WALLINGFORD & KUSSELL. May 9, 1894, tf ; I ?l 1 With a i and Fui "1 INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS. THE BOLTERS ORGANIZE IN SECRET AND ISSUE THEIR CALL. The Butleriten Assemble and Organ* lie tne "Tme" uemncrauc f?ru"We. the People or England," Ac. The following declaration is the result of the recent secret meeting of the Butlerltes In the dining room ol the Hotel Jerome wbicb Is now made public. It will be noticed tbat tbe call Is Issued by "Thomas W. Carwlle, chairman Democratic Conference Committee," and U will be futher noticed that Mr. Carwlle's Is tbe only name given to tbe public. Tbe "call to arms" Is signed by nobody, and hence we have a political organization with only an agent whose name Is officially announced, and If we mistake not, tbe time Is not distant when Mr. Carwlle will regret his Indiscretion. The Press and Banner has no doubt of tbe patriotism of those whom Mr. Carwlles represents, and we have no doubt whatever tbat Mr. Carwlle's friends, whoever they are, are perfectly sincere In the belief that they, and not tbe people of South Carolina, are entitled to tbe offices. The fatherless document Is a poor production, lacklnic tbe abii'.ly, tbe boldness and the fire of the pronunciamento which A. C. Haskell Issued in 1890. There Is nothing in this unclaimed or onon ymoua prouuciiou wnicn win sur ice people wltb enthusiasm or cause the voters to rally around tbe flag whose stand bearers are unknown to the world. As a rule, the Democrats of Abbeville county voied at the primary election and took an oath to abide the result of tbe same, aud we take it for granted that our people will stand to their pledge, especially as they have no special enthusiasm for the re election of General Butler. General Butler sometime ago, asked to be allowed to conduct the campaign in his own way, or words to that effect, aud he was let alone. He gave fat Jobs to Tlllmanltes and refused tbe Bame to Conservatives. He filed Ills pledge. He went into the campaign and spoke at every meeting. He seemingly tried to get a belter plaoe on Tillman's platform than his competitor held. Seeing that he had not tbe slightest chance of election, he withdrew bis pledge too late for tbe act to become generally known before the primary eleollou. He now, wltb his friends, propose to kick up a rucus and smash the whole business which he could not control. The lolly and madness of this last act will be more apparent after the election In November. Tbe fatherless production which Mr. Carwile submits is without the name of a single person connected with it. But we presume Mr. Car wile Is In earnest aud is not ottering a practical Joke. We take It thm he has hssocI.ml tl,u? lhail In .<1.1 .rl..u 111... k, anonymous production to show to the nubile: Here It 1h : THE CALL. To the Democrats of South Carolina: The following preamble aud resolutions having been abopted by a representative body o!' Democrats coming from a large majoity 01 the counties of the State, and having since been approved by many Democrats lu all of the couutles of the State, It becomes my duty as chairman of the Democratic conference committee of Mouth Carolina to publish them of the State, and to earnestly urge all true Democrats to take active part lu tbe mass meetings proposed to he held, and to send representative deleeatlons of tl-e Democratic Stale Convention therein recommended. Thomas W. Carwlle, Chairman Democratic Conference Com. To the Democrats of Soulh Carolina: Whereas, under the guidance of those so called Democrat?, a majority of ihem, who have control of the parly machinery In this State, the leaders ol the rank and file of the party have attempted to commit them to the Third Party and to Populist doctrines: have alienated ub from our fellow-Democrats of the Uulon and have brought the parly in South Carolina into reproach as to its alignment with the National Democracy, adopted false and undemocratic principles and promulgated them In the name aud under the banner of Democracy ; and Whereas, the Democratic masses of the State have been grossly betrayed by met) charged with the party management, who have usurped the rights and used the machinery ol the party for selfishness, a majority of the so-called State Democratic excutlve commltee actually permitting another self-constituted committee, (only claiming to represent a faction of a faction,) to assume control of the party management, and In the most flagrant and offensive manner to disfranchise thousands of true Democrats; ami Whereas, a King has been organized and Is exerolslng most arbitrary and tyrannical Ml uuu Complete nishing G power, to the utter subversion of the will of the people, and thereby depriving tbem of tbelr political rights: Now therefore be It Resolved, That we, as true, loyal and uncompromising Democrats, repudiate the ThlrH Poctif nlo?fA-i^ ? a ?* vj piubiui mi icpcoicui/ lauu aii mo recent August state Convention or the faction now In power) forced upon our party, and hereby pledge our continued allegiance to true Democratic principles as enunciated at the last National Democratic Convention. We feel the absolute necessity of a complete reorganization of the party in this State, and invite all true Democrats to assist us in Its rehabilitation and In the organization of Democracy in South Carolina squarely in line with sound Democratic doctrines: fie It Futber resolved, That we hereby Invite the Democrats of the State of Sontb Carolina to assemble at the Court Houses of their respective counties on Saturday, tbe I5ib day of September, 18W, or at such other places and manner as they may determine, for tbe purpose of selecting delegates (two for every representative for the lower House and the Senate, to which tne county Is entitled) to meet In Columbia at a convention to be held on the 17th of September at 8 P.

