||? In another column will be found
I very sensible article under the abov
I (caption, copie?l fiom the Ji ewx an
I <,'ourter, and written by a gentlema
I from Chester. The writer evinces cor
I sjderable knowledge of political, ecom
I pny, And proves himself to be a dee
I thinker.
I His most sensible observations ai
I concerning the primary elections, i
I which he raises the question, if thei
I scope is not being too widely extendec
Wre believe this is true. Primary ele<
h tions do very well for counties,^?but
k is eyep a question with some if their da
of usefulness in this respect has nc
[ passed?but when you extend thetn s
as to inctude State and Congressiom
J. officers, the scheme does not seem at al
V practicable. To sift it down, it is th
f old story of "giving an ell and takin
| an inch." In all reason, we would lik
iy' io fcnow, what more voice, the peopl
a whole, would like to have in th
nomination of these officers ? The;
| elect the inen who goto the convention
it is their own fault, if they sen
IP&U)o#e wljo rip not truly represonttfthena
v\4|i not tlje hue and cry being now raise*
quite a reflection on those we have hith
erfco sent to represent us in the noraina
i?, ting convention ? Yet who will dar
'At charge these gentlemen,?we refer par
ticularly now to the delegates sent Iron
fV AbbeAi.lo county,?bei.ng influenced b;
rings and political tricksters. Several o
them come directly from the people, am
were unknown in the political circles o
the state having never held office or beei
present in a convention outside the lim
its of their ni/tivo county. Strange in
$ucnce the air of conventions outsid*
g; pf Abbeville must exert on delegates
P: ' 1 J? ! - xt
5: s mere one instance on recor<
where a man was nominated for olticc
fn direct opposition to the wish of tin
people ? Was the Hon. D. Wvatt Aikci
ft, man whom the people objected to
Was Solicitor Orr the marked man
! "^Vhich one of our State offiers is objcc
{i on able to the masses of our people
Jt cannot be the Governor, for the1
claim hip) pre-eminently as the choici
pf the people. Is it farmer Lipscomb
Why hp is the very man that the far
mers o]ajm, and they arc in a majority
!? in this State. Lieut. Governor Shep
j?ard rose by degrc.cH to his present do
sition and so did the Comptroller-Gen
-A pral. We have never heard any objection
to the State Treasurer, nor to the
Adjutant and Inspector-Generals. The
Y* Attorney-General, is the only man from
the low-country and surely they are entitled
to have one representative on the
State ticket ?
Who-then is the man the political agitators
are aining at ?
^Vho is it, that is raising this commoV
' Jion anyhow? Is it the people, or a
foyr sore-heads.who hope to ride into
t office, in a political upheaval ?
Haven't the people all the power they
want ? Haven't they i^ll the power
i; ^hey can use practicallj' ? What more
I do they want, or what more do they
lr' .^need ? We conf6s3 we foil to see.
THE GENERAL AS8EMALY.

fRev. J. H. Bryson, D. D. was elected
Moderator. I)r. Bryson is well known
in portions of this county having been

t- muueuv lor a number of years at
Erskine College. He is the brother of
the wife of Prof. I?. L. Patton, of the
University of South Carolina, and at
; tmo time was pastor of the Frst Presbyterian
church, of Columbia, S. C. We
hav* no doubt ho will roako an cxcellent
presiding officer. The moat mo- j
mentous question that will come up be- I
fore the Assembly will be that of Evolution.
It will not apply directly, how"ever,

Eer. Wallace W. Duncan, of SpartanM

Methodist Church South. We congratulate
Mr. Duncan on receiving the

JUDGE J. 8. COTHRAN.
The frionds of this gentleman are
urging him to become a candidate for
^ Congress. We know of no one who
~ would make a more desirable representative
for tho Third district and though
? >ve have no assurances from him, that
10 he desires or will take the position if
- tendered to him, we know that he is
patriotic enough 10 serve in any position
where the people will put liiin. They
? desire him to Ik* their Congressman, and
e we do not believe lie will refuse. Able,
<1 intelligent, just, and pure, a ready speak11
er and a logical debater, he is the very
l- man for the position and the people of
>- this District will honor themselves, by
p sending him to Congress.

