Owing to washo.uts below Columbia, on Friday, there veire no trains to and from Charleston Satturday. Consequiently there was no harleston mail that day. Eva. Eva Brit:on is well-known in New erry. She had eseatped our attention for some time. She now turns up on he stage as a singer in Cleveland, hio, we learn from the Leader. That: paper speaks of her beautiful black yes and calls her a rather pretty young girl, and says she handles her part so well that shte generally secures a recall. Eva is a "bird," a'jd don't you cease to remember it--a "Ifurri ane'' bird. Dying Rapidly. A paragraph in the Regi.ster yester ay announced that Dr. D. S. Pope ad gone to Pringle's phosphate works to investigate the matter of sick onviets. Since then we learn that be sick list is very large and that the onvicts are dying at a rapid rate, somne imes two in a day. The causes of the sickness or the large death rate have not yet beena ascertained .-Register, 2h inst.

The reference which was had at Peak Station some days ago before Colonel W. J.

Godfrev Dreher and his fol lowers 1n1837.when that divine wvas ex pelled from the Synod for heterodoxy, a full account of which was published in the Register a wveek ago, has beeni continued to a time and place to be ixed by the Referee.--Regiter, 12thimst. An Excursionl and Business Combina tIon. While many other of the great cities of America are great as ports, or im portnt as jumping off places 'whene one may get into the sea, to Europe, to Asia, to the Gulf. to the Lakes, or into the forest ; Louisville, Kentucky, is eminent in the fact that all roads seem to lead there, and that from there, the roads to every where go out. If a p)ersoni desires to go to any place, at home or abroad, in the year 1884i, he, she or it can not do better than to take a return excursion ticket, by way of that cool and healthy city on the Falls of the Ohio. Money will be saved by it and the business there or beyond ~will be done all the better, if the~ Southern Exposition coupon, usu ally attached, is made use of. It is the best ride and the best show for the money in the United States this year. Address of the State Committee.

