DtuF OUT ucIt - uO ufS-
gnising the fact that the nomi-
nations, recently made by the
Democratic party of this State,
have failed to give satisfaction
TO the masses Of the people
The ticket is not considered a
strong one. Under this state
of things, and with the conflict
ing political elements now at
work, it requires no prophet to
predict what must be the in
evitable result.
How, then, can these differ
ences be harmonized, and the
redemption of the State Sc
cured at the ensuing election
We know of but one way: and
that is, for these different par
ties, with no independent
strength, to come together in a
patriotic spirit of concession,
and put forward a State ticket
with such a. man as Col. John
Nj. Sandidge at the head of it
Such a ticket would inspire
confidence and enthusiasm il
the intelligent masses of ON
people. To the great body OF
our rejecting, sober-thinking
citizens, mans Jealty to any
political organization in the
past alone, does not recon-
mend him as u suitable andavai
able candidate at this time
when party ties are considered
in a great measure dissolved
The people want not only hon
. est and capable but drdilaM
men, whose personal weigh
and influence would iLspir,
them with a hope of success.

We are tired and disguised

praise. This thing is not re-
quired by the Grand Jury oath,
and were we Judge we would
line for contempt every moth

found approving such a pre-
sentiment. No one, no not
even an officer of Court, is en-.
titled to praise for doing his
duty. He is hired to do that

many officers fail to do thei1
duty, nevertheless, Grand Ju
ries, praise them just the same
Their praise is just no prais,

nivcrsary OF Excelsior Lodge of that place. The
meeting was held i'll Columbia School House,

will long be remembered. The opening ode
was sung, after which Mr. I. G. O'Neal offered
prayer Prot. Messcr, of Washington, D. g.,
presided at the organ. and treated the audience
with song, and followed with few remarks.
Mr. l. ID. Harrison, after repeated calls, sang

himself and the delegation. MIR. 7. Howe
Peyton then followed In an address He spoke
ofiDtemperance as a disease, showing the bane-
full effects following the use of Intoxicating
liquors. He proposed remedy which, if
strictly followed, would, no doubt, be of benefit
not only to those who are incorporate but to
those who profess temperance. Mr.. j. E. Will
liams then followed in short speech, giving
his experience before and after having become
a member OF the order. His resolutions in re-
gard to disseminating the use of intoxicating
liquor were very amusing, and any one who Is
acquainted with the different ways of topping
OFF, would certainly concur with him that the
only way to stop is without compromise; no
half way measures, but to discontinue at once
aud altogether. Mr.. l. D. Harrison was loud

ton of several he at last consented to make a

changed to the deepest seriousness. Prof. Mes
