It takcs miore religion to hold a man level in a horse trade than it does to make him shout at a camp meeting.

This evening comnaences the Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashona, one of the two most hox days in the Jewish calendar. This was one os the days that, in ancient times, as many of the people as possible were wont to gather at the temple at Jerusalem to pray for the remission of their sins. Ten days intervene between this day and Yomn Kippur, the day of atonement, which are called the ten pcnitential days. In olden times these days were scrupulously -regarded, and w're devoted to preparing the mind for the day of atonement. This latter is the mnost imp:,rtant, and is celebrated by entire abstinence fromi food and drink from sun' set to sun!1et, or twenty-four hours. The time is passed in open confession and fer vent prayer. Following this comes the Feast of TIab~ernacles3 which, to a great ex tent. winds up the holiday season for the is-elie.-Charkstii butgtt ep. 4. Summerton News. SuevnmnroS, Sep. 16.-Cotton picking has been very much retarded the last ten days by tL. constant rains, and if it contin ues much longer the cotton will sprout in the boll as it did two years ago. Brock & Rutledge's ginnery is running on full time. It is the most complete ar rangement I know of. You deliver your cotton in the hopper 'from the wagon; the elevator takes it up to the gins; you drive under the seed box, and your seed is all dumped in your wagon; your cotton is packed and delivered in your wagon: you don't see your cotton after it leaves your wagon until it is ready for market. The C. S. & N. railroad will have a tele graph office at the Summerton depot in a few days. It will be a great convenience for the cotton buyers of this place. The Harmony Presbytery will hold its fall session in the Presbyterian church at this place, commencing Thursay evening, at 8 o'clock, the 2nd of Octcber. Dr. John L. Easterling will deliver a lecture in the academy next Friday night, commencing at 8 o'clock. The Doctor is the only lecturer Clarendon county can boast of, and all in reach should come out to hear him. c. News from Silver. Sr.vEn, Sept. 16.-Ncw and then we find a dot for our column in the Tnr.Es. Our daily mail facilities, which has so closely allied us to Manning, closes on the 17th. By this change our Manning mail must necessarily take the railroad, which will make it one day later. This works to some extent a hardship to the subscribers of the TMES. The Connor Mounted Riflemen, com manded by Capt. A. L. Lesesne. performed their fourth and last drill required by law on the 13th, having in line their full quotum of men. On the 30th the general inspection is to take place. The Hampton Light Dra goons, commanded by Capt. D. W. Brails ford, will be in line, together with Capt. Lesesne's company, at Silver for inspec tion. We expect a grand day for Silver. A german has been arranged; a fine band has been engaged to furnish the music; and Mrs. Edwards will be the caterer. Young and old are invited. The colored folks had much display to day, fixing up things. Hog, rice, lemonade, and other eatables were in abundance. It has surprised us to know what a fine dinner they could fix up. They seem to enjoy life. They evidently deserve much credit for be havior where so large a crowd were assem bled. While our would-be politicians were assembled at Ma'ining, devising schemes whereby to obtain a foothold, the colored people here were massed in the pleasures of a sociable picnic. The store of Mr. A. D. Rhame was bur glarized and robbed on the night of the 12th of valuable articles. Before Mr. Rhame could get out a warrant for the arrest o the miscreant he left for parts unknown. Mr. John A. Way is putting up a cane mill, evaporator, and fixtures to boil molas ses. Judge Mahoney is arraigning road de-. falters. We have enjoyed a full share of the legal profession, who give us trouble with road hands. The woods are full of pine wood lawyers. - The contract for carrying the mail from Silver to Panola has been awarded to Mr. J. H. Griffin, for $150. The ladies of Silver gave another festival on Saturday the 20th. Mrs. C. B. Jones, whose sickness I re ported several weeks ago, is'still very ill. Capt. W. M. Knight and Capt. Appelby will in course of a short time erect a new saw mill just above Silver. Mr. Editor, I hope you may be seen, heard, and welcomed on the 30th. Come, take your own dots. Tom for one will wel come you. TOM. Picnics, Politics, and Nonsense. Eron MAssrING TxxEs:-Some time ago Mr. "One Eye," or General Speaker, in giv ing an account of "Picnic and Politics in Sandy Grove," says, giving vent to his feel ings, he started for the picnic at Mr. J. J. \McFaddin's. After an acute observation he found that some of the "outs" were there. 