tuesdays Elections.

Several important State elections
were held .op Tuesday in different
parts of the country. The Nc,us and
Courier, in summing up the result,
says: "The elections On 't.Tucsday
turned out as we anticipated, wi,ll-the
single exception that the Republicans
increase their strength in New Jcr-
sey, u slate lhat Ihe Democrnts can
rescue next year. Maryland nnd
Mississippi remain Democratic, and

The Charleston Nomination.

At q ,recemt 'Democ attic Convcn-
tionl Of the city, Capt. VIM. A. Cour-
tenay was unanimc usly nominated for
the; Office of Mayor Of the city, and ac-
tceptcd it very gracefully in letter of
:ulanks 10 the Secretaries. This, we
suppose, puts an end 10 all attempts
at reconciliation between The party
proper and. the Sale faction. Three
candidates will run the campaign
Through: Mr.. Courtenay, the regular
democratic nominee, and a gentle
man in every respect, trustworthy
and honorable; Mr. Sale, who might
;be! considered: Q boltcr, rqps from
purely selfish motives and refuses to
be controlled by party dictation and
mr.. Gaycr, an independent candi-
date, who is opposed to party organ
.lzatiOn, and wishes to run in between
the two contending factions. We
hope the people of Charleston will see
the necessity of party organization
land give their support 10 the party's
candidate. If either Of the latter be
elected Mayor, it will be a calamity
most pernicious in its effects and es-
pecially TO pnrty unity in the city,
land indirectly throughout the State.
IAN attempt will doubtless be made
to rcorganize the old Radical party,
and if this should he consummated, a
.disorganized or cvon divided Democ-
,racy will be helpless TO resist party
'opposed to our prosperity, our policy

The Fair,

The Orangeburg Agricultural and
Mechanical Association opened its
sixth annual exhibition un Wedncs-
day, October goth, at l o'clock A. II.
The visitors in town, apprised of this
fact Ivy the ringing of the Company's
bell, began TO wend their way to the
-groun es~-onNN New Street, and soon
squads and groups of men, women
and children might be seen anxiously
walking, and horsemcn and buggies
fastening to the point Of attraction.
Tic DEMOCRAT, no less anxious and
curious, fell in line, and at twelve
confronted the gate keeper, who, with
a merciful smile, said "Pass in, SIR"
and we passed in proud that our impor-
tancc had been recognized, and thank
ful that tue inevitable half had not
been demanded. A few plows were
in line before the front door to arrest
the attention, but, satisfied with
look. we entered the building. Bales
OF cotton, hay, pcavincs and jute are
standing on either hard, seemingly
as scntincls to guard Llie smaller par
GELS of corn, peas, rice, Wheat, ETC.,
that lay scattered on the floor and
tables as representatives Of the field
crops Of oul county. In this depart
ment we would mention the jute con-
tributed by DR.. j. C. Holman and
Mr.. IIarpin Riggs, as samples of
crops planted to tes: the rracticabilily
of cultivating this crop in tue place
Of cotton. The great trouble of cul-
tivation and the want of the proper
machinery for its preparation for
market will prevent jute, for years,
from becoming leading crop in the
South. A sample Of rice from crop
of forty acres, raised by Mr.. C. j.
Stroman, which averaged fifty BUSH
els per acre, deserves mention from
the fact that the crop was raised by
water culture. An ingenious contriv-
ance in the shape Of an easy chair
from the fertile brain of DR.. w. S.
Barton, just suits lazy man, and
was consequently kept constantly en-
ploycd. Mr.. w. A. Mackay had on
exhibition sample Of the Amber Su.
gar Mi!let from which he realized $50
gallons to un acre and a quarter.
The seed Of this millct is excellent
food for all kinds of stock. Mr.. j.
l.. Moorer is the champion turnip
raiser, contributing from his large
crop some of the largest We have ever
seen.
Leaving the field and workshop we
ascend 10 the second floor, and, turn
ing to the left, came to the table on
which were several specimens of tan.
ming from the the works of Mr.. II.
Riggs. who deserves praise for the
success attained in his new enterprise.
Every kind of leather from the stout
sole 10 the light calf and sheep skins
Is prepared here and in the best
manner known to the art.

pantly refused the offer on several
grounds: That the story appeared to

mediably ruined the character Of man
and woman who enjoyed the confidence
and respect of their friends and family ;
and because, even we're it true, it was q
matter unworthy of . place in the COL
umns OF . decent newspaper. These
reasons, sufficient, it would appear, for
any respectable journal, did not suffice
for one Of the papers of the largest cir
culation in the West-the Chicago
Times-for this very story, given in
full, filled some five of the long col
umns of that paper. 1t is an encourag.
ing fact, however, to notice that the
sensation did not "take," and that it
has nowhere been republished. The
course of the World in this matter is
worthy of the highest praise and COM
mendation. For some years back, the
World declares, = regular brokerage
business has sprung up in New York
and other northern cities for the sale of
sensations and scandals. Blackmailers
and adventures derive q rich profit
from this business. They pry into fam
lily secrets and dig up old and forgotten
family skeletons, write the matter up in
a sensational style and then offer their
manuscripts for sale to the papers, I'M
less the actors who figure in them offer
to buy these stories up. It is impossi-
BILE for an outsider to know the immen-
sity Of this business, and how much the
decent newspapers of the country have
to resist and fight against in opposing
this system. They think, therefore,
that those who refuse the advances of
these sensstionalists deserve credit and
encouragement therefor. There is no
doubt of it.-Neao Orleans Times.
