DEMOCRACY ON DECK TODAY.
STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS TO
BE ELECTED.

Handsome Majority. Local Cam

The state and county election occurs

Small registration.

IL probable that the pOpulists will not
I ~ more than 250 of these. Their
strencth is principally in the Twelfth
S;stricr which is conceded to them by a
onaII majority. In the other seven dis
+rjcts Of the county the democratic ticket
;s almost without opposition and
will be given large maj0rities.
While there has been an apparent
a,atbv in the unity, owing to the GER
+ain success of the democrats, some
0niet work has been done in the last
fer DAYS towards stimulating the voters
Ia make the small sacrifice of time nee
essary to get their ballots in, and this

i,rity larger than it otherwise would
be.
The only feature of the state ticket
about which there is any apprehension
is the constitutional amendments pro.
yiding for the election of solicitors and
iudges of the superior court by the PEG
nle, The general feeling is in favor of
taking the election of these officials out
of the hands of the legislature, where

The great mass of democratic voters, i!
not all, are in favor of the amendments,
which require a majority vote for their
ratification. The citizen desiring to
yO.e for these amendments must see 30
it that he strikes out any provision
which appears on the ticket reading
against" etc. All tickets have the
amendments printed twice, with the
word "for'' before one set and the word
against" heading the others. All that
is necessary is to strike out which ever
one it is desired not to support.
For the legislature Judge J. A. Laing
the democratic nominee, is opposed by
Mr.. D. A. Gammage. Judge Laing has
served the people very acceptably both
as solicitor and judge of the county
court, and will ably represent the county
in the general assembly.
Three Of the democratic nominees for
county Offices, who are, with one excep-
ton, the present incumbents, have popU-
listic opposition. Five of them have
been n office from eight to thirty years,
and have defeated opposition and com
pleted each term of Office seemingly

INTRODUCTORY.

The hush of evening had fallen like benediction Of peace upon the town of England. had strolled out q llt- tie way from the business quarters of Inc town, and stood drinking Tn the inspiration of the scene. The moo ! seemed to be reveling in all her gloFs, and in her gracious humor, showers of soft. mellow light were allowed to rain down on the dusky landscape around. There were just enough shadow to lend to the scene touch of pathos, and the bright patches of silver thrown as with a careless hand and yet with such pre- cision here and there reminded me of the musical ripples Of 0 simple song grown tender with years. For a lew moments travelled slowly back ward along the corridors of the past, clothed in reverie, unmindiul of the present. The solemn bay of a dog in the distance aroused me. A negro, on his nightly tramp, began to sing, and a hoarse-voiced animal Joined in with an accompaniment. Recalling Shakespeare, I repeated softly to myself
 The man that hath no music in himself,
 Nor is noe moved with 6 concord of sweet
 sounds" etc.,

CITIZENSHIP.

In considering 0 town or com munity, one should always sum up and weigh the advantages and dis advantages with an impartial reck- oning, compare results, and let his decision rest upon a foundation builded of a judgment born of facts. While these facts necessarily should be of many forms and varied natures, there is one fact which should never be overlooked, and which enters largely into both the warp and the wool, as it were, of every com munity-the character and general nature of the citizenship. The main features of the citizenship of England and the England district, one will naturally draw from the general body and tone of this article. The people are D social, wide-awake and enterprising people. For further in- formation on this line, the reader is left to the business and other men tions which follow.

The broad acres and the cotton are seen on ev- cry hand. The stores, with an in- flow and outflow of customers, and the busy, hurrying, bustling, rushing scenes-they are all here. hepaved streets, and the large, stately bricks are not here now, but will be soon. The beautiful residences and the rose gardens, too, are somewhat limited in number, but the future holds them in store, and they will be delivered, paid. all in good time-some of them ere the passing months have length ened into another year. Oil still serves instead of electricity in light ing the town. The song of the saw and the ring of the anvil and hammer can be heard any day, but the buzz of machinery is not yet disturbing factor.
 But enough of this. There are those waiting and anxious to know in full the little town of which 1 write and it's surrounding territory, and the probabilities and possibilities at tendant upon each.
