One of the most successful business j men of oar country was well asked, j how he accounted for his wonderful j success and prosperity. He replied, j "By advertisement, and when I say ! advertisement, I do not mean simply j the advertisement of mv own personal j business, bat that of my town, conn- j ty, and State. - j g^Thero arc three lands of pcopje in almost every town, community, or county. One class wlr'ob n^<rht be properly callcd chronic grumtlers or l.tult-lir.dor?, men who never look nu a ;rk side of affairs, and ! ?" who are not only dissatisfied with i themselves, but with everything I around (hem, and believe they live at j u point called "nowhere/7 and where j ^ "nowhere empties into nowhere."The other class are goo'1 substantial j men, who believe in letting the world j know thai they are living, and that no j other place in the world presents as many advantages to the outside world \ as their own garden spot, whether it be town, county or State. There is stiil another class of citizens who cannot be classed as advertisers, but who, like the last mentioned class, arc good, live, substantial men, but men who content themselves with too little and are satisfied with the old ruts of bmi- j ness, and while they would like to; better their condition,are unwilling to j raise even a finger to accomplish the j desired result. These three classes represent the j three conditions iu which any com- j ?????? ,. MAI- ho?.i?a ranresentins: the ! IUU. S/w W..W - u progressive, another a standstill, and I the other a ? retro grading condition, j As the one or the other of these classes j predominates so will the community i be. We have all these classes in our j midst. Now to the chronic grumblers i we would say, stop short; yon are not I only injuring your own condition but vou are injuring the prospects of our i town and county. Yon are trying to | pull every one down lo your level, and ! when onec you succeed in putting j others in the same mood with your-' selfvou will want to go still lower and I O ! as far a; you can kill the very comma- j nity in which voa live. } Now to the second class, the "'stand 1 stillersr" we would say cast of? your ! old way of being satisfied with every- ' thing. You live in a progressive age. j You are surrounded with natural ad- j vantages inferior to- none on the fact- i of the globe. Your future will be : what you make it. Advertise your | business; tell people you live in She : garden spot '.i the land: welcome all f new comers: make them think as you do. Such a policy in itself will in- j crease your business without any j direct advertisement of it. and vou ! ' I will day by day be more satis nod with j your surroundings and money wiilgbe | more plentiful. In short, without j knowing if, you will have joined the j last class, and the class to which we j are most indebted for cur present j prosperous condition. To :bc third class we would say, j continue in your present ways, even ! make a more determined effort to iet | the outside world know how much! they miss by not being your immedi- j ate fellow-citizens. In other words, ; ' i make a gallant fight to enlist all classes j under your banner and then unbound- { ed prosperity will reward your efforts, j Of course advertise your own busi- j ncss, but don't neglect to tell and let j others know of the grand future of your town, county, and State. Let all join this class and with a united effort make our town and county what it should be. Act upon the advice of the successful business man and our j word for it our country will witness ; an era of prosperity which will surprise even the most sanguine of our progressive citizens. o m Away OC. A gentleman in Winnsboro received the following letter with accompanying statistics on Wednesday. The letter was marked "private." The letter is from the ".Republican League of the United States." That little "small contribution" will hardly reach Mr. Foster' from the gentleman to whom the letter is addressed. The statistics referred to give the names of those who have already subscribed aud a summary of the clubs as formed in the United States. It will be interest- j ing to know that only Virginia and j North Carolina among the Southern States have formed any adjuncts to this Republican League. Virginia is j put down as having seventy-five clubs j (the membership not stated)Jaud North 1 Carolina forty. The circular says j clubs have not increased in number j much in North Carolina "as money is i scarce and the people need help-" In ' his effort to assist Harrison and Mor-; ton, protection ana the trusts, Mr. | Jas. P. Foster is "away off" when he sends his circulars to sterling South Carolina Democrats. The following is the letter, word for word: My Dear Sir?If you believe in the Mills tariff bill which has just passed the Democratic House of Representatives, throw this letter in your waste basket. If, on the contrary, you realize that the interests of the manufacturer and the laborer sre with the party waicn stands xor pro- > tection to home iaductries, I