WHAT THEY WANTED TO Do
We understand that it was the in
tention Of the Radicals to capture the
polls on last Tuesday and hold them
all day thus preventing the Democrats
from voting but they soon found that
such plan could not be carried out
and then they were advised BY their
leaders not to vote at all, SO that there
would be an excuse for them to contest
the election under the plea that they
were intimidated, From II o'clock
till 6 P. NJ, there werO hardly more than
fifty votes polled at both boxes in Cam
den, aud the way was open tor any who
chose TO do so; but no persuasion
could induce the RAIDS to go up and
vote. Some we're even carried up, ard
then they refused to do SO. -...-.....

THE sun FOR 1879

The Sus will be printed every day dur
ing the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as in the past:
To present all the news in readable shape,
and to tell the truth though the heavens
fall. ...
THE Sun has been, is, and will continue
to be independent Of everybody and every
thing save the Truth and its own convic-
tions Of duty. That is the only policy
which an honest newspaper need have.
That is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the confidence and friendship
of q wider constituency than was ever en-
ioyed by any other American Journal.
The present disjointed condition of par
ties in this country, and the uncertainty of
future, lend an extraordinary significance
to the events of the coming year. The dis
cussions of the press, the debates and acts
of Congress, and the movements Of the lea
ders in every section of the Republic will
have direct bearing on the Presidential
election of l880-an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest
by every patriotic American, whatever his
political ideas or allegiance. To these elo-
ments of interest may be added the proba-
bility that the Democrats will control both
houses of Congress, the increasing feeble
ness o: the fraudulent Administration, and
the spread and strengthening everywhere
of health adherence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy aud clearness the
exact situation in each ofits varying phases,
and to e1pound, according to its we'll
known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will be an
important part Of The Suns work for
1879. .
We have the means of making The Sun,
as political, o literary and q general
newspaper, more entertaining and more
useful than ever before; and we mean to
apply them freely.

changed. For the DAILY Sun, four page

THE GREAT VICTORY,

Last Tuesday will never be forgotten
as long as the history of South Carolina
can be read. 1t was the most glorious
day the old State has ever seen-the
one upon which she won the greatest
victory ever achieved at the polls in
this State. II appears as if the Radicals
had cut and dried job of it, not to vote
at all, but to make it out that they
were bull.dozed and prevented from
doing 80. We understand as we 90 to
press that they have already, in this
county, made many afidavits to that
effect, and many warrants for arrest
have been issued, though mono have
yet been served.
A more quiet and orderly election
was never held in this county, and the
entire Democratic ticket is elected, by q
majority of over 1000 (1.911)
The news from the other counties is
equally cheering. We give below a
partial list of those heard from.
Charleston is believed to be safe, as
nearly all the precincts heard from give
Democratic majorities.
Aiken claims 5000 majority for the
Democratic ticket. James Major,
Radical supervisor, because lie was not
allowed to carry his fourteen year>old
son into the polling place as clerk, re-
fused to go in himself, and destroyed
all the Radical tickets.
Abbeville gives 5000 majority.
Everything passed off very quietly.
Many negroes voted the Democratic
ticket. -
Anderson gives 4,5OO majority. All
quiet.
Barnwell gives $500 majority.
Smalls was burned ia efillety.
Cotton claims 5000 majority. Toomer
Radical eau didate, telegraphed to Gov.
Hampton for protection, claiming that
he was intimidated. Gov. Hampton
told him to apply to the constituted
authorities.
Chester claims 200 majority.
Edgefeld, the banner county of rs
comes up with 5000 majority.
Old Fairfield, our next door neigh
Dor, puts up $500 majority.
Union claims 1000 majority for the
Democratic ticket.
Marion, one Of the Radical strong
holds, shows 800 majority for for the
Democrats. ..
The whole Democratic ticket is
elected in Orangeburg by good major
ity.
Oconee shows 1000 majority for the
Democrats.
Richland, for the first time in twelve
years elects white ticket by 1900
majority.
In Sumter the returns are not yet
complete, but it is certain that there is
large majority for the Democratic
ticket.

BugaLARY.-On Thursday night
last the store of Mr.. J. NJ. Williams
was broken into by thieves and robbed
of over $500 worth of goods, consisting
Of boots, shoes, blankets, overcoa's'
shirts, watches, one pistol, etc. The
thieves were very deliberate in their
work as they had lighted candle, and
sorted out the most valuable goods in
the house. We learn that no clue has
yet been obtained as to who the thieves
are. They effected an entrance by
prizing open a window in the rear Of
the store, and. after they were inside,
opened The back door to take out their
booty.

Re.Opening q ThOroughfare.

In order to guard against results utterly sub
yersive Of health, 1t is absolutely essential that
the grand thoroughfare or avenue Of the system,
the bowels, should be re-opened as speedily as
possible, when they become obstructed. If they
are not, the bile is misdirected into the blood !;
the liver becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter
gets into the stomach and produces indigestion;
headaches ensue, and other symptoms are pro-
duced, which a prolongation Of the exciting
cause only tends to aggravate. The aperient
properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters consti-
tute most useful agent in overcoming constric-
tlon Of the bowels, and promoting regular habit
Of body 1t Is infinitely superior to the drastic
cathartcs frequently used for the purpose, since
it does not, like them, act violently, but produces
a natural, painless effect, which does not impair
the tone of the e7acuatory organs, which 1t in
vigorates instead of weakening. The stomach
and liver, also, indeed the entire system, is
strengthened and regulated by 1t, ,...

They had not been at it long before two

the part of the dogs broke up the other

to take more interest in the dog light

RUNAWAY. "A novel case Of running
away occurred on DeKa)b street last
Friday. An OK team was coming down
the street at the rate of about one mile
an hour the OK hanging Gown his
head as if he was tired OF life, and
wishing that his days for work were
over, when suddenly he raised his head
up and looked around as if a bright idea
had flashed into his miud-he wanted
his liberty, and he would have it. He
started off at lively trot, defying all
efforts of the driver to control him.
When opposite the hotel, he saw tree
that he thought would relieve him Of
the wagon, so turning sharp around he
run the wagon against it. This scheme
was successful, as the wagon was upset
and be divested of all the harness. He
appeared to be perfectly satisfied with
the result, and turned round and lgazed
quietly upon the wreck. looking as in
nocent as a Chinee cigar vender when
caught stealing peanuts from an old ap-
pie woman.
