PRoTEsTs.-We learn that w. H,
Heard protests against the seating OF
L. l.. Moore in the Legislature AMI
claims that he is entitled to the
seat because his friends at Cal.
houn's Mills failed to vote fol
him. We learn also that Lewis
Clay protests against G. nj. Mat
tison being sworn in to office as
County Commissioner for the same
reason. We learn that the other de-
feated candidates have submitted to
the decision of the County Board Can
vassers and don't propose kicking up
any dust at all. Our own opinion is,
that Heard and Clay will have a live
ly time getting the offices to which
other men were elected. MIR. w.
S. Richardson, Of Ninety Six, also
protests against the c~anvassers inclu-
ding in their calculations the votes
cast at that box, on account Of irreg-
ularities and incompetent manage
ment of the election.
FIVE CIRCUIT SoLlcIToRs.-Besides
their State offices and the Congress-
men. the Democrats certainly elect
five ofthe eight Circuit Solicitors. viz:
Fourth Circuit. w. w. Sellers; Fifth
Circuit, John r. Abuey; Sixth Cir
cult, r. G.. CASTOR; Seventh Circuit,
B. w. Ball: Eighth Circuit, JAS. S.
Cothran. This is a most important
gain, for no office in South Carolina
has been more abused than that of Cir
cult Solicitor.
SCoUNDRELs.-We warn III readers
against humbug advertisements pro-
posing to give valuable information for
q stamp or two. They are frauds.
Sometimes you will see the advertise
ment of q meek-eyed scoundrel pro-
posing to cure incurable diseases for
the smallest amount Only enough to
nav postage on the answer. These
things are all cheats, but some people
never rest satisfied until they are
cheated or poisoned.
Mr.. BROOKS Common, of C%okeshury,
is now boarding at Mr.. Chalmers, and
taking lessons in tooth-drawlng mt
tooth-repairing under the skillful di-
rection Of DR.. II. D.. Wilson. who
has learned to make tooth-pulling a
pleasant business-to the operator.
We wish Mr.. Conner much success in
his new calling.
READER, do you have nightmare
dreams? If so, it's our ghost sitting
heavy on you because ut" does not
stand opposite your name on the Press
and Banner. The mar who pays his
subscription in advance lies down to
pleasant dreams.
MURDER.-Mr. John Burt Riley
was killed near Greenwood, day
last week. Bluford Jones, Mack
Jones, Mary Jones and Barbary Jones.
have been arrested aud lodged in Jail
on suspicion Of being the authors OF
the crime.
THE editor of the LuurersviMc Her.
aid feels so good that he issued only
half sheet last week. The editor OF
the Union Times did the same thing
because his printing paper did not
arrive i'm time. Friend Stokes seemed
to be hot.
THE will of Frederick Schmidt was
establish in the Court of Probate be-
fore Judge Milford or the I'd, instant
and letters testamentary were granted

about 80 years. He was taken i'll on

the bereaved.
Mr. w. H. TAGGART'S name was
put on the Radical ticket in nomina'
ton for County Commissioner, buI
that didn't keep his children from
hurrahing for Hampton on the day o.
election.
THE whole Radical crew were sorely
disappointed at the result of the cleo.
ton. All of that delectablc list of hun.
cry omce-seekers confidently expected
to be elected.
WHEN you come to town we will be
glad to see you in u office forkine
over that little two dollars for the
Press and Banner. You know it is 6
good paperand ought to be paid for.
CHAMBERLAIN got not exceeding
q dozen whites votes in this County, anC
it Is thought that some of that num-
Der voted for him because of a hope o.
reward, or through fear.
some funny mistakes occurred during
the excitement Of the election. ON
strong Radical of the female persua
sion got so excited that she through
mistake hurrahed for Hampton.

ker & PERKINS, store, where WI will b.
