KEOWEE COURIER. B. A. THOMl'ftON. I). A. BM TH. H. T. JAYNKS. BY THOMPSON. SMITH & JAYNKS. THURSDAY, MARCH 'J7,1890. Tho Convention of tho Farmers' Association Convonos in Columbia to-day. Many aro tho conjectures as lo what will bo tho action of this body in rofovenco to the nomination of Stato Ofllcevs at this time. While there soems to hti doubt about what toill bo done, tlicro eau bo little doubt about what ought lo be ?lone. Statements have boen made, pro and con, that Mr. li. R. Tillman has withdrawn as a candidate for Gov ernor, and that he will not be nomi nated by the Convention. Tho strong opposition to him willoh has sprung up all over the Stale, anti to which expression has been given in no uncertain sound, luis doubtless caused bini and bis supporters to reconsider, and become more onu" ttous in pressing his candidacy. But wo judge his position lo bo that ho would accept the nomination by tho Convention, while ho docs not pose as a candidate of his own accord, and that thus be holds himself in readiness to serve his friends among thc farmers at their earnest solicita tion. Such seems lo he his position as gathered hy us from our daily exchanges. Rut we fail to see any valid reason for making nominations at all. whether the nominee should he Mr. Tillman or any other man. We be lieve such nominations hy this Con vention to be wrong in principle, and therefore wrong, regard I es of who ever may be chosen ?is the standard bearer. It is proper and legitimate that a platform of principles should he adopted, stating in strong and olear language the demands ol' the far mers for reform in ur Slate Gov ernment, and on this plat form go into the campaign prepared lo win the victory which must surely bo theirs, if wise and conservative coun sels prevail in this Convention, and the light is then conducted fairly and squarely within the Democratic party. Let this be done, find right will surely triumph. An Appeal for Unity. Till" SOUTH CAROLINA DKMOCILVTIC ICX Kt 'UTI V li CM MI TT KU. ROOMS STAT J? KXHCUTIVK COM M ITT KI:, COI.UMIUA, S. C., March 1 I, 1890. To the Democracy ot* Smith Caro* Una : Upoil the re-organization of thc Executive Committee, in conse quence of the resignation of ils chairman, Hon. James l?\ l/.htr, il is deemed proper to issue a brief :<. J. dress to tlu Democracy ot South Carolina, on the eve ot au active and important campaign in which questions nf vital concern to tin State will be presented lu thc people, and in view ?>f the stubborn tact that we are still confronted and me naced by thc enemy from whoso con trol the State was redeemed in 18-70. The existence of this enemy is none tho less a matter of fact-, although as an active and organized foo lo good government it is not so clearly seen as in former days. Util thc domi nant party in tho Kodoral govern ment, Hushed with its restoration lo executive and legislative power, is just tis determined to-day as ever to wrest, from our hands tho control of this State., and UH it looses ground in other sections of the country, the ne- I oessity becomes more imperative io regain n foothold in the Southern Slates, where the identical mass of ignorant voters, so long used lo our disadvantage, are ready to respond to the call of their Ucpuhlicati leaders, whenever an opportunity is given for their resuscitation as a political power. The threatened interference with the conduct o' elections in sovereign States, which is being so adroitly and persistently urged in thc Con {?ress of the I'nit ed Slates, makes it tighly important that WO shall not close our eyes lo thc danger of thc situation, tn- rest supinely upon the victories of tho past. The numerical majority exists in South Carolina to-day which made possible the oppression and misrule of the carpet-bag governments, and it is only waiting a suitable Opportunity to bo wielded against the intelligence and virtue of tho State. Hence it is incumbent upon us to romain watchful and vigi lant, never loosing sight for a mo ment of the overmastering necessity WO are under to preserve the unity and integrity of the Democratic party in this State, because its over throw means disaster and ruin to the highest interests of all the people. The [Executive Committed, recog nizing the fact that there are differ ences of opinion and to a certain ex tent dissatisfaction among Democrats as tt) the administration ol' the gov ernment in this State, and believing it is Conducive to a healthy public sentiment that these differences shall bo freely discussed, yet in view of the momentous issues at Stake, WO Would appeal to all thai they shall settle such matters strictly within thc lines of our party organization, for it is vitally important to have tho active exertion of every true and un selfish Democrat in preserving that solidity which is essential to good government in South Carolina. Invoking the co-operation and sup port of every mail who claims to be a Democrat in tho maintenance of rightful measures for tho preserva* ?ion intact of our organization, thc Executive Committee would respect fully urge that the responsibility rests upon all to bear theo* share in this patriotic work, ns thc benefits accruing from honest and upright government aro equally shared by al!. Tho readiness and heartiness of all classes heretofore to render faithful service in this respect is a