EDITORIAL NOTES.


DR.. Woodrow, by vote Of IL to 8, has
been acquitted OF the charge Of hcrcsy
before his Prcsbytcry.
The men who have rendered you cfli-
cicnt service in your county Offices arc
worthy OF your support.
The convention on the 2Sth is expect
cd to send Il delegation to Seneca to ar
range for primary for Congress in this
District.
Seven Of the Chicago anarchists have
been convicted of murder, and the pen
atty of death fixed by the jury, and an
other sentenced to 10 years imprison-
mcnt in the pcnitcntiary.
The Comptroller General and the
chief clerk and hook keeper in that office
nll say that Treasurer a. II. Wheeler, Of
Ncwbcrry, is one Of the best county
treasurcrs in the State. We think his
constituents should know this.
We will compare the essay read by
farmer johnson 1Iagood at the summer
meeting OF the State Agricultural Society
and State Grange with any article on
agriculture we have lcad in several
years. 1t Is Il most excellent production,
and from the pen OF Il successful farmer.
II you haven't read it, look up our sup
plcmcnt Of last week and go over il at
your leisure. it will pay you for the
trouble.
The letter containing my editorials
and the official advertisement Of the
South Carolina Military academy, which
were intended for last weeks paper,
were by mistake carried past Ncwbcrry

Is the first letter for the Office we have
had to miscarry in twelve months, and
this we think was due to the confusion
attending the large excursion which left
on that day for the mountains. Our
mail simply went with the crowd, rs is
quite natural.
Mr.. Tillman said at Abbrvillc that he
would not stoop SO low rs to mingic with
the corrupt crew, that had filled the
offices ut Columbia since 1876, unless he
was forced to go there as Il representa-
tive from Edgciicld, and is his lastl letter
to the News 4 Courier he calls the
farmers who have been in the Lcgisla-
turc tools and puppets, and we are told
that he called the lawyers thieves at
Ncwbcrry; If this was true we would
certainly be in dcplonble condition,
In n holt Inr l,r Ivan
who believe that Mr.. Tillman is mis-
takcn-that he is dcccivng himself, only.
We have heard it rumorcd that the
friends OF one of the candidates are MAX
Ing an effort to force Il nomination ut
the convention ut Seneca, without Giv-
ing the people the right to vote for the
candidate Of their choice. Can this be
true? We trust not, yet we have failed
to see anything from Judge Cothran's
organs asking for primary, and our local
contemporary was the most enthusiasts
tic of all for primary until the Pickcns
and Oconce conventions. 1t l. NOW
awfully quiet. We believe the last thing
Judge Cothran or his friends desire is Il
primary for Congress. The lawyers
want vacancy in the Judgcship, and
they don't believe the primary will make
It.
We copy in another column an cd-
tOrial from the Winnsboro News and
Herald calling Mr.. Tillman to books on
the charge, that "farmcrs have been in
tho majority IN our Legislature, but they
have been the tools and puppets, TO II
large extent, of those who thought little
and cared less for the agricultural inter-
ests OF South Carolina. We endorse
every word that the WinrSborO News
and Herald says, and we extend the
invitation to Mr. Tllman to include
Ncwbcrry when he begins to specify.
Farmers James N. Lipscomb, II. G..
Brown and j. A. Sligh have represented
our county in the Senate, and farmers
w. NJ. Dorroh, w. d. Hardy, j. G. VIII
son andJ. a. Sigh in the House, and
we do not believe that they have been
the tools and puppets Of any man or
mon. Prove these charges or acknowl-
edge that these gentlemen have been
treated unjustly.
