EDITOR:
In tbe county convention held in
OreenTille on Saturday, there was
much discussion on tbe injustice
done that and other counties in tbe
State, by tbe refnsal of tbe Legisla
ture to order a census of the State
in 1885, thns depriving Greenville
of two delegates to tbe State Con
ventiou. This is the same spirit of
oppoeition to Charleston which is
now and then cropping out iu poli
tics in tbe np country. If tbe cen
sus had been ordered would not
some of Greenville’s men been tbe
flrat to censure Legislative extrav
agance, when an increased appro
prtation was made to cover tbe
cost t The Tillman movement bad
no place in that convention, which
shows that Greenville, although a
little off on tbe census question, is
still for Democracy, pure and nftde-
filed.
The defeat of Mr. Gladstone in
the recent Parliamentary election
is a blow to those who bad looked
to him lor help in the Irish ques
tion. But this defeat is not tbe Anal
defeat of Ireland’s welfare, and the
question will continne to be debat
ed until the tnrn in tbe tide of hu
man feeling will elect a Parliament
which will relieve the burdens ot
tbe Emerald Isle.
Vcom Canadian papers sent us
try Mr. O. K Rogers, delegate from
the Grand Lodge of Booth Carolina
to the Supreme Lodge, we see the
Canadians gave tbe E. P’s. a most
enthusiastic reception. The Toron
to MaU of July 14, says;
“Tbe Supreme Lodge, Knights of
Pythias, commenced its fourteenth
annual session yesterday morning
in Toronto. Tbe grand parade was
one of the most Imposing displays
ever witnessed in tbe city, it being
estimated that nearly 5,000 Knights
were in tbe parade. At night a
public reception was held iu tbe
Motnal street rink.”
Tbe Toronto ffewt, from which
we make tbe following extract came
oat in a holiday number, properly
iltostrated with sketches of the Su
preme Lodge officers, a full descrip
tion of tbe reception ceremonies,
•ad other incidents, and a descrip
Dee of tbe city, its history, and il
lustrations of prominent points of
Interest to visitors.

“Great are tbe Pythiania.
“Noble in tbeir aims, energetic
in tbeir work, grand in their aspira-
tfons, glorious iu tbeir system ot
fireeentation.
“Yesterday we realized—not for
the first time—-tbs results of Amer-
i issn iavsslon.
“We could stand it to be iuvad-
ed every week.
-“If n better lot of fellows than
^tbs Pythiaus exist we would

Our etty was simply banded over

“They just took the town and did

“Even tbe street cars stood aside
\ when a uniformed division moved

. to the ride streets. Every thorough
-fere was thronged and a K. of P
badge entitled tbe wearer to tbe
freedom of tbe city. Citizens went
to great trouble to put stray Pytb
Ians in the right track.
THE PARADE.
“Canada never witnessed such a
parade as that in tbe streets of To
ronto yesterday. Six years ago the
Oddfellows put as many men iu
line, but tbeir parade was not com
parable to that yesterday.
“For hnlUanoeof uniform, for
attention to every detail, for num
ben, for excellence in marching, for
general effect, the pythiaus beat
the world They captured the heart
of Toronto and will take it away
•yith tbedE
“We bare had larger crowds on
the streeta, we have seen more eu
tbasiasu, we have whooped it up
in greater style, hot, taking tbe
parade as a panda, it has never
been beaten in this city, and what
has not been beaten in this city has
not been seen in any other part of
Canada.
“Mostly tbe Yankees did it and
tbe Westerners, bat we cannot he!
that After a time we may possi
bhr annex them, ao as to have tbe
whole thing within ourselves.
“Anyhow, yesterday they fixed
matters np brown. Before three
o’clock tbe neighborhood about
Clarence square was crowded with
sight-seers bound to have a view of
everything that was going. They
crowded about tbs few knights pro,
asat and wondered. Than a divi-
•ion, headed by a. band, marched
np, and .there was more to wonder
divisions earns np,
t
and there wast enough wonder to
go round. Then tbe whole ICarted
off, and they gave it np.”
Primary and Convention.
Editor Darlinytm Setcn :
I sec. in your last issue tbe rules
necessary to adopt to nominate otii
oers by the primary plan. It con
tains twenty-four sections, and I
think if any one will read the rules
carefully they will see that it is
even more tronble to nominate your
officers than to elect them. After
all this yon have the same oid trou
ble of tbe general election.
It is claimed by the friedds of the
primary plan that “it is the fairest
and most Democratic way to get
the voice of the people.”
Now let ns see- As it is now, the
clubs meet and discuss any matter
that is brought before them; they
select a certain number of the club
to represent them and carry oat
their views; if there is any dissat
isfaction, it is confined to a few and
will soon die out. But have the
primary, and suppose, to iilnstrate,
you adopt the majority rule. Two
gentlemen, A and B, are brought
out by tbeir friends for the same
office. When they start out they
are good friends. Very soon it is
whispered to A that B is taking
some unlawful advantage or using
means that A would not nse or even
countenance. These gentlemen are
no longer fi lends, and their friends
are necessarily forced apart. Now
comes the election to see who you
mnst vote for at the general elec
tion. A receives 1000 votes; B re
ceives 1001. Now bear in mind, by
the convention plan you may have
fifty delegates dissatisfied, while by
the primary plan you have one
thousand. How will this do away
with rings and cliques f Do yon
propose to convert a sma I ring into
a big one f Where is that supreme
satisfaction and harmony that we
hear about! During this primary
canvass you have the “hand shak
ing and the premises,” and you are
buoyed up. If you are A’s friend
be gets left and that leaves you
flat. Now who is to revive you !
The question arises, can ge get
as good men to represent us as we
have now! Gan a man leave his
business and canvass the county for
the honor of being coroner or going
to the Legislature f It appears to
me that there are only two classes
that can afford to be sacrificed for
their country’s good ; tbe man who
lias plenty of money ahead and the
one who has nothing to do.
I neglected to mention that if the
plurality plan is adopted we might
have to hold several elections to de
cide the matter.
If, in this short article, I can
cause a serious consideration of
this matter I am satisfied. I must
confess I am like the old woman
who thought -‘the old way best.

