Merit.

There is one thing worthy of note in
considering the migration question that is
now uppermost in the minds Of the peo.
pie of the vicinity, and that is, that the
country they are Sc lecting merits all that
Is represented respecting it. The pure air
and even temperature pla it in the up
per scale for health. The soil is unsur.
/ passed for grain and vegetable purposes
and the immense grass range that will be
open for years offers to the stock men
great inducements when taken into con-
sideration with the facilities and choice
of markets. Timber is the only real ON
mission that occasions inconvenience and
considerable expense. but in five years
time sufficient will be raised from culture
for fuel, and the rapid approach of Rail-
roads gradually reduces the price of lum.
ber.
For prairie ountry it is nowhere e1-
celled, nor is the farmer elsewhere more
largely rewarded for his labor. The ex-
perience Of those who have resided years
here bears US out in all we are asserting
and in more.
But aside from monied men (who of
course can make money any where with

the world owes him living without ef

Mrs. Jefferson Davis is described as
being at present very stout, very intelli-
gent, and very amiable-looking woman
Her face is round, she has a large and ex
pressive mouth, and black hair streaked
with gray. She is kind hearted, and is
said by correspondent Of the Times of
Chicago to be much liked in Memphis s
especially by the young people. Mr. d.
Wis is very thin, and looks very old and
broken. Their eldest daughter, a gentle
and graceful young woman, is married
and lives 10 Memphis. They have two
other children, one girl OF sixteen now
at school in Germany, whittier Mrs. Davis
took her last summer, and the other a
yorng man now in Memphis, Jefferson
Davis, Jr. He is about twenty-five years
of age. He has her large, not handsome
face. and is an awkward, loquaclous, good
natured sort of an overyrown boy. The
Davis family is comparatively poor now
and Mrs Dayis frequently alludes to "our
poverty" in jocular way.-1r. .l- ..
One of the horrible results Of the wal

that there is danger with the approach OF
of warm weather, that the $4,000 victims
of typhus imbedded in the snow and
mud near Erzeroum, will infect the coun

Our Noxt Governor.

"e'regret to see a disposition among certai :
wouid-be leaders of the democracy of the State
to prejudice the minds of the people against the
nomination Of Gov Hampton for reelection. 4
While We believe those efforts will prove futile

ic partRk ipspiring dissatisfaction and distrust

for Governor is imperatively demanded, to in
sure the success of the democratic party next
Fall, that without his name at the head of the
tieKet we should enter the campaign dispirited
by the conviction that the prestige and advanta-
ges of the campaign of 1876 had been literally
thrown away to crafty the ambition and preiu-
dices of a set of office seeking demagogues and
extremists.
We tell the people of South Carolina now,
that either Hampton and the entire democratic
ticket will be elected at the next election or n
whole batch of dcmagogues or Radical officials
will again get possession of tho State. We
must either unite again, as one man, and at the
next election secure permanently the benefits of
the victory of 1876, or we shall most assuredly
be DETECTED.

Strange Railroad and Meal Hours.

In the Charleston .Ncrs and Courier We find
advertised the "time table" of the Spartanburg
Union and Chester (?) Railroad. 1t is q strange
road to us, b 1t not more strange than the hours
appointed for passengers to take their meals
For instance, they Grrive at Tryon City at G.27
in the crcning and take bredkfast at Spartan
burg At ..l3 in the evening, for dinner, and at
Aston at 12.5O for supper. 1t will thus be seen
that by the arbitrary schedule of the otherwise
most accommodating Superintendent, passengers
by that route get through the world lack wards,
viz: they first take their supper, then dinner
and lastly they get their breakfast away up in
the Mountains, about nghtfal It may be sea-
sonahle hours for fashionable City people totakc
their meals, hut it don't suit the average back
woods folks, and we suggest that the meal part
OF the schedule be changed. At any rate, the
passengers should be permitted to eat one meal
at least before the middle of the day.

Primary Elections.

On our first page will be found plan sugges-
ted by the State Executive Committee Of the
democratic party, for the organizationo Of Demo-
cratic Clubs in every county.s We have no
doubt that as soon as the chairnaan ofsthe Coun-
" Executive Committee returns from Columbia,
necessary measures II be adopted. for thor;
ough and ssompls Organization of the party
throughout haEcou0 Ne, however, suggest
that steps be taken at once to organize democrat
ic Clubs in every township. In Abbevillle, An
aerson, Laurens, Greenville and many other
Counties the work has commenced, and in lpse
counties the people are becoming enthused With
patriotic determination to stand souarelv and
unwavering in the ranks of the democratic par
". Through it, in 1876, they achieved n glorious
victory over lnfamy, misrule and oppression,
such as no people ever were cursed with before.
and they will not desert it until the full fruits
Of that victory has been secured or it. leaders
prove false to the trust cammttcl TO them
1t Will be observed that tho State Executive
Committee recommends the adoption of primary
elections 10y ballot, for candidates for county
offices and members of the General Assembly.
In view of the fact that feeling of dissatis-
i"|'ioh WITH inc olu system OF nominations is
prevalent among the people, we believe the
adoption of Primary Elections will be found the
most just and.satisfactOry plaAl1bet can be de-
vised. by it before nnysncmiM5tion is made
every voter in the County will have an oppor-
tunty of casting his vote for the candidate of
his choice. His vote is carried into the County
nominating Convention, and there counted for his
candidate. If it is found that that candidate
has received the highest number of votes, after
counting the votes Of all the precincts, then he
must be declared the candidate of the party nj
the general election.
On the other hand, if that candidate proves
not to be the choice of majority of the people
of the County, at the Primary Elections, it is q
pretty sure indication that he would not be an
acceptable candidate under any system of nomi-
nation.
At the Primary election every man votes lust
to suit himself No party ticket is made up by
Convention, assembled at the County seat, for
him to vote for. On the contrary, every voter
at n Primary Election tells the convention. by
his VOTE what names he wishes to be put upon
the ticket to be voted for at the general election
Could any system be nirer?

whai we said could be plainly seen and heard
upon our streets the day our paper containing
that article appeared. 1t seemed to strikesa
vital spot in the political hopes and aspirations
of certain individuals, and vials of their wrath
were poured upon Us and our raitorous inform

who can feel and appreciate the vilany and op-
preston which cursed the State under the SC
cret oath-bound Union League organization, to
put their faces as hints against any similar po-
litical party organized or advocated by aspiring
bat anaithful democrats. The latter will prove
not whit better than the former.
