LANGSTR0TH'S PATENT BE HIVES,
for the county of jefferson, prepared to furnish
said Hives made in the best manner of seasoned
material with recent inprovcme nts to all who may
want them. For their merit a. nd great superiority
over any and all other hives refer any and all

many in this vicinity. We vouch for over three
hundred pounds Of pure virgin Honey having been
taken from three Of these Hives in lS65, besides
leaving an abundant supply for the winter OF
the bees in the lower or breeding depa rtmcDt.
As there are some persons in this county who have

authority for using them, we hereby notify them
that we will place our claims for their use. with

US. We have paid our money for this right, and
do intend that it shall he used by ady with
out authority and payment OF the patent fee here
is but side to tins question before the United
States Courts, where the costs very L.avy, in
dependent ofdama Ecs. As we are reluctant [though
detcrIniued) to take this course, we hope

offended for years from the 9Th Of October,
1906. Wealso caution all persons (not authorized)
against manufacturing said Hives in tins county.
We have ordered some of LanSztroth's work

Pollard's Biography of Mr. Davis.

Mr.. Pollard, it is said, will engage in q
biographical and historical work that
will criticise very deeply the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Davis, during his admins
! tration. Great men as we'll as others,
have faults; and the greater their vir-
tues, the more apparen: their foibles.
| Mr.. Davis is no exception-not being in
fallitle, yet his errors were Of the head
and not of the heart. If the batteries OF
bitterness need be brought against Mr..
Davis, defer the work we pray for a sea.
son he is not yet free for our sakes.
Mr.. Davis claims our sympathies.-
A martyr to the pains of an acute and
prostrating disease during the war, he
was also hamperel and prosecuted in
the discharge of his duties, through all
which he bore proud and lofty crest,
and pursued with unquestioncd purity of
motive the course before him. The silence
with which he sealed his lips, and the
patience with which lie bore his impris-
onment, attest the lofty sentiments of his
soul. His state papers were models Of
classic purity: and breathed forth the
Spartan courage, and Christian faith and
fortitude which possessed him.
Public lnen are public property it is
true, but it is to posthumous writer's
that we look for a just and impartial
portrayal of historic characters. Con-
temporary writers either deal in fustian
or unwarranted criticism. Criticism.
we think, is sometimes legalizcd SLAM
der. To expose false doctrines and
scisms that individuals may seek to
propagate, ''to shoot folly as it flies" and
to attack in general terms, crude in
noyations and errors as they arise in
society, come within the purview of
the principle, but to lay bare and ex-
pose the lives and doings Of individuals
who were governed by purity of motive,
is species of calumny for which there
is no excuse. The book will sell, no
doubt. For in these days, alas, it re-
quires that we probe very deeply and lay
bare the inner life, in order to satisfy
MANY.

Democratic Central Club of Newberry

At a meeting Of the Newberry District
Central Democratic Club, Col. Moor
man, President, in the Chair, Reprcsen-
tatives appeared from nine Clubs.
William Y. Fair, delegate to Columbia,
reported the proceedings of the conven-
ton of delegates.
On motion of Gen. Garlington, meet.
ing Of this Club was called for Thursday
next, the 22nd instant, and the different
clubs were requested to send FIVE or
more delegates.
On motion of Gen. Darlington, it was
resolved, That the disqualification i'm
posed by the Reconstruction Acts, as to
voting, having been removed by the
adoption of the srcsent Constitution, in
the opinion of this Club, all persons who
are entitled to Register, should not fail
to do so, and after registering, should go
to the polls and vote in the approving
election.
1t was also resolved, That the Treasu-
rer be requested to fui niSh, at the next
meeting, on Thursday, the 22nd instant,

different clubs under the call heretofore
made, what clubs have contributed and
how much, and that those clubs in ar
rears are requested to bring forward the
amounts due by them.

The Approaching Contest.

But few weeks more and the anal con>
test between democracy and radicalism-
between liberty and centralization-will
have ensued. Time flies upon slippers of
list. Are We alive to the issue, and do we
realize the nature Of the contest? It is q
moral warfare of colossal proportions, in
which everything is involved. The success
Of pure democracy, which is the conservator
of nations life, should engage the mind
and heart of the whole country. We strive
for common heritage and common safety.
Let our faith and fortitude not expire, trust
ing that under the banner of truth and jus.
tice we may yet emerge from the Egyptian
like darkness surrounding US.
Unity of sentiment should give verve and
energy to every legitimate effort to stem the
food that threatens to engulph US.
Remember O ye denizens of the North and
the West, ere it be too late, that it is not the
South alone that will suffer should the
heresies of radicalism prevail. The plough>
share of ruin will also be driven through
your fairest fields. Can you destroy the foot
and not lessen the pleasures and benefits Of
the hand?
Awake from your lethargic sleep, patriot
sons Of the sireS of '76-from Maine to Tex
as, and
''Look up, behold the deep and sulle gloom
That lowers DER your noble land with thunders
in its womb"
Terrible differences are sprung, from which
there is no escape, save in the establishment
Of a government founded upon just and
equitable principles. We cannot now afford
to be inanites or moral weaklings. The
hour is at hand when the government of cur
fathers must be redeemed, aud its heroic viz
tues and comprehensive policy maintained
or we must prepare ourselves to witness its
short yet splendid career of martial and civic
glories expire amid carnival of woes that
only Hades itself could afford parallel.

