MIR. ERSPOON.

1t is due to Mr.. Witherspoon to state that
as much as he would desire to meet his friends
at all the appointments for the candidates be-
fore the primary election, yet owing to busi-
ness engagements, and his duties as county
chairman, it has beer impossible for him to
meet all the people, as he desired. His failure
to meet them is due neither to apathy for the
cause nor Indifference to the Importance of
the canvass just closed, but simply on account
of other engagements which imperatively de-
manded his presence at home

314,694, of which Shanklin, Democrat, re-
ceived 84,491; Moore, Republican, 1SO, ,755,

be seen by these figures that although the
Democrats carried the State in both years,
that slight detection from the Greenback
ranks in favor of Republicans is all that
is needed to give the latter control.

THE PRIMARY CANVASS.

The primary canvass closed yesterday at
Clay Hill. On Monday the candidates address
ed the people at Rock Hill, and on Tuesday at
Fort Mill. At Rock Hill there was very
good attendance of people. The meeting was
presided over by Col. Cad Jones, who asked
for all patient hearing. He also, in his open
ing remarks, urged upon the Democracy of
York county to assemble at Yorkvifle on the
9th instant, the occasion of public speaking
by the State Democratic canvassers. Col.
Jones then introduced Mr.. Witherspoon, who
briefly addressed the crowd, after which he
was followed by the candidates for the House
of Representatives, and Dr. E. L. Glenn, one
of the candidates for county commissioner.
No other candidates answering to their names
as called from the list, speaking was announced
as closed and the crowd dispersed. Everything
passed off pleasantly. The candidates were
all in the most affable mood, and the people in
the same agreeable state of mind

- The papers are publishing long accounts
of the real circumstances of the killing ofthe
two coored men whose budies were found in
Little River, Laurens county, some weeks
ago. Investigation has revealed the fact that
the two negroes alluded to were known to
have attempted foul outrage upon a highly
respectable lady of the neighborhood, and
were quietly put out of the way by her rela-
tives. They are charged with several similar
attempts upon both white and colored females,
and their fate seems to have been source of
Joy to every head of family of both colors
that knew them.
- At the municipal election last Spring in
Lancaster, the question was distinctly made
as to whether or not licenses should be grant
ed blythe town council to retail spirituous
liquors within the corporate limits. The con-
test resulted in the election of an anti.license
council. The Rerie,u gives as one Of the re
suits, that the whisky drinkers of Lancaster
have improved so much in behavior, that the
town council no longer find it necessary to
employ policeman. Yet in the face of such
a fact as this, there are men who will assert
that more Intoxicating liquors are drank in
towns where the sale of liquors is not licensed,
than in towns where it is. In other words,
that people will get drunker when they can't
get liquor, than they will when they can get it.