The following citizens have been
placed in nomination by their
friends, with or without tbeir knowl
edge, for the State office# for which

complete, but any omissions will
be cheerfully made good :
- Judge Wallace and Ex Governor
Perry have positively declined to
be candidates for tbe nomination
for Governor, and (jol. Tillman, it
is assamed, desires to remain iii
Congress. It is not known whether
Col Coward desires a renominatiou
as superintendent of education, as
it is understood he seeks the nomi
nation for Congress in tbe Fifth

indicated his desire lor renomiua
tion, but is supposed to be iu the
field.

Important to Farmers.
Tbe commissioner ol agriculture
has received the following letter
which will he of interest to farm
ers :
U. S. Dept, op Agriculture.
A specimen of your blackeccr
oats has In en handed me ht Mr
Howard,thea-sist int eutoinoh gist
for examination under a microscope
The blackened grain is prob.ib
caused by the tungus ustelago carbo
a smut common to w In at oats, rye
barley nnd many grasses. Mr
Howard iuionns me that many cat
tie in your district, have died from
eatitijf this grain. Several years
ago the Ffench Government was
called on to investigate the cause
of death of a large number of cat
tle said to have been fed upon
smutted graiu. The experts employ
ed concluded that the cattle did
not die from any immediate effects
of this fungus, but rather from the
indigestible character of the tood
brought about by the fungus,
believe this is the opinion held by
mycologists generally. The ergot
of rye found on many grasses is a
fungus quite dissimilar iu cbarac
ter to the car6o. It ca ses
disease directly from the poisonous
properties of its sob tions, and has
proved ot deadly effect repeatedly
iu the case of m n as well as in
that of the lower animals ; but tb» re
is no evidence that tbe blackness
of the oats iu question is can>ed by
ergot.

A very interesting biographical
sketch of Joe Jefferson, tbe most
beloved and, if not the most famous
of American actors, appears iu the
August Harper's. The writer, Wil
Main Winter, traces his dramatic
talent through a long line ot illus
trious ancestors who followed the
same profession, and shows how
well the player of “Rip Van Win
kle” deserves the astonishing sue
cess which enables him to gratify
his fondness for painting ou his
Louisiana estate, with only a small
exercise of bis stage talents to iu
terrupt his study of the other art.
The excellent portrait of Mr. Jeffer
sou as “Bob Acres,” by J. W. Alex
auder, which excited unusual atten
tion iu the Academy exhibition two
years ago, accompanies the artic •
as the frontispiece to this number
of tbe magazine. Those favorites
of all plant-lovers, the orchids, are
ably written about and beautifully
pictured. Tbe author is the botan
ist of Dublin Utiiversity, F. W. Bur-
bridge, F.L.S,, and the artists are
W. H. Gibson and Allred Parsons.
Professor Burbride has made a
thorough study of this royal family
of flowers, not only in the botanic
! gardens ot which he is curator, tint
u their native haunts of the East
ern tropics. He giips some inter
esting narratives of the daring ex-
•erienoes ot professional collectors
who penetrates the remotest jung-
es of tbe Amazons and Indies for
these precious growths.
Popular Vetoing.
(From tli« New York Sun.)
Mr. Cleveland’s vetoes of private
(•elision bills and lulls for unneces
sary public buildings are the most
popular acts ot his administration
thus tar. There i- do doubt that
they commend themselves to a con
siderable part of the Republican
P«rty 4n spile of the rant of Re
publican demagogues, while the
Den ocratic party, outside of the
local and individual interests af
fected, almost solidly approves
them. The amount of money in
volved may not be large, but it is
in tbe spirit of true Jeflersoniau
Democracy to check extravagance,
great or small. If Congress sends
any big jobs to Mr. Cleveland, he
can be relied on to block them also,
and for whateve: work of this kind
he does he deserves credit and the
Democratic party will not deny it
to him.

How Gen. Lee Courted Death.
(From a Washington Letter.)
Mr. Reagan gives me a new fact
iu Gen. Lee’s history which is n
generally known in the North He
said that toward the close of tbe
downfall of the Confederate Gov
ernment there was a very general
impression .among ibe high officials
of the Confederacy that Gen. Lee
intended to lose his life ou the field
of battle Tbe impression was
shared by the officers of Lee’s army.
Geu. Lee never lost an opportunity
of placing himself in a position of
danger. Gen. Reagan says that he
drove out Irom Richmond to see
Lee upon the day tbe principal bat
tle of Cold Harbor was fought. As
he came up near where lie could see
Lee’s headquarters he saw the
shells bursting continually around
his tent and ploughing up the
ground around him Some of the
officers asked Mr. Reagan to try
and persuade Gen. Lee to move bis
headquarters behind a piece ot
timber near by. All felt that be
was exposing his life too much.
Mr, Reagan said to Gen. Lee“I
do not presume to advise any Gen
eral iu the midst of a battle, but are
you not exposing yourself too much t
Ought you not to go back nearer
your reserve t Gen. Lee said he
had no reserve. He had only one
ine ot men. H«) did not dare to
shorten bis line for fear it would be
tnrned, and did not dare to thin it,
tor fear it would be broken. Gen.
Lee evidently sought death many
times during tbe closingdays of the
war. That was tbe view of tbe
Southern leaders then and is still
believed by many.
