THEODORE KoHN.

The above ticket was nominated
by the Democratic party of the town,
and will be supported by all Demo
Gratis who properly appreciate the
danger Of division and boiling in
their ranks. We can't believe that
any of us will so early forget the past,
and vote against the party that re-
deemed the State We must not
lose sight Of the fact that defeat of
the party at this time, and at the
County seat, will have Il most iniur-
ious effect upon the next political
campaign. We may talk as We
please about the matter not being a
political one; but is, and VIC can t
shake it of. lie who is not for us is
against us in this fight. But, aside
from the political question, the nomi-
nccs Oh the above ticket arc al in
every way acceptable. They are
cntcrprising, young and energetic.
and in every way suited to the neccs-
stiles OF our growing town.
Again, much is said about a citi-
zens meeting, instead Of n Democra
tic meeting to nominate candidates.
The fact is we believe it is all in a
name. The ticket nominated repre-
scnts the citizens rs well as Demo
Gratis, and we doubtnot, if n citizen S
meeting had been called, if the result
would not have been very much the
same. The nominating meeting was
full and representative OF the best
citizens Of Orangcburg, and the tick
ct, MS the fair expression Of their will,
ought to be elected, and will be, if
every man docs his duty.

Good News.

In our last the prospect for the
recovery Of the President was ex-
tremely gloomy. We are glad to be
able to report to our readers that the
terrible relapse of last week seems to
have been the turning point in his
case, and bright and well grounded
hopes are now indulgcd that he will
get we'll. He has rallied consider
ably; takes nourishment with relish,
and the latest is, that he is even get
ting off jokes on his poor wife. The
atmosphere around the White House
is now much happier and brighter.

nothing that wears away the brain
more than editing. The EDITORS mind
is never idle. He is always thinking
whether he is writing ut the time or
not. The strain is far greater than
is imagined, and there is little or no
rest from his labors.
