Some days ago Mrs. Herard, of
Barnwell County, wrote letter to the
New York Sun representing the people
Of large portions of Hampton, Barnwell,
Aiken and Marion Counties to be suffer
ing for the necessaries Of life. The let
ter was taken up and great sympathy
expressed by the New York papers for
the unfortunate condition Of our people
the New York World advocating
subscription for the relief of the suffer-
ers. The Neps and Courier, however,
promptly investigated the condition of
affairs and gave to the public the facts,
which showed that there was no actual
suffering for the necessaries of life, but
that by reason of the short crops, the
people are compelled to live more eco
nomically than they ordinarily do
denying themselves of many comforts
which they have been indulging hereto
fore. There were isolated cases in which
persons were unable to procure supplies
for the Summer, but these have been re-
lieved by their more fortunate neighbors.
The work of the Mews and Courier in
correcting the erroneous idea that had
gone forth is valuable to the State, for
the reports published, while they attrac-
ted sympathy, were also calculated to
create distrust, and thereby damage the
credit and reputation Of the State. There
is great striugency in' money matters
all over the State-the result of the un-
precedented short crop of last year, but
fortunately our people have enough to
live on, and while economy is enforced
upon them they are industrious and
cheerful. Taking everything into con-
sideration, We are inclined to think the
condition of the State now is better than
it was at this time in 1882. 1t is true
that money is scarcer now than then, but
it is likewise true, we believe, that the
Indebtedness of the people is less now
than at that time.

The name of Robert Lincoln is men
toned for Vice. President on the Repub-
lican ticket in connection with every
name suggested for nomination for
President, except that of Senator Logan,
who comes from Lincoln's State. Logan
stands no chance whatever of receiving
the nomination for President, and there
fore Lincoln is pretty certain to receive
the nomination for Vice-President, unless
there should be deadlock in the Con-
vention on the presidency, in which
Lincoln occupies an advantageous posi-
tion to be taken up as the solution to the
deadlock. 1t is about as certain as
anything gets to be in politics that Lin
coin will be nominated either for Vice.
President or President by the Republi-
cans in their coming Convention.

C. NJ. Wilder, the colored postmaster
at Columbia, denounces a. w. Curtis, 4
coored henchman of Brayton, in the
Register. Curtis charged in Il recent
speech that postmaster Wilder had con.
spircd with Judge A. G. Haskell in 1876
to have all the Republicans in Columbia
murdered on the occasion of torchlight
procession.
Such ridiculous charge as that made
by Curtis is not worthy Of any notice
whatever. Judge Haskell knew better
how to carry The election of 1876 than
by killing Columbia negroes. The coup.
ling of his name with Tie charge Of a
plot TO murder carries is falsity in its
own breath.

says: 1t seems that our people are in a
great strait for cotton seed. Last fall
many Of our citizens brought cotton seed
to the village and disposed OF them at
twelve and n half cents bushel. Now
the same persons are going from farm to
farm in search of seed to plant. Lienors
are making application to the stores for
the advance of seed. Those who have
seed have no trouble in disposing of them
at fifty cents bushel, and we learn that
some farmers are waiting on their neigh.
bors to see if any seed will be left which
they can get When people become 80
improvident as not to save seed, they
need expect nothing else than ruin.

- James K. Chalmers, recent con-
vert, received decided snubbing in the
Mississippi Republican State Convention.
The Convention was presided over by
Johu R. Lynch, colored, who on all oc-
casions expressed " contempt for Ctal-
mers's political methods, and the latter
was defeated in every proposition brought
before the Convention and failed
to be elected delegate to the Chicago
Convention.

G. F. ToLLY, Secretary.

In Louisiana the Democratic State
ticket was successful in the late election
by twenty thousand majority. This,
though a comfortable majority, is very
far short of the majority which the Dem
ocrats have heretofore had in their elec-
tions in that State. If the Republicans
elect their President this Fall it is not
improbable that Louisiana will desert the
solid South after this year.

An Instruotivs Report.