ask you \ to co-operate with the Republican > League of the United States. Unless great cii'ort is made in the j next three months there is danger that! Grover Cleveland will be re-elected | and with him a Congress that will have no further reason to disguise its real intentions, and the next tariff bill will go ten lines as far as prudence permitted the Democrats to go in the Mills bill. The League, which was organized last December, now has over six thousand clnbs, containing three-quarters cf a million members. Its growth is unprecedented in the history of politics. Its officers will leave nothing undone to secure the election of Harrison and iiorton and a Republican Congress. >ve propose ;o make a thorough canvass:? he workshop and ihe home; t* riiruisli fvery voier with iho ablest Krguuitjuis In favo" ci' protection; to I v.] i'sr?h?:r. mM'injrs i'.iv and uigbt in evrry place where workingmen can be found; to 'ake extraordinary pro cautions to prevent fraudulent colonization a::;] voting iu Sew York, - Xcw Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, j (whicii are favorably situated for such j "Democratic reform" movements) j and In fact to .ise every legitimate > means to prevent the continuation iu power uf the party that seeks to throw down the barrier of protection and flood our farkets with the products of cheap Knropeau labor, which would ; close our manufactories and throw hundreds of thousands of our workingmon out of employment. / d wc ask of you is a small contribution.

Very truly yours, ' James P. Foster, President. j Thc Stute Conveastion. The last State Convention declared that candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor should make a personal canvass of the State, delivering j addresses at various places in the Con- j grcssional districts and anv other! places to which they might be invited, j This was equivalent to saying that any I one who desired the nomination of the ! Democracy must comply with the re- j quireasent of the Convention. Gov-i eraor Richardson sxnd lieutenant- j Governor Mauldin accepted this con- j dition and made the canvass. No, others did so, and tor any man to con- i test the nomination at this late date; looks to as as beiug a piece of bad faith toward those who honestly conformed to the rule. The only just course for such a one to pursue would have been !o announce his candidacy ami give publicity to his views as the Governor did. It may again be said that no one can question the right of delegates to nominate any man they may choose, j but there are circumstances surround- i ir.g ihe Convention which seem to us j impose .a moral obligation upon the j approaching State Convention to carry out in good faith and justice the requirements inaugurated by a previous ^-* *Kii , t.'i.L". iiiwr tiU-UUtcUitjVvO ai'v V.UU 4*1- . sritution f!?' fne canvass and the intcn-: ric-n, or more properly the understand- j 5a^, shat *-:?i candidates would partici- i pate i.<: it. A? in Governor Richardson himself ; be U as honest and honorable a man as : Las ever ill led the gubernatorial chairP. notwithstanding the vilo*- and false j slanders so industriously circulated; about him. He is a man in whom the State may well trust her interests for the next two years. There arc other men equally as honorable and capable of tilling the Gov- < ernors place, and in common with j other citizens we might prefer some one else, but under the circumstances we think the present Governor shonld be nominated. " The Laurens Advertiser says: Instead of putting- forward such measures as are for the common good, ; and working for the improvement of] the policy of the State, too often it has ! happened that all the reforms simmered down to mere opposition to certain men. Nothing is more certain than that honesty, even in politics, is the best policy. The number of campaign falsehoods told of ex-Governor Thompson, Governor Richardson and others, for the purpose of political i capital, while giving the semblance of i reform, is humiliating and demcraliz- i ing. "We are fast forgetting that! brave, chivalrous spirit of which it | was once the pride of a Carolinian to i boast, when these groundless accusa- j tions and insinuations sre heard in silence by the men who are considered leaders. Some cf the slanders circulated ' -1 3 iU.l against uovcrnor xucuurusui; arc mm t he fished on Sunday, that he was j drank at the wedding of General I i Izlar's daughter, and that he had re- i ceived commissions from banks where j the State money was deposited. All j of these charges have been proven to i be the basest slanders. The News and ! Courier correspondent also shows con- j clusively from personal acquaintance j with Governor Bichardson that if he ' ever played cards he didn't do it on Sun- j day, and never played for anything j except amusement, and this is net; snch a horrible crime after ail. Gen- ! tlcmen present at the wedding in Orangeburg testify that the Governor was not under the influence of liquor, and finally the bank pcesidenis where State money