Tiie primary is seizing the State by
storm. It is not at all surprising. It
has been gr?wiu? for a number of
years; public sentiment in its lavor
has culminated. It is a strong* certain,
decided, and ptsitire demand tbat the
State Officers shall be elected that
way. The convention, whether the
May convention or the September
convention can't ignore the demand.
^ i
"Will Winnsboro allow the oppor-1
tunity of contributing towards having
exhibit at the "World's Fair go by
GKpP^^efault. We know that the times are
hard; some people are struggling hard
to get the ordinary necessaries of life,
but it is important that we should do
something about this matter. The
town and County can't be expected to
do much; but can do something, and
they ought to do it.
A\'e regret very much to see the
filibustering tactics of the Democrats
in the House. The rules, as far as we
know them, are very little better than
those of the notorious Reed Congress.
I r. deed, Speaker Crisp looks as though
he was endeavoring xo rival the arbitxary
rulings of Tom Reed. The Republicans
are rejoicing over it. It is |
stranare that the Democrats should so !
w
soon forget that it was Tom Reed aud j
his tyrrauy in the chair that made the j
present House Democratic. It is I
foolish, silly and suicidal to follow the j
ip methods of the Kced Congress.
Primary for State officers is still
the cry. It comes from the sovereign
people, and it should and must be
heard. It is folly to talk of its being
an injustice to the Ouuties in the
lower part of the State. It is said
that those Counties having such a
tremendous nesrro population should
not b? wade to go into a primary.

Sumter County lias united. There
is no longer division in the Democracy
of that County. Fairfield now stands
alone of all the Couuties in the State
with tvr9 distinctive County Executive
Committees, each claiming to be the
only legal head of the legally organized
County Democracy. In Sumter the
feeling during the last campaign was
rv<-ppdin<rlv bitttr, but in spite of it
the people have very wisely concluded !
that division meant ruin, and hare
come together. This was right, wise
and sensible. Will not Fairfield follow
the example of Sumter? Will her
people not rise above prejudice and
join the two wings of the Democracy,
and let us have peace. The Democratic
party can't stand the state of
afEairs tkat we have had for the past
two years. If this division is kept up,
tbr party, the white man's party, will

soon be a thing of the past. The
breach will become so wide that the
union will be impossible. We trust
that the people will take it in hand and
j-.'in the two factions
I'rrmary, the Remctly.
We make no apology for repeatedly
urging upon our people to come together.
The importance of the subject,
the consequent disasters that may
follow upon the failure to heal the
breach, the peace and happiness of
the white people depending so much
on unity, are sufficient reasons for
making harmony the main subject
matter of these columns. We are perfectly
sincere and honest in the conviction
that the union of the white
people is the only safeguard for peace,
prosperity and happiness; and with
this conviction steering us in the
face day after day, and seeing day
after day pass without anything tangible
done towards the accomplishment
of this purpose, we feel fully wari.oiita/1
in l-pPnilKJf if hpforo the
eyes of our readers. The Xkws and
Herald has put itself on record. I'
has striven for what it considers the
best interest for the makers of this
government?the white people. It
will not tire doing what it conceives
its duty. It caift force action: it can't
make men do what they doift want to
do; it can't control the thoughts of
other people nor the utterances of
ntlioi- n<?nn!o T> trill do its dlltV as
best it knows how. ami when I lint's
done then it shall not be held responsible
for the consequences. It does
not poss-ess the power to make men go
into a mass meeting, it doesn't profess
to force anybody's conduct in a
certain direction, it doesn't luld itself
responsible for anvbwdy's tongue,
dP-ij'gs. It is working for
harmony as zealously aVAl-porously
as it can. and will continue to do so
as long as there's a chance of securing
it. We are glad to see from a letter
in the Columbia State that we are in
such good company as that of Gen.