The baby i- a very fa:umiliar s:tl j-et to handle. S. metimles the suljet, and the baby too, is handled rathei roughly. The baby is well-known all over the world iii general and at New berry in particular. We put this town agaiiist any place of its s'ze in the known world for pretty and nim:eroua baby. We all know who has the pret tiest baby. The baby is a privileged character; he. she or it rules the roost from Babylon to Mollolo::. Web-tet cuts baby short with a very sm:ill deti nition, and the geography fails in its boundary. hut the baby has a big space in history. He is bounded i.n the north by syrup of squ:lls, s;.iri s of turpetiie ii su-Zar and Mr=. W' - slow's -oathing syrup. on the -oluth by ine 1,alnnels, frilled pillows anil inextricably tangled clothes. o:i the east by parerori:-, oils a.ed thinn--st gruel, and on the west by tumbles, jerks andi falls. Au essay could be written about the baby, but we o:nly wanted to speak a wool in their be half. and can do no better than to quote what Joe Howard says. .Joe urites for the Piuila-lelphtia Press, as follows : Did you ever think what a baby has to put up with? The father ronples its clothes and pitehes it imp to the ceilin*e. The mother -imo:h rs it, hugs it and squeezes it until its lit tle face is as red as a berry, and the iurse-vell, the nurse, espe-ialy if she's fUand wheezy, sticks her fin gers in its mouth, rans her thum down its throat and 'tootsey-wootseys in its face, till the poor child must wish it was where it came from. A PractIcal and Common-Sense View. The Neu-s and Courier of the 11th inst. contained the following which will be interesting reading for our subscribers : Col. Thomas W. HIolloway, the sec retary of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, was in the city yesterday on private and official b,usi nezs. IIe thinks that the next State fair already promises to b: a grand success, and although lie is somewhat depres,ed by the present prospect of the cotton crop,in Newberry County, he is conlident that there is a great future for the farmers of South Caro lina. Col. Holloway is greatly inte rested in the success of the Mason Cot ton Iarvester, and is convinced that if it is such a success as it undoubtedly promises to be, it will put an end to cotton planting in this State on an ex tenisive scale. iIe believes that then cotton-picker wvill compel the farmers to diver-ify their crops and to pr'o du1ce their own food simplies at home. his idea being thamt the bulk of tIhe cotton crop will be growvn, afte r theL cotton-picker is perfectedl, in Texas andl the Mississippi Valley. Col. Ilolloway mentioned, amnong many other evidences of thme prosperity of h's section of cou::try, that meat Pomnazin. in Newberry County, thet farmners were paying consider'able attention to stock rnising, and that there are at presenit at least one hun dred mutle cults ini that neighborhood. Hie believes that the farmers of South: Carolina are able to raise their own stock, that mule-raising could be mnade a prolitable busines=, and that taking all things together better mules can be raised here than in Kentucky. Col. Holloway is trying to arrange fora grandt( panoramtie display of home. grown mul s at the next State Fair. Changes in Dancing. Trzipping the Hight fantastic in the merry mazes is a pleasant pastimne for miany of our readers, and these devo' tees at the Trerpsichorean shrine find any allusion to the dance entertaining. Soon the leaves will begini to fall and the rumbling of carriage wvheels will be heard on the freezing road in the quiet hours of the night on the way to the hall of the dance, whcee issue on the breezes the strains of music and perfume of extracts, fronm the brilliant beauty within. It will therefore be of interest to that class of readers men tioned to know that a mild raequet is to be revived and more life Pitt into the German, and that roller skates are to be used in some parts of the German. In waltzing the fashionable Newvport glide will be the favorite, the racquet has been shorn of its kick, the ripple will be. munch danced, and the Saratoga and minuet lancers will be poi,ular. The coquette and cauli' flower ligures will be added to the quadrilles, which will sometimes ter inate with the New Year and Tent pete figures. '[he Caledonian qutad' rille will be a favorite dance thtis sea son. La Varsoviana, with thte old mazourka waltz step, is to be revived. The schottische, with the addition o: the glide waltz, will be danced, and the polka galop will be among the fa vorites. Pleasant Recollections. .A married lady living in the town of -Newberry has every letter and note written by her -husband, frotm the beginning of their courtship, which was at the -beginning of the late war until it culminated in their ma.raiage, soon after the w'ar ended. The first illet-:doux was written at Camp Ruffin, April 1861. From that time until the close of the war, they cor responded frequently antd regutlarly. The letters are quite numerous, em bracing a period of nearly five years. T hey arc descriptive of many. great bloody battles, (in which Kershaw's Brigade was engaged), skirmishes, snow-ball fights, incidents of camp life, country, marches, winter quarters, wounded, sick, dying aitd killed-but invariably closing with a little "Iove and sweet affection." Many of the en. velops and note paper bear the im press of the Confederate Elag. During their entire "courtship" they nevel had a "love quarrel." That devotet love still runs smoothly and deeply They live happily. Wouldn't the ro mantic or even the realistic historiat like to get possession of that packet o: letters? Boys of our day-wouldn' you like to glance over that packet: Yes, we know you would-but yo: can't. They are sacred. Glenn's .Spring Water, ALWArY tMfrdif at 14h amteh eUo Newberry Female Academy.

It wa; called to order by County Ch.liruman Henry Kennedy, who counseled the assembled de-g.ates to show their best. wisdom in cotditi:lg the co:vent:on, and hoped that perfect peace would reign throughout the pro.ecdings. All the townships were fully represented . 104 delegates being present. S. H. Chappell was elected temporary chair man and W. T. Bird temporary secre tary. A committee on crelentialz, F. L. Hicks chairtatl, and one on rules and regulations. Jag. S. Daniel ehairmuat:, were appo:nted. While the committees were out we looked aroud upon the bo-ly, and discovered that a majority of the delegates were vung nen. We observed several very i: telligent faces, an:d that some of the delegates were engaged in reading newspapers. Conspicuous by their absence were the notable features of m:ny prominent old leaders, whose places in the counsels of the party are now occupied by the ri,ing generation of Republicans. Capt. R. W. B>one was the only white Republican pres etnt. Asit!e front several noisy dele g.ites from the rural clubs, who kept utp much confusion be th:-ir "onrea.ti ness" for every qu.-tiut (and einusitng the appointmetnt oif two mtarshals for the pres-rvation tof order) a:nd their failute to uderst:u.d the tmotionis as they were putt before thte house, it w as ain imnprovementt on previous con While awaitin~g the return of the cinomittees, several of the delegates were called oni f.'r speeches. A few exen<~ed the mselves on accountt of feel ing badly, some tnot hiavitng beea long out of a miek bed. Capt. Boone was among those called ont, but he was not itt the rot.m aut the titme. The speeches of thtose responding to the call were well-delivered and well-received, onte or twvo of the speakers showing consid erable oratorical power and good comn mnd of language. (All the dlelegates showed "unatnimously" that .they had not been remiss in the cultivation of luntg powver). rThe speakers were outt spoken in the inclinintion to make a light for the re-establishiment of Re publicantismn in Southt Carolinta. All allusions to Blaitie andl Logan and de 'nunciations of the Democratic party were luistily cheered. Our space p're vents a full report of thte speeches. We give a synop-is of the most inter esting portions of the remarks. C. W. WJHTIEE was the first speaker." Said he, I am prouid t.o call myself a Republican. I mean to stand tip for the rights of my r-ace. We tmutst make some kind of a fight. The day that you vote for Cleveland :.nd Hendricks you vote downt your privileges. Ini the Repub lican party is our only hope. There is no salvation for our race in the Demo cratic party. The domination of De nmocracy would entail a deplorable cotidition otn the colored race. ',Vhe eight long years that the Democrats have been In power ini this State have served for the colored race. only dis grace. We have been struggling and striving to rise, but when a young col ored man ties to rise in intelligence andt eminence he is.pashed down. He has no chance to rise to distinction under Democratic rule. The reasser tion and continuation of Republicanism means promotion, advancement and civilization for the colored race, with the blessings of constitutional liberty for all, regardless of race, color or pre vious condition of servitude. B. W. NANCE was.-next called on. He did not como to make a speech and therefore had not prepared himself. He would say, however, that he stuck. to the grand principles of the Republican party, and hoped the conventiotn would be -conducted with fairness and that in telligence would mark its actions. The third speaker-was 1TENRY KENNEDY. We have started out triumphantly ; but we cannot succeed unless, we atre tied together lIke leeches. We ought to stick as close as leeches. So many give our plans away. You cannot succeed by giving away~ your plans If all were true we coald suceed. But there are sg many Brutuses in our ranks. The white man is so cunning. He pats you (in the shoulder anid you give yourself away. We must wvake [p and get intelligence if we espect to make our race a credit to the couna try. A white man buys an old horse for $15 and sells it to you for $100. You can't expect to rise while this state of things exists. Save your mo ney and buy land. Have your own homes and cultivate your own farm.e, and educate your children. Raise your sons and daughters right. Edu cation and property are what yon want. Get edacation, and the proper ty will follow. This Is a good enough aannetrrina er.n. If thinge wet-e a trol the country, and as long as the eight box system remains in force and the colored man be ignorant and un educ:ated, so lon"g will he be kept down. So I say the only salvation for you under Denmocratic rule is e-lc., tion-and property. But as it now :ands the peor, igeeoralit color-. I mta i has no showing.

SmAs DAWKINS was the la!t speaker. Said lie thought the eight box law an intelligeit law. It only oppresses the ignorant an:l il literate.

Some called for more speeches, when one of the country delegates ato-e and sai'l that he thought they had hail enough speeches. "I tell you. Mr. Chairman, the less speakhig we have. the better will it be for the Republican party in Newberry County." la a few ianiteS afterwards the conmitteesens tered and suniitted thir reports. which were adopt:d. The cotnventio: then went in:o perm:tnent organiz.i ti.n by the election of S. II. Chappell its chairman, W. T. Bird secretary and Silas Dawkins asi-tant secre tary. The chairman thanked the convention for the honor it had conferred upon him and expressed the hope that it would show toward him that courtesy due his position.
