The oj cni»ii{ uneting of the jki- litical campaign at Hock Hill on Monday was, despite the large crowd present, rather tame, all the candi- datee seeming to be holding them selves in reserve for the future meetings. (Governor Tillman de clined to commit himself to the plan of having a senatorial primary ami in doing this practically con fesses that he does not care to risk this way of deciding the contest. All the candidates for governor were on hand and presented their claims. Of course they all professed them selves ns original dyed in the wool Reformers. ■Senator Butler announced that he would show up Governor Tillman’s record at the future meetings and when he doer this things will be very liyely. The Columbia Register admits that Senator Butler had the crowd at Rock Hill, but things seemed to lie reversed on Wednesday at York, when Governor Tillman’s supporters seemed to be in a majority. In a future issue of Thk Hf.kai.u wc will give a fair synopsis of the speeches, prefering to wait until the candidates get on their war paint and begin to tight in earnest Since the above was in type the campaign meetings has taken place at Chester, at which place Senator Butler denounced the Gove.rnor in unmeasured terms, giving him a well-deserved castigation. Gen. Butler, we fear, stands very little chance (f re-election, but he will make the campaign very un comfortable, to say the least, for the There is one thing about the Re form movement that is a real reform, to the lucky ones, and that is the reform or change in their in comes since they commenced serving the down-trodden farmers. Tillman. Irby, McLurin, the two Garys and a good many others are getting the benefit of this kind of Reform. The people are not getting anything except the fun of yelling when the magic word Reform comes from the lips of one of these unselfish patriots. Those of our contemporaries who are predicting the demise of the Democratic party m South Carolina, are shedding their tears a little too soon. It is true that the jmrty machinery has gotten under control of a lot of uiiscnipuloue politicians, that are not Democrats, but the grand principles of the party are in- destnictible and will endure as long at any part of our people loye liberty and good government. Its name may be blotted out but its political teachings will remain without change, constituting, as they do, the very basis upon which must rest the fabric ol any truly republican form of government In the Monday’s issue of the Columbia Journal its editor seems to think that, the Conservatives are losing ground, and that they ought to be fighting something or some body merely to keep their hands in. The editor of The HekaM) is not the least, bit of a politician but begs to remind the Journal that apparent inaction i» Hot invariably a sign that a party is hot at work, and he can rest assured that when the time for action conies the real Conservatives, We don’t Inean the weak-kneed fellows, will Im- found on hand ready to put in llieir Work. In proof of what we say in regard to laying* low, we refer I he editor of our contemporary to that friend of his boyhood days, Brer Rabbit, who was almost most quiet When his fertile brain was hatching out all kinds of mischief in order to get ahead of tho-other animals. Brother Bull is such an Inveterate humorist that his editorial may lie iuerely a joke, but If he really wants to tight there is nothing to hinder him froln trying to destroy tin hiagic of the word "reform.” If thihgS really look this way to our friend it protes pretty conclusively that drinking the Congaree river Water has beeii Ido mitch for his liver, mid if this be the case then he can’t lie blamed for taking a gloomy view of things, for when this im portant organ of the laaly gets ont of order it does make a man feel us if the whole world was going to de struction ami he along with it. If the usually hopeful gentleman who edits the Journal would s|>eid! u week or two in Darlington and drink ' our splendid artesian water, things, generally, would as nine a much more pleasant aspect mid he would hive the appetite of a rail-splitter and sleep like a tombstone. 1*. S. We don’t mean the kind of rail-splitter who splits rails for the Sew Ceaitles. There is considerable interest lie- ing manifested throughout the State in regard to the formation of new comities, and while not committing ourselves to the small county idea, it must be admitted there is much lo be said wi favor of having the oounty seats more accessible to those who find it a great inconvenience to ride so far in order to attend the courts. The people of Bishopville, irre spective of party or faction, are agitating the question of a new county with that town as the loca tion for the courthouse and jaiL As it is not proposed to take any part of Darlington to form this new county wc are not specially interested in the matter, bnt would like lo make one suggestion thereto which we trust will be favorably revived. The suggestion is in reference to the name, Salem, which is proposed for the new county. There is nothing historic or pretty about it, unless it be that our Bishopville friends wish to perpetuate a name that is associa ted with New England witchcraft, for it was at Salem, Mass., that a great many people were imprisoned and executed on account of this super stition. There is no State in the country that is richer in honored and historic names than South Carolina, and why should our people not wish to per petuate one of them wheu they have the opportunity of doing so I" Much as we love our Florence friends we have never quite forgiven them for | their inexcusable lack of taste and . patriot ism in not giving their county tyrant and demagogue who has j the name of some illustrious wArrior worked such mischief in the State. | or statesman, who in his time had The Governor has a bitter tongne added iiistre to the name of his but he will think twice before he | State.

