A Suggestion that the State De-
mocracy Assemble in
Greenville.

We commend to the thoughtful attention
Of tho Democracy of the State the annexed
article from the Abbevlle Medium, propos-
ing that the next meeting of the Democratic
State Convention assemble in this city.
We see no reason why it should not be
adopted:

ever been held outside of Columbia, and
we propose Greenvillo US the plaoo 70.
holding the next convention of tho party.
The up country Democracy deserve som
consideration at the hands of tho party.
they want the Convention and they should
have it. In 1876 they conducted the cam-
paigo and carried the State. During the
deadlock in Columbia they captured the
State house aud faced the foe night apd
day, and in imminent peril of their lives,
and at all times, in every emergency, in
peace aud in war. they have ever been the
most active, faithful and vigilant oham ions
of popular rights and State supremacy
They ask the party now to give them the
next nominating convention for tho State
Groenville is easy Of access and can be
reached in twelve honrs from the most re.
mote parts of tho State. 1t is in a high
and healthy atmosphere, right under the
shadow of the everlasting hills, and it is
the prido and glory of upper Carolina. 1t

fuences that have inscnsibly grown up in
Columbia aud could give the State ticket
that would carry strength and purity and
victory with it. Columbia and Charleston
have had entirely loo much to do with di-
reetug the policy of the party in the past,
and, to state the matter quito plaiuly, the
working Democrats Of the State, the red
shirted clans of the mountain and middle
counties, do not intend to submit to their
dictation apy longer. They intend to have
some voice in saying what and how aud
when the party shall act. The Greenvile
convention will be no cut and dried affair.
There will be no lobbying and trading in
candidates and influence, but tho delegates
Of the people, 'unawcd by influence and
unbribed by GAIN will franc the platform
and namo tho ticket. There will be no
logroling with fusionsls, no compromises
with the outside political elements, no rc
gard to the tond investments and property
speculations of favored localities to tho de-
triment Of all the rest Of the Stato We
are confident the outspoken press and
thinking people all over tho State will fall
in with our suggestion without urging"

A Sterling Old Poem.

Who shall judge man by his manner,
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupcrs may be fit for Princes,
Princes fit for nothiu. else.
Crumped shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts aud feelings
T. Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out Of stone;
There arc purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overthrowu;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves und prospcrs you and me,
While he values thrones tho highest
But as pebbles in tho sea.
Man upraiscd above his fellows,
OFT forgcts his fellows then;
s-ruers-lords, remember
That your mcancst kinds are men
Men Of labor, men OF feeling,
Men OF thoughts, and mcu of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
IN mau's eunobIing name.
IuCtC ulC tOdu OCCduot
There are little wood clad rills;
There arc feeble inch high saplings,
There are cetlars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves aud prospcrs you and me;
For to Him all vague distinctions
Are as pebbles in tho sea.
Toiliug hands alone are builders
Of the nGtions wealth aud fame;
Titled l"zincSs is pcnsoucd,
Fed aud fattcncd on the same;
BY the sweat of others forchcads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mnn's outraged freedom
Vainly lifts ts feeble voice.
Truth and justice a:c eternal.
Born with loveiness aud light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right;
God, whose worldwide voice ia siUEiD,
Buundle>s love to you and me,
Links oppression, with its titles,
But as pebbles in the sea.

TIMELY CAUT1oN.-Girls, beware of tho
man who talks love to you and SO claims q
right to ooresses and familiar freedom, vet
never ask you to marry him. A lover who
never means to be husband is moan
man. lilo pretends not to believe in en-
gagements and does not bind himself in any
way, but expects from you all lovers
privileges. You give him everything, and
ne gives you-what he has often given, and
ls even now giving to others who believe
him as foolishly as you do.
You need not bo prudish, but be modest,
refined, pure and delicate. Mako rudeness,
coarsencss and personal liberties impossible
in your presence; make men better by being
better yourselves.
