"How can a pood Democrat Tote the coalition ncket. knowing Clark to be nnnlWPii tn tin. nrcpnl rniintv c-nvprn- ment'.'" We told him we did not take much etock in the politico "f the present day- and respectfully referred him to our friend Nunn.of the Juiknal. for further information. We clip the above U-iptit. h rtdtt: :- j thiJ city. I f we undemun "(jood I 't'mocrat.

If the proper representatives of the party de- eide upon a line of action in local mat- ters that in no way affect the funda mental principles of the party, a guod Democrat will yield his individual opin ions and po with his party. It is the same in State and National politics. Whatever the .State convention, or Na tional convention, decides as beet for the party, the "good. Democrat" will fall in line and supp-ri it. n" mutter what his individual ''pinion. Now this "pood Democrat" ought to know something of the condition of the political parties in this county. He ought to know that the Republicans have an evern helming majority, and if he has kept posted he ought to know that there are internal dissensions in this, party, brought about, it is charged, by bribing and corrupting delegates to their conventions, and that these dis sensions, have grown into two distinct factions. One of these factions, the conservative element, we believe, oilers to unite with the Democrat in electing members of the General Assembly and countv officers. The case stands thus: ti, party say to the Democrats, "we intend to rule this countv: we will nominate just such men as we want for county officers and send Green and Hussev to the General Assembly and we don't care whether you like it or not: in fact, the more you dislike our ticket, the harder we will work to elect it: we hate Democrats and hate everything that they like. " The conservative element of the Ke- publican party say to the Democrats: We havu a ''rule or ruin" element in our party : we can not hold a convention w"o tnem witnout a row. mey win not consent to a fair convention, but bribe ., ,, cauuiuateo ror ice cenerai issemuiy and we will meet in mass convention and endorse the ticket. " J.-j . t , li Now, we suppose this "good Demo crat,"" being a good deal like tho radical element of the Republican party, would have rejected and treated such a pr po sition with contempt. He would have replied, "No, give us all or we will . r ' . nave nothmg not ucb wise conservative staunch HochAH. H. U. firvun. Clement Vaniv. and after fully discussing the matter the names of C. C.

This would seem Pi be enougli for a ; vi Vauuerat. But it seems that this particular Democrat is solicitous about Mr. Clark 's position on county g overnment. If so. was it not just as easy to find Mr. Clark s office a that of the I'r-vc Tt"n7 Bn.ti't.7 We have not interviewed Mr. Clark on this matter, but we know the fact that his fitness for the positi n was thorough- ly discussed by the anj that Mr exLCUtive commit Jair.es A. Bryan. , . , , . , , chairman of the board o. county cona- missioners, and a man whose position on county government is well known in this county, warmlv advocated Mr. Clark as the proper man to put upon this ticket for the Senate. Now tho way for this I'emocrat to vote the coalition ticket, is to set: that his name is on the registration book and go to the polls on the 1st Tuesday in November and deposit his ballot. When he has dune this lie will have dine a iroiM thin,- for hi- county and com- munity , and w ill be none the less a true Democrat.

August iTth. It was slight in that city and other points, but at Summerville, the ' following from the -Vices and Courier of the next day gives thia information. . The reader will notice that this was on ' Friday preceding the fearful shock of the Tuesday night following: "It was about half past v o'clock in . the merning. the weather being fair i and with not the slightest indication of j what was in a few minutes about to transpire. All of a sudden aDd without ! the slightest premonition wf disturbance or danger, the shock of an earthquake : was distinctly felt. It produced, of course, the utmost consternation, as it ' lasted for several seconds. People left ' their houses and ran out into the streets I to avoid the imminent crash of a falling j house or a roof tumbling in on the in- j mates. lhe 6hock was particularly severe down by the depot, where, in some of the stores, Lowery's, Emanuel's and others, the articles were shaken from the shelves of the store to the floor. The shock allected a very large terri tory, inasmuch as every house within the town was shaksn, and reports have been received, covering a radius of at least four milea from Summerville which Btate that the shock was every where felt within that limit. "Some of the people from Summer ville who talked on the subject yester day, said that a rumbling sound was first heard in a northeasterly direction from the town, and that that sound was was followed by an explosion resem bling that of cannon at a distance. From this circumstance it is said by some of the people of the town that the shaking up of the houses was caused by the ex plosion of a meteor in the neighborhood of the town. This, however, would have been accompanied momentarily by a sudden blaze of light which, ac uording to trustworthy authorities, did not take place. The prevailing opinion is that yesterday's disturbance was a genuine earthquake." That the English goyernment is one of the shrewdest on the globe there is no mistake. Michael Davitt. who has been in the United States about two months lecturing on the home rule question in the interest of Ireland, has discovered that he has been followed by a short-hand reporter in the pay of the British Government. All of his speeches and some of his private conversation were taken down in full by the inde fatigable agent. The fact has just leaked out. Of all his utterances so go far, Mr. Davitt has the credit of hay ing been very temperate, and unless the speeches are misrepresented, the Eng lish authorities will find it dilncult to make any charges against him. Lively Work with. Pistols in Texas. ; Kennedy Station. Tex., Sept. 7.

