny method resort to, which would meet with condemnation. Oh, 110. Anything this party of so-called moral ideas does is right. If the Democratic ox gores the Republican bull, then up goes a howl and shriek for reform. This election of Reed's is a sample of their style. As he is a Republican, and a dirty one at that, it isalt right. If his opponent had gone in by similar moans it would have been all wiong. A curse on such hypocrisy. TIIE SEITEXRER CONVENTION.

Cotton may no longer be ting :is in olden times, but as a subject it brings to the South nn amount of wealth tiiat is almost bevend comprehension. For live years the cotton crop has been steadily increasing, ami each )*ear has shorn a gain over the preceding one?a record which no other (Wo year perio I can exhibit. In 18SG-N7 the crop was G.505,000 bales; in 1887-88 i? was 7.040,853; in 1888 81), G,1)38,000 biles; but thv number of pounds was greater than in the preceding year; in ISS1MU it was about 7,1230,000 b iles or over, and the indication^ point to at least 7,300,000 to 18,000,000 bales this year. Notwithstanding the steady increase in production, the price has ad, van ceil from year to )ear on account of the fact thai the world's consumption is fast outgrowing the prodnctiuu. The total farm value of the last four crops, including cotton seed, was about $1 500,000,000 and this year's crop, unless some unforeseen disaster befall it. wili reach nearly $500,000,000 i<? value, itie tiling the value of the seed, .? _. .? it< uef n f i u* Minv. li ?,n a ??aouv# jn UMUV.U ?

While cotton ha* be<n thus adding so enormously to the Soii'h's wealth, all otlu-rcropi have likewise increased. Corn, wheat, oats, tobacco, rice, sugar, trasses, fruits antl vegetables have made great gains, and while some of the-e crops, co*n for instance, will this year lull a little sh-rt of (last year, yet this difference in the corn yield will be more than counterbalanced by higher prices. In fact, the Mmt'-ern farmers have been most wondeifully blessed during the last five years, and they are now in bet tor financial condition than the fanners o' any oilier section of the conn fry Tliev enter the new crop year less in debt as a class than at any time Since the war.
