At a mooting of the County Democratic Convention last Monday the b n mess transacted was almost exclusively of a routine nature. We do not attempt to give our own detailod account, but uso the secretary's roport, which was kindly i'u rn isl i cd to ns. We desire, however, to oall tho atten tion of the voters aud candidates to the action taken in regard to the Act of 1005, which fixes heavy penalties for bribing Or accepting In ibes, the use of liquor or other means of consideration for votes hy candidates, or, in other words, "tho l>U y lng or selling of voto?, for cash or barter, by candidates or beolors." lt is i\ strict and far-reaching law, one that tihnuld bo rigidly onforcod, and which, if enforced, will provo beneficial to tho votor*and candidate alike Lot every candidato and every voter road and study this Act carofully. lt will he found incorporated iu the pro ceedings of tho County ( 'on vent ion. The strict enforcement of sonic such law is badly needed to purify tho primary elec tions in this State. EDGEFIELD ENDORSES JAS. H. TILLMAN. Tho Edgoliold Democratic County Con? went ion has put itself ou record onco : nore. lu the meet i II j; last Monday .las. H. Tillman, tho slayor of Editor N. G. . iou.-.ales. was endorsed "unanimously" for a soat in tho Congress of tho United .States from that district. Tho resolu tion is as follows: "Resolved, That wo hereby endorse our ? Iis' inj-lushed follow-oitizon, .lames ll Tillman, for Congress from this Congres ?ional District, fooling that his services in tho National House of Representa tives would bo of groat beuelit to our people in tho light now being wagod against corporate greod and corruption in this country, a crisis whi? h threatens tho ropublio and calls for our host tal out." This resolution, as wo viow it, comes .with peculiar ill grace. That James IL Tillman has ability is not denied, but is it right to send, or attempt to send, "our .distinguished follow-citizeu" from tho jury, oven tbo"gh acquitted, to a seat in the National Houso of Repr?sent?t!ves? Wo think not. Mr. Tillman bad his op portunities tv? display the ability win ;h lie possesses wdion tho political honors of South Cai adina wei o his for the ask iug. Ho chose the wide and easy path that led to his quick undoing. Is it pro b iMe that a sudden thrusting of great ness upon Mr. Tillman will tend to im prove him or reflect any particular c:edit upon tho State at hugo or his own Con gressional District? Thus far, since the tragical culmination of his public life, ho lias shown his good sonso by remaining nundi in the privacy of his homo. It is not becoming, on the part of his friends, to drag him into publicity and political affairs before the blood of his victim has ?scarco had time to cease to llow. Wo protest against tho action of the Sedgefield convention for the good of tho State and for Tillman's sake. Let him prove himself, hy his lifo for some years to come, all that his admirera claim for bim, ami the time will not, even then, ho over ripe for elevating him to a place in tho National Congress. speaker of tho Ilotiso ut Representa tives, M.
