In Greenville County Mr, Walker, whom the Deraooratlo Executive Com ? mittee declared defeated in the pri mary, ran iu the general election for Supervisor against Mr. Speegle who was the nominee on the regular Demo cratic ticket. We are glad that Greenville coun'y had a "bolt." We know nothing of the merits of the controv? rsy. Mr. Walker may havo had no justification. We do not know. Nor care. If Mr. Walker was ablo to calm'y review tbe whole mat'or and houertlv ' make up his mind" ?hat he was swin tied out of the nomination; If the fraud was plain and flagrant, theu, in toi- vow, his pl< dge ceased tob) binding on his conscience. Fraud vitiates a contract. We aro glad of the bolt because we think it just as well that p.opln understand that a slavi-h cbedlenco to tho party maoblne is not wise and not conduo've to party health. The icsult, of this bolt will be that in Greenv.ll? ouunty the primaries will Leroaftrr bo conducted with greater care Many newspapers hnve been fond of quoting, when it suited their purposes, an expression of General Hamptcn that "An Independent Is worse than a Radical." Whrn the language was vsed, somo 26 years ago In the cam paign of 1878 It was true. The Demo crat* had won the hard fight of '76 but the negro party was still menacing and in the face of tho danger of a return to misrule, it was imperative that white men be united, rega dies? of any ln * dividual sacrifices involved. No auch necessity exists now. The white voters are in the proportion of over 10 to 1 to the blecks In this State. In Greenvl?o they aro nearer 50 or a 100 to 1. It is nb urd to apply General Hampton's words to theso times and they rareL are applied with a'nc-rlty. Of ccurae the "bolt," like all heroic remcdi-p, is dangerous. A few repeti tions of it and the result is par'y de molition. It happens upon occasion that to support the party organiz viion involves a greater violation of one's sense of right than to r.u-o tho Hag of rebellion. Upon those oc aeions let It be raised. If the \ arty machine Is p-?r miot d to be supreme, soor.er or la'er it will become corrupt. This Is written be'ori the in sift of the race In Greenville is known. It L possible that Mr. Wa kor is mistaken in his notions of tho treatment he re caiveel from the Greonvillu Committee. It is possible that th.? facts did not war rant him in bolting and that ho knew it. That Is wirb bin own conscience. But, If ho was sincere in his belief Hint he was tlefraudeu, he has commlt'.cd no offence against public or pirty morn'-. The people of Greenville among wh'm he livch are the jurors who de.erm'nf whether or i ot iho facts werf s cb as to justify a clearheaded ar.el reaconab.e , man in tho lino of conduct which le cdopted. # Cnpt. Hitch's Ca^e. Without attempting to maintain that Capt. Hitch of Savannah behaved as a soldier should havo behaved at State?j boro, wo believe that he has been tho Object of a great deal of foolish critic Liu. The simple truth is that militia men are net soldiers. Some of them maybe. Many of them are not. This is not saying that militiamen are n- t b-ave. It Is merely saying that they ire not trained soldiers. Yo.tr trainetl professional Foldler is a maohme u*?ed to kill. When directed i<> kilt, it kills and cares not what or who. Half n company of regulars at Htatesboro would have stopped the lynching of the nogroe?. They m'ght have killed a score of men but they probably would have killed none. The mob would have knovn ihst tho "regu lars" would shoot.. Tbe mob* felt that the militia probthly would not sboot and, hence, tested it. The mob was right in its guess. The militiaman does not In'end to kill his neighbors and friends. His mental attitude is wholly different from the soldier's. Bloodshed is a se rious thing to him. The militiaman it> ejuito as brave as the regular but he is not In tho same bu?inets as the regu lar. Ten years ago many South Caro lina militiamen disobeyed orders. Oth ers refused to go to Darlington save with the understanding that thay would in no case fire en the D rllngton people. We upheld them. But this was not soldier- like on the part of the South Oarolino militia. Nobody raid it was. The difference between Capt. Hitch and other milltlamon isthat Hitch was trioJ by a test which o'.herj would have failed to pass just as he failed. We do not say that all would have filled. But most would have failed. It will be answered that a man should not becomo a militiaman unless ho Is ready to behave as a soldier. This may be true. Wo aredls ussing tho militia an it Is, not as It ought to be. Meanwhilo the militia as comptnics pre valuable. Thoy will fight when they want to light and they would want to fight In stimo cases that we can im-1 agino. Not until tho militia becomes a standing army ctn it be r<t)iod upon to shoot tho people of its own blood even if thoso people deserve killing to prevent a crime. We believe that Captain Hitch has plenty of courage, as much as ihe aver age man. Tim average man in this country has plenty. The difference between the c t'z-m and tho cltiz n soldier is small. The differenco between tho cltiz n and tho soldier is great. ? Col, James T.