primary for the nomination of State
officers. This was also advocated by
The News and Herald several
months ago. The Tillman campaign
established the fact, if it established
any public sentiment more than
another, that there was a general demand
for the primary. By some
strange influence, or possibly as a
means of barracading themselves in
office, this has not been carried out by
those in control of the party machinery.
It's not too late to carry it out. Why
not do it? Will the people demand
it?
temo to the Heetiujr.
A mass meeting will be held in the
Court House on the 19t"n day of this
month. The purpose of this meeting
is to reconcile tho two factions in the
County. This is a rery laudable object.
It is one that should meet with
response in the heart of every man
who loves his County, who desires to
direct his coHduct towards the attain
ment of what is best tor the uountv
and who desires to sec the integrity
of the Democratic party maintained.
The unity of the Democratic {party
must be maintained. From tbe very
nature of things, it is the highest folly,
it is suicidal to have two warring
factions. It is not simply the duty of
all g?od citizens to see that the party
is kept together. Unfortunately we
arc so situated that the matter goes
deeper than mere party considerations.
If it was merely the maintenance of a
political organization that was at stake,
the question would not be near so
serious. It is more than that. It goes
to the very foundation of our civilization.
Division in our party lines
meajis a change in our civilization,
and a dreadful change at that. Upon
the unity of the Democratic party the
purity, the integrity, and possibly even
the existence of the white race in the
Sonth depends. Disintegration in this
County may invite disintegration in
other Counties; disintegration in other
Counties may influence disintegration
in the whole State; the segregation of
Democrats in this State may cause
segregation of Democrats in other
States and so on until the whole South
inaY bp divided. That means that the
negro would be called in as the arbiter?
the negro would hold the balancc of
power. Either he would join one of
the two white parties or form one of
bis ntvii and rule the count it. Neither
of these two conditions are at all desirable.
Biding for negro votes means
political affiliation. Close political
affiliation borders near upon social
affiliation. Let the white people of
this country get in that condition, and
moral and social ruin mar be but a
question of time. Thc.degradation of
the race may follow. Social affiliation
with the negro is revolting; many may
say it is folly even to suggest such a
thing. "We say again that political
association may eventually lead to social
association. The mau who goes side
bv side with the negro to the ballot box.
mar find that his child will <ro arm in arm j
with the negro, and his child's children,
or some ef his descendants it
may be in the long, long future, will go
on equal terms with him to their very
homes. These are terrible thoughts,
yet when we suffer the Democratic
party in this Sla'e to divide we arc
laving the first stepping stone for just
such a state of affairs. It would not
liannen within the lives of any now
living; it might never happen, but it is |
logical reasoning, and may occur one j
of these days. In maintaining the j
unitv of the Democratic party, re-1
* i
member that r?u arc not acting solely j
for yourself. Upon your action de- I
pends future generations.
"We urge upon all good citizens to
attend the mass meeting.

Mr. TVatkins Body Recovered.
Ciiappells, S. C., March 10th.?
You have no doubt seen several accounts
of the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of Mr. John Watkins '
of our neighborhood on the 10th uf
February, now about three weeks ago.
He disappeared just three in ntks, to
m <i-.iv off pi- big marriage to Mi?s
" "-* > (
Jemima Smith, formerly of Fairlield
County. And for this reason, as well i
as on account of incorrect statements
made by a Ninety Six correspondent
of the State I shall give this startling
event more than a passing notice.
Dark mystery and painful suspense,
* ?~ 1 - fl.n