A correspondent from Macon, Ga., writes to the Constitution that a church in that city bad secured the services of "an elegant soprana, a beautiful alto, a fine tenor and a fine basso and that the success of the church is now assured."

Helping Charleston Sending Tents to Shelter tbe Homeless.' Yesterday Gov. Scales received'. the following telegram from Gov. J. C. Sheppard, of South Carolina, dated Columbia, S, C. : "I have visited Charles-. ton. The destruction of property, is terrific. Money contributions will be gratefully received. Bain or wind will intensify the suffering. Can you spare any tents?s. We have not enough to -supply the demand. If so, send at once." The Governor also received the fol-. lowing telegram from May or E. D. Hall, of Wilmington: "The mayor at Sum oiervilte, S. C. , is calling for tents. We have none here. Can you not help them? They want all they can get." This is urgent." Gov. Scales at once called a meeting of the council of State and they agreed with him as to the necessity of sending tents at once. The State owns 180 wedge or A tents and 21 wall tents, with flies, &c. complete. Got. Scales telegraphed to Gov. Sheppard to know how many were wanted. Gov. Sheppard later sent Got. Scales . the following dispatch: "Many thanks for your prompt reply. Great ' relief " . will be thus be effected." The Governor also received the fol lowing dispatch from William E.Huger, mayor pro tern of Charleston: "All tents absolutely necessary. Will be more than obliged." The quartermaster-general, Col. F. A. Olds, shipped 180 wedge tents on -last evening's train, in a special car, fur nished by the courtesy of the Seaboard line. The tents go via Hamlet and. Wilmington. Tbe tents will hold Jour' persons comfortably. They are new and in perfect order. M. A. H- H&ynes was given charge of tbe tents by the quartermaster-general and goes with -them to Charleston, where they will be delivered to William E. Huger, who is acting as mayor in the absence of Hon. W. A. Courtenay. The tenta went through in car 863 of tbe Raleigh & Gaston road. Many thanks are due Maj. Winder and Capt.

Evidently the subterra nean disturbances are working them selves out and hour by hour more thought is given to the needs bf the present and the wants of the future. There is a feeling of sturdy self -reliance that is highly encouraging. No One doubts the ability to pull through. The pluck of the people rises beyond the height of the occasion. Mayor Courtenay 's return, too, this mora ine rutfl everybody in better spirits. Long before the usual Office hours he was hard at work sys tematizing and arranging relief measures and ascertaining on his own account the extent of the calamity. One of the first steps was to constitute as a relief committee a joint committee of the chamber of commerce, the mer chants' exchange and the cotton ex change, appointed by the city council. The several exchanges are represented on the committee, and mayor Courte nay will be chairman. . , At a meeting of the First Presbyterian church this morning it was unanimously resolved to make a general appeal for aid to the Presbyterian jhurches of the country. Their beautiful building is a total ruin and the congregation is im poverished. Contributions oan be for warded to Rev. W. T. Thompson, D. D., , pastor , . ,otv . , ' in issuing rations the committee are no respectors of persons, inis nas. peep demonstrated and tne expectation is that the colored ministers will be wil ling to co-operate with the general com mittee, instead of acting on their own account.

Shelter 1 has been pretty well provided for al the homeless, but expected rains-will cause much suffering. Rations are be ing issued to all personB who are reootn- , mended by any clergymen or any re putable citizens known to the relief i committee. Charleston will also fur nish rations in some way to destitute persons at Summerville and Mt. Pleas ant. There are rumors that country negroes will tlock in here in hope of living in idleness, and that cotton fields and truck farms will be deserted, bat this is not likely to last, if it begins, as great pains are taken to prevent loafers from taking ad vantage of the distribu. lion of food by the relief committee. A board of engineers are at work. They find that the parapet of the western p, .rtion of the custom house is seriously damaged and its repair will involve coii-iderable expense, but the building i- -afe and has sustained no other in juries.
