Thursday, April 19, : : 1888,
AT the Augusta Exposition, to bc
held on the 17th of November, a prize
of $1,000 will be given for the best
county exhibit of products of agrioul
ture, horticulture and forestry and the
- products of domestic skill and indus
try. A prize of $500 will be given
for the second best exhibit of the same
nature. IIero would be a good chance
for Fah'flold to practically show to th(
world ' what she is and what she can
do. Won't the Board of Trade take
some steps to have a county exhibit at
the exposition? It will cost little and
may do a vast amount of good.
Extent the ltoad.
From a communication froln "Citi
zen" the advantages of extending the
Rockton Railroad to this place will bc
seen. We can add nothing to the
statements made by "Citizen." All
the advantages to the quarry company,
the town and the county will be abun
dantly verified should the scheme b(
carried out. We hope the citizel
will take this matter under considera.
tion and act promptly upon it. "Citi
zen" gives the advantages to be had
We agree with hhn and do not thinli
any one can disagree. If these thing(
are true let the citizens of Winnsbor<
take action in the matter and bring th(
road to Winnsboro. If it is brough
here it will in no dout>t form a link ii

Railroad. The Board of Trade could
very Well take this matter into con
sideration.
New Secietary or state.
On Tuesday the Governor appointe
Col. J. Q. Marshall Secretary of State
to fill the vacancy caused by the deatl
of Col. Lietner.
A special to TiH.: NEws AN) IIERAALL
states that the appointment was un.
sought by Col. Marshall, but that hi
record was good enough to warrant
tho Governor in making it. Col. Mar
shall is a young man and a practicing
attorney of Columbia. Ho is a mati
of marked executive ability. Whor
the Columbia Artillery Company waf
at its lowest ebb Col. Marshall wal
appointed Captain, and by his laboi
and ability ho brought it forward at
one of the best in the State. Who1
the Democracy of Richland was ver
loosely organized Col. Marshall wu
elected chairaman, and by his indefa
tigable zeal and industry he soon ha,
one of t,he strongest organizations I
the State. lIe wvas several years ag
app)oint -Colonel of the Palmetto lleg
moent.
We are aure the appointment wi
meet the approbation of the Doeme
cracy of' this county.
Congressman S. S. Cox has intr
duced a bill In the llouse to inicream
the salaries of p)ostal clerks In ti
emp~loyment of the Government. i
Position of postal clerik is one of tI
most responsible under the Gover:
muent, their wvorkc is by all 0(1(11
hardest and their pay is the leas
Their salaries now range anywhie
between $800 to 61,300 per annur
Every p)iece of mail matter placecd
the postoffices, excep)t in the oflices
large cities, passes through the
hands. Millions of' (dollars are ani n
ally devoted to their care, and it is
striking fact that out of one thousam
eases tried in thme Courts last year fI
offenses againmst tihe postal laws on
eight of these cases were against pc
tal clerks. This record speaks v<
uimes for their honesty and integrit
We are accustomed to walk tot
postofflce at our' leisure and get o
mail. But do we ever think of
vast amount of labor and vexathi
that is expenmded1 for our b)enefit?
In 1885, there wer~e 4,512 posl
clerks. They handled 4,964,(173,5
pieces of mail matter, which was c.
riod over 121,032 miles of road. T1
aunnual average run for each clerk n
40,107 miles or 110 mniles each (lay.
In view of tis vast amount of lal:
We think It but justico to p)ostal cei
to receive a larger compensation.
The Objections Urnanswered.
The Greenville Newe, speaking g
orally of those papers which are
posed to a primary, says that th~
theory can be maintained only oni
ground that the people are too Iga
rant or too vicious to be trusted wi
the selection of officers who lay ta:
and handle their money and exee
their laws.
Referring to the p)ositioni taken
THEi NEWS AND .IERlAJID In the mal
of nominating Solicitors, in p)artl
Jar, the News makes the somne ciha
against us, The News says:
(THE NEWS AND) IfriRALD) evidet
iloes not belieenh 1)001n10iam
trusted to choose an officer who will
do his duty to friend and foe alike. If
we believed as our Winnsboro con
temporary really appears to belovo,
we would come out squarely for a
king and a fixed arristocracy constitn
ting a House of Lords and Indopen
dent of popular fooling and will."
We do not propose to be the spokes
man of those papers in the State which
oppose the primary plan of selecting
candidates for State, Judicial and
Congressional oficers. But we can
say, that so far as we have yet soon
there 13 not a single journal opposing
the primary which has over said either
by words or inference that the people
were "too ignorant" or "too vicious"
to select candidates for office.
Speaking for ourselves, we challenge
the News to point us to one single
sentence appearing in this paper, which
by words or inference can be construed
as a reflection upon the general intelli
gence of the people. We believe the
people abundantly intelligent enough
to select their candidates, and we have
never urged the contrary as an argu
ment against the primary, neither
have we said, nor do we believe, that
a king and a fixed aristocracy consti
tuling a House of Lords independent
of the popular will-the proper thing.
We have brought objections against
the primary, and we stick to them,
which have nothing to do with the
intelligence or ignorance of the people.
These objections briefly are as follows:
That the majority or minority plans,
either of which is adopted, are objec.
tionable; that the standards for voting
are different in different counties
which would place certain counties at
a disadvantage in selection of candi
i dates; that elections would be too
frequent if the majority plan is adopt
t ed, and too unsatisfactory if the plu
rality plan prevails. These have been
the principal objections besides others
of minor consideration.
Can the News point out to us in any
I of these objections where we say the
people are too Ignorant to select their
candidates or where even by inference
we ought to come out squarely for a
king or a fixed aristocracy?
The objections noted above have not
yet been answered by the News.
Charges that we and other papers
consider the people "too ignorant" or
"too vicious" do not wipe them away.
Let tiie News "come out squarely" and
answer the objections.
