Fairfield Still Honorable.
The Greenville News says:
Major Duncan had twenty-two votes
in the Democratic Congressional Convention
and Colonel Ferry eighteen.
The comity of Fairfield sent eight delegates^
'ho held the balance of power,
u i nrrVwere determined to beat the primary
plan. First to Perry and then
to Duncan the eight votes were offered,
on condition that the nomination
should be made by convention. Both
men rejected the offer.
"We do not know where the News
got information, that the eight votes
had been offered both to
B^LDuucan on condition that
H Mj^^houkl be made by the
TnSftiSaW legation
notmuatiotjftto prevent a pris^all
^* -T 1
^^fjjjHappBMicr&uie means iuu nicy
false that their votes were
offered to both Perry or Duncan. Such
an action would have been most dishonorable,
and we feel sure that the
people of Fairfield will not believe
any such thin^. We were there for
General Bratton first, lust and all the
time, and agaiust the primary, and in
the event that Bratlon's nomination
was uot possible the delegation was
divided. Some would have voted for
Duncan and some for Perry, and but
few men in the delegation kuew how
"the others would have voted. To say, |
then, that the delegation offered its !
? * vote either, to Perry or Duncan is uu- j
qualified!}* false.
Our delegation was composed of,
men of known and well tried hon-,
esty, and to insinuate that they j
were willing to carry out the ex- '
pressed wish of ti.eir county, by j
scheming with two delegations, is as I
false as it is scurrilous. They tried ;
all honorable methods to nominate in ;
convention, and failing in this the
delegation were free to act as they
thought proper.
Fairfield die* not make a vigorous |
effort to nominate Duncan, because it ;