is deposited give no com missions on deposits. This ougnt to ; be sufficient to prove to any man not! biased by political or personal motives ! that the whole business is one tissue of; falsehoods from beginning to end. We car.act but agree with our esteemed j contemporary in condemning such a campaign or slander. Socdedl'Kawse^. The Newberry Observer suggests some changes ;:i the primary widen ; seem to us to possess some decided j advantages over the present plan. The j first suesrestion is, that all the oifiecs j to be filled should be printed on one I lickei with blank space under each for i he names of candidates to be filled in : cy the voter. There should also be | only one box thereby securing eer- j tainty in voting bv preventing tickets j being put in the wrong box. Another change suggested is, that j voters should be allowed to vote onlv : - : at their own precincts. We think bxh of these suggestions good ones. Everybody admits that if j we are to continue to have the primary i some change in the rales are Absolutely necessary. Jt is a long time off before any changes can be made, bnt it does do harm to agitate the matter ant! make suggestions even now.

" Thk qucstiou of having a State primary under State regulation tor all offices is again yeing agitated.

The voice of the sovereign people has been expressed at the ballot box. We can now breathe freely, and calmly look at things as they are. Some excellent men have been elected, and seme excellent men have been left out. "While the ballot is, to some extent, the measure of one:s reputation, it is in no sense the measure of character. The history of our country has often iaughi the lesson that some of our best men have failed in elections, and also that some of oar noblest men have failed in elections, am! also thai some of our noblest men have been placed in office. Men are swayed by different motives, different surroundings, and diversified interest, and therefore do not think alike. Uct it were a great mistake to think that any one vote, or any one opinion should control the county or the State. Yy> must concede to others the right we take to think for ourselves, and of course can have no right to fall out with others for differing *"v.m ns in opinion, for this vyouid be not only selfish, but also enthroning ourselves as an absolute ruler. But as citizens of a republican form of government, we should rejoice thaf all power rests in t?;o will of the people, and while that rrlll may sometimes be controlled by selfish ends or improper means, yet the ballot is the great; safeguard of cur government, and as cucli wo rejoice Is it. I regret to say that cur neighbor, Mr. Goo. Brown, c.;te of our oldest and most substantial citizens, continues in a very feeble and precarious state.

Mr. Editor: My last arliclc written for your paper, in paragraph third my idea by inserting "is" in the last J line but one, is misrepresented. Had the ty*t e-setter noticed, is was scratch-! ed. My idea then is this: "The College (Agricultural) will be one of the! planter's greatest blunders in seeking equality of position with other classes of citizens." When I speak of equality of position for planters, I mean laws providing ways and means for the farmer to pre- j vent his oppression, giving him chances j for success, which, when done, will | promote an equilibrium in our political status. There wili be as much injustice complained of in an agricultural college as of the State University. A good farmer remarked to me, a few .days ago, that there was no speciiic rule of farm-. ing. That is true. No college will; ever effect it. It is only yood sense can succeed. And when I speak of good sense, I do not mean common sense. Everybody has common sense except idiots. The farmers should be taught to vote against every candidate advocating the Agricultaal College, unless he wishes increased taxation for a farmers aristocracy. Tillman is far mv superior, and I regard him a true and zealous advocate of the farmers' interests, and not a selfish man; but I think differently of the scheme to equalize the planters with other classes of men from bim. The farmers' are an important factor in the elections, and should digest well their action in the matter. Well, the elcctiou for county officers is over, and I think generally satisfactory. I am creditably informed that Winnsboro had quite an enjoyable day at the counting oi the last primary. it is to be hoped the commissioners oi county will do greater justice to road-workers than has been done for some time past. The overseers are ordered out, some pay no attention, while others ?0 and. work their hands,' and the roads are left in it most ridicu-! lous condition,. a part woikcd here | and there, is surely in fine keeping, j and looks unfavorable toward men of; business, as our county commissioners j should be. Let any one jass come: through this region and look. Some parts have been worked nearly a month ago, some .-ilrnost impassable, not touched. Some one ought to be ; responsible. >i. s. Unckbead, S. C.

