This issue of the ADVERTISER
is printed in Red Ink in com
memoration of tlie Campaign
of 1876, which resulted in the
election of Wade Hampton,
Governor of ?South Carolina,
and Gen. M. C. Butler, United
States Senator ; and to the
"lied Shirt" Democracy cf|
Edgefield, which accomplished
these ends it is respectfully
dedicated by its Editors and
Proprietor.
HAMPTON AND EDGEFIELD :
Wo hsv* said elsewhere that when
Hampton, the great ??nd good, mounted
Ult stand, enthusiasm rent the heavens.
And thou, aa he stood, with f?ddo?l arms,
before the vast asaouibly, came rar< .
homage of breath lc** silenci-in the
majestic presence of our weil bulovud
Governor and chieftain. That ?nan
whose intrinsic virtue is far ab?>vo tue
Worthlessness of "common praise.'' Ho
who has never hesitated tu lb row aside
. very thought ul seif at Carolina's eal! -
Whether it Were to face with bared breast
the enemy's gnus, or to enter thu vortex
.if uncongenial political .strife : standing
alway? with unyielding firmness on the
great platform of truth and integrity.
Ho who treads tho dangerous path of pol
itical life, Surround? ii as it is wit'1 the
.?littering huos ol'ambition, yet keeps in
bl? bravo heart thu pure principles ol
patriotism untarnished -holding prinei
pies ah ovo party-conscience dearer than
ofllce-?nd thus presenting a high model
of Cuaracler Hud of manh.>..?l, by winch
tlie youth of Carolina may mould its fu
ture des iny, with honor to itself and
glory to i'.s country !
Hot ol'heart awi rash of act the son?
of Edged dd may bc, but Edgeliold
yields al! manly and loving honor to the
leader of her mea choosing- he whoM she
daringly nouiinuted anti more daringly
elected. Tue allectod doubts of outbid*
Counties and outside people . we can
stand, COUSCio?* worth and virtue sup
porting us. liut tba*. tSov. Hampton
should even *??.;/: t-> doubt u^. is au tn
Justice v/o could not endure fora mo
ment. Wo have ditfervd with him in
opinion as to moro than one ineaaur'
hilt always "without prejudice;" for lin
love and trust of Edgeliold w.ll abide in
bim furover.
The world has been told that Edgolield
is opposed to Hampton. '? in rods no jot
or tittle of truth in it. This so-called op
position logins ami ends with tiie Hau
lier County business. A small a Hair.
And we could with that our brave ?.
plo had not been so tenacious in tin
inHtter. We may not cany tho satin
banner of holiday display and parade,
but we know thc hands that held and
carried tho butti? flag ill tho heat ano
work of tho coolest of 'TU. Let otho:
Counties hang out their banners on th?
outer walls, but Edgetield will still, a*

M?SSKS. EDITOUS:-In looking ove?
the streets of Edgefield this morning,
amid the recollections of yesterday, :
what conclusion must persons come:
and what aro tho results of the politics
meeting at Edgclleld on tho 12th ?l ?y .
August, 1878? What good has been ac
eotnplislied by this ttr?-a: g ithering of thi
Clubs from tho different Townships ai
this point, where spirituous liquor Ito wi
a? freely as water, in back rooms ol grog
shop*, furnished by certain candi
dates? Who is responsible for tin
death of tho slain men 7 Who is respoii
siblo for the suffering of the mon whi
were wounded? Tho anguish of Un
bereaved? Tho woe, suffering and nov
erty of the widows and orphans? Tin

Was any good accomplished by ti.i
inseting; will any good r<-siilt (Von
keeping up this anniversary in the fu
ture? Why not meet at Contre Spring
four miles North of Edgeliold C. IL, :
porpetuato tho 12th day of August, 1871
If tho day is to be perpetuated in tin
future, by all means chang'! the plaw
of meeting. Tho persons in atithorit;
abnit Edge?old ar? |*owcrlos, win 11 .
drunken nvb riots through ibo sip'
unmolested, and dct'uei all law. Vi-|. :
?lay waa not tito first day such shooting
affray* hav?i occurred. And this lim t
should be ?topped ! If thc policoofthi
town is powerless, then cease to havo
such gatherings at the County seat. Mi n
will sell spirituous liquors, and when
reckless men, who huhitnally go armed
get drunk and crazy, tiny will kill ead
other without fear of God, of the gallows
of the penitentiary, or of being shot
down themselves like burglars or high
way robbers. There is a great and ter
rible responsibility lying at some mens'
doors ; and a fearful reckoning will como
lu a future day. lt may be soon !

subject, 1 would respectfully ask our
lawgivers if they think they have bene
iitted the morals of tho people of our
County, or our Trcasu?yy, by the tinker
ing thoy did on th liquor law. Wu
doubt it. When w e labe limier review
the number and character ol' the State
cases before our two last courts, we arc
forced to the conclusion that the morals
uf our people are nu what they Ougli '
be, or wiiat every good cit:/., n should
strive to make thom. Many '.;' our citi