Burnt District Randolph Shot.

B. F. Randolph, preacher ard repre-
sentative Of Orangeburg District, while
standing on the platform Of the cars a
Hodges Depot, near Cokesbury, in Ab
beville District, was fired upon by three
unknown men and instantly killed, or
Friday afternoon last. Randolph was on
his way up toward Greenville, on an
e.cctioneering tour, and had made him
selfparticularly offensive both in speech
at Abbeville, and while on the train.
We are credibly Informed chat he used
insulting language to distinguished
citizen, on the cars, and shaking his fist
at him said, just such men as you have
brought the country to this condition,
and until you are disposed of We will
have no peace. The body of this persis.
tent advocate of social equality was taken
to Columbia, for shipment to Charleston.
The same day, or rather the night of the
same day, We learn, that Hoge, Judge,
so-called, who vas on the same business,
fearing like visitation, left the interior
some twenty miles from the railroad, and
walked the whole distance, .carpet-bag
in hand, to take the train below, and get
out of reach of danger. On taking
the cars he secreted himself in the
mail coach, and arrived safe below we
suppose, as nothing more has been heard
from him.

An Alteration and Shooting.

Below we give tine particulars, embra.
cling all the reliable facts, of an alterca.
ton, which occurred in this town on
Saturday afternoon last, and which from
its commencement till Monday morning,
our present writing, resulted in the Sc:
rious wounding of a peaceable and unof
Tending citizen, Mr.. Daniel Ward, by a
party of ambusbed leaguers; the after
arrest of two of the ambushers, and the
subsequent shooting of Lee Nance, col.
ored, a prominent and violent leader Of
the league. by two men, non. residents Of
the town. In common with our citizens,
who are law abiding, and strenuously
combating against the teachings of rad.
ical leaders, which tend altogether to
violence and lawlessness, we deprecate
this unfortunate condition of affairs.
The following are the particulars as
far as have come to our acknowledge
On Saturday last some words took place
between a white citizen from the coun-
try, and Sam Dogan, eolored, q promi-
nent member of the league, in which Do.
gan drew pistol and presented it at the
head of the other. Although there was
some excitement during the remainder
of the afternoon, further difficulty was
stopped by the interference of our citi.
zens, and by night all was quiet. At
ten o'clock, however, or thereabouts, as
the young man above mentioned in com,
pany with couple Of friends, were re-
turning to their homes, they were am
bushed and fired upon by, it is supposed
some twenty or twenty-five persons, and
one of them seriously wounded. OnSun.
day afidavits were made which were
conclusive that Dogan was one Of the am
bushers, and he and another negro were
arrested and lodged in Jail. Affidavit
was further made by a citizen keeping
store near by the building occupied by
Lee Nance, colored, leader of the League,
that the said Nance was seen to leave his
house after dark in company with num-
Der Of negroes, some of whom were
armed with muskets, and who went in
the direction where the shooting occurred.
1t was clearly evident that Lee Nance
led the party who did the shooting. He
was not arrested however. On Monday
morning about seven o'clock, two white
men rode into town and in front of his
house shot Lee Nance, mortally wound
ing him, and then rode of: These are
the main facts in the case.
Efforts were Immediately made by the
Sheriff to arrest the parties who siot
Nance.
1t may be mentioned that on its being
known that Dogan would be arrested,
the negroes swarmed the main street in
large numbers, on Sunday afternoon
much excited, and some of them very
Violent and that Dogan said he would
not be taken, but fortunately for them
no resistance was made, when the Offend
er and his accomplice were safely lodged
in jill,
Since the above was written, the She
riff and guard Of soldiers which accom-
panied him, returned after an unsuccess-
full search. Two other citizens were
arrested, however, on suspicion, and
placed in custody. What the charges,
we have not ascertaincd. Lee Nance
died from the effect Of the wound on
Tuesday morning about O'Clock.
