The entire Democratic State ticket was elected in Alabama on Monday Bingham, Republican, and Tanner, Prohibitionist, receiving a very light vote. Some of our contemporaries have re vived the burning of Columbia prob lem. That has been settled. Sherman did it, lied about it, and, in his book, admitted it. CAREFUL Republicans concede that the next House will be Democratic by a reduced majority. Don Cameron ad mits that the next Senate may be Democratic or painfnllv close politi cally._ Some of the old Radicals, who have been straining their eyes trying to discover the split in the Democratic party, have given up in disgust. They .say the split has been indefinitely post poned. Correct. Tiie State Democratic Convention met in Columbia yesterday. Up to the time of going to press we had heard nothing of the proceedings, but we are still of the opinion that Gov. Sheppard will be his own successor. From all we can learn we believe that Mr. Dibble will be renominated for Congress without opposition. This is but a just tribute to his energy, and ability as a Congressman. He is the right man in the right place. The Columbia Record says Stalker is not a candidate for Congress from the Seventh District. He says he must await an increase of intelligence among his constituents before under taking such a candidacy. Sensible StraHer. All the legislative enactments in the world will not euro the ills that our farmers complain of. As long as they look to Columbia for all their help they will be in the. plight of the wagoner who prayed to Hercules in stead of putting his own shoulder to the wheel._ 1m"s""i"e*jeT!n"eTn the nomination of the only colored man offered an important position? that of Matthews, of Albany, to be register of deeds for the District of Columbia. For unadulterated hypoc ricy commend us to the average Re publican. _ Mrs. Kate Chase says tho women suffragists have her sympathy, but she has such unbounded faith in the power of women that she believes "they will do whatever they want to do; whenever they want to vote they will vote, and no power upon earth will stop them." Make way for the ladies ! Notwithstanding the efforts of the county officials to defeat it, Colle tonhas adopted the primary plan of nominating candidates by a large ma jority. This places the aforesaid offi cials in a rather embarrassing position, as they will now have to appeal direct ly to the very people whom they re fused to trust with the nominations. A precedent has been made in Colum bus, Ohio, which the Cincinnati En quirer thinks should be encouraged. Bob Montgomery, the Prosecuting At torney of the County, having a griev ance against the Sunday News, went to its office for the purpose of whipping its editor, and, not finding him, pro ceeded to vigorously thump the book keeper. That answers the purpose just as well, and permits the brain depart ment to pursue its work without inter ruption. The editor of The Times and Democrat has no favors to ask of the people of Orangeburg County so far as office is concerned. He is not a politician, but an humble journalistic worker, embued with the pardonable ambition of making a success of his calling. So, if the people of Orange burg County wish to testify their good will toward him they can not do it in a more appreciative manner than by helping to extend the circulation of the journal which he has the honor of controlling. The News and Courier announced la.st week the death of Capt, 1$. W\ Tomlinson, of Xew York, who was at one time on the editoriajl staff of that journal. The News and Courier says Capt. Tomlinson was a thoroughly trained journalist and a von charm ing man. In South Carolina he is very pleasantly remembered, and was im mortalized in a joke which was pub lished at the time that he was attacked by a colored member of the Legislature named Byass, whom he put to llight and shot while he was running. Byass, it will be remembered, at the time of the shooting mis-represented this County in the State Senate. County Tt-iicherV Institute. In another column will be seen the notice of our .School Commissioner for a County Institute for white teach ers to commence in the city of Orange burg August 30th, and continue one week. An able faculty has been se cured, distinguished teachers have been invited, and there is every promise of a most profitable time for the teachers of the County and for the public generally. Board has been put at such a reasonable rate that no teacher who takes any pride in the pro fession can let so trilling an item of cost stand in the way of so excellent an opportunity for improvement. These County Teachers' Institutes are of in calculable benefit to the cause of educa tion. We believe they are more useful than the State Institutes, because they come nearer to the teachers and reach a greater number. Teachers, as a class, are poor, and many of them cannot alford to attend the State Institutes. But the County Institutes are within their reach and means and they ought to attend them. Many of our country teachers have not the means of travel ing and observing the methods of the best and mcst advanced teachers. Here these advantages are brought to their very door, and they will not be true to themselves, to the children over whose educational training they pre side, and to the community in which "they live if they neglect thein. School Trustees