Reader, don't imagine that we are going

attention to the article in hast weeks Mes

refusing to hold an Office. But the editor
of that paper actually says that when Con-

with few anti-Lecompton Democrats and
Know-nothipgs," he addressed him, through
his acting Chief Clerk, asking for dis
charge, not wishing to hold position under
a man thus elected" There, reader, you
have it. Was ever such patriotism exhib
tied before by an editor, especially, as we
remarked above, by Democratic editor?--
We believe Mr.. Forney let him of.

PuncTHAsE OF rORr srEpFTENsON.

AAAfANRNAHN
A meeting Of tho citizens Of this place
was held at the Croghan House on Monday
evening, lstb, TO take measures for the pur-
chase Of the Fort Property By Che town, for
town purposes. After a free discussion, a
committee consisting Of w. N. Morgan, r.
P. Buckland and ]. W. Wilson were sp-
pointed to draft aud circulate petition ask
ing the Legislature to enact law au-
thoriSing the town TO make such pur-
chase. The petition is now in circulation
for signatures.
This is move in the right direction
The Fort should be the property Of the
town, and be dedicated to public purposes.
II is desirable that the town should own a
spot for park and promenade, and there
is no more desirable one in our limits that
can be bought; and the memorable battle
of the 2dof August, 1913, makesit of public
interest, which can be appreciated by all
who have stood on the blood -hallowed spot
There are, we understand, remonstrances
against the purchase, also 10 circulation
This is the way to test the matter. If the
majority of the people think it inexpedient
and are opposed to the purchase, it is their
duty to express such an opinion. One thing
however, we think cannot be denied; if the
town should ever wish to obtain lots for
public purposes, there are none so pleasant
and desirable in our limits, that can be so
cheaply purchased. The property will large
ly increase in value within the next FIVE
years. The fact that it was the scene of
Croghan's conflict and gallant victory,
is strong argument in favor of the pur-
chase. Therefore we say-buy it.
In this paper will be found call for a
meeting Of the citizens to be held at Birch
ard Hall, tomorrow, Saturday evening. It
is desirable that there should be full at
tendance. Let all come, whether in favor
of or opposed to the purchase, aud express
their opinions on the matter.

The Washington correspondent of a lead
ing South Carolina journal thus deplores
the growing weakness of the Slave States
"Day by day, year by year, census by
census, the South is becoming hopelessly
weak and powerloss beside the mammoth
North--made so by the channels of COM
merce and immigration which have been
marked out, and protected by Federal leg
islation. The subject is inexhaustible in
fact and argument"
Yet such fellows as Keitt and Edmund
son do all they can to outrage Northern
feeling, widen sectional animosity, to pro-
woke attacks upon Southern men and South
ern institutions, just as though their section
was not "hopelessly weak and powerless
beside the mammoth North.7 These Con-
gressional bullies apparently know no bet
ter than to be guilty of outrageous acts
that must inevitably inhame the Northern
mind, and if persisted in excite passionate
and unrehectiye individuals of that @mam-
moth North" to bring on those very civil
and social explosions which the South so
much dread Tribune.

A Coon STYLE OF ADvERTIsNe.-Mr.
Kennedy, the proprietor of Kennedy's Med
ical Discovery, has adopted very good
style of advertising; he takes man affiic-
ted with some painful humor, such as Scrof-
ulo, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, DC, cures him
entirely with two or three bottles of his
medicine, and returns him to the commu-
nifty a sound and healthy man. He, of
course, mentions his recovery to every one
he meets who is suffering with similar
disease to the one with which he was troub-
led; this man is also cured, and another
advertisement is secured. The country is
full of these living advertisements, who at
any moment are willing to testify to the
virtues of Kennedy's Medical Discovery"

CaPtnin o. tho Great Eastern Drownod.
Misfortune seems to attend everything
aud everybody connected with the Great
Eastern. Capt Harrison, the commander
lost bis life on the 2lst ult,, by the upseiting
Of boat at Southampton; his own gig,
in company with DR.. Watson, Surgeon Of
the Great Eastern, Capt Lay, the chief
Purser, and son Of the latter. The boat
was manned by six picked men. The
weather was very squally, and as the boat
ncared the Southampton docks, Capt. Har-
rison ordered the sail to be lowered, but il
stuck fast and heavy gust of wind caused
the boat to capsize. Capt. Harrison clung
to the boat for a few minutes, making des-
perate attempts to right it, but he became
exhausted and fell back into the waves. He
was picked up, about twelve minutes after
wards floating foot below the surface of
the water, with his arm cast loosely over an
oar The most energetic efforts were made
by no less than ten medical men TO restore
animation, but all was fruitless. The gal
vanic battery was applied without any eff
feet whatever
