A sergeant of artillery at Fort Hamilton N. Y,
died in convulsions the other day. He was in the

POLITICAL PRESCRIPTION.

Abbevllle County is one of the richest in the
generally oil better class than those of other
counties outside Of Charleston and Richlsnd'
Many of them are wel-of farmers, and have
hitherto enjoyed comparative freedom from bull
doing. The county is naturally Republican by
800 majority, although at the late election the
vote was very close, owing to Democratic terror
ism and repeating. Since Hampton has been in
stalled as Governor, all the leading white Repub-
Leans have been notified to leave the county on
or before Dec. l, 1877, on pain of death. At d
public meeting called to indorse Gen. MCGOWAN
for Chief Justice, severa speakers urged that tho.
present should be a committee to rid the commu.
nifty of white radicals.
The Press and Banner, and the Medium both
published at the Courthouse town, are united in
demanding the expulsion OF white Radicals. The
Press and Banner Of May 80, on this subject says {:
GAS long as a white man is allowed to stir up
strife there will be contention and dissatisfaction.
Whenever they retire their pretensons, we will
nave peace. Will they do SO peaceably or do they
intend to force violence Violence is sure to fol
low whenever they malign the whites and attempt
to ALLEVIATE the negroes from US. Whenever a
head OF this sort shows itself it will be only
vice to ones country TO cut It off Since the death
OF 10 Crews in Laurens there has been no trouble
in that county, and there would be none here
either, if II were not for few iomenters OF strife
and il they do not desist hereafter they will be
dealt severely with"
The 10 Crews alluded to was assassnated about
a year ago. The illusion is significant.

Oh cap Dry Goods.

Ingersoll & Co. of st. Paul. one OF
the Oldest and wealthiest firms III the
State, still continue to do an immense
business IN dry goods. Their policy
is to buy for cash in New York
Boston. Philadelphia and the other
great markets of the east, taking
!; dvantage of the depressed condition
o, the market, and sell for cash to
the IL customers in Minnesota. In
this way they are able to place dry
good s within reach of the people OF
this S tate at very small percentage
higher price than similar goods could
he hon, -ht for in the east.
And they supplement- this great
adyantac by an '.order bushes"
which bril- 1gs the cheap goods within
the reach O the farmers of the State,
and of those living upon the remote
frontier. Tn is system is as follows:

mares the fabric and the price with the
Goods in his local stores, and If he
finds. as we think he will, that the
goods offered by Messrs. Ingerson &

encloses the sample which he selects,
with money postal order or certified

express or in a registered letter. for
the amount of the proposed purchase.
If he does not receive goods to cor
respond with the samples sent. Mes $

try the experiment. Take postal