was 171 uvilkl ai uiaiiun, ltd
newspaper reports to the contrary arc i
most positively untrue. The pub-'
lished reports in newspapers, by those
who knew nothing of the internal j
workings of the convention, should
not therefore receive any great cred- j
ence. In view of the fact that the j
Fairfield delegation has been uni- [
formly misrepresented, they will short- j
ly give to the papers a full statement, j
detailing the facts of the case. Should !
a convention have been held for nomi- j
fegtf nit'on, and should General Brat ton j
B have been withdrawn, the delegation j
H have votol a? ihc-v voraj|\_
V^Sited, and no man could have truth-1'
fully pledged the delegation after j
Bratton's withdrawal. And no man j
did it, reports to the contrary notwith- j
standing. I;
In Bad Company.
Two Northwestern statesmen, mem- j
bers of Congress, Messrs. Mason and '
Taykfr, favored the Charleston Republicans
with a visit on Monday night at
their ratification meeting, and we have
little doubt now but that they mougni
that they were a long ways from home
and in powerful bad company. If
they don't we are sure that plenty of
people thonght so. The following is a
short extract from an interview had
with the gentlemen by a reporter of
the News and Courier, and it reminds
us of Blaine, a> they claim everything,
and it is a little surprising that they
left out South Carolina as one of the
Harrison and Morton State:
Mr. Mason was asked to ta'.k a little
politics, all of which he has done as
exceedingly flue as if the gods
themselves did the grinding. He has
not made a special study of Southern
politics for the reason thaf he does not
recognize latitude or longitude in such
matters. He said that he would confine
himself to the tariff, wbich was
now the only issue, aud to do a little
talking about the Mills bill, which he
pronounced a free trade bill. He said
that Harrison would be elected as
sure as a gun, and that the Republicans
were sure to carry Indiana and
New Jersey. In fact, he had only on
last Wednesday night made a speech
in Newark, and possibly that would
settle the whole business. He had also
made a speech in New York, and he
had probably thereby captured the
city for Ben Harrison. Mr. Mason
said that he did not believe in the
bloodv-shirt business any longer. It
had quite a fair run about four years
ago, aud it bad been folded up" and
quietly laid away. The tariff is the
thing. The campaign is to be a clean
campaign. The people could not be
fooled twice with the same trick as to
the howl about the bloody shirt, and
therefore it was abandoned.
Mr. Mason believed that South Carolina
is a Republican State, but he
would not guarantee that he could
carry it home this time in his pocket
for the grand old par^v.
lie and his colleasue had simply
come to town becausc there had been
a sort of a feeling that South Carolina
had been deserted up North; that
there was not a man left to sing the
colored people a song or to make them
a speech. He believed that the Republican
organization should be kept up
in every Southern State, and he would
give the Republicans advice to that
effect.
xue A99UC9.
The county campaign has fairly
opened, and on Wednesday we presume
the Feasterville people had the
pleasure of hearing from those who
are willing to make the sacrifice and
serve the people. As to all the posi- j
tions, except the Legislature, the race !
will be merely one on personal popularity,
there being no issues between
them affecting the welfare of the
county. But it is not so with the candidates
for the Legislature. They
have issues and issues which material
ly effect our people. Among tl.cm we '
might mention the Clemson bequest,
the separate Agricultural College,
the reduction of salaries, the abolition
of the Agricultural Department, and
others of minor importance. It is not
with them then a campaign on personairpopularity
alone, but upon living
j issues, which they will doubtless be
| called upon to favor or oppose in our
I legislative halls. In view of these J
3 J
; facts, then, we believe they should be j
: called upon to express their views, j
| The voters of our county can decide j
who will best represent her interests
in our law-making body. We would
not te understood as favoring the instruction
of our representatives, for
we firmly believe they should be left
free to act on those issues after hearing
the arguments for and against them in
the Legislature. From the number of
candidates now before the people we
are sure our county will nominate |
men who will truly represent us, and j
men in whose ability we can placc
entire confidence.
The i>ilenima.
The .Republican party in Congress
are just now in a considerable dilemma
over the Mills bill, and are racking
their brains to find some way out, as
they are afraid to take either horn,
i and with it face the intelligent, honest
citizerp
and after thorOT^W^^^^T^ii^^!
an admirable act in tm eomrj
Mills bill, and one which if passecrt^
the Senate.would be a blessing to our
people. Since this bill has gone before
the Senate there have been wranglings
in the political family, and just how to
act is the *g'cat question troubliujr j
them. They well see that the country
demands a reformation of the tariff
and reduction of the revenue of it; they
cannot think of accepting a Democratic
measure and thus admit the victory
of the party. A great political
contest has justopflned and how to get
I out of the dilemma which the Demo- j
crats have placed them in with the
best advantage to themselves has not
yet been dccided. It make very little
difference, since Cleveland and Thurman
will carry the party to victory
and thus declare to the Republicans !
that it i? the friend ot the people and i
the terror of bloated trusts, corpora- j
tions, and monopolies.

For some time past ex-Congressman i
Sundls has, through his friends, been j
engineering a scheme through Con-1
gress, a reliel bill for himself for tak- J
ing tli* s'eauier Planter from Charles- ;
ton during the war an.! delivering It !
to the Federal forces. SaialU' share |
of the game would have been about j
thirty thousand dollars, but Mr. Dib- i
b!e had one eve on the bill, and when j
j
it was called up for consideration made
objection and it had to be passed over.
It was the hope of his friends that
it would be rushed through as a matter
of course, ami Mr. Dibble deserves
the thanks of the people for spoiling
his little pme. It wa.? simply an attempted
r:?:d on the treasury to give i
Stn.-i!!s a snug sum as an act^of sympa- j
thy from his Republican {friends on j
account of his defeat for Col'^re?s*

