THE COUNTY TICKET. Wo have had offered us a county ticket. The question is, shall we accept it, shall we amend it or shall we put out a new ticket entirely. This is a very serious matter. The ticket offered is not such as we all would like to have. Then we ask, can we better it ? Can we elect this ticket, and if elected will it be of any benefit to us as a party, or Will it help the colored man ? They say wo should not raise the ques tion of color, but there is so much color in our party that we can’t help mentioning color some times. The Messenger would say to the convention which meets here on next Saturday, if you cannot better this ticket, take it as it stands, go to work, organize and lets wi:i in the coming election. We say to you, know no favorite, consider no indi vidual promise, but look for the good of the old State. The principal objection by Re publicans to the ticket seems to be the candidates for Register and Clerk. Those are good paying places, but can we offer for these tnore acceptable men ? If these can didates will promise to do the square thing, it might be best to leave the ticket as it is. It might be best to make no changes at all. It Is hoped the party will bo repre sented by its best men and wise ac tion will be taken. We should not determine to defeat the ticket be cause our favorite is not on it, but let each one of us advise the course in which there is most probable suo> Cess, and then stand by the old flag, tt matters not whose name is on it For Ote Messenger. Mr. Editor: —Perhaps you will bo interested in hearing from this section (Spartanburg) where so many of those belonging to the gay circle of Charlotte arc spending the summer and vacation. I have spent the summer very busily in the school room, and performing other duties of a kindred nature. This section has been heretofore destitute of any schools other than those which have been taught by students from Biddle and Scotia during va cation for the last four or five years, two or three months each summer; but the people are now beginning to recognize the fact that education will aid greatly in bringing about a proper recognition, and without it the rights of citizenship are of but little importance to them. Ilcnco steps are being taken by the colored people of this section to support a permanent school from their own resources. Doubtless much of the interest which is being manifested is due in a large measure to the re cent registration law of this State, which will hinder the illiterate from voting, thereby legalizing fraud, or it is a legalized dodge of the fifteenth amendment. The colored teachers of this county met in convention on the 4th and sth of August. The object was an interchange of ideas on tho various modes of teaching. Its age is four years, but -to a regu lar attendant, tho last was more of a success than any other, because there was a better representation of teachers than heretofore, and more interest was manifested than at any previously held. This is doubtless due to tho increase of intelligence among the teachers, which enables them to appreciate its importance. There was a pleasing evidence in the advancement of the art of teach ing, as was shown in the remarks and other exercises. Notwithstand ing this the convention was com posed of raw material, and however meagerly the various subjects rela tive to teaching were discussed, all in attendance were benifited, and returned to their schools with new ideas. There wore also orations, essays and extracts on the subject of teaching, but the essays by Misses N. E. Latham and S. B. Lord, de served special attention. EXHIBITION. Saturday, the 2nd of September, six miles west of Spartanburg C. 11., S. C., near the Air-Line railroad is a school house, which has been occu pied two months this summer by Miss N. E. Latham. Invitations were extended, announcing that the closing exercises would take place on the 2nd instant. The morning exercises consisted of examinations in arithmetic, history and grammar, a spelling match and a few speeches. Next in order was dinner. The long table groaned, as it were, under the many good substantials, and af ter the pupils and friends had par taken heartily, all left wanting nothing. Tho afternoon exercises consisted of select readings, dia logues, compositions, &c., prepared for the occasion. The audience was large, and tho varied exercises wore such as to hold tho attention and in terest all throughout the exercises. The programme was well prepared and the classes examined in tho dif ferent branches seemed to under stand thoroughly what they had been taught. Tho whole cxerciso was highly commondable, showing efficiency on the part of their worthy teachor in imparting instruction, and diligence on the part of tho pupils in receiving. After the pro gramme had been exhausted tbero were addresses by Rev. Geo. Wof ford, -Mr. Tumor, a trustee, and others, urging the importance of ed ucating the young, morally, ment ally and physically, that thoy may become good citizens, and an orna ment to the society and community in which they live. After these ex orcises all went away, having been highly entertained, and much de lighted at the progress of their children under t»«d rare of their as siduous ius! ruetiw. , Miss Latham, whoso con;; .leii y: -a