Here seems to be dissatisfaction in the ranks of some of those who have been holding secret caucuses at New berry for the purpose of putting out candidates. Some time ago a full set of candidates for the Senate and Legis lature was named, and also for dele gates to the State Convention, by some of those who support Gov. Tillman. It will be observed that none of those who were selected by. the caucus, save one, have announced their candidacy. Why they are waiting we do not know. The ticket possibly is not entirely satisfac tory. Last week there were all sorts of ru mors of a complete change of ticket and a general new deal. There could not be found a sufficient foundation for these rumors to warrant the mentioning of them in the paper. At any rate on Saturday last there was a gathering of the hosts at Klett ner's Hall and the situation was dis cussed but no new deal was made. Some cominittees.were appointed and some investigations ordered, and very prob ably there will be another meeting. A change was made on the ticket for delegates. A man had to be found to compete with Cromer on the stump, or he would have to be silenced. That would not do, so the man is brought forth and he is Dr. C. T. Wyche, who As substituted for Hon. W. ). Hardy Mr. Hardy never wanted to he a can didate.. No change has yet been or dered for the Legislative ticket, and we suppose there will hardly be any change. Hon. Juo. W. Scott, we understand, had a special invitation to attend this caucus but most respectfully declined. Further than this The Herald and News does. not care to speak of this meeting. We will not refer to those who attended as "goats," and neither do we call the other side "sheep." We do not approve of such epithets and neither do we see anything funny or smart in the use of such appellations. Col. L. J. Allred Wntes.

The teachers' of Newberry County have a reputation for zeal and earnest ness scarcely equalled by those of any other county in the State. Nearly twenty teachers of this county attended the association in Columbia last week, which was a good showing indeed when we remember that not more than 175 teachers were present in all. We are anxious for Newberry to hold the position it now holds, and to this end would earnestly request that all teachers attend the Institute next week.

P., the A RACE WAR IMMINENT. A l.aly Outraged by a Black Fiend Excites the Citizens of Irmo-One Negro Shot. Both Sides Arming-The Fiend in Jail at Lexington. [Columbia Register, :th.l News reached the city of Columbia yesterday morning of an outrage at Irino, a village on the Columbia, New berry and Laurens Railroad, about twelve miles North of Columbia, that aroused the ire of the citizens as much as if it had happened in their midst. Mrs. Robert Addison, living at Irmo, was brutally outraged by George Ki nard at the point of apistol, in her own house, on Saturday morning, while her husband was absent visiting aneighbor, who resided about 100 yeards distant. After the black fiend had accomp lished his purpose he left. Mrs. Addi son at once gave the alarm and a posse was.raised, who succeeded in arresting Kinard on Sunday morning a few miles from the village and carried before his victim, who positively identified him as her assailant. The people's indignation was aroused and threats of lynching were heard on every hand. Why they were not car ried out only a niercifol Providence knows. The negroes in that vicinity became greatly excited overthe af'air, believing in Kinard's claim of innocence, and threats of rescuing the ravisher from the custody of the law were freely made. Yesterday morning Lewis Brown became very abusive in his language, and when ordered to desist by Mr. S. K. Bouknight, the town marshal, attempted to assault him with a stick, whereupon Mr. Bouknight sho him, inflicting what may possibly be a mortal wound. This aroused the ire of the'negroes and they commenced tagather from all quartdrs bearing virious kinds of arms. The whi 'were determined that the prisor should not be res cued, and ' ey prepared themselves for an conflict that might arise. In th eantime Kinard was given a reliminary examination yesterday, and was sent to Lexington jail under a strong guard, as there was a good deal of talk about lynching him. LEXINGTON REACHED SAFELY. The guard with their prisoner reached Lexington safely and he was placed in jail. As soon as the enormity of the crime was learned trouble commenced to brew there. The Sheriff became very apprehensive for the safety of his prisoner and called on the Lexington Rifles to assist him in protecting him. The company assembled in their arm ory, but refused to march out unless ordered to do so by the Governor. At last accounts the prisoner was still alive; how long he will remain so cannot be told. Telegraphic communi cation was cut off before we went to press. Latest advices report a feeling of un rest around Irmo, and there is almost certain to be trouble there, one of the causes being some inflammatory speeches made at a barbecue given on July 14 by Sim Lorrell, Gus Smith and a mulatto from this city, whose name could not be ascertained, with refer ence to the whipping by "White Caps" of two negroes for stealing. Circulars were printed and posted saving "We are law abiding citizens, but have stood the last outrage on our race that we will stand. If another occurs the *hites will have to take the 'conse quences." As the negroes are areyin the majority around Irmo aid was offered by wire from Newberry, and in .case of a fight Columbia -will take a hand ini it. Specimsen Cases. S. H' Cliffard, New Castle.

