The Fight In the Fourth District.
Columbia Cor. -Augusta Chronicle }

|
1t seems to be pretty we'll settled
that the liveliest Congressional race
in the State will be in this, the Fourth
District. The following candidates
are said to be in the field: Col. LIE
Roy +. Youmans, Col. VIM. Wallace
and Col. F. W. McMaster, ali from
Columbia, and Col. McKissick, o.
Union, Col. w. Il. Perry, of Green
vile, and Col. Evins from Spartan
burg. This leaves Laurens the other
county in the district, without can
didate, but that county also will
doubtless be heard from before the
nomination is made. as she too has
some good Congressional timber. AL
of the gentlemen named are lawyera
aud distinguished men. Col. You
mans is ex.attorney-general Of the
State and perhaps the most eloquent
man in South Carolina. Col. Wallace
is State Senator from this county,
and man Of sterling worth. COL
McMaster is very able lawyer and
has been conspicuous in his advocacy
Of the public schools Of the State
Col. Perry is State Senator from
Greenville, is a son Of Ex-Governor
Perry, and like his distinguished
father is man OF commanding in'
tellect. Col. McKisaick is member
of the House Of Representatives
from Union County. He is man OF
great natural ability and is gifted
humorist. He was elected to Congress
during the Radical days, bnt OF course
was counted out. Col Eyins, the in
cumbent, has been three times elected
to Congress and has filed the high
position to the satisfaction Of his con-
stitnents.
The Hon. Henry A. Gaillard, Of
Fairfield County, has been nominated
by a correspondent CT the Winnaboro
Mw& and Herald for Congress- rom
the Fourth District, who eaya: In
electin5 him (Gaillard) to succeed the
Hon. j. q. Evins, the people Of this
district would not only honor him,
but would do credit TO their own
good Judgment; and the State at
large would reap rich harveet from
the long experience, earnest faithful
ness and acknowledged ability Of a
representative 30 amply qualified to
ill this important nnd responsible poei-
tion in our National Legislature.

A SUMMER DAY.

With head on fingers interwrought
lie with all the world at peace;
Each sun.gilt cloud golden fleece
As rich as that which Jason sought.
Beneath the elm tree where lie,
T see within the brook trout
From meath sunken log look ont,
And scan the pool with wary eye.
With CLEANS of iridescent light,
The dragon fly on gauzv wing
Above the stream hangs lowering,
Then like an arrow out of sight.
I catch flash of flittering flame,
And, from her hammock hanging
near,
The mother oriole can hear
AS soft she sings her sweetheart's name.
TIE soul of hearing tense and bare,
hear drowsy drone, and see
From bloom TO bloom the humble bee
Lounge through tho amber, wine warm
air.
Then every note of biri-born sound.
That clown OF all the feathered tribe,
The catbird, mocks with merry jibe
An echo of full-voiced rebound.
Through half closed lashes' shading
mist,
A slantine stair the sunlights rsys,
The far-off hills swim in haze
OF purple, gold and amethyst.
Beneath the SUMS alchemic test,
Dull, dust-like notes to life arise.
And golden winged. the butterflies,
Float on the topaz air at rest.
Unto their work the mowers lean,
hear the swish of swinging scythes,
Before whose sweep the tall grass
writhes.
And falls behind il waves of greeS.
Aud, giving voice to joyous verse,
Pitched to the whetstone's treble ring,
TO me are borne the airs they sing
As though forgot the primal curse.
The patient oxen bow and strain
To storm Drowned barns from meadow
Iields,
With harvest which the summer yields
High piled upon .he creaking vain.
I.oosed from the school houae near che
town,
A group of children laugh and jest,
The buttercup's chin shadow test,
And blow the dandslion's down.
Adown the West the sun sinks low,
AS grows the twilight comes hush,
Save where with vesper chant the
thrush
Sings in the sunsets afterglow.

