aged it. You had better make a clean
breast of it, and though it would be my
duty to take proceedings against you-yet
if you will explain, it is possible that l
may just for once, considering the pecul-
lar features OF the case, be induced to
take a lenient view of very grave mis-
demeanor, sir.
Thus encouraged, the culprit, who de-
tected IL kindly twinkle in the usually
stern gray eye which was fixed upon him,
made afull and free confession of his fault.
and of the causes which led thereto.
The colonel, though we'll advanced in
the vale of years, had not outlived the me-
mory of youthful hopes, and was kindly
man, though n strict discipliuarian. The
young lady whose fair image had lured
the lover from his duty, was rather
favorte with him. and considering, as he
had said, the peculiar features of the case,
he consented to overlook the offence, and
inflicted no worse punishment .on the de-
linquent than reprimand, which was re-
ceived in dutiful silence and with all due
contrition. Six months later the colonel
made an eloquent speech at the wedding
of two happy young people, on which oc-
casion Capt. Brereton acted rs best man.
Then two sweet blue eyes looked playful
" into his, as the pretty bride thanked
him, in mysterious whisper for the soil
tary and memorable occasion when he
had consented, for once in his life, to
overlook and condone n single breach Of
discipline.

Address of the State Demo.
cratic Committee 80 the Peo-
pie of the State.
Rooms OF THE


STATE Dem. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
COLUMBIA, S. c., August Is, 1882,
FelloU- Citizens The candidates
nominated by the State Democratic
Convention at Columbia are worthy
of the support Of the whole people.
No other political body will, or can,
present to you candidates for State
Offices who have equal claims to your
confidence. The Democracy of South
Carolina have received the nomiua-
tions with unfeigned satisfaction, and
are determined to elect their candi-
dates. It will be an unmixed bless
iog to the State, however, if there
shall be truce to political strife, and
honest men, with honest purpose and
without regard to their political asso-
Citations in the past, unite in voting
for the upright, capable and faithful
candidates who are now before the
people. The Democracy cannot be
expected to continue to load them
selves down with taxation for the
benefit of their former opponents.
if these persist in preferring political
tramps or imported vagabouds to
Carolinians Of proved worth and &C.
knowledged merit.
The principles declared by the
State Convention as formulating the
objects and intentions of the Dem.
ocratic party are Ineligible, liberal
and progressive. They lock to .he
preservation of Honest Home Rule as
the paramount need of good citizens
of every condition 10 life, aod they
pledge to all the people the just ad-
ministratiou of equal laws, aud econ
omy with efficiency 10 the conduct of
the Government In the broader
arena of National affairs the South
Carolina Democracy stand pledged to
the reform of the tariff system, so as
to lessen the burdens on the people,
and to the reform of the civil service
as 3 means, of purifying politics.
When the political workers shall no
longer have hundred thousand Fed
eral Offices as lure and bait for their
hungry dependents, the power of
combinations of uuscrupulous politi-
clans will assuredly be broken, and
for every candidate, within bis party,
there will be fair field and no favor.
The Democracy demand likewise that
the Federal Government, BY liberal
appropriations from the treasury for
educational purposes, help the South
ern States to convert the present and
rising generation of freedmen into
Intelligent and responsible citizens.
In all things the South Carolina De-
mocracy solemnly bind themselves,
before their fellow. .countrymen, to
pursue that public policy which will
make the whole people content, by
securing their rights, guarding their
and fostering their growing
prosperity.

.sOur Free EdUcaEion."

The HER.LD's article last week
on the above subject has called
forth two able editorials from the
Columbis Register. This fact is an
evidence that the purytse of our
article has been accomplished-to
some extent at least-that purpose
being to fix public attention upon
the free school system and it's man
sgement. We6esire that the whole
matter shall be thoroughly under
stood; for in such event there will
be a demand on the part of the
people of the State that the free
school system shall be worked for
all that it is worth. The Register
does Us simple justice when it says :
Eve know the even tenor and steady
purpose of our contemporary too
well to suppose for moment that
it's timely reflections are made in a
spirit of fault-fnding, or for the
purpose of antagonizing the cause
of popular education. We under
stand our contemporary to desire
the use and application of the edu.
cational fund for which the people
are taxed 30 as to give dollars
worth for dollars in educational
advantages afforded the public to
the last cent of the fund raised out
Of the peoples pocket"
The Registers editorials on this
subject are carefully prepared, and
contain much information; but as
We have not space for the articles
this week we defer any further re
marks for the present.

