It certainly looks desolate. The corn is cut j I into shreds and the cotton has nothing ; S s lc:'t but the stalk. Much of the corn ; mav come out if there are seasons i i c and some o: the cotton mav put on , fruit, but at present it looks that it ( i c will not make anything. i c We publish a statement from Col. : ' J. P. Gibson in reply to the attacks i 1 i I -: Mr. Pollock. We have known Mr. j Gibson for the past several years and i we aavt'. always round him a true j v Democrat.

He would have been wiser not to have asked the question.

It is narrow I and has been rounded so that you feel I that you are driving over a potato row t after it has been rounded up. And I then all the rooks and trash and grass 1 that were in the ditches have been 1 1 piled beautifully in Ue centre of the ^ road, in osme places where t;iere is heavy sand, if the clay, that is right along there, had been put in with 1 the sand there would have been a good 1 road, and then if the entire road nad been widened as it should be. All 1 the Newberry roads are too narrow, so j narrow t:.at in many places it is al- j most impossible to pass another ve- < hide without going out in the ditch. 1 ?.? |" The shooting of Dr. Mcintosh was J' a cowardly assassination and we sin- j cerely hope that the man who is , guilty may be apprehended and punished. If his purpose, however, was < to keep Dr. Mcintosh from appearing 1 ' at the Columbia meeting to testify against Blease -lie went at the job j , in a very awkward and foolish way. , If he wanted to get rid of Dr. Mcintosh why rush out of hiding and ae- 1 mand the doctor to hold up his hands. 1 Why not shoot from ambush and get 1 out of the way without being seen. , It looks more like a hold up :'or the j ^ purpose o. robbery than anything else, t If the purpose was simply to get ijd f of Dr. Mcintosh the shot could have c been f'.red more effectively, ir seems to us. fron behind the tree tnan by c rushing out and demanding the doctor to hold up his hands.

You are mistaken about our desire o mortgage the third district to .Mr Dominick. but really since you menLion it hasn't the congressman been long enough in the Aik.-n family?

We were under the impression that 1 congressman had a secretary just ike the senator. But that it not rnaerial. The congressman has the same allowance to pay for clerk hire. Personally we think Mr. Aiken evidenced mighty good judgment in the .election of clerk, it tnat is wnat you all it. and really it makes no dift'ernce whether ;e remains in Washingoil or at \.ome.

L'hen they could not apply for civil ;ervice examination. It was lurther pointed out that seniment was growing in bota the North md the West against the negro. The ,ime, Mr. Jennings added, would soon iome when the South could look to hese to help nullify these amendnents, but this could not be hoped :or it' men are sent to '\V;a^aington ,vho are unfriendxy to the present naional administration and at loggerleads witii the different departments )i' the* government. In concluding, Mr. Jennings said ;hat if the governor should so to the /nited States senate, the first resolu:ion he would introduce would be a neasure to compel the president to 'elease all negroes from the federal prisons. Throws Down Gauntlet, Mr. Pollock threw down t.'.e gauntet to the administration forces rrom ;he opening sentence of his speech. Plucking a white cotton bloom from m "E. D.

In the course of his speeca the governor said that 2,600 Blease badges lad been distributed, while his folowers were begging for more. Mr. 3ollock predicted that there wouldn't 3e oOO on the coats, if the audience vould listen to him. At Greenville last Saturday, the *ed-typed spread-eagled Union Rejublican ticket of 1880, on which the lame of J. P.
