Those subscribers who arc anxious as
to the identity of “Kid Glove." must
guess again—they are a good many
miles wrong-
A charming young lady* fished os, on
Thursday, if Major Izlar, the handsouie«
!y mounted and uoiformedt commander
of the Blackville processkm, was ‘‘the
coming man,” We repl ed that he wp.s
married, and she—sighed.
In response to several inquiries we
answer that we always have a corner for
cafpet-bagtferp, meu *ho were Btutu
log the State aod telling the oolored
man not to trust us, that we were only
setting trap* 1 to get them back in(o
slavSfy, aruf all such stuffi when these
same fellows would deliberately organ-
■fee under our very nose insurrections
and riots such as took place at Ellen-
ton, all for tha -purpose of nfnbltterlcg
the oolored man against Us. Does It
not look like we could this fall show to
the North that wd have by giving the
colored people an honest and impartial
governfiieDt so won' them oyer to the
Democratic party that the most igno
rant negro In South Carolina would feel
htapaefr disgraced ever to suffer him*
seli to ao forget bis owq Interest and
that ot iris race as to ever think of
casting another Radical vAte. ’Now>
sir, here Is a field for labor aud let us
to the work. Let us tr^Tn conviqtiou
to bring out such men as’no negro can
refuse to vote for except that he simply
wants to Vote a Radical .ticket; then
let ua work to convince such, if thero
be any, of their error.. Some,men talk
as if it makes no difference' whether
t6e negro votes with us or not, we will
carry the election.4 This should fiotbe
the feeling of our party, we slipuH try
to so show to the colored man that in
the Democratic ranks are his,only
friends. This is not hard ts do. They
have been born on our so*, they ifnve,
lived upon our soil aud they will die
upon our soil' Convince them of this
fact and the day will be not far distant
When there will be no use for conven
tions nor primary Clectihns, but like of
old, n;en may be brought forward and
elected upon merit alone. This is
whet vfe are looking forward to, and
we can not be disappointed. Lots of
the work can be done this time, lots in
1880. Let uft devise some plan of op
eration and go to the task like Demo
crats of 187C.
Now, Mr. Editor, I expect you would
like to know about crops. Well," I
could tell you lots about the corn and
cotton ; but you may want more space
to continue Miss Miggs, ao I will be
brief. Corn looks well, cotton look's
better ; watermcllons aud peaches look
-best. If there was-another compari

Mr. Edttou : I once loved foxhunt
ing, and the consequence is when I see
a bound dog until this day my pulse
beats quicker. Tho other day while
going from this place to Wiljlston I
met a negro boy with a very lean look
ing puppy. When near him I noticed
it was of the hound pervasion by the
ears of the puppy, as they were about
all yomcould see. I asked the boy
what was the matter with the dug. His
answer was, “He got de mange, sir.”
He looked lilio he-had been washed in
concentrated lye. I asked hia name
and he said it was Hockter. Now, sir,
what I want to say to you is that the
DerAocrotlc party up hero seems to be
as dead as Hector. I do not know
whether Hector is dead or not, but
when I saw him be looked like he
would die, and so does the Demociratic
party up here—it looks like it will die.
We held a meeting this evening to elect
delegates to the convention soon to be
held at Barnwell, and it was » difficult!
matter to get enough together to make
a eeleption. N"W this ought not to bo'
so. Where is alhttae vuiliUHUsm that
we displayed in old Barnwell in 187G?
Has it died out ? If so what Is the
cause ? Is It because we have tried to
improve upon the old and successful^,
plan of selecting our candidates for the
Legielature aud other offices by Intro
ducing uew plans and systems ? or is
It because wo thiali, tho victory won
forever ? -If the last is what the party
think we have done they make a mis
take. There is more'work to-da/'for
us to do than there was in *76. Thecf

