presence would not fail to do last
ing injury to the Democracy. Ihey
are dear at any price. Yet those
coIorcd men who have been truc
as steel, and who sustained their
Democratic principles at the risk of
their lives, should be honpred mem
bers of the party.
In order to preserve tho purity
Of the party, since the inauguration
of the primary system, when every
vote counts, it is Of paramount i'm
portance to scrutinize carefully
every person seeking membership.
The Democratic party is copart-
nership, a joint stock concern, with
Home Rule and Solf-Government rs
it's assets; and no new parties
should bo admitted whose integrity
and fidelity to the trust cannot be
depended on. A foolish desire to
Increase membership without regard
to other considerations, will wreck
the party irretrievably.
The qualifications for member
ship should bo thus fixed. Any
person who voted for Hampton in
1876, Or who would have voted had
lie been permitted by law, should
be made a member without ques~
tion. AL other applicants should
be subjected to rigid scrutiny. The
proof Of thorough conversion should
bo overwhelming to secure favorable
action
By adherence so these rules, all
danger will be nverted. a disrc.
gard Of them will lead to inevitable
breakers ahead

ONE OF THE CHIEF reasons urged
by many for the denomination Of
Governor Hampton-that the Radi-
calls will not oppose him-is, per
haps, the only plausible objection.
The Democrats can carry the State
in November, regardless of opposi
ton; while State fight is of great
Importance in securing the election
Of Legislative tickets. A State issue
eXcites enthusiasm and chokcs out
local issues, which might otherwise
be embarrassing.

HoEING WnEAr.-A few weeks ago
one of your correspondents asked
whether the wheat crop could be
improved by hoeing. Let me offer
my experience. 1 say offer, because
l. have found it difficult to get peo~
pie to accept unpaid-for expert
cncc. In this case experience is
asked for, and I hope T may bo the
means Of making two blades grow
where one only grew before. Some
years ago my sons (as now) had tho
working Of my farm (nuw farm for
improved sheep. They put III II
twenty-acro field OF wheat. I
wanted them to put it all in with
the drill, using only every other
tube. stopping up the others, but
they would only put in half an acre
this way. This made tho drills
fifteen inches apart, and one peek
Of seed per acre was sufficient In
March following, the ground being
dry enough, I passed through it
with an old fashioned shovel plough
that was wide enough to disturb the
whole width between tbs rows Of
whoat-half an hours work Tho
result was, this half~acre produced
fifteen bushels Of wheat, while tho
rest of the field produced only
twelve bushels per acre,-i'ructical

A Word to the Democracy.

cratic party has actively begun in
this county. Those clubs that have
not already aligned themselves
under the new constitution will be
brought in in short time, when Il
solid Democratic phalanx will DO
presented in Fairfield. This is a
matter Of sincere rejoicing. But
prudence is part of wisdom, and
steps should not DO taken pro-
cipitately.
We arc living in vastly differ
ent atmosphere now from thnt
which chilled tho blood and
enervated the system in 1876.
Democratic ozone has purified the
air. The baleful miasma of Radical
ism has besn annihilated~ The
body corporate is no longer infect
ed with disease. The State has
received a new lease Of life. But
imprudence may superinduco q rc-
lapse. The malady may 10 called
by new name, but will be, never
theless, the termination Of the old
seeds of the old poison now lying
dormant.
No one can fail TO noto tho con-
trast between the activity displayed
by the party now and it's listlcss-
ness two years ago. For long
time the Democracy of South Caro-
lima was but frame whose very
fragileness provoked sympathy and
oven ridiclue. For long time
subordinate clubs existed almost
entirely in name, while the first
county club in Fairfield was but Il
handful. But earnest hearts were
engaged in tho work, and from the
small leaven tho whole county was
agitatcd" BY November it had
aggregated together all good
citizens, and it's power was irresisti-
BILE. It shared largely in the good
work that was crowned with the
election Of Hampton and the re-
demption Of the State. Now that
the Democracy is not longer a
tigmont of the imagination, but an
actual, living, Irresistible foyce,
there are mono who dare oppose it
openly. Parties who sncored at it
in 1875, arc now placing themselves
and their fortunes under it's pro-
tecting mgis. Embarrassment will
arise now, not because nobody will
join it, but because everybody, even
old time vehement Radcals, will bo
anxious to enlist. Of course, all
Democrats will hail the full affilia-
tlon Of those good citizens who,
thoughnot actually joining the party
IN 1876, from what they beloved to
DO erroneous principles governing
some of its "details, yet laborcd
earnestly for Hampton and Homo
Rule. and performed no moan part
in the final struggle for victory.
All such arc to be gladly welcomed
into the ranks. Their influence
will be always exertod for tho good
OF tho State. But othor applica-
tlons for membership will bo made,
which should be seriously consider
cd before acceptance. These cons
PRISE almost exclusively quon0am
eolored Radicals who died meta-
PhoricalAy in tho last ditch. The
masses OF the colored people we're
stupid and are not 80 responsible.
But the bummers and strikers who
lived on mean whiskey and cigars
and were bought and sold by can
didates are not desirable confeder-
ates. They ran tho Radical MAJ
chine till it was smashed, and now
they want dump on the Demo-
cratic wagon 80 rs to ply their

At arccent m1ctins Of physicians

IL paper Of unusual interest. 1t was
an account OF Il visit he had paid to
one Miguel Soils, Il half brco / farm

Sierra Mcsilla. IAu remarkable
thing about Miguel is tina. ro gives

rather than less. Gray.hcadcd mon
told the Doctor that they remcm~
bercd Miguel as rcputel centon-
marian when they were boys also
that the name of Miguel Soils,
colored, farmer, appeared in list
preserved, Of the contributors 10 the
building fund Of a franciscan mon
astery near SAN Sebastian, which
was founded in 1712, and that the
present Abbot is positive it is the
same man. Tho Doctor found the
old fellow at work in his orchard
parchment-sliinned, robust, active,
iAo oiiSH "hltc HILL u" lSlcu IlID:ln
fashion aronnd his head, ana his
eyes SO bright that the Doctor felt
uncomfortable when they were
turned upon him. Questioned as
to his habits, Miguel told the Doctor
that the secret OF living Il century
OF two was very simplc--mcrcly
never getting drunk an never oye;-
feeding. Il eat only once day-a
big, hearty meal, which it ften TX IS
me half an hour to get through
with but, you see, it is not possible
in n half hour to cat moro than Won
can digest IN the next twenty four. u
He went on to say that he hadn't
made up his mindabout meat, but di !
not cat much of it he tasted on
the first and middle days of each
month, eating nothing, but drinking
all tho water he could swallow he
always let cooked food cool before
tasting it that was why his teeth
were as sound as $50 year" ago. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that all
the Indians of the n,iyhborhooI
firmly believe that old Miguel has

ZEN .<s vs.. Anderson.

A Washington correspondent says
that Mrs. jerks, who is now doing the
swearing for Sherman before the Potter
Committee, once held a place in the
Treasury Department. A good many
people who did not know her as Mrs.
jerks recognize her as a woman who
had been appointed to a clerkship in
that Department through the influence
of ex-Sena or West, of Louisiana. 1t
has come ont also that this woman at
tempted once to collect q claim against
the English Government through Sir
Edward Thornton, and falsely repre-
scented herself as a single woman. She
was found ont and her fraud exposed
by Mr.. Howard one of the Secretaries
of the Legation. 1t will now zoe seen
that the Democrats have as honorable
a witness in Anderson, as the Repnb-
licans have in "Mrs. jerks, of the
Horse Marine"