McMaster, a like i courtesy was extended to Geu. Edward | McCrady, Jr., and Messrs. Mitchell j and McMaster' were appointed to extend the invitation to these gentlemen. The chair then called attention to the business for which the Convention had assembled, viz., the election of eight delegates to the State Convention. Mr. T. "W. Sligh here rose and offored the following resolution: lie it resolved, by the Democracy of j Fairfield in convention assembled: ( | I. That wc heartily endorse the ad-1 : ministration of the State Government ! by the Democratic party since 1S76. ; *2. Thai it is ihe sense of this^on- j venticn that Gov. John P.

K. Elliott moved that as the motion j would likely test the sentiment of -the i Convention that time be allowed the | committee appointed to escort the two invited guests to return. The chair ; stated that he had no authority to delay the Convention. Mr. Lemmonfinally "withdrew his motion Mr. T. W. Scruggs moved to lay on the table the second clause of the reso! lution, but Mr. Douglass raised the i point of order that a portion of a reso; lution could not be tabled. The point j was sustained. Motion was then made j to strike out the second clause of the ! resolution. Here was the beginning of the real tight of the Convention, the contest between the Richardson and anti-Richardson delegates. The News and Herald reporter not bein^ a stenographer the many speeches and remarks by delegates cannot be given. If they could be given verbatim, however, the space could not be given Lhem. Major Woodward defended Governor Richardson, and asked the Convention to 20 slow in censuring the Governor. Mr. Scruggs said he was not opposed to the Governor, but was opposed to instructing delegates who should go to the Convention as free thinkers. Mr. Jno. W. Lyles stated that while he did not believe the lies told on the Governor, still there was a feeling "f unrest among the people and they desired a change. Mr. G. "W. Ragsdale asked the opponents of Gov. Richardson to point out his vulnerable points. Mr. W. S. Hall said he didn't bel.'eve the stories concerning Gov. Richardson, but he thought that if anybody else could be found better than the Governor he should be nurainated by the convention. Mr. (Jhas. A. Douglass rose to de lend. governor lucnarason against tne slanders circulated about him, and showed that he had fulfilled his duty in every way, and had accepted in good faith the action of the State Convention. Mr. T. E. Elliott madea spcechwhich is highly commended on all sides. The general drift of his remarks was that it was not so much a question of men as it"was one, whether we should countcnancc slander and traducing of character. Mr. Lyles again said that the people wanted a change, and that it would cause great dissatisfaction in the ranks of the party should Gov. Richardson be nominated. All during the debate on the part of the anti-Richardson men, there were made insinuations about "nag rule." M'aj. Woodward said he knew of two rings in the Democratic party?the "ins," who wanted to stay in, and the "onto," who would like mighty well jo be "iu." A running debate was had, which came so thick and fast that it was impossible for the reporter catch the general drift of it at all. During that time, however, ihe insinuations were again repeated concerning a ''ring." Maj. Woodward rose from his seat and advanced, holding1 a paper in his hand. lie said: "You talk abont rings, ril tell you where the ring is. Here is the list of delegates which were to be elected at this convention : Sara'l. McCormick, Jno. W. Lyles, Y?rm. S. Ilall, T. S. Brice, Jas.' Iv. Stevenson. R. Y. Lemmon, R. A. Meares, S. R. Rutland." The reading of this list caused quite a sensation among the anti-Richardson men, fcho had talked so much of a cut-and-dried ticket to be forced down the throac.s of the convention. Some of them denied having any part in originating: the ticket, but so far as we can learn,/ no one has denied that the ticket had 4not j been circulated among the delegates. ! The debate went on and on and j seemed as if it would never end, when j some one finally callcd for the ayes 1 and noes on Mr." Scruggs' motion, to ! Ant fn<-> second clause of the I | resolution. Oa being taken, the result ! was 45 ayes and 57 noes. So the | motion was lost. Several members ' voted "yes" under protesr. The election f n- delegates was then entered upon. Nominations were made thick "and fail?so many, indeed, that one member facetiously nominated the whole Convention. After a number of withdrawals a vote was ! taken with the following result: i John Bratron 54, C. A. Douglass 64, i ! S. McCormick 06, Tbos. Anderson 38, i ! J. G. Mobiey 55, 6. K. Rutland 38, { T.