teacher is unquestioned, ai.d .vberefer she teaches, establishes jor herscij an enviable reputation. Yours truly, R. M. A. Welford, S. C., Sept. sth, 1882. THE ISTHMUS EARTH QUAKE. More Disastrous Than at First Appre hended. New York, Sept B—The Centra! and, South American Telegraph company. - although they have not yet thrown open their lines, which have been com pleled to the public, furnish to the press the following additional particulars ol the earthquake which occurred yesler day ou the Isthmus of Panama, and which was more disastrous than yes terday’s brief dispatch repelled. A cable dispatch from the superin tendent of the company at Panama, dated to-day, says the damage done bj the earthquake turns out to lie gn-atei than was first thought. The cathedra! and many of tiie largest buildings in Panama are badly inj ured. The loss in this city is estimated at several hundred thousand dollars. Several lives have been lost in Aspinwall. There is no communication with Aspinwall, oilhei’ by rail or telegraph, and many bridges on the line of road are broken. YELLOW FEVER. Forty-Eight New Cases at Hrownsville —Abating ut Mntamoras. Brownsville, Tex-.'.s, Sept. B.—There were forty-eight new cases of yellow fever and two deaths, the latter Mexi cans, within the 24 hours ending at mid night last night. There are also four new cases among the troops at Fort Brown. The number of fever cases at Mata moras grow less day by day. There have been no deaths there since Wed nesday. A Call for Relief From Pensacola. Pensacola, Fla.. Sept B.—The board of health bulletin announces nine cases of yellow fever to-day, the eleventh day of the scourge. If the disease be comes epidemic, whicli the gloomy as pect threatens, there will be great need of pecuniary relief, a large proportion of our residents being strangers to this people and climate. If this relief comes too late it might as well not come, as witness Memphis and Grenada, in 1878; therefore we appeal to benevolently dis posed to contribute to our threatened necessity through the New York Her ald.

Board of Ueal tb. Rain Storm and Flood in Texas. New Orleans, Sept. B.—A Pieayui e special from San Antonio, Texas,says a violent rain storm commenced there at 4 p. m. Wednesday and continued un til midnight. The rainfall was six inches and the streets were llooded. The San Antonio river rose eight feet and maiiy houses in the lower part of the city were flooded. San Pedro creek, passing through the western portion of the city, rose rapidly, washing away all the bridges and houses on its bauks. It also carried aw ay 500 bales of cotton. One man is reported drowned. The International Railway suffered severe ly. Between this city and Austin sev eral small bridges were destroyed and there were no trains over that road yes terday. The San Marcos river rose rap idly. The Rio Grande overflowed the towns of Eagle Pass and Camargo and is higher than before sinee 1850. Ap prehension is felt for the safety of Brownsville and Matamoras. The Race (Question at Carlisle. Carlisle,Pa.,Sept. 7—A question has been sprung upon the school board of this town which is giviDgsome anx iety to the teachers of the public schools. The accommodations at the at the Indian school at the Carlisle bar racks are entirely insufficient for the entire number of children that have been sent from the Western reserva tions, and about 50 of them have been hired out as servants to citizens of Car lisle, one of the conditions being that they are to attend the common ssliools. A number of families having little In dians in their employ have therefore made application to the soliool hoard for permits to send them to school. The general smtiment of the board and of the citizens generally is against admitting them, hut it is a question as to whether thev have the power under the laws of tlie’state to bar them out). It is contended by many that they must be dealt with us"therapprentices and wards of schools are, without refer ence to the fact that they are the chil dren of Indians “not taxed,” Mr. John B. Bratton, secretary of the school board, has addressed a latter to the State superintendent of public edu cation, giving him the facts in the case and asking for his opinion as to the right of these children to attend the public school*. It is possible that there may lie a little race prejudice at the bottom of the opposition, but it la urged with good reason that the schools Sre already overcrowded. The applica ons already on lie contemplate the admission of Indian servants and ap prentices to the schools for white chil dren. There are four schools for col ored children in the town, hut It is not proposed to mix African and Indian pupils. Exf jplpior “ Mosquito.

Tiie propriety of running a colored man for some o"f our County offices has been discussed very frequently amongst tiie leaders of our race, and surely, rep resenting the voting element of the Re publican party as we do, we are enti tled to some of tiie offices bestowed by the suffrage of the people. lam one of those who think it high time that the colored [>eop!e should be rewarded for their devotion to their party, and act ing upon this reasoning, and the soliei talion of.mnny friends, I announce my self as a candinate for the office of Con stable, in Charlotte Township.
