in your issue of the 30th ult., I have
had first class barber to shingle
my "heed," and he says it is about as
''level as he can make it; and not
having given much attention lately
to mechanics, / am at loss to know
how am to ''get my head a little
more level;" but--and if there be any
process by which, or through which
| might carry this "self constituted"
thinking apparatus of mine, and not
destroy the moral gravity Of the
thing, certainly would like to find
them. Be that as it may, Lam glad
to know that I do disagree with you
in some things. Now, of course, l
must tolerate primary elections, nom
mating conventions, but can I toler-
ate cliques and rings9 But you do,
and this is just where we differ, and
will ever differ, unless you become
50 little more level" Now, 1 took
these four words, primary elections,
nominating convention, cliques and
rings, together, and in the main
would allow, for the present, the first
two, but never the two latter. You,
in acknowledging your disagreement,
virtually tolerate and would foster
the whole, while [ would eject
erase-the two latter from all our
political lexicographies. Iwoul have
item expunged from all other die
tionaries, except in the sense of the
clicking of a clock, or in that of all
ether useful machinery, as for in
stance the clicking of a trigger jnst
behind a ball that would wipe out ali
my dear Josephuses" from the face
of our noble old State. AID except
in the ringing Of a bell when we are
hungry, and in the ringing Of all
other good rings as the ring on the
tore finger of a beautiful lady, how
ever dista6tetul it might be to few
would-be lovers who are thus mott
fed silently that "their cake is
dough-" Now, if you think I have
leveled down any OH this subject, 1.
shall be content, and shall take much
pleasure in assisting you and your
many readers in making rough
places smooth; and I know if yen
live long you will have to pass over
many. 49,. .
/ was in attendance last night up
on the city Democratic club, and
must say we had good time gener-
ally; everybody firing "a sqnib."-
You will find when you. visit our
club that it is fright side," and as
ready to do battle in '78 as it was in
76. The negroes are cordially in
vited to join MS or organize clubs
Democratic clubs Of course) of their
own. ..
Now, to be brief and to conclude,
| would talk of something useful to
us all. Everybody likes a genius,
and we all like, above everything
else, to have our clothes fit we'll, even
if they are of the coarsest fabric; and
in order that your readers may know
where to get good fits for themselves
and the boys, l would most earnestly
recommend Mr.. A. B. Morrison. He
is an Englishman Americanized, and
worked here four or five years ago,
as many of the readers Of The SEN
T1NEL will remember. He is per-
tect adept in the cutting and in the
fitting up OF a job, has no equal here
So. bring in your,dry goods and see
Morrison" me door south OF Court
House. If / SHOULD not come over
to Pickens soon, [ will write in a
week or two, and if | do come and
should not see you, will write any
way. D1oDoo.