We congratulate our farmers upoti^P

their improved prospects for a good ^
crop, and sincerely hope that the propitious
seasons will continue through
the month and thus secure their best (
expectations. I
The Sumter Watchman, in speaking
of the opening of the Chester! |
meeting with prayer, says: ' <
This thing of opening political meet-j i
ings with prayer is worse than a j J
solemn farce, it is almost a sacrilege, j :
uro. /i,-. vinf that anv sort of tiling | 1
?J uv uv?. ??
needs praying for more than polities,
and any sort of persons more than poli- 3
ticians," but theie is a proper time and s
place for all things, and a campaign ]
meeting is certainly not an appropriate time
and place for prayer. The miu- ;
ister who* prays on siioh an occasion may
be in deep earnest when he asks s
God's blessing on our country and its <
rulers, present and future, but those j
who go there to present their claims
for office, and to villify and abuse <
their opponents, are not caring a snap '
of their finger for all that; they are (
indulging all sorts of ideas and fancies
calculated to churn them up into a j
state of semi-frenzv; they are arrang- 1
ing the chips on their shoulders and
getting ready to dare the other fellow ;
to kuock them off. What is the place
of prayer in a reign of pandemonium j
like that? "We hope the practice will (
be discontinued. We want no pretense
and no humbuggery of any sort.
We regard such a practice as not far ;
removed from (hat of casting pearls
before swine.
Grix. P. II. Sheridan, General of!
the armv ot the United States, died at j
Nonqnitt, Mass., on Sunday at 10.20
o'clock. lie made himself famous in
the late war as a.cavalry commander,
and siuce that time he has risen from
one grade to the other until he attained
the highest position in the army.
Only recently, when supposed to bt
on bis death bed, the position of Gen- i
eral was created for him, to terminate
at his death. Gen. Sheridan has been :
sick for sometime with heart trouble, I
which finally caased/his death. Gen. J
Sheridan has been a great hater of the
Sou'.h, but in his suffering and death
the ex-soldiers of the Confederate have
feit anything else but resentment.

National Democratic Committee had a
long and interesting interview with
President Norvin Green, of the West- I
ern L'nion Company, on Monday, and
as a result Mr. Green, it is said, will
support the Democratic nominees.
This, it" true, means that Jay Gould
warns Xo be on the winning side, and
those in a position to know say he
will present his check for a handsome
sum to be used in the present political
contest. Straws tell which way the
wind blows, and it seems that the
large monopolies and strong corporations
want to get in the ring with the
"ins."

A joint resolution has been introduced
in Congress and referred to an
appropriate committee calling upon
the representatives of the government
abroad to investigate the wholesale
emigration to the United States. The
resolution provides for the ascertainment
of the fact how many good, honest
people come and how many criminal,
fugitives, etc. There is good
room for investigation, as most of our
large cities contain among the lower
classes as motley a crew of foreigners
as co 11 Id possibly be obtained.
A national league of Democratic
negroes has recently been in session at
Indianapolis The representation was
mostlv from Southern States, although
' ? i
several delegates from the North were
present. The league issued a circular
strongly endorsing Cleveland and tarill'
reform. It is the purpose of the
league to extend its organization in all
the States and wage a vigorous camj
paign for the Democratic ticket.
Among other questions decided by
the Congressional Convention was the
one relative to the voting of negroes
in the primary. The committee resolved
that no negro will be allowed
to vote in the Congressional election
unless live responsible men will say
that said negro voted the Democratic

The Sf. Paul Globe thinks there is
nothing like a man taking his own
mfidiriino. Gen. Harrison </ot sick the
other day, and they wrapped him up
in a taxed blanket, poured some free
whiskey down his throat, and lie was
well in ten minutes.
Chairman Jkwktt, of Indiana,
thinks tbc contest will be close in
Indiana. While Gen. Harrison is
personally distasteful to the voters, it
cannot be determined how far this
will effect the vote.

3/essrs. Editors: The campaign for

Dr. T. B. McKiustry, also for lit i
Iiouse of Representatives, was intto I
dueed. lie favored the Clemson b* j
Huest, and thought the State fehoiil j
accept it as it was left by the testatr \
and that the State should liberay j

tcrest of the counly it would be vel.
to divide the county into school .listricts,
with authority to levy a special
tax to rtiu the schools. lie opposed a !
constitutional convention.
At this staije of the proceedings, ar 1
request, Mr. W. J, Keller read .
letter from the old veteran, Maj. Tho? j
W. Woodward, expressing his regret
at being unable to attend the gram
rally in the "Corner", on accounto ,
the dangerous illness of his sister, Mrs! j
W. 13. Lyles, at his residence. i
The next speaker introduced was the

a^sof his olli.e. lie deemed it ui'the
Ejhcst. importance that the School j
Commissioner should, as ol'tcu asj

