The candidates had big ''blow out"
at Helena Thursday night. The citi-
zens of that thriving little village are
mostly raiload employees, and have
had no time to 60 around to the barbe-
cacs-hence the candidates went to
them.
When Mr. Ernest Merchant got to
the barbecue Wednesday he found HIM
self horS du co9nJat-with severe chill,
followed by raging fever. He was
thus prevented from courting any Of
the pretty girls who were out in such
numbers. We are glad to be able to
state that he is all right again.

pointed, of course, and 4 great many
voters failed to get their favorites in,
but the defeat is accepted with q good
grace, and we feel safe in saying that
the defeated ones will give their hearty
support to their more successful COM
petitors. The candidates so far nomi-
mated are representative men; one Of
them, Mr.. Johnstone, has already sery-
ed one full term and portion of ano-
other, and has made for himself quite a
fattering reputation as a legislator; the
other two are new men, but they pos
sess the ability and industry to make
them i'm vely short time useful mem
bers. The other officers are the pres
ent incumbents; the vote they received
shows that they have given satisfaction.
They had strongfopponents; the ''ins",
however, always have the advantage Of
the "outs" in a race, provided that all
other things are equal and that they
have not been ''ins" more than one
term.
The mao1ats opera'adi of the election
was not agood one: the separate box"
plan is too troublesome. too confusing
and too slow. It takes nine times long
er to vote, longer to count the vote, and
it entails ten-fold trouble on the mana
gers. 1t would undoubtedly fe far bet
ter to have only one box at each pre-
cinct.

The Sun Picture Exhibition.

The Newberrians have enjoyed Mr..
Tremaine'S sun pictures immensely.
Those who>went the first night expect
ing to see common "magic lantern
show" were vely asreeablY surprised :
they saw nothing ofthe kind, but large.
magnificent views that seemed to be as
nearly perfect as art could make. The
entertainment has run through four
evenings, the attendance increasing at
each exhibition; last night the hall WAS
crowded to its utmost. The pictures,
which are thrown upon canvas and
illuminated by a calcium light, are 10
by Is feet and embrace the finest and
the most celebrated cities, buildings,
natural scenery and sculpture in the
world. Beginning Thursday evening
with the Capitol at Washington, he
made an imaginary tour through tue
old world exhibiting pictures of the
most famous and most magnificent
sketches of London, Paris, Rome, Flor
ence, Venice, Naples, Constantinople,
&C., closing up Monday evening With
Palestine. The views were photo
giaphed by Mr. Tremaine himself and
he has spent many years in preparation
for the exhibitions that he is giving.
These exhibitions are not only enter
tanning but are also bighly instructive
they give a clearer and more correct
idea Of the old world than can be
gained in any other way than by an
actual visit to them. This (Tuesday)
evening Mr.. Tremaine gives his last
entertainment at Newberry. 1t will
embrace views of celebrated places in
this country--Nisgara, Saratoga, Bcs-
ton, &c.-and of portions Of Scotland
and Ireland.

The Preliminary Skirmishing.

bS
The people and the candidates are
truly glad that the primary canvass is
drawing to a close. Barhecues, pic
MICS and public gatherings Of all sorts
have monopolized large portion of
time. and the ceaseless, persistent e}ec-
tioneering has become not only monoto-
nous but absolutely disagreeable. Much
time has been lost thus and a consider
able expense incurred by many who
cannot afford to lose either. These
things seem to be s. necessity-a neces-
sity to this extent: that while any Of
the candidates attend these public meet
ings all are compelled to do it, or those
who stay away will lose ground. A
canvass of this kind, however, is not
without its uses. It is impossible that
any citizen not specially prominent
should be known over the whole Coun-
ty; by this means he is enabled to ex-
tend his acquaintance, to become known
to all the voters, and they have the op-
portunity of finding out better what
there is in him. The primary canvass,
therefore, is 4 good thing-if not car
ried to excess, as we think this has,
been. ..

The Barbecue

The Barbecue
At Col. R. Y. Gist's the 25th wes at

beside ladies and candidates. The can

tice in order to condemn it; it is the
vulgar, loud-mouthed profanity that
some men seem to delight in to such an
extent that even the presence OF ladies
is no restraint upon them. Ut course
no thoughtful man, however wicked
with the least self-respect would be
guilty of such conduct, and We are glad
to say that you very rarely find a man

Republican Convention.

