The Way to Work and Win.

From the Laurens Herald
But "That can we do?" This is the ques-
tion that meets US from every quarter, when
we insist upon eXertion. We answer, let
every man go to work. Let every man recog-
nizs the fact that upon individual effort hangs
the victory. We do not propose at this time
to organize Democratic clubs. A great work
Is to be accomplished antecedent to this. We
only propose to manipulate the material, and
have 1t ready tor organization when the proper
time coEes and this must be done at home.
We must commence with the negro voter In
our employ, andl as far as possible secure
his confidence. We must assure him his
rights, as secured by the law Of the land,
shall in no manner be disturbed. That all
laws shall be as binding upon the white as
upon the negro man. That there shall be no
partial legislation. That his rights 10 educa.
tlon-his rights In our courts Of justice-his
civil and political rights shall be maintained.
We must be earnest and honest in the effort,
and, when we have convinced him, OF these
the individual. It must be carried on day
by day, at our homes and on our farms. In
this way only can we hope to succeed. 1t is
sheer nonsense to suppose that this work can
be accomplished just before the elections by
one or two grand mass meetings and O few
oratlons made up OF strong assertions, broad
promises and laundering adjectlyes. This Is
all very well as far as 1t goes, but 1t don't
60 far enough. If We wish to disabuse his
mind Of the poisonous teachings Of corrupt
scalawags and plundering carpet-baggers, we
must, as we said, talk over the political situa.
ton with him at home and on our farms. It is
here that the work must be done. We must
remove a little OF his dlstrust to-day, and lit
tie tomorrow, and 80 on to the end. We can
never accomplish this by political harangues,
for his mind is incapable Of comprehending
abstract truths and general propositions. We
must come down TO the level OF his under
standing. Facts and arguments must be pre-
sented to him, personally, in aplain, conver-
satlonal manner. Let this individual effort
begin without delay. Let us show to the
world that we merit success. and. by proper
exertion, command the respect of our oppo.
nents, and afford 10 our friends the hope of
final triumph.

NEGRO KU-KLUX DRIYEN OFF BY Il
YOUNG LADT.
Attack On the House OF Mr.. Gossett, of
EUnion-The Shots Fired-To the Rescue
The Villains Flee-Efects of the
Visit of the Ku-Klu1 Committee.

From the Onion Times.l
most d;abolical outrage was committed on
Saturday night last, by i've unknown persons,
at the house Of Mr. James H. Gossett, one OF
our most valued and amiable citizens.
1t appears the parties stole noiselessly up to
the house and fred one shot through the win
dow In the direction of Mr.. Gossett'5 bed,
where he was lying, the ball striking about
six inches directly over Mrs. G.'s head. They
then fired through the corner OF the house, In
the direction of the bed on which Miss Fernan-
dis was sleeping, the charge striking about a
diately jumped out of bed, obtained pistol,
threw open the door, and seeing one of the
assaulting party running, gave chase around
the house, fired at him, but, it is feared, with
out effect
On examining the premises 1t was discover
ed that there were five in the party; one on a
mule, one on horseback and three on foot
One foot track was undoubtedly that of o
negro, barefoot9d, and measured eleven
inches; another track was about The size of an
ordinary number seven boot.
The reason for such an attack upon Mr.. Co.'S
sett Is involved In great mystery. He Is one
of the most peaceable. honorable and pure
Christian gentlemen in the land, and has never
had the least difficulty with any one, nor does
he entertain the slightest anlmosity towards
any man. He is. however, an uDfinching
Democrat. but modest and courteous in eX-
pressing his political opinions, and never in
trudes those opinions upon any one unneces-
sarily. In fact, he is rood citizen and kind
neighbor In every respe
The cool bravery exhibited By Miss Fernan-
dis Is worthy of imitation by all our ladies,
particularly in these dangerous times.
We sincerely hope the scoundrels will be
caught and the law strictly enforced against
them. These negro assaults arr becoming
frequent, and it behooves our citizens 10 keep
strict watch on their premises and prepare
themselves against such scoundrels. We see
many signs Of insubordination since the visit
OF the ku.klux committee and Buttermilk
Wallace to this section. We are informed that
the negroes have been promised that martial
law would be declared In short time Ii there
were any more outrages from either party
which means II the white people are quiet and
orderly the negroes themselves can bring it
about By committing outrages upon peaceable
citizens. We can all imagine upon whom the
hardships of political martial law will fall, III In

Progress OF the scheme-Time OF
Drawing.

The following satisfactory letter from Mr..
J. G. Derby, the general manager of the Aiken
Premium Land Sale, is printed in the last
issue of the Edgefsld Advertiser:
AUGUSTA, Ca, August IL, 1871.
To the Editor Of the Edgefeld Advertiser:
DEAR SIR-A friend has called my attention
to an editorial In your issue OF the 10th In.
stant, with the heading "Getting Anxious" )"
the burden OF which is the complaint of one OF
your good citizens. that he had invested five
dollars in the s.Aiken Premium Land Sale"
which was to have been distributed last win
ter to the shareholders, and further, Il quote)
s.Mr. D. Is selling Ill the fruit from the magni-
fcent Derby Farm and pocketing the pro-
ceeds, &C., &c.'' Now, In reply, l beg 10 state
that no one can possibly be more anxious than
myself to have the drawing take place. The
fault lies with the public, more than myself,
that the distribution Of the prizes has not taken
place long ago. None of the reasonable share
holders-and they represent every State In the
Union-would advise drawing with less than
one. half Of the shares sold. There are several
reasons, which to any rejecting person, are
patent enough, aside from the extremely de-
pressed state Of business throughout the coun-
try, which have delayed the drawing; among
Others, the political situation of the State, and
the unjust and false reports OF "Ku-KluX"-
which, for partisan purposes, are spread broad
cast throughout the North and West. Aud
then, again, other schemes of similar nature,
and on larger scale, springing up soon after
my modest enterprise was made public, has
served to divert attention. to say the least.
The "Aiken Premium Land sale" was lnau-
| gurated with the purest motives, and for the
purpose OF inducing actual settlers to locate in
the vicinity OF that town, so famous for its
! healthy surroundings and Incompatible cli-
mate.
The drawing Is now positively set for No.

Every one knows that tobacco was first
brought into repute in England by Sir Walter
Raleigh. At first he smoked in private, not
wishing it to become common; but sitting one
day absorbed in meditation, with pipe In his
mouth, he called to his servant TO bring him a
mug of beer. The fellow, as soon as he enter
ed the room, was seized with terror. threw the
contents of the mug into Sir Walters face, and
running down stairs bawled out. "Fire fire

Is on fire, and the smoke is bursting out OF bis
