Dr. Richmond Thrown From a Buggy and Seriously Injured. The following recount of a sciious accident iu which Dr. J. M. Richmond, a brother of Mr. J. L. Richmond of this County, and a former citizen of TToJrftoiH was rerv seriously and painfully injured, we clip from the St. Joseph (Mo.) Daily Xews: I).*. J. M. Richmond was thrown violently from his buggy by a. runaway accident in front ?fTootle's Opera Hous^ on Francis streei, at 10:30 o'clock today, and sustained a fracture Oi the left leg. He was driving in a westernly direciion when tils buggy wa? sent flying in the air by :i rear end collision of a runaway horse, attached to another buggy. The doctor was thrown rgainst the curbing with great force and wa:. rendered unconscious for a time. TT/% .. > r xs/1 i n o AOt'lMQftA liV JJLi; una \\s c% vui * iw^v several friends and conveyed lo his (residence, 130S Felix (street, where his injuries received proper surgical | attention. Besides the fracture of his ! leg, he sustained several cu!8 and bruises and suffered from the shock. The leg was found 10 be broken at the kneejoiut. and is thus tendered more than c?rd?:mrily painful, and the doctor will probably ha\*e a stiff leg during the remainder of his life. The runaway horse which collided with Dr. Richmond's rig belongs to Dr. Washburn. The latter's colored hostler was exercising ujc auimai, when the lines broke and the colored n.aw wa6 thrown 1'rom the bug^y in front ?f Dr. Geiger's officc on Francis street. Both buggies were badly smashed up. DISCOURSE ON SLAXOEK. Messrs.

Editors: A short time ago I issued nn address to the Democrat* of FaiitioM, which was given :o the two papers < i' the Csmnty :o be published. Vi-tir paper published it and I am gruK-fu!. It was"crowded" out in the other by nieces which I don't think were c:i!cu!a:e.i to engender harmony. In the address alluded to, all the earn fsit;ess of my nature, ail the power of inv intellect mcii as it was, and ail the ufiection of a heart which has never been untj.ie to the people of this County were combiucd to warn them ! of I lie dangers which I honestly behaved surrounded them. I urged thrtn lo comc together like Christian m?n and brothers and patriots, such as I bad known them in daysonly recently passed, ai;d 1)2 reconciled wun a vie^v to uniting a^ain and presenting a solid front to a common danger, bu! more especially to heal the wounds, social ami political, from which we are suffeiing so much at present. This address as iar a? I have heard has been well received and r?a=, Iain happy to hear, doing good amongst the masses of both factions for whom it was intended. I o.? coarse knew that tho.-e upon either side wlio were contentious, or had secured officc by the strife and malice which had been engendeied, and whose chances for re-election wuuid not he enhanced by onr Cuming together would tuke'no stock in it, but, as I saiil, it was lor the people in whose honesty and patriotism I btil! have the utmost confidence. Just at this crisis a correspondent signing himself "Greenbrier" in a communication to von, commends the address, recommends favorable action in its snggenion 10 harmonize, but mars the whole scheme and destroys much of its effect by addinir id the next line that lie wos sorry to learn that I was in Columbia attending ail independent meeting before the ink of my article icas dry. Tins ungrateful lling, and unchristian insinuation from my own neighborhood where l>y people hive lived lor an hundred and tif'ty \ears, and from a club the old<st in the County and peculiarly the creaiurc ot my creation, and whj^itc"fiim-(rmost krr^iwif glories it so richly tneriicd under my immediate leadership,?pardon the reference, I cairt help looking b*ck occasionally.?was calculated to, and d d neutralize much good that might otherwise hare been accomplished. Let me submit the following: I was and am a member ??f the Straight out Executive Committee. I have no apology to make, nor am I ashamed of it I Mvcpd nlifMri:mi-e lo it. unit 110 oilier faction h?>d a right to command niv services. 1 was summoned by my (chairman to uttend a meeting of tlie committee, ami in the performanc-: of what I though; my duly I went down. After we had assembled, being called on for my views as to what should he done, I aro?r sayinjr. <kI have the proof sheet of an article which will appear in my County paper tomorrow, which gives more concisely my views than 1 can state them orally,'' and read the identical address you have published. Not only this, but as every member who was present knows, I urged the necessity of the course recommended 1II 11. I have made this statement not that I cared a jow of bin* what "Greenbrier' or anybody pise suspected, who eared to be so little informed of facts, and who would shoot oft his mot ;h thus recklessly, and do damage like a thoughtless boy uiight spoil a painting \rilb a single daab of mud. Not iliat I expect to make any friends by ir, or gain any advantage personally, but because lam not willing to have ihe good I think the address might do impaired by this smart Aleck who I really think not inimical to the scheme, but was not cognizant of themischief he was doing. In conclusion, let me nrsre ti!)on von the necessity of reconciliation. 