THE LIGHT has received circular
letter from the secretary of the inter-
state harbor committee, dated Denver,
September 25th, containing majority
report, adopted at Denver, and supple
mental resolutions, with request that
the LIGHT publish same and "enlist
public sentiment in favor of deep
water on the northwest coast of the
Gulf of Mexico" These matters were
given to the readers of the LIGHT
some six weeks since and attention
has been called to this work again
and again in these columns. The
LIGHT would remind the secretary,
however, that the stenographic re.
port of the proceedings of that conven-
ton at Denver have not reached this
office and are anxiOusly waited for.
The committee meet in Dallas on the
18th inst, and will doubtless come to
San Antonio before leaving the state.
THE only thing positively known
concerning county politics is that no

COUNTY NORMAL INSTITUTE.

Last summer g pleasant and prof
table institute for the teachers OF
Sumter and Clarendon counties was
held in Sumter. and the year before
"a similar institute was held in this
place. This year Sumter and Clar-
.endon will, according to agreement,
unite again, and hold the Institute IN
Manning. No definite arrangements
have yet been made but the institute
viii probably be about the first OF
August. These teachers institutes
are great help to our school system,
and should be attended well. Every
teacher in the county should, with
much interest look forward to attend
ing them. The mingliog together,
exchanging ideas and plans, discuss
ing text books, and listening to the
lectures on new and improved meth
DDS of teaching, can but do good.

Suit has been commenced in the
United State Court against the bonds
men of Charles E. Bartlett, as cashier
of the National Bank of Sumter, and
the case will probably go to the May
term to be held in Charleston. LIE
roy F. Youmans and Noise 4 Lee are
attorneys for plaintiff and Earle &
Purdy attorneys for defendants. The
complaint sets forth the various
amounts of Bartlett's defalcation,
which foot up altogether over $4,000.
The liability of the bondsmen is only
to the amount of $4,000, which re-
mains to be established by the trial
of the case.

We7are informed that E. Il. Deas,
of Darlington, and Butler Spears, OF
Sumter, are now in this county in
the interest of the defunct Radical
party, and to foment strife and ami
mostly in the negroes against the
white man. They are riding over
the county, making speeches, and
doing all the devilry they can. The
Radical party in this county is dead
as door nail, and we hope the SEN

themselves to be gathered together

sire nothing but what Will accrue to
their own pecuniary. and individual

It is certainly handy in form, beau
tiful in dress, excellent in all mechan-

PRIMARY OR CONVENTION.

We have given the subject consid-
erable thought, viewed It practically
as to the results in this county, listen
ed to the arguments of the advocates
of each, and the conclusion we have
arrived at is, We would not toss up
our hat for the odds between the pri-
mary and convention plan of nomina-
ting county officers. Theoretically
we favor primaries, but we believe
equally as good and as satisfactory
results may be reached by the con
vcntion plan, and with far less trouble
and expense. The primary has its
decided advantages in giving every
Democrat the inestimable right and
privilege of himself voting for his IA
vorite, and therefore we say that the
oretically we prefer the primary.
Then again the primary has another
decided advantage or claim for pre-
ference. A Democratic nomination
with US now means an election, and
if we have the convention it deprives
twenty-four out Of every twenty-five
voters of personally casting their
votes for the several county officers.
The primary causes the candidates to
travel around the county, and get IA
miliar with the people aud the places.
But then, and that's what we look at,
equally as good RESULTS are obtained
from convention.
We would like for the advocates OF
each side to discuss tie question.
Our columns are open, and we will
gladly publish anything on the sub

We believe that the Town Council
now in Office has the interest of the
town at heart, and will do all they
can to promote the welfare of the
town. They cannot do everything,
but we believe they will do all they
can, according to their best judg-
ment. But they need and must have
the support of the citizens of the
town IN their work. Give them this
support, and in addition to good
streets and ordinary improvements,
we have an abiding faith that We will
get a town hall, and will get rid of

It is said that the Republicans in
this District will have a candidate for
congress, in the field this year. The
negroes. in Darlington have already
organized, with E. II. Deas for their
leader. We had hoped that the
negroes in this State were done with
such foolishness. South Carolina has
drunk too deeply of the bitter dregs
of radical-carpetbag rule, ever to al
low the reins Of government again
