TIE PRIMARY PLAN.

We would direct attention to the rules for
conducting primaries as adopted by Lexington
and Union counties, published on the first
page of this issue. The Democratic EXecI-
tive Committee having ordered an election by
which the Democratic voters of the county
shall decide as to the manner of making nom-
nations, We have deemed it proper to print,
at this time, the rules adopted by one or more
counties, in order that the voters might fully
understand the manner of making nomina-
tions by the primary System. Of course, it
is not claimed that the rules of either of these
counties are applicable to York, should the
primary plan be adopted in this county. They
are printed merely as guide, and as the
most practicable method of giving our readers
an opportunity to clearly understand the ope-
ration of the system. Such changes as would
he suggested by the surroundings would neces-
sarily have to be made to suit the exigencies
in York, and these could be determined here
after.
In this connection we would remind the vo-
ters tl.at the Executive Committee desire all
the Democratic Clubs to reorganize on Satur-
day next, the oath instant, and elect delegates
to the County Convention which will meet on
Saturday, August 2lst, and also to elect one
of the three managers to conduct the election
ION the question Of Primary or Convention) to
be held on the 7th Of August.
The Convention to meet on the 21st Of Au-
gust will select delegates to the Congressional
and Judicial Conventions, and it will also be
authorized and empowered to consider and de-.
termine such matters as-may be deemed for
the best interest Of the party.
The election on Saturday, August 7th, will
be to determine by majority vote of all Demo"
Gratis who voted the Democratic ticket in 1876
or 1878, whether nominations shall be made
by the Convention or the Primary system. AS
the Executive Committee will have to declare
the result according to the majority Of votes
cast, it is important that all who feel an inter"
est in the question should express their prefer.
ence by voting, and not afterwards complain
over the consequences of their own indiffer.
ence. All Democrats, whether members OF
Clubs or not, will be permitted and are urged
to vote upon this question. 1t is desirable to
have fun expression Of the voice Of the peo.
pie OH the subject.

in an adjournment to the nearest barroom in

to arrest the pair, which he declined to DO,
but said it should be done in the event of

made his way to his Office, was forced to re-

three thousand dollars. No proceedings
whatever were taken against young Cash for
his cowardly attack upon Mr.. Pegues, and he
and his father returned to Cash's depot, open

We understand that d. w. Dinges,
an excellent citizen of Dekalb county
will probably be a candidate for the
Senate from this District. But he
must be as low on the tax question as
they make 'em in this Senatorial Dis
trict, if he expects to hold his own
with our county man, Capt. Duncan.
Manchester Guardian.
1t is generally conceded that Dekalh
county is entitled to the prerogative of
having the Senator this year, but we
presume she will not insist on it to eX-
tremities if any other county should
offer an acceptable man. We under
stand that Warren has one or two as
pirants tied out awaiting the suspicious
moment of being brought in and sad
died. We are not acquainted with
either Mr.. Dinges or Capt. Duncan,
but will support the nominee if he is
fair expression of the party whether
he be from Coffee, Dekalb, Cannon,
or Warren.
We presume the people will look
more to the man and his measures
than to his place of residence.

The Exposition Has Opened.

We propose to give a brief synopsis |
of the opening ana progress of the
great exposition now going on at Nash
vile in honor Of her 100 years exist
ence, for the benefit of those who can
not attend person.
Saturday April "a, 1880, was the
Tooth anniversary Of the city of Nash
vile.
The dawn Of the day was announced
by the firing of 100 guns from Capitol
Hill.
At about 8 o'clock a. m. grand
procession was formed consisting of all
who would enter the line either as mil-
itary companies, societies, or citizens
mounted, in wagons, carriages and ON
foot. 1t took the procession one hour
and a quarter to pass given point.
On reaching the capitol grounds the
vast throngs ofpeople were addressed
first by DIR. I. A. Atchison, President
of the Centennial Board of Directors.
Then DIR, Geo. S. Blackie read the Gen.
tennial Prize Poem by Mrs. Anna G.
Bowser, which we will givenext week.
Then followed an eloquent address
by Gov. A. S. Marks, which clearly
indicated the name and fame of Tenn
essee to the rank of the "Volunteer
State" as well as the State that had
furnished the men and measures
that saved the Nation from des-
truction in the second war with
England, the Southwest from the dep
relations of the Indians and Texas
from Mexican anarchy and misrule, as
well as harvested her into the folds of
the Union, mentioning as the chief a.
gents in these grand results the names
of jackson, Carroll, Coffee, Crockett,
Houston and Polk.
Next came Hon. John M. Bright,
the orator of the day, who delivered an
eloquent address on "Donelson and the
Pioneers" After which w. H. Meals.
ter read the History of Nashville,
written by Arson Nelson. Then came
Rev. Nelson Merry, colored, who made
a brief address to represent his race or
that occasion. He spoke two truths
if no more, 1st that none who were
there hundred years ago were there
then, 2, that none who were there ther
would be there at thenext Centennial
In view of these facts, we would ad
wise all our friends who have any no
ton of seeing the exposition not to pu
it off till the next one.
The Exposition building was throw
open at 7 o'clock p m. and among tn,
addresses delivered was one by Gov
Williams, of Indiana, who said the rea
son he is not in his suit of blue jeans
is that it is a little too warm down her
at this season for such goods.