Francis Byrd rode beside tho win dow, for he was to Join Lord Dnninoro at Winchester, whither the governor, in a burly lit of rage at his recalcitrant burgesses, had betaken himself to await the gathering of troops from the northern counties for the expedition ngnlnst the restless Shnwanec Indians on the Scloto river. They had met but few travelers of quality so far to the westward?for the most part wandering petty chapmen or perhaps a Palatinate trader coming from Pennsylvania. These latter drevo teams of six or eight horses wearing jingling bells, and their huge Conesto ga wugous wero loaded with plow Irons nod with salt, lead and gunpowder for tho lower settlers. At the notched summit Byrd rose In his stb-rups. ?The Ubounando, Anne!" ho cried. Below, where the unbroke sunshine spun Us web, lay a gold valley clasped la bills. The near mountain wulls stood all matted with burnished leaves Of wild ivy and bloom of chamce daphne, Its white cup shapes stained With purplish rod. In the wooded bot I torn the river shivered with the tum | bllng foam of steep torrents and went slipping soaplly over lcdgeB and be tween wild acres of mottled sycamore, of drooped willow and of birch. The sun as they rode became dull saffron gold between the overlapped wedges of crimsoning hills. "Poor dearl" sighed Anne as an extra heavy Jolt brought lamentation from her nerve racked compauiou. "We shall soon bo there, Aunt Mildred. Win chester Is Just beyoud the next forest." "It's been JUBt beyoud the next for est for three hours!" moaned the lady. "The colonel really must have new 1 springs put to the chaise. Thlo road Id barbarous!" "There is Winchester!" Anne ex claimed Joyfully. "I see the flag on the fort." This, a great square fortification With four bastions, the stockade built by Colonel Washington before the reduc tion of Duquosno, was gone much to ruin. It sat on the town's edge, with t generous barracks rearing above tho ! walls and soldiery grouped before Uu; I entrauee. Here Byrd left them to' re I port his arrival, and the two ladies j roC.p to the town ordinary. I They descended to Und the" long par I lor thickly set with guests und passed ! quickly through tho hall to the inn yard, watting disposition of their lug gage. , X "The phlCO Is overfull, It sceiUS," Mrs. Tlllotson said to tho landlord. "0< ll !" he answered. "There are n-plenty of beds, though nlgb all my tankards are kept well in use. 'Tis the soldiery at tho fort draws them, a good thing for the King's Anns. Tho In itial:; may j;o u-scalplng as oft as they will." "Tiny are all king's men within?" I ask- d Anne. "Aye. a proof of my loyalty. These be times," ho added, scratching his I griZ7.1e head as ke went in, "when 'tis hard to choose betwixt old and new things, with the Whigs so hot. As for ine, though, mcthinks the old will ouV last my tline." "Aunt Mildred." called Anne delight edly, "look! There is my Lord Falr> fax's chariot!" It stood under the wide shed, huge and ungainly. Anne went to It and patted the dark leather and laid her young cheek against the purple cush ions. "lie is here, llien!" she cried. "I wonder If we could see hlin." Drawing Mrs. Tillotson after her, she passed to the wide low window and peered with in. It was flung half open, and through It came glassy tinkles and a babble of talk. Colonial costumes wore fiown through the long room, und here and there were royal uniforms flagrantly crlui ?Ron. Cocked hats and greatcoats lay about on the chairs, and riding whips Were scattered on the tallies. Opposite thoni. against the farther wall, Burnnby Itolph of Wcstbain sat squat In his oak chair where the can dles glinted on his goltl luce, stirring With hi-; dress sword a punch of ,Iu mnlca ruin in a great bowl. Beside him, his arm (lung carelessly back, lounged Cnpttilli Foy. Now the spirit was In his mottled, sensual face, and It seemed to cloak a devil in scarlet. The girl shrank back Instinctively and held her aunt's arm more closely. Then she turned her eyes over the up eembly. ".Mistress Anne!" exclaimed a voice behind her. "Oh," she cried, turning, "Mr. Hen ry! HOW good it Is to see you!" lie took |?.,. hand and bowed to Mrs. Tlllotson. "It seems as If we bad not soon you for a year," Anne continued, looking UO, Into his sallow face and then, with a hint of approval, at his dark wig and suit of minister's gray. He snw her glance and smiled a little quizzically. "1 am being fast spoiled," be