To the Democratic voters of Burnwcl
County,! must say, I felt very uiuchcn-
eonruged at tho feelings mauifested in
uiy behalf at the different meetings we
had during our cunpaign, commencing
at Dnnburton July 17th and ending at
Bluckville August 2nd, 1881. Hut io
my utter surprise I find that feeling ex
pressed is but a vain delusion which
comes only from the lips. Now my rea
son for writing y-u tl.is letter, fellow-
citizens, is this : I have been asked were
I not nominated Clerk of Court would 1
bolt, and 1 take this means of answering,
which, I think, is due myself and the
public. Being born of Democratic pa
rents, schooled in a Democratic school,
fighting four years to maintain Demo
cratic principles and since tho late war
using every available means to establish
that party in power, whioh we consider
the only honest party in our broad laud,
yes a party of home rule, honest govern
ment and white supremacy, which I have
lived in the past, and expect to live in
tho future, if yon cull that bolting then
I am a bolter, a bolt only to cement the
great Democratic party more lightly to
gether, consulting with some of the lead
t5<f men of the State, giving and receiv
ing views, fon the campaign of ’70,
which campaign redeemed our beloved
Carolina, I consider the question absurd
and prepostcrom, yet I take pleasure in
answering it. To work as hard as wc
have to gain an object, and us soou us
the work is accomplished to endeavor to
Undo what wo worked so hard for, to say
the least of It, would be very bad judg
ment. But what is the use for a poor
matt and a cripple like myself to have
any aspiration above that of a common
laborer, and if unable as f ant to perform
labor that of bciug a pauper. Merc I
am, who served through the late war and
though an invalid at the time, 1 also
served tho Democratic party faithfully
■iocc in all of its trying ordeal or politi
cal revelation, not from policy but from
tions fkitofuUy and sat isfeetortly and the
Proftnu JddgewiUbo ascttcieulin his principle, not that I claim a reward for
tkirlmm u j:,.-T'. what I take to be a duty not only of my-

And when hefoe rule is tlie issue every

Washington, August 1C.—Postmas
ter Robinson, colored, of Bamberg, 8.
C., has sent to ftie^postoffice department
a statement, giving the reasons why he
recently closed his office and left town.
He soys on Sunday night, August 10, a
body of teu or twelve armed men went
to his home, about three and a half miles
a
frem Bamberg, and shot through hia
doors and windows^ Robinson began
actually glad of any txcuse to stop.
They like to go to mill and they like
to go to town, but they don’t like to
woik. I know a farmer who is a good
clever man and Behaves himself de
cently, but he loves to talk so well he
can’t work. He wilt talk about the
weather for half an hour without stop
ping. He came to my house the other
day to borrow a spade and said be was
in a powerful hurry to get back. With
out thinking of the consequences I just
asked him if the storm damaged hia
corn any, and that started bun. lie
told about stonns and hurricanes from
away back to his buyhdodj and Low u
man hung to a sapling and never got
nary bruise, but thy wind blew his
breath away aud didnt give hint time
to draw another, and so he died, for
want of breath, juat like a cow dies
when she loses her cud. Hecouideot
work bis bellows lu such a wind. And
ho told how another storm blew au old
cow head foremoot against a poplar
tree and stuck both her homo in It so
deep they couldent pull her out by the
tali, and had to saw her horns off and
two year-old And after long and pa
tient efforts, be exclaimed In mortal
agony: ‘Oh please. Rosa, do please
stop crying for the Lord’s sake.’ I
was sorry for him, I was, but I could
ent keep from laughing to save my
Ife, and I Wanted to exclaim: ’Stand
up to tho rack, my bby. fodder or no
fodder, for its your child.’ There are
inventions and inventions, but nurs
children and raising them bas to be
done in the same old way, and happy
are they who can go through It with
a philosophic smile. It is the great
business, of life and can’t be dodged,
and it b&s its comforts and its rewards
—rewards that are sweeter and purei
and richer than any, for they come to

Good children who honor aud love
their parents are treasures that gold

August is tho boat mouth to cut tbe
winter's wood. It will burn freer, aud
even tho red oak, that sometimes burns
black and goes out, will bum well if
cut down in August and seasoned a
while. I’ve got the boys cutting my
winter’s wood now and will haul it up
and stack it. Two of the fire places
want wood two und a half foot long
and tbe othets will only chamber two
foot sticks. S3 I bftve TheXwood cut
four feet and bve feet, aud then we

cords will run us through a winter.
Then there Is tbe stovo wood to get

dry and split up line and not too long.
I saw up hickory; and ■ah with the
crcaa cut and after splitting it up put
it away under shelter, and I haul up
the chips from the woods to sprinkle
in. It is uot much trouble to prepare
a frugal meal if everything is handy.
The boys catch the chickens aud fix
them ail ready. I won’t let my women
folks do that. It is not a sightly job.
and flobody ought to have it to do but

The strong minded woman didn’t
subside nor wilt, but proceeded with
her philanthropy with more vigor than
offer, and her black eyes Hashed as
she expatiated upon her own unfor
tunate alliance with a preacher who
imposed upon her and had her put in
to tha luuaric asylum. Finally the
gallant colonel hinted that his time
was precious and said he would take
her pamphlet and refer it to his Iqwyer
aud if his lawyer said sign it he would
sign If. Then she turned her atten

Constitutional Amlndmknt.—The
last Legislature, on the 24th of De
cember, 1883, passed a j >iat resolu-
tlou to amend Article IX of the Con
stitution of South Carolina, relating
to finances atid taxation, which reads
as follows: That Article 9 of'the Oon-
stitutiou be amended by adding there
to the following tiectfon, to be knowu
aa Section 17:
‘STectlon 17. Any bonded debt here
after Incurred by any county, munici
pal corporatlou or political division
of this State shall never exceed eight
per centum of the assessed value of all
the taxable property therein.’
We have no doubt but this amend
ment to our Constitution will receive
the support of a large majority cf the
qualified voters of this county. It is
a protection to every tax-payer aud a
wise limitation against the voting ma
jorities of the counties of the State to
Impose on them unlimited bouded
debts. With such a constitution the
bonds of any county, issued for a good
fcurposo, will have a better market
value, and property holdenc will feel
more secure.
Before tbe war, at the eetate sale of
Samuel'Nugent of Laurens, a slave,
(now named Richard Hunter, a thrifty
colored man,) purchased hie freedom,
