THE SENTINEL. J. E. BOGG8 Ebron. D. F. BRADLEY & CO., I'oPRPKORB. PICKENS 0. IH.,S. C.: THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1886. The Primary System. The primary system of nominating a candidate for Congress from tho Third District is impracticbale under the present constitution of the State Democratic Party. We are, and have boon in favor of the prineiple of the primary system for the Distrit nom ination, but it would not be safe to risk the plan, or establish it as a cus t'om, ulless District politics can be brought down to as fine a point as county politics. Under the constitu lion of the party the county conven tion makes whatever rules are neces sary for the loection, but the District convention has no such authority. Until there is an amendment, the Congressional convention can meet for no other purpose than to select a canci late for Congress. The Uso.i'ns aud~ the Crops. It has rained and rained again, and it. did look like it was going to rain the summer through Some of the farmors seem to be (liseounrged and not without reason. Cottoni anl bottom corn promiso very little. They look sickly and stinted. Both the wheat and oat crops have been considerably damaged. '"Whlat siial we do?" has become a serious qes tion with many. We trust the disas ter to the crops so far has been over rated. Sometimes we have a better crop than an unseasonable spring in dicates, and it is hoped this will be one of the times. What the farmers lack in good weather, they will make up in a good measure, by industry and good man agement. These offset a great many of the difficulties which beset the farmer's path to success. Be Conservative. There is no use in being an extro mist in anything. It serves only to gratify a selfish thirst. The paths of extremists in the most laudable pur - suits, lead to failures. The laws of nature teach conservatism. The lightning decends to the earth in a zigzag course, and the smoke from the chimney goes up in curls. The rivict smooths the pebbles wvhich ob struct its flow, but it beconmes a ma jestic river, and rolls in silence to the ocean. It takes careful and gradual train ing to make a crooked scion straight. Do not be too short, and sharp in bringing your bJoy up to the standard but press him gently, firmly, and ho will reach thme standard. Men are sometimes thrown vio lently from their hobby horses and have their breath knocked ouit,bly try ing to charge right over other peo pies' hobbies, when they could, with just as much propiety, and with far rwmre politeness, have gone round the ether way. Now if you have a good measure to propose for the State or county, press it gradually, gently, firmly, and above all with the greatest defference for the opinions of others. Things that move violently in straight lines, leave destruction in their wake, and most generally come to a sudden, everlasting, disastrous stop. Every body that would succeed well must be conservative. The great mass of the people is conserva tive. They are sometimes thrown into confusion by extreme leaders, but they make conrcessions, crush these leaders and there is a great calm. Agitation is now the order of the day. Extremists are large and light. They will come to the surfaco like empty gourds in a jolting (cart loaded with potatoes. Let then fall over board, and take those who are willing to make concessions. Be con servative. The Executive Commnittee. The County Executive Committee snet at the Courthouse on Saturday the 8d dasy of July inst., all the mom bers being present. The committee was called to order by the chairman, and C. Hf. Carpenter was appointed Tucedy the 17th day of August was fixed for the Primary Election.

Last Saturday, the Pickens Cbunty Denooratic Convention was ealled to order at 12 m., by Mr. J. R. Gossett, Couuty Chairman. In a few well cho sonl and most appropriate remorks, ho congratulated the convention on the changed ooondition of political affairs, since the last meeting of a. convention in this County. Hoping that the con vention would carefully consider the business in hand, remembering that we must he watchful to insure a con tinuance of good government, he de clared the convention opened for bus less. Mr. J. R. Gossett was elected tem porary chairman, and the clairnmian of each delegation were appointed a com mitto on credentials. A full list of (1aegates was reported from the fol lowing clubs: Easley, Liberty, Hurri cane, Pickens C. H., Dacusville, ( en tral, Pumpkintown, Eastatoe, Cross Plains, making in all 71 delegates. Mr. J. R. Gossett was elected Pres ident of the convention, and Dr. T. W. Folger, Secretary. On motion the delegates from the Foster's Store Club was admitted into the coniveltion. Maj. I. A. Child was elected Comi ty ChairInanl for the term of two tiars. In thanking the Conventionll for the honor conferred upon him, lie re minded them, that he would need as sistance, in his enldeatvors to promote harmony and streIgth in the party. The following nominations for mem bers of the Couity Executive Coim mittee from the different clubs were con firied: L. M. 1erry, h:statoc; W. 1). Glenn, Liberty; T. W. Folger, Cel tral; L. R1. Dalton, Hurricane; T. C. iobinsoln, 'ickenls C. H.; V. W. F. Bright, Dac)usvillc; C. H1. Carpenter, Cross Plains: J. 1). I. Keith, Plunp kintown; P. H. Williams, Foster's Store; It. L. Gilstrap, Eastatoe. Mr. J. W. Thomas of Dacusville was then elected 1st-Vice President of the Convention, and Col. C. L. Hol lingswort It, treasurer. The following resolutions were then oflered by Col. C. L. Hollingsworth: Be it resolved by the Democratic party of Pickensa County, in conven tion assenmbled, on the 3d day of Ju ly 1886. 1st. That taxes are too high, un reasonal e and burthersome to the people and should be made lower. 2d. That the number of State and County offices should be reduced. 3d. That the salaries and fees of all State and County officers should be reduced so as to allow only fair remuneration for services rendered. 4. That this convention is in lar mony with, and endorses the farm ers movement of this State. 5th. That each voter of the State should be aroused up to a proper sense of his duty in casting his vote intolli gently and with a feeling of his indi vidual responsibility in selecting the proper man for the office. 6th. That so long as party organi zation is necessary to good governm nment, it is the sense of this meeting, that in order to get the will of the honest and intelligent voters, that each true democrat should vote direc tly for the man of his choice and for this purpose we recommend thme State Democratic Convelntioni to p)rovide for' the selection of all nominees for State oflicers, Congressmen and Cii euit Ho licitors by a simple and well regulatod system of p)rimnay elections. Mr. Hlollingsworth began to discuss these reoutos whenm he was inter rupted by Mr. R. A. Child, be.cau.e he (Mr. Child) thought the dliscusstion would conlsumoe much time, and that it would be best to go into an election 4 of delegates to thme State anid Con gressionald Con)iventio ns. Mr. J. WV. Thomas muoved that thme convention hear from Mr. H-olbnmgs worth. Mr. Child moved as a subusti tute to elect delegates. Mr. Tavlor mioved to lay that miotlton on1 the' tia ble. Lost. So) the coinvenitioni elected the following delegates to the State Convention: Rt. A. Child, Coul. Rt. E. Bowen, C. L. Hollingsworth, R. (1. Gaines, Dr. WV. T. Field and A. lB. Talley. Delegates to the Congressional Convention: T1. W.\ Fol)ger, WV, M. Hlagood, J. E. Boggs, J. C. (riflin, WV. D). Glenn and WV. J. BIr:mulct t. Mr. J. P. Catry thlen on'ered rules for the Primary Eletion wvhich were unianimously aLