The National Democratic Convention will probably be held in New York this year. Speaker Carlisle. on account of ill health, will not make his proposed visit to Georgia for the present. Seven shares of the capital stock of the Newberry Cotton Mills were sold at auc tion in Newberry on Monday and brought a little above par. We think there is little doubt that Cleveland will bE the nominee of the Democratic party for President and that he will be elected. A Civil Service examination of a; pli cants in the Classified Department Ser vice will be held in Columbia on Satur day of this week. Henry George, in a recent published intet view, endorses the administration of President Cleveland. and says he is in favor of his renomination, and opposed to any third party Presidential Candidate. Mr. A. B. Williams bas retired from the position of managing editor of the Charles ton Sun. and will return to Greenville and resume his old position as editor of the Greencille News. The News will be en larged and othetr*% ise improved. We do not agree with that opinion which says the world is growing worst. Crimes innumerable.'no doubt, there are, and of every description. The press is filled with their recital. The trouble is that there is an appetite for just such news and the press is trying to supply the demand. The crime is published and many good deeds go unnoticed. The fa cilities for distributing news are greater than ever before in the history of the world. We must believe the world is growing better. The millennium may be a long way off, however. We publish on our first page fulil)pro caedings of the recent meeting of the State Grange. This order, in connection with the farmers' organization, should be kept up. but we believe we have no active, live grange in Newberry County at present. Possibly the one at Mt. Tabor is still organized. The one at St. Luke's, we understand. cannot get a meeting any more. This should not br:. These orgai zations might be made profitable and interesting and instructive to the farmers if properly carried on. Read the pro ceedings of the meeting of the State Grange and revive your old one or organ ize a new one. The Xanuufacturer's Record, Baltimore, in a recent issue, publishes a long article on the subject of cotton manufacture in the South which shows wonderful pro gress and success in the manufacture of cotton goods in the South. In our next issue we will publish some extracts from this article. The South has the natural advantages and we see no reasor why the mills should not be brought to the cotton. and made more profitable than those away from the cotton. The South produces the cotton r,nd why not manufacture it. Judge W. H. Wallace. in his charge to the Grand Jur on Monday. said many good and wholesome things. Miscar 2age of justice, of which we hear so mue i. says, is not to be attributed to the num ber of challenges allowed the defendant, nor the modes of trial, nor yet to the ju ries, but the great trouble lies at another door. and that, as the learned jurist well said, is in the tendency to false swearing perjury. Too many puersons consider too little the sanctity and obligation of an oath when they take it. By this evil the stream of justice is corrupted at its very fountain. and to it may be attributed a majority o)f the miscarriages of our crimi nal trials. The juries are to make up ther verdicts from the testimony on the stand. False swearing is a fearful thing. Yet it is true that too many do not con sider. or if they consider at all. they~ do not comp'rehenid fully the sanctity of an o.i. What about that State primary? Are we to have it or not? Ubse'rr-r. We have no ob jection. In fact, we are rather of the opinion that it would be a very goos d idea to let the pecople have some sort of say in the selection of State of lieers and solicitors as well as in the se lection of coun+y1 orlicials. We have never been fully conviinced that the primary lanii was thle best way to selec~t otlieers, but the people seemi to want it that way for county oflicers, and it has worked very well with us, so if the people want it that .way for State otlieers. why let them have it. And if it is a good thing for the 'ounlty we see no reason why it should not be a good thing for the selection of State 'fieers,. or ( ongressmien, or Circuit Solicitors. Yes. let us have a State ( an va andl try it. That gives every man a showing to go before the pe'ople, andl it also giv.s th eol an oipporitnity to saVb thir vo t's whom)fl they prfrt "Who ra'S I he momen 't as. it tiies, he is o re; o.-" he mauh truth in whenA* everiLi l thin an evr' bodyl seemis to be i a hurry.

