The State primary project was defeated. Full proceedings of the convention are published in this issue. We publish this week another letter V from Mr. Sligh. In it will be found his reasons why he did not appeal to the Executive Committee and contest '2. the election before that tribunal.

It was a quiet election. At Newberry and Pros Sperity a good vote was polled. In facd a fair vote was polled throughout the c>unty. We publish a tabulated state. ment of the ,vote elsewhere. The indications are that Wheeler is nomi nated for Treasurer, Smith, Walker and Perry for County Commissioners. This was the day for the election for -Solicitor. We have the reports from SLaurens township, Clinton, and Jacks and from Union townships, which added to the vote in this county makes the vote stand, Farley 393, Schumpert t1500, Watts .590, Wilson 422. We have , no news from Spartanburg. SIn the race for Congress between Perry and Duncan, Perry is said to Shave a majority of 300. Wharton beat SAbercromiei for the Legislature, and SFerguson beat Crews for the Senate in SLaurens county. We had hoped to Shave the result of the vote for Solicitor ~in this circuit, but the mails are not ~cmig and the wires are down. It is thuht Schumpert will run the second race with Farley. THE SITUATION. The political situation in our county s l interesting andl somewhat exciting. The Democratic primaries for nomina tions on the county ticket are over. SThe result has been declared by the of cfcial head of the Democratic party in SNewberry County. All thbe people se l'ected and constituted this official head ( and the candidates and their friends C Splaced their destinies in the ballots of the people. The people have spoken ~~I-allots, and the results have en announced. No protests have been (G laid before the Ehecutive Commnittee ti aprovided in such cases by the rules ri -the party. The proper thing now t tall the candidates and their friends in Fdo, is to submit gracefully to the will of the people, and move on harmo ~nously as one united family. 1.Sligh says there will be no inde ,endent ticket sprung in the county, * nd he has been discouraging it, and te: 11ri continue to discourage it.m -When.the people get over the excite- te, ~nt and come to think soberly over in fra ~ation they will see that this ex ependent ticket will not im -~ -~s o ----nliar situation and ag _ e_ ikY ..-.. -..an enemy info G E orgia......... Of C A llfornia........... "f. white are ~eb R aska..........-- ... - ot on i ~hnt to the ~-.cut-~to Ut TUL make us forget the past. We are afraid that this agitation comes at an inoppor tune time. It has the tendency to ar ray one class against another, one sec tion of our county against another, and we fear will only widen the breach in our own ranks. We are trying to speak I words of soberness and truth, for we i have great faith in the wisdom and , good common sense of all our people, and we do not believe, when they come to consider this matter seriously, that i they will do wrong to themselves or to their common county-a county which f we all love and whose people we all de- I sire to see succeed and prosper. That there are some irregularities in the conduct of our primary elections we all admit. That there may be some e illegal voting we suppose no one will t deny. That in some cases there may ' be questionable methods resorted to by. over zealous friends to secure votes. may t be possibly true. These things will s always occur in a heated and closely a contested race, such as we had here 3 between Mr. Sligh and Mr. Pope. If those things could be corrected it would - be well. But we are all far from per fection. Mr. Sligh says the object of his letters and labors at present is to purge and purify the party. This is a big job, but r if he can do any thing to make the par ty pure and remove all corruption and irregularities it will be a great accom plishment. We are afraid the public mind is not in condition to listen to words of soberness just :ow, and we very much fear that this agitation will keep up the excitement. The editor of this paper voted