Mr.. EDITOR: desire through your valu-
able paper to say few words to the good
people of Williamson and Brushy Creek
Townships in regard to the Trial Justice
system. The Constitution of the State of
South Carolina provides for the election of
Justice of the Peace, but our Legislature has
substituted Trial Justice instead, and en-
powered the Governor to appoint the same.
We, the people of the two townships, are
destitute of a Trial Justice, and are subjected
to the trouble and annoyance of travelling
from fifteen to twenty miles to transact any
business This state of affairs has been
brought about by some means, but should
not continue. We have been ignored by
our representatives at the proper time, and
since the proper time petition after petition
have went up for different aspirants, and
Democratic Clubs have elected and recon-
mended man, and yet we have none.
Governor Hampton in his speeches said he
would be the Governor of the whole people
without regard to politics. Hence, he could
not make the appointment of one party to
the detriment of the other Too many as
pirants for the Office belong to cliques, and
their petitions should beignored. Wewant
good man, and as conveniently situated as
may be- and as our Representatives have
up to this time ignored our section, and we
been put to great inconvenience by their
neglect, we ask them now to keep silent and
let US work out our own salvation and if
we are to be fenced off separate and apart,
we think, by proper action, we can carry
out in part the spirit of the Constitution,
and elect Trial Justice and Constable that
will suit the people, and that will not be in
fuenced by cliques or corporations, and one
that our beloved Hampton will commission.
therefore suggest that the voters OF the
two townships, without regard to party pol
itics, race or color, meet at John G. Smiths
on Saturday, the 18th day of October next,
to elect and recommend suitable man for
Trial Justice and Constable, and every man
in the two townships come out and vote for
their choice. Let the various candidates de-
clare themselves in the meantime, and the
majority man be recommended for the ap-
pointment, and others gracefully decline,
and we may safely count on Democratic
victory.
JUSTICE.

SANDY SPRINGS,

The exercises of Sandy Springs Academy
were resumed last Monday, the oath inst.
They will continue the term of two months,
at the expiration Of which they will close.
Our camp-meeting with its enjoyments, ex-
citements, enthusiasts, and with all the
moral bearings which it has produced upon
the neighborhood and surrounding country,
are passed and gone, and the people have
again put on their former natural garb,
They are now diligently pursuing those du-
ties necessary for the sustenance of this life,
such as fodder-stripping, cotton picking and
potato digging. Our farmers have finished
stripping and curing their fodder, and are
now busily engaged picking cotton, the
fields of which are white. If the weather
continues pretty two weeks longer, the cot
ton will all be open and the greater portion
housed. Mr.. Augustus Sitton, the Presi-
dent of the Factory, is earnestly engaged in
preparing it to commence work. The dam
and race are undergoing repair, and will, in
few days, be completed. The President is
making every effort to finish the work
necessary about the Factory, so that he may
be able to commence running it in the
course of two or three weeks. The people
are much pleased with the selection made
by the bond-holders in securing the services
of Mr.. SittoI as President. They say he is
man in whom they can confde; that he
will not leap in the dark, and therefore will
not hesitate moment in intrusting their
cotton in his hands. We believe one of
two things concerning the Factory, that it
will either ingloriously fail or will. COM
mence fairly on the road to prosperity and
wealth, before the Presidents term of office
expires. Mr.. NJ. G. Smith, man of un-
usual powers of energy and generosity, has
been employed to take charge Of the gin,
which has been thoroughly repaired and
every thing in readiness for ginning.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has

its wonderful qualities be known to their

No person can use it without Immediate

An oriental traveller describes this busy
scene, witnessed on historic shores !:
sour steamer landed on beach which
was the port at Antioch, where the disci-
pies were first called Christians. There
was no town at the waters edge, no peo-
Pile, no wharf. The passengers and the
merchandise were put ashore in lighters,
which ran up into the sand. A troop of
camels, with their drivers, lay on the
beach, ready to transfer the goods into
the interior. Among the articles landed
were boxes marked 'DR. J. G. AVER &
Co., LOWELL, MASS, U. s. Az show,
ing that they contained medicines and
whence they came. These with other
goods were hoisted on the backs of cam
els, for transportation to Antioch. Thus
the skill of the West sends back its rem
edies to heal the maladies of populations
that inhabit those eastern shores, whence
our spiritual mama came."- Windsor

