Cash- Shannon duel it adds nothing to what the (Hihlic already know. It would hire been better fbr him had he left hia repu tation in the hands of his friend, Mr. fileir. TFhatever other merits Captain De- Pea may possess, capacity for clear expoetuea of (acts is certainly not one on whirb he can pride himself. It la part of the penalty which mon in private stations maat pay, m act-king justifica tion through the press for violations of the public peace, that their weaknesses and foibles become anbjarts of legiti mate discussion, aad consequently Cap lain DePses must act take it miss that ’the press throughoet the State should ■peak plainly on matters appertaining to private aharaeier wfllulljr obtruded upon the ps^lie. la proliaity of oarrathm, in saren- thetieal eotoagUnMnt and ehneurity, in cooAulon ef ideas, in eoat.-adtrtory state- -meat, ia garrulous rnpetiUoa, so shject prostitution ef manly independence, we have aaldoea met a specimen of modem composition to asatch his remarkable letter of viodlaatioa.

Why ia tbis ? Simply bemuse our people from their excessive conservatism, not to say torpidity, and indifference, never move forward in public matters unleea under the .spur of necessity, ‘-Lot weH enough; ahate”, has become a State maxim. 1 The time has come, 1 ‘ M t 1 .

It is a mere faroe, I| is akin to our militia sywteAi before the war, when 'binbrollts, corn stalks find 1 " hickory sticks wore common, substitutes for the regnlaUun mdsk^t and'bayonet snd the drill itself was the subject of school boy merriment and ridicule. We should have our roads worked in sections and our bridges re paired,, not in the present periunctary manner, but by practical bonded con tractors supervised by the county com- atifistooerm sad paid by them out oft special road fund levied under the same guarantees as our present [ioll tax. We can see Mo eMnbtitutioMl diffictlty ia ex tending this tux, not only to property holders, male and feuutlc, but to ail males wbo are now requited to perform service by manual labor on tbe roads.

ArPLtrfoif, July 31—Politics down this way are comparatlvfeiy quiet, the success of the Democracy In making satlefactftry nominations being con fidently felt, and Urn election of tbe ticket put fortta by that body being, In the talaris of all, a certainty, t trust that the convection will be harmo nious, and that tbe nominees may be all men of sterling worth and worthy standard bearers of the great party. Without meaning to detract from the merits of any of the candidates for tbe ofDoe, I cannot doubt that It would be a presage of victory, If the conven tion would consent to unite In suffi cient numbers to nominate Col W. H. Hewlett, to tbo office of clerk of the court. Col, Hewlett Is highly qualified for the Intelligent discharge of the duties of the office, is a man of sober, Industrious habits, made a splendid soldier during the- trying period Jof our trying civil war, was coasoiess in bis vigilance and labors in tbe histor ic campaign of 1876, was always ready for and never flagged ia bij xvarfareyro the common enemy, and wlthai la a modest and retiring gentle- man. The writer knows that Oof. Hew- Je»*heM»ot electioneered, nor to any way pushed bis claims on the people, but has In very truth been urged by his many triends, who feel his wortb and would like to give him some manifestation of their esteem and con fluence, to consent for his imino to be put before the peopju of old l&trnweil.

Bamberg—There is considerable in terest manifested here in politics, bounty, State, and Federal. All un certainty as to candidates In the last two has been settled, and it 1s partic ularly desirable that those for tbe county should be also disposed of at once. There seems no doubt of the advantage of making all nominations at the August convention in Barnwell. This course would put an end to all Uncertainty as to the Democratic condidates; and a stop to the struggle fot the candidatures, and to lll,foel- Ing caused thereby, As far as I can learn. I think this tagenernlly the feel' log on this subject in this neighbor hood. Elko—“The majority of this club, so far as I can ascertain, favor nomi nation of auditor and treasurer by August convsntiob.” Grahams—"The Democrats here are mostly in favor of selecting an audi tor anu treasurer at.the August con- ventlou ; or rather that the convention recommend suitable persons for these appointments.” Wllllston—The general sentiment here 1b In favor of county convention nominating, by way of suggestion to Executive, the names of proposed county auditor aud treasurerv Midway MewXlaff.

He spoke at some length, dealing with his sub ject as though be were at home, and retired utsM tltc applause of the people. Gea. J. C.

Mr. Editor: The friends of F. H. Creecb, E-q., have presented bis name to tbe voters of Barnwell county as a suitable person to fill tbfl Office of Sheriff, and It is the object of this com- rminlcatlon to present the clalme of Mr. Creecb qpon the people of Barn well county for their euffriges In that election. TbO writer, himself a sol dier, addressee bltnsdff matnly to sol. dlera ofthe late war and feels assured tftejnfffH understand and appreciate the Justice of Mr. Creech's cialffle. At the same time he appeals to a fair and impartial public to judge of the merit* of bis case, and if there is no one is tbe field who has greater claims upon the people of Barnwell to remember Frank Creech when they elect their delegate* or cast their primaries for county officers. Mr. Creech ie at least tbe equal In point of education and ability to Dll the office of any man yet announced. A* a man of character he Is the peer of any man In tbe field or elsewhere, and for the very necee- snry qualification of firmness and res olution kls record beers hkn out. He ha* faithfully discharged the duties of the office of Oounty Commlaslorer— one of no profit and ut great aact iflo - of bis personal Interests.

Myeis, Jr., Is now be fore tbe public as a candidate for the popular branch of the General Assem bly, that there may be no misconstruc tion In future when the convention meets, it Is my desire, briefly ami dis tinctly, to state tho circumstances that influenced him before yielding his con sent to become a candidate for tbe Legislature. 1st. t was well known, as custom had affirmed tbe right that there should be one representative in the Legislature from the central or Court house section of the county. This has been the custom and the universal concession. 21. t was authentically known, that our present worthy representa tive from tbe central section of tbe county, had no desire and therefore would not consent, under any clrcum- slances, to be a candidate for re-elec- tioo. • 3d. tjwas well known and equally as well acknowledged, that the com petitors for the State Senate, repre sents no special section or locality, bnt such representation embraces the en tire oounty. The friends, os well as the opponents of tbe senatorial candi dates, together with tbe delegates compoeing the nominating convention therefore fully recognize the issues pending os between Senatorial and Hepresentative candidacy, and the support claimed for^the respective positions of honor. Consequently, the claims for the Senatorial support does not necessarily entitle tbs uaeoefeem- ful candidate for the Senate, to the support or nomination to the -popular branohofthelg ‘ conclusion wnul vehtion, and it woum oe out erecting It Into a mere political “chance meef- ley,” dot blog e*qb candidate with th* character of an ’ Oliver Optics,” ever watchful, anxiously awaiting for some thing advantagous to taro up; or when unsuccessful, remafrts supremely conteo ted, |he fs but to shse himself out of a defeat by graciously sccef - the next lower seat, which your scriber thinks tho paopls of BarowAT county art ia tail gent enough to ooit>' eetr* Facts.
