convention manipulation, and it re.
quires far greater sagacity and
strength to control q majority of tho
people than to manage II majority in
n convention. The objection that
the primary system would lead to
interminable elections is met by the
provision that ut the second cleo
tion only the two highest candidates
for any Office at tho first election
shall be balloted for. This imposes
two elections as the extreme limit.
The alleged crime of cutting off the
weaker candidates by the primary
system is not near SO outrageous as
tho Staying of the strongest candi-
dates before a convention by bring
ing in q dark horse. The primary
election suffers no one to "lio low"
until the candidates have cut each
others throats. Any one wishing
to succeed, must put his best foot
foremost from the beginning, in
order to be one of the highest two,
between whom the people arc to
choose. The objection to the novel;
ty Of this dangerous innovation is
urged by those who arc unaware
that the primary system has been
adopted in many States us tho
0eraier ressort for preserving the
purity of party. In Fairfield, q
number of the best citizens who
refused previously to enter the
clubs now declare that all scruples
are removed by the adoption Of tho
primary system. They are willing
to trust the Judgment of d majority
Of the Democrats, but they would
not tic to the action Of convention.
As to the objection to the pledge,
an organization is not worth having
unless it can weld it's members in u
solid body. Otherwise no one
one would waste time in seeking u
nomination from it.

have been working with zeal and

monument to the memory of tho

to finish the good work before the
close of the present year. In
order to do this they have asked for
little more help from each county,
and have appointed an agent to
solicit. contributions. A few years
ago the small sum- Of twenty-five
cents from each person was called
for, and quite handsome collection
was made up in that way. It is
now proposed to repeat the twenty
five cents collection, and to place q
cash-box in several Of tho stores in
Winnsboro, TO- receive tho same.
From any one desiring to give
more than tw eaty-6ve cents, of
course it will be thankfully received.
An ACT was passed by the last
Legislature, granting leave to place
the monument in the State-House
grounds at Columbia, and surely
every patriot should be anxious to
see it there. All contributions sent
to Mrs. Nv. II. Robertson, agent for
Fairfield, will be pro mptly forward

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAYING WINE TILL 1T
RIPEIS.

There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have.only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill. the wcll-krown
graPc-grower Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for Il settlement
of the estate and the sale Of the wines Oh
hand. Among these is a wine of tho vintage
of 1864, described as Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting tho Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mcllowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and winc-
fanccrs have a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stool; is in the
hands Of the weIl-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbcrs.-N, y Tribune,

The Wife's Secret.

81 will tell you the secret of our hap
py married lite,' said gentleman OF
threescore and ten. eve have been
married forty years: my bride was the
belle of New York when | married her,
and though | loved her for herself, still,
beautiful flower is all the lOvelieI
poised in an exquisite vase. My wife
knew this, and true to her genuine re-
tinement has never, in all these fol ty
years, appeared ut the table or allowed
me to see her less carefully dressed than
during the days of our honeymoon.
Some might call this foolish vanity
call it zeal wOmanliness. | presume
should not have ceased to- love her had
she followed the example of many 9TH
ers,. and, considering the everyday life
of home necessarily devoid of beauty.
allowed herself to be careless of such
small matters as dressing for her hus-
bands eye; but love is increased when
we are proud of the object loved, and
| to-day | am more proud of my beauti-
full wife with her silver hair and gentle
face than of the bride whose lovelineSS
was the theme of every tongue. Any
young lady can win lover; how few
can keep them such after years of mai
ried life"
In all the little cOurtesies of life; il
all that makes one attractive and charm
ing, i'll thoughtfulness of others and for
getfulness of self, every home should
be begun and continued. Men should
be more CAREFUL to sympatlIize and
protect the wife than the bride-more
willing to pick up her scissors, hand hel
the paper, or carry her packages than
if she were young lady and as NJ
lady would for Il moment think of CON
trolling the movements and engage
ments of a young gentleman, neither
should she do so when he is her hus,
band. If by making herself bright anG
attractive she fails to hold him, compul,
sion will only drive him farther from
her. | do not believe it possible to re.
tain the friendship of any one by de-
manding it. do not believe it possi

Home Missionaries and the Hard
Times.

Home Missionaries on the Western
frontier are suffering severely this yeal
on account of the hard times, and yet
there cannot be found mOIe cheerful
and happy class. They are willing to
remain at their posts and labor for the
advancement of Christ's kingdom, al
though half-fed and poorly clothed as
many of them are. The hard times are
dOubly hard to them, because the
shI1nkage in values, felt throughout the
country, is not indicated by Il reduc-
tion of prices to the consumers in theil
regions. The necessities of life in many
locations, have to be carried so fal
that the expense of transportation is al.
most as mnch as the original cost.
A minister, writing from Kansas
says: "Coal is nine and ten dollars pei
ton, sugar fifteen cents per pound, fiOul
ten and eleven dollars per barrel, and
the cost of other things is in the same
proportion" In many places farther

Writing for the Press.

For the benefit of our correspondents
we print from the Boston Transcript.
the following useful and commendable
suggestions:
|. Write upon one side of the leaf
only. Why? Because it is often nee
ess;ry to cut the pages into "takes" for
the compositOrs, and this cannot he
done when both sides are written upon.
ii. Write clearly and distinctly, be-
ing careful in the manner of proper
names, and words from foreign Ian
guages. WhyP Because you have no
right to ask either editor or compositor
to waste his time puzzling out the re-
suits of your careless selfishness.
III. Don't write in a microscopic
hand. Why? Because the compositor
has to read it across his case, at dis
tance of nearly two feet. Also, because
the editor often wants to make addi-
tions and other changes.
Nv. Don't begin at the very top of
the first page. Why2 Because if YOU
have written head for your article the
editor may want to change it, and if
you have not-which is the better way
he must write one. Besides, he wants
room in which to write Instructions to
the printer as to the type to be used,
where aud when the proof is to be sent,
etc.
V. Never roll your manuscript.
Why ? Because it maddens and exas-
perates every one who touches it, ,-edi-
tor, compOsitOr and proof reader.
vi. Be brief. Why i? Because people
don't read long stories. The number
of readers which any two articles have
is inyersely propOrtioned to the square
of their respective lengths. That is, a
half-column article is read 10y four times
as many people as one of double that
length,
VII. Have the fear of the waste bas-
ket constantly and steadily before youl
eyes. Why? Because it will save You
vast amount of useless labor, to say
nothing of paper and postage.
VIII. Always write your full name
and address plainly at the end of your
letter. Why? Because it will Otter
happen that the editor wants to com.
municate with you, and because b,
needs to know the writer's name as 9
guarantee of good faith. If you write
a pseudonym or initials, write your Owl
name and address below it. 1t will
never be divulged.

them, cut them out and put them wher,
you can readily run through them wher