whole matter until evening1 before
last. After supper 1 w:.s sitting by
the fire with my wife, reading
DAubigne's history of the reformation
to her, when I was suddenly startled
by some one riding with rapid speed
a nd coming nearly to my door. The
moment I answered the "halloo" my
neighbor shouted utli?y have found
uncle John:7' I learned mat wunc me
ferryman at L'happell was putting
over a passenger they saw something
floating down the river; and soon
after they got into a bateau, followed
after, overtook k, and found it to be
the body of Mr. Watkins. Though it
bad been no doubt in the water for
eighteen days, the body looked fresh
and natural, but 011 being exposed to
the air it rapidly began to grow black
and decompose. Early yesterday
uiorning the hearse from Newberry
was at (Jhappells, and carried the remains
by his house to the family
burying ground two or three hundred
yard? in front of his resdience. There
*?n yesterday, I saw his remains consigned
to the narrow house appointed
for all the living. Thus we iiave a
>ad relief from the suspense as to
whether he was murdered, or was
rambling-about deranged, or had committed
suicide. There are several circumstances,
as t? what he said and
did, seem to leave but little doubt that
Jjs intended to destroy himself when
licletuIouY^-fee.1 sha 11 not mention
as others hare pnbliiheSifetT??-?
The cause or causes that led to this
*vas not as siated by the State's
ccnespondeni, because his hands had
Ifft him, for they had not left him.
He had as many as he wmtid, ar.d
was well advanced in his farm work.
Nor were the negroes leaving i
our neighborhood. I "do not knew
| of one who has left. True
numbers came over from Ec'gelield
and got on the train at
{ I'happclls, but not one that I know of
from our neighborhood. He had bten
i if rowing more and more despondent
ever since Chri?tm&?, and for some
| weeks before he left, he wouid think
and talk about nothing else tlmn the
most dark and gloomy forebodings of
the fuiine. Tel lie was by "cnera!

TheEdisto District Lodge of Good

this place on last Wednesday and
Thursday, March 2nd and 3rd. There
were between seventy-five and one

of Elko received them with open
hearts and doors. For two days and

happiness. On Wednesday night two
most excellent addresses were delivered
in the Baptist Clnirch?one br the
Rev. J. G. Williams and the other by <
the Rev. Sifley, the Grand thief
Templar of the Lodge. These addresses
were enjoyed by all present.
Standing' room could scarce be had for i
the immense crowd. The music was
grand. The organist was Miss Annie

