Dots From Librrty.

MIR. EDIToM Having had occasion
to be abs"nt from the county som,
time past, the report has gone abroad
that poor ''Lulyo' WAS no more. He
still lives, and is about ready to moye
the Court House.
1t has been my pleasure to SEQ n
good deal of the crops in Inurcns,
SpartanburE, Grcrnyilc and Andor-
son counties, and feel proud to say
there is a pretty fair prospect yet. Il
some places the crops have not been
worked as they should have been,
but where they have been worked
they look well. Upland corn is good.
Candidates arc plentiful, and a
more pleasing, sociable, set we sci
dom ever see. OF course wo prom
iSc to help them all.
Liberty is still in hope Of the
Court House, and by the help of some
of our influential men "she is bound
to come. "Hcek," Your comcspon-
dent from Easlcy, calls on US to shoot
or give up the gun. We seldom ev-
cr MISS the mark.
Mr. J, T.. Boggs passed through
our town on last Monday onrouto to
lndianna to SEQ his brother, Mr.. John
BoGgs, who has been hurt very badly
by o horse. We wish tho editor a
safe journey, and hope he will find
his brother better.
l took in full view Of Pickcns
this wock, and see but ono obstacle in
the way Of the Court House move,
and thai is the handsome mansion of
Col. Hollingsworth; Of course he will
pull against us; but the Col. could
use that as n summer resort, and live
down here i'll the fall and winter.
Mr.. Addison Boggs has the finest
corn crop in this section; it has been
we'll worked.
Wheat is turning out rathor q
small yield. The straw and
chaff should be securely hous-
ed, for it will undoubtedly
be needed this coming winter,
fodder and roughness will bo in great
dcmand.
Eleven bales of cotton sold here
this week for So centsper yomd, and
| hear of moro to sell. Our cotton
buyer bought the above al PickeGs.
The candidates arc respectfully in
vited to call in and sec us as they pass
around, "ono at a timc," for we dis
like to fatter one in the presence of
tho others. 1t is to be hoped that
they will all patroni2e our ginger
cake wagon iberally. This is dry
County, and there is treating to be
done as in days of yoro. More anon.

Representation In the state
Convention .

Convention. "
The Constitution of the Democrat |
ic party in Section VII provides as
follows:
THE State Convention shall be
composed of delegates from each
coumtyin the numerical proportion in
which that county is entitled to in both
branches of the General Assembly,
1t will be observed that the Ian.
guage Of the Constitution is that rep
rentation shall be upon the basis of
what each county is entitled in both
branches of the General Assembly,
and not what they mey actually have
therein.
1t is one thing to be entitled to q
certain representation in the Legisla-
ture, and quite another thing, it
seems, actually to have such repre-
sentation-
Sumter county for instance is enti-
tied according to population to five
members to the house Of Represen
tativos, but actually has only four.
Greenvillc, Spartanburg, Laurcns,
Edgcfeld, Marlboro and Beaufort
are each entitled to an additional
member, but in fact are deprived of
their true representation. On the
other hand Charleston County accor
ding to population is only entitled tc
about seven members in the House,
but actually has twelve.
The reason why this inequality OK
lists IS owing to the deliberate refusal
OF bare majority of the State Sen
ate last winter, principally led by the
Senators from Charleston, to provide
for the census, although imperative
~ required by the Constitution of th
State, which Constitution it's mem
b ers had sworn to protect and obey
But if the State Senate has rofuscc
to do it's duty, can the Democrats
party i'll the State Convention rcfus
to do justice to the County?
Can the Democratic party afford t.
deprive these counties of their prope
representation in the State Convel,
ton? Are the counties Of Greenville
Spartanburg, LaWcns. Edgeticld ant
Marlboro-the very citadel of tn,
dcmocracy~-to be denied their ius
representation?
If the wrong done by the Stat
Senate is acquiesccd in by the Con
vcntion then Charleston will have
about ten delegates more than it il
justly entitled to, Richlnnd two ant
Aiken two, while Sumter Will be dc
priyed of two Delegates, Grcuvillc tvs,
SpartanburG two, EdGcticld, two Lau
r"ns two, Marlboro two and Beau
fort two, in the aggregate, change
of some thirty dolegatoa
The result may be that the whole
policy of the Democratic party to b,
embodied in the platform may b,
adopted, and every State officer from
Governor down may be nominated b,
n small majority of delegates wht
have no lawful right to seats upon
the floor of the Convention.
! Will such a result, accomplished b,
such means, promote harmony anc
cOntentmcnt in tho ranks of the Dem
ncratic party? Is it not right thai
the party should do exact Justice tc
all its members?
We would therefore advise that tho
counties of Sumter, Grccnville, Spar,
tanhurG, Ln'Tens, Edgcfrld, Mari,
borro and Beaufort, elect full dclcga
tions to the State Convention upon the
basis above mentioned, and that the
s ats of the unlawful delegates from
Charleston, Richllnd ana Aiken be
contested upon the floor of the Con-
Vcntion.-,S.Onter WutchMun and
SOuti,rOn.

Our Condition.

<1Ep
Our Condition.
Why is it that many of our best
farmers have been paying from fifty
to one hundred per ceut, out of their
honest hard earnings, dug out of the
ground, to their merchants for their
supplics7
1t was not 80 before the war. We
are the same people and live on, and
cultivate tho same kind Of land in
pretty much the same kind Of prod
ucts; and it takes as much labor to
cultivate the soil now as it ever did.
The merchants do not seem to be
making any better living than they
did under the old system Of laws; in
fact before the war it was seldom
thing for any Of our merchants to fail
now it is common thing, even
among those who make advances to
our farmers at such, seemingly, profits.
There are many causes for this con
dition of our people and the practical
solution Of the question, is tho great
question of the day; and as ncccssi-
ty demands the ca,ncst corsi,lnrot;or

GRAHAM TOWNSHIP.

Mr.. EDIToR:-As the CYCLONE
struck us forcibly last week, I thaught
a few items from this part might not
be miss.
Corn planting seems to be the order
Of the day, as we hear the click of
the corn planter from early morn until
late at night.
The Sabbath School organized at
the Mulberry shool house, is progress
ing nicely, with good attednance;
G. W. Buckmaster is Superintendent. :
Mr.. Brown and Lytle have come to
the front with a new corn planter,
purchased Of Sam. Garland. They
are wide-awake and well-to-do farmers;
they came to Graham county about
one year ago and settled on raw school
land; now, they have about IS acres
under cultivation.
Mr.. G. w. Shearer, late from Iowa,
brother of j. f. Shearer, one of
Graham county,s pioneers, is here to
stay; he has put in 80 acres of corn
and is still planting. J. +.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It seems as if
there is new rule established i'll our
county by an unimportant member
Of the the Teachers Examining Board.
That is, to show the work of all the
yonng teachers to half of the young
men in town, and thus ask and give
opinions of the applicant, which has
been done the second time, making
this part Of the county the subject.
The third time ! shall speak plain.
