had been formerly declared the chosen
Democratic candidate tor Congress.
How this conclusion was reached is
not publicly UNDERSTOOD for Capt.
Norris stated that he went to Belton
through the county Monday night in
behalf of his cause, and it is known that
he purposed to prosecute contest up
to the time the executive committee
Tuesday morning. After the COM
mittee sat with closed doors for a con
siderable time, the doors were opened,
when Capt. Norris announced publicly
that he withdrew his contest. Then
the committee announced the official
total vote as follows For Johnstone,
5,551; for Norris, 5,529-giving John
stone a majority of %. Johnstone was
therefore declared the Democratic
nominee for Congress.
Col. Johnstone arrived in Anderson
on the AS train Tuesday afternoon,
and was met at the train by large
number of citizens and the Young
America band. Being escorted up
town to the Hotel Chiquola he was
called on for a speech, when he re-
sponded with expressions of thanks
for the kindness shown him personally,
appreciation Of The new responsibilities
now resting upon him, and assurances
that he regarded himself the chosen
representative of the entire Democracy,
and not of a faction. He pledged him
self to discharge his whole duty to all
the people to the best of his ability,
and urged the Democracy to stand as
man in readiness for the contest yet to
be waged in the general election.

Newspaper Enterprise.

TAbbeville Press and Banner, 18th ult. ]
At two o'clock on Saturday morning,
The Newberry Herald and News print
ed a full tabulated statement Of the
election, which took place in that
county on Friday last. That was en-
terprise.
Contrast that with Abbcville. At
Abbeville we received by telegraph
partial returns Friday night from few
boxes.
The telegraph office was closed lit
tie before twelve o'clock.
A number of interested persons
waited at Mr.. Benet's office for Mr..
F. B. Gary and Mr.. Hayne McDill 70
come from Donalds and Due West.
They came about one o'clock with re-
ports from these boxes
That was the extent of our informa-
ton Friday night.
Returns began to come in early Satur-
day morning, and by midday, all were
in. It took from then till about three
o'clock to make the official reports and
the tabulated statements, and to de-
clare the election.
To compare AbbevlIle and Newberry
printers on this occasion, it would seem
that the Newberry printers are long
way ahead.
We do not know how it was in New
berry, but in Abbeville no candidate
had made arrangements for a complete
return from any box. There are twenty
eight boxes, and some Of them are
twenty or more miles distant. AS a
business enterprise it would not pay
this printer to go to the expense ofget-
ting all these reports to print an extra,
when we could otherwise get them in
time for the regular issue Of the paper.
But as a matter of newspaper enter
prise, The Herald and News is ahead of
anything yet reported to this office.

The Influence of the Telegraph on Diction
[ From the Jewish Tidings.]

From the Jewish Tidings.]
Somewhere T read long ago that the
evergrowing practice of telegraphing
was undermining the grammar and the
literature of america. Though I be-
lieve that the literature of America,
especially of the United States, is but
just begun-barring, of course some
notable instances in the earlier history
Of our country, I csndidly confess that
in the very nature of the brevity OF
kilograms there is nothing which tells
against pure diction and sound gram

some Of the expressions this we'll

Standing. sitting, leaning; sad, smil-

variety of chic costumes; smoking a
cigarette, peeping over a mask, &c.,
she has challenged comparison with

After that she became fixed star in
the theatrical armament, and is now
an actress at the Eden Theatre in Paris.
She is distracting beauty, perhaps the
most beautiful woman in Europe. Her
skin shows the smooth, dead white OF
the magnolia blossom, q tint seer to
perfection among the Austro-Hunga-
rians. An oriental longer softens her
large, White-lidded eyes. She is tall, OF
generous build, and very graceful.

From the Kansas City Times.

Miss Helen Furniss of Cheyenne,
Wyo., is visiting her friend, Miss Bell
of Kansas City, Kan. Miss Furniss be-
longs to the only female company of
regular State Militia in the United
States. The company was organized
to celebrate the date Of Wyoming's
Statehood, and met with such great
approval that it was decided to make
the organization permanent, and the
young ladies were mustered into the
regular service of the State. Miss Fur

From the Anderson Journal
Editor Hemphlll, Of the Abbeyille
Medium, secured a denomination for
the State Senate in the recent primary
election over the Hon. C.. A. G.. Waller,
of Greenwood. Gen. Hemphill had tail
hold on Captain Tillman and got there,
while Mr.. Waller rar on his own
merits and was defeated. If Hemphill
had relied on his merits in the race it
is thought that Tillman's coat tail
would have been elected just so.

[Sumter Watchman and Southron. !
It gives US great qualification to an
noaace, after an unusually close con-
test, the nomination of Mr.. Johnstone,
from the Sd District for Congress.
The result of the vote-without
meaningto reflect upon the other can
didates-is a credit to the State. Mr..
Johnstone is man of high culture and

successful Congressional career.

is to be altered to that of two-masted
schooner. the main1nast being taken out.
But what is still more important, the entire
armament is to be changed from 6-inch
guns to 5-inch. The weight of the former
is about 1000 pounds each. with 6, 400 more
for the carriage. making a total of 7.4OO
pounds. The weight of the 5-lnch rifle is
about {, 200 pounds, and, with the carriage
added. about 1O, 400. Thus saving of 1900
pounds is effected for each gun. and even
with two extra 5-inch guns carried amid
and these. it is said, are accordingly nu-
thorized. This will give the bennington
eight 5-inch guns instead of six 6 inch.
The lessening in the weight of the forecas-
tie guns is specially noteworthy; and. in
fact, this substitution of 5-inch for 6-inch
guns at the bows, if not also throughout
was officially recommended in the British
vessels of tho Serpent type, although not
carried out in them,

quivering lip that her hand was caught and
that she could not lelease it.
Then other men and women, too, came
around her and offered all kinds Of advice
and told her to do this and do that, all of