guarantee that future exigencies and emergen cies will awaken a similar response from every true and worthy son of South Carolina. Hy order of thc Executive Com mittee. JA.MKS A. HOYT, Chairman. Wi UK JON ns. Secretary. Tile Hatchery in Barnwell. The grand jury of Barnwell county have been discharged from further attendance upon tho Court now in session. Their iiual presentment, which is published to-day, is a re markable document. We aro told by tho grand jury that thc recent butchery in Barnwell of eight de fenceless prisoners by a mob of masked mon was "the most cowardly and cold-blooded assassination that has occurred in any part of our country since the foundation of our Government;" that it "bas shocked tho civilization of our country" and that "we have approached tho con sideration of this crime with an abiding faith in the loyalty .and htirnaiiily of our people,, resolutely determined to discharge the onerous responsibility devolved unsought upon us by our country, with fidelity to our country, to our State and to society. Hut so far no hill of indict ment lias been laid before us; no information, direct or indirect; nothing tangible upon which to pro ceed." The gram' jury then con clude their presentment as follows: "Wo stand in tho templo of justice, erected for its administration be tween man and man, under the shadow of the unspotted ermine of your Honor, conscious of the far reaching consequences qt such crimes when they go unpunished, ready lo discharge our duty, however unpleas ant or painful it may be, to (Jod, to Immunity and our country." Was there ever such a wast?? of words? Is it any wonder that vio- ? lent men mock at tho Courts and [hat the administration of justice is i failure when the grand jury of a i .onnty, whose duty it is "to take j iogni/.nnco of all violations of the ? law too excessive to be dealt with ? >y single individuals," profess that hey had "no information, direct or ndirecl; nothing tangible upon ivhieh to proceed ? The grand jury lenounco the butchery of the eight lefeneeless prisoners as "tho most cowardly and cold-blooded assassina tion" in the history of the eoun'.vy; from which it appears that thc jury really had some "information"' upon Lhe subject. It is presumed that when thc jury made ni\'mVestigation if the jail they f. iUM(i that eight prisoners were uK^,^ on gom0 ae. ?omit, but, so t\,v lls ()u. present incut diows, no inquiry was made as lo lhe where- ,iK,uts *uf nu. missing men. Wo are c??ltl, however, that "the jail was bjoud in good condition, and the prisoners spoke well of the Sheriffs treatment* What did Harrison Johnson and Judge Jones and 1'eter Hell and Hugh h ins and Ralph Mor ral and Hohei t Phoenix and Ripley Johnson and Mitchell Adams sav about "thc Sheriffs treatment?" Whore were they when tho grand jury visited the county jail and dis covered that tho prisoners were "complaining only ot a lit th suffer ing from cold, caused by n defective heater," which the Sheriff would have had "repaired had liol tho ex ceeding mildness of tho winter ren dered its use unnecessary until re cently V" I)i<l thc grand jury report lo the Court that the Sheriff had failed to account for eight prisoners who had been placed in his custody by the law? Did tho grand jury lind "no information, direct or indi reet" at the county jail when ii "approached the consideration of this crime, with an abiding faith in the loyalty and liiunanitv ol' our peo ?>,0?." , , . The grand jury say : "So far, no bill (d' indictment has been laid before us." Whose fault was thal ? ls the Solicitor to blaine for not per forming his duty, and whose business is il to report the officers of lhe Court for a failure to discharge their duties? Was there "nothing tangi ble upon which to proceed" in the failure of somebody to prepare a bill of indictment ? The grand jury conclude as follows: "Awaiting your Honor's fttrthor instructions in tho premises, we respect fully submit this, our presentment." Did his Honor give any "further instructions !iu thc premises?" and if he did not, why not? His Honor must have had some information, direct or indi reel in regard to the lynching of the eight defenceless prisoners, or he could not have denounced il as a "brutal butchery." The grand jury must have had some information, direct or indirect, in regard to this violation of tin? law or they could not have characterized it as tho most cold-blooded crime in the history of the country, and yet they were still found standing in the temple of jus lice, "under the shadow ol' the unspoiled ermine of your Honor, conscious of the far-reaching conse quences of such crimes when they go unpunished, ready lo discharge our duty!" Where does the responsibility for tho murder of thc eight absent pris oners rest? How is it to be lived? ls this crime to go unpunished ? The grand jury of Barnwell county have failed to do their duty, and the per petrators of "tho most cowardly and cold-blooded assassination (hal has occur rod in anv part of our country since tho founu 'ion of our Govern* meet" go unwhipt of justice. Can lhirnwcll county, "jealous of her honor and proud of her long law abiding record," rest under the Stigipa which has been placed upon it by the grand jury of the county? - Chuvlcston News anti Cowie)', A destructivo Uro occurred in Jackson ville, Kia., on tho 20th instant.