Editors: To aid in build- i ing the Wadesboro, Winnsboro, & \ i Camak Railroad, Township No. 11 is i i expected to issue bonds for 89,500; No. 10 for .87,000; No. 9 for $12,000; j No. 7 for $5,500; 2tfo. 14 for! $55,000, and No. 4 for $9,500. To ' make plain how little is required of; these townships for the accomplish- j ment of an- enterprise which would lift j the conntry it traverses from poverty j to comparative wealth, I will cite town- j ship No. 10. The road will ran about j six miles through this township. It ; will cost $60,000 to build these six miles, of which $40,000 will be spent j in the township for grading, etc. ~ At i a low -calculation the lands in the i township will be increased in value I $50,000. To sum up, before pen is j put to paper to sign the bonds for} $7,000, payment of which will not be \ required for twenty years, there will ; be added to the valne of the property i in township No. 10 over $100,000,* thus 1i more than doubling the property ih [ the township. In this I do not include | the immense wealth that will be developed from granite and possibly other sources. Again, suppose the W. W. & C. Railroad should not be built, what will be the condition of the county along the proposed route in Fairfield with the Monroe, Chester, & Athens R. R., and the Cheraw, Columbia, & Augusta R. R. in operation? I tell you it will be like a squeezed orange. All the life will be taken out of it Lauds will depreciate yet more in value, and its best people will gradually desert it and seek more congenial places near tlie railroads, i say only wnat 1 dclieve to be true. I know that a few good people stiii live who say they do not wish railroads near them, bat such nonsense will scon cease to be heard in all the earth. G. 11. J\5 CM A SJER.. . What a. "tAwltal Tux" In. The following utteranco of Justice , Miller, of the United Supreme Court (appointed by President Lincoln), is a clear statement of what a lawful tax is, and it clearly shows that a war tax ! for snrpins is not inside the legal deti! nition: "To lay with one hand the power of the Government on the property cf the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals" to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes, is none the less a robbery be-1 cause it is done under the forms of law I and is called taxation. This is not; legislation. Is is a decree under legislative fnvni,; Ynr is if fcavatirm. A ' tax, says "Webster's Dictionary, is a 1 1 rate or"sum of raor.ey assessed oil the ; person or property ot a citiaen by j Government for the use of the nation or State. Taxes are burdens c? charges imposed by the Legislature apon persons or property to raise money for j public purposes. i "We have established, we think, i beyond cavil that there can be no i lawful tax which is noi laid for a pub- j lie purpose. J "If it be said that a benefit results f to the local public of a town by re- j establishing manufactures, the same | may be said of any other business or j pursuit which employs capital or labor The merchant, the mechanic, the innkeeper, the Danker, thebuildar, the ! steamboat owner, are equally promo- j ters of the public good, and equally ; deserving the aid of the citizens by!. forced contributions. No line can be \ drawn in favor of the manufactures which would not open the coffers of j the public treasury to the importuni- i ties of two-thirds of the business men of the city or town."