The Cincinnati Commercial, chief champion
az the dollar of our fathers, finds very good
argument against the New York Bulletin, in
the B,,lletia.' s own finance article The Bale
rms article is as follows 'The following
were to-day's quotations in geld for coin and
bullion. American trade dollars 971a; Ameri-
can silver (half and quarter dollars) s6A;
American silver dimes and half dimes) e6a

ING q gold value of 81 cents
Here is indeed singular showing. Two
silver half dollars are worth s6ss44 cents, and
vat silver dollar is worth only 90 cents. The
silver dollar of 4l21a grains is per cent
heavier In silver and the trade dollar is per
cent heavier in silver than our subsidiary
f,ins. such as half and quarter dollars. Yet
tbe latter command So cents more in the
market because they are money. Accord
inr ia the Bulletin, there Is difference OF
only u of a cent between silver half
dollars and greenbacks, and as the silver dol
lar contains at least per cent more silver
fhan the half dollar, it ought TO command
an even higher value than greenbacks. Ina'

OUR ANNIVERSARY.

with this issue begins the third volume Of
the DEMOCRAT. During the last two years
the paper. linked In Its fortunes with those Of
the people, has undergone all the vieissitudes
of fortune. The able and chivalrous gentle
man, Col. Tyler, who first conducted It's col
umns, and one OF Its business managers, Mr..
VIM. Woelpef. have passed away forever from
the scene of their earthly labors. OF all the
public spirited gentlemen who contributed to
It's establishment, but one is now In any way
connected with IT, Much money was sunk In
Its establishment. aud 80 desperate were It's
fortunes at one time that for week 1t sus-
pended publication. It owes It's existence and
prosperity to-day, not to capitalists but to
the people Of New Orleans and Louisiana
Never was any public journal SO clearly the
birth of the popular heart It owes It's ex-
stence, Its growth and present prosperity to
the Democratic sentiment Of louisiana and
from the day of its first issue to the present,
1t has never been rectpant to that sentiment
Ii has been the pride of the conductors Of
the DEMOCRAT under all circumstances
through all yicissitudes and In every emer-
gency, to support the cause Of the people and
of the Democratic party.
The DEMOCRAT is now read in nearly every
household In this State, and 1t is gradually
finding its way into Democratic circles In
Texas Arkansas and Mississippi. Everywhere
1t Is regarded as the representative of the
interests Of the people Of Louisiana and Of the
Democracy of the South, and we are proud to
say that II has never dishonoied itself by the
advocacy of any ring. monopoly or faction.
The policy which the DEMOCRAT has so far
pursued, IL will follow In the future. There
are great and radical reforms In our political
and governmental system demanded by the
public interest and to the accomplishment OF
those reforms 1T will devote all Its energies
during the coming session of the Legislature
and in the canvass Of the fall of 1878.
The DEMOCRAT from feeble and uncertain
business enterprise, unknown and without
capital, has developed into great and pros
porous newspaper. 1t numbers Its readers
by thousands and Its power and influence Is
felt and recognized everywhere. few
months ago II could scarcely hire press on
which to be printed or a reporter TO gather
the news for its columns. Now 1t owns and
runs four steam presses; Its reporters are In
every part Of the city, and its correspondents
are In half dozen States. Thanking the
public for the generous patronage which has
made 1t what 1t is the DEMOCRAT recognizes
that 1t owes its success to the simple fact that
1t has been the honest and fearless friend Of
the people of Louisiana.

The Texas rangers at Ell Paso are threat
ened with another Alamo. They are sur
rounded. az the heroes of the Texas war OF
independence were at San Antonio nearly half
d century ago, by a bowling mob of Mexican
ruffians. shouting for the head of Judge
Howard. 1t IL hardly probable that the ran
gers will give up Howard to the tender mer-
cies of the Mexicans or that they can hold
out until achievements arrive.
A rehearsal of the horrors of the Alamo is
more than possible. The Texas rangers are
men not likely to yield until the last load OF
ammunition is gone; thehowling mob around
them are Mexicans, the same blcodthirsty
(areasers who massacred the garrison OF San
Antonio in 1886.
Those Who remember that massacre will
remember the spirit of revenge 1t aroused
and how we'll the Texans answered 1T with
San Jacinto. Any outrage by the Mexicans
ON the borders to-day will create an even
more intense feeling, utterly quench that
sielxly sentimentalism that some of the North
ern papers pretend to feel, and convince the
whole country Of the absolute necessity OF
controlling more effectually ''our sister re-
public.n so-called.
