TOO SOON.
A rumor has obtained currency that
several gentlemen of our county were
already in the field as candidates for
the next Legislaiure. Without stop
ping to consider the claims of any of
the gentlemen whose names have been
suggested, we must say that we are op
posed '.o the whole movement, as in our
humble judgment the agitation of pol
ities at this earl v day must inevitably
prove detrimental to the private inter
ests of everybody—most especially to
the vital interests of our planters, upon
he success of whom every other branch
of industry depends. The signs indi’
cate ihajb the coming canvass will be an
intensely exciting one, and when fairly
open, will engross tho public mind, and
a'.tract the attention of all classes of
citizens. Four months yet intervene
between the present time and the elec
tion, and as many weeks will be fully
long enough to excite the people and
disturb the business of the country.—
We are fully aware that several combi
nations have been attempted, but till
melted atvay like early snow when it
touches the yet unfrozen ground, and
we had indulged the hope that aspirants
for political honors, af or these failures,
would desist from their efforts to ad
vance their private interests when every
effort in that direction was so palbabjy
injurious to the public welfare —
Last year was a terrible failure in every
depar'ment of our farms,and at this very
time many of our people are driven to
the utmost extremes to make the present
crop—living on little, anything, and in
many cases almost nothing. The present
year, so far, has been extraordinarily
sesaonable, and a bettor prospect for an
abundant crop of all kinds has not been
seen in old Burke county for years, and
if the seasons continue and our laborers
remain faithful to their work, ouce more
will plenty bless the land. Under these
difficulties and with these prospects, we
tire informed, our laboring people, both
white and black, are laboring dilligent-
ly to retreivc the disasters of last year.
It is well known that the great body of
our laborers belong to the colored race,
and are an excitable people, and if stir
red up on politics will neglect their
work, and give their attention to these
matters. For these reasons, we believe
that every thinking man in the county
— especially our farmers—will sustain
us in saying that i: were far better to let
politics alone lor at least two months,
when the crops will be secured. Candi
dates will then have ample time to
spend all their surplus cash, tell all
their virtues, and hea” all the ir faults
told by their neighbors.
'e remembrance their warm hearted
disinterested assistance in that
krgency—raising and paying for him

ADMIRERS^ OF MR. STEPHENS.
Mr. Editor : In the last issue of
the Herald there appeared a com
munication, in which these remarka
ble phrases occur; ‘‘It is singular
that men ot' no political experience
should so bitterly oppose the course
of the great Commoner.’’ Further
down, as if to explain the cmi9e of
such a Quixotic utterance, the
“potent, grave and reverend” Ex
ponent of Political Experience gives
vent to the following burst of senti
mental gush and enthusiasm : “Thou
shalt not bow down and worship, etc.,
is the sole injunction against a desire
on my part to do so, and cousider
him (Mr. Stephens) morally and
politically spotless.” In this intense
style is the agony piled on, until the
highly-imaginative Doctor passes off
in a delirium of frantic transport,
which is climaxed and happily
terminated by a felieitious invoca
tion !
• The style of the said glowing article
is highly tragic, not to say pathetic
—while the polemical display is
astounding and profound. To the
average thinker, it is neither amaz
ing nor perplexing that otic, who is
so easily translated into the realms of
blind idolatry and hero-worship,
should-at the same time be guilty of
such singular sentiments and expres
sions. The writer, unfortunately,
possess “no political experience,” and
consequently — according to the
sublime logic of the aforesaid ais-
thetic article, is sadly deficient in the
capacity to judge, and should not,
therefore, ‘‘so bitterly oppose the
course of the great Commoner yet
he is an humble individual of a large
clays, who do not view political
characters through the highly mag
nifying glasses of the enthusiastic
Doctor, and who have not that ex
alted conception of the sootless and
immaculate sage of Liberty Hall.—
Furthermore, there are thousands of
intelligent voters all over the State
who, while they do not posses iu an
eminent degree the all-necessarv
“political experience,” are preemi-
nently capable of approving steadfast
loyalty, and condemning (by their
ballots) palpable duplicity. Conse
quently, unbeknown perhaps to the
enthusiastic Doctor, who in his senti
mentalism secs but one man, there
exists a large class of persons who
are not wafted into heroics by the
eccentric platitudes of this erratic
astronomer of the political heavens.
This little man, Alec. Stephens, has
been inflated until he stands, like the
Colossus of Rhodes, with one foot on
the neck of the Bourbons, and the
other extremity on the body <>f the
Coalitionists, and in the attitude of a
thundering Jupiter, he issues his
mandates and orders—yet he will
find many who. animated with some
thing of the same spirit that inspired
Cassius, will not creep under the
huge legs uf this political Tarquin
and peep about to find themselves
dishonorable graves. If this he pre
sumption, then make the most of
it. Brutus.
— Mr. C. W. Hurst now smiles till
his face resembles a circular saw. Its
a girl, and one of the finest in the county.
—“To border or not to border V' is
now the question which agitates our
young ladies in the making up of their
new muslins. Never mind whether
you do or not girls—you are bound to
look sweet and pretty in them anyhow.
—Mr. Thos. Cates, one of the most
intelligent and progressive farmers of
our county was in town to day, and paid
us a pleasant little visit. He informs
us that his son J. S. harvested a rattle
snake, hauled him up in a load of oats,
and put him in the barn. One rattle
and a button.
—On Thursday last, we received a
few sstuple stalks of cotton taken
from a field of Mr. W. J. Herrington,
who lives near Mobley's Pond, which
was over knee high, and covered
with squares. It is a sample of our
finest crops, and we think bids fair to
pile up the fleecy staple next fall.
—A curious phenomenon in the
shape of a peculiarly shaped cloud,
attracted some attention on Wednes
day evening. It arose apparently
from the ground in the northwest,
cone-shaped, and almost as white a.s
snow, like a huge balloon to a great
height, and remained some half hour
before it dissipated. It was a strange
appearance, but pretty.
—Wo are under obligations to Mr
L. II. Routzahn for our first cucum
bers this season. Mr. R. informs ua
that lie has so many his family can
not destroy them. He has been en
joying the luscious roasting ears for
a week, strawberries for two months,
and an abundance of a variety of fine
vegetables until they have become
common placed.

NOTICE.
—On Thursday morning, Mrs. Col.
John 1). Ashton gave to a negro man
who had been in her employment a
short time, a letter containing seven
dollars, with orders to go to the
depot and express it as addressed.—
The nogro started for the depot, but
hits neither boon seen or heard of
since. Mrs. A. is a kind mistress,
only a little too indulgent, seldom
denying a servant any request, which
aggravates this dastardly act of the
thieving scoundrel.
—Wo learn that the crazy* negro,
Wiley, who was confined in jail lor
safe keeping, succeeded in kindling a
tire in that institution on Thursday
night, and came near burning the jail,
which is of wood, himself and several
other prisoners. Wiley was pro-
nouuocd a lunatic by the authorities,
and sent to the asylum this morning.
