such haste to call nominating convention,
as il will be six months before the Congress
sional election, in November takes place
and the convention will probably be held
previous to the State Convention to make
nominations for the October election The
| Courier further says, at would certainly
have had the appearance of more fairness
towards Mr.. Clements if the nomination had
been ordered at later day The probabil-
lty is that Congress will not adjourn before
! the day selected for the nomination and it
is almost certain that it cannot adjourn be-
fore the people Of the several counties will
have to select their delegates to the Con-
vention. The appointment of so early a
time for making the nomination will CON
strain him either to neglect his Congress
| sional duties at the most important stage of
the session or lose the opportunity to meet
| his constituents and render to them an ac-
count Of his representation before nomina-
! ton for the succession has to be made. We
do not make these structures in the interest
Of any individual (for our paper has espols
ed the cause of neither aspirant but sim
| ply out of regard tor fairness and propriety
in all our public arrangements and proceed
ings. 1t behooves Mr. Clements friends
to see, in his absence that delegates are not
| stocked against him.
We accosted stout ablebodied. young
coored man, the other day ana asked him
if he had anything to do. He replied mo,
| sir" do you want work. He indifer-
emily answered, Don't know, sill" We in
sisted on hiring him, he set his price by the
day and we readily gave it, and put him to
| doing some out door work. We paid him at
the end of the day and told him to come
back the next day. He said II don't think
] can work any longer, the suns too hot.
And We couldn't induce him to work any
more, and we afterwards saw him lettering
around town, enjoying the shade, as happy
as If he was worth his thousands. The
young generation Of negroes won't work, if
they can help It.

The people Of this county are largely in
favor Of Hon. j. c. Clements reelection to
Congress but there will be an effort made
to defeat him in the interest Of Judge Fain
whn is now wearing the judicial ePmlne aud
canvassing the district in his own behalf.
We urge Clements friends to be true to
him and work for his reelection. He will
do the district more good than any new man
that can be sent there.