'No doubt Mr. "One Eye" felt that he was out of hew, for he was among men tat knew him too well to see with both eyes, and fortunate for him he only had one eye, or he could have seen politics and picnics in a different light, but we excuse him as he only can see one side. Mr. "One Eye" saw somebody from a neighboring county with the wisdom of Solomon, but Clarendon ought to see her aspirant and "General Speaker" displaying his wisdom and compare him with the "long nose" man and you would conclude that a greater than Solomon was there. Acute oh sierver has found the record of '62 and '63 of the "long nose" man and says his nerve won't do now. Well those who know him best will admit that he must have "nerve" or he could never be farmer, mechanic, or ganizer, general speaker, 9.11 with "one eye." Now if you don't believe "One Eye" has nerve just let him entertain you one night at his home and see if he has not nerve enough for anything. If Mr. "One Eye" has not found the pres ident of Sandy Grove club, he can find him by searching the records of the outs. We hope that after the convention of the 29th inst. "One Eye" will be honored with a permanent occupation in his native ele ment. L. P. Best Houses to Deal With. Brown & Chandler, of Sumter, deal exclu siyely in a line of goods that is always found in a first class clothing store, and their stock was never more complete than now. Read their advertisement in another column adgve them a call when you go to Sumter. D. J. Winn is one of the oldest merchants in Sumter, and his name is known in every household in Clarendon. He speaks to the ~people of Clarendon through our columns, and we ask our readers to give his advertise ment special attention. I. &f. Karesh has recently opened a store in Sumter, and he proposes to make himself acquainted with our people. He has started out in the proper way by adver tsninteTnrzs. He has a large and assrte stckof general merchandis, and he offers to pay the highest prices for country produce. Summerton is doing a business that will equal that of a larger town, and we account for it when we remember the fact that such men as R'itledge & Tindal had the nerve to start a first class furniture business in that town. They keep a fine stock, and anything in the furniture line can always be found in their store. They also have a first class cabinet maker employed, who does the best of work at reasonable prices. Moses Levi is one of the largest merchants in the State, and is always ready, willing, and prepared to meet any competition that may present itself. His stock is large, em bracing almost everything, and he says he will sell just as cheap as any honest man can possibly sell goods. Don't fail to get his prices. Smyth & Adger, cotton factors of Charles ton, will handle your cotton and give you as good prices as you can get anywhere. Those having cotton to ship will do well to give them a trial. C. I. Hoyt & Bro., Sumter jewelers, are re ceiving a beautiful line of rings, pins, watch chains, watches, clocks, etc., and are sell. ing them at very low prices. They also give great care and attention to repairing, and any article entrusted to them, will receive prompt attention. Now that people arc beginning to build and to beautify their homes, they will do well when in need of sash, blinds, doors, balustrades, brackets, mouldings, glass, or other material used for building purposes, to send for price lists to that thoroughly re liable firm, Geo. S. Hacker & Son, Charles ton. Ducker & Bultman, of Sumter, appreci ating the large patronage they have been receiving from the people of Clarendon in the past, are asking for a continuance of that trade by calling the attention of our* readers to the immense stock of goods they have recently laid in and are constantly getting in. 'These gentlemen are progres sive and reliable merchants, and once they get a customer they hold him. See their advertisement in another column. S. R. Cole, of Sunmmerton, will sell his goods at prices that will surely please, and he is prepared to offer some rare bargains. Call on him and get his prices. Jacks Creek Alliance. Jacks Creek Alliance will meet at the Pa nola school house Friday, Sep. 19th, for the purpose of paying quarterly dues and tran sacting other important business. J S. Cm~EY. Pres. News from Hodge's Corner. l1ODGE's CoRNERt, Sept. 10.-As I never see anything from here, will try from now on to send the news to the TI-Es, whenever there is anything worth writing. Crops are still looking very promising in this section, and all the farmers are busy gathering cotton, &c. Misses Louaina and Emmuia Brown, who have been visiting Miss Lily Ilidg<-. lLve returned to their houe in Sumter, after a pleasant visit of over two weeks. Alisses Lily and Alice Hidge left to-day for Sumter. They expect, to visit friends at Mechanicsville also. Misses Ollie and Fannie Lide have just returned from an extended visit to Bishop ville and Mayesville. Misses Annie and Emmie James, of Bishopville, are visiting them now. The Alliance men are speaking of having a picnic at an early day. Will certainly ex tend an invitation to the Editor of the TIxMs. H. J. F. Resolutions by Trinity Alliance. Tirx1T HALtt, CLAaiNoox Co., S. C., j September tth, 11. I At a regular meeting of Trinity .nb-Alli ance, No. 901, held this day tie following officers were elected to serve the ensuing term: John S. Cole, president; T. J. Cole, vice president; P. C. Cochran, secretary; J. H. Tindal, treasurer; A. J. Tindal, chaplain; S. H. Bradham, lecturer; J. B. and E. B. Tindal, door keepers; W. I. Hudnal, busi ness agent. After the election of officers and the tran saction of other business the following res olutions were submitted and unanimously adopted: WHEEEAS, we the Trinity Alliance believe that the recent sudden decline in the price of cotton is due not to an overstocked mar ket, but to the scheming of speculators to keep the price down until the poor farmers have been forced to sell their cotton crops at