two questions outside Of its regular busi-

Of these questions, but should attend to

= This town, Ninety. Six, being the
centre OF rich agricultural district and
geographically near the centre of four
large Counties, will petition our Legisla-
ture next Fall for the formation of O.
new County, with the court house situa-
ted here. This point is remote nearly
thirty miles from any County seat n..d isa
need long felt. The occasion docs not
arise altogether from local interest, but
is anxiousIy clamored for by all within
the limits of the proposed new County.

Edgefield, Laurens and Newberry.

has already received denomination from
the Fusion Greenbackers and Chase has
been nominated as the leader of the wing
be carries about with him in his vest
pocket. The Prohibitionists have also
got together ticket, but they are of little
account, politically speaking, this year.
The Republicans will namo their ticket
to-day and the Democrats will wind up
the conventions on the 9th.

the return Of his friend Senator Morgan,
and he adds: II owe too much to our
great party to be instrumental in disrup-
ting it in any county Of this State, and

would enter upon any course OF conduct
that would have the effect of tlisrupting
and breaking down the organization Of
our party in any county OF this State"
