To the Democrats of Union County.

At a meeting of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of South Carolina, held in Co.
lumbia on the eighth day of February, 1878,
resolution was adopted recommending the im-
mediate reorganization of the democratic party,
and that county conventions be called at an early
day to elect officers to serve for the next two
years. This resolution communicated to
me, rs County Chairman for Union, on tho
twelfth day of the same month but my official
duties in Columbia prevented me at the time
from taking action thereon Upon my return
home, called meeting of the Executive Com
mittcc for Monday last; but of tho six members,
only two attended, and therefore nothing could
be done. Another meeting Of our Committee
has been called for Monday, April Is, when, l
suppose, a quorum will attend, and proper ac-
ton taken.
In the meantime the people of any neighbor-
hood may meet together and form n democratic
club, and hold themselves in readiness for tho
orders of the Executive Committee. Clubs are
n matter of importance during this canvass,
as the County Conventions will be composed of
delegates from the clubs, under the orders Of tho
State Democratic Convention Of 1876.

Information Wanted

Mr.. EDIToR.-As n Tax Payer of this town
beg TO ask, through your Columns, if the report
now current OH the Streets is true, that the Town
Council has had douated to them by Mr.. James
Grant, the vacant lot ndjoining Mr.. Schoppauls
Store room, and that the Council has awarded
to Messrs. Grant & Tinsley (both members of
the Council) the contract for erecting Oh said lot
n building to consist of the following apart
men IS, viz : q Fire engine house, Council Cham
Der, n Guardhouse and Town Hall !; and if SO,
by whose request is said work being done, and
where is the money to come from to pay for il?
That there is in the minds of the majority of the
Council n pressing necessity for doing some
thing to enhance the value of their property in
the upper end of town, all will admit but, if
dame rumor is correct, it is of very doubtful
propriety to make the Tax Payers pay for it.
Let the Council explain it is due 10 their con-
stituens that their light be not hid under
buShcl. TAN PAYER.

Death of DR.. T ]. Goodwin,

With sincere sorrow we learn that this most ex-
cellent man died last Sunday, at his residence
near Fort Motto, from an attack of acute rheu
matism in the 18th year Of his age.
DR.. GooJwyn was well known throughout the
State, and there arc but few among us whose
death will cause more sincere regret. In speak
ing Of Dr. Goodwyn's death, the Columbia Reg
lister says:
He was elected Mayor Of this city in 1868,
and held that Office when the city was destroyed
by Sherman in 1865. After the war, his resi-
dcuce her" hnins b"~~,, lac was 1orced TO retire
10 his plantation near Fort Motto. With hope
full and cheerful disposition, and being undaun
ted by the infrmtics of age, he cndeavored for
some years to make an honest living by travel
ing over the State in the insurance business.
Full of charity for all mankind, the young
listened with interest to his conversation, and
men of maturer years sought his company on
account Of his buoyant, youthful and cheerful
spirit. Everywhere he went he was honorcd,
welcomed and loved. Well, then, should the
State lament the death of such man, for South
Carolina had no truer son.

The Tight Times.

The Tight Times.
Every day brings news, fro2 all parts OF the
world of suspensions of Banks and Saving In
siitu,ions and failures in all characters OF
businesses and occupations. And what gives the
matter a more gloomy outlook isthc fact that these
failures nrenot confined to firms and institutions
OF reccn: establishment. 1t is serious fact
that among the list of failures reported of late
we find number of the Oldest firms in the coun-
try firms lat have oforc been looked upon,
from their long standing and reputcd great
wealth, rs being sound to the core and worthy
of unboundcd confidence, suddenly goin, down,
with crash that startles the world and shakes
commercial confidence to its centre. On the lst
of this month the telegraph Informed us that
New York was startled by the announcement that
Booth & Edgar, sugar rcfners of many years
standing and always enjoying good reputation,
had failed with liabilities estimated from $780,
600 to S75O.0O0.
On the same day the failure of Joseph Foulk
s. Son, shipping house of sixty years stand
ing, was announced, with liabilities from $780,
600 to $500, 900.
These are only two instances out Of many we
have read lately, Of the fall and tottering con
dition of business firms that for years had been
consi lered most sound and reliable.
Is it any wonder, then, that younger. loss OK
prr,sncea and weaker houses should be dragged
into the maelstrom created by such leading es-
adjustments? Yes, the times must be tight in
deed, when it chokcs down the strongest and
most reputable business firms in the coun-
try. And we shall not be surprised if they get
tighter befor. next winter.

Letter From Thorn Creek

The following should have appeared
in THE TELLER last week, but was mis-
laid after the receipt.
THORN CREEK /. T.. Jan 10th 1878.
EDITOR TELLER:-As the people are
unanimously in favor of annexation to
Washington would it not be we'll to be.
gin to agitate the question Of delegate
to the convention. We are asked to
assist in framing a State Constitution
by which we are to be governed sure.
" matter of so great importance
should receive more than a passing no.
tice. Of course it is not expected that
there will be an election but there should
be some way of getting an expression
from the people through out these three
counties. Would it not be we'll to call
a convention in Lewiston, composed of
delegates from the different precincts
With your permission, Mr.. Editor,
[ will notice one question which | think
is worthy of consideration. In the new
State of Washington there will be
large amount Of valuable school land,
such land is generally sold at low fig
ures and the proceeds devoted to educa-
tional interest. Would it not be better
for our school lands to remain the prop
erty of the state and let them be leased
and the rent applied to the school
funds For few years the returns
might not be as large as they would be
from the sale, but after the lands be-
come valuable, the rent would amount
to much more than the interest on the !
small amount that would be received !
from the sale at very low figure.
What do others say. With Respect
