The Fourth District.

That Wallace will be defeated by
COL Evins on tho 7th Of November
Is as certain rs that tho sun will
rlso. A moderate effort, far less
than that which will be made, is
sufficient to hurl him from the posi.
ton i'll which he has sat for eight
years, moro fgure-hcad. No
thorough canvass Of the Congress-
lonal district has been made since
1868, and in that year Wallace was
dofoatod by Col. Simpson by u
majority of o>er 1000 votes. In
1870 and in 1879 the apathy of the
Democrats permitted Wallace to
retain the scat he had at first
nsnrpod. In 1874, Con. Korshow
made.a gallant tight, but the apathy
OF tho whites OF one or two counties
and the wholesalc frauds of tho
Nadlcals in all gave the position to
Wallace by 1907 votes.
But tho handwriting is on tho
wall, tho ond has como, tho political
days Of Wallace are numbercd
Ihe canvass now pending is such
. as has mover before boen witnessed
IN South Carolina. Tho Democrats
are aroused to tho highest pitch of
enthusiasm and arc aidod by tho two
Judges Of tho circuits conpos;ng
this district, and by NIL tho most
decent Republicans in it. ATonv
colored voters arc ardent Democrats.
Many moro arc utterly disgusted
with politics, and while the Demo-
cratic vote will be greatly increased
the Radical loss will be correspond
ingly heavy.

OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

The Radical party of South Caro-

utter corruption and it's iucapacity
to bring about good government in

1act that his crimes and those of his

constant abuse from tho whole

seeing that tho people aro woll in

Food, Work and Sleep

The things that man needs most
in this world are food, work and sleep
lie dOsen't need riches, honurs, or
Office to live lie needs society, be-
cause he was made for it. He must
love and be loved; his life and hap~
piness are promoted by companions
ship; mutual dependence and counsel
enlarge hope and stimulate courge.
Yet after all he lives it his friends die.
There is no form Of bereavement, but
has its consolatiop. The best preser
yer of life il con'entment. Nor is
work deotrLc i've of strength. Then
look forward to rest, to life OF case
which to them means cessation from
the res ct business. They mistake
he caase IF wearneSS. Ii is not work
it is care, it is over eXertinn, It is
ambition and desire after gain that
bring worn and weary feelings. All
we u sscss, we POSSESS IN life. The
sooner we get through life, he sooner
we rcli qnish our possessions. The
faster a,man lives the quicker he
reaches the end Of life. There are
three ends to lite, and death is the
last and least desirable OF them. One
end ID to lite. That is why we arc
created.-to live as long and as well
as we can. Some go murmuring and
gruaning on their way. as though lille
was burden, and that it is piety to
put II low e>timaFe upon it. TIE op.
posite Ia true. A man should seek
TO live out all his days, and he can
Dot accomplish it in d better way
than by using every means to pro-
moe life. Among these means three
things are mentioned at the head Ut
this article. When a man denies
himself sleep, food, and the exercise
work, gives brain and body work,
he roOS his life OF lts full term. Let
him be cheerful also. lie is like an
engine-it will run well and long if
1t is well OILED. Conten!mcnt and
checrnlnes3 are the oil that keeps
the nerves from wearing out. Busy
men and women think that time tax

is time lost. 1t is really like the ceo

keep out the weather and preserve

General Conner apologized for
having to quote law which should be

real question here is, as to whether

some ground for argument, but they
