Though changing the very organic law 1 of our .State, the work ol this con vention will ! be amendable to no power other than the wishes of its members; for It has been de- < elded that the doings 01 hn uouy mitm ii.ji. ue iubmittert to the people for their Hpproval.

Intact, ibe ouly arguuieut ottered in behalf of this convection has been along Che line ol'more thoroughly Intensifying ibe ilretuy abnormal and by circumstances unwarranted prejudice against the unoffending negro. As the embezzler begins his career by i 'ilealing smaller sums and using every preMillion that, skill cm employ or ingenuity invent to cover wnat he has done, grows more reckless as success makes him the more Involved and Hie greater rogue, and finally in emboldened desparation takes everything in dght, leaving nis suffering vi -tims the consolation contained In the question. What are j you going to do about it? So has been the tiistory of the present Democratic party in South Carolina. It began its career by break Ing every sugar-coated promise mane to the " negro, Uaiiip on and the representatives of j 31s government, declaring in the meanwhile, nowever. hi the outside world?both through leading men and powerful newspaper*?that * llshonesty was unknown In the Stale's polit- i ical realm; growing bolder because of the mceess Hiteouing its methods of fraud, supiressloti and intimidation, and, as is natural, < perhaps, les> "sensitive of right and more de- ( tlant to sentiment; we have, as a climax, the . issarauce, given by tLose empowered to so peak, that our right of franchise and all the ( tocompauylng privileges will be taken away rom us w thout the q.iesiion of how we like t being raised to the dignity of consideration. The present is not the lime, nor doas the ocsastoo justify, a mincing of words, much less r i lack of activity. A desparation born of and ostered by a righteous cause and a deep sense ' >i wbai we have to gain or lose should fire us. * since our p-ople an a race have but lew lead- > irs In whom they nave any confidence other ,han their preachers, and since It Is our God;lven mission to cr.v aloud against wrong, at 0 ill times and in all places?even high planes? f ve, the negro mini-try of South Carolina, rejardiesn 01 denominations, must awaken to c he responsibilities which our vocation, the { lemands of the hour and the otherwise helpessness of our people Impose.

SelntM to tbe Important Matter of Registering the Voter*?What he Has to Bay About the Situation. The State. Both wings of tbe Republican party la ioutb Carolina now seem to be up and doing, tome weeks ago the Independent wing came forth with its call tor a State convention, looking to a big fight on the matter of electing delegates to tbe Slate Constitutional contention. Then came tbe colored ministers with tbelr call for a convention and now x>me8 tbe regular Republican organization, evhieb tbe other factions propose to snpplant, with a circular to the several Republican ?unty cbairmen all over the State, which imeaks in pretty plain terms to tbe negroes. Here is tbe circular: Headquarters Republican State Executive Committee. Columbia, Jan. 12,1895. ro tbe Republican County Cbairmen : Tbe office of tbe supervisor of registration for each county will be open at tbe court bouse for general registration, renewal of certificates, etc., on the first Mondays In February, April, May, June and July. In addition Lo these days tbe office will be open for tbe purpose above stated, and for tbe registration of all persons wbo be.ve not previously registered, on Monday, tbe. 4th of March, and on eacb following day, except Sunday, until Thursday, March 14. These are tbe only days on wblcb there will be an opportunity to register before tbe election of delegates to tbe 11?b||??IIa?uI aanuonilnn Thfl olontlntl ftl UUUOI IIUIIUUIJI WU TCIlilWUI A UW WIWV?>W? w. ? delegates will be neld on the third Tuesday In August, at d each county will be entitled to a* many delegates as it has Senators or Representatives in the General Assembly. The principal object in holding this convention is to disfranchise the colored voter, but owing to I he factional differences in t he Democratic party, there is an opportunity, by wise and Judicious action on the part of tue Republicans, and especially of the colored men, who constitute so large a proportion of the Republican party of this State, not onlv to defeat this scheme to nullify the Constitution of the United States, but to accomplish much to promote the best Interests of the whole State. As absolutely necessary to success, an effort should be made to register every voter. You should Instruct the precinct chairmen to see that every Republican makes an effort to register on the days above mentioned. The earnest co-operation and supoort of the colored ministers of every denomination should be solicited in this matter, which affects the Constitutional rights and liberties of the race which they represent, and in the vital interests Involved is elevated above the plane of party politics. A committee should be organized at the court bouse to assist voters in securing their registration certificates and procuring accommodation for those from a distance who may be obliged to remain at the - 41 1 ?l, O county seal lor mure iimu uuc uoj uuimg um ten days on which the office ot supervisor will be open during the month of March. The great and all-Important duty at this time Is to register the voters. It does not seem advisable at this time to call a convention of the party. but after the close of the registration in March a Republican convention may be necessary tor determining the policy to be adopted In the selection of delegates to the Constitutional convention to be voted for on the third Tuesday in August next. E. A. Webster. State Chairman. Attest * J. H. Johnson, Secretary. WHAT WEBSTER SAYS. State Chairman Webster is not taking any stock in the ^Independent Republican" convention, aud does not see where it can do the Republicans of the State,of either faction, any good In the matter of the coming light. He endorses very heartily the scheme of tbe colored preachers to work through thelrchurches on a unllorm plajj. THE LITERARY CLUB. An Informal Meeting: at which \'o Es*ay was Read. The Literary Club met last Wednesday night at the home of Mr. W. A. Templeton. Mr. w. A. Templeton was called to the chair, and W. C. McGowan, Esq., was elected permanent secretary. A free discussion of club matters was had. Mr. Walter L. Miller moved to ask our Congressman for any public documents at their disposal. He thought that the memorial speeches over the dead would be of especial Interest. He had read such notices with interest. All public documents could be turned over to the school library at the end of the year. Mr. Wilson objected for the simple reason that be disliked lor the club to make the request, and for the further reason that the books were of but little value anyhow. The motion was adopted without further objection. Mr. Miller moved that the club ask others thau members to write essays. This met with opposition. The members thought It best to stick to the old rules. As a further test, Mr. Miller moved that Dr. Grler, of Due West, be invited to deliver an essay before the club. The club, while holding the highest regard for Dr. Gner, thought not to change tneir rules. Mr. Aug. W. Smith moved that Hon. W. C. Benet, Hie originator ur luuuuwui we emu be elected au honorary member, and that tne secretary be instructed to convey expressions of regret at bis removal from tbe bounds of the club. This met wltb unanimous concurrence. Mr. R. M. Haddon Invited the club to meet at bis bouse next month, which Invitation was accepted. Mr. W. A. Templeton was chosen essayist, with Judge McGowan alternate. We want three or four setting hens, and will give a liberal price for them. W. E. Bell Cash Co.
