The ck-Radical-Coalition

81. G. H." the olumbia correspondent of
the Ne~S and Courier, writing under date
of the both ult., says:
Il learned this morning from n trus,wor-
thy source that, as the result Of .'sthe my>
sterious conference which was held in
Columbia last January, n coalition hus been
formed between the Oreenbackers, lndepen
dents and Republicans TO parcel out tho Of
fees in South Carolina, the plan being to
allow the colored people twenty representa-
tives in the lower house Of the General AS
sembly and five in the Senate. The ag rec
mcnt also gives 10 the republicans three OF
the Congressional districts without regard
to color. 1t is presumed that this art icle
was inserted for the especial benefit of f.
| w. Nj. Mackey. BY the agreement the
Greenbackers are let free to fight for any.
thing else in the State from Columbia to
| the seaboard, with the assurance that the
Republicans will support them in all their
efforts TO break the solidity Of the Demo
cratic ranks. 1t is understood that in NH
ny of the upper counties no fight will be
made with The coalitionists for any of th,
Offices, the Democratic mnj critics being sC
large as to prevent the possibility of sue
| cess.
My informant says that the plan Of th'
coalit ionists was unfolded TO him by one o
the 'mythioal thirteen" who participated
in the State House Conference in January
and that there is little doubt that the agree
ment ns above indicated 10 the "platform'
upon which the self.styled Reformers bas
their claims to popular support-their first
list and only object being division of tn
offices. Tho Greenback leaders say tina
they will submit platform to their Stat
Convention, which meets on September
that will harmonic all the discordant ele
ments in the State and insure the defeat o
the Democracy"
That Greenbackism is an attempted dis
guise of Radicalism, no one Of common sens
can fail to see. The success of the Green
hackers or Independents in this State simp
ulation to power.

Speaking of tho consolidation Of
the Atlanti" and French Broad Vul-
ley Raildoad with the Edgefield,
Trenton and Aiken Railroad, Sthe
EdgcfcId Advertiser says that Gov,
ernor Hagood will be elected to tho
presidency of tho consolidated crn-
panics, that he was elected director
"with tho understanding that he
should be subsequently invited to be-
come president" and that "since tho
meeting at Bolton he has been ap-
preached or this subject, and has in>
timatcd his willingness TO accept tho
post-of course not untill the eXpi-
ration of his Gubcrnutorial term"
Gov. Hngood would no doubt
make good railroad president, but
Tor practical judgment and business
activity the new company could not
have made II more fortunate selection
than by taking Col. Bowen, whose
familiarity with the country through
which the road is to run, and tho
character and qualities of tho hands
likely TO be engaged upon The work
will give him very great advantages.
Tho Colonei is one OF the most en-
crgctic and persistent men in the
State. All OF the elements of sue
cess are comprised in tho qualifca>
tions he possesscs.--AnderSon LntelL-

A Model Comfy.

Col Keith, editor Of the Keowee Courier,
aud party of friends recently visited Table
Rock in this County. In his very interest.
ing account of the trip, scenery &c., we
find the following in reference to our town
and County.
Through the indefNtigable efforts of Sena.
tor Bradley, in the cause of temperance,
aided by other good citizens and seconded
by the ladies of the County, Pickens can
boast that there is not and cannot be a IL
consed bar room in the County. The Stat
ute law for5ids it, and as such reforms
never go backward we may reasonably con
clude that Pickens county will ever main.
tain legal prohibition. Has property re
ceded in value by reason Of this? Are her
citizens removing or dissatisfied? Has she
no immigration? Have her religious or 30.
cial or educational interests declined! On
the contrary, not otwithstanding the heavy
railroad tax, real estate commands readiei
sale at better prices than with US, while her
population is increasing in number and in-
telligence and her religious and educational
interests are eminently active and progress
sive Her criminal record and conseq uent-
ly her taxation for court expenses is small
and diminishing. The town, from berg at
its laying out one Of the noisicst, most
drinking places in the up country is now
penceahle, social and progressive. Property
has advanced in value, some half acre lots
being held at FIVE to six hundred dollars. -
With the completion Of the railroad it prom.
ises TO be n place Of business and general
resort for health and pleasure, 40 Bdid Knob,
Table Rock and CtesHE's Head are all with.
in easy reach Of the town. The most re-
mNrkable as we'll as commendable feature
Of the town is the great interest manifested
in education. MIR. MoCaslap, of Abbeville.
with corps Of assistants, has in successful
operation high school with ninety to one
hundred students, many Of them grown
young ladies from other counties and in
some instances from other States. The
citizens have bought four acre lot and ore
having brick made 10 erect regular bn;ld'
ing for school purposes. In this as in the;,
temperance movements we wish them ali,
success.
AT the close Of our trip we had to rc,nrn
to Pickens aud spend several days on. nro.

YEMAssEE, Jul y 81, 1882.
Dear Sir: Will you allow me o
short space in your valuable paper
to say u few words 10 tho colorcd
pcoplo of Barnwcil County and of
the whole State? have been a
Republican all my lie, and [ have
done all in my power 10 keep them
in office. have, like the rest, or
at least great portion OF the color
cd people, beon opposed to tho white
people in politics since tho war, but
| have at last, thank Heaven, seen
the error OF such II course. see
now that tho white men of this
country arc the best iricncs of the
colored people. They furnish us the
land we plant; they build the hous-
es in which we live; they advance US
supplies TO live on while We are ma.
king our crops; they have protected
US in our right to vote; they have
given us equal rights with them E.
selves under the laws of the State;
they DO not interfere with us as long
as VIC obey the law. 'Tis true, col>
orcd men have been killed in the
State, but never without cause
Crimes like rape, murder and house
burning have been punished with
death; but was not this righ,? White
men will protect their wives and
| children from such brutal assaults by
colored men, but [ am sorry to say
tn t IL great mass OF my race do not
respect their women enough to pro-
tecL them. Why shou d the colored
people oppose those who have done
so much for them? What has the
Republican party evor done for the
black man? ]Tothing that could ev~
or be any profit TO them. um n
colOred man, and have been united
with that party from the day that
| was free until now, and | know
that | have neverbeen benefited by
them IN any way. These Northern
carpet baggcrs and adventurous came
hero and told ns lies and made US
believe thcy were our friends. As
they patto,l rs on the shoulder with
their left nand their right was deep
down in our pocket stealing cur
hard earnings, taking what little we
made. If we can trust the hite
man with our cotton and with our
money, why cant we trust them
with our political affairs? For nv
part | would say to my coIored
friends that | rcnounce and de-
nounce the Republican party as be.
| inu unfit for anv 1ecnnt man m stav
in, and from this day l link myself
with tho Democratic party in thoir
efforts to secure good government.
shall support any man tho Demo
Gratis nominate, and will do all l cnn
20 elect him, and | ask my coIored
friends TO do the same, and thus put
an end TO the bitterness existing boz
twecn the races. Yours truly,
ADAM ODoM.

Yesterdays Enterprise. referring to

the idea that the little girl might be
the Tictim OF faul play. 1t is now two

with the Enterprise that this case is
one worthy the ate ton of shrewd

scarcely possible that the mystery sur
