WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday, March 16, : : : I8i>2 Heed gives Crisp about as good - as he sends. The present Congress promises to j iro on record as a No-Nothing-Con-j gl'eSs. Mr T. L.

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. "We caif t see why they should have W representation in the Democratic party | based on negro Republican rotes. The Democratic party is pre-eminently the white man's party, and represental i tion in the party should be based on | ^ J A'~ amounts to the J thing Democratic voters. Mi*. C.i>. i'ORD writes acommunica880^ tion published in this morning's issue, which wc hope will be widely read. It is in the right direction. Mr. Ford * was a very enthusiastic supporter of tJovernor Tillman's duiing 1 he last caxipaign. !! appeals to his fellowTilluianitcs to meet the antis half way, and shake hands in union, iic urges upon the people to insist upon a primary. He is certainly coirect in asserting that that was one of the leading features of the last campaign, and that ttiose in power uave I?ut?icu the peoples'demand. Jnstsr.ch frauk, outspoken articles as Mr. Ford's are what we need. As he puis St, it is time "for an unlimited supply ot patriotism." We hope that his com rrill ,1r> ortrtH .is it deserves, i muiiiuuiivu - ~ o ? 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 * v - - - -i i ?r ' - in ?miwrr 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. "'-.I- TJ mhfAii Tfrt fov/ll'! ?1 it UUC .KLUliJ jJCVSi* JliV Uiov aui vi v ?% 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.

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 \vnn various suiuiws uuug uiu 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! cunsent th? be*t farmer i.i t>:ir com inanity, an.i oy the wav, lie was one of the ouiy tw? nirn in our mi^bborI hood who never sold col ton >ccd, but kept them to improve hM land. i have frequently hettrii that he was nt?t emtarr#s>ed so as to cMtse any anxiety.

TheEdisto District Lodge of Good Templars met with the Elko Lodge at this place on last Wednesday and Thursday, March 2nd and 3rd. There were between seventy-five and one hundred delegates, and the good people of Elko received them with open hearts and doors. For two days and night? every one was full of life 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 Nevils, of Blackville.

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.