Drayton, the editor and proprietor of our esteemed contem porary, the Aiken feorder, died at his home in Aiken, on Tuesday, of pnenmo nia. Col. Drayton was a good editor and will be greatly missed from the fraternity. It was not our privilege to know him per sonally. yet we always read his paper with interest. A Stinging Communication. Atltau Constitution. Editor Murat Halstead has some very spicy correspondents contribut ing to his able Commercial Gazette One of these is Colonel Fred D. Mussey, who, in spite of his politics. tries to lie fair. He doesn't always succeed, but the struggie that he has with himself gives a flavor to his let ters that is not to be found else where. But the best of Editor Hal stead's correspondents is Judge Wi. M. Dickson, of Cincinnati, who is al together a voluntary correspondent. The judge writes as follows: -Your diction is copious; your im agery etflorescent. grotesque; your eloquence sublime; your affection for the negro touching, but you evade the question. I must bring you to it. Shall we continue a sectional agita tion until we compel the southern states to submit to the rule of the ig rorant field hands ? Would Cincin nati vote in the affirmative on this question? This you dodge. You say that Cincinnati -would vote by an overwhelming majority for the main tenance of the rights of men.' No doubt of that; but that is not my question. The constitution and the law of Ohio guarantee to the colored children of Oxford, O., admission to the public schools, but the white citi zens of that village nullify that con stitution, and deny the colored chil dren their school rights, and this not in Mississippi, but in the shadow of Paddy's Run, the town honered by your birth. Seventy-five of the lead ing citizens have banded together to boyco'.t these poor negro children not, mark you, to protect themselves against the vote, the rule of these negroes-but to deny to them the opportunity of education. And you are silent! The wrongs of the negro of Louisiana touch you but not these at your own door. And yet the peo ple of Oxford would vote to enforce negro rule in Louisiana. Now, in my opinion, it is cruel-it is inhuman to deny to the colored children the school. It is also illegal, unconsti tutional, in every way regretable, to deny to the southern negro his vote, and it is monstrous injustice to give to the whites there the advantage in representation of this negro vote. But of what value in either place to the n gro are my unavailing regrets? If race prejudice is cruel and inhu man, how can I help it? If civiliza tion would perish to allow the igno rant field hands south t-> rule? And if I dared to enforce it, how could I succeed? Were you in power to day what would or could you do ? Reduce, you say, representation un der the fourteenth amendment? You can't. That part of the fourteenth amendment is dead-killed by the fifteenth amendment. What, then, do you propose? A vain and aimless agi tation? That is child's play. Will you send an army south to compel submission to the rule of the ignorant field hand? Grant tried this; sent soldiers into the Legislature of Louisiana, unseated certain members and seated others. You fiercely de nounced this and bolted Grant's nomination. So did Whitelaw Ried, and frantically eried for Brutus to relieve us of a tyrant, an act that Grant never forgot nor forgave. Can you do now what Grant failed to do then? Would Cincinnati -aid you in sending an arme.l force south? WVould it be good for the negro to awaken at this time a fierce race struggle? These are plain questions; will you answer them? Flighty anathema, sky rocket declamation, droll buffoonerv may amuse the groundlings-they do not deceive the judhicious. 31r. Edi tor, the race question is a dijflicult one it becomes fearfully dillicult in a community where the intelligent white man is outnumbered tire to one by the ignorant field hand. Then arise a conflict, of righits. In 1819 John Quincy Ad: s recorded in his diary, speaking of~ the race problem as it then p)resenitedl itself with slaverv,. these words: This is a question between the righits of human nature and the constitution. The problem of to-day is a question be tween the rights of' civilizat:on and the constitution. Until we can see our way clear to a proper solution of this problem. is it not the part of wisdom to leave it to the peole dli rectly involved in it? At all events it is clear that it would better things to ref'er this question to the citizens >)f Oxford.' This is a view of the inatter that Editor IIalsteatd cannot afford to sis cuss. ad lie (disposels of it in an off hand way that is vry refreshing. lIe says that the judge is "as~ ignoi(rant asI Iany field hand,'' aind thiat "thie matter is so far impertinent that it is not worth following." "In fact," the great editor adds. -thle judge is about the most ig7noranit man about the actuali ties of politics that I know." This is indeed a tremendous falling otT fro the great editors usual trench1 ant style. Our opinion is that Judge D)ickson would make a very fine edi tor. P'roved( his Innlo'cen(ce.

The End of a Fatuous Suit-$400 a 3Month Alimony Allowed. Vei rk World, Felbuwi' 4. 'Tlie siit for absolute divorce brought by 31rs. Alice C. Coxe against her hus band, Franklin ('oxe, Jr., which was ommenced nearly : year ago before Judge Pratt. of Brooklyn, was decided yesterday by the referee. The latter in his report grants the divorce, and allows the plaintiff $400 per month perinanent alimony. HIe ailo directs that as Mr. Coxe's property i- out of the State, lie shall give seeturity for the paymnit of the money. The defendant notle no opptosition anti only ohi."cted to that portion of the ref eree's report wh;ic lixes the amount of alimony. .Ju Ige Cullen, before whom the motion to confirm the report was made, reserved his decision. Franklin Coxe, Jr.. the defendant in the suit, is connected with the well known Coxe family of North Carolina and Penusylvania. IIe is reputed to be a millionaire. His father was Trench C. Coxe. who was one of the coal barons of Penns: :a'ia, and lwho at his death left his th- e Sons an immense fortune. Franklin ('oxe, Jr., seems to have been the black sheep of the flock. Immedi ately upon coming into poss-ession of his fortune he manifested a dispo-ition for fast living. In Charlotte. N. C., in 1877, he met and married Miss Alice C. Williams, a wealthy young woman and the bell - of the place. He brought his family to this city in 1882 and lived in good sty le. In April, 1833, while Mrs. Coxe was visiting her mother at Char lotte, Coxe and Emily B tyard, of Texas, a variety actress, occupied apartments together in the Crystal Flats. When Mrs. Coxe returned her husband openly avowed his preference for Emily Bayard, telling his wife to return to her home and agreeing to pay her $200 per month for her support. The deserted wife re turned to her family in North Carolina. L'oxe kept this part of his agreement, and shortly afterwards bought a hand some house at Great Neck, L. [., where he lived in elegant style with Miss Bay ard. About two years ago, Coxe left. Mi-s Bayard for a Miss Edith Schotield, and about a year ago he made overtures to his wife, begging forgive ness, and desired her to come back to im. She returned to the city in answer to his appeals, but when she learned of his conduct she at once sued for a di vorce. Preparing for the State Fair. COLUMBIA, February 2.-Ti e execi tive comunittee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society met again at J 'clock this morning. Mr. J. C. F.

There were other comupetitor's for this premium, who, while showing good results, didi not compljly with tile regumla tions which had been it stab)liebled for the compet itiott. M1essrs. D. P.