ir Mr. T. T. Hill, the photographer is
I now in town and has fixed up a "shanty''
and is prepared to furnish the "counterfeit
presentment" to all applicants, in unit
limited numbers. What a time for the
y belles and beaux exchanging "pretties."
)t We know how it is ourself, having been
all along there.
A few days since Mr. John Hall, of
Laurens County, was here wanting to
II buy a house and lot. lie did not make
e a trade then, but no doubt will, and then
? will n.ove over.
? *T_.. T .
e iuanuii ijuiimer spent a tow* days
in our midst week before last, visiting
0 relatives and friends. She has been
0 making her home at Anderson, Courty
house, since the death of Sir. Latimer
s last October.
A Since my last we have had rain upon
rain, here a groat deal, and there a great
'* deal. Almost every bridge upon Rocky
^ Kiver, in this county, has been either
- swept awuy or damaged beyond repair.
That river was higher it has been since
1822. The damage to the corn and cote
ton crops is immense, but even this
dark cloud has a silver lining. The Fall
ii oats having been almost totally destroyY
ed, the farmers sowed largely this
P Spring. Those oats are now heading,
and our late rains which were so de
sti uctive in some respects will greatly
f increase the planters chances for pulling
n through.
. ' The rains were cold for the season.
Fires wore again enjoyable. There is
an old adage of which we were reminded
e "A fog in March, a frost in May." There
! was a fog on the 16th of March. The
] frost did not quite coiue to time. It was.
, quite cold the 17th and 18th. We had
' a fog the 29th of March. I will npt
L' risk my reputation as "weather prophet''
i by predicting a frost, of a corresponding
? date, this mouth.
? Work upon our railroad was suspended
last Monday, to gratify the wish of
9 the hands for a holiday. In speaking of
the railroad I am reminded of an arbiy
tration a few days since. A widow lady
e near this place felt that she had been
? damaged by the railroad wagon trains
passing over her crops. She, through
her agent appealed to Mr. Wudley, gen7
eral manager. He agreed to leave it to
thiee disinterested men to assess the
. damages. After thorough inspection,
and mature deliberation, the referees
awarded to her the niuuiticcnt sum of
fifty cents.

; disappointed last Sunday, information
, had lieen received that the Associated
Reformed Presbyterians who have built
a church at Mt. Carmel, were to have it
f dedicated on that day. by Dr. YV. Al.
Grier. Our people having a very high
, opinion of the Doctor's ability as a
preacher, made arrangements for an excursion
upon the railroad to that place on
that day, but at tho last moment word
was received that the dedication had
been postponed. Now this writer would
ask, are railroad excursions on Sunday
commendable, even though they be to
enable those taking passage, to hear the
expounding of the Word of God, by
celebrated Divines ? At the risk of being
considered fogyish, I answer no.
A committee has been appointed to
look after the Methodist grave vard
situated whore old Symrnn once stood,
nearly two miles from town. As we understand
it this committee will have the
general supervision of the grave yard
and will at onco have it cleaned off, and
enclosed with a neat and substantial
wall or fence. This is as it should be,
We cannot be too careful of the last
resting place of our loved ones.
No preaching in any of our churches
last Sunday. Rev. Mr. Auld of the
Methodist Church filled an appointment
at the Ridge Church. Rev. T. (J. Ligon of
the Presbyterian Church was away attending
I'resbytery. .There is preach- 1
ing in the Baptist Chureh only tAice a
month (2nd Sunday) therefore there wa* 1
no preaching in that church last Sunday.

Rain, rain, rain and rain again, water

found out that there is not

ehuild all the bridges which became

When a body travels he can tell a

nows all about it, but to watch the
ish and the boat at the same time was
oo much. Kither his mental or his
hvsical apparatus became unbalnced.
I don't know, he seems
ot to know, therefore who should know
-anyway be lost his balance and found
hat the river was really deeper than lie
iad expected, colder too, but not as wet
ierhaps And as the elements hate the
fork of man, the treacherous waves
ook awav his best hat, his pride. We
ope Mr. -Kinard did not dimage the

We heard more wise suggestions on
le streets about ,4how to build a bridge

lan we have heard all our life. Every
jdy turned out, it seems a first rate
ridge builder. Only one remark we
?aid is worth repeating : "Bridge
lilding is a trade, as is house lurlding,
n making &e, therefore only learned
idgo builders ought to be given the
>bs" We endorse the last sentence,
evertholess it looks to us us if any citin
is qualified to build a bridge and
n get a contract if he is the lowest
dder and able to give his bond, alough
he may not be able to state the
fi'ereiice between a bridge and a churn

The Protection of Inventors.
One of the most interesting charities
at has come to our notice for some
ne is the one organized, and soon to
! in full operation, by a number of
lies, representing most of our stales,
r the protection and promotion of inntors.
It is the purpose of this assoition
to cover this charily in all its
mpleteness by taking out the patents 1
d supplying the necessar}' drawings 1
d models freo of all charge, thus enling
the inventor to reap the benefit j
mi his genius that it deserves, and not f
owing the whole interest, no matter
w valuable the patent, to be absorbed
some shark for the sake of the few
liars necessary to secure it from the
eernment. 1 This is, indeed, a noble j
arity, and one that has too long been j
fleeted, and we are glad to see that a
s indorsed by the best names in our 1(
intry's history. If ever a class need- j
help^it is that of inventors, and so '
th(*V bllVO li?on
Slimy of the inventions to which we *
i most indebted for our comfort nnd
! advancement of civilization have been "
no benefit to the inventors. Some
/e died in misery, leaving their faini- a
i destitute, whose inventions to-day *
t rolling up millions for those who Cl
k advantage of a starving man or si
man, and got posession of their in- H
ition for the advance of a few dollars *
sessary to seenre the patent. Such p
enterprise shoul<\ surelv have the n
pit calls for. Miss Florida Cuning- r<