under debate was "Is woman's mind i

UNCONSTITUTIONAL RULES.
Usurpation of Authority by the Office
Holding Executive C?nimitt?o to Continue
Them in PoTrer.
c State.)
The rules prepared br the Irby-PopeJones
cub-committee of the Irby State
committee, under the supervision of
Governor Tillman, and subsequently
"approved and confirmed" by the
Irby committee, are unwarranted by
and violative of the constitution of \
1S90 in the following particulars,
among others:
In the first place, as Gen. MeGrady
has clearly shewn in the State, the
committee, had no power to prescribe
any rules. The constitution of 1800
not only does not grant that power to
the committee but it expressly provides
that county conventions shall be held
under such rules, not inconsistent with the
constitution, as each county may adopt.
Each county is allowed by the constitui
ion the right to fix its own rules,
and any delegation elected to a convention
under such county rules will
be u constitutional and rightful delegation,
the dictum of the Irby committee
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The rules provide that "every member
subordinate club or voter in a
Democratic prmiaT;' sJiaH pledge him- }
self to abide the result of the primary |
and to support the nominees of the I
party. Application for membership or !
offering to rote in a primary election
skull be deemed equivalent to such declaration
and pledge." Thi? is n?t only
unconstitutional, but it is infamous.
Whatever may be one's opinion as to
the moral obligation to abide the result
of a primary election into -which
one enters-ami we are of those who
believe ihai no oath is necessary to
bind an honorable man t.o acquiesce in
the hontft verdict of a fair primary in
which he takes part?and whatever
propriety or expediency there may be
m requiring an earn or sudiuib?i?h
from a voter in a primary, the fact
stands out that the Irby committee
was not authorized 10 require Mich an
oath.
But what is infaraeus about this
rule is ilie requirement that before a
Democrat can join a club he must
pledge himself to support "the nominees
of ihe party" whether he rote in
a primary and participate in the
choice of the ueminees or not. He
cannot nar? tne poor privilege ?accorded
to every member of every
reputable organization?of not voting.
If lie join a club, taking that pledge,
he mulit rote at the general election
for men he had no voice in nominating.
And what is more infamous still is the
dictum of the committee that a ai*re
"application for membership in a club
sholl be deemed equivalent to such a
tiledgeFearing, *ith reason, ihut
the manhood of Democrats would
revolt :it the oath proposed to be
administered to them upon jj;ninjf a
lib, th? commtitce undertook io
sol vs tlie question by flrclarin^ in
adva?ce that men icho refute to take the
nath shall he. oath-bound in svite of them- j
selves! This i>:iot oulv aeriiwe against
Democracy, ami law, ami jn-iicr, but
an outrage upon personal frrrdom to
which no self-respecting man, knowing
hi? righta, shoalii Mibmit. No l.'zar or
Sultan ever committed a more despotic
act than thc-c ulle-ed representative*
of a party whose name i? synonymous
wi'h liberty and personal lights. If!
lbel:br committc hi? the right or |
tin* ;?ower to tix a rule like th .t, it has '
tli" right a<d the power to pledge
eve y ciub member against bis will t?
voir, for Tillman, or to forbid tlie
admission "t any member who d?e?j
ii"t b'-ar u permit from the committee.
'I hi* is the mo.?t itnpoiiant of the
rules a* well a? ;he mo?t palpably
abominable; but the objections ?f
unfairness and unconstitutionality
apply to tnatiy mhera, anion* them
the requirement that before a negr?
Democrat can rote he shall prove
"by ten reputable while men that he
voted for Hampton in 1876 and h?s
voted tiie Democratic ticket ever
since?a condition impossible of obsei
ranee, and enc which is unfortunate
in its mention of Hampton's name,
since it violates the promise* of the
leader of 1876 by which HP?rro Democrats
were made Do?sible.
Other rules seek to take awr.y from
thr oounty conventions ami committers
their inherent and constitution-confirmed
right to manage their own
affiirs. They are as centralizing a?d
indefensible as the Force bill in their
purpose to suppress local self-government.
Wc make these quotations and comments
because, although the rules
have been widely published and commented
upon, we find that many
Democrats hare forgotten them or
evcrluoked their most vdieua features.

North Carolina 6's at 123, North Carolina
4'b at 9G.i, South Carolina brown
consols at 101.
Day before yesterday Alabamas
were selling at 1025, a fourth of a cent
less; Nortk Carolina 6's at 124, a cent
higher; North Carolina 4's at 97?, a!
cent and a fourth siore; South (. aro-1
liaa coneols at 9G, five cents lower.
In January, 1890, just before the
Shell manifesto appeared, Alabamas
were a cent and a quarter higher thau
now, North Carolinas were the same
as now, South Carolinas were worth |
six dollars and a "half more 011 the
hundred than they are quoted at today.
In July, 1S90, when the Tillman
campaign was under full headway,
Alabama bonds were two cents higher
than sixteen montks before, North
Carolinas were ene and a half cents
lower.
By August, 1890, South Carolinas
had dropped six and a half cents and
Alabanias two cents while North
Carolinas hud gaiued.

Hampton, as i* well known, advised
o: hen to tie so and would have done
so himself had he not lost his registration

ruttrs of the State did. All of them,
however, are no* engaged in an effort
to luiTt; all the fighting Hint is to be
done done inside the party lines and to
keep the radicals out ot it. In that
effort they deserve the respect and
good will ol all their fellow demo- 1
crats. They are honest men, good
citizens and loyal democrats.- They
do not believe Governor Tillman did
right in his campaign or lias done
right as governor. They believe his
methods and purposes tend to stir

They hare the right to think as
they do, t<# exprrss iheir sentiments
and to appeal to iheir fellow democrats
to help in removing evils and dangeis
they believe to be impending. Be-(
cau*e they use their rigiitfc as citizens
