This letter was on important business requiring an answer on the 12th-three days before itt arrival here. This gross and an? noying dereliction of duty, is a serious ob? struction to business and should be looked after. We have heard of other complaints in this line, and hope, that those who are charged with the duty of preserving an effec? tive mail service, will see that, hereafter, let? ters shall not be al-cw ed to travel at random, over the country, on account of the indiffer I of those employed. Resurrection Night. Last Monday night, cs the shades of even? ing fell, and shut off the gase of the curious, a coterie of the "old timers," the relics of radicalism and greenback-!odepeodeotism in Sooth Carolina, set at a private house in this city, and the business calling together this assemblage, may be inferred from the party gathered there, to wit: Hendrix McLane, Thomas Baskios, W. P. Smith and other lesser lights of the same faith and order E. M. Brayton was in the city, but whether at the conference or not was not stated. The occasion, deemed so important as to bring these grand cyclops together shoold be sufficiently full of warning, to in? duce all good Democrats, without delay, to discontinue this wrangling among themselves at once, and not plunge the State into the vortex of utter ruin, now, seemingly so near, and gaping to receive us. Surely, soch evidences of the destiny await? ing us will open the eyes of our people, late os it is. -am > ? -i Death of Dr. B. J. Meynardie.

This is a Straightout club, as will be shown by the following resolutions, which were en? thusiastically adopted : Whereas, quite a number of us live long distances, seven to ten miles, from the Democratic clubs of which we are members, thereby making it difficult to attend regularly the meetings of these clubs ; and whereas, we believe it is the duty of every Democrat to be regular in the attendance on the meetings of his club and by his vote and influence secure fair and just representation in all the councils of bis party, the party of good and honest government ; and whereas, we believe the maintenance of the Democratic party in all its purity and integrity is essential to good government, yea, ?. /en to the safety of our lives and property ; therefore be it, Resolved, That we, the undersigned, Demo? crats of Shiloh and Mayesville townships, do hereby organize the Salem Democratic Club : that the place of meeting shall be Boykin's Mill; that we pledge ourselves anew to the constitution of the Democratic party, and all measures adopted by its regularly constituted authority ; and do not endorse any candidate, bat promise ourselves to vote for the best man within the Democratic party, according to the lights before us.

Carnes was elected chair? man of the delegation and given power to fill any vacancy occurring and to appoint dele? gates to represent the club as it increased in numbers. A certified list of the club was furnished the Bishopville club, with the re? quest that the names be stricken from the roll of the said club. The following resolutions were offered by Mr. G. H. Reid and unanimously adopted by a rising vote : Whereas, we the members of the Bishopville Conservative Democratic Club, in meeting assembled, recognize the fact that we have reached another "dangerous period" in the history of our State and that the situation is fraught with peril to the life of the Demo? cratic party by reason of the bitterness and prejudices excited in this political campaign. Therefore be it resolved : That we condemn in unmeasured terms the wholesale abuse and denunciation of our State Government by B. R. Tillman. That the unfounded and unwarranted charges of corruption and dishonesty made by bim against our State officials and legislators is a severe reflection upon the probity of-every Democrat who by his vole helped to place those men in office. That this guerilla warfare now being waged against the characters of our honored public servants is disgraceful to our people, and should be sternly rebuked at the polls by every lover of bis country and by every Democratic voter who feels any pride in up? holding the fair name of South Carolina. That we heartily endorse th? candidacy of Joseph H. Earle for the Governorship, be? cause his character may be summed up in these words : Patriot, statesman and gentle? man. That these resolutions be published in The News and Courier, the Sumter Watchman and Southron, and with a request that the Green? ville News and Columbia Register copy them, John F. Kelly, President. Di E. Durant, Secretary. We have received from Mr. J. D. Shaw, Secretary of the Bishopville Democratic club, the "Preamble and Resolutions," adopted at a reorganization of the club, on Saturday last. The club rejects, with indignant denial, any imputation on the integrity and sound? ness of the followers of Mr. Tillman. They declare the latter to be the man for Governor; instruct their delegates to vote for him, and only 6uch persons for office-other things being equal-as favor the "Movement" ; they sadly deplore the divisions, and declare we must not "fall out by the way." The time of receipt prevents the publication of the resolutions in full. Resolutions Passed by the Farm? ers' Democratic Club of Sumter Township. SCMTER Co., S. C., July 12, 1890.

While I am not a Tillman roan at the same time I do not wish to condemn those of ray friends who are. j. B RYAH. Wedgefield, S. C., July 11th, 1890. Sister Jennie Didn't Rhyme. Ruskin refused to commend Rossetti's poem "Sister Jennie" to Thackeray, when the latter was editor of the Cornhill Magazine, because "guinea" did not properly rhyme with Jennie. That may be so ic their literary field, but when it comes to the domain of usefulness no authority, whatever its eminence, but would have found a delicious j'ogle between "success" and Dr. Westmoreland's "Calisaya Tonic." The very way in which it so firmly establishes itself in every home is eloquent of its virtues as a home medicine. To it care-worn man and enervated woman instinctively turn. It is pre-eminently the boon that medical re? search has conferred on a beseeching world. It furnishes instant relief for a torpid liver, dyspepsia, chronic headache and loss of ap? petite, general debility and serious blcod and malarial poison.
