a Family Joint Discussion.
Congressman Aiken's Eccentricities-Eis Re.
markable Speech at Townville.
Anderson Intclligencer.

On last Saturday afternoon the cit
zens of Townville and vicinity, who
had attended the Grange meeting
during the morning, reassembled for
the purpose of hearing some political
speeches. Maj George W. Merit,
President Of Fork Democratic Club,
No. 2, presided, and introduced as
the first and principal speaker for the
afternoon Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, the
nominee of the Democratic party of
the Third District for Congress. Col.
Aiken spoke almost entirely upon
National politics. He gave his rea-
sons for preferring Hancock to Garfield
for President; and arraigned the Re-
publican nominee for the lack of moral
courage and an undue love for money.
He expressed the opinion that if Gar
field should be elected, our people will
never see another Presidential cleo
tion, but that the country will drift
rapidly into some consolidated power
at Washington. lie complimentcd
Garfeld's ability, but said he is
totally unreliable, and that his elcc-
ton would forebode the greatest mis-
fortune to our government. Col.
Aiken then arraigued the Northern
Democrats for insincerity and preju.
dice towards the South. He said that
the North only allowed the South q
very small proportion Of the appro-
priations for rivers and harbors, and
that they had repeatedly refused to
restore the soldiers of the Mexican
war living in the South to the pension
lists. He arraigned them for main
tanning a high tariff, and said that
the better class Of people in the North
were generally Republicans. That

,aore congenia! TO his tastes than the
Democrats He Was unwilling for
the South, Which composes The greater
portion Of The Democratic par:v to be
controlled and ignored by the pinc-i-
~. Col. Aiken claimed that the
elections ia the Northern cities are
controlled largely by use of money
and by the exercise of the '#"o"y

trouble the Democrats will encounter
in carryiny the Presidential election

Aiken closed his speech by saying that
il there is q Democrat in South Caro-
ina he is one from head TO foot.

The Radicals have not nominated
a State ticket. Even they could
not stand the array of miserable
hacks that were presented to them.
If the Executive Committee can get
men of any sort of decency and re-
spectability to 60 on the ticket they
will make nomination otherwise
not. The probabilities are that
they cannot find any such, and that
there will be denominations. They
will. however, bide their time and
if they see any chance of success
they will nominate. They have put
their Electors in the field and will
have candidates for Congress in
some of the Districts. The Demo
Gratis must see that they are routed,

Col. Aiken and the Northern
Democracy.

Col. Aiken and the Northern
Democracy.
Col. Aiken has broken out again !;
in speech in Anderson County a
few days ago, as reported in the
Mtelligencer, he took occasion to
make q bitter attack on the Mort
ern Democracy. This seems to be
sort Of hobby with our Congress-
man. At the big Democratic meet
ing at Newberry in the campaign of
1876 he spoke the same sentiments
as are contained in his Townville
speech, and reiterated them in his
famous letters year ago in the
Charleston NeWs and Courier. What
object Col. Aiken has in view in his
TRADES against the Northern Dem
ocracy it is impossible to conceive.
His course is certainly not calcula-
ted to help the National Democracy
in it's fight for the Presidency. If
Col. Aiken con say nothing good of
our Northern allies he ought to
have the good sense and prudence
to keep silent on the subject. If
the Northern Democrats are not
what they ought to be; if they en-
tcrtain erroneous political views;
if they are not friendly to the South,
they are certainly more in accord
with the sentiments and interests of
the Southern people than the Re-
publicans are, North or South. It
is poor policy to be squabbling and
qnarreling in the face of common
enemy. If there are evils to be
corrected within the National party
it will be time enough to do it after
the party gets into power. In the
meantime unity, harmony and good
faith between the two sections is
absolutely necessary for victory.

rout. As it is, the people Of the State
are left to make their own fight against
the liveliest Radical campaign that I:e
ingenuity and experience Of Senator
Blaine can suggest or the Unlimited

State election. which is on the 18th,
cxcites increasing interest here The
g.oersl opipion is that the Radical
majority will not be more than half
what it was in 1876. and with such a
result the Democracy will of course be
mnre than satisfied.
The Post Master of New York City
has issued the following to his en-
ployees The order of the President,
to the effect that 'spo assessments for
political purposes on the officers or

WASHINGTON, D. c.,
Sept. lst. 1880.

Sept. lst, 1880.
The better class of Southern men
residing here, whether as private cit
liens, or as Congressman were very
slow to make the acquaintance Of
General Butler Partly from a de-.
sire to find how a bad New En-
glander appeared at close quarters,
and partly because of a wish to pro.
mote harmony and good feeling
among the people of all sections, l
think, several excellent Southern gen.
tlemen made advances to the General.
Some who knew him before the war,
renewed their acquaintance. All of
them knew him after time. Every
Southerner will bear me out in saying
that in their social relations with the
General they were charmed with his
frankuess and courtesy, astonished at
the amount of general Information and
impressed with the idoa that he per-
haps, more clearly than any other
Radical, appreciated the necessities
and possibilities of the country, es-
pecially of the South. 1t is my own
own knowledge of the General, in
some respects more intimate than
that Of others, which compels re-
joicing at his return to the Demo-
cratic party as announced 10 his
speech Of Saturday night last. The
prejudice against him wears away
with personal acquaintance. So far
as his political course is concerned,
he has uot been worse than the other
men who have been Radical leaders
for ten years, but simply less hypo-
critic.

