A CA KD.
M'u. Enrron : I noticed1 nry name in
your last issue, as a nan'mcc lor the Leg
islature, hut did not think that any seri
ous idea was entertained uf actually run
ning the ticket
Having since learned that the'ticket
has been sent. out. loa few of the polls, I
feel eaIK >upon to say to my firends, that
while i appreciate, 1 cannot approve their
action, and trust that they will desist
from further efforts;
Respectfully,
S. R. Mellicii A^tr;
ULK POSTURE.
Today will decide the lot of South
Carolina for the next four years, whether
for weal or woe. And whatever he the
result of the election, by tbnt result is to
be judged what virtue there is in the
ranks of the Republican party. The
Democratic party in accordance with the
advice of their ?State Committee have en- j
tirely withheld putting forthany nomii a
'tions or soliciting any united action on
the part of its members : yielding t.) the
request of the Republicans th .t they
should stand aside and the Rads light the
battle at the polls under the rallying cry
of "Republican Reform." dodging from
the prospect now, even on the ovo of the
election, we must e -nfe.-s that we so no
hope for better times in the fit lire. Yet
this has been thought to be the wiser
course and by this must we now abide,
hoping against fears which are loo well
grounded upon bitter experience.
The bitter fruit of the action of the
Democratic Convention at IJalthnore
promises too forcibl" to bring home to us
the wages of sin, and In Orangeburg fore
shadows'the election of a colored sherifi'j
who has more than tnee been reported
by the grand juries of our county as in
competent and whose nomination was
urged upon the Radical Convciit?off by
.Jamison (also colored) with the words
that several thousand dollars parsed
through (hat (dliire and he wanted i color
ed nuin to have She handling of ir, thatl
the white people bad enjoyed the three '
most important e< unly.t fHcesfor the pas! '
four years; and that now the colored peo
ple wanted one of ihcin?that the while
vote \yas but a fraction ami if a determined
Opposition was made lot no armtrgcircnt
the colored rot^ w'cfllil (alju JJioin all.
\\ e put these woids before you', which if
not his oxdcfe huiguago arc certainly the
spirit of lite remarks, \\\\t\\ nrgtag; the
m minatioii of Cain for [Sheriff. We
want you to look at them well, nhd see
in ih'em what yon hiiisl expect if hence
forth by passiyc pojiey; yoti allow .Mich
ut.prim ipKd arrogance to pass by tin
heedud, unrcsislul. Laok it in the face.
It is this; an incompetent negro, and as
many more a* there are ofliecs. And
there are white men too in our midst w ho
accept nomination fnm a Convention
which' wii3 Miioyioue'ltf packed by pariis

havejenme t.> that depth of wwc; policv.
which leads them to gather their hope
IVom tl'.dfsh hly rays of puny' ro'onny.'-'re-*
fleeted from their rcjWgade skindblk.
This is the 'p.at/iolit! policy of passiv-i
isjui. 1hat is it und nothing more.'
Toko.what, colored men Jamison chooses
to put upon you, and what ones of your
renegade skin folk he chooses to adopt
from policy or what not.
Wo never have and do not now
object to any man's running on a colored
ticket or soliciting, colored votes. But
wc do repudiate ??c*nit the bottom tC bur
heart any wdiite man who would accept a
nomination from any corrvention. which
would allow such remarks to be address
ed to them under any circumstances. It
was beneath Jamison's dignity as a man,
as a legislator, to hare urged any one in
such language. It was beneath the dig
nity of any convention to alfow them
selves to he so addressed. It was arrogance
unbounded in him, in them a degraded
want of self respect. On the part of the
white men it argues a thickness of skin
that would lit them for almost any afri
can climate. This is Republicanism?
the eo worker if democratic ptusivism,
iirtbe battle for Reform.
Wo think that any delegate, to'that
convention (white or black) who had
shown pluck enough to tell Jamison that
he did not have all the brains and votes
in the County would be more worthy of
election to any office, than any man tkey
have out for election.
COMMUNICATION.
HOME ENTERPRISE.
Mft'. Eoram:. As I have engaged this
year, on a small scale, in a new enter
prise, for this section of the State at least;
and thinking probably it might be of
some interest to some of the: readers of
your paper,'who are principally agricul
turists; with your permission I have con
cluded to give a short statement of tho
mod is operandi and results of the new
process of manufacturing" syrup from the
sorghum cane, as claimed and held by the
Southern Sorgho Sugar Company of
Louisville, Fy.
Tho process \i exceedingly simple, so
much so that tiny family, obtaining t^e
right to do so, may manufacture their
own syrup and sugar at comparatively
small cost; very little more than the com
mon way of making the sorghum syrup I
in this State. First, the juice, after being I
pressed from the cane, is deposited in '
largo poplar troughs or defecators, where
it produces its own precipitation of the
gummy impurities, causing them to settle
to tho bottom of the defecators in the
form of dense, insoluble sediment, then
being' cW.pornt id in the two shallow east
iron pans, four feet long and three wide,
for a .-boil tin u under a uniform heat, it;
the consistency of si nd syrup, it again j
passes to another defecating box, IVom J
which it is transmitted by means of a
sw iiiging pipe to anol her evaporator about
twice as large n's the two first, and the
same depth; After being evaporated to
the proper density in this, u refined syrup,
d? licfttcly flavored1, devoid ofthat peculiar j
taste of sorghum and equal lb any of the
sugar-house syrups, is given.
I would not take the responsibility e.'
,eeomincndii!g this enterprise on a 1r-.r-?
senldfrom thefact that there exists such '
a prejudice against sorghum?the very '
name of which seems to possess a had
odor; ami to give yon* an illustration, Mr.
Fditor, I took :f sample, a few days ago
to your town, and exhibited it to some of
the merchants, ir> order to edict a sale,
and on my giving rts f.ftpi nhnio (sorghum)
not one but could flotec'l its nauscatm"
o
(?) flavor. Being convinced in my own
mind that prejudice bad a good deal tod >
w'u'i their decisions5, I gave- it utio'k r
name?sugar cane syrup??nil tue v"t
lir.-t nr.in who examined the sample was
reminded of''old times/' when he used to
cat. the oounlry-rntrdo sugar cane syrup 1
and ordered a b'a'rrel right away ?would
send to the. mill for it. Of course, hoforo
I h it him I disabused his mind of the
sligiht mistake, but not to be outdone he
insisted he always did like good sorghum,
but hasn't sent for the barrel yet.
-?- 'i ? n^*t>?m
I repeat I would not recommend the
enterprise on u largo scale, but $bt\ld con>
fidently say to thd?o who arc in the habit
of raising a few acres fb-V home consump
tion,-to pVoeiVre fnV riglit ( which can be
had Ibra small consideration) and manu
facture on the plan here alluded in. Have
phurtcir- iHt yerfr ifhout tw?nty acres,
with the expeetatiou of maUiiur fm :ttr,
Mil unfortunately did not succeed in pro
curing a centrifugal mill until too lato
for lids crop, but have s?eii sugar of a
good cjhality, comparing favorably with
the New Orh/irfts sugars, made by this
pi:oce-:3. lived if sugar could hot be
made, the discovery is a very valuable
one for syrup alone.
My experience proves conclusively that
where syrup is the object the white lin
phee oi red-top is superior to the .black
imphee. The latter per contray for sugar.