and patrons throughout the County should use their influence to get all the teachers up to this Institute. The citizens, too, of the city of Orange burg, should, and we believe will, do their duty in encouraging them and giving them a hearty welcome. Teach ers, come up and spend a pleasant and profitable week within our gates. Tile Primaries. The following article which we clip from the Columbia Record and change to suit our locality is published for the benefit of our voters, who we hope will peruse it attentively. In little more than a month from now the primary election of the Democratic party for Orangeburg county will take place. This will afford a reasonable time for the claims of the respective candidates to be presented to tho people and lor the latter to make up their minds whom they will vote for. Each indi vidual Democrat will have the oppor tunity to express his choice for each of the county officers that have heretofore been nominated by the county conven tions, and if all the Democratic voters in the county turnout and vote there is no doubt that the result will be the choice of the majority. The plan adopted by the Executive Committee is substantially the same as thnt which Lsas tola! ml m'Qsomwh-wtis?cz.. tion iu other counties. The responsi bility of selecting good county officers is now no longer on delegates to a con vention, but rests with the rank and file of the Democracy of Orangeburg. This is no small matter, and it behooves them to be very careful in discharging the duty. Let them guard against the arts of the politician and the preten sions of the demagogue, and endeavor to ascertain who will make the most efficient and faithful public servants. Every attempt by a candidate or his friends to gain votes by questionable^ means should be frowned down by public opinion, which is the only cor rector and punisher of such abuses in a nominating primary; indeed, it is the ultimate safe guard of purity in elec tions generally. This is the people's plan of choosing their public servants and it is for the people to find out and correct all its imperfections. Experi enc9 is as essential in the art of self government as it is in any other art, and we doubt not but that the Demo crats of Orangeburg will learn by ex perience how to guard against every abuse to which a primary election is liable._ Texas lias the War Fever. The ease of editor Cutting, of El Paso, who has been siezed by the Mexi can Government and imprisoned, has got our Texas friends terribly worked up. The case seems to be a very sim ple one. Cutting, after denouncing his rival. Medina, and being forced to apologize by the Mexican officials,came over the river to El Paso, and there published a reiteration of his charges against Medina and challenged him, in violation of the American law. The government is looking after his rights, but he appears to be a rather unworthy hero of an international incident, and, in the language of the New York Star, we would advise our friends in Texas to keep cool. The weather in the neighborhood of Dallas and Port Worth must be very sultry, an 1 the valuable citizens of Texas might spend their time much more usefully than in cultivating perspiration. The fact is, in our opinion, that altosrother too much fervor is squandered in this Cut ting affair. We begin to perceive a deliberate plan on Cutting's part to do a little trading on the situation, and it is borne in upon us that (.'Utting is perhaps a person whom the Tinted States is under no obligation to coddle, certainly not to quarrel about, Several circumstances point to this conclusion, and conspicuous among them is Cut ting's refusal to accept bail. The ac counts we iiad received of Cutting's loathsome prison, the vision we had nourished of chains and manacles and cruelty?these were rudely shocked by the announcement that the victim had been offered his freedom and had de clined the opportunity. We received the impression that Cutting's captivity was not so grievous as we had thought and that Cutting's plans- included a good deal of posturing as a martyr. And when we add to this the very seri ous doubt whether Cutting has been outraged at all?the dawning appre hension that the Mexican authorities have perhaps treated him exactly as he deserved?it occurs to us that the coun try had liiuch better slow down on Cutting's grievances. One thing is very certain : Our Texas friends may make themselves perfectly sure that if the smallest indignity or wrong has been put upon an American citizen, this government will iissert itscdf in the most conclusive fashion. Mr. Cleveland does not intend to'occur for his administration the reproach of in difference to the rights, the pence and the welfare of the citizen, und it is be yond any question that the State De partment is conducting all its opera tions upon that basis. Our Texa. friends will be quite safe in cultivating a confident tranquillity of temper pending the action of the government. If Mr. Cutting has been imposed upon, the most abundant reparation will be exacted. If, on the contrary, he is merely a mischievous and disreputa ble adventurer, who, having defied the laws and outraged the hospitality- of Mexico, is now endeavoring to profit by the errors and misrepresentations growing out of the imbroglio, we as sume that most .sensible and fair-mind ed people will be glad to sec