The Radical County Convention.

This body convened in the Court House on
Saturday last, in accordance with the call is
sued by the County Chairman. Every town.
ship was represented, we are informed Under
the call, it was expected that the Convention
would nominate candidates for all the Offices
but this expectation was disappointed Tor re;',
sons only known to the leaders of the hadlcal
party in this county Much dissatisfaction was
created by the action of these leaders, who
managed affairs in their own way, and preven-
ted the delegates from carrying out the objects
of the Convention. The only nomination made
were the following: VIM. Spencer Moore for
Coroner; Wm. H. Haynie, (the Reform can
didate,) for School Commissioner; Napoleon
B. Gaillard, (colored,) for County Commission
er, and Henry Kennedy, (colored,) for the
House of Representatives. AS there will be
one general ticket at the coming election, upon
which will be placed the names of all the per-
sons voted for, thissingular action ofthc Conven-
ton indicates that the remaining nominations
are to be made in secret and the opponents OF
the Radical party should be on the alert to dis
cover the tricksry by which they hope to sue
ceed in defeating the Reform party.

Mr.. EDITOR: Although had determined to
relnquish my claims as q candidate for School
Commissioner, in compliance with the Conven
ton, must confess that l am and have been at
the service of the people. OF course am will
ing to accept the Office if it be the pleasure of
the people to confer it upon me; and under cx-
isting circumstances l. can imagine no better
course than to leave the matter to the decision
of ballot, as in former days. Inasmuch, then,
as l see from your columns that have been re-
placed, shall most assuredly accept that nom
inaton, independent of party influences, Eand
thus submit the matter to fair and square de-
cision of ballot. Being the first time in my
life that have submitted my claims for pat
ronagc before the people, I can conceive Of no
other course more consistent for me, or more
compatible with the general customs andwishcs
of the whole people. Willing to trust tho
wisdom of the voters in making their selections,
am, very respectfully,

Gy- In inviting attention to the card of
Mcssrs. Cushings g. Bailey, Booksellers and
Stationcrs of Baltimore, we would note cspc-
cially two considerations: the increased impor-
tancc of Baltimore as market, and the large
facilities of this particular house. The trade
of Baltimore with the South has increased more
in proportion since the war than that of any
other city, and the claim of its merchants and
manufacturers that they can sell goods cheaper
than they can be bought elsewhere finds now
substantial proof in the large orders they are
constantly receiving from every portion of the
South. The house of Cushings q Bailey was
established in 1911, and it has been a charac-
teristic feature of their manner of trading that
they have invariably given the buyer who or
ders his wares by mail the same superior ad-
vantagcs he could have secured in person.
Employing large capital in their business
they combine the utmost enterprise with the
most elevated integrity. For further particu-
lars we refer to their advertisement.

The BLACK Code.

The Kingstree Star disposcs, in very sum-
mary way, of the charge that General NJ. G.
Butler advocatedi the passage of the "Black
Code" as it is called by the Radicals. 1t says
that Gen. Butler, the Reform candidate for
lieutenant Governor, voted mo" On the anal
reading of the bill. But Col. R. F. Graham,
of Marion, now full-hsdged Radical, voted
"Aye!" and Judge Orr, now in full afiliation
with the Radical party, approved the law with
out hesitation. 1t has already been observed
that the Radical speakers, who were very pro-
fuse in. their charges against Butler at the out
set for his is-al1eged endorsement of the "Black
Code" no longer make use of this falsehood
publicly, as it has been exposed time and again.

The scene of that affair is near the Laurcns
boundary, and not far from Milton in this Dis
trct. The negroes throughout the entire neigh
borhood seem to have caught the riotous spirit,
and on Sunday and Monday large bodies ofne-
grocs, with arms, were moving towards the To-
calty of the trouble. AT Cross Hill on Sunday,
they assembled in large body and marched to
Little River, in military fashion, with arms.
At this point they halted; returned to Cross
Hill, and finding large number of white men
assembled, they disbanded.
On Sunday afternoon party of negroes,
numbering about thirty, passed along the high
way leading from Milton to Clinton, threaten
ing, as they passed, to kill q hundred men be-
fore morning, and other violent expressions.
Three or four gentlemen started towards Clin-
ton, late in the afternoon, TO inform the inhab-
itants of the approach of this party. They
were mounted and endcavored by different
road to get ahead of the party, but about one
mile from Clinton were halted by Il number of
armed negroes, and after Il short parlcy the ne
grocs commenced firing. These gentlemen re-
turned the fire, and the negroes took TO the
