SAD DEATH.

We are grieved to announce the death OF
Mrs. Carrie E. Covington, wife of Rev. j.
E. Covington, pastor of the Baptist Church
es of Yorkville and Union, which occurred
in this place on Monday afternoon last, the
3Oth ultimo. Mrs. Covington was in the
9th year of her age, and was married in
April, 1877. Her husband assumed the pas
torate of the above named churches about
fifteen months ago, during which time she
had resided here with him, and by her
sweet and gentle disposition and kindness
of heart, was highly admired by large cir
Gle of friends. She leaves two children-a
son and daughter-neither old enough to
realize their irreparable loss. In this deep
affliction they and the bereaved husband
have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community. Mrs. Covington was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. T. L. Grassland, of Bennettsville,
in this State, and her remains were taken
to that town for burial.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The action. of the State Democratic Con-
vention in unanimously endorsing and NOM
mating for reelection, Governor Hugh S.
Thompson and his associates in office, will
be hailed by the people of the State with
the utmost satisfaction as tribute eminent
ly due to each and every member of the
State administration for the past two years.
The delegates to the National Convention
areable and creditable to the State, and the
Convention acted wisely in sending them
uninstructed. The platform adopted is all
that could be desired, and on it the whole
people of the State can safely stand. There
is no reason for division on questions of State
government in South Carolina. Our laws
and the administration of the State govern
ment afford equal protection to all the peo-
pie of the State, and the Democracy of 1884,
as exemplified by the action of the State
Convention, is as conservative and true to
its principles as in 1876.
