to carry out his purposes without
throwing any obstacles in his way,
but I am 10th to have you de-
prived of his valuabie rhetorical
contributions. Indeed, have heen
told by some of your readers that
they enjoy Mr.. j. H. McL.'s effu-
sions greatly, especially "the issue
of derision," whatever that may
mean.
So fur as argument is concerned,
Messrs. Editors, I have thought
from the outset that it would be
insulting to the common sense and
we'll known Intelligence of the peo-
pie of Fairfield to attempt to COM
bat by serious discussion the absurd
proposition made by my friend Of
Feasterville. Had T started out in
that line I would have had heaped
upon me, and deservedly too, as
much ridicule rs the course of Mr..
i. Hendrix McLane has drawn upon
himself. Though aspiring to the
fame Of Nazarene of old, Mr. J. H..
Mel is still tolerably clever fell
low, and, if he had not started out
80 early in life to write newspaper
communications, might eventually
have acquired Il reputation for wis
dom and sagacity. AS it is, T fear
that he is destined to bitter disap-
pointment, while it is possible that
he might have been upon the tbresh~
hold Of a brilliant career. His case
is peculiarly sad one, and should
prove a lesson to all young men.
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors,
Mr.. j. Hendrix McInne is woefully
deluded if he supposes that am not
responsible for what I write. If he
thinks so, let the proper test be ap~
piled, and he will be quickly unde-
ceived. FAIR PLAY.

The DARLINGTON Neaos pays the
following handsome and just
tribute to Major Woodward and
Col. D. Wyatt Aiken
We have an Aiken, devoted to the
agricultural interests of his State
and to immigration. His return to
Congress every sensible man in
South Carolina demands, md he
should have assistants. Send
Major Woodward, Of Fairfield, to
Congress, and he would not only
ably assist Colonel Aiken in ropre-
senting the agricultural interests of
the State, but would soon cause the
rivers Of the State to abound in
fish. Knowing him well, we
venture the assertion that situated
rs we arc just now, no man would
be more useful to us in Congress.
Will his district have the common
sense to send him?

The Spirit of the Primary System

A number Of papers are still dis
cussing the merits and demerits of
the primary system of nominations,
although most of the counties have
either adopted or rejected the plan.
Ihe popularity of the discussion is
that the opponents of tho plan, by
strange perversion, urge against
1t the very arguments in which it's
strength consists. The fundament-
al idea Of tho system is to defoat
oliques and wire pullers and to
secure the direct voice of the
people, and it is q weak argument
to assert that rings can control the
votes of hundreds of Democrats
scattered throughout county

The Pinkst0n Lie.

1t will be remembered that while
the Louisiana Returning Board was
prosecuting it's pretended count, a
great sensation was caused through-
out tho United States by the
production before this immaculate
Board, and the visiting statesmen,
of u negro woman named Eliza
Pinkston, who was all cut and
gashcd up, and apparently so i'll
that she had to be moved about on
q sofa. Sho narrated thrilling
story of Democratic atrocities in
Ouachita Parish, detailing to the
minutest circumstance how the
White Leaguors had murdered her
husband and beaten her, leaving
her for dead. The Democrats
denied the story, but it fired the
Northern heart nevertheless. Now
it appears that Eliza has uEbur-
dened herself recently to New
York Herald reporter. She con-
tesses that the whole story was n
lie, that she and her husband were
assaulted by negro man, per-
sonal enemy Of his, that she was
paid five hundred dollars for her
testimony, and that, SO far from
being at deaths door at tho time,
her wounds did not prevent her
from going about, and that she
actually walked to the place of
meeting, and was then placed on a
sofa and taken into the room. She
now tcstitios that at no time did
she believe the Democrats guilty of
the outrage. Her new husband
and other persons testify to the
truth of her story. Thus is swept
away another gigantic lie. The
Hero1a is intensely disgustod with
Southern Republicans, and feeling
ly asserts that they all lied in 1876
or arc lying now in their evidence,
and that in any case it is exasperat-
ing to think that eight and q half
million Americans voted for presi-
dent, while the result lay in the
hands of suoh vile cattle as McLin,
Wells, Anderson, Dennis and
jerks. In its opinion there can DO
no doubt that huge conspiracy
existed in the South to count
Hayes in. It prophesios that tho

be less trading at primary than in

be less trading at primary than in
a convention.
Again, when convention is to
nominate eight or ten candidates
it is impossible for every voter to
secure his preference in every case
by electing one set of delegates to
perform the whole duty. In con-
sequence the fight generally centres
upon the most important office, and
the aspirants for other places have
to depend upon the caprice or COM
binations of the delegates. In a
primary election every member of
the party votes directly for his
choice, and every candidate stands
upon his own merits He cannot
be sold out OF juggled in by a
combination. Another strong argu-
mont in favor of primaries is that
almost every politician who is a
good wire-puller objects to it.
When this class advocate q conven-
ton as being more convenient,
they mean secretly that it is more
easily manipulated to suit their
schemes. The Democrat who
proposes to so squarely before the
people on his own merits, and
desires to secure the unbiased YER
dict Of the people, prefers the
primary system. The spirit of tho
system is utterly opposed to caucus
dictation of every species. And
the State Executive Committee in
recommending its adoption even
go SO far as to rcprohend the
system of club nominations. They
desire that every Democrat, Of any
aspirations whatever, may have an
opportunity of submitting his
claims to the people directly, with
out needing the intervention of a
club. The plan Of club nomina-
tions, they fear, may antagonize
different clubs in n county and give
rise to sectional feeling. AS the
great necessity of the party is to
secure meritorious representatives,
these should be selected not be-.
cause they belong to any class or
any particular club, but because
they are fit to perform the duties
assigned to them. If any person
desires to solicit Office he should
not wait for club nomination, but
should come out squarely on his
own merits, and allow Democrats
in their individual capacity to
decide whether he suits them.
This is the spirit of the primary
system.

The Kings Mountain Military School,

Editor Columdia Register The
twenty third scholastic year of this
far-famod institute ended on Fri
day, June 21, 1878. 1t WAS found
ed in January, 1855, by two young
graduates of the Citadel, who, by
their perseverance and untiring
energy, raised it to the highest
standard of excellence. These
young men, viz, General Micah
Jenkins and Colonel Asbury Cow
ard, were distinguished in the late
war rs gallant officers, true patriots
and noble gentlemen, the former of
whom shed his ife's blood in the
cause of his country; the latter,
who was mono the less brave, still
continues, by his instructions,
discipline and noble example, in
perfccting our youth, both mentally
and physically, in such duties that
they may be able to tread the
rugged path of life and be an honor
to their State and O blessing to
their parents. This school is
situated in a most healthful and
pleasant locality, in the hourishing
town of Yorlxville, seventeen miles
from the famous battlefield of
Kings Mountain, The hospitality
OF the citizens of the above~men-
toned town is unbounded, and
the beauty, wit and sparkling
vivacity of it's young ladies is unsur-
passed. 1t enjoys all the facilities
afforded by railroad, telegraph,
churches and good society. The
climate is moderate in winter, and
the breeze from the mountains dis
pels the oppressive heat of summer,
and renders the air pure and
bracing. The table, under the
supervision of The estimable wife Of
the principal, is extremely good, and
the rates have been lowered to suit
the hard times Colonel Coward is
ably assisted in his duties by eff
cient teachers, among whom may be
mentioned Professor VIM. Currell,
q gentleman of the old type, O. dis
tinsuished graduate of the South
Carolina College in it's better days,
and who is honored and beloved by
all his pupils. Any persons desiring
further information regarding the
uniform, discipline, daily routine of
duties, and standard of study, may