HePuOiCan OOlPSIlLicH.
The Republican Convention of this
County met Monday in the Court
House for the purpose of sending
delegates to the State Convention,
which will meet in Columbia Thursday,
the 2nd instant.
The Convention was organized by
electing Sam Chappell, Chairman, A.
L. Snead, Secretary, and Frank Hix,
Assistant Secretary. The following
delegates were elected to the State
Convention: Henry Kennedy, David
Lyles, Frank Hix; to the Congressional
Convention, Bclton B. Boozer, A. l..
Snead. Calvin Spann; to the Judicial
Convention, Fl. T. Williams, Asa Long
shore, Means. There was not
much spcechirying except in the nomi-
nation of delegates, but the noise was
terrific. There was not a white man in
the Convention,
After adjoul ming Henry Kennedy got
the crowd to wait in front Of the Court
House to hear an explanation from
Frank Hix of the Hannah Church
speech: Kennedy introduced Hix and
said he had made statement at the
barbecue at Hannah Church not salts
factory to the Democrats and wanted
to 'sexplain the situation". Hix said
that the charges made against MIN were
not true; that he said nothing about
burning; what he said was, that there
was no danger of the white peoples not
employing them if they voted the Re-
publican ticket; that the whites can't
get along without their labor; that if
they wele not given employment they
would be compelled to go to stealing to
keep from perishing. He said that
some white man had said he would give
fly bales of cotton to have him killed.
Hi; is quite hero among bis brethren,
and is evidently trying to play the role
of Il martyr prosecuted for his political
opinions.

Republican Movements

H6DuDuCdIl MOVEMENTS
The negroes had big political bar
becue at Hannah's Church, in the South
ern section Of the County, Friday. Over
thirty carcases were prepared, and a
very large crowd was in attendance.
Speeches were made BY Henry Kenne-
dy. Sim Young. Frank Hix and others:
The speeches were mostly of mild
character, though indicating deterni-
nation to make a strong fight for the
State and County. Frank Hix made
the only lncendiary speech. From
what we have learned from one or two
white men WHO were present, he made
most outrageous harangue. He told
the negroes not to be afraid to vote the
Republican ticket by threats that the
whites wouldn't employ them if they
should; that they would be compelled
to employ them. and if they didn't they
knew where the corn-cribs and smoke
houses were and could steal what they
wanted to eat-and could eat the whites
themselves if necessary. So it appears
that the sable Hi1 (Which ought to be
spelled Hicks after bis reverend con-
frere of Florjda) not only encourages
strife, and rogaery, but also has very
decided cannlbalistic tendencies. Hi1's
speech was received with the greatest
enthusiasm and was greeted with shouts
and Yells by the negroes. One negro
in the. audience shouted out, Yes. I
could eat a baby right now" AS fur
ther evidence Of the approval by the
negroes of Hix's harapgue he headed
the list of delegates to the County Con-
vention in their precinct meeting the
next day and was elected a delegate to
the State Convention Monday.
Saturday, while the primary voting
was going on in he Treasurer's Office.
several negroes sat on the rear steps of
the store lately occupied by S. P. Booz-
er, with the evident intention of "spot-
ting" every colored man who voted.
Several white men who vert to the
polls with colored men say that while
they were eager to vote the Democratic
ticket they appeared to be under some
sort of fear; and the presence Of these
spies explains it. The colored Radicals
are bringing the pressure to bear very
strongly on those of their color who are
disposed to affiliate with the Democrat
ic party. Itis important that the whites
should let these colored Democrats un-
derstand at once that they will be fully
protected in their persons and their in
terests.

Two Negroes Killed.

Sunday, the 22nd ult., two negroes,
Dorse and Prue Greer, brothers, were
found dead in Little River few hun
dred yards below FloYds Bridge in this
County, near the Laurens line. The
negroes had been living at Mrs. Nellie
Work mans in Laurens County, and
were missing since the preceding Tues
day night, on which night they are sup
posed to have beer killed. They were
found by their father, who was search
ing for them. One of the negroes was
taken out of the river Monday, and the
other Tuesday. Coroner E. C. Long
shore organized jury composed of FIVE
white and seven colored men, and held
an inquest over the dead bodies. The
Jury were-whites, A. J. S. Langford,
Jno. A. Wallace, W. E. Lorgsbore, Le-
vi Hendrix and James Boozer; colored,
Jno. Spraggins, Taylor Spraggins, AL
len Andrews, Whit Andrews, Antony
Griffin, Mart Pitts and --.
The Coroner examined ten or twelve
negroes and one white man, but could
get no evidence duplicating any one.
One Of the dead negroes had been shot
in two places, and the other in one.
They had then been thrown into the
river with rocks tied to them. The
verdict of the jury was that the deceas-
ed came to their death from gun-shot
wounds by the hands of some person or
persons to the jury unknown.
We do not propose to give any details
of the affair, nor the names of any par
ties concerned: there are officers of the
law whose business it is to find out
these things, and we think they will do
their duty. We have this much to say,
however, that the matter should be
rigidly investigated, and if the negroes
were killed without sufficient cause the
guilty parties should be brought to JUS
tice and held to strict account. This
should be remembered that neither
race nor politics had anything to do
with the killing. We understand that
these negroes, shortly before their dis
appearance, had made an outrageous,
but unsuccessful, attempt upon the hon.
or of a most respectable and highly es=
teemed lady of Laurens County. If
such be the case then they have met q
deserved fate-a fate that awaits every
brute, white or black, who so acts.