The Radical State Convention.

The Radical State Convention
met in Columbia the 2nd instant
Delegates were present from every
County except Horny. There were
contesting delegations from Beau
fort headed respectively by Smalls
and Whipper-the Smalls delega'
ton was seated. There we're also
contesting delegations from Union,
one headed by the notorious June
Mobley, the other by a fellow named
Cannon-neither delegation was
seated. After organizing by elect
ing E. ". NJ. 11ackey, of Charles
ton. Chairman, and n. Noah, OF
Columbia. Secretary, the Convex
ton went into secret session to dis
cuss the advisability of nominating
a State ticket. The white dele
gates generally opposed the nonnl-
nation of a ticket.
The Convention reassembled the
Sd. The Committee to whom was
referred the business of nominating
a State ticket made majority and
minority report; the majority was
in favor of a State ticket, and pre-
sented the following: For Cover
nor, J. Winsmith, white, OF Spar
tanbarg; Lieutenant Governor, I.

urer, J. H. Livingstone, white, Of
Orangeburg; Adjutant and Inspec,
tor-General, G. c.. Turner, white, OF
Spartanburg ; Attorney General, ".
r. Marshall, white, of Charleston.
The minority report opposed the
nomination of any ticket. Elliott
and Taft spoke in favor of the mi
nority report, and Straker for the
majority. Johnson, Of Sumter,
wanted a State ticket, but couldn't
sustain such q ticket as the Com
mittee had recommended. The two
reports were referred to the State
Executive Committee for such &C.
ton as they may deem fit hereafter.
The following Presidential Elect
ors were nominated: At Large, T.

The Work Of the Campaign.

We would not encourage any
undue political excitement OF any
unnecessary agitation Of politics.
It would be much better for the
people if they could pass quietly
through the fail. attending tc their
business interests and deyoting
their leisure moments to the ease
and rnjoyment Of the home hreside.
But this is out of the question.
There are two alternatives present
ed to US: 1st. Let politics alone
and allow the State and County to
pass back into the hands of the
ignorant and corrupt Radicals : or,
2nd. Go promptly to work and
make every exertion and sacrifice
to retain the fruits of our victory
in 1876. There can no longer be
any doubt that the Radicals will
make a hard fight in this State to
carry its electoral vote and to win
back several of the Counties that
have been wrested from their grasp.
In these efforts they will receive the
moral and material aid of the Na-
tional Republican party. All the
talk about the North's not sending
money to South Carolina is de,
ception and a snare, intended to
lull the Democrats into a feeling of
security At the recent meeting OF
the National Committee in New
York the members Of the Commit
tee, in open session, spoke in oppo-
sition to sending funds to aid the
Southern Republicans but this
open session was followed immedi.
ately by secret session; that was
the real business meeting, the other
being only designed for effect.
The negroes in this State, GER
tainly in this County, are as thor
oughly organized as they were in
1876, and it will require just as hard
work, or harder, to overcome them.
The Democrats should set about
their work at once, and earnestly
and vigorously urge on the fight.
If not sufficiently organized the
organization should be completed
at once, and the campaign Of 1875
should be repeated with increased
ferVor and zeal. We have two
months for the campaign, and there
is an immense amount of work to
be done in that time. Every Dem
ocrat should stand ready to do his
part. If we be united, earnest and
self,sacriicing we will win the vic
tory; but, if, on the other hand, we
be divided, Indifferent and disposed
to take our ease we will meet with
certain defeat-and such a defeat
as no true son of South Carolina
can contemplate without shudder.

THE MILK

Of The COW is by custom preferred to
that Of all other animals. and enters
largely into the diet of both the infant
and adult. BY analysis cows milk is
found to consist of water, butter,
casein, sugar and fixed and earthly
salts.
The nutritive properties Of milk de-
pend on the com bination of these ali
mentary substances, which may be
classified as follows {:
lst. Cascin or curhs: the nitro
gen3us or plastic ingredient which is
subservicnt to the development Of the
flesh ard organs of the body.
I'd. The fatty portion in butter and
saccharine portion he sugar Of milk.
The combustible substances which are
required for the respiration and fatten-
ing Of the body.
3D. Water and the saline ingre.
dients: for the purposes Of tho liquid
condition and the solution Of sub,
staoces.
THE CHARACTER OF THE MILK
depends much upon the food npon
which the animal is fed, and unless
stall fed COWS arc fed exclusively on
grass their milk will be almost always
acid.
Cows fed upon cabbnee, tnrnips an d
brewerS' Tres give IA milk uaft for the
use Of infants, as it causes diarrhna
ard cutaneous eruplious. Nothing
contributes more to maintain the good
quality and quantity Of the milk than
the scrupulous cleanliness Of the shed
or stall.
When refuse matter is not promptly
removed, the milk has bad taste and
odor Of which it is difficult to deprive
it. Milk is great absorbcr of all
odors and gases, therefore it is ne
cessary that it should never be kept in
