WIDE AWAKE There is more en-
thusiosm shown by the citizens Of the
Lynches Greek section in the coming
election than any other portion of our
county. There was rousing meeting
out at Young's Shop on Friday last,
and from the number Of colored men
present it would appear that they were
all coming over to the Democratic party.
The meeting was addressed by Messrs.
w. D. Trantham, J. D. Shaw and Joei
Hough.
One of the prominent features of the
occasion was the music from thoir
"home-made band" as they called it
two drums made out Of cheese boxes,
Csamc sizc) covered with raw hide one
answering as kettle drum and the
other for bass, and beating the double
quick while the men were going ut the
rate of q dead march; a two-string lid
die and a one-striug banjo, a cracked
fife and an old tin horn. However, 1t
answered the purpose for the time.
Another feature was a black sheep
skin inscribed with the words: "Oid
Efe's Hide, captured November D,
1873"
About a hundred men, white and
colored, went down to the old scalawag's
house and asked him to come up and
thoy would give him a chance to ad-
drsss them; but no persuasion could in
duce him to go-either to listen or to
speak himself. They carried with
them banner with a wolf dressed IN
Sleeps clothing drawn on. They said
it was indicative of the scalawag's char
acter.
After the speaking was over, sumP-
tuous dinner was provided for those
present, after which the crowd dis
persed.

ARREsrED.-Nicodemus Brownfeld,
colored, United States deputy Marshal,
arrested several men on Monday for SELL
ing whisky at Town Greek Camp
Ground on Sunday last without a
license. No man, licensed or unlicensed,
ought to be allowed to traffic in whisky
at camp meeting of Christians. Peo~
pie are supposed to go to such places
for the good of the soul and to prepare
it for the future world-not for brawl-
ing carousal and whiskey- drinking
spree. Too severe punishment cannot
be meted out to such would>be distur-
bers of the peace.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. "a, 1878.
Sir Owing to absence Of some days
from my Office, I did not receive your
letter until day or two since, and this
accounts for my delay in replying.
While I deprecate all acts of violence,
and am always willing to exert proper
authority in maintaining the laws, you
must recognize that I have no power 10
exercise judicial authority, nor to take
cognizance of such offences as fall under
the jurisdiction of legal tribunals. If
the facts you state are correct, the par
ties who stopped and arrested you on
the public highway were guilty of a
grave offence, and it is your duty to
have them indicted. The courts are
open to all citizens, and all can secure
Justice before them. The only matter
that I can with propriety act upon is
the charge made against Trial Justice
Steele, and this shall be fully invests
gated. All my effor,s during shis can
vass have been used to promote harmony
and preserve the peace. If there should
occur any public disturbance where L
could properly act, all tho authority OF
my Office shall DO used to quell it, and
to give full protectson to all citizens OF
the State.
have no sympathy with lawlessness
of any sort. nor with those who seek to
produce discord between the two races.
Respectfully yours,
WADE HAMPTON.
p. SIN justice to Trial Justice
Steele, I ask that you prefer specific
charges against him. In the meantime
I refer your letter to Solicitor Hirsch,
requesting him to investigate the whole
matter and to report to me. You can
communicate with him. W. II.

that there is some doubt as to the num-
Der of boxes to be opened at each elec-

also to the Commissioners and Mana

be but one box at each polling pre-

SPARK1Ne.-It happened the other
night. Bill had been to see bis
sweet heart and staid until late hour.
He asked her to be his, and she answered
by nesting her head on bis shoulder
Now, his rival, whom we will call John,
was outside watching all these things,
and it made him wild with rage to be-
hold the ideal one of his dreams acting
that way with another follow. His
presence was unknown; SO he slips away
and gets a few bad eggs,. intending to
get even with Bill if it was possible.
He only waited few minutes after his
return when he saw Bill kiss her good
bye at the door and started on his way
home in such unspeakable happines that
he did not notice anything else that was
going on around him, but went on
musing to himself thusly: "1s it really
so ?" II can scarcely realize it." I'm the
happiest man in the whole world r etc.
Just then John let fly one of the eggs
and it smashed on Bills head. Bill
fell like he was shot, he was go dumb
founded, but soon rose with the excla-
nation: "I must be dreaming p
81 knew. knew it could not last; -
'Tvds bright, 'ta0as heavenly; but tits past.
"Whoopee ! that was an egg, and it
don't smell good" Just then a
neighbor's watchdog heard the noise
and came rushing up to see what
was the matter. Bill started on a
run, but the dog was in time to
get part of his coat tail and the
last seen of Bill he was going up the
street like a whole pack Of wolves were
after him, thinking that all things might
bc fair in love and war, but this looked
like qear for him. The girl heard OF it,
and Bill has not been there since; SC
now John has everything his own way
and has succeeded in getting the answer
given to Bill transferred to him.
