The. Se Argsm. We copy the following from the "Greenville. aily News," and en, 4 dorse it, hoping that all the p~ere in this Congressional Disttict will do the same: The Salidi Argus~a is evidently in an infiamed condition of. mind because the Hon. George John-,I stone has captured.tie'Ooone el egation to the congressional - C0n vention from that district, and 4 all the political Indieaions are I that the. office holding days of the 4 Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken- are ata bered. - Of course if our friend at Green- s wood chooses to.work itself Into a j profuse perspiration-in this weath er it is all right, and its stat6- i ments in favor of its special favor- e ite may be accepted as honest #x. pressions of belief while they evoke I our wonder. We are willing to pass I in silence as an ebullition-of cam- I paign enthusiasm the declaration ( that Col. Aiken, who has been in < office ftr eight consecutive years, i "has always been a man of the I people and never a politician," and the allusion to the other can didates as "lattet- day political up starts" who in 1876 were hesita- t ting whether to retreat or remain x neutral, although we believe the ( acquaintances of a true and tried c and veteran Democrat like Col. R. ' R Bowen, for instance, would I have some difficulty in reorganiz- i ing him by that description. But i we feel eompelledto ask of our co- i temporary an explanation of this c language with which its impass- t toned editorial utterance on the i congressional contest closes; 1 "Aiken is the man and the on- e ly man yet announced whom we r can conscientiously support." T Does this mean that if anybody c besides Col. Aiken is nominated r by the Dempcratic party of the t District the Argus will be deterred i by its conscience from giviog the t candidate its suppott? In other t words, is the Argus so thorough- V ly convinced that Col. Aiken is the t only man in this. district worthy I to represent it in Congress that it t will bolt if any other man is nam- e ed by the Democrats? If that is e the position of the Argus does ite receive the approtdal of Col. Aiken? t Is he so thoroughly satisfied of I his own pre-eminent fitness that he will oppose any other man whom the majority of the party in hisia district prefer to hing, 1 We hope all these questions rill < be answered in the negative, and i that the words of the Argus quot- c ed above, are intended to apply only to the period before the choice of the convention is made. How- t ever that may be, we venture a E small piece of advice to our es teenhed cotemporary for its fuiture guidance. Let iits language be t somewhat better measured in fu- t ture political controversies. Let e ip defend its friends, as vigorously ~ as it likes'and criticise the actions i of those. it opposes as keenly as it a may' But such terms as "up- ( start," while meaningless and gen- I eral, are inqulting and recoil up- i on whoever uses them with dam a- i ging effect.

[t is hardly approlkjate for so roung a paper as the Argus to de iounce such men as these as "up itarts" in comparison with Col. D. Vyatt Aiken who, so'far as we inow, has never been remarkably luccesstul in anything except pol ties, and who in his eight years of service in Congress has not a .hieved anything so brilliant or nagnificent as to entitle him to ook down on any of his fellow itizens. CALLED FRoM HIs COFEIN.-Ma hias Hay, a young farmer living iear Gibbon's Glade, Preston ounty, W. Va., died on Sunday vening, after a short illness. [he remains were cofflined and >reparations made for the funeral, rhich was fixed for on the follow ng mornino. On Tuesday after ioon Miss .ane Miller, the fiancee if Hay, was admitted to the house o view her lover's body. Enter ng the room she threw herself on ker knees by the boly and began alling his name in tones of the most agonized entreaty. The in mates of the house heard the lady alling, and then they beard a ter ific shriek. Rushingtothe room hey found the corpse sitting up n the coffin industriously hugging he young ludy. It seemed as hough her voice had called him ack to life. He was removed from he coffin and placed in bed, but efore a physician could be sum aoned he di eeand this time in aruest. Y 4terday afternoon the offin was e~' osed, and six feet of arth covers it there is no doubt hat the second .death is a genu no one.
