The Democratic State Executive Com*
/ mit tee has decided to open the campaign
on the 1st of .September. The candi*
dates on the SfS'fc ttdket will be diatrib-
utad among the different campaigning
parties that will ■iraultancotialy canvass
the counties.
At this Primary election on nett Sat,
urdsy the Democrats will thin ouf the ar
my of candidates and relegate many^s-
piiants to private life. The candidates
fhr Senator,Truasurer and l’rebate Judge
will be nomiuated at the first election,
hut another race will' probably be uccas<
nary before any* Of the Other candidates
can read their titles clear. It is a mat*
ter of congratulation that there is so
much good timt>cr before the ptaplc. —
No harm cau carOe to the State or coun
ty from the success of any aspirant, for
every candidate in the field is worthy of
public confidence sud support. Ciifnwe‘1
will have, no matter who tnsy be suc
cessful, good and efficient public set 1 -
\ a not, and, best of slf, the party ranks
will be untrokeu and party success as >
aure.as the sequence of the seaton*.
Unca daess is felt lest the coming prf-
wiary election will not be fair and free
trom frauds. That there should be such
a feeling i* a shame upon any party and
any people. That there should bogroouda
for sueh a feeling is a acrious danger to
the country. The Democratic party is
the .Sure and a bttow at the integrity of
that party is tfeasoh to the State. As
uu impartial looker on among the candi*
dates, well wisher of atl and partisan of
noue, bat profoundfy ‘nterSated hi the
honor and fair lame of the party aa well
as the good of the people, we hold out
this solemn wandag to all: Unfairness
in the primary oltction means the dc-
atructiou of the Democratic party with
all its attendant evils to the State. A
party whose member* ertunot have a fair
oouteat for its honors and emoluments
must go down beoauee it is unfit to stand.
We iherefotQ call upni every man to be
u sentinel over the ballot box and hold
up to party condemnation and the exc
cration of mankind the wrtloh who wouk
pollute the fountain of the liberties of
the people. We hare confidence in the
honest? of the people and believe that
when they ire forewarned they wil^bc

Editor People:
Dear Sit: The generous partiality
of your correspondent “Fair Play’’ has
given me an undue monopoly of the
meritorious wotk done at the famous
Midway mcetiagof 76, when Chamber
lain and his sable forces were so igno-
miniously routed. Simple justice urges
me to state .that the determination to
meet Chamberlain iu martial array was
the joint conception of the Hon. 0. W.
M. Williams nnd myself, and to Mr.
Williams alone the happy thought of
Inviting Col. Tillman to give us his igr
valuable assistance is to be credited.—
Withcut George D. Tillman’s presence
and aid it,is needless to say the meeting
would have been shorn of half its glori
ous results. A just recognition of his
ability nnd a generous appreciation of his
ability and s generous appreciation of his
untiring and long continued work in the
gooj} cause has earned for Mr. Williams
■ mumphaut etccliofl to the lower House
of Representatives. Now in tbe prime
of a high intellectual and physical man

to lose its buoyancy, sinking and drown

quently found in the liver plantations
than on the inland. . v .
In the dry growth, between the
“stretch” and ‘•harvest’'flows;" it is sub

arc migratory in their habits, being
known by different names 4n different
places, and the rice planters sowing their

distinguished career of ’ usefulness and
honor in the service of his people is be
fore him.
As for my*elf,’my prorainen-xjon that
occasion was largely attributable to the
fact of having been the chairman of the
local club, and necessarily assuming the
ordets for the arrangement of the busi
ness mutters of the meeting. M y pRft in
the affair was not more conspicuous than
that of the many other club .chairmen
who shared with rw the labors of the day.
The spontaniety of the movement allowed
as plainly as the hand writing on the
wit 1 that the spirit of revolution had
seized our whole people, nnd would hove
found its proper expression when Ibis,
its hour had come, had I never been in
existent. Indeed, Chamberlain in re
cognition of that tact remarked that he
“cared very little for the abusive speech
es made, it was the spirit of the people
that was inviucrble.” 1 hat spirit apoke
in tones too plain to be misunderstood,
and no one saw it more dourly than
Chamberlain.
While my scjisibiliticsand sympathies
ard all pleasantly and gratefully aroused
by the graceful and flattering tribute of
“Fair I’lay” I now beg him to let me
cncirciu in bin laurel wnath the one
thousand gallant spirits who shared
equally with myself the labors and tihe
triumphs of that eventful day.

