"our informant, who toll, us atc ut the
senior proprietor of the Anderson INrELL1-
oENcEn losing his watermelon crop betting
on Grant, was in error. We are glad to
know this, and can assure the old matt
that 1t took an awful amount OF sw rariug
TO convince us that he had done 80 foolish
thing, especially as every good, sound
Democrat in the country knew that Grant
conld be too easily defeated by the 'unter-
rified,' and that there was no such good
luck in storc for Us as his nomination.
Garfield will be defeated, however, and 90
Fhe old man has won half crop from
his neighbors the next handsomest thing he
can do Is to invite us up to get away with
the melons. we join YOU with pro.
viso. Columbia Register. And what is the
proyiso? iaEriii
Mrs. Albert Baker, nee Miss Eliza Kay,
died very suddenly at the residence of her
husband, in Central, on Monday morning
last. She was Of delicate constitution, but
for several weeks Immediately preceding
her death she had enjoyed unusually good
health, and on Monday morning got up as
usual and prepared breakfast, and partook
Of tho meal with more than usnai, relish,
but before IL o'clock she was corpse, lav-
ing died of hemcrrhsge of the lungs. Her
remains were brought to shis place on Tues
day morning and conveyed to Mountain
Creek Church, where they were consigned
to their final resting place in the graveyard
adjacent, after impressive funeral services
She was an excellent lady, and had many
relatives and friends in this County who
mourn her death.
The Columbia correspondent of the Nc,rs
and Cb,irier sends the following bit of news
to that paper under date of the 18th inst. !:
"A proposition emanating from one of the
county ohairnlen of this Congressional dis
sAaSs AAtao AS-tSiy CScli AiitQc w tIe
of the other counties composing the district,
suggesting That the convention for the third
Congressional district be held at Abbeville
on the 9th Of July The matter was dis
cussed informally by number of the chair
men, but without agreeing upon any, date
or place for holding the convention. It has
been suggested hers that August will be
early enough TO '1io.ninato Co,1presr--,er,
and that Newberry from it's central loca-
ton, would be the proper place for the con-
vention to meet. This idea will be presen-
ted in due time and will probably prevail"
So far US the time sor holding the eonyen-
ton is concerned, we agree entirely with
tina suggestion that 1t should not be- called
to meet earlier than August, but as to the
plate of meeting we do not favor either of
the places mentioned, Abbeville is more
central than Newberry. but Hodges Is more
central than Abbeville.
