Edaor Herald:
We are on rising ground at Litchfield.
The old stOrehouse once occupied by Mr.
Charles Wartham on the west side Of
public square il being torn down to-day
To give place To IA new stOrehojIse, tO he
put up and occupied by our genial and
enterprising townsman, Mr.. Jnu. Bi~h-
op, in the dry goods business. IL look,
like removing old land marks To tare
down those relics of the past generation,
but this i progressive age you know,
and business il business, and dear AZ are
the weathcr-beaten sides and moscow

buildings To the first settlers" they

enterprising spirit Of the present.
WESTWARD the course ri empire takes its

Ii was suggested by "IOung Ameri-
can" to-day that "two or three first
class funerals would give the spirit of
enterprise new impetus at Litchfield,"
but this Is his suggestion and not ours.
But speaking of relics there was one
found in the old stOrehouse mentioned
above, which has awakened as great an
interest in the community a. would the
finding of an Egyptian mummy, as an
Assyrian sarcofagus with an epitaph in
hyeroglyphics. IL is an old minute or
record book of the first Baptist church
organized in the county. Ii contains
the record of the institution of the
church OH Beaver Dam creek in the
year 1904, with thecreed or confession"
of the church, and the minutes of every
church meeting till February =, 1850, a
period of forty-six years. The record of
the organization has the signatures of
Alexander McDougal and Isaac Ed
wards, and the first minutes contain the
record of the election of Mr.. Shaw as
Deacon, VIM. Brown a. singing Clerk,
and James Hornhack as Writing Clerk
The creed of the church is short, com

generally.
Isaac HOOver's school at Sarvess'

soon.
Miss Lizzie French, of Woodward's

her school, she will be compelled to
cross one mile of backwater, twice a
day. n neat little boat has been built
for her benefit, and Eli Chinn, her pu-
pill, will be Oarsman. Success to you,
Miss Lizzie.
Farm work has been retarded consid-
erably by the recent heavy rains. Oat
sowing had become in part the order of
the day, but the general inclination of
the farmer seems bent on the prOduc-
tiOn OF large crop of tobacco this sea-
son. We never knew of greater ef-
fort being made though the probable
disasters are yet to encounter, and the
immense crop now contemplated may
consequently be curtailed to a more
reasonable bound. Tobacco growing,
when carried to the extent .it is, in this
country, may very appropriately be de
nominated the mother of our baneful
credit system, and source of the much
folly and pride existing among our peo-
pie.

The Local Press OF Kentucky

Since the sbeginning Of the current
year, quite a number of Kentucky
newspapers have been enlarged and
otherwise improved in appearance BY
new type and power presses. The To-
cal newspapers of Kentucky will now
compare favOrably with those Of any
State west Of the Alleghanies, not only
in the handsome appearance they pre-
sent, but in the ability with which
I they are conducted. This improve
ment in the press of Kentucky, Is, a.
We take it, responsive To the general
Improvement in business, and especial
" the fair prices farm products have
commanded during the six months lust
past.
The people of any locality promote
their own interest by encouraging the
local newspaper. There are two ways
in which this may he done. BY taking
the paper and paying for it: and bs
using IL as an advertising medium. II
a man has anything to sell that any
body else wants let him advertise il in
his local paper. If anybody wants To
buy thing that anybody else wants 10
sell, let him Use the columns Of his
county paper to make his wants
known. There IL no cheaper or quick
er way to accomplish the object. We
venture to add that the purchaser will
eXpend three-fOurths Of the money he
receives in making further improve
ments in his paper
a handsomely printed and welI-eOn-
Quoted newspaper il credit To the
county in which il is printed. II serves
to bring its advantages, its business and
its public men into notice, sand i'm many
ways adds to the influence, prosperity
and happiness of its people. Coriagtoa

The Philadelphia North american,
which is perhaps the oldest daily in
America, and is leading Republican
journal of Pennsylvania, closes an edito-
rial on the Utica Convention with the
following plain words:
"From this day forward the most cred
ulous of men will scarcely venture to
place the candidacy of Gen. Grant in
any other rank than that of bitter strug-
gle on his behalf, aided by all the ma.
chinery and power that can be controlled
by partisan advocates, familiar with all
the devices of political wire-pulling. 1t
is time to be done with the tomfoolery
about demands of the people and uni
versal acclaim. It may be sad break
ing of idols. but none the less must it be
admitted that Gen. Grant has thus far
failed to develop a particle of political
strength, in the present canvass, that has
not been manufactured for him at large
cost and with considerable risk"
Against such plain truths SO strongly
expressed it will be very difficult for the
ex-Presidcnt to procure third term.
We have no doubt that majority of the
Republicans themselves are opposed to
Grant. The wire-pullers are neverthe-
less manipulating the conventions for
him, and will doubtless be able to nomi-
nate him. To elect him afterwards, how
ever, it will be necessary to get the
united Republican vote, which seems
now to be impossible.

