BALL, EDITOB, Rates for Advertising.?Ordinary Ad vertisement*, per square, one inser tion, $1.00; each subsequent Insertion, 60 cent*. Liberal reduction made for large Ad vertisements. W. W.BALL, Proprietor. LAUKENS, S. 0., Oct. 29. 1805. Tako the convontion as a whole tho body now assembled at Columbia to frame a Constitution is above the avcr ?* ; ago of front Ii Carolina political bodies in recent years. Nevertheless, thorc is a strong flavor of domagogism in the bodyy whloh detracts from its charac ter for decency, dignity and decorum. This was evidenced by tho interjection of the antiquated and threadbaro references to "upper" and flower" country m tho debate on now counties Thune issues wore sottled In 1808 satis factory to both sections. It is a matter of course, however, that narrowness and demagogism should to a limited extent enter into the composition of a body composed of ono hundred and sixty members. Hero and there thoro must be dense ignorance?that may bo carved with a knife. Honco wo find Intensely ignorant statosmon urging that the' constitution should so adjust the power of creating now counties as to preserve equilibrium between tho two anolent divisions?"upper" and ??lower" country In tho Stato.JNo parts of tho world divido on soctional lines In this ago; as a matter of fact thoy never have. To-day, in all parts of the civil ized globo, parties and' factions are formed upon idens, policies and theo ries of government Wo havo homo rulers and torlos in Ireland, liberals and conservatives in Britain and so on through tho cataloguo ol parties in every land, tho contention being upon principles which should dominate. It has been the caso In tho history of this State in all Issues where tho passions and the interest of the people havo "\ been greatly excited. It was so In the '?nullification poriod; It was tho caso in 1861 when secession, "por so" or with toe co-operation of ether States, was theT?sTIe'p1^Betft5d.~Tho war of seces sion was a war upon slavery and had not slavery existed; had not tho South addicted herself exclusively to agricul ture and a low tariff upon imports, tho war could not have been brought about. Perhaps there has been less method in the madness which has raged in South Carolina during the last four years than has characterised a political era here or elsewhere. With all the flurry and hurrah there has boen no revolution, not an idea evolved.'A college has been built at Clomson reared upon the bequost of a kranky old man who secured tho perpetuation of his name at the oxponso of the tax payers of the State. A college is re moved from Columbia to Rock Hill for women, and a kind Masschusetts gen tleman has his name embalmed for all time at a heavy charge to a people just now omerging from annihilation by his brethren. And we havo State grog shops and liquors drank upon the high ways instead of dispensed by private parties within doors. This is tho whole story. The State moves on in precisely the old governmental ruts. Thoro may bo an Idea that thoro was an idea in tho "movement," but we are just where wo were "at" excepting Winthrop, Clemson and tho dispensary. It was not tho "upper" country that did It, It was more unanimously tho old "par ish" counties, Oran^oburg, Colleton, Hampton, Clarendon and tho entire . Peedoe section: Sumter, Riehland and Newberry wore all tho while debata ble ground. No; no lesson can be drawn from the scctloual war of 1700 and tho compromises of 1807-8. Education Is fast advancing in tho South and South Carolina. Ideas will rule in tho near future. The day of the demagogue is fast passing away?and the pot house heeler must soon looso his vocation. In every State in Europe the issue, is a policy?and may God speed tho day when the same shall bo tho caso in our land. Bear in mind, that we are not quareling with Clemson, Winthrop, tho South Carolina College, tho Cita del and other schools maintained at tho expense of tho State. This State will not keop pace, and abreast of other States, in intellectual progress, indus trial growth, wealth and individual moral tyorth, except upon a high stand ard of educational development. #*# The President En Route to Atlanta. In great state, tho President passed Greonville on Tuesday last, accom panied bv his Cabinet and Cabinet la dies. Tho President rode in Mr. Pull man's private car, "Wildwood." Listen: Greenville S. C, was roachod at 12:20. The President shook hands with all who could got to him and he had a pleasant word for the children. The cabinet mombord also took part in the hand shaking for nowhoro in tho ^ I .