SAN FRAsNtace C A LQs nE.X H - MW V08 5.7. P'iats from Pinetop. Thank you. Isn't it funny how people try to r stick their finger in your eye? J Sometimes when you think you have vc stuck your finger in a fellow's eye you C have slipped up. ' cc A meets B; A talks; B listens, ' ut p doesn't say much. to A thinks lie has stuck his finger in tI B's eye. B thinks A is about as big a fool as A takes B to be. Consequently, "where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise"-on either C side. This needle's eye is sometimes re(a)d- c -it is always also white and blue-but if there is any green in it it fails to show up in the looking glass. While it is not desirous to be consid ered in one sense exactly as a "machine fC Leedle," yet it does its own pointing, pl stitching and threading. al No, sir; you don't stick your finger - in the eye of this needle. - says "you gave the mosquitos Now if anything was said derogatory - or offensive to the mosquito it is re tracted with a quick apology. But while the mosquito is in the majority, and has his own way, still the minority have some rights that should be respected. The most objectionable thing about - it is he can't be convinced; he won't listen to reason, but begins to howl you down when you oppose him. of Down with the mosquito! He must el be crushed in some way. Parcel him ti out in blocks of five-but be sure you get bim-dn the right block. Ppltics disturbs the equilibrium, dis- J ises the prevaricator and disgusts th the honest man. w On one hand I am asked to write on politics; on the other to say nothing of _ politics. This column was started expressly to talk exclusively of other topics; to da amuse those who would be amused; to m, entertain those who would refuse not th to be entertained: to hurt neither side's feelings; to do good it possible; certain ly to do no harm. . And while everybody around you is to making himself obnoxious each to the i other. I would-simply say, that, If you sprinkle sulphur in front of your hen house it will help to prevent je cholera in chickens. Next! F Of course we all have the right of our opinions. I have nothing to do with your vote; m you have nothing to do with my rote. el I am no better than you. You may e be better than I-if you- are I don't know it. - - As long as one writes .and talks to suit a party he is all right-he is a sen sible fellow. C When he says anything that doesn't ir suit that party he hasn't any sense tC whatever-is a blamed ignoramus, you know. If he has sense at all, he has-as much si on one side as he would have were he at on the other. There are some powerful sorry men - on both sides and some mighty good ones on each side. Why not always be fair? O "Oh! consistency, thou- ir Let's change the subject. r A sensible girl is one who, when she can sing and play well, does not affect edly drawl out, "Oh, I cayn't," when. f asked to "give as some music." Oh, no. The sensible girl is she who, j modestly conscious of her accomplish ments, gracefully grants the requests - of her friends and accommodates them promptly and to thehbest oflher ability. t Every time give me the common- el sense girl (with or without the shoe), n and not the giddy, silly, shallow girl, P~ whose thin-skinned beauty, however -. attractive, most miserably fails to hide her mental deficiency. Some men can write, some can talk, y some can preach. None can write, talk or preach to suit everbody. In fact somebody will have robjection to everything written, said or preached. . Some folks are obliged to be critical. t3 The sermon was too long or too short; o~ the mali oughtn't to have said thisan you do thus and so? why did you do so and so?-until the world has become ei a great big fault-finding unaktiefying, y crnticising mass. We can't all see alike. Because-you didn't like the preacher's sermon it doesn't necessarily follow1 that the sermon was not good. Othersi did, and are as fully competent to si judge as is Mr. Critique. Some people -ti criticise to show their alleged superior ( ?) sense, ignorantly oblivious of the~ fatthat they are exposing their igno rance and making themselves ridicu lous in the eyes of the truly cultivated and refined, who do not always pint T out flaws when they see them. There p never was a ser'mion or speech that p, someone else than its author could not have improved (in his mind) by adding a word here and there or erasing a line to suit his own peculiar or erratic fancy. There is entirely too much of criticism. The point of the needle's ai argument is, if a thing is'good, it is p1 good regardless of the fact that you or pi someone else could improve it in some T particular. If you don't like it pass i by, especially if you can't do better1 yourself.
