While the proceed logs of the Demo* cratio Executive Committee of the city of Charleston are of a.purely local type and local interest, they ore nevertheless suggestive of a reason why the Demo cratic party of Barnwell, on the eve of n Presidential campaign, should lose no time in roorganiting for tlio struggle; not that there is any lack of unanimity or sign of disintegration, but the party needs a series of regulations for the gov ernment of clubs in their external rda- tiotis with the party and the Conventions winch'represent It. As matters at present stand there is a very considerable mis tiness ic the mind of the avci age Demo crat as to the principle which sets in motion the internal machinery of his party ; and he has on indefinite percep« tion that party loyalty could lie much more effectively utiliied if its applica tion to a spccifio end wore conducted on more thoroughly recognized and appre- cinted plans. It is useless to instruct the intelli gent Democrat that enrolled member* ship in a political body involves the per formance of certain duties, both on the part of the individual and the bodies by which Jibe party works, unless those du ties are te.-y clearly defined and poiuted out; and tlu' I’ght to. define the nature of such duties inheres iu a convention of the people rt,'one, and any effort to impose duties or m'suitie powers not des ignated by such con vcirtion is a usurpa tion that sliould fco met by ptornpt. re buke.

The Probate Judge’s office was thoroughly examined, and we express our gratification at the nice and heat manner in which the books and records of thU office are kept. - Wo are pained to say that tbjs nice state of affairs does not exist In the office of tho County Commissioners, one of the most responsible and im portant dfflees in the County. The books and papers in this c flioe have been badly kept, and it Indeed would be a matter of some time and a great deal of labor to straighten things here. While It Is far from this Grand Jury to report Or suspect any criminality on the part of the Commissioners, the fact remains that much valuable in formation and many important statis tics In regard to County finances, which should be collected In thla-offlce, are a matter of guesswork and can only bo obtained by means of stubs from check-book, etc. Tho Board though reports that they have prompt ly paid all bills contracted and passed by them for the fiscal year 1877 and 78, and that they granted, during the years 1878 and 79, ten licenses to retail spirituous liquors, yielding a reyenue to the County of 8500.

If tho Democratic party is to gain a third and final aucress in 1880 it will bo by harmonious actiou, solidity, a recog nition of the binding power of mutual interest. If it fails, it will be through the insidious operation of selfish combi nations, personal ambitions and inani tion. We must present a solid front to the enemy if our rear is slighily disor. dered—and the merest prudence would dictate a careful concealment of what, ever discontents may be gnawing jvithin/' The signs of the times aro pregnant with auguries. Let us see to it that we kocp our line well dressed and steady There Is nothing like discipline. the Past Indebtedness still due by this County amounts to $7,246, and as this amount has been scrutinized by a com mission appointed by the Governor and passed for payment, wo wonld -urge upon the Legislature to levy an extra tax of two mills which would yh'ld about that amount, and that the h ur len be lifted from the County. Tb e original contract made by the Coi«i“ i88,oner8 for the building of the Cou,'t ilouse and Jail was for $14899.

We would call the attention of the County Commissioners t^ ths stream of tho little baltkehatcbic, below Mil hous’ mill, which, In rainy seasons, Is altogether impassable, tpough it is on a much traveled thoroughfare. Also to the fact that persons owning prop erty adjoining public roadsTandotlTSS destroy the fine shade trees, robbing the traveler of much grateful shade, and violating the law regarding publle highways. Also, that the Commissioners cause sign boards to be placed at tho fork of each public rokd, designating the most important points to which they lead. . Wo would recommend that S. Lleb- man, J. A. Weathersbec,, W. A. Gjiles and G. A. Hagood, thembera ef tho Grand Jury, and 8. O. Williams, acting constable, be paid mileage and per diem for services-performed while act ing for the Grand Jury.

There Is work of some sort in the world far every man who really wants to work. If you cannot do one thing, do another, and whatsoever you do, do your best; patient, faithful labor is sure of lu reward In the end. Or If you can actually find nothing to do, set yourself earnestly to acquire some art or profession which may yield you a living. The stories of the beginnings of men of whom the world has beard, ore many of them records of perse verance In the face of difficulties.— Franklin’s penny roll, Abraham Lin coln’s raii-splittlog, Andy Johnson’s tailoring—all these are historic. Stone wall Jackson walked over mountain and through forest to Washington to ask Ida cadetship, and to West Point when be got it, because he had not money to pay his fare. Any employ ®ent, however distasteful or humble, hlblt Is better than nothing for the man who has bis way to make in the world. If be baa pluck and energy he will make ef such a stepping stone to something higher. Is no There Is no greater mistake In the search for work than that which leads young meu to turn their backs on the 'ftome farm and crowd te the cities without even the promise of ^steady employment while there, while at home their father must hire help on the farm. Fat mtng one’s self, on one’s own land, is the only employment cer tain always to yield a living. And the secret of success In farming bas been shown to tie In high cultivation.
