Hunt needs no introduction to our Sumter folks. He has been in the shoe busi? ness a long time, and has commended himself 1 to ali customers by his faithfulness and busi? ness qualifications. Mr. Frank G. Haynsworth who left Sumter five or six years ago for the purpose of seeing something of tbe -world, returned last week to the surprise and joy of his many friends and acquaintances. Frank says be has seen eight of these United Stales and thinks South Caro? lina is as good as any of them : therefore he is ruminating seriously on the advisability of driving stakes and pitching his tent right here iu Old Sumter. Mr? William Bogin has engaged his services- for this fall. Messrs. James D. Witherspoon, F. W. Crosswell, Temple Friersou and Willie Zemp, with the yard stick in hand, have regularly set iu to do a smashing trade this fall.

Editors: The Democratic Clubs must j meet this or next week to elect delegates to J the Nominating Convention. It is very im- ? porta?t that each club should understand j distinctly what is the true basis of repre- j sentation, aud the consequences of not elect- ? ing on this basis. Under the Constitution the Executive Com- j mittee bas the immmediate supervision and control of clubs. Conventions deal with them only indirectly through the Committee. Though perhaps not obligatory, it is highly j proper that the Committee in calling a Ccu- , v?ntion should carry out the wishes of the j Couveution requesting the call. It has doue j so in this instance ; and declared thai dele- j gates from clubs can be voted for only by j those members who voted the Democratic j ticket in 1880, and those prevented from j doing so by non-residence or otherwise and j those who have since come of age. While, j therefore, persons not included in either of j these classes may be members of a club, still { they cannot vote for delegates; and should j any such member vote for delegates, it would, j by the letter of the law of basis, invalidate j the election of all the delegates, and the club j be without representation. It is true that in organizing the Convention, the Gouty Chair- j man would presume that each Club had con- j formed to the law o' basis, and allow the del- j egates to be enrolled ; but if objection be j raised, tuen inquiry would have to be made, ! either directly or through a committee of . credentials, whether the election was- ia con- . fortuity to the law ; and in the meantime the , delegate? of that club may be excluded from I participating in the permanent organization, ; and should, therefore, conduct its election ac- . cording to the rule laid down by the Com- ! mittee. j Bat more than this: Each Convention like any other legislative body, is the sole judge i of the qualification of its own members. The j only business of the coming Convention is to j vote for candidates of the party. The terms! of qualification of delegates who will be enti- j tied so to vote were fixed by the Convention on j the 14th instant and repeated by the Commit- j tee-to wit : only delegates duly elected by Ie- | gally organized clubs composed of members ; who voted the Democratic ticket in 1880, or j those who have since come of age. or who were P unavoidably prevented by non-residence or | otherwise. If, therefore, the ds>gates of any ! club be elected by members of a club not in- j eluded iu one of the above clases ?hedelegates I will not be qualified. Or to put it more ex- ! actly, if any club allow any member not in- j eluded iu one of the above classes to vote for j delegates, all of the delegates of that club will j be excluded from voting for candidates in the j Nominating Convention. A fundamental principles of Democracy is ? strict construction of Constitutional law. If, j therefore, any club desires to participate in the ? election of candidates it must conform strictly j to the law of qualification prescribed. OLD TIME DEMOCRAT.

Foo Choc's Balsam of Shark's Oil Positively Restores tho Hearing, and is the Only Absolute Cure for Deafness Known. This Oil is abstracted from peculiar species of small WHITE SHARK, caught in the Yel? low Sea, known as Carcharodon Rondeleth. Every Chinese fisherman knows it. Its vir? tues as a restorative of hearing were discover? ed by a Buddhist Priest about the year 1410. Its cures were so numerous and MANY SO SEEMINGLY MIRACULOUS, that the rem? edy was officially proclaimed over the entire Empire. Its use became so universal that for OVER 300 YEARS NO DEAFNESS HAS EN I ST ED AMONG THE CHINESE PEOPLE. Sent, charges prepaid, to any address at ?1.00 per bottle. Hear What the Deaf Say ! It has performed a miracle in my case, I have no unearthly noises in my head and hear much better. I have been greatly benefited. My deafness helped a great deal-think another bottle will cure me. " Its vii tues are uunqestionable and its curative character absolute, as the writer can personally testify, both (rom experience and ? observation. Write at once to Haylock & j Jouncy, 1 Dey Street.
