The Phosphate Fight.
F?V^/n:o tjme pasi the Press of the
the fjlato hat? Leen combatting rather
ficvoelvthe Pins-plmte Companies in
tticir '*?? hi It ccd "combination mono
-fc?l.y-" -tri kctpuD the prices, of their
Teftiiizce*' while cotton ami every
thing else lias gone down so low.
These cotnprini? s* iVnvo at last beetled
the elainoi and mode air cxplant'tiori.
They claim that they have reduced
the price of their phosphates $2 on
vthp Ipnj:, That it is . true that they
-claim . 000 ' lbs. of cotton now instead
6Jf*46*.lbs; as -last year for a ton of the
^ertifizer*-" but that. Turniers forget
that the .iiasoit of this is that cotton
is lower: now and it takes more of it
to pay . for the fertilizer. That the
farmer has all the chances of gain.
as he has the option at the end b: the
\cnr of paying for his fertilizer in
money if cotton is high and thus
making his profits, or of paying for it
in cotton, if cotton'is low, and thin
Eavihgthe loss; while they are obliged
n cotton only biiup? '
. . . only 500 lbs. for the
pound. ?7. ... - . .
*fc.i ol fertilizer and thus bear a
heavy loss.
vThis slnlrment looks plausible and
may be ct rrcct, especially in refer
ence to the "cotton option," but wc
think that the money price of the
fertilizer is too high. With bacon
reduced to o to .Vets., per lb., coffee
to 12i et?., corn to 4o ets. per bushel
,f\rfd peas to 50 cts., and all other pro
visions in proportion, why should our
con uncial fertilizers keep up to $40
>iiutlSfjO per ton ?
It should be remembered that
combination rn one side will leget
combition t.n the'i tin r und somebody
might got hurt in the fight. Let the
price of the fertilizer be put down to
the lowest figure rof-siblc,

The Oullonk for 1830.
To win. in 1880 will require all the
?Fyencitv, forbearance and unilv that
the Democrats can muster.
Re] ublicat? leaders of the Rlainc
school have long seen that the keep
ing alive of sectional animosities an I
the preventing of any friendly alli
ances between the North and South
. a
is the only hope of their party.'
On this chord they are playing
with marye'ous success With
?jTunrs saical hypocrisy they prate
about pence, but they don't want the
war ever to end, because, with the
establishment of true harmony and
good feeling between the sections,
comf.?nhc downfall of-their dominion.
Their battle cry is "a solid North"
against "a solid South," and every
straw is used for its verification.
All Rough possessed1 of ' neither
brains nor character, that child of for
tune, UlyscsrS. Grant; is taken upas
the most effective embodiment of this
war-like sentiment, and as the recog
nized leader of the'Northern armies,
is expected to solidify the North.
Eve-iy thing points to him just now
ns'the standard-bearer of the Repub i
enna in ihc coming Presidential con
test.
Under, these circumstances what
should be the Democratic tactics?
In our opinion a continuation of
1 hat spirit of moderation ami broad
statesmanship which will break down
the charge of sectionalism on the par t
of the South, and show that if the
South ii solid, it is solid for constitu
tional liberty and not for sac lional
Aggrandizement.
?In this connection we regret to see
the quarrels which arc going on be
tween Northern and Southern Demo
crats in Congress which are giving so
much encouragement to our political
opponents.
Democratic principles are broad
nud national and not section al. As
a proof of this wo o.ily have to refer
to llio war, which while it arrayed
the sections against each other, the
Democratic party was as broad as the
nation, and was found on both sides.
Jt is therefore not .s< clionnl, and nnv
tendency to make it so will result in
our ruin. Tlio South cannot elect a
President alone. If therefore we ali
enate our Northern allied we con
sign ourselves to the certainty of all
the horrors ofGrantism.
By wisdom, concession and unity in
the last National Democratic Con
vention which nominated Til Ion, we
carried lour Northern States and, al
though cheated out of it, elected oil r
candidate.
Why abandon this policy ?Ooes any
Southern aspirant crave the emolu
ments of the Presidential harth ?
Can we allbrd to allow such paltry
considerations of private gain, or in
vividttal ambition to stand in the way
of the establishment of Constitutional
liberty?
We trow not. Let who may, en
joy these honors; but give us, as a
ncoplc, the material blessings of free
government and equal rights.
In furtherance ol this object let us
select as our standard beater that
man whose name aud character will
be a living denial ol every charge of
Sectionalism, and will restore the
party to its true national reputation.
Sweep at Home.
In a recent discussion in the Legis
lature of New Jersey, it was develop
ed that s iding valves were used to
facilitate the stuffing of ballot-boxes.