disastrous prices to them; therefore be it Resolved, That we the Trinity Alliance appeal to our managers in authority to de vise some plan by which the farmers can meet their obligations, upon deposit of their bale cotton, without being forced to sell at the prespnt ruinous prices. Resolved, That we the Trinity Alliance ap peal to the members of our order through out the cotton States to hold their cotton crop as long as possible until the prices are remunerative to the farmers. Resolved, That the secretary send these resolutions to the Cbllou Plant and county papers for publication. P. C. Cocmu,\, Secretary. Republican County Convention. The Republicans of this county met in the court house last Saturday, and were called to order by their county chairman, Syfax Milton. He was also made perma nent president and Julius DuRant was made secretary. While the committee on credentials were at work examining the credentials of the delegates the chairman invited speeches from the delegates. Revs. McDutlie and Tor rence made speeches, and both were very conservative in tone and manner. The committee having finished their work reported a certain delegate to be strick en from the list of the Packsville delegation and in his stead the name of some one else to be placed, on the ground that this dele gate took part in the election of delegates at the Manning precinct election. The report was adopted. Chairman Milton then announced that an election was in order for a county chairman to serve for the next two years, and request ed Gilbert Henry to take the chair, after which he retired from the hall. Rev. A. E. Torrence nominated Syfax Milton with a very sensible and complimentary speech, which was seconded by 1. A. Stewart. Lee David placed in nomination Gilbert Henry, but Henry asked David to -withdraw the nomination, as he was not a candidate for the position. David declining to withdraw the name an election was entered into, re sIting almost unanimously in favor of Milton. The chair appointed a committee >f two to wait upon the county chairman elect and notify him of his election. The newly made county chairman was escorted to the chair, and in accepting made a long speech, taking to task some of the members of the convention who were 01) posed to him on the gr-ound that his skin was black. Edmund Deas, the chronic candidate for G. 0. P. congressional honors, was called upon for a speech, and in response to the( invitation he arraigned both factions of the Democratic party. Hie did not favor putting a ticket in the hleld, but predicted that the time was not far off when they would be ble to elect a ticket. He said that the nig ger had had his day, the aristocrat his, and now the poor buckra was going to have his, although Mr. Tillman, who was their leader, had sprung from the best stock of England, yet now claiming to be one of the common people. It was then announced that an election would take place for State and congression al delegates, syhen one of the members de manded that the call from the State conven for this election be read. Chairman Milton stated that he was not in possession of' the call and had never seen it, whereupon a charge was made accusing the postmaster at this place with intercepting the call. This brought about such confusion that the c in vention was unable to proceed, and they took a recess until Monday morning. On Monday when the convention re- con vened R. A. Stewart the party charged with intercepting the letter containing the call from the State chairman obtained the floor on a question of privilege and in an emo tional theatrical manner proceeded to ex plain his connection with the call. He was frequently interrupted by delegates asking "de priviledge ob askin' de gemimen one queshun." The interrogations were v-ery ludicrous and annoying, and at times pandemonium reigned, however Stewvart showed that the charge against him was not only untrue but that it emanated from jealous politicaml en emies. Delegates to the State and congressional conventions were then elected. 'The State delegates are Syfax Milton, Madison Cantey, and Gilbert Henry. The congressional del egates are Rev. WV. W. McDuffie, Lee David, A. S. Boston, and William Dozier. After the election of delegates a resolution was of fered to endorse Webster for State chairman. This brought about a great many speeches, the principal orators being R. A. Stewart, Rev. A. E. Torrence, and Julius Dullant. Stewart made an eloquent appeal to the convention against the e-ndorsement of Webster and advocated sendling the dele gates to the convention uninstructed. His speech had the desired effect and the con vention by a large vote refused to endorse aybody. A collection was then taken up to pay the delegates' expenses, and the convention amd journed. *No More Radicalism. Speaking of the changed political situa tion in South Carolina since the recent Dem ocratic convention, the JIuriford l' aru'wt re marks, among other things, that, '"The Charleston Ne es and (Onrer eats its crow, as it promised to." Well, that is about what it mounts to, but our H1 .rtford contemporary should not blame us for doing the best we can under the circumstances. We have all had one taste of Republican buzzard in our State polities, and campared wvith that odor us and odious fowl, almost any kind of Democratic bird "goes" like quail on toast or a thanksgiving turkey. - Ne'es ,n'l Osbier-,.

