ghe fjashl 5 netgr J. R. IIAGOOD, EiTon. ABOUT CONGRESSMEN IN TWO OF OUR DISTRICTS. It will soon be time to make nominations for Congress. Col onel Evins of Spartanburg has de (lined running on account of the delicacy of his health. In the dis trict which he repreiented since 1876, there are now four or five candidates who desire to be his successor. Union and Columbia each want to be represented, and eccordingly Cols.McKissick,Mun ro and Yeomans have all been spo k.en of. Col. Evins has made a very acceptable inember to Congress, And the change to another man may pro-ve only an experiment for the better. Strictly speaking we have no absolute right. to dictate in the matter, but we would like to see Col. W. H. Perry of G reen sille promoted to tiis high position of honor, and who is so well qual ified to fill it. Two years ago he lacked only t little of receiving the nomination. le in all probability would be as good a representative as his people could send to Con gress, and no doubt would (o great cr'edit to h imlselfl dconstituene5. A deep :an(d thoughtful man, an(d one alive to the interests ot our cOuitry. Regadingt his district, of, which ('ol. Aiken has for eight years been t le represelt-ative, and who1 has fa ithfullY served his people receiV ing time after time the support of t le conventions, we would adiro cate a change, and we take great pleasure in bringing before the public, the name of Col. R. E. Bwnis a mani whose iflueiince for' good has beenI widely felt. His g reat ly enter'pri sing and( energetic chlaracter, should becspeak for him he full confidence of our peole. His qualificamtionis for a fine repre senttativye in Congress are uinq ues tionable, and he should receive the hkeartiest sup~por't of our people. Pickens has not yet beedn repre sented1 either on our State or Coni grressional tickets. The time has come when we ought to have some showing in these matters, andl we shal advocate the nomination of Col. Bowenm for Congress. Abbeville has been represented suffIciently long to concede to a change. Without disparaging the merit of other new candidates, we would like to see Col. Bowen nom inated without the least trouble. lUe is a whole-souled and kind hearted man, and would work hard in the interest of' the entire dis t. Let the people in our county I take up Col. Bowen and carry him forward and do our part in placing him in the position, which. he so truly deserves. IB00GAN CASh. It Seems that the shooting of Boggan Cash,which resulted in his death, was absolutely necessary for his capture on Thursday morn ing of last week. Tle posse which went in pur suit of him, either had to retire from the scene of danger without capturing him, or they had to use fire arms for their own. protectiflon I and his in mediate vaptu re. Now which was right., or is there any , question albout it? Al most every one will concede I hat the posse acted in a lawful and ( just manner, and that Floggan Cash Was the calse of his owi in stanitaneous death. 'he man thati had ridden rough shod over a com munity. met with a hard( dath rather than subject hiims' elf to the immediate course of the law. Ift he had comne at once 1and gi ven up he lligTht, have cxpected more sym pathy froimi the people at 1arge, I and Would have had the justice of a. trial, but. rather than act I hus it t seems that lie waited the people of the State to SUCu ilcu to his own personal desireR in the matter, and to matke him an exception to the general1 r1 of1c treating offenders of the pe . 1' t Those who at te') pt to run rouigh shod over at communlity7 will yetI find out., that Such cannot hist. in South Carolina. Tihere will he foiid bit flew Spofford's in our StaLte, an(d where such exists, t there are men who, true to their couutry, will go forward in the ma intienaice of good goverinment, 1and i the Suppression of billies Who want to have their own w:.y in everything.