In discharge of our duty yfe hnVe Msitgdthe
feveral public oQices,:nnd lmdtUe shcrifFa. office
in good order. The. office oftlie clerk of court
is, as heretofore reported, in perfect order. The
office of judge of prohatu was closed up and we
were tillable to examine its condition.
In the treasurer's office we found a clerk who
informed us tliat the treasurer was probably at
his farm. This clerk did not >ccm at all familiar
with the office. Ho was unable to answer our
nU'rrogatories a? to receipts, expenditures and
cash oh hand at all satisfactorily.
T!ie scho6Y Coinjnis.doiier's oflice we found
badly ke|>Jrfnd'tfte (rofoksin disorder ttmf exhib
iting frequent mistakes. We have ifrfto?ly re
ported ?iis office, incompetent, but there seems
to he no remedy, hat a new election, which
heingnear at baud, we I?pu \vHl result in InKug
this important oflice with a person Cited to dis
charge it< dwrios.
In the county consult <sioi:ers, oflice wc found
nothing wrong except the poor house accounts'
We find that the exjieiises of the crtablish
nteJit for a little over live mouths amounted to
newly live hundred dollars; and there, being
upon an average hut eight peisons in the poor
bouse during Uihrtiine, we consider" f.*i V??jje.nsc
onorinousj VV\. ford, by txnntii?ig^tneWccmuH
of this iiiduiilu.n, that a very high chtTge i*
made upon each lirtiele furnished, and is allowed
by the heard. This was explained to us by the
Clerk of the Hoard who seemed to h ive charge
of the poor liouae in this way. Ilcsiys that In
i.? obliged to allow the e hiuh prices l??;c use the
accounts are paid ill County orders, which have
to !..? rold at a discount. We present tin- course
of the Hoard oi" County Cotnaiissioners to the
('ourt a- highly repr; hen-iblc ami a s official mis
eombiet for which We pr*t?n1 them for i:.di. i
ineut. The poor htm e ilsclf exltfl/ils mi signs
wflhis l;e-i h i vjw ndiftireofthe poi pie's money.
We find tlr'tire three lunatic persons, who we

itself, and leave the matter in the hamls of your
Honor to hv investigated by such order and pro.
ceodu>g<as you may deem Invt.
We have visited the jail and find it in good
condition. We notice that the Jtil Ki ep? <- has
an assistant who is fully com pet cut to perform
the duties of ids eo-itiou.
And now at tins the close of our year's duties
astir.md Jnroraof this County, and in this the
a-t report lo be submitted by us to this court,
we kturn our thanks to' your Ilon^r for the
courteous assistance which \ on k:?v? extended

We present ous bourse to oiir fellow cHiAins

We lay sisMe duties, the performance of which