A recent report Of the Massachusetts,
bureau Of statistics. makes an instructive
com parison OF the wages and cost OF living
bet ween Massachusetts, aud Great Britain,
Taking twenty four selected industries as
basis Of comparison the average weekly
wages was G2 per cent. higher in Masfa-
chusetts in 1883 than in Great Britain.
In the comparisons extending from 1860
to 1883 million and quarter Of en-
ployss are represented, being included in
So different industries in Massachusetts,
and 80 in Great Britain. In these indus.
tries the general averge weekly wages was
II per cent higher in Massachusetts, than
in Great Britain. The actual cost OF liv-
ing il found 10 have been 1920 higher in
Msssach usstts in 1883 than in Great Brit
ain. OF this figure ll.49 per cant Was
for higher rents representing the
Massachusetts, workingmens better house
accom- modstions. In ether ways the
Massachusetts, workingman lives better
than the British, so that the formers an
nual expenditures are 4s.4l per cent.
greater than the latter's.
The report says: THE Massachusetts,
workipgman sxpends 4s,4l per cent. more
for the support Of his family than the
werkingman in Great Britain. OF this
4s Al per cent, $50 per cent. is paid extra
for articles which couid be purchased 5 80
per cent. cheaper 10 Great Britain; l1.49
per cent is paid extra to secure more and
larger rooms and more air space than the
working man 10 Great Britain enjoys,
while the remainder 81 ~ per cent. indi.
Gates also an extra amount expended by
the Massachusetts workingman to secure
better home surroundings and to maintain
the same higher standard OF living, as
shown fer rent. as regards other expenses,
which standard is higher than that Sc
cured by the workingman in Great Brit
ain"
Another part Of the report relates to the
condition OF the working girls ia Boston.
Exclusive Of domestic servants, there are
10 Boston 10000 working women whose
average weekly earnings are SO 80 each;
the average yearly income from all sources
ia s269 on But 1t is shown that though
their esrsings are small, they ars vet able
10 live comfortably. aud their condition is
vastly bettor than the NEST favored Of the
same classrs ia Great Britain.

Democratic PLAN.


The Albany correspondent Of the N. Y.
Times gives the following in relation to
Democratic plans and prospects:
"The friends Of Governor Cleveland who
are posted on the plans Of the Democratic
managers manifest no concern over the
September elections in Vermont and
Maine They hold that as both States ara
certain 10 go Republican by decided ma.
jorities, there is NO necessity Of putting in
any more work there than is required to
get out the regular Democratic vote. I'm.
less the Republicans roll up phenomenal
majorities, the Democrats will ,e satisfied
with the outcome Of the September con-
test. Their experience four year ago,
whcu the Fusionisis carried Maine in
September. after very hot fight, has
taught them that great expenditure OF
strength in the early States is apt to hurt
more than II helps in the final result.
The men who are Gov. Clevelasd's most
trusted advisers here believe that the VIC
tory in Maine in September, 1880, simply
alarmed the Republicans and aroused the
grand old party" to extraordinary efforts
in the October States, and they do not
intend to repeat the mistake this year,
even IL they could. They expect Gov.
Robes majority will bs between II. 600
aal $1,000. figures which they do not
think will be regarded Of special signfics-
ton coming from Mr.. BlaIe's own State.
II the majority shonld fall below 10000
they will take il as m indication that the
Republican candidate has not the popu.
Isrity which il credited TO him, and AZ
proof that the Republican dissfIection is
more widespread than is commoaly be-
lieved.
Reports from Vermont announce that
the Republicans are not only apsthetic.
bnt in many localities ready to revolt.
Cleveland managers are Accordingly rath-
or in hopes that. without any particular
exertIons on their part, the Green Noun

For Sheriff, John L. Mccall.

Great effsrts will be made on the part
OF Democrats to elect John Robinson
Sheriff and defeat Mccall. In order TO
accomplish their end they do not hesitate
to claim that Robinson has had moro ex-
perience than Mccall. Robinson has
nearly completed one term as Sheriff and
he has been constable in Bennington sew
sral years, we do not know how many.
Mccall thas been constable twenty-five
years and deputy sheriff twenty years and
in attendance upon court twenty eight
terms. Hon. A. l.. Miner indorses him in