he county, and examine the pupils \
ind advise with the tcachcrs and lake j
iotes of the various methods used in j
lie dillerent schools, and by compar- j
ng them obtain valuable information I
'or the use of the schools, and furnish j
m incentive for greater efforts on the '
>art of teacher and pupils.
Mr. II. L. Duke, lor School Com- j
nissioner, next took the stand to |
idvocato his claims to the office, lie \
aid that it required a professional man j
o do professional business. lie read ;
Section 1,000 School Law, and comnented
thereon. lie thought the best
cachcrs in the county should be
elected to fill the office of School
Commissioner, and as most of the!
'noMinve in r.nr rmmmon schools arc I
lovises in the business, they should I
lave a man at the head of the schools
,vho understands the improved
nethods of teaching, from the fact
hat it was worth at least fifty per
:ent. over the old plodding method of
caching.
Dr. John Boyd, the present incum)ent
of the School Commissioner's
)ffice, was now favored with an opporunity
of slating Iris claims for reilectiou
to the important trust so long
:onferred upon him. He stated that
he people had honored him with the
)fllce for a long period, and he thought
hat was sufficient evidence that lie
lad given his constituents entire satisfaction.
lie stated that from tlie lirst
ntroducfion of common school educa;iou
into the State in 1811, very little
tftcntion was paid to it till in 186S,
ivhen the people of the State, being
:oo impoverished by the late war to
iducate" their own children, embraced
;he opportunities ottered by (he State
;o educate their children for them,
xud since that time rapid strides had
dccii made in the progress of the
common school of Fairfield county, so
much so that the several superintendents
of education for the State had
ranked her with the first-class counties
in the State, morally, intellectually,!
and financially. This cndcd_th3 pro- i
gramme.
Mr. J. G. WolHng announced that
my of the other candidates for office
not mentioned on the programme
would have an opportunity of presenting
their claims after a short recess,
which was given in order to satisfy
the cravings of the inner man for
something more substantial than mere
words. The substantial were obtained
from a pay barbecue furnished
on the grounds. Several speeches
were made after dinner, but your cor- j
respondent had laid too much stress
upon the dinner to give them justice.
Our genial and obliging County
Treasurer, Mr. Jas. Q. Davis, arrived
on the grounds at a late hour. lie
wore a smiling face and although
wearied trom his trip to the Conven
tion in Laurens, by invitation mounted
the stand and gave a brief account of
the proceedings of that Convention.
This virtually ended the meeting.
The Feasterville Cornet Band furnished
the music for the occasion, and
as usual acquitted themselves in line
style. The day passed off quietly, not
a jar occurred to mar the harmony of
the meeting, and you may safely
assert that the lirst meeting 111 the
campaign in Fairfield county for 1SSS
was a success to all concerned. k.

.Messrs. Editor?: Th 1import-ant
question is receiving some attention at
tmatimc through the columns of youi
valuable paper. We deem it Important
from the fact farming is I he base
of all other industries or in otliei
J
j words the world's great bank. In this
I view farming certainly docs pay, foi
! UiC evidence all around us shows that
t!ic world is i rogivssing rapidly?sc
rapidly that it requires steam and
eleclritv to keep pace with it. While
it is true that bnt low farmers arc
growing into millionaires, yet there is
as a general thing a steady improvement
going on in their condition. It
| should be considered that the farmers
'have almost all the ignorance there is
| ill the land to carry and contend with.
\ The great tangled problem of the freed
| negro, us a laborer and citizen, falls
'ri almost entirely upon too shoulders ol
^ the farmer. To utilize him to his
j advantage and ours, has been a delif
cate, tardy, and expensive experience.
To take care of him, to educate, to fecc
and clothe, as he sleeps out happily
the days of his sentence in the prison,
These "are some of the bills the farmers
: are helping to pay.- We hold that the

I than before the war, and vet nc'

To this huge swindle he pays his

some of the bills the farther has to payand
he pays them out of his crop. We
are not one of those that believe the
earth is under God?s curse, so that it
does not produce. It was intimated
in the outset that it would take sweat

This may imply that it takes sweat to
take care of those treasures. Many
