Colonel Norris for Governor.

To the Cotton Plant: Having not seen
among the newspaper nominations and
announcements Of candidates the name
of Col. D. X. Norris for 'guhernatorial
honors, and being sincerely impressed
(although personally unacquainted with
hiua) that he il in the natural line Of politi-
cal promotion for very valiant service of
both time aud money already given the
movement of the people, and being very
desirous of seeing 90 able, honest and
true reformer from principle justly re-
warded, take it upon myself, without
leaf or license, although stranger to
Colonel Norris, to urge his candidacy, as
fatter myself that know true re-
former when see him, and look upon
Colonel Norris as such, and feel assured
that he will get the support of very
large DER cent, of the farmers Of the State,
he being one of Us. and successful one
at that.
I frequently hear the following express
sion used by reformers, viz: II want q
man with ackbone." Well, that is the
kind Of man your humble writer
wants, but in addition to the backbone,
I want man that will, in proper lam
guage, resent insults, offered by his
equals and put them beyond resurrection.
sA&~s
governs the action of all gentlemen seems
to deter Colonel Norris in public meetings
from securing his merited position, un-
like most men Of political prominence he
seems to be more reserved.
No desire whatever to eulogize Colonel
Norris prompted this card, as I am, as
already said, only politically acquainted
with him, and it therefore cannot be
said that any interest whatever, only for
the honorable perpetuation of true re-
form, prompted this short letter. Any
necessary corrections, you will be kind
enough to make, and ask all papers
friendly to Colonel Norris or our cause
to copy. One thing I forgot to say. I
want apeas and hominy" but not much,
as extremes are dangerous; want it in
broken doses.
Yours truly,
"PRIMARY."

Negroes For Liberia.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2s.-The ne
groes here are eagerly watching for the
arrival at this port Of the steamship Cap
ulet, from Hamburg, which has been
chartered by the international Migration
Society to sail July for the infant me-
gro republic, Liberia, carrying S2O colo
nists and large general cargo. OF those
taking passage for Africa only ITO are
from Philadelphia, the others having
been collected throughout the South,
and are now gathering at Savannah,
where they will board the Capulet after
it leaves Philadelphia.
Mr.. w. G. Brockmeyer, the acting LII
beriap consul in Washington, will take
charge of the emigrants and cargo. Mr.
Brock kmever said that the eageIpess to
enlist in the movement looking toward
the population of Liberia with educated
colored people is becoming greater every
year, more especially in the Southern
States. This year, no doubt, the stagna.
ton Of industrial affairs has combined
with the glowing accounts of tlberian
prosperity to boom the emigration busl'
ness.
According to the graphic description
of one of the settlers in Grand Bassa
County, Liberia, contained iq q letter 10 70
his c0loreQ pretnr6u IA tulS oo4Htfyt " 40
"the garden of Eden, the paradise OF
God. Our wild beasts" he writes, "are
very docile-the leopard, elephant, and
different species of the deer and bear,
and many others of the quadruped fam
lily, are very quiet. They will all run
from Us, The natives are not hostile"
Most Of the emigrsnts who are 20 leave
Philadelphia are married men and have
families, the laws of Liberia putting a
premium upon wedlook by donating to
each married man twenty acres of farm
ing land and building lot in either OF
the settlements he may select, while un-
married men get each ten-acre farm
and town lot. Most of the immigrants
flock to Monrovia, the capital, which has
free schools, college and churches OF
several denominations.

No SIdetracking Now.
Columbia State. Jtlu 5.

The matter of the test Of the South
Carolina registration laws, which so
many lawyers hold to be unconstitu-
tional, took fresh start yesterday and ia
now on its wav to the United States
Supreme Court, witE probability OF
settlement prior to the general election
to be held in November, despite the tact
that the State Supreme Court of South
Carolina by postponing the hearing OF
the test cases brought therein apparently
killed out all chances of test prior to
the election.
Yesterday being the last day prior to
the election for the registration of voters,
a great many men without tickets pre-
santed themselves at the Richland super
visor's office and asked for tickets. A
great many were registered and then
again great many were refused. The
Republican Executive Com mittee, acting
by the Instructions of its attorneys, had
Joshua II. Lumsden and Isaac Hall, who
were qualified 10 register in 1882, but did
not do so, present themselves and apply
for tickets. The supervisor acting as
heretofore, refused to give them tickets.
The committee then gave notice OF an
appeal to the county board of supervis-
ors. If the county board of supervisors
sustains the supervisor in his refusa! 70
grant tickets, the matter will be appealed
to the Circuit Court, which meets here
in October, and if the law is still sustain
ed there the object Of the committee is to
carry the test i'm mediately to the highest
court in the land-the United States Su-
preme Court.
These new cases are taking the course
prescribed by the State law tor all griev-
ances against the supervisors of registra-
ton and there is no way for them to be
sidetracked. The attorneys for the Re-
publican committee, so one of the COM
mittee says. tried the other course ol
procedure in order to get the State Su-
preme Court to give an advance decision
upon the matter, without going through
all of the red tape necessary In the cases
just commenced. The appeal from the
supervisors decision in the two cases
mentioned will be filed with the county
board in FIVE days time.