The National Democracy will not Aid in His Independent Movement. Columbia Register. There Is less political activity throughout the State than would be expected in view of the probable new Independent movement. A good many people are fast coming to the conclusion that tbe movement Is not going to move. It has been alow In materializlog and has Just received a crushing blow from Wuhlngton which may kill It deader than tbe illustrious Hector. Tbe news from Washington Is that the national demooratlc congressional committee will not recognize the men claiming to be democrat* and has squarely pat them down as Independent. ThP TSTawb anri Pnnrl/n" - ? ... ?> WUCO|>UUUt)Dl II Washington baa been talking to Senator Faulkner. of We6t Virginia, obslrman of tbe democratic congressional committee. Tbe following portion of tbe interview referring to South Carolina politics will prove of interest In view of rumors as to tbe course Senator Butler and bis friends intend to pursue: "I asked him what the committee proposed to do in tbe way of helping tbe Sonth Carolina democrats in tbe pending contest. * "He replied that tbe committee would render some assistance in tbe First district to . , Colonel Elliott, but in tbe other districts there is no substantial opposition to tbe democratic nominees who were nominated at tbe recent primary. "The committee can not undertake to interfere witb Tillman democrats so long as they control tbe regular democratic organization and conduct tbelr flgbt within tbe party lines. Tbe subject has received some attention from the members of tbe committee, but tbey concluded that it would be nnwlse for them to take any part in tbe factional fight. In Colonel Elliott's district tbe republicans propose to make a strong contest, and It is but Just that the committee should belp him as far as It lies In their power. If similar contests are made In the other districts tbe committee will also render such aid and comfort as is at band. Tbe committee does not propose to overlook any of the districts in any of the States wbere there Is the slightest probability of losing a democratic vote. "Senator Faulkner says be does not think u is poflBiDie iDai speaker Crisp, Senator v Gorman and Bourke Cocbran are to go Into ihe South Carolina campaign In tbe interest of Senator Butler While they may sympa- > ' tblze wltb blm aud hope for bis success, yet they cannot afford, aa democrats, to oppose In tbat way the regular organization." ? GEN. ROBERT ANDERSON. Information Wanted ? Respectfully Referred to Reader* of the Presa and Banner lor Answer. Charleston, S. C., Aug. 30,1894. Editor Press and Banner: Dear Sir?For sometime pas' 1 have been gathering facts in tbe history of my greatgrandfather, General Robert Anderson, for whom tbe of Anderson was named, and I And tbat be lived in Abbeville District before the Revolutionary War, bis name appearing in a list of the captains under Major Andrew Williamson at Ninety-Six Fort, on duty November, 1775, according toGltts Documentary History of the American Revolution. I have been referred to you as Oe one most able to assist me in my search. T iere is a tradition in my family tbat RobL Anderson was born in the North of Ireland' and originally settled In Pennsylvania, and drifted down through Virginia and North Carolina with Calbouns, Williamsons, Pickens and other families of Scotch-Irish extraction, finally settling in Abbeville District (then known, I think, as Ninety-Six District) but I have no proof as to the truth of this theory. Any assistance you may be able to give me will be gratefully received. Yours very truly, Edward Anderson. SHARON'S ENTERTAINMENT. Theatrical Performance for the Bene* tit of the Academy. Sharon, S.