1 believe that both sides have erred in several instances, ami that it is not difficult to reconcile our differences if we comc in a spirit of mutual concession. This is honorable, and is the only ba-?is on which it is desirable, for any compact not founded on honorable concession when both arc to blame would not be permanent and would not and should not bind us whilst it did last. T. W. Woodward. AX AFl'JSAL JTOli VSJTY. To the Conservative Democrats of Fair field County: I have been very favorably impressed by a:i address to the Democracy of Fairfield County, written by our worthy iScna:or on the 23rd of iast month. As one who opposed him in the last bitter campaign in this County by every honorable meant of which I wa6 cognizant, I can heartily say that I for one am willing to meet him "half way" in any measure that looks toward bringing the white people of Fairfield County to a harmonious settlement of iheir political differences. I believe ihe Major to be sincere in his desire to bring the people together. Let old Fairfield set the example of a united white people, and let us show a solid Democratic front to a common enemy in the next campaign. If in a moment of excessive jealousy for personal liberty of thought and action, cither faction lias transgressed any portion of the constitution of the Democratic party, let us pause and reflect if it is not better and wiser to conserve that from which wc have received so much good in the past, than to destrov where we can never hope to build as well. No political party can sur\ive without strict adheranee to its constitution. I Though the coniftitutir^-^i^e Democratic party m'rgiit no jln/as" it should be, the organization has served us well, and today is the most conservative political party, and the best form ot government of whidh history teaches. It is essentially the only "form of government for us. To maintain the grand ohi party founded by Jefferson and nurtured by Jackson should be the desire and pride c.l every good citizen in the County. In order to do so there must be harmony. We have had itfovo .lifWrmces ft* in wh.-it was fvjn stitutional and that which \?as not; but nothing can be gained by reopening and discussing the differences while wc areadirided people. And the time seems propitious for a reconciliation of the factions in Fairfield County. I suggest to the conservative Democrats of Fairfield County, who have an interest in her welfare and desire her prosperity to meet in mass in the Court Ilouse Saturday 10th inst. in order to select a committee of conference whose duty shall bt- to confer with the two Executive Committees us the best method of bringing the factions together, and of calling a conventiaa of the Democracy of Fairfield County.

The >plit at the Convention was caused by difference of opinion in regard to the report of the committee on credentials. The County Executive Committee appointed a day, and published in The Xkws and IIekai.d. to act on each club poll list, allowing anyone to come forward and examine the same, and point out any irregularities and show cause why any name, in any club, should be stricken oil". Two Straightouts and ?ne or two Tillmanites of the Executive Committee were appointed to net for committee. The committee met and action taken as statel. Said action put the Straightouts ahead. The Tillmanites claimed this a departure from established customs. The Straightouts claimed that it was fair, save time and confusion at the convention, and the chairman did not know who had a right to vote for chairman only as prescribed bv the committee on credentials. Alter the election of chairman, then there would be a committee on credentials ap-.imntprl. The Tillmanites insisted on f the committee on credentials before election of chairman. The Tillmanites left the County Convention. Both factions organized and sent delegates lo the State Convention. The Tillman delegation was seated rfnd the Straightouts left the State Convention. The Tillmanites claiming they were dealt unfairly with at the County Convention and the Straightouts claiming they were dealt unfairly with at the State Convention. The Tillmanites supported the nominees of the State Convention at the general elec<1./* Qir>ntc fhiiirmio- tVinv I LiUll , lll\^ L'Clili^utvuiv g ^ were thrown out of the Democratic ranks at the State Convention and had. a right to vote for any Democrat they prefcred. They nominated a State ticket and some ?f them smmn'-tpd-rr?' r50fne"of"tTiem supported the Republican Ensor against Capt. Shell for Congress. They claimed that Capt. Shell, the author