Much has been eaid in the South Caro-.
Linn newspapers about restored harmony
in the Democratic party, and the General
acquiescence in the result of tho recent
Democratic State Convention. These as.
uuranres loo!s well on paper, and sound
we'll in tho ears Of the Hampton men,
bnt there 10 not the slightest particle Of
truthin them. A. brief visit to the upper
counties will convince the most obtnse
observer that the discontinue of the Gary
faction by the State HOUSE ring has wild.
ened the brench between the two factions.
While the colnsel Of the more r.udent
of Gary's friends may carry como weight

the obnoxipua fence, law, which protects
the rich and prevents the poor from rajs-
ing or owning cattle. The hardship of
the latter. .,is most seriously felt In the
mountain di triots. Under the old cattle