him treat ed accordingly. A Bellow from ISnll SwMiU]?. Editor Times and Democrat: As the Convention has announced the time and plan for holding County elections, it is but just and fair, that the voters should be informed, squarely and openly, by candidates, (especially' those for the general assembly,) how they stand upon important questions that directly affect the people's, pocket. The nominees to the State nominating Convention, were asked to define their position on several subjects before a vote was taken, and; so should the forth-coming candidates. No room should be allowed for dodging. We want to know exactly the settled, finally established opinion of every man who seeks authority to spend the people's money. Then, if we elect him, we have a hand in the job, whether for good or evil. The farmers, who are the back-bone of the country, are complaining?have a just right to complain, but, s they ought to remember, that "its all their own doings." They elect our law makers. Then why not elect siuih as are in accordance with their views and their interests. Nor, should /they ignore, by any means, other callings or profossion^ljJit -s?;>ply. jto-aa thdvdo. JlEey udvatlco thoir interests by C?flbi Jiati'<a--bo$crds of trade, e^-h?res, association,' &c. Let them doTtke wise?unify,' combine. Then select such men as are known to be directly interested in their calling and elect them to assist in making our laws. Then, and not until then, will the down-trodden farmer have his load lightened, and be able "to smoke cigars" and "wear good clothes" like other pro fessions. . Pleasant smiles, high-pressure hand shaking and great interest in your wife and children's health, can't keep "old hard-times" from the door. We want experience, wisdom, firmness and watchfulness, and, more than all, less expenditure of the people's money, thereby decreasing office-holding arid favoritism. I trust that the men elected from this County will have well-known ideas of retrenchment and reform. That they will consider seriously the many leaks which are continually draining our treasury, and the many privations and "big drops of sweat" that are required to keep it running. They should never forget "that little drops of water make the. mighty ocean," that camparitively small" sums here, there and elsewhere, will, in the aggre gate, heap an ocean of debt on the tax payers of a country. A. P. AlttlER. Sawyerilale Dots.. Sawykkdalk, S. C, August 2,1880. Not a ripple is yet visible on the .po litical sea along this peaceful shore; not even a breeze to cool the bated breath of the prospective candidate, We understand that Professor O'Brien will soon begin a school at the Sawyer dale Academy. The Beaver Creek school is increasing in numbers. Revival meetings have been going on at different churches in this communi ty recently, and the Lord has greatly blessed the labors of his servants. At Rocky Grove Baptist Church forty-one were added to the church in one week. At Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, sev enteen, if I have been rightly inform ell, were added this week. Only one protracted meeting has been held at any of the Methodist Churches on this circuit up to date, that was at Hope Well. At this meeting fourteen were added to the church and forty professed conversion. It has been declared by some of our oldest inhabitants that such a revival has never been known in this community u,s the one. at Hope Well last week. The preaching was done almost exclusively by the pastor. Dr. Hellinger, who is an earnest conse crated Christian. In his hands the Muster's work is sure to prosper. Let (Jod be praised tor what he has done for his people here. Mr. .1. 1>. Dury and Miss Reecy Knotts were married at the residence of the bride's mother by Rev. E. A. Price last Thursday evening. Trust. The Columbia Record says : "A new drug has been extracted from hops, which is said to he a combination of morphine, cocoainc and atropine. Beer contains plenty of the new drug." This is the first time we have ever heard of beer being accused of having hops in it._ The only favors we ask of the people of Orangeburg County is a liberal sup port of The Times axd Democrat, and we are glad to say that we are getting that right along. General Kcwk. Mrs. J. Hanson, of Oakland, 111., while picking berries, Thursday after noon, was bitten bv a rattlesnake and died. Terrible rain and windstorms passed over Columbus and Lima, Ohio, on Friday, destroying much propertvand killing several persons. In a recent autograph letter to a Xew York man, Jefferson Davis says : "I am too old to quarrel, too old to boast. The man of sense in his old age likes to be iet alone." During the session id'Congress just closing the South Carolina delegation has introduced 80 bills of which Mr. Dibble introduced 27. Ilemphill 21, Smalls 18, Perry 11. Tillinan 5 and Dar gan 8. Xeal Dow, the great cold-water advo cate of Maine, has opened his campaign for the Prohibition Party and has actually assailed Blaine and the lie publican leaders in a speech of great vehemence. Rabbits arc becoming so abundant in portions of Colorado that it is sug gested that the Legislature offer a bounty for rabbit scalps, to prevent them from overrunning and laying waste the country. Mr. II. R. Thomas, a delegate to the 'late Sumter County Convention is out in a card declaring that the