Sumter Has Some Hot Headed Leaders Who Apparently Would Rather Rule fi Hell Than Serve in ieaven. NewTRn, Sept. 12. -- Caipt. P. P. Gaillard to-day received the following coin unica tion: Il:AaQ'AirFns S-vrvrr Ex. COMEITEE, i Cohunilbia. SepJt. 111, Vi JO. Capt. 1. 1'. Gaillad, Chairman County Execuitive Comm11ittei,- I-o ntter. )ear Sir: Bv dir ,ction 4f this conmittee I beg leave to inform ou tiof the following resolution adopted by 'said eniniittee: /:exlenl. Th at Capt. P. Gaillard be re qIuested and directed to call upon all the inembers of the executive committee exist ing prioir to Sept. 8, 18110, of the Deinocratic elubs of StOiitr couitv to nit together at Sumter C. H. Sept. 19, at 12 o'clock, noon, for the purpose of reorganizing the Demo cratic party of Sumter county, in accordance with the provisions of the State constitution adopted by the September convention of 1 10. Itv order of Execntive Committee. Jon-, L M. lIny, Chmn. G. )1-e\ R% 1:msxuA Enl, Sec. In answer to the question what ie would do in regard to it, hie said that. he was no longer chai rman of the county execntive committee; that Dr. John S. Hlughson had been elected to that position by the conven tionl held here on Sept. 8, aid that he had no right whatever to usurp Dr. Huglison's authority in calling together the c'omimittee. Ile will have nothing to do with it. In a conversation with Col. Earle this morning he gave the following to your cor respondent as his view of the action of the State convention held in Columbia on the 10th inst. In his own languaige' hie said: "I do not regard the State eonvention as legal because a majority of the members excluded from the Ideliberations of that body, for no just cause, the delegation from Sumter. It is my opinion that the Demnoc racy of the State has no right to act so as to bind the body when they completely ignored the Democrats of a county. Such revolu tionary action in my jndgment releases any Democrat who did not take part in the pro ceedings from any obligation to supportthe ticket set up by them. While this is true, I will not favor any movement looking to the defeat of the ticket by the aid of the negro vote. White supremacy iust be sustained, even if we suffer wrong at the hands of a portion of the Democracy." "In reference to county afthiirs, the county has already been regularly organized, and if re-organization be attempted by Col. Irby, it will probably result in the placing of two tickets in the field, and the Antis will not be responsible for it."-harkston Wrld. SUnTEn, Sept. 13. --The action of the State convention in refusing to seat the delegates from this county has been the cause of much comment and criticism here. It looks like the convention saw that it could not seat the Tilhuan delegation and, therefore, would not seat the Straiglitouts. Our county politics remain in statu quo. If the State excentive committee should re fuse to recognize the regular executive con imttee of this county, of which Dr. John S. IHugh-on is chairman, there may be some trouble. It is hoped that the issue will not be forced. The people are beginning to turn their attention to the primary which is to come off on the 25th inst. As yet candi dates are not very numerous. Messrs. Al tamont Moses and A. K. Sanders are candi dates for re-election to the Legislature, and Col. 11. E. L. Peebles, who was a member of the House 1882 3 is also a candidate. The Hon. Marion Moise is a candidate for-re election to the Senate, and is opposed by Col. W. D. Scarborough, who is a prominent planter. So far no Tillman candidates have been publicly announced, although the air is full of rumors concerning them. This matter will probably be decided by them when their convention reassembles on the 20th inst. Of course, it is not known yet wheth er the Tillmanites will participate in the primary that has been ordered or not, as they ignored the county convention last Monday.--Ncrs aoi,,Iar SVmnET, Sep. 13. - The Tillmanite county executive commiittee met to-day to decide what action it would take in regard to the primiary election ordered by the Struightout executive comniittee for Sepi. 25. T1he de cision arrived at w~as that it would have nothing whatever to do wvith the primary, sine according to its wvay of thinking, and according to the decision of the comnmittee on credentials of the State convention, both the conventions held in Sumter on Sep. 8 were ille*gal and unconstitutional, and the action of the executive committee elected by either convention waLs not bindiing on the Deniocrats of the conty. TIhe TIillimanites appointed on the boards of managers for the several election precinets wvill not serve. For the rest they wu'tl mieet, as a caucus, on Saturday, Sep. 21), as agreed upon at their convention on the 8th, andi will then decide what future. course to p~ursue. This will probably be as laid down in the Wlorl to. day, and in November there wvill be two tickets in the field.-larleston World. THlE LADIES DELIGHTED.
