A Suggestion.
Mi us. Ei'tr uh:
\\ ill you allow me space in your |
columns to make a suggestion m on
a subject that I think of importance.
Since tho death of Mr It. S. Neal,
late Chairman of our Democratic.
Eveeulivu Committee, the Democratic
partv of Columbia county hiw been
without a head, would it not be
well for tli« Executive Committee to
ni< . I st as early day as possible mid
elect a Chairman mid put themselves
in working order? Li t them call a
Convention to send delegiites to our
Gubernatoi ial mid .‘senatorial Con ven
tioi.s, nml arrange for holding a
primary election lor county officers.
Primaries have been our safe guard
m tho past, and saved us of much
trouble, so l if we tu t wisely we will
not abandon a custom that has woiked
so well. J am sorry to know that
there is an element amongst us who
favor doin ■ away with the primaries
and b svin;.: the tinld open to all who
see proper to run m tlm election.
When w ■ do this, then may wo
expect trouble, ami to be ruled over
by i eti who will be very obnoxious
to the better class of our citizens. t
Let the Executive Committee act
pr.m I ;'.v and let every Democrat in
ti e ]b pub ■ i f C'himbi i resolve to
stand by their old and honored
custom, and let them demand of every
candidate that asks for their support,
the i i 'iii-.su that he will abide by the
result of the primarv.

The Sabbath.
El'tTOKs Si x rIXHt :
Im am glad to see that the ladies
of th. Womens' Christian Temper
ance I mon are moving in the right
direction m regard to Sabbath dese
cration and its reformation.
11?) distributed tracts and leaflets
in the city of Augusta, and invited
•-ivii.d lumistei- to preach on the
subject iron, their pulpits on the first
Sabtiath in this month. If the uiwn
will not act in this matter, let the la
dies go ti rward in this great aud
grand onus God blens the women
crown their effort* with signal
su. .ss m tins great inform.
Why tlie wickedness of the times ?
Is it uot because of tiie great coiubi-
naiiutiH who ignore God's holy day—
railroad syitema, Kteam boat hi.es,
express mid telegraph compnnicH and
many other who employ tliouMtnda
of men and compel! them to labor on
the Sabbath, and Home iif them-em
ploy i. s/ ldom hear the goapel preach
ed, and thus thew- great combinations
combine a, ainst God and his Christ
to violate the fourth commandment,
"Hemember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy.” Oh! they aay it is a neces
sity, and necessity knows no law.
W ill thia reason excuse them ? W iW
they be guitless at the great, duv of
judgment, rhe Bible says ri'rt. Oh,
the thousands of wruls they are send
ing down to h< 11. I noticed in one
of your issues a short time since a
notice given < f the opening of n hotel
on Sunday with a banquet, not fifty
miles away. Oh, it is enough to
bring tin blush to the cheek of every
Christian in this land. Yes, right
undet the blaze of the gos]>el. Oh,
w hy si nd money to enlighten, to civil
ize and Christianize ( bina?
I n member a few years ago of a
certain Presiding Elder who after at
tending his quarterly conferences on
tin- Harlem circuit invariably return
ed to Augusta on Sunday af.ernoon
on the train. I know of but on ex
ception and that was a time when he
arrived at Harlem trs> late to take the
train. Just such preachers keep the
trains running on Sundays. He not
only violates the fourth command
ment himself but compells the rail
load agent to do the same. He vio
lates the law of God aud man bv
buy ing his ticket and going aboard of
the train. He violates the commnnd
ment that ho is commissioned to keep
and to teach others to do thesime.
Oh, when will our ministers learn to
I e holy in heart and life ?
Some months ago 1 was in Au
guvta and met an old railroad friend,
and after the usual salutations our
conversation drifted upon railroad
1 life. He is an engine vr on the Geor
gia Railroad and thes ibject came up
of violating God’s hoiv day by run
ning his engine. He remarked that
hu hud interviewed his preadier in re
gard to the matter, and his preacher
said to him, a man who ilid not pro
vide for his household was worse
than an infidel and had denied the
faith. How smart the old e’evil is. he
comes up and quotes the B, bio in or
der to decoy and lead estray this poor
man. Shame be it said of that
preacher who gave such ndvic.3 which I
may be the means of sending that
man down to hell. Oh, the responsi
bility that rests on the ministers of
the gospel. Jn tho great da.v will
their skirts be clear of the blood of
their fellow-creatures to whom they
j have preached the gospel ?
The person who violates God’s law
and says it is a necessity, the sheep
'or ox is in the ditch and must be
. pulled out; how is it when the old
1 ox necessity continues to get into ti e
ditch, must, he be pulled out forever ?
■Oh, no my friend, if he continues t<'
get into the ditch, 1 would bid him j
good-bye, and let him rot there.
My Biole tea diea me that God
does not excuse nor palliate sin.
“He cannot, look upon sin with the
least allowance," and “the soul that
•iniieth if -hall die." No exception
to the rule.
No wonder God is visiting his
judgments upon the people, with
floods mid cyclones, sweeping tho
com try, leaving devastation, destruc
tion and death in their pathway. I
Blot out the Bible and the Sabbath
day, and we will become a set of
heathens and barbarians.
