the suggestion that Dear Wiz is in

Nv advice to Dear Will" is to pitch
right in and stick his head under the

trick in getting married than thar is
in eating peanuts. But, Dear Will"
don't expect "Dnckie" to be an angel;
they have heeu picked mp lung ago.
Remember Dear Will" you Amt II
yourself. Don't marry exclusively for
beauty; beauty is Ike ice. awful slip

then don't marry for Inv alone; Inv IS

Every citizen should be ready for
the enumerator when he comes
around in June. Go to work and
make a memorandum showing as near
as possible the actual amount and
value of. the products of last year.
This Will include everything raised on
the farm, as we'll as stock, animals,
etc. The names and ages Of each
member of the family will be required.
It will facilitate the work of the emu
merator very much if this work is
prepared beforehand. If you have
aeighbors white or colored who do
not read the papers, and who may be
ignorant OF the purport of a census,
explain it to them 81 they may be
prepared to answer without hesitation.
Remember that the enumerator has
nothing to do with the assessment of
property for the purpose of taxation.
All persons above the age Of 81 years
who shall refuse to furnish informa-
ton to enumerators will subject them
selves to fine and Imprisonment.

THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CON.
VENTIoN AND ITS WORK.

The Chairman of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee has issued
the following circular to the County
Chairmen, under date of March 25,
1880:
In the recent call for a convention,
to assemble on the first of June next,
in Columbia, the State Executive
Committee, among other things, de-
sired to submit to the convention it.
self when it assembled, the question
whether the nomination of the State
ticket should be made then or at q
subsequent time. Had the commit
tee omitted to name, among the OBJ
iects for which that convention was
called, the nomination of State Off
GERS, they would, practically, have as
sumed to decide the ustter in favor
of a second convention. 1t is impor-
tant that this view of the action OF
the committee should be presented to
your respective county conventions
when they assemble to select dele
gates; and you are requested to lay
it before them, to the end that the
wishes of the party may find express
sion, and the delegates be advised Of
the desire of their constituents. Uni
ty and harmony are paramount to
every other consideration. The COM
mittee has implicit faith that the &C
ton of the convention, whatever it
may be, will insure the success Of the
Democratic party.
If the explanation contained in this
circular had been embraced in the
call of the Executive Committee much
uneasiness would have been saved
the press of the State. It will be seen
from the circular that the County
Conventions will have the power to
decide if a second convention be held
OF a later date for the nomination o!
State officers. No doubt the dele
gates from the county conventions
will be instructed to vote for a second
convention.

What Others Think Of Colonel
Aiken.

In relation to the letter from Col.
Aiken to the Neus and Courier, which
we publish in this issue, the Laures-
vile Herald we'll says:
"Col. Aiken in this matter, as in
some other matters for which ne has
been taken to task touching his stew
ardship, has fully and satisfactorily
vindicated himself. In due Difference
to a,few persons who may hold ad-
verse opinions, we regard Col. Aiken
to be as conscientious, Jealous, patri-
otto and able a Representative as any
other State affords; and he is at the
same time independent in thought
and action. He has a head of his
own, and be thinks and acts for him
self. He borrows the ideas Of no
man, and always holds himself ready
to give an account OF his actings and
doiugs. That'sju just why we like him
and for that reason we want him re-
turned to Congress. He is just now
we'll broke to the harness, and is a
faithful Representative. It's a good
rule to let we'll enough alone"
The following is al extract from a
letter from Lexington County signed
Farmer" published in the Register
of the 2Sth:
II believe the present will be the
last administration under the present
form of government.
Carlisle said Great Britain has
twenty-seven millions of Inhabitants
mostly fools" How far are we re-
moved from that expression? When
Col. Aiken expressed his opinion in
reference to the National Democracy
nominating an independent candidate
i suppose such a man as David
Davis-he would command more
votes and respect from the North.
This vas about the gist of his offend
ing. And for this he must be read
out OF the Democratic party and
other names proposed to take his
place from one end of the Congress
sional District to the other. This
was the most unkindest cut of ALL"
a man that has laboredmore earnestly
than anystsher in tie interest OF
agriculture-an occupation that gives
maintenance and prosperity to every
other vocation in life. Farmers
should see to it that no ring, clique
or any other power shall displace one
who is their right hand bower. I
will take the liberty OF quoting from
a letter received from the Commits
sioner of Agriculture at Washington:
Col. Aiken is a gentleman whose
purity of life, independence OF char.
acter and signal ability have given
force to the earnestness Of his efforts,
not only in behalf of his constituents
but of the agricultural interest of the
United States"

THE CENSUS.

As frequent Inquiries have been
made of US lately for information in
relation to the taking of the census,
by those who desire to make spplica-
tons for appointment as enumeration,
We repeat the following points of the
law. There will be one enumeration
appointed for every 1000 people.
The compensation allowed enumera-
tors will be, for every inhabitant 2
cents; for every death reported oc-
curing within the year 2 cents; for
every farm 10 cents, and for each
establishment of productive industry
Is cents. This will cover all expenses
of mileage, etc. 1t will, however, be
discretionary with the Supervisor to
allow 81 per day, instead Of the above
compensation, where the population
is 80 sparse that it will not pay to
work at 2 cents a head. There are
provided, fines and forfeitures, and
even Imprisonment, for neglect or
refusal to do the work prescribed in
the oath taken by the enumerators.
The censu must be completed in
thirty days from the 1st Of June.
Under these provisions of the law,
Lexington County must have as
many as three enumerators. The
Supervisor of this census district, we
are informed, has decided to increase
the number of enumerstors, decrease
the territory allowed each one, limit
the number of days for each enumera-
tor to complete his returns of the
district assigned him, and allow q
compensation Of 81 per day. APP
plicants for the Office of enumeration
must address Maj. Harry Hammond,
Supervisor, I'd S. c., District, Beach
Island, S. G.
As o matter Of information We give

INCORRECT,
The Abbevilie Press and Bnppe7

The Abbeville Press and Banner
says:
"The Lexington Dispatch, if We are
not mistaken, a few weeks ago as
leader of those favori1g primary cleo
tons in that county, in,imated that
unless that plan was adopted, the
Fall elections could not be car
ried by the Democratic party of
this State. When such a sentiment
is made, it means, when translated
into plain English, about this: If we
cannot have things our OWL way, we
will allow the Republicans to win"
If instead of contenting itself with
the saving clause "if we are noo mis-
taken" the Press and Banner had ex-
ercised its usual journalistic diligence
it would not have 80 widely departed
from its usual journalistic correctness.
Inasmuch as the DISPATCH neither
said or intimated anything Of the
kind, the column editorial which the
Press and Banner devotes to the sub
ject has no application so far IS the
DISPATCH is concerned. We must add
that We think the Press and Banner
displayed o want of journalistic cour-
tesy in not citing the article of the
DBaArcu to which it refers, when so