lray all other expenses ol" tho County,
and ot' this sum tho Jail will absorb
about $2,000, and the Poor House $l,0o0,
or more.
Some kindly disposed person, over the
siirnaturo ol' J. G. E., in tho Advoliscr
of ?io 4ih ult., not having tho above
facts and dsn res before his eyes, said
among other things. "Itseems to be a
very difticult matter to make tho present
County Commissioners believe that we
aro actually in need of bridges.
I beg that ibo people of Edgefleld
consider ?he.se things and elect ?\ \Y.
Trotter to thoofllco of County Commis
sioner."
Now if Mr. Trotter will convince me
that he ran build bridges without money
I'll "go for him," and would advise the
taxp.ivers to sro to it that ho is made on?
i<l' the Comity Com missioners. Tho
Radicals built bridges without money,
it i* true, but the prosont Board cannot,
an1: would not if they could. Injustice
to Captain Stevens who has the super
vision of .1 <;. E.'s portion ol' tin- Coun
ty, I would slate thai in making our re
port to tho Comptroller General as to
what funds would he necessary to defray
tiie various oxpens.-s of the County, ho
said it would take *11,000, to build the
bridges actually needed in bis territory,
and urged that wo allow him most of
that amount, and though we asked for
over ?15,000, for all purpose*;, they only
made provision for tho raising ot about
s II,'1 ?? therefore weare greatly embar
rassed and mortified that wo cannot
meet ino ?xpohses of tho < 'minty.
Jurors aro compelled to leave their
homes and bitsku-Ns 1er throe consecu
tivo weeks, and aro only provti.xcd fl.50
per day ; their jury tickets will n >t even
go to pay their taxes. A farmer to have to
leave ?us crop for three weeks in th-J
month of .June ? Well, ii" our people hr.d
not been in bombero so long, they would
demand a change at once; espveh Hy
when wo remember that it is KO uncer
tain when this pay is to come None as
yet have been paid for service? rendered
this year, and some of those who served
last October ard ybt unpaid. Most per
sons who serve as juror* bein?-greatly in
need of money, dispose of t H ir claims
ata discount of thirty cont , <> . moro, on
tho dollar, so ho that loaves his business
.md serres as a juror gets but about ono
dollar per day. Now wo hope that tho
iiohtienieu who ? repose to go to Colum
bia and make, laws for us will take these
matters under consideration and devise
soma means of relief. Our worthy So
licitor has made some good suggestions ;
improve upon them if yon can. Do rid
tiie honest tax payers of tho ourdell of
feeding tho rogues in jail. J; can be
dono. .Most of Ibem hal rather be in
'jail than at work ; repair your roads, and
build railroads wita them, and wo ven
turo to predict th. t they will not bo so
ready to commit crime. I>o the very
best wo can in tho way of retrenchment
anti reform. Our taxe* for some years
to come will be heavy, sis lhere is a debt

ti nie; honored principle::, and in perfect
?.?.vally lo our party affiliations, we recog

fulfillment of all the liberal pledges made
by iiini in tho last canvass, the discharge
of all the duties of his high ofiice without
favor or distinction because of race <>r
condition, the repression of crime, thc

election held since they obtained control
of the State : and foi the system of .intim
idation which still prevails in many coun
ts \ wh< reby thlaiRepublicans are actually
prohibited from. meeting and organizing.
?. We denounce the Democratic party
for thc outrage perpetrated in unseating
Republican members of the General As
sembly, HO as to increase their majority in
the Legislature, and especially for depriv
ing the seventeen Republican representa
tives from Charleston County of their
seats to which they had been - elected by
over six thonaanu majority; and when
(.lections were held ito lill these vacancies
in Charleston, Orangeburg, Beaufort, Sum
ter and other counties for refusing to ??vc
tho Republicans any repre? ntatioh what
ever on the Com missioners of Elections
or the Board of Managers; for the frauds
committed ?n ?he management of those
elections, aiid particularly for-stealing six
ballot boxes containing Republican ma
jorities in the county of Sumter, and for
refusing to count ?he votes cast at certain
sorecincts ar. such elections in Beaufort
%-,<] Oi'ar.e?ii'irj ?ni- alleged in-mihinties
on the part of tho managers appointed by
themselves.
6. We arraign the JKanoeratic party for
enacting al the last session of the Genera!
Assembly the law whereby numerous vu
ting precincts in large Republican coun
ties were abolished .-:;> that thousands of
Re] oblican voters are virtually disfran
chised or else compelled to walk twenty
miles or more in order to vote, and in
some places to cross river* in order to
reach a polling place.
7. While condemning the conduct of all
public officers who may have in years past
violated the trusts conti led to them, and
while denouncing all fraudulent and dis
honest practices, and disclaiming any de
siro to shield any individual proved to lie
guilty of si'.eii offense?, we denounce tie
method hy which the Democratic party;
through manufactured testimony sonja:
o. inculpate men whose only p?fense was
their Republicanism, and we further de
nounce tho unfair and partisan character
? .:' the iee, ].: legislative investigations in
this State whereby tho fraud* com ?ai fled
by Democrats have been carefully screen
ed from public view and s.ll testimony
looking io their exposure has beor, studi
ously suppressed.
S. We reaffirm the declaration made
from t; me to time that ai the general elec
tion helo in this State on tile 7th day of
November, 187o, for Presidential Elector?,
?i iverhor and other State officers not only
weiv Ihe'Republieah Presidential Electors
. inly chosen, ?mt Unit Daniel H. Cham
berlain, together with the entire Republi
can State ticket, were also elected by the
votes ol' atma|ority of thc t qualified ?4<JC
turs. of this State.' ' '
'.!. We deem ii inexpedient to nominate
candidates for Governor and other State
officers, because, owing to thc condition of
affairs in this State, occasioned hy nile
club rule and tito years of Democratic su
premacy, it i.?. im possible, for ??ie Repubji
cati voters in many counties, without in
curring greal personal danger, to organize
for th'- campaign or to vote at the election
when held.
10; We pledge ourselves to assist in thc
work of pnrifynig ?ile public service, and
we demand that the local Republican cuii
venlions throughout thu State, wherever
they make nom?nala i,s, shah nominate
only such candidates as arc recognized as
men of Intelligence and integrity as weil
as of calablished dcvotion io the Republi
