PATRONAGE THROWN A.
WAY. NEGRO DEMO
Gratis SAT DOWN
UPON.

The administration in giving
the appointments, or allowing
the American Colonization Socie-
ty to dictate as to who shall be
appointed Minister to Liberia,
simply throws an insult in the
face of all the prominent Negro
democrats, who have supported
the democratic party. This in
suit may do for the Negroes at
the South, but for those in New
York and Indiana, they will
resent it. Will not the republi-
cans say to those Negroes who
have voted the democratic ticket
that the democrats will after all
when they want 10 appoint some
Negro to some Office, ap-
point some republican Negro upon
the recommendation of some repub.
Ecan This is the wrong time
to play with patronage in that
way. Why not take up some
Negro who is wanted by the
leaders of some one of the states

WEDNESDAY, August Y, 1888.

The first primary election for Clar-
endon is over, and the second will
likewise soon be numbered with the
things that were. The county cam
paisn, up to this time, as far as We
know, has been pleasant, quiet, and
conducted in 3 civil manner. The
candidates ali have been bouyant,
and, for primary, the number was
small, Just thirty-two. There were Of
this number only twelve that could
be elected; twenty-five were inevlta-
bly, doomed to disappointms Mt. Yet
each one was high in hopes and e1-
peetations of success. Seven, that
lucky number, have experienced the
exquisite pleasure OF a primary cleo
ton crown pressing sweetly on their
Joyous brows; while twelve have en-
dured the disappointment attending
defeat, yet retaining the satisfactory
belief that they had the good wishes
and sufdrages Of an Intelligent and
appreciatiye minority. To the sue
cessful seven We tender our hearty
congratulations, with hopes That sue
cess and prosperity may ever attend
them; to the defeated dozen we wish
better and brighter things for them
in the future, and congratulate
them on the assurances, by the
votes they received, of the high es-
TEEN in which they are held by MI
monty of their constituents.
And there are ten left to endure
the suspense ofa second primary; five
of these Will, Ike the wise virgins, re-
ceive the well done of the voters: the
other five, ike the foolish virgins,
viii be shut, out, only they can try
again, possibly the next time with
greater success
All could not be elected, and it be-
hooyes defeated candidate to accept
the situation with the best possible
grace. Because the majority Of the
voters saw it to cast their ballots IN
favor of an opponent, is not reason sui
fcient for one to show bad feeling.
Each of the ten candidates for the
second primary viii do his level best
to get the majority of the votes cast,
but the FIVE defeated ones must quiet
" yield to the inevitable.
The second primary will be held
Tuesday, Sept. Ath. Let every Demo
cratic voter in the county, on that day,
take time enough to go to the poles,
and cast his ballot The poles will
be open, at all the boxes, from ten to
three o'clock.

A Druggists Testimony.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen used your Specific a
few years ago with & very obstinate
and malignant case of Scrofula, and
effected a radical and complete cure.
It was the case of a little colored girl
the daughter of a good customer OF
mine. The wife had died, and also
several other children with Scrofula
or Consumption. This was the last
living child, and she had the worst
case of Scrofula I ever saw. She had
a great many Jumps and holes in diff
ferent places about her face and
neck, so that she looked deformed.
He had tried great many remedies,
and had lost all hope, when I insist
ed upon his trying Swift's Specific.
He consented at last, if I would cred
it him until he could make crop,
which I did. Before he had used
a half dozen bottles he reported the
child well. Ten months after, when
I left the place, there had been no
resppearance of the disease. Three
years have passed now, and no re-
turn; I believe it a permanent cure.
I am using S. S. S. on another chron-
ic case of Scrofula, and it is growing
better every day.