Section XIII of the Primary
Regulations reads: ''If any person
shall receive a majority Of all the
votes cast for the Office for which
he is a candidate, he shall be de-
clared to be the Democratic Nomi-
nee for such Office"
This section is loosely worded.
The meaning undoubtedly is, in
the case of candidates for Repre-
sentatives and County Commission
ers, that the three highest having 8
majority shall be the nominees.
There are to be only three nominees
for each of the above named officers.
It is possible that more than three
will get a msiority Of the votes cast,
and it is very probable in the case
of the candidates for the Legisla-
ture.

Gen. Capers Withdraws-Who
Will Fill the Vacancy

Gen. Capers Withdraws-Who
Will Fill the Vacancy?
Rev. Ellison Capers has written
to the State Executive Committee
withdrawing from the State Ticket
as candidate for Superintendent
of Education. He says that his
first duty is to his church, and that
he made a mistake in consenting to
run.
The Executive Committee will
meet to FL the vacancy the 18th OF
September, at which meeting all
the County Chairmen are invited to
be present for purposes of confer
ence.
Col. James Farrow, of Laurens,
was the next highest candidate be-
fore the State Convention, and it
will be insisted that the nomination
is due him. Now, while We we have
as high opinion of Col. Farrow's
character and general ability as
anybody, we are fully convinced
(and as friend to the free school
system We feel it our duty to say
so) that his nomination would be a
serious mistake. Col. Farrow is
well advanced in years and is feeble
in health, and we do not think that
he would bring to the discharge OF
the duties Of the Office the expert
ence in that line of work that would
guarantee success. The Office is
the most important in the State
and to allow any other consideration
than that of thorough efficiency
control in the selection Of the nom
inee would be not only a serious
mistake, but crime against the
children of the State.

Where the State Nominees
Came From.

a great deal has been said, II
speeches and elsewhere, regarding
the fact that Newbery County has
q representative on the State Ticket
for the first time since Maj. Fed
Nance was Lieutenant Governor
over fifty years ago. The fact has
been alluded to as if this County
had been overlooked, and as it the
nomination of a Newberry man was
an act of tardy justice. It is proper
to remember, however, that prior to
1858 there was no such thing IN
this State as nominating conyen-
tions, and that every man who
chose entered the field; also, that
up to 1876 the Democrats made no
nominations in this State.
In 1876 the Democrats made
their first State nominations. The
nominees were Hampton, Simpson,
Sims, Conner, Thompson, Hagood,
Leaphart, Noise.
In 1878 the same men were NOM
mated, except that Youmans was
nominated in the place Of Conner.
In 1880 half of the former ticket
were nominated the four new men
were Kennedy, Colt, Richardson
and Manigault.
In 1882 three Of the former tick
ct were nominated; the five new
men are Sheppard, Lipsccmb, Miles,
Capers and Stoney.
There have been only eighteen
State Democratic nominees within
the history of South Carolina.
These nominees were from the fol.
lowing Counties: Five from Rich
land, two from Charleston, and one
from each of the following Coun.
ties: Laurens, York, Barnwell,
Sumter, Kershaw, Chesterfield,
Clarendon, Georgetown, Edgefeld,
Greenville and Newberry. Only
thirteen Counties out of thirty four
nave had representation on the State
Ticket.
Prior to time Of party nomina'
tions any Newberry mandgGld have
got a place on the State Ticket if
he had chosen to run for it, and the
people had chosen to elect him. So
there is no ground for complaint
on the score of neglect up to 1876.
And since that time twenty-one
Counties in the State have had no
man on the State Ticket. So there
can beno ground of complaint since
1875.
We state the above facts lest an
impression might prevail that New.
berry County has been sighted
hitherto.
