Election of school Trustees.

The school trustees of tho different town.
ships should be appointed only after they
have been elected by the Democratic voters
There is no officer who comes so directly IN
contact with the people rs the school trustee
and there can be no possible objection I" al
lowing the people to select these officers
while there are objections to their arbitrary
appointment by the School Commissioner.
In the first place. no administrative officer
can please the people rs we'll rs they can
please themselves, and In the next place the
election of the trustees by the people relieves
the School Commissioner from the discourage
of Il disagrecablc duty. AS matter OF ihct'
the appointment and removal Of trustees
may give rise to more dissatisfaction than
almost anything else, and for the sake OF
harmony and good feeling, the right OF elect
ing trustees should be extended to the peo-
pic. Nothing would excite greater interest
in the schools, and nothing could better Sc
cure faithful and impartial discharge OF
delicate and responsible duties than the clcc
t,on of school trustees in each township.

them back, saying that "Colonel CothIan
wanted to give them some good meulcine,
which they needed and which they shoulu

them, and Colonel Oothran gave them good
medicine" throughout, and promised his DEM

to by Il vOlley OF pistol shots. The fag-bearer
ran for his life and escaped with one or two

was much firing In the mir. which caused a
general stampede. The day was Democrat

Prohibition in Atlanta.

The newspapers have much to say against
prohibition in Atlanta. As rule, the city
newspapers think prohibition good cnoas h
for the country, but bad for the city. The IL
cense fees OF a large city are Il great revenue
10 the city. Therefore, we take the opin-
ions OF the great daily newspapers against
license with some degree Of allowance for
their prejudice against movement which
dcprives The treasury of large sum. 1t is, IN
our opirion, often more question of finance
than morals with townsfok. For this reason
the arguments Of city newspapers against
prohibition, have no weight with US. The Il
ccrse fees for the sale of liquor should go in
to the treasury Of the county.

Wednesday. Aug. rs, 1886.


The primary election In Abbevillc came OIL
last Saturday. At Abbcvillc everything was
notably quiet, and the day passed without
amy extraordinary occurrence. We believe
the same is true at all Of the voting precincts,
There were rumors ailoat that whlSkcy hld
been sent to some of the boxes in The country
hut we saw no evidence Of the correctness OF
the statement, and certainly saw no sign oi
whiskcy on the streets In Abbcyille. III
cannot be that whiSkry was used FOR cicc-
1ionccring purposes, for the reason thai
the white voters Of the county woulu
not submit to such an improper use Vi
Intoxicating liquors, and for the iurthcf re'''
son that we do not believe that any cahul-
date before the people would gam votes
j., that way--cvcn If the votes were for sale
-, 81 chcap n rate. The best sentiment o.
,his county would most cordially condemn
rho oct of treating to forward the interest OF
,rv candidate. and the candidate who would
,,o so would cndanger his prospects OF cleo
tion.
rhc managers OF the election met in the
Court House, on Monday to aggregate the
votes, and to declare the election, the official
report of which will DC found elsewhere in
these columns
The result of the election was q surprise to
many. Some of the candidate who had gone
out most among the people. received fewer
votes than others who remained at home.
which fact, like the action Of the recent State
convention, goes to show that the people are
now doing more of their own thinking than
formerly. The desire seemed to prevail
ameng the voters throughout the county TO
send but one lawyer to the Legislature, and Il
careful examination of the figures Will show
that there is at least the sembiance OF
grounds for the belief Hundreds OF farmers
must have voted for only one lawyer.
But whatever the motive for leaving out
she lawyers, there can be no doubt that they
, have elected good men. We have four first
rate men nominated for the Legislature.
while the fifth place is not yet filled. Tho
people are called upon TO decide Sat,
urtlay, September which they VIII
take, DR.. Waddell or Capt w D. Mars Both
are good men, and the peoples interests Will
not suffer in the hands Of either.
As u rule the result of the election seems
TO By entirely satisfactory to the people.

The Congressional Primary.

Abbeville county seems to be solid for the
Congressional primary. AS far as we heard
there is not voice against it. The County
club elected delegates to the Seneca conven-
tion who were instructed to seek the co-opc
ration of the other counties in the District in
bringing about this result. There seems to be
Just objection to the convention plan Of NOM
nations, and we trust that the primary may
prevail