for Mr. Sligh in the primary for the Senate. In doing so he simply exercised his right as an individual citizen. Mr. Pope has f been declared the Democratic nominee for the Senate from this county. We 3 accept the result as a good Democrat, in good faith, and shall support him for the place as the nominee of the Demo cratic party. If there is not to be an independent ticket, and the Democrats of the county propose to support the nominees of the party, it seems to us it would be better to leave off much of this agitation. These nominations within the party should be in a friendly spirit and without bitterness and bad blood. From what we can learn of the situa ation in the county the lines are clearly drawn and partisanship is being carriedl to the extreme by both fa' ions, and agitation and rumors an. counter rumors are floating and circulating, and,we fear, making the partisanships more partisan. For the good of our t county and the whole of the people, < we hope this matter will not lead to I anything disastrous. The Republican party is not alto gether dead, and nothing would do them more good than to see the white1 people divided into factions. We must maintain home rule and white supremacy. A CONGAREE CATASTROPHE. [Special to News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, September 7.-For th( Spast ten days itlhas been raining iI this section daily. At first there we e thunder storms of brief duration, buit to for the past three days the weather ha of been overcast and threatening, and1 while the rainfall here has not been very great, the weather has been such as to prevent the opening of cotton - and to rot the cotton in the b,olls. SWhile rain has fallen daily, it has not been steady and the river up to last mtnght had not risen over four feet above 1- low water mark. When the large plan [1 ters on the Congaree River below this d city left their plantations at dark last night the river was comparatively lovw, was not rising and their crops appearedi .to be in perfect safety from the devas aigflood, After a year's hard work, after replanting their crops destroye.d by the early spring freshets and con Stending with many difficulties during the summer, it seemed as if they were about to get their reward in a bountiful| harvest. THlE SUDDEN DELUGE. This morning the beautiful corn and cotton fields of yesterday were trans formed into a sea of rushing yellow water. The cotton was torn up and ruined, while the corn was washed to wards the oeean. During the night the treacherous Congaree had risen twelve feet and overfowed its banks and the fertile lands beyond. All the crops on the bottom lands on the big plantations of Aughtry, Griffin, Seegen and others are submerged and destroy: ed. Of course all the river bottom crops on the Congaree, Broad and Salu da rivers have shaared the same fate. wHAT A LARGE PLANTER SAYS. Capt. J. A. Peterkin, of Fort Motte, was in the city to-day, and he says that< the destruction of crops on the Conga ree River bottom is general. Hie had I thirty acres of corn on this river, and t when he saw that a rainy spell had set l in he immediately cut all of it for for- t age and had just hauled it out of the v field, ,.which is now under water. At 10 o'clock this morning the river was fifteen feet above low water, a rise of t< eleven feet and a halfsince last night.g The water was rising rapidly, and at ' 2.30 o'clock had reached a 'height of e, eightee.n feet. All the rocks and small islandsmi the stream are covered and the river is a boiling, surging mass of liquid mud, with here and jthere a log or black brunk of a tree whirling along toward :he sea. FEARS OF A FALL FRESHE1T. Spring freshets in this river are not of musual, but it is many years since a resbet has occurred at this season oft he year when there is no reparation. L spring freshet even wvhen very de- to truictive allows time for replanting en 'at a rise in the river at this season' aakes the disaster complete. ian The freshet checks the work on the ar 'anal and on the draw in the South I arolina Railway- bridge.I THE RIVER STILL RISING.

LAURENS, September 10.-A tre nendous rain, accompanied at times by urious wind, fell here yesterday after toon and last night. Two sections of the trestle across Attle river on the Laurens & Newberry oad were washed away and no trains lave left here on that road to-day. A not bridge, also across Little river, on he dirt road leading toward Spartan >urg, was washed away. Little River is said to have been igher this morning than it has >een since the freshet of 1852. It is eared that many other bridges through ut the county have been destroyed. The effect on the crops will be disas rous. Bottom corn is almost ruined, .nd cotton has been very seriously in ured, both by wind and water.

The People of Jacksonville Discou?aged, - and Every Preparation Being Made to .v Depopulate the City. The recent dispatches from Jackson: - ville indicate so terrible astate of aiftirs ! tr in that unfortunate city, that Charles- tL ton may well congratulate herself that her quarantine against Florida is sot strict as to obviate any danger whatso- to ever of the ffv:er ever reaching here. le Each day's disptcies lend a gloomier aspect to aflairs, and it is beginning to look as though the once prosperous city of Jacksonville will receive a blow i from which she will not recover for many vears to comle. Th'e present state of af1airs demons trates very clearly the wisdom of the authorities here in declaring a strict quarantine against the entire state of Florida at an early stage of the epideyic. The fever seeis to be spreading to many tl towns and cities nearJacksonville in an tl insidious manner which defies all the la eftorts and precautions of the most ! watchful health authorities. Had Char leston's quarantine been directed only against those cities where the dreaded plague was evident, it is not improbable that the disease might have spread to our city in the same insidious mcanner c that it has to other cities. But the wis don of our health authorities foresaw this possibility, and taking time by the forelock a general quarantine was de clared against every point from which u the fever could be brought and to-day Charleston rests in security, and instead of fearing the fever herself, she stands ready to render substantial assistance to those unfortunate districts Withliue which the fever has become firmly planted. 'r DEI'OPULATING JACKSONVILLE. of The recent dispatches show a most depressing state of aftairs at Jackson- ca ville, and there seems to be no chance w, of any early mitigation of the fever. an The people, who have up to a very few wi days ago been making a brave fight wJ have lost heart, and the only thought now seems to be 01 flight. A census of ra the city is being taken with a view of of depopulating it, and all persons who ut have not the means to transport them. sp selves to places of safety are provided pa with free passage. A DARK DAY IN JACKsONVILLE. am: JACKSONVILLE, FLA.,Septemnber 9.- in' To-day has been dull and gray-almost cold. A high wind has prevailed for the past 48 hours. Contrary to general prediction the number of cases did not a. run so high as had been expected from the nature of the weather. Dr. Neal Mitchell, president of the board of health, issued the oflicial bulletin as o follows for the 24 hours ending at 6 p. co m. September 9: New cases, 49; deaths 7, viz: Patrick Kelly, J. C.

Mr. Sharpe had been r an indefatigable worker on the relief r committee, and had nursed and ten ded the sick of his piarishi ever since r the beginning of the epidemic. , e Of fourteen nurses who reached the ' city last night from New Orleans, eight . were assigned to duty at the Sand ~ Hills, the other six to St. Lukes.

A "Protected" Manufacturer, but Believes in Tariff Reform. [New York World, Sept. 8.] Ten thousand dollars for the national Democratic campaign fund from a Republican of twenty years' standing ! Ten thousand dollars from such a man, ' because he hopes for the success of a principle, means something. Everybody who lives in Senator His coek's district knows Myron Bangs, the millionaire manufacturer of a well "preteeted" industry. He lives at Fair view, live miles from Syracuse. Mr. Bangs has always been consistent in his polities-indeed, it may be said that he has been a partisan, for when Folger ran against Cleveland ran against Cleveland in this State and Mr. langs had with him as a guest the sister of Grover Cleveland he permitted no feeling of friendship to interfere with his political convictions. He voted, and as far as in his power lay he induced his friends and relatives to vote, for the Republican candidate. Folger's overwhelming defeat followed, and following it, but not because of it, came Bangs's change of heart. He be eane a Democrat. This is a matter of history in Syracuse and thereabouts, but it. was not until yesterday that the complete and thorough conversion was made manifest. "It is true," said M. Bangs to a World reporter in the Hoffman House iast night, "that I have given $10,000 to the campaign fund of the national Democratic committee. I did it be cause I thought it was proper to do C so--because my convictions tend that E way. You cannot, nor can any one, say that I had any selfish end to gain by doing what i did. My opinions are my own. They have never been for sale, nor as long as I live will they B: ever be bartered for place, power or be money. I believe that the present Ad. ministration represents what is best - for the country at large, and, repre sent that, it should be sustained. For twenty years 1 was a consistent Repub lican. For twenty years there was no man in the Republican party in the State of New York who believed more thoroughly in its principles than my self. You can understand, then, that has received special attention at the a hands of Republican politicians. 1 employ 300 men mostly Irishmen. Ask them, if you please, whether a Demo- B cratie em~ployer is of less benefit to them than a Republican employer. I All of them have homes, and all of I theni, so far as I know, are contented." "Then you do not take much stock y in the tarift and free trade question ?" "No. It is simply a lot of talk. Mr. -L Cleveland represents the correct prin ciple, and that is why I have signified r my belief that Mr, Cleveland should be re-eleeted."
