Death of Mr.. David A. Watdlaw.

The people Of our town were PANIED
last week at the intelligence of the Heath
in Memphis, of this most excellent Young
man, who was born and raised at this
place. No young man who ever lived
with US, was held in higher cstcom than
David Wardlaw. His noble and manly
bearing, his generous and kind heart,
coupled with popular manners, won for
him the respect, esteem and affection OF
all who knew him. \ noble spirit has
gone down to the grave. because of his
self-sacrifcing disposition. His brother
Langdon Wardlaw was taken sick OF
yellow fever. He went to nurse him,
when he himself fell a victim to that ter
rible scourge. Noble man; noble broth
er; christian gentleman. Peace to his
ashes. The augusta Chronicle and Sen
tinel, in reference to the death of David
Wardlaw, says:
A telegram was received in this city
Yesterday announcing the death OF Mr..
David A. Wardlaw, on Friday, in Mem
phis. He was a brother of our towns
men, DR.. w. c. Wardlaw and Mr.. L. =.
Wardlaw, and was, with another brother,
in the cotton business in Memphis. The
circumstances Of his immediate death
are unknown. At All early stage of the
epidemic in Memphis he left that city,
expecting to be followed promptly by
his brother, who remained. On the
evening preceding this brothers expect
ed departure from Memphis he was
stricken with the fever. Mr.. David n.
Wardlaw Immediately returned to Mem
phis to be with his sick brother, and on
last Sunday wrote to his brothers here
that he was perfectly well, and that his
sick Srother was in a canvalescent state.
Such cheerful news wholly untitled his
relatives for the terrible denouement Of
yesterday. After the receipt of the
aforementioned letter, nothing further
was heard from the two until yesterday,
when the simple intelligence was re-
ceived announcing the death of the no
BILE and self-sacriticing nan who had re-
turned to Memphis to be with his sick
brother. This is a splendid instance Of
fraternal devotion. Becoming a hero,
Mr.. Wardlaw also became Il victim. But
in the gloom that shrouds his death there
is the consoling faith that such 4 devoted
death will not be without its crown OF
glory in another life. We extend to the
relatives OF the deceased our heartfelt
sympathy.

Col. F. w. R. Pope, the able and court
eous editor of that excellent newspaper,
Speights' Daily, always has a kind word
for Abbeville. A few days ago he copied
our remarks about the town election, and
said "Well done for Abbeville. We
are glad to see some Of the colored peo-
pie mean to stand by good government,
and the whites are determined they shall
not be intimidated. Remove colored in
timidation by citizens Of color, and we
will carry half the colored vote. We saw
enough in Abbeville to show US that this
thing must be sharply looked after"

Speech of Hon. IL. NJ. Sims.

FriIom- Citizens NJ A6bcriHc: / engaged in
the Confederate army seventeen years ago
not for any particular love of military ser
vice, but from patriotic motives. ] come here
now in the same spirit with the hope that
my example and presence may he of cncour-
agemcnt to any who may be at all lukewarm.
II is II source Of rcgrct that our grand old
leader Is not with us in person to-day. He Is,
| am sure, with us in spirit. We all feel this
campaign to be an evcntful one. Whilst we
believe 1t will be prosecuted with the same
we shall hope for Il more complete triumph.
II is however needless To say that Republic
canism III the United States is waning, but
RldicaliSm is not dead In South Carolina.
The Northern Republicans will make every
effort to regain its lost. power in the South.
Its great power has been its ruin. Assured Of
their strength, they have proved false in cv-
crything. Through their corruption, their
defeat has followed in every Southern State
the very citadel of their strength and power.
1t is our duty to ourselves and to our cOlorcd
friends to support the nominations for State
and County officers and we should ut the
saline time use our greatest cXcrtions to elect
as many mcmbe to Congress as possible.
The next Congress will perhaps elect the
President in lSS. Thu Republican party in
the United States has gone asundcr. and the
Democratic party will certainly soon he in
control OF the Government: We hope that
we may make no mistake. The Republican
party can no longer be guided and upheld by
Federal bayOncts. We have felt the evils of
oppression. We have felt the greatness and
SOOlIlcSS pl SttttSS. NO SDDlllSIrN can make
wrong right. The poverty of nearly every
household in South Carolina hears witness Of
our tolerance and forbcarancc in the past, but
we hope fora better state of things i'm the fu-
turc. We ask all TO unite with us on the
Platform OF rs, upon which WI then stood
and achieved such Il splendid victory. We,
guarantee equal rights and protection to all.
The Democracy of the State redeemed South
Carolina from Radical corruption and mis-
rule, and we will bury all personal animoSi-
ties, and forgetting our OWL personal aims,
fight solely for the advancement of the party
which has done SO much for the poor.
AS FAR AS THE HEAVENS.
The colorcd people of this State since the
war nave been under the lead of Il few North
crn adventures, who controlled the State for
ten wears previous to our redemption.- Wedid
not unite with them because they did not
want US. There Adventures, together with
the officers Of the Federal Government,
taught them exalted ideas of freedom" We
were rs far apart as the heavens are from the
earth. The leaders Of the party did not de-
sire, us to have voice In the Government.
We proposed Il division Of the offices, but
declined to accept any of our PROPOSE
tons. Finally, in mercy to ourselves, our
wives and our children. the Democratic party
of South Carolina rose In their might as one
man to throw off the yoke of Republican
bondage. Great as was our victory then, 1t