*nd is tho great American* passion for shaking tho hand of dignitaries strong er than in tho Palmetto State?Atlanta ' Associate Press Dispatch. Umph! Here from time immenorial we havo been denounced as a stuck-up, supercilious, haughty aggregation and now at this lato day in tho midst of Senators Tillmanand Irby, Bob Hemp hill, and the Headlight tobotwittfcd with toadyism to great "Dignitaries!'' Shamo, shame But tho other day, Bob Hemphill was saying in tho convontion that ?76 arc Hyperion to a satyr as con trasted with the benighted Geor gians. In the Convention. The sluggers can't fight and aro hold down to soft glove.,, but there Is no law against sparring by tho agilo orators ?f our convontion. As witness: Mr. Bohre mado a speech in genoral opposition to the now counties. In tho course of his remarks, ho said in half of his county nothing could bo raisod but niggers and allgators. Wlgg, of Beaufort, asked: "Do you come from there?" "I do not" answered Behre, emphati cally amid much laughtor. The Township. Cel. G. D. Tilltnan offers tho New England Township system of Govern ment as a specific for governmental problems in this State and elaborately discussed it. He urges it specially as a homo rule, local self government scheme and eminently education ?1 in its practical operation. Tho novelty with which the majority of the states men seemed to regard the measure, were it not so severe a commentary, would bo exceedingly ridiculous. Tho French Government sent Tocquovillo and Bcaumount about 1823 to ttudy tho Amorlcan Penitentiary sy otom. Returning to France they published a groat work upon tho social and politi cal institutions in tho Unitod States. This work was translated into English by Francis Lieber, publicist, a profes sor in the South Carolina College foi years. Tocquovillo attributes tho suc cess of tho American system to tho township local government In New England, Its virtue consisting in its ca pacity toabfoi'b,educato,and assimilate tho Incongruous forolgn elcmonts us thoy poured into those States from mon archical countries. A few years ago Dr. Strong published "our country" a close copy of tho Toquovlllo idea, and expressing gravo apprehension that tho flow of uneducated foreign ers from eastern Europo could not be healthily absorbed and innoculated with true ideas of our institutions and therefore endangered our government. As delegatos don't seem to bo advised upon Tillman's sohemo tho convention might take another recess until, say, noxt autumn, and in tho moanwhilo read up onTocquoville and Strong, and maybe tako a glanco into tho Federalist and tho groat public documonts of-Jef ferson, Madison and Hamilton. Tho capstone, tho 14th and 16th Amend ments would be reachod In their order and thus by careful study nnd prepara tion tho fabric of the fathers might be successfully reformed. En tho mean while tho ADVERTISER thinks with Stanyarno Wilson that Mr. Tillman's schomo is impracticable. The trouble with us lies In tho fact that our foreign element camo in with us and the pro blem is how to cscupo assimilation. *** Tho convention met on the 10th Sep tember last and oxcopting an interval of ton days havo beon in continuous ses sion. They will need to hustlo to com plete their work by tho 20th of Novem ber. Tho $25,000 appropriation will not reach. Forty thousand will pro bably be required and it is lucky for tho taxpayers that the per diem was (lxod at $2. A Beautiful Wcddiug. Mr. W. C. Sharp and Miss Jennie Shirley were happily married be foro a large concourae of friends and relatives, by the Rev. M. Mc Gec, in the Baptist church, ou the evening of the 16th Inst. Tho Church was beautifully decorated by th6 friends of the contracting parties with evergreen and golden rod. Two large arches were erected at the end of each aisle, where two largo S's were stationed in full vlow, with an extension to tho al ter, where the wedding bell was suspended, which was a model of floral decoration. Miss Lola Har per was at the organ, and as she played Mendelsohns wedding march the bridal party entered in the following order: Ushers?It. C. Mattison and C. J. Brock, of An derson, W. A. Erwin and S. O. Shirley, of Honea Path. The bridesmaids and groomsmen then entered in tho following order: J. W. Brock, of Honen Path, and Miss Addle Guy, of Pelzer, J. G. Sulli van, of Tumbling Shoals, and Miss Dtisy Rice, of Belton, L. P. Brock, of Anderson, und Miss Mary Erwin, of Krwin's, L. (\ Branyon, of Ztr linc, and Miss Fannie Watkins, of Laurens, !)?*. j. a.

Sharp, of Princeton, and Miss Bes sie Shirley, of iionea Path. The bride came in with the maid of honor, Miss Lou McGee, and met the groom, who came in with his best man, Mr. J. G. Mattison, and the two took their places in front of the alter, where they bowed their heads and answered "I will," which sealed their fate. The ar rangements wero in many respects novel and were beautifully exec uted. The wedding was pronounced one of tho prettist seen in this place for quite awhile. After the ceremony tho party was driven to the residence of the bride's pa routs, where a grand reception was given. There was also a beautiful and glittering array of wedding presents. On the 17th n reception was tendered them at the home of tho groom's parents in Princeton, County. Tho bride is tho eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M, Shirley, and is well known in the county, having taught several schools at different places. Sho has many friends and admirers. The groom Is iho eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Sharp, of Laurens County. He has beon with Messrs. L. A, & T. H.