TOMAKSKK, 8. 0., March 20, 1890. -Pei AK C?UK?i?US Since tho clouds have vanished tho weather ?8 very cold, and wo think the fanners will have anothergood "spell" of weather for planting. Tho farmers aro buy ing commercial fertilizers quite freely, and a good acreage of cotton will be planted. As yet, nothing has been done in the way of planting crops, but people, as a general thing, are about ready to do so, and as soon as tho weather gets more spring-like, planting can be carried on very rap 1(11 v. lt is thought that the present cold snap will kill almost all tho fruit of all kinds-plums, probably, excepted.

The entertainment which was to have been given some weeks ago by thc Tomnssee school, but was obliged to bc postponed on account of .Miss Maggie George's entertain ment at the Dicket Tost school, and then again on account of rainy weather, was at last given on thc afternoon of the 14th instant, as pre viously announced in the COUUIKK. The commodious school building was tilled to overflowing with patrons and friends, ami at three v. .M., the even ing's exercises were commenced by a greeting chorus, whioll was oeauti iully rendered by tho entire school. Next was read un essay, subject : ?'South Carolina," by one of the pu pils. Then were ttnnoilliccd, ono after mother, appropriate recitations, ionising dialogD.es, and other suitable pieces, interspersed at regular inter vals hy beautiful songs, and all well rendered.. Among the best may be mentioned : "A Boy's liest Friend is Iiis Mother," -'The Water Mill," "Littlo Muggie May," The Visit," -Do They Miss Me at Home,?" "Massa's fn De Cold, Cold Ground," and "Ohl Black doe." The odd mo ments, which were occupied in ar ranging the stage, were made agree ably pleasant by INIiss Alice C. .Iones, who sang and played several pretty songs during these intervals. The entertainment was well arranged and well carried out, and all present seemed to enjoy it immensely. The decorations should he mentioned. They were :i prominent feature of the occasion, and, like the programme, were well considered and artistically executed. On one side of the build ing, the motto, "We strive to excel; wisdom is st rength," was gracefully curved, extending from the front to the curtains. Likewise on the other I side, was arranged on the same style, the motto, "Onward is our aim; edu cation is wealth." Then over tho front door were tho initials of the school, "T. IL S.," maile of ever greens, as were the other mottoes. Above the windows were placed handsome plaques, nicely adorned with evergreens, while above the side door was un appropriate motto, nicely framed and decked with laurel. The corners were nicely decorated with lacotbia, while the curtains, of green and bordered with red, ex hibited the words, "Friends, wel come," also gracefully curved. The decorations were very handsome, artistic and striking; the programme, consisting of 82 pieces, was well car ried out, and collectively, Miss Jones and her school may well be proud of their success. Mr. John I*. Henty is very ill. Wv hope he may soon recover. L'ev. J, S. Abercrombie preached at hint Shoals school house on the afternoon of Sunday, Kith instant. M iss A.
