Radical Resolves.

ly betow we give the whereases and resoluttohs
passed bya small gathering of Republicans of this
county in the Court House last Saturday In
the morn ming it rained and during The day the
clouds gave indications Of very unpropitious
weather. This was the excuse given for there
not bcingia larger attendance. Notwthstand-
ing, it was necessary to do and say something,
and as the resolutions had been prepared they
must be passed.
What the meeting was held for can only ibs
surmised. In our opinion it was the dying gasp
of the party in this county but it is evident
there is enough strength LETT in it yet to make
itself felt in the coming campaign.
When we compare the first "whereas' about
"not being expedient to put ticket in the field"
| with the last resolution, endorsing Mobley as
their leader "through the coming campaign"
it is transparent enough for any one TO see
through It7means one Of two things: either
Mobley is authorized to trade off the vote of the
party, if two democratic tickets arc run, or,
what is more likely, it holds out the bait for an
independent ticket, and when the two tickets are
fairly in the field and the democrats squnrely
divided, then he will give his party the sign and
! run q Republican ticket. From past experience
we kaOw it only requires about 1s 'h5ufs before
on election for Mobley to have every republican
voter informed as to the vote to be cast:
Whereas, II is understood there will be more
than one Democratic Ticket in this County for
County officers and Whereas, it is not ex pedient
for the Republican Party of this County to put
forth ticket in the field for County officers,
on account of the disadvantages that await US;
And Whereas, il is essential for US as citizens of
the County and State and as Tax Payers of the
same, and amenable to the laws of the same.
as any other citizens and Whereas, Col. j. s.
Mobley has boen. faith full in the discharge of his
duties towards the Republican Party and has
labored hard through many hard difficulties
for the success Of the same ; and Whereas, we the
Republicans still believe that he will labor Tor
the best interest OF the Party and more especial
ly for the c,lored people; and Whereas, we still
have full confidence in his fidelity and integrity
10 our Party and colored race and his energy
to pursue the best course for the interest of the
Republican Party and more especially for the
colored Race and Wheyras, We believe that he
will do as he has done in the past to psrpetuate
our principles and the interest Of our whole
people and State and County.
Therefore, be it Resolved, That we the Repub
licans Of Union County South Carolina, In Mass
meeting, do hereby endorse Col J. s. Mobley as
our leader, to lead us through the coming cam
paign of 1873.
Resolued further, that we win follow the course
laid down by him and the County Central Com

Comioal Economy,

ideas some people entertain Of what they call
"ecohomy in tho government" Those who as.
sumo q know tho smost prove by their own ar-
gumeni9 thu theyfreally know but little of what
true econoly sin government affairs. They
invariably rike FIRST Mt the salaries of tho va
riOps sf5 seRpara them with what the
day hbofSF OF 'fmprovident and bad managing
farmer has in hand at tho end of the year, ma
king no allowance for the difference in their re-
sponsblities, the mental requirements and the
important public interests entrusted to those
who hold high public positions.
Generally those whip complain most of high
salaries to officials, ore the men who complain
that hepoor working man has no chance for the
Offices, and the FIRST thing they strike at is the
SIS day members of the Legislature.
Well, tetus see how poor man could afford
to be member at less price:
In the first place we will assume that the ses-
sion win last two months--6O days-fsr which
he getst$30O. That seems like q good round
sum fortwo months work, and would be good
price for the best, if it was oil profit; but let
US sum up how much profit he makes: First,
before he gets his seat he has to be elected, and
A sAa sia y iaaas IN 9isisias %ae sss
and electionerins. This part of the work will
cost hm:.. ..........".........."- $75 90
If elected his expenses for Board, &c.,
in Columbia cannot be less than Sl,75
per los 90
That makes a cash outlay of...........S18O 90
Now he has neglected his own business for
three months, or 90 days, and if he is not worth
o dollar and half day at home he's not
worth a cent as representative of an intelligent
people, in the Legislature, SO we will say he has
lost by absence from home Sl35 co. This added
to the cash outlay of SlsO,OOO, would make
$3l5,O0, or fifteen dollars less than he could
make at home and it must be remembered that
all this time his family expen 'es continue, and
his business at home must be seriously neglec-
ted.
Now, suppose the pay is cut down TO So per
day how many men in. this county could afford
to be Legislators-no poor mon, that's certain,
for they would have to pay out every dollar they
got, loose their time, and make not cent for
| their families. And that was the main argu-
ment at the last session, in defeating the motion
to reduce the pay of members.
There are numerous other complaints Of tho
same sort made against the present government
of the State, to which VIC shall refer hereafter
We, however, believe they only originate in
the captions brains of parties who are ever on
the lookout for something to grumblc at and
create diesension and i'll feeling between certain
classes in the democratic party. They read the
bible moro to criticise and dispute it than to
strengthen their faith IN its divine tcachinrs

What the General Said

Anoted General being asked by some of his
friends how he liked Texas, replied: "IfI was OBJ
liged to choose between He'll and Texas, 1 would
choose the former" The above saying is verified
every day by parties moving from the North,
East and South, and as they cannot decide exact
ly as to the existence of the former, they certainly
avoid Texas, and like senaible, industrious people
seek a productive country, such as Missouri, KAN
sas, Colorado, Nebraska and the Far West. Read

Business For Ladies,

Our attention has been called to q new article
for the use of ladies, the invention of which has
conferred an everlasting blessing upon every lady.
We refer to Queen City skirt suspenders for sup
porting ladies' skirts. the most desirable and ben
efcial article ever invented for the relief of wo-
man, many Of whom have suffered years of miser-
able health caused solely by carrying the weight
of a number ofheavy skirts, completely dragging
them down. Something to support ladies clothing
is absolutely necessary. These suspenders are re-
commended by our leading physicians to all ladies
and young girls. Every lady should have them.
They are sold only through lady agents. A SPLEEN
did opportunity is offered to some reliable lady
canvasser of this county to secure the agency of a
pleasant and profitable business. For terms and

advertisement of a once popular bever-
age lettered on a rock that faces the
North Pacific Ocean. For while there
was sort of competition in this matter
OF putting signs in out of the way places,
and the public was supposed to take
some interest in such displays of enter
prise. Goods that could not be sold
through the regular channels of trade,
nostrums and worthless gimcracks fur
nished the staple for this kind of adver-
tising; but even the venders of such
wares found it Improbable at last, and
now the practice may be said to be con-
fined to greenhorns in business.
But equally absurd methods of ad-
vertising still flourish, in which the
principle seems to be to put the display
in the most out-of- the-way place where
the public will be least likely to find it..
SO far as buyers are concerned the So
called trade journals are about as likely
to catch the eye of the general reader
as is the desolate rock on the Aleutian
coast. The circulation of those jour
nails is chiefly among the rivals in the
trade OF selling; perhaps the best evi-
dence as to the interest of the public in
such literature is that it is never bought
except from its Office of publication. =
The trade journal is never seen on the
news stand. To put it mathematically,
there are at least nine chances out Of
ten in favor of advertising ones business
in reputable newspaper. For all the
better class of goods, too. it is the bet
ter class of people that advertisers de-
sire to reach. The journals they should
seek, therefore, are those which are
known and everywhere recognized as
having the largest circulation among
the best people.