This is ahead of anything in the
South. The Teller Committee had
better turn their labors in this direc
tion.
I>CtlllS ?
We regret to learn that Mr. .T-*??ies
Johnson, of theForVi ?"? wft8 tllken
sick whil" "I attendance upon the
Ai.st Court, and compelled to return
to his homo, died on last Friday of
pneu monia.
We are also pained to receive the
intelligence that Mr. N. P Jefcoat,
a most estimable citizen ol Lexing
ton County, died on Wednesday, of
iiic same disease.
Again we are called upon to note
the nnival, on Friday, of the re
mains of Mr. Eugene Clover, a son
of the late L. O. Clover, former
Clerk of Court. lie was pursuing
bus studies in the up country at the
lime of his dentil. Although a mute,
Mr. Glover was a young man ol* in
telligence, and gave every promise of
a USClul future' The l'unoi-.vl eoi?.
vices were performed at tin Latin -
ran Church.
IM rs. Elizabeth, Staley, an old in
habitant of this County, died on
Mond and was buried on Wednes
day at i! o Presbyterian grave yard .
She was tt:i old lady and highly
esteemed for her excel etil nualities.
Her funeral took place at :he Metho
dist Church, where a large number
of her friends gathered to pay the
last respect to her memory.
J. C. McKewn, an active and
promising youth, is the. next victim
of the grim messenger. He was a
young man in the vigor of youth, and
was sick but one week he.'ore bis
death, lie was a member of the
Hook and Ladder Company where
he made many friends by his sterling,
social, qualities, and faithfulness iu
the discharge of duty as a fireman .
Revs. O. A. Darby and Manning
Brown performed his funeral services
at the Methodist Church on Monday,
where his many friends and bis Coln
rades ol the Fire Department assem
bled in sadness to pay him the last
testimonials of respect. Thus jne by
one the young and the old are drop
pi ng off on tlie road-side of life, and
we me forcibly nnd daily reminded
of the realities ofthat eternity which
will sooner or later become the por
tion ol each one ol us who survive.

Shooting Encounter.
Brakciivillb, 8. C. Feb. -1, 1879.
I'di <>r Orantjvburi/ Time*:
Quite an exciting election was
hclil here, yesterday for Intendant
and Wardens. The Hon. W. II.
Roc dish was urged for the first posi
tion by a number of his friends, but
declined to enter the field, as the
ei lor question was a part of the con
test, which he deprecated with many
other good citizens.
Mr. ?lohn C. Reeves headed the
Democratic and Mr. E. T. R. Smoak
the Republican tiekit. The light
was a very warm one indeed, a num
ber of whites Jiaving openly
espoused Pmoak's side, At the close
ot the poll there weii.some fifty-odd
votes in the box^fl'vWss of the poll
list, wh"?ch wcre/iniM^B'it according
to law. This ?toiie;^^election was
declared by the tjtnagers. Mr.
Reeves ami his ticjtet got in by a
handsome majority. A uotico of
protest, however, was served upon
tho board of managers, and a judi
cial investigation miy bo the out
come of this day's werk
No one knows luiv the excess of
votes got into the b is, and certain it
is, that all law-ahidiig citizens de
plore such exhiilrTT^oV of disregard
for the purity of <mrelective system.
Where it will end, n?j):io knows. It
is an fugus growth vhich has taken
root in our body poli.ic, and may yet
prove " very Upas tree to our civi
lization unless frowmtl down and dis
countenanced by homrahle mm. A
man may he excused for disregarding
his obligations for society now and
again when prompte 1 to do so by
the law ofselt-prcsciMtiion, hut there
is no paliatiou tn^^use for a total
abandonment of otvi's ?eif to w rong
doing. This I say wUhout reference
to any individual or party. The
evil seems to be general in its nature,
and the catiftic should he applied
gone. ally.
Last night a personal encounter
took place between Mr A. F. II.
Dukes and Mr. John \V, Fairy, in
which the former was shot twice in
the ri ght hau I, and the 1 attcr three
limes, once ii; each thigh and once
near the groin. Dr. Grissatt was
called to Mr. Dukes and Dr. Ott to
Mr. Putty. *
Tbc aflair i- much to be deplored,
as both ge itleinon are well known,
and have large and respectable fami
ly connections in our County. And
vet such encounters miy bn looked
for where personalities are in dtllg?d
in at our elections. One word brings
on another until reason is dethroned
and passion bent on revenge, tii e-j
her comely place and urges its vie.im
with amazing recklessness to the
commission of deeds he would blush
to contemplate in his calmer mo
ments. Mr. Editor, whither are wo
drifting? Yours,
