ORR RE-NOMINATED.

The Convention Of the Eighth ,Ju-
dicial Circuit was held in Green
Vile on last Monday night. Col
r. A. Thompson,of Walhalla, was
elected Chairman, while G.. w.
Taylor, Esq. Of Pickcns, was elect
ed Secretary. Col. James l.. Orr
was the only candidate in the field
for the Solicitorship. He was
nominated by Col. Simpson, Of
Anderson, and was seconded by
Mr.. John S. Werner, Of Walhalla,
each of whom spoke in compile
mcntary terms Of our worthy So
licitOr. His real worth and
sterling ability are fully realized
throughout the whole judicial Cir
cult; and the Convention fully
cvinced it's good sense in the Sc
lection Of such q sound man to fill
this important office.

THE NATIONS MAN.

After all that has been thought.
SAID and done against Gov. ClcVc-
land, Of New York, the nations
candidate for the Presidency Of
these United States, he is about
to win. Desperate efforts have
been made to cut short his nOmi-
nation, but it seems that all such
will fail to prevent it. His infIu-
cnce, availability and wonderful
powers Of head and heart, recon-
mend him to the high position, in
which our people wish to place
him. The wonderful John Kelly.
who would have his way in the
matter has thus far signally failed.
Well for him too. 1t is high time
that our people were crushing to
earth the seemingly imperative
wishes Of q would be royal dicta
tor. We do not see the necessity
Of letting one man with his clam
ish crew take the reins Of govern
ment in their own hands and open

wOOK TO YOUR INTEREST,",

Let every true son Of Pickens
County, as the time approaches
for holding the Congressional Con-
vention, keep before his mind the
name of Col. r.. +. Bowen. It is
true that none can vote save the
six delegates that are to be pres
cnt at the Convention. There is
nothing amiss. however, in looking
with great interest to the probable
nomination Of Pickcns' noble son.
The man whose efforts to do good
for our county, knew no limits,
and who is ever ready to carry for
ward the interests not only Of his
constituency, but that of the en-
tire nation.

Gain by Loss.

Lord Thurlow, one of the ablest oil
English Lord Chancellors, was the
most uncomfortable man to be associa-
ted with. He never learned self-con-
troll, and his explosions of temper, on
the slightest provocation, were appall-
ing. No fisherwOman in Billingsgate
indulged in grosser epithets than this
leader of the bar and bench. Scenes
took place in his own dining-room
which made noblemen hesitate before
accepting his hospitality The greatest
men in the realm shrank from an en-
counter where they were certain to be
overwhelmed with foul words.
But King George I'LL was a priyi-
legged person from whom even the great
Lord Chancellor must accept a rebuke
without a reply. And the monarch
managed to infiict it without violating
courtesy, with sharp wit worthy OF
Talleyrand. Lord Thurlow came late
to an important cabinet meeting. and
apologized for his hardness by saying
that he had fracas with a cabman and
lost his temper.
The King answered. quietly: Lost
your temper, my Lord? L congratulate
you heartily. l hope you may never
find it, for it was the most villainous
temper that / ever knew"

GOD KNOWS WHEREI

Behold the stretch of sea view;
Blue sky above the waters blue,
Wherein the ships in hurried tiiEhC
Are borne by sails as broad and white
AS angels wings. which outward bear
Departing souls from here tn there;
That port of rest, in God Knows where.
Light winged ships that skim the blue,
Deep sea, for gain. the tale is true
That after years OF toll unbleSt
You shall confess that place Is best
Where love keeps ever watchful care
For your return from, God knows where,
The sad. sweet faces left behind
So long ago are still defined.
And gOodly land. or sunny sky.
Hold not the wanderers; by and by,
The absent vessels homeward bear
The souls which come from, God knows
where.
Sail on, o ships; it's not denied
To search and nos be satisfied,
To love and wander Is TO learn
How fierce loves glowing embers burn
In hearts whose constant watch and prayer
Is for the absent, God knows where.
Behold. o friend. the sen I view:
How much is old, how little new,
These careless ones who come and go,
Receding fast returning slow,
Each seeks some phantom. here or there,
And hopes to find il, God knows where.
Yet all shall learn that home is best
Where love lies waiting in its nest;
And sometime from its weary chase
Each heart will seek its resting place;
It's port of rest IL hopes to share
With one who waits in, God knows where.
Behold how fast the ship sails on
The near is far, the far has gone;
My Souli Ny ship! Sail on; the breeze
Watts over life's tempeStuous seas,
But sometimes where the waiting are.
/, too, shall stand in, God knows where.
But il shall be my home, and L
No longer search TO satisfy.
IT those I love, who longing wait
shall meet me AT the Golden Gate.
How blessed, indeed, shall be there,
AT rest, AT home, in, God knows where.