ITO the amount Of Bible knowledge
any people possess, just that much
woman is elevated, loved and res
pected. Look among the savages OF
Africa, India and the wild Indians Of
America. Look at the hundreds Of
millions in China, where her exist
'ence is regarded as misfortune, her
life burden, and her death relief.
In Mohammcdan lands, where the
people have partial belief in the
true God, her condition is just little
better. In Roman Catholic countries
they come little nearer the Bible
Woman's condition is something bet
ter than among he followers OF the
false prophet, But not until we come
to Bible lands, where all have free
and full access to Gods Holy Woid,
do we find woman elevated to her
true position in society.
|. Woman was created for the
helpmeet for man (Gen. il: lS),
Miriam, the sister Of Moses and
Aaron, as prophecies, assisted her
brothers (Ex. xv: 90. Mary and
Martha, Of Bethany, were united
with their brother, Lazarus. to enter
tain the Saviour. Aqnila was assist
ed By his wife, Priscilla, in teaching
the great Apollos the way Of God
more perfectly. They also were help
ers Of Paul in his missionary work.
Phoebe, sister in the church at
'Cenchrea, also helped Paul in his
missionary service.
.. Upon some occasions, it seemed
necessary that women should be lead
.4ra in COOK works. Deborah, the
prophecies and judge Of Israel, was
the leader of Gods people against
their enemies, while the timid Barak
would not go forth to battle without
her. Jael, woman OF Isrsel, killed
Sisera, and the honor CT the victory
upon that occasion was given to a
woman. Lydia is named as leading
the way in believing the gospel, and,
in obedience to Christ, was the first
baptized at Philippi, and the first one
in that heather city to invite the
apostles into her honse. 1t was a
woman that led the inhabitants Of
Samaria to belive on Christ.
3. Esther was instrumental at one
time of saving the whole Jewiah peo
pie from a cruel death. See hook
of Esther) Especial mention is made
of Rahat and Ruth.
4. Hannah's name stands upon the
inspired record as making the moblest
and p,u'est offering Of conservation to
Gods Searice of any mentioned in
Old Testament history. ( Sam. i: 3 }
5. A Gentle woman, by her i'm
Fortunate faith, obtained blessing
that had not been rromised-the
most remarkable instance of faith
mentioned in the New Testament.
Matt. w: 2l-2S; Marx vii: go

Saviour, one of the most beautiful
and important discourses left on re.

LAST week we were quite i'll, I'M
able to write It very little, or to
Scrutinize with care what was con.

some matter crept in type which
was too foul for such a channel as
the LEADER. Wien we get So
weak that we cannot throw dirt in
sufficient quantities through the
agency of our pencil, we may solicit
aid, but meantime we want all cor-
respondents to understand that in
writing for oar columns they must
"assume Il virtue If they lave it
not" and pen nothing that cannot
be read by old or young, male or
female, without generating shame
or anger. Upon our head falls
praise or ;ensurc tor what appears
IN the LEADER, and What of censure
we receive must be the product
OF our own voluntary action-an1
we prefer harsh criticism for any
thing rather than for obsccnitv.

to see what progress the new con
TRACTORS, Ozanne & Anderson. were
making. When they look hold,
some three weeks since, the Shalt
had been sunk 100 feet. Last Sat
urday night the sub-contractors,
Grumbles IL Stimmcl, had prue-
trated 20 feet lower. The facilities
Tor working are now superior than
before. o. IL A. first laid All even
floor upon which to sort the ore.
then a roadway leading to chute
down which the milling ore is CON
veyed into waitirg wagons, thus
saving much labor. Then they
had made on improved double act

jeff and Ben, ,.the sub-contlaetors,
iiave but two helpers, yet the othci'
day they conveyed, from the
depth indicated, 120 bucket loads
in 8 hours and 20 minutes.
Ozanne & Anderson first con.
cludcd that if there were rs good
Ssh Iii the sea us ever were caught.
by the same token perhaps there
was as good ore in the refuse dump
az ever was uncarthed, and accord
ingly they gathered up twenty five
and onehalf tons Of rejected ore,
Which had for months been cx.
posed to sight and elementary ac-
tion, and had had the same convey
ed to the Glass Mil. On the dav
ol our visit the cleanup was made
manifest and the result was an
average of $50. 10 per ton, or n
total OF very nearly 3 lbs. How is
that for refused orcl o. d A. are
sure of mHkinga a good thing out Of
their contract, though many wise
acres shook their heads and prog
nosticated failure. We are glad
OF 1t, for there are none, inside or
outside the camp, possessed of
more vim. enterprise and industry
than theyea Jno. w alters, the
P oneer superintendent, is super
vising.
Passing from the development
spoken of, we climbed the Hill
leading, nor 10 the poor7tousc, bul
to Uncle john Wilson's Silver
Cliff" where we found Jno. Nc
Murchy striking tllotgll tunnel,
while the Baxter Mountain Poc,'
was "boye him digging trenches,
both beng intent ineoh finding a
rich lead, they being encouraged
in tleirphrsuit by The large amount
of floating and cropping clrystal-
ized quartz. When they find it
we will be- pleased to chronicle the
fact.
Still onward we came to where
L. II. Pattison was al work, drill
ing and blasting on a site which he
felt persuaded covered millions.
He hasn'tyct christened his mine,
nor will he until it is unioded and
shows what 1t is worth, bui at
present thinks he will call it Hard
to Find" " He says lie kno&s he
has a big thing under his feet all
he desires is to find the lead, and
he will find the durn thing or bust
his suspenders.
We felt unable to travel farther.
Frequent blasts were lleird from
the Old Abe, aud several miners
were at work on greater or lesser
claims. We will visit them in the
near future.
