Aiken and COthrar oil Right,

Dispatches to the News and Courier
from Greonville and Wallalla, state that
the Conventions or Sale Day at tho place
unanimously elected delegates to the
Congressional and Judicial Conventions,
who were pledged to support Col. Aiken
for Congress and Col. Cothran for Solicit
tor. This insures the reelection of these
gentlemen who have given entire salts
faction in the discharge of the duties OF
their respective offices during the past
four years. The country is safe in the
hands of such men as Colonel Cothran
and Colonel Aiken. We copy from tho
News md Courier the following In
reference to a meeting which wax hold in
Lexington on Sale Day:
Col. VIM. Wallace, of Columbia, who
is a candidate for Congress from this dis
dress the Convention, and did so, attack
ting Col. Aiken as a Granger, yet an
anti-butter man, as n foe to West Point,
and q man who did not visit his constitu-
ents, and as a Democrat who wanted to
break up his W party.
In conclusion, Col. Wallace said that
he desired to address the Congressional
Convention rs to what was the issue and
who was the best men to represent the
iii trict in the next Congress-, and he
hoped that the delegates would 20 there
untrammelled.
Mr.. G.. S. Bradford moved that the
nominees for delegates be required to
declare their choice as between Col. Aiken
and Col. Wallace,
This motion was ably seconded by Gen.
Quattlebaum who offered a substitute,
which was adopted, that the vote be by
ballot. He said that lie was certain that
two-thirds Of his township were in favor
of Col. Aiken for Congressman, a Con-
vention Of this county, but II few months
since, had endorsed Col. Aikon's course
in Congress. That Convention had said
nothing condemnatOry of Col. Aikcn's
lasts for butter or oleomargarine nor his
letterto the Charleston Nc1Us and Courier
in which hcSdeclared his belief that the
Democratic and Republican parties had
outlivod their usefulness. He thought
Aiken had made a good Congressman.
Maj. D. T. Barr said he was in favor
of Col. Aiken's denomination. He was
a good Democrat in his opinion.
Mr.. Bradford's motion was then adopt
ed.
The following delegates, all Aiken men
were elected to the Congressional Con
venrion D. j. Motifs, j. w. Drehel
and ID. T. Bars, and as a%ltornates MessrS
w. II. Willingham, G.. A. Goodwin anc
J. s. Dorick.

VIM. III. Parker, Esq,

For the first time, Mr.. Parker has allow
ed his name to be presented to the people
of Abbeville County for public office. lie
is a modest man-has not thrust his name
forward-isno c~lectioncrer and desires the
people to consider his claim solely on the
ground Of merit. Mr.. Parker is compc-
tent to discharge the duties of any office
he would accept. A graduate of College
and an excellent business man, he long
discharged satisfactorily the important
duties Of Commissioner in Equity for
this Comfy. He is a good lawyer, brave
conscientious and perfectly trustworthy
in every relation. But more than all he
is an honest man and Christian gentle
man, the soul of honor, truth and tidcli-
ty. AT this time we need precisely such
mer in public office. AbbeVille will
maintain her old-tlme high standard by
elocting William Henry Parker.

Our Candidates,

Thinking that some facts in reference to
tho candidates for political prefermcnt in
Abbeville County may not be unintercst-
ing to our readers, We have concluded to
offer the following scattering remarks for
what thew are worth:
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1880-07-01

increased to 269; Palais d'Industrie
had last year $50 lanterns, but now it
has over 3C0. The shah Of Persia has,
within eight months, ordered twenty
lanterns. The Jostinny Dyor Of st.
Petersburg began with eight lanterns,
and now uses over 100. Many public
places of both Russian capitals and
other large cities are lighted with the
Jablochkoff candles.
While the electrician Of Menlo
park continues to surprise the world
with his numerous curious inventions,
leaving his electric lantern in en-
bryo, the modest Russian inventor
has already monopolized the electric
light in the Old World. What a sur
prise it would be if some enterprising
company should introduce the Jab-
lochkoff candle in New York, and in
Menlo park tool

English. ~OrIndinna.

The democratic candidate for vice
president went naturally to the state
of Hendricks, Voorhees, and Melon
aid, and the honor could not have
fallen on a better mar than VIM. II.
English. Prior to the war he was ac-
tive and prominent in politics, and
achieved a national reputation as a
member of congress from 1853 to 1861.
He has been a successful lawyer, and
afterwards one of the leading bankers
and business men of the state, besides
holding state positions of political
prominence. He is a resident of In
dianapolis, where he is noted for the
liberal use he makes Of his great
wealth, and his enterprise as a citizen.
His nomination will strengthen the
national and state ticket in Indiana
and affords a reasonable certainty thai
the October election in hat state viii
result in a great democratic victory
Mr.. English was in the dark horse
category, but was loyal to Governor
Hendricks, and did nothing to inter
fere with his aspirations for the nom
nation.

The Richest Reer Rreuer.

New York Cor. Cincinnati Gszette.l
The amountof lager aud ale brewed
in the United States last year was
wl0,OC0,GO0 barrels, of which New
York produced one-third. The above
amount is equal to $4,000 a month.
which is nearly $4,000 barrels a day.
One-third Of this is made in New
York, and is chiefly consumed in the
summer time at our marine resorts.
The lager beer brewers are rapidly be-
coming an immense guild of wealth.
They number nearly 10 that is, in.
GLIDING the suburhs-some being al
most ~mllliOnaires, while 9TH
ers are struggling to escape
debt. 1t is an interesting fact in this
connection that the American brew
ers carried off the prize at the Paris
exposition, thus throwing all the Cor
man competitors in the shade. David
Jones, the Keeps bay malster, sup
plies more lager beer brewers than
any other mar in the trade, and this
has made him the richest man. Da-
vid is a bachelor, and lives in elegant
style at the Clarendon hotel, Of which
he is proprietor. He is also a men,
Der Of the Union club, and, for a man
past three score, leads a gay and easy
life. He drives down town in a hand
some establishment, and his name on
change is one Of acknowledged
strength. His wealth is estimated at a
half dozen millions, and hence il is not
surprising that he is at prosecution by
a loVe-lorn damsel for breach of mat
ri monial promise.