Tl»e Aaor’s Terrible Trip—VVlio
arc to Itlaure.
[News and
To-da-y wo publish the first ieUcr
received from Mr. Alfred B, Williams,
who, sailed from Charleston on the
'bark Azor, bound for Liberia, This
letter gives particulars of the strange
aud sad events briefly mentioned In
the telegram from Mn iera, and brings
before the public, with strong yet ten
der touches, the light and daik sides,
the mingled tragedy aud comedy, of
the Asor’s terrible voyage, Reading
this letter, so fresh and raev while so
thoughtful and discriminate^, we con
gratulate ourselves upon the success
which has so far attended tho boldest
adventure iu the history of Southern
journalism, success largely due to the
constancy, courage and abfdty of the
gentleman who, with pboncgraphic ac
curacy, reproduces every noteworthy
event In the novel experiences of the
African ommigrants from Charleston.
There was an errorTn tho tranemis-
wlon ef the Madeira telegram. Sailing
from Charleston on April 21, the Azor
put iu>t Sierra Leone ou May 28, and
reached Monrovia at midnight cm
Juue 2. The bark proved herself to
be a fast sailer, as we anticipated, but
the winds were baffling and, with the
loojr calms, protracted the voynge.
When the Azor was only two days
out, it was discovered ^that the' pro
visions were bad and unfit for use.
There was a superabundance of meal,
flour and rice and a good quantity of
pork and salt beef, but the flour w*8
coarse aud black, and the meal only
lit “for hogs to eat. *y There was
meat enough, but it waa not meat sup
plied by 1 the Sxodus Assbclatiou.
With the exception of five barrels, the
m^at belonged to "the stores of the
emigrants/’intended for their support
in Liberia until ttojr firstaSofr atomlrt
This is a bad beginning, as
It is mentioned by Mr. Williams that
the emigrant* are putirejy without
money. How they will livu in a strange
land, f epnllese as almost all of them
are aud helpless as are too many of
them, we shall hope to learn in ewbse
qurnt letters.
The emigrants proved to be docile
ignoramus, ai concletrd ah
stupid, Mr. William* says * that
the Rev. B. V. Porter, tho President ot
the Exodus Association, assured Col
lector Baldwin at Charleston that he
“knew” Curtis was qualified to set as
ship’s physician. This agrees with
our own Information on the subject!
Collector Baldwin was wilfully and
deliberately misled. In truth.
In the wprds of Mr. Williams, this
maa Curtis “knows about as much
about medicine as a street-car mute. 11
Mofe mfechtevous than a mule, Cur
tis administered medicine of thd na
ture .and probablo effects of which he
knew nothing. To a poor creature
who bhd the measles, Curtis adminis
tered la .the course one morning,
Coffee with an infusion of ginger, a
Dover’s powder. 6nd. ( Fria’i Balsam.”
She died the same day. Calomel and
jalap wefethe favorite prescriptions,
and it soon became uecessciry for Capt.
Holmes to prohibit any further-cxper-
ithenting by Dr. Curtis. The emi
grants hid been assured by tho asso
ciation that a physician from Wash
ington would accompany the Azor.
Upon this they relied. Not only was
there no physician, but there was no
such medical stores as good spirits
and wines, sago and arrowroot. When
stimulants were needed for the sick
the slender private stores ol Ctapt.
Holmes and Mr. Williams were resor
ted to. With a short allowance oj water,
with food of poor quality, and with
out a physl ilan, it is not strange that
the death roll should have been so
large. It stands thus :

I addition to these deaths, which
are carefully ih scribed, Mr^ Williams
reports^without date, thSr death of
Laura Clark, wife of Ale<;k Clark, of
Clarendon, aged 25 yearc, from the
ef:ect3 of confinement;; Hattie Bui,
child, from Burke couflty, Ga., of fever;
Shaw, daughter of William Shaw,
of Ceorgta ; also tho wife of William
Johnson. These four make the whole
number of deaths 23, as M the tele
gram from Madeira. There were two
births during the passage. Tor the
deaths that took place, aboard of the
A-»r 9 the Liberian Lxodus Associa-
on. are, In the main responsible.
Their deception, their bad faith/ their
miamansgement, their falsehoods and
evasions, led to the long delays in
Charleston, to the Impecunious con
dltion of the emigrants, and to the
sickness and death of more than a
score of the ignorant aud thoughtless
people-who hoped to find in Africa
more freedom and more ease than
they knew in the South, Theirs is
now the freedom of death, and the
ease of life eternal. ,
It cannot be doubted that Capt.
Holmes and his officers did all that
men of discretion and experience
might do to lessen the discomforts of
the passengers, and to save thenf in’
spite of themselves, from tho ravages
of disease. Such tack and energy and
fortitude as wfere eifiibfted by Capt.
Holmes, are worthy of all pralsq. And
those who know Mr. WtlUama will not
question that h« did’his part In cheer
ing those who flagged, in - encouraging
those who despaired, and In setting to*
each and every one the example of
equiulmity, patience aad uncsttata-
tious bravery.- Clement Irons, of
Charleston, was as self-eActliciogr aod
tuje as Currts was -ofesebievous and
foolish. He is tbo good a hyin - to
wYtste id Jlberlp.. Charleston be
succeeded wefi’hs a’txfedbauio, and be

dollars. *
