Ncwberry's Jealousy.

The Democrats Of .tbbevllc say they only
want two more places for AGoGvillc u1rlmS
the present yenr. They would hkc 10 nave
Judge Cothran nom mated FOR congress anu
Mr. Parker elected judge, and unless there
should be another VACANCY, thcy WIN Try II"

,sfnr as we arc Informed, our ncighbor Is
mistaken in saying that "thc Democrats OF
!Abbeville say they only want two more places
Tor Abbcvillc during the present year. lheH
only want to keep the places they now nave.
OF course the Nesc6s,1y Herald ana Ne~S op-
iccts to any Abbcvillc man going to Congress
for the reason that that paper desires Ihe
place for one of Newberry's citizens. New
berry. Ahbcville and Anderson have e''eh
nandidstes in the race. Would the Hc'uta
and Se,rs rule Mr.. Benet and Judge Ccthrah
,,,r the track merely for tho reason that thcy
live n, the central portion Of the ConSreSslon-
81, District Why raise the question OF
,,eorrraphy at all? Why not let the people
,,,e f,r their choice in the matter? Wo feel
sure that our Ncwberry contemporary would
not say to Judge Cothran or Mr.. Benet, Aou
shall not run for Congress. we want 10 Seho
Il Ncwbrrry man to the capital" ii the He''
uYfi and Ne1vs cannot defeat the Abocrille can-
dldates on their merlt-by the superior merit
of its own candi!ate-wc hope that II VIII not
attempt to do SO on u question OF geography.
weure Mt a total loss to know why the Her.
,,ll and Nc,ps should object to Mr.. Parker
candidacy for the Office of judge. III Is mat
Tor of no concern whatever to the citizens OF
Newberry who fills the Office Of judge i'll this
.rndiciai district, OF which Newberry Is no
part at alh
We cannot see why Abbevlllc should be
blamed for getting the State superintendent
OF Education. Abbevlllle has not had state
officc in forty ycarS-not since Governor No
lilo held Office COL Rice reccivcdhis appoint
ment from the State Convention at which
Newberry had delegates. If the convention
did wrong TO give the place to Mr.. Rice, then
why not explain wherein that body crrea?
Where is the justice of censuring AoDeVn'e
candidates for what the State convention
did? Why does not the Herald and Ne'cs
.hold the Ncwbcrry delegates TO an account i"r
the sin of voting for so good u man as James
III. Rice?
The Executive Committee in their wisdom
,chosc to give the place TO General Bonhah'
Surely Abbeville was not to blame lor
that. We had no representative on that COM
1nittee. Newberry hasa memberof that COM
lnittec who was present the election OF zen
.erel Bonhan. Perhaps If the IIeraM ana
Ne,us would call on him he might learn some
thing of the motives that prompted that COM
1nittee in their action. We have heard
that the committee desired to punish
Capt. Farley for voting against the citadel or
something of that sort. After disposing o;
him, we have heard it intimatcd that Mr.. j.
@. Marshall was punished because Of his vote
in the State Convention for DR.. Maulden
for Lieutenant Governor All Of this may be
true, or none OF it may be true. We neither
assert nor deny, but we have heard such inti-
anatiops.
We trust our neighbor may not fire all his
shots at Abbevillc. Spite at Abbevlilc Will
hardly gain votes for q Newberry man.