Four INcEND1ARIEs CAgeHT.--A
special dispatch to the Charleston News
and Courier from Greenville, dated
March IL, says: a preliminary trial Of
Fletcher Mattox, Bill Dodson, Pleasant
Adams and Rich Bates, all colored,
charged with arson in burning the
Academy Of Music in this city December
7th last, was had before Trial Justice
Hawthorne this afternoon, and the guilt
of the above mentioned parties and Joe
Burton, another negro who is still at
large, established beyond question of
doubt. Dodson at his own request was
allowed to make full confession in open
court, giving every detail, from the first
inception OF the foul plot to its consum-
nation. The evidence is thorough, cor
roborative and incontrovertible. The
case was beautifully worked up by Detec
tive John Curtin, of Pinkerton's force,
assisted by our jealous and inde(atigable
Mayor Townes. The guilty wretchcs
we're remanded to Jail to await their trial
at tile approaching term Of court, when
they will most surely receive the death
sentence. Considerable indignation is
felt, but the law will be allowed to take
its course.

matter has transpired. Our citizens will
doubtless watch the proceedings with
much interest, for every one of them
would be glad to see the remains of Mr..
Calhoun rest in the cemetery Of the vii
lage in which he lived. It's sentiment
which it is pardonable to indulge, that
great men should rest in death in the
localities which honored and were at
tachcd to them in life, and where they
resided during the days Of their great
ness. While we dislike to see Charleston
deprived of the honor of possessing the
resting place of Mr.. Calhoun, (for
Charleston always honored and loved
him. in obedience TO the sentiment we
have expressed above, we should like to
see the remains of Carolina's greatest
statesman placed to rest in the quiet but
cultured town of Pendleton by the side
of his wife and children, and near to the
sleeping remains of many Of his neigh
bors and friends.

Pennsylvania has for years been under
the domination of the Republican party,
and that party has been completely un-
der the dictation of the tribe Cameron.
Some time ago Don Cameron, the Grand
Sachem of the tribe, issued his edict that
the vote of that State is to be cast for
Grant for President in the nominating
Convention, aud things were accordingly
arranged by holding an early State Con-
vention and pledging the delegates ac-
cordingly. Since this little manuver the
Independent portion of the Republican
press of the Keystone State has been
commenting severely upon the third term
movement, and to q considerable extent
upon Gen. Grant himself. Cameron is
said to have met several of these editors
in Washington recently, and gave them
timely warning as to what is before
them, by saying: "You have been pre-
pairing nice feast of crow for yourselves.
After the Ord of June you shall eat it."
Mr.. Cameron seems to be unmindful Of
the fact that there are two sides to this
question. After the nomination there
comes an election, and, if he succeeds in
nominating Grant, it may turn out that
he will have prepared mess of crow for
himself, which he will have to eat after
the End of November, for third term
Republican nomination is by no means
equivalent to an election.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1880-03-18

satisfactory.
DR.. Wise, of Williamsburg, twice re-
fused to say whether he would or would
not pledge himself to support the Demo
cratic nominee for President; but finally
said that as between Grant and Tilden,
he was in favor of the former, but as be-
tween Hancock and Grant, he was in
favor of Hancock. He was followed in
the same spirit by Messrs. Groncr, of
Norfolk, and stovall, of Henry county,
who distinctly agreed with DR.. Wise in
opposing any call for State Convention
which should include only all who desire
the election of Democratic President.
Mr.. Stoyall said in a prolonged appeal
that it was time for Virginia to lead a
great progress of the South. He said
there was on one side the dead carcass of
the Democracy, on the other the living
force of great party, and it became Vir-
ginia to be a part of the living, and not
of the dead. The upshot is that the
Readjusters who are members of the
committee are entirely unwilling to take
part in any Democratic or Conservative
movement, and that they are holding
aloof for further developments.
This indicates lack of union among
the Democrats of the old Dominion,
which may transfer the State from the
solid South Democratic column to the
Republican column in the next Presiden-
tial election. The Readjusters, with the
Republican vote, carried the State of
Virginia last Fall, and it is possible that
they may be able to do SO in the Presi-
Dental election this Fall.

The Rochester IN. ~ Union hits the
periodical bloody shirt news, to which
the country is treated just before the
elections each alternate Fall, very stag
gering blow in the following propitious
and sensible paragraph:
"Is it not pretty near time for the
'Stalwart Republican statesmen and
newspapers to manufacture and grind out
Southern outrages' for the consumption
of their credulous brethren at the North
whose voices are governed by their pref
udices? Since the close of the elections
of 1879 in November last-for one, two,
three, four months, the North has had a
rest. There has been great negligence
among the Republican leaders in this
matter. If continued there is danger
that even credulous Northern Republi-
cans may begin to realize the fact that
Southern outrages' are creations of the
imagination, and that they have for years
about election time been duped by them.
If something be not done soon to fire the
Northern hearteand keep up sectional
animosity, the Republican cause will
certainly suffer-"
The Union will no doubt see very soon
an abundance Of newspaper matter de-
failing the utter lawlessness and cruelty
of the Southern people, but it may con-
sole the public that this state of things,
which will only exist on paper, will not
be kept up any longer than is necessary
to cover the Presidential election. We
imagine that the intelligent people of the
North are too much accustomed to this
old campaign dodge of unprinciplcd Re-
publicans to be deceived by it any
longer.