Here I am in the midst of the rice

plantation may be interesting to them.
There arc two kinds of rice pluutatiotv* :
Inland, or thooe having reservoirs o’
water called back water, anheir flowin';
supply, apd tide wstcr, or river planta
tions, having lf,c rivers aa their water
1st. Inland- These have large bodies
of water called back wijter, a large .dam
■pierced by boarded ways cutfccPTrun
‘or flood gates, to let tbe water on the
rice ; the land is divided into squares,
wliich for the purposes of flowing are re
quiicd to bc Vefy level, the highest fkrt
not more thau five inches bighef than the
lower. The preparation is fijic garden
cultivation, the land.being first p!owe<
and theii harrowed with coarse and finfe
teeth harrows; the oM style of using
trenching machines is sometimes used
but tbe Kentucky drilling machine is
more common. h!acli oftliesc square) is -
separated from the others by sjoalf or
clnck da ms, -small “trunks", letting the
water in from one to the other, so as to
flow one square and not the olliers. The
rows are 15 inches apart afid the Heed
covered with fide teeth’ - harrows, when
the “sprout’ flow is let on and remains
thfiy are plentiful.

The expenses incident to rice planting
arc great, audit id only the extreme fer
tility of Uicir land and the large yield
pci; acre that enables thorn to derive profit.
Every year the numerous dams, canals
and ditches are repaired and drnined aud
the truuks t.a heavy article iu itself,
costing to erect sbjnctmics $700) arc
yearly repaired.
Then tbe preparation of the land for
sowinz, a vague idea of the expense of
which 1 have already given.
The character of soil being much sob -
bier tlnn our uplands is harder on'the
plow animals, and makes the article < f
hor»e flush one of greater expense. It
also prevents, the use of wheeled ma
chines, the rice drrll being only used on
hard clay 'artds.
The wages of the field hands arc: wo.
met*. 50 and men 73 cents per day They
work in the water all day. There is the
water aud trunk man, whose exclusive
business is to sco to the flowing and let>
ting off the water and the condition of
the tranks, which are liable fo blows. ~
Harvest time.(like cotton picking time)
is a rich harvest for the negro. Large
numbers are necessarily employed ou
account of the grain being cut by reap
hooks for reasons before mentioned.—
The day’s task for the average hntjd is
about 1-2 ncrc cither to cut or tie. cut
ting 1-2 acre oue‘d »y and tying it, the
next. * They reccivc'fil .00 an acre -
I had the pleasure ■ the other day of
riding around the river bank of one of
the large rice plantations on Combahee
River named ‘ Newport.’’ The p’anta-
lion is watered by said river, and is prin
cipally situated in a loop of tame. The
rice is flowed at high tide from one side
and let.off at low tide ou the other, iu
this manner the rice can be kept con
stantly stirred, much to ha advantage.
Six hundred acres ot rice arc planted on
this place. A large rice plantation is an
impiro in itself and the coming of the
“boss is like unto the entrance of tl e
emperor into his territory. The one th t
I saw is regarded as a model of its kind.
To an up-countryman it is an unusual
and interesting sight, and as I rode
around the river hank bounding thr
plantation, it being the dividing line of
river and plantation, I gave another con
jitruction to the lines “sweet fit! is ar
rayed in Itvjng green and rivers of de
light.” One may-well say in observing
the internal working of tht-se plantations
Chat “Eternal vigilance is the nriri: of
snccess.’’ I fin’d since my last ri-it four
yean ago that, tbo cu'tivatioa of shprt
staple cotton upon the up country plan
is more extensively and successfully fol
lowed. One gentleman, Dr. F. W. Hyt
‘soti, well and favorably known to many
ot your rexdcz), making 21 500 pound
bales upon 2b acres of land, uotwith

sprouted ; this is regulated by the warmtfi
of the weather. The water is then taken
off and the rice allowed to take root*. £>
sd*n as the dpws of rice cirTbe traced She
task (i. r. 1-4 of an acre) the “stretch”
flow is put on, and is'held from 9 to 30
days, according to the character of the
weather and the condition of the soil
The object of this flow is to coabte the
rice to outgrow urd destroy the grtssfand
it is regarded as the most critfcal fime,
as the plant does not a^sbrnc its usual
hardihood until the formation of* what is
known ns the “heart leaf.’’ When this
flow is taken off the plant I»;allowed iu*
dry growth for 4 to 8 weeks and is {flow
ed and hoed. TThen it begins to joint

until the groin is ripe, .when i> is taken

when to take oflf the flow there is a great
difference of opinion.
When the land is thoroughly drfed the
I rice is then cut by a rid or reaping hobk,
a cradle canuot be used. As the grain'is