The Successful Advertiser

Is The man who writes something the
people will read, and reading. believe. In
this age of education and enlightenment,
when men read and think for themselves,
all that stuff about ''selling goods cheaper
than your competitors buy them," being
the "only competent dealers in the line"
''handling better stuff than anybody
else," &C, is mere clap trap, aad subjects
the writer and the firm back o. it to the
contempt of all right-thinking people. The
man who has something to offer, and then
tells the folks about in plain, business
way, is the man who 'eesa there" and
getting there, stands.
Lots of people handle Paint. Some
handle one kind, some another, but they
oil realize, If they have any business sense
at all, that in order to make that businesB
permanent success It Is absolutely neces.
sary to give the people the very best ma
terial. This we have tried to do, and at q
price that puts it in the reach Of all.
In this connection We call attention TO
the fact tbat crops are aoouL ialu oy' @luo
is plentiful, and little paint not only
freshens and beauties, but improves WON
derlully the sanitary condition oil the
premises. II your house is all right may
be the fence needs coat. A little Paint
would keep that old buggy from falling
down. and the wagon might last year or
two longer by spending seventy. five cents
or dollar In Paint on it.
Remember this, the longer you put 1t
off tho more it takes and tho less good 1t
does. Remember another thing, 1t costs
Just as much, and takes just as much time,
to have cheap paint put on al it does good
Paint. Always buy the best, even If You
pay more for 1t.

The campaign during the last week has
NOT been SO bitter. We are glad to see
I the change. Our people should demand
sef the candidates a higher plane, or re-
spndiate the last one Of them. Therei is no
reason why the people should not have 8
zfsir discussion OF the issues Of tho day
Instead OF fuss. Both candidates for the
United States Senate are on the same
platform substantially. The State candi-
dates all belong to the same political
J faith, If not to the same ring. The Con-
servatives are not in it, and are having
nothing to do with It. Senator Evans
seems to have the crowds with him, but
sik Is claimed by the friends Of Gen.
Elierbe that he is fast gaining ground,
a1d that his friends belong to that ele-
ment who want peace, and do cot make
much fuss at a political gathering. Sena-
{ tor Evans has the advantage Of General
Ellerbe in that he is a lawyer, ard can
make good speech, while the latter is a
farmer, unframed in the science Of ora
tory. DR.. Pope's proposition seems to be
I fair, bnt meets with little favor. Mr..
Tindall is too Conservative. He can
nayer be elected without abusing Judge
Haskell and the antics generally. We
would say something about our idea of
{ the man that should be elected, but some
! say it won't do, for ths people will take
J: lust the opposite Of what we sug Jest.
However, why can not the people give us
aTillmanite like our own County man,
ID. K. Norris? Why not repudiate every
rerv 8 IRENE man, and elect one who
viii be Just between the people without
raoard 10 factions3 Can't we hope for
peace ever? Are we always to be divid-
I'd The Conservatives seem willing 10
make more than half Of the concessions
Necessary to- .speace and unity"

Held up TIE Train.

SAVANNAH, June 28.-Train No. 6 Of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way from Thomasville, due to arrive
here at 7 o'clock this morning was held
up one mile this side Of Homerville, l26
miles southwest Of Savannah, this morn
ing at 1:50 o'clock, by six masked white
men. The safo in the express car was
robbed of its contents, $l,22 In cash.
Two of the men boarded the train at Ho-
merville, concealing themselves behind
the tender. AS soon as it started they
climbed over the y !. VI, covered the en-
gineer and fireman with pistols and told
Engineer Jenkins to stop when ordered.
About mile from Homerville the order
was given and the train brought to
standstill. Then four other masked men
Joined the party, and, while two kept the
engineer covered, they proceeded to get
into the express cor.
Conductor Farris came out with train
hand to investigate the cause OF stopping
but did not stand on ceremony when or.
dered to return to his car. While two OF
the men kept watch the other two order
ed the express messenger, Calder. TO
open the door. He refused, and was then
told he had better get opt OF the car. Ae
heard one of the men lighting fuse, and
mite cartridge exploded, breaking the
door from its fastenings and completely
stunning the messenger. When he came
to he was looking into the barrel of a
pistol, and was ordered to throw up his
hands, He did not hesitate long, and
when told to open the safe he did 80, TAX
ing the packages out as ordered. The
robber-there was only one In the car
gathered up the money in his arms and
went to Join bis associates. They got into
the engine, made the fireman lpoonple
it from the cars, and then compelled both
engineer and fireman to leave it.
They took the engine, ran up to point
in the woods near Argyle, eleven miles
from the scene of robbery, where they
left the engine and took TO the woods.
AS soon as they left, word was sent 10 the
officials here, who ordered freight to
bring up the passenger coaches to their
engine.
Sheriff Frank Dickerson, Of Thomas
County, one of the most daring officers
in the State, at the head of posse, reach
ed the scene about four hours later, and,
with a pack Of hounds from MoRae's
convict camp, started in pursuit OF the
robbers, who were thought to have gone
off in the direction of the Okefinokee
swamp, which is thirty miles away. The
officials believe the robbers will be cap
tured. Up tos o'clock tonight the dogs
had not caught the trail. The robbers
did not entar the nail car nor any OF the
passenger coaches, their only apparent
object being to secure the money In the
express car. The passengers were con-
siderably alarmed for the time being, but
no one was hurt, The train arrived In
Savannah 1883 O'CLOCK this morning,
about four hours late.
