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.

It will be seen that Kershaw County is
among the heaviest indebted Counties in

all future ventures with greater circumspection.
Whether the good to be derived

of those tilings which Mark Twain says
'"no fellow can tell."

Wonderful Prosperity.
It would l?o dillicu't to exaggerate
in telling of the won-lcrrnl prosperity
which is before the South (luring the
next twelve months. 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<?

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

Our Next (iovcrnnr I
On last Friday morning it was the 5

share a seat hesidc* a promising '
young correspondent o''one of our;
leading d.i lies on a tr p front Angus |'

South Carolina's next Governor.
Tins was indeed a rare pleasure J
ami was readily accepted
Seated in a bran new surrey, he- 1
hiinl a pa rof fine horses, we left Augusta
at 12 o'clock "in. 1
Owing to the fact that the Governor's
luutse was unknown to us and '
that we were on tiie hunt, it would 1
not he out of place for us to say that
we got lost nm<mg the gre.it hills that 1
stand like guarding sentinels around 1
the home of Mr Til man, which is I
situated in a quiet nook in a pretty 1
valley.
After five hours' wo.iiy traveling 1
and anticipation wc arrive 1 at the 1
' Governor s ' mansion, and were met 1
at the gate hv lli it distinguished son 1
of toil, C ipt 15. It Tilhu m, who cor- 1
dmllj welcomed us to his home.
After partaking of a wholesome 1
repast prepared for u-, and bus ness

his beautiful herd of Jersey cattle,
J ensilage pits, improved dairy, new j
cattle house and over a portion of 1
! his tin iving cotton and corn fields

POLITICAL VIFAVS.
Copt T llinnn would not speak
freely oil political matters, or on the
result of ilie recent Slate oiuvnsi
lie did not care to express his
views on any subject now as tliey
might embarrass him in Lis amieipated
ina igural ml Iress, which lie
will have to make in cave lie is elect
oil. In that address he will express
lii msel f freely on all unticrs aflVeting
the interests of the State, lint I
that time he proposes to turn a ileal
ear to all qnest ons propounded by
reporters of newspaper.-*.
He did not Hank, however, that it
was possib'c for the ' straiglitouts' to
concoct any plan to defeat him; that
his elect on to the Gubernatorial
chair is a foregone conclusion, and
says the people iiuvo already commenced
to call him Governor.
Cupt Tillman spoke very kindly of
Gen Earle, and says that gentleman
shook hands with him at Walterboro,
and said "well Captain, I am glad to
say we ended this tedious campaign
friends." About the oniy fauit lie
found with the General was that "on
the rounds" he "got off' sonars old
gag, nothing original, which lie w .s

thought the canvass used uj) Gen

for getting on his dignity at times
for lie (Tiihuuuj woul I "atir that
gcuticman up sometimes by culling
him 'put' mi ?'OS.' lie said lie would
have showed the same spirit hacl he
been in J3 trie's shoes.
Capt Till i.an said further that lie
had no personal fooling towards any
of his opponents, a > long as they
waged their opposition in an open ;
and abovebo.trd manner. That some
people nml papers have worked for J
his defeat in a w.iv that was disgraceful,
ami eirried it beyond the hounds ,
of common decency, which was |
nothing short of the lowest black

taken on entering liio Alliance did |
not hind a nicuiber to support that,

lie Careful What You Si^u.
Tin! Oli o Farmer gives the following
sound advice:
"Aleuts am traveling through the
imuiitry canvassing an I selling sill
kilitis uf articles un.l representing all
kinds of business, honest and ?Us
lioaest. When thu-so agents deal in
useful and necessary articles that
contribute to oar comfort unci con*
venience, ami sell tiiciu at a fair
prior. doing a square.business no object
on can be offered. If one knows
what lie wants, can examine the article
lor himself, and can nny it for
what it is worth, the tr.insaction is
inntu illy beneficial. Hut in all eases,
be careful what. j*ii i sign, if I lie
transaction is not a cash one. If a
written or printed contract foyns
part of the transaction, ho sure that
it expresses exactly what you want,
tio tin ire 110 Icsj. sec that there is
no hidden meaning, to chance to
change the terms of the contract, or
prevent its object.
"Mace no reliance upon verbal
prom ses of an agent, unless they are
incorporated in the written or printed
agreement, for they will not count
in Lho settlement. An agent may
in ike the most profnse promises nnd
tlie most liberal ri presentation in order
to comnlete t m sale, bat the s gned
agreement i9 the one )'ou must Buttle
by. If yon do not Uti >w w.bnt yon
want mi l cannot tell by examination
that the article is what is represented
ind worth the price, then don't buy
it. Or if a contract does not suit
you do not sign it. If you have any
doubt whatever, on any point, give
yourself the benefit of it, not tho
other fellow. Take cure of number
one and let the other fellow do the
same. If the agent is n swindler it is
liis business to beat you if lie can.
It is your business to defeat bis "bjeet
and there is otio infallible ciTec
Liial way to do it, and that is not to
