the neighborhood of those cities.
Of the gross through freight paid
from all points north to Knoxville,
the share of the East Tennessee
road is in the proportion of 1877 to
800, or about one fifth of the whole.
On 1000-ton lots the carload rate
from this point would be little, if
any, over ST per ton. The East
Tennessee part of this would be
about 81 per ton. No road in this
country does better with shippers of
equal amount over its line. A car
load of coffee, say about 10000
pounds, from New York to Knoxs
vile costs the merchant here 500,
or not quite one>half cent per
pound. Some years ago it would
have cost two or three cents per
pound.
If Chattanooga and Atlanta have
so much the advantage of Knoxs
vile merchants, in freights, why is
it that they sell goods in large
quantities, in Dalton, in forty
miles of Chattanooga, and fn Geor-
gia even far up the Atlanta and
Charlotte Air Line, and some even
extend their trade to Mississippi
and Texas?

composing the organization have set a
worthy example to their fellow-citizens
Of other portions of the State. Who
will be first to follow this example?

R. B. Elliott, in the nomination of cam
didates at the Chicago Convention, said
that if any candidate goes into the COM
ing canvass relying upon the vote of any
Southern State for his election he would
fail. He said: "We may put the votes
in the ballot-box, but we are powerless
to have them counted for the nominee" +"
In the first part of what he said Elliott
was perfectly correct. No Republican
can carry any Southern State, but Elliott
seeks to furnish as campaign thunder a
statement which he cannot substantiate
and which facts do not warrant. South
Carolina went Democratic in 1876, when
the Republicans had the boards of can
vassers and managers of election. 1t is
certain that they counted all the Repub-
lican votes which were put in the boxes,
and, in some instances, it is believed a
few thousand extra votes were enume'
rated for the Republican side. The ex-
cuse lies in something else than an unfair
count. The trouble to the Radicals is
that the Democrats out-vote them in the
Southern States, and they had as we'll
own up and quit wasting their time in
politics. Republicanism in the South
has buried itself forever in its own cor
ruption and venality.

EARLY or Late Nominations.

In an editorial upon this subject the
Neaos and Courier says:
We are confident that the action of the
State Convention will receive the ap-
proval of the Democracy of the State.
The Committee on Resolutions, consist
ing of one delegate from each county,
reported resolution in favor of early
nominations, embodying request to the
State Committee Ito open the State can
vass at such tine as, in their judgment,
will least disturb the agricultural in
terests of the State" The vote upon the
motion to substitute the minority report,
in favor of August nominations, was 67
to Sc, and the majority report was adop-
ted by vote of 81 to So. A majority Of
counties and of delegates were in favor
of immediate nominations. 1t was bold
ly asserted that the majority vote in the
Convention did not represent majority
of the Democratic vote, but the returns
of the last State election tell different
tale. Ranging the several counties for
and against June nominations, and TAX
ing as the basis of the calculation the
vote for Hampton in 1878, the result is
40 followa.

TROUBLE IN HAMBURG.--Augusta,
Co., June 4th.-Monday afternoon sew
eral women living in Hamburg were
summoned before the Intendant and war
dens to testify in regard to a row which
occurred in the house where they resided.
One named Sally Shinall, a white wo-
man, who recently lived in Augusta, du.
ring the progress of the trial several
times made use Of abusive language in
regard to the defendant. She was finally
adiudged in contempt and ordered to be
put in the lookup. She was taken in
charge by Creighton Matheny, the town
marshal, who started with her to the
guardhouse. After proceeding with her
a short distance the officer struck her on
the head with club. He and his friends
say that she resisted violently, and he
was obliged 10 strike her. The friends of
the woman say that she did not resist,
out merely sat down on the ground and
refused to 60, and that thereupon the
officer struck her violent blow on the
side of the head with his club. She was
carried to her home, and died this after
noon about 2 o'clock. Trial Justice Get
sen summoned a jury, and held an in.
quest. A post mortem examination was
held, and the surgeon determined that
the woman came to her death from the
blow. The jury have not yet returned a
verdict. Matheny was arrested and car
ried to Aiken. The Woman's brother
threatens to kill him on sight.-Spcciat

4 Miraculous Escape.

WALTERBoRo', June Am accident
and most remarkable escape from immi-
nent danger happened to our worthy
sheriff, Robert Black, Esq, while cross.
ing Buck Head Cau>eway, twelve miles
from our town. on Sunday last. Return
ing home with his wife and three little
ones in his buggy, in crossing bridge
his horse refused to pass over hole in it
and begun backing. The structure being
very steep, ridiculously so, facilitated the
movement of the horse, when in trice
the vehicle and its occupants were pre-
cipitated into the creek, the horse re-
naming perched with his fore legs on the
bridge dangling above the terror struck
family. More remarkable still, this po-
sition was held by the horse not only
till the party could get out of the buggy,
but for the space of half-hour at least,
as MIR. Black thinks. For one Of his
feet getting entangled in some way he
cannot we'll account for, he had to ask
the assistance of friend who luckily was
crossing the bridge at the same time, and
who, after extricating Mr.. B., who was
not able to walk from the injury to his
ankle in the fall, next cut the harness
from the horse. After all this the friend
went for assistance on foot to a farm
house three-quarters of mile distant,
and returned with assistance, all afoot, to
within one hundred feet of the bridge
before the horse fell from sheer ex-
haustion. The time, therefore, which
the animal sustained himself by his fore
legs and jaws, by pressing his under;i avs
on the bridge, is not over-calculated we
think. 1t is singular, too, no one was
iolted from the buggy in the fall nor in
jured in the slightest, save Mr. Black,
whose ankle was wrenched in some way,
and though painful, not at all seriously
injured while the horse, in making the
amends for the mishap by not falling on
his master, received no harm after flop
ping down from his perch.-Correspon-
dence of the Ne,us and Courier.

