One of the most deplorable re sults of the recent Democratic primary is the retirement from public life of Congressman Hemphill. South Carolina has a loyal son in Mr. Hemphill and no man that has represented the State at the National Capita! since the war has done more for our people. He stood in the foremost rank and his success in Congress reflected honor up on his State. Ever on the alert to do his peo ple service, he represented the State truly and well. His ef forts were invaluable and it is beyond our comprehension how the voters of the Fifth district should be willing to dispense with them. They have turned down an able, active, experienc ed legislator and have taken as a substitute a man of no exper ience and of unknown ability. The people of the Fifth district, we presume, know their own business, but in retiring Con gressman Hemphill they have injured the interests of the whole State. Another victim of the primary is Hon. George Johnston, of the Third district. He is serving only his first term in Congress, but his record in the State Leg islature and the good work he has done during his brief time in Congress, gave promise of the excellent service he would have rendered his constituents had they permitted him to remain longer in Congress. He has been retired to the regret of a large portion of the people of the State. BLACK VS. WATSON. Much interest is centered in the race for Congress in the Tenth Georgia (Augusta) dis trict. The contest is of unusual interest because the lines be tween Democracy and Third partyism are strictly drawn and the fight is upon that issue. The candidate of the Democrats is J. C. C. Black, a man of great ability and eloquence, and the Third party is backing its fore most champion in the South, Tom Watson, the man who was elected to Congress as a Demo crat and who turned traitpr by joining the Third party after his election. The contest is becoming warm and exciting and the whole country is watching the district. Mr. Black is making the canvass on the Democratic platform and in his eloquent way is making hard hits for sound Democracy. Mr. Watson has very much of the demagogue in him, dealing in a great amount of clap trap to catch the prejudiced mind. He is making even a still more dangerous appeal. He is ap pealing to the negroes and is filling their minds with incendi ary notions of their rights and their equality with the white man. All good Democrats, whether they live in the North o South, wish Mr. Black to win. His success will mean a victory for straight, sound Democracy, and will be a crushing blow to the demagogue who appeals to the prejudice of the white man and the incendiary spirit of the ne gro, and who seeks to divide men who should be brothers feeling than for us to have the possibility of negro domination staring us in the face. It would indeed bring us all together. FIRE CANNOT “DOWN" IT. Fire destroyed the office of the Florence Messenger on Thursday night. Fortunately the material of the office was saved, though badly damaged, and Editor Hammond, with his usual enterprise, was able to is sue his paper within afew hours after the regular time for pub lication. The flames did con siderable damage to the outfit and we extend to the Messenger our sympathies. The many friends of that newsy journal will be glad to know that, noth ing daunted by the misfortune which has befallen it, the Mes senger will continue to appear without interruption. America'* First Lighthouse. The first lighthouse built ou this con tinent was at St. Augustins, Fla. It chier use was as a lookout, whence the Spanish people of the town could se>. vessels approaching from Spain or get uotice of the coining of foes in time to runaway. The tower attracted the at tention of Francis Drake as he was sail ing along the coast with his fleet of high pooped ships on his way home from pil laging the cities of the Spanish main. So he stopped long enough to loot the town and destroy what he could not take away.—Washington Star. An Absentminded JournalUt. Jim Faberpusher is one of the most industrious journalists in New York. He thinku of nothing but his professional duties. One day his wife (to whom he was re cently married) said to him: ‘‘You don't speak to me any more. Have you ceased to love me?” ‘‘Oh, no, but I just can’t find time. I'm pressed for time.” “Yes, but I don’t get pressed at all,” responded the neglected wife. This well merited rebuke reminded the journalist of his ebligations to his better half.— Texas Siftings. One Way. Mrs. Dingo—My dear, I have grown so thin lately that I shall have to get some new gowns. Dingo—Great heavens! You know how poor I am. Isn’t there any way you can get fat again? Airs. Dingo—You might send me to Florida.—Clonk lie view.

The negro politicians, and their renegade white friends, are showing un usual activity and the air is fill ed with all sorts of speculations as to what the Republicans will do. It is hardly probable that they will nominate a State tick et, though there is now much talk to that effect. Should they nominate a tick et we would not look upon it with any fear of danger, but we rather think it would do the Democratic party good. Of course the Republican ticket would be badly whipped, but to be confronted with our bete noir, negro rule, would have a wholesome effect upon Democ racy. The party in South Caro lina is in a state of unrest. The bitter feeling engendered by the factions, and thedisappointment and dissatisfaction existing in our ranks would be swept away \ in a flash should the Republican ty show its head.