Duncan, a well-known and highly cultivated citizen of the State, has had considerable corres pondence with the editor of the Independent, in referenc • to these misrepresentations, and through the columns of the News and Courier, has published a statement of the whole case. The matter is too long for our columns, but Wu have no With such names us Moultrie, grants Jaspar, Rutledge, Pinckney, Hayue, Lowdnes, Calhoun, McDuffie, Legare, Hammond and others that might be mentioned, why should we be at a loss'( How would such names as Florence, Salem and Greenwood look when compared with the ones mentioned above ? The one honored exception to this lack of patriotism is furnished by the people of St. Matthews who want a new county and propose to call it Calhoun. The (••iig t* Sal Francisco. Columbia Journal. Mr. Robert Jones, who for some time held a lucrative position in the ofloe of the Singer Sewing Machine Company in this city and Darlington, leaves shortly to seek his fortune in San Francisco. Mr. Jones has- many friends in this city who wish him abundant success in the “City of the Golden Gate.” .jr Kiows WkaPs What. Wilmington Star. ■ The Columbia, S. C., Register, Tillman organ, is mistaken. There are no Populists in North Carolina. They are all “Jeffersonian Demo crats,” like Tillman. Th<! Star is very well aware of the fact that Tillman calls himself a Democaat, bnt it is also very well aware of the fact that' he is fighting both the Democracy of his own State and the Democratic party of the country, and that he is as far from being in accord with either of them os if he stood squarely on the Populist plat form. It answers his purpose best to call himself a Democrat, just as the Populist leaders of this State do wheu they go before the people and seek excuse for their desertion by still claiming to be Democrats, “Jeffersonian Democrats,” better Democrats than the men who make the Democratic party. We are used to that kind of thing over here, and we recognize it even at this distance when we see it in South Carolina. Tillman’s disguise is too thin to fool anybody. fiet Sutheri Negroes. Pittsburg, June 12.—Edward Ever ett Hale the author and Unitarian preacher of Boston, is here, on his way to atttend the meeting of the Unitarian Conference of the Middle States and Canada on Tuesday, June 12, at Mi-advillc. In an interview Mr. Hale said that the solution of the labor question to a great extent lies in onr treatment of the negro. “It is not necessary,” said he, “for me to go into an elaborate discussion of this subject; but it seems very plain to mo- a relief from labor troubles in the southern states. If, instead of importing foreign pauper labor to work in onr mills and along our great enterprises of all sorts, wc would seek laborers among the thousands of unemployed negroes down south a most beneficial change would be instituted in the United States. In the first place hundreds and thousands of undesirable immi- would be kept out of the country, which would be greatly benetitted thereby, and secondly, employment and wages would lie given many of our colored citizens, who, under the present regime, are unable to get work of any kind.

The state capital the name of its i Independent is a religions paper, or supposed to be one, yet does not hesitate to use its editorial columns for the purpose of grossly slandering a part of the people of our State. It is conspicuously lacking not only in Christian charity, but in addition ignores the rules of of fair journalism. News|>apers that claim to teach Christianity, ought, us a matter of decency and consistency, in the writings of their respective editors, to illnstrate Its teachings. It is a lamentable fact that a great many of onr religious pipers are, in many essential respects, more unfair and uncharitable than the secular joirnals. There is probably not one of the latter that would have refused to give Mr. Duncan n hearing. The dispatches from Washington report that a well organized plot has been unearthed to blow up the Capitol and other public buildings with powerful explosives.

Dinliolicul plots of this kind are, almost without ex ception,either instigated or carried by anarchists that have emigrated from Europe.

We trust tuat not only the people of Bishopville but of other sections that contem plate having new counties will give this suggestion their earnest con sideration. The numerous strikes that arc going on in different parts of the country, principally in the coal regions, are simply aggravating mat ters and making the times worse in stead of better. They furnish the most conclusive proof that the doctrine of protection is fallacious and instead of, as is claimed hy its advocates, improving the condition of the workingman invariably makes it worse. While in many instances the workingmen have real cause for complaint, there are two sides to the question and it is a significant fact, and to some extent alarming that nearly all outbreaks of this charac ter, especially when accompanied by violence are the work of foreigners who hate neither knowledge of or respect for our laws.

Abou t the beginning of the century a cons table in England named John Dun became celebrated as a collector of bad accounts. When others would fail to collect a bad debt, Dun would be sure to get it out of the debtor. It soon passed into a current phrase that when a person owed money, and did not pay when asked, he would have to be “Dunned.” Hence it soon became common in such cases to say: “You will have to Dun So-and-so if you wish to collect your money.” Until the nomination of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency the word “outsider was unknown. The Committee ou Credentials .same in to make its report, and could not get into the hull because of the crowd of people who were not mem bers of the convention. The chair man of the convention asked if the committee was ready to report, and the chairman of the committee answered: “Yes, Mr. Chairman; but the committee is unable to get inside on account of the crowd and pressure of outsiders.” The news paper reporters took up the word and used it. On Friday afternoon, June 29, at 0.30 o’clock the Darlington Guards will give an exhibition drill at the Baseball Park. Admission, 25 cents; children, 10 cents. No extra charge for reserved seats. At the close of the company drill there will be an individual drill. Every one that makes an error will be dropped out until there is only one man left who will be declared the wiutur. The efforts of the Republican State Executive committee to have the constitutionality of the registration laws of the State passed iqioii by 1 the Supreme Court have failed in so far as the coming general election is concerned. Thu State Supreme Court has granted a motion, made by the State, to post|>oiie the hearing of the mandamus proceedings until the November Term of the Court, and thereby killed all chance of any change in the present condition m regard to the matter of registration.
