Some local elections occurred in Sc
South Carolina last week. The town of 80
Abbeville elected a democratic council by OF
one hundred majority, seventy five col IL
ored men voting in broad daylight the in
straight democratic ticket. At Kingstree, tn
where 4 democratic ticket had not been tn
run since 1868. the democracy won by al
g the aid of the negro vote. At other pla-
ces the democracy made large gains. Il.
n There is reason to believe that thousands oil
of the colored voters in South Carolina
will go for Tilden in November.
h When the Turkish army entered Ser al a
S via, it destroyed all the villages in the ~
conquered territory as fast as it came to l
them. 1t would be very glad now to
have those villages in its rear as shell W
tiers and as depots of supplies. but it has in
v inflicted serious damages upon itself TO
by its excess of cruelty. The rainy sea-
e son will not prevent active operations,
and the Turks, unable to procure pro- ~
d visions, must retire from Servia. III