of the March Manifesto, in said Manifesto, abused the Democratic administration unwarrantedly. The Tillmanites insist that they have control of the County Democracy, because of the action of the State Convention and the State Executive Committee. The Straightouts finint tlint then- have control because they organized lawfully at the County Convention and that the State Convention seated or recognized the Tillman delegation by might rather than right and "each County has exclusive control of its government. Ss the consequence is we have two distinct County Chairmen and two County Executive Committees. Its very evident that both factions have good -1- -C grounus lorowiiuisuip. before in a communication I believe the Tillman faction hare the legal right to ownership. A chairman elected in 1S90 will hold good to organize the party in 1S92. Ah expression of the people now would not necessarily test an expression two years Ug9. JDlllj il iS linjJUi itiwc AUI no iu act right and equally important for us to exercise those rights so as not to cause any one to act wrong unconsciously. We have all actcd un-wisely, and if persisted in will terminate disastrously to the country?I say country, because I firmly believe the action of the Counties? Fairfield and Sumter?was the prime cause of the Haskell ticket at the general election. It would be very inconsistent, by their actions heretofore, for the StraightoAmo ftriii' t<-? tli(? rrillmnr?

We should all exercise an unlimited supply of patriotism, and join hands and hearts at the Court House where we separated and we would ever remember it as one of the grandest meetings ever held in Fairfield County. So, friend Tillmanites, as you love South Carolina and her future; as we love our families and the families of our friends and neighbors on the other side, meet them half way?yes, if needs be, more than half way. But it is not nor never will be necessary for us to go more tjian our share, for I am confident they have acted conscientiously considering everything from the March Convention to date, and are as true men as rtwrt,. tii<? ?nil ftf South Carolina. Compare, if you please, the rears from 1S65 to 1876, with those from '76 to?90 and I believe argument will cease. For uniting the County I favor the plan suggested by I). II. It strikes me as recognizing the action of each faction?County Chairman and Executive Committees. Some time since I stated in your paper that all those who were informed, Uof eimiim'tsd Tillinn.ii. h:ivo Hldl, realized all they expected of him and ' his administration. In 18(J0 we were j told by State authority that the con-1 yention plan would govern the *90 election and the primary plan the election in '92. I learn new that the said primary is on!/ a change from electing- delegates at the local clubs to an election of delegates in the County. Wonderful primary! Regular convention and a convention is simply "ring rule." 'I lie primary as I understand I: .. as the very esence of the Farmers' Movement, or better expressed the Peoples' Movement. Of course the Agricultural College, rotation in oflice, election of men on merit, the progress of the nineteenth century were important measures, but could -not have been securcu inrougu any other channels but the primary, save the prejudiced, heated, extreme, mudthrowing campaign of 18'JO. Prior to 1890 we had through the convention, ring rule in maturity. With the conj vention we have now, ring rule in its I infancy. Every officer from Goverj nor down should be elected by primary, piiv.'> a iii i smrprr?^rrrlCTi^^L'.'l_of, for and by the people, true Demo**? cracy, self-government. All this talk j about numerical inequality in Counties and County pnae i* aosuru anu re- i fleets 011 the intelligence and patriotism ofl the people. Its only equalled by the State Executive saying the people haven't sense enough to vote only through representative delegates. One delegate in Columbia is more pliable to a ring than two hundred voters at the ballot box. That's about a fair representation?one to two hundred. The primary is fair. just and proper, and I'm satisfied if! the people vrerc united they would i have it. I'm con&dent its the only1 plan that Trill unite them, until, forsooth,. its too late. With aie as an admirer of reform it has been a grand principle. 1 remember Trith pleasure that I did all I could in my humble l way to recommend appointive offices i in the Ceunty through the primary ! and have never had cause to regret it. I shall ever contend tor it: l oencve it a duty. It will succeed "shape your course in life by the euternal principle of truth and right; tread the path of duty unflinchingly and success will crown your efforts." I would suggest that at every po , , ! II'- * - I I P I ~1 iitical meeting- in the ?-tate the people would ask the State Executive Committee to give?yes its theirs to give? the primary and save South Carolina. Messrs.