Conven tion was packed. Of course, it was packed by the people to defeat the machinations of Mr. Thomas. In Pickens, last Saturday, Mr. A. S. Lesley was bitten on the hand by a rat tlesnake's pilot. He immediately cord ed his arm and Mrs. Lesley drew out with her mouth all the poison, so that it gave him no further trouble. In Cincinnati, Wednesday, a little boy, bareheaded and barefooted, reel ing with liquor, staggered before the merchants along Rice street, nourish ing a revolver. He lired at a gentle man who attempted to disarm him. Mosquitoes are so thick at resoi^s on the coast along Darnegat Ray that city people an; compelled to return home. The walls of every house arc literally black with the insects, and the people endure almost unbearable tor ture. Sam Leach, colored, was killed in the suburbs of (.'bester Saturday by having a mule run away with him. The ani mal had on its'gear and Leach's foot became entangled and he was dragged a considerable distance. His body was badly bruised up. George Moore, colored, was hanged at Charlotte, X. C, on Thursday for an outrageous assault on his own daugh ter. He died declaring himself inno ceut, but confessed having killed a man in Fairfied countv, this State, where he hailed from, 1872. Would it not be a good thing for all the old survivors of the war living in Orangeburg County to hold a grand en campment and get all the old com mands together during August and organize a County Survivors Associa tion. What say ye old war Veterans? Smalls, of South Carolina, ottered in the house on Friday a resolution ap propriating one hundred thousand dol lars for the relief of persons rendered destitute by the overflow of the Santec, Pedee and Waccamaw rivers in South Carolina. Referred to th^^ym^j^ on appropriation*. Judge Shnford, of the inferior court now in session at.Ashcville, X. ('., has lined the editors, of the Citizen $100 for contempt of court, the contempt consisting of a squib saying that two juries had been hung and the county might be better if the court and law yers suffered the same fate. The Kansas City Times is a pa?er that, in sporting parlance, plays both ends against the middle. Not long ago, as a newspaper, it sent its sporting reporter to report a prize tight, and as a great moral agent it detailed its police reporter to accompany the officers and assist in the capture of the sporting reporter. The waters of the Pec Dee during the recent freshet unearthed an Indian mound on the plantation of Mr. John Witherspoon in Marlboro County. An astonishing number of pots, jars, urns, &C, were unearthed, some of them grotesquely engraven. Several skele tons of humans were also washed from their sepulchres. Mrs. Jno. Prill, of Pittsburg, was frightened by the great storm on Tues day and ran "to her bed chamber for a vase of holy water. She hastily grasp ed the wrong bottle and liberally sprinkled her head, face and shoulders with sulphuric acid. Her cries brought assistance. Her life will be saved, but her eyes are destroyed and she will he terribly-disfigured. White persons have blacked up t<? imitate negroes from time immemorial. For a negro to "whiten up" to person ate a white person is something new. This occurred recently in Montana, where a white child was required in a drama. A local little darkey was the only child obtainable, and much grease; and paint was used in getting him to just the proper complexion. Mrs. Susan Bradley fell from the window of her room in the second story of the resilience of Mr. I?\ Opde beck on Beaufain street. Charleston, about 12 o'clock on Wednesday night weeek, and died in a few hours from concussion of the brain. Mrs. Bradley was eighty-four years old and was very iniirm and it is supposed lost her balance while looking out of the win dow and thus fell to the ground. It may interest Americans to know that if a man in England be rich enough he can vote in twenty consti tuencies. This gives the tories an enormous advantage. One church of England parson boasted publicly that he voted at fifteen elections. Nearly all the wealthy men have at least two votes, and a considerable number half a dozen. The tory majority was made up of these plural votes. A majority of the electors voted for Gladstone and home rule, but the plural votes defeat ed the popular voice. The Georgia state Democratic con vention met at Atlanta on Wednesday. Judge Ringham, of Tronin; county, was elected permanent President. Che majority rule was adopted. Gun. John B. Gordon received 322 votes out of M2 for the nomination for governor. It was moved to make the nomination unanimous, which was lost by one vote. The old Slate house officers were nominated for their respective positions. Alter a resolution of fealty to the Democratic party and endorse ment of President Cleveland, the con vention adjourned.

These teachers have had considerable experience in Institute work, and are thoroughly conversant with all the new methods and improvements in the art of teaching, in fact, they are too well known to require any introduction or words of commendation. Resides the regular routine of the insti tute in the morning, Superintendent Coward, Prof. Joynes, of the Soutitb Caro lina College, Dr. Carlisle, of Wolford, and others have been invited to deliver lectures in the evening, and it is hoped that all, or at least some, of then) will be present.
