rs THE PARTY A FAILURE ?

In another column will be fonnd q
very sensible article under the above
caption, copied from the NeWS anil
sf'0N,IeT, and written by n gentleman
from Chester. The writer e~vinces con-
sidera5le knowledge Of political, econo-
my, and proves himself to be q deep
thinker.
His most sensible observations are
concerning the primary elections. in
I which he raises the question, If their
scope is not being too widely extended.
We believe this is true. Primary cleo
tons do very we'll for counties.-but it
iis even q question with some if their day
of usefulness in this respect has not
passed-but when you extend them SO
as to include State and Congressional
officers. the scheme does not seem at all
practicable. To sift it down, it is the
old story Of "giying an ell and taking
an inch" In all reason, we would like
TO know, what more voice, the people
rs q WHOLE, would like to have in the
nomination of these officers? They
elect the men who go to the conventions
and it is their own fault, if they send
those who do moi truly representation.
ls not the hue and cry being now raised
quite q reflection on those we have hith-
srto sent to represent us in the nomina-
ting convention L? Yet who will dare
charge these gentlemcn,-we refer par
fcuiarlY now to the delegates sent from
AbbeAi:le county,-being Influenced by
rings and political trickstcrs. Several of
them come directly from the people, and
were unknown in the political circles of
the state having never held office or been
present in q convention outside the lin
its Of their ndtive county. Strange in
Aucnce the air Of conventions outside
of Abbcville must exert on delegates!
Again. is there one instance on record
where a man was nominated for office,
in direct opposition to the wish of the
people? Was the Hon. D. WYATT Aiken
man whom the people objected to ?
Was Solicitor Orr the marked man ?
Which one Of our Shareholders is obicc.
Sttionab!e to the masses Of our people ?
II cannot be the Governor. for they
Claim him pre-eminently as the choice
pr the people. Is it farmer Lipscomb?
Why he is the very man that the far
mers claim, and they arc in a majority
IN this State. Lieut.. Governor Shcp-
pard rose by degrees to his present po-
sit'on and SO did the Comptroller-Gen len
eral. We have never heard any obicc-
ton to the State Treasurer, nor to the
.Adjutant and Inspector Generals. The
Attorney General, is the only man from
the ~low.country and surely they are en-
titled to have one representative on the
State ticket I?
Who>then is the man the political ag-
i~tators are aiming at?
Who is it, that is raising this commo-
tion anyhow :? Is it the people. or a
few sore-heads. who hope to ride into
office, in q political upheaval
Haven't the people all the power they
want! Haven't they all the power
they can use practically? What more
they want, or what more do they
We confess we fail to see.

1t would not be fair to Judge
any preacher by one sermon.
Judging Sam Jones by his sermon
tonight, one would say that the
distinction of his intellect con-
sists in
A REMoRsELEss COMMON SENSE.
He Is not afraid of the humor-
Gus side of truth, and he has no
mercy for shams.
He is at the furthest possible
remove from a literary preacher.
He trusts his own eyes, and takes
the world and human nature at
first hand. He seen to believe
that the church of Che present day
is not enough in earnest, and he
draws the arrows of his criticism
from the armory Of ridicule, and
one would hardly pick out Sam
Jones as the greatest man in big
crowd. He is q typical Georgian
from the mountain district, with
just drawl enough TO heighten the
effect Of his humor. He is, how
ever, familiar with the slang of
the cities, and he employs it when
he finds it more expressive than
the English of polite and particu
lar society. ~
Ii he were more academic he
would.be Tess. vivid and graphic;
but he must be . perfect terror to
communities whose culture stands
about knee deep in grammar. If
he were a fool as well as an oddity
he would not be. tolerated; but he
says more pithy and striking
things in an hour than an ordina-
ry man would say in year.

The tabernacle seats were filled
at an earlier hou. than usual for

about the congregation an air of
excitement which indicated that
they awaited with some impa-

Joues on the scene.
The two evangelists, after a

beach in private communion,
while the congregation gathered
in the tabernacle and passed the
time in singing.
Mrs. Werleln played the organ
and Mr.. Excel gave several
beautiful solos.

Mr.. Excel sang a hymn begin
