sIcycInnd Ask ch TO WHIT or a. Prin,a-
I.Y Election.

The people In W;.lllalia have got Primary
Elections on the brain rs badly as our Edge
field friends had it ON time ago when 4
Clerk of the Court WAS to be appointed. The
Democrats very properly want a Democratic
postmaster ut Walia.ln, but the question
arises, who shall lie appointed They can
not agree among themselves, ana they have
asked the President TO wait until they can
have an election before III appointment is
made. \ public meeting was recently held
to consider this matter when these, among
other resolutions were adopted:
RcSo'rcd. That n primary election for the purpose
of sc!rctts: y suitable l"is"n for the Postmaster 1T

Gently laid its heavy hand upon the prosper
lily and welfare OF the town, in II futile effort

not want additional railroad facilities, and
which wisely and humancly declines to levy
tribute from w~idowSand orphans, and refuses
10 cOniiScate any part Of the trust estates q.
the dead, and which would rot impcril the
homeS and the beds Of tho struggling poor,
that this most visionary and useless road may

OF capitalists abroad to save us from the ca
iarnity Of falling into the power of IL road

and which is not needed Ivy the public at
large, and which is not wanted By any great
portion of the people.
1t Will be noticed that Mr.. NcCrady makes
no mention of the hundrcd thousand dollars

What Became Of II?

While VIC presume that no Legislator would
condcsrcni to give an account of his steward
ship to the people, this fact need not prevent
us from asking if anybody knows what be-
came OF the following petition. which was
semi to oar Representatives in the General
Assembly 1T It's last sitting:
"a IN" ~J'nrGrnt'" Lcriy'nt1"s 0TH Senators Of
.N,"Eh tHIr'itn il L...yiSinf"rc u:SeH'icd:

liz. citiZ'us shall ,XI,irs> their approval of >ail PRO.
!,ii,iiirn in an election, Which YOU vii! livnsc order
immediately Ir that purpose.
That petition WAS signed, VIC believe, by n
minority Of the citizens whose votes gave
our Legislators their lnnorS, and VIC further
believe that these petitioners represented 4
4 majority OF the intelligence. virtue, respect
ability AMI property of .Abbcville County
This being true We see no good reason why
our honorable Senators and Representatives
SHOULD not have given their petitioners . re-
S~.,rctiul lcaring. or il case they could not do
this, WE sec 10 groi reason to prevent our
LEGISLATORS from telling their constituents
why thclrrrGuc>t was treated with contempt.
70 send this petition WIS the mere right
of the people, W!ich is voucllsafcl in the or
"aEic law .: The State, which assures us that
the right OF petition ">llail never be abridgcd.'
Then why did oar Legislators refuse consider
alton OF the petition Of their constituents?
That III" inst crn$urc may attend tho true
event, we think il nothing but Just and right
fu- tic people to know exactly where tho
fault lies.

Anderson and .ibbcvii!c delegates to con-

e.s.t il Come.

VIC hear intima;inns Of the temperance
wave. which is setting this way. ard we say.
lie: IL como. There arc many wrongs about
the license system, and We know IF no better
way of rialtin. them than by Il pruhih!tnry
law, which Shall anr.y 10 the whole county.
We believe il has been cnntrndCl that w!is-
Ky diSturlS Tic commerce O: Il count" iN
drawing trade from lis legitimate channels TO
the towns which, sell Intoxicating drinks. ];
is 50, the other towns have just reason to
colnnlain. Another evil lies in the !:,ct that
the license fees 90 into the treasury of the
town, Instead Of into tic treasury OF the
County, where they properly belong. y iar-c
per cent. OF the profit ari.in; from ;hc$rlto o!
HhiSiry is due 20 :hc country trade. rs the
wI,iSi"y is sold higher because of The license
fees, tie amount which is put into the treas
ury is Just so much gone to the wrong place.
II should go into the treasury OF The cut:nty
where the benefit wil! be equally divided be-
tween the whole people.
Eat, rs we presume that some opposition
will lie m"dc To this proposition to put the
money where it properly belongs, ii might be
better 10 fight the question straight ard pat q
S,uT 10 the whole business.
There Is some enquiry to know what be-
cairr OF the temperance petitions which were
sent to the Legislature last Fail. but we are
no; informed on this subject. We only know
that We have heard il said that the leaders in
the temperance movement! will make IL q
in politics NJ tlc next election, if the
]. ..isiatUr. persist in ignoring their prayer.
The Legislature may hwart tho will Of the
rcupic fora time. but the people are deter
mined to be heard, and 20 attempt to con-
ccal or smother their petitions will avail.

What's the Natter with titc '.Snnrtas-
burg lSpralJ .,

The Spurirntury Wc1uhi seems to be ont OF
i.um"r on general principles, and especially
is IL 50 when the Constitution Of our state is
mentioned. Hear !; pat % what it said
last week
III We cannot evolve q better constitution than
that adopted by an assembly Of untu,"rcd cor.;ticll
negroes AMI foreign rc.cnIlcs, We ARE unit 10 hold
the rel ms Of government Tic constitution Needs
revision AMI needs II BADLY
The Vcruid would put us In Il serious pre-
dica,ncnt. at We cannot evolve Il better on
Stitulion than that adopted by co:nlicld ne
SrOcS and foreign rclicg;tlCS, We arc unfit 10
hold the rc!@ns Of government" But our re-
SPECIFIED ncigh!Jo" does not point Il single OBJ
Jecti0najlc feature in our Constitution, and
he docs not cite u State IN the Union which
has Il better one than has South Carolina. II
any state has 4 better one. we should like to
hoarof il. In ourliuinblc judgment, we ave
Il Constitution uow which is far superior TO
any Constitution we have ever had, and IT
was the opinion OF some OF the Legislative
committees who looked into the matter Il
vorably with the Constitution 0! any other
State IN the Unlon. The IIcruii will please
state wherein our Constitution is detective.
j he tlik ABOUT 'tOlIlIcli negroes is on atIu
has lost its force. We are more disposed to
look into the merits of the instrument which
had been prepared for them ll!!n To- crii.ci>c
those who m.rrcly rave their votes in favor %!
the document of which any state in the Tn
ION might we'll be proud. South Carolina Will
never have II better Constitution tian The
one which these same "cornlivlI' negroes
adopted.