said. "I have a plenty of coats good enough for mo, yet once I go to the con gress I must get a new one to please the eyo of other folk, t< am on my way back from Philadelphia now." "Are you lodged at the King's Arms?" asked the elder lady. "At the Three Hams. Motlllnkfl the royal tang lierealwut Is a bit strong for me. I have a scent for It like a beagle for a porcupine." "Lord Fairfax Is bore," said Anne, "but he has not yet seen us. Wo shall surprise him." She clapped her bands together softly. "I wonder bow be will look. We were playing eavesdropper Just now. Aunt Mildred and I, only to steal a view of him. Is it very dread ful V Come with us mid look." "I shall leave her to you, Mr. Henry," said Mrs. Tillotson. "The chests uro In, so lie not long. Anne. I shall wait in our chamber." As they crossed to the window A line Stopped and looked at him question' Ingly. "What of the i-ongress?" she asked. Her voice was sharp and enger. lie shook his bond a little sadiy, his brows together over bis deep sunk pycs. " 'Tis not the time yot. Tbc ausombly Is too young. They font' to tnko ti stop i? tho ilurk. n is the blind louding tho blind," ho said n little btt tei'ly. "Thoro is no open oyo. Stay thovo Is ono. lie offered them n thou sand ineu-at-urius." "Colonel Washington!" sho Bqld un dor her breath. "Aye, Colonel Washington, tho best soldier In A morion today. 'Tho only ono who s"cs.

"Oh," he ?????>'?? with sudden passion, his eyes buruinj liko coals, "of such stuff Is our congress made! A multi tude of COUUSOloi'S nnd no leader. The sacrifice laid walling, but no lire!" Anne came closer to him, her line luce Hashing. "But this Is not tho lust time," she said. "The congress will meet again. When it does Vll'glulu should lead them. The colonies must look to us If it comes to worst. Von say we have the best soldier. So shall wo have the best rogimcuts. Virginia alone of all the rest was settled by a single people 'Tis bold by gentlemen, and gentlemen light bed!" She put out her hand nnd hrld it on his arm. "You can be the leader," she BUid. "Von can be the Are!" Thereafter neither spoke for a mo ment. From the stables n horse whin nied softly, and :\ gust of laughter and the sound of a falling ale pot on mo fron? tho crowded parlor. Then they moved forward and stood by tho open window. "I see Lord Fairfax," whispered Aitue, "th to by the door." Tin** o!d nobleman whom her smiling eyes sought out sat quietly apart, his j K'.vord across 1:1s knees, with his body servant standing behind him. His near sighted glances, sent squinting, search ??d tho assembly with n lurking dis trust; They were king's men truly, hut uol gentle like those of his own lime. Ho turned his face toward Foy as ihe latter, poundln,*y the table with his sword, suddenly .-poke up loudly: "I mi!

"Xo; lot pa hear It." ho answered. "Think y at 1 am not uapd to such as (hat?" II!h voice (railed a slender line of infinite acorn, "Look!" For more than one of those (here had got up nnd were going out at this. Even among those who sided with the king there were many who had spoken open disapproval of the stamp net days and loved Henry for that If for naught else. Foy saw It. "Aye, let them go?ret thorn go," be sneered. '"Tis time folk know where loyalty lay, as they know with you and me, my lord." A slow contempt went over that rugged old face. The baron hud sninll love for tili? coupling. He despised the blackguard confidant of Governor Dun more too heartily to bandy tnlk with blm. Foy tilled bis glass. "'Tie snld In Philadelphia," he resumed, "thnt one of our Virginians got on his hind lega and told them he wished to God he could light it out single handed with George. What think you of that, RolpbV" Lord Fairfax bad deliberately turn ed bis back upon Foy, but lie shifted in Ms sent now at the answer of ono of the quality. Burnnby Itolph, Foy's companion of iho gold lace, already heavy with the "1 teach U to yon?you doo of tho ken nel I" (much nnd rocking tipsily in his chair, lftod his head nnd laughed drunkonly. "Sooth," ho hiccoughed. "The snmo ono offored to enlist, a thousand men at his own expense nnd march them to re lievo Boston." Anne/s faco went colorless, and. her fingers clasped nonry's arm with a forco that mndo him wince. "Gruell Cruel!" sho said, for the old baron broke in, stammering with choler, '.The'Infernal rebel!" bo cried, trom bling. "Is it gone so far then? Do they flout their king to Ida face!"