The Republicans cannot boast of a
harmonious Convention at Chicago. The
rival factions have been bitter and fierce
towards each other, and scars of the bat.
tie will remain for a long time to weaken
and jeopardize the supremacy of Radi-
calism. There may be quasi support
of the nominee by all of the leaders, but
it may be put down as reasonably sure
that many of the defeated men are not
going to give themselves great deal of
trouble about carrying the election. 1t
may hurt them to be beaten, but still
they would take such pleasure in telling
the winning men after their candidate is
defeated "I told you So"

- Senator Hoar, in his speech as pre-
siding officer of the Chicago Convention,
charged the Democracy with opposition
to fair elections and free ballot. The
Washington Post cruelty but opportune-
ly reminds Mr.. Hoar that in his own
State, and under laws which he helped
put on the statute books, there is more
crime against the right of suffrage than
in any other State or section. In that
State 10000 men are disfranchised,
many of them because, within the past
few years, when they could not get work,
they were obliged to accept public
charity in the shape of food for their
families, or medicine or coffin for the
sick or dead of their households. This
is the sort of free ballot for which Mr..
Hoar contends. If lie and those who CO.
operate with him could regulate suffrage,
no poor man would vote at all and no
rich man would be permitted to vote
against the Republican party.

The Greenbackers and Democrats of
Maine have nominated the same ticket
for State officers, with Gen. Harris M.
Plaisted, of Bangor, as the candidate for
Governor. He was for years Republi-
can, and the nomination is said to be q
very strong one, so much 80 that the
Boston Herald says that if Blaine is not
nominated at Chicago the State of Maine
will become one of the most doubtful
and hotly contested States in the Union
in the coming presidential campaign.

The people of Camden are determined

The people of Camden are determined
to put stop to the carrying of concealed
weapons and to dueling if Town ordi.
nances and anti.dueling associations can
effect it. The Town Council of that
place has passed an ordinance forbidding
the carrying of concealed weapons within
the corporate limits of the town, and on
last Thursday evening the organization
of the Camden and Kershaw anti.Duel-
ing Association" was perfected, with
Judge ]. B. Kershaw as president. The
objects of the association shall be "to
train, educate and organize the public
opinion and moral sense of the people to
true perception of the criminality of
this wicked and pernicious practice. To
take proper measures to procure an ad-
justment of all personal difficulties which
might tend to involve any of our fellow
citizens in duel. To use and enforce
all legal means Of preventing any of our
fellow.citizens from engaging in a duel.
To enforce the laws against dueling in
every case of their violation hereafter
occurring in the County Of Kershaw,

the fighting of duel, or the counselling,
aiding or abetting any of these offences"
The cooperation and assistance "of all
good citizens, all of the humane and
benevolent, all who wish we'll to the
community, all Christian people and
ministers, and all who are in any way
responsible for public opinion, or can
influence it any sespect," are cordially
invited. Similar associations in other
towns of the State might be organized
and conducted to the general welfare OF
society and the public morals of our
country. Dueling is practice of the
past, and should be buried with it. The
association in Camden will command the
respect of the people of the whole State,
for it seeks to correct an evil which is
becoming entirely too common of late
wears in South Carolina. The gentlemen

The Toledo Blade suggests that it
would be good policy for the Democrats
now to take up Grant and run him for
president, and thinks he could be elected.
Grant, however, is politically dead. BE
has allowed his ambition to over-shadow
his patriotism, and his nomination would
kiln any political party. The Republi-
cans knew this, and avoided the blunder.

would even consider the question, after
their Greeley experience of eight years

Majority for June................ 1918;

Majority for June...............: 1888
Early nominations were desired, there
fore, by majority of the counties, by a
majority of their delegates, and by ma
iority of the Democratic voters of the
State. Really, however, there is no
power to 60 "behind the returns" and in
quire whether the vote of Convention
correctly represents the sentiments of the
people. The right to make final de-
cision must rest somewhere, and in the
Democratic party the State Convention
is the tribunal from whose judgment
there is no appeal. By the action of the
State Convention every Democrat is
bound. The Democratic minority in
South Carolina hitherto have always
given generous support to the decision
Of the majority, for the minority know
that in no other way can the unity of the
party be maintained, and the continuance
of Democratic rule be assured. 1t will
be so in the present canvass. There was
an honest difference of opinion, and,
now that the State Convention has
spoken, all true Democrats will be of one
mind and have but one object-Victory
all along the line in November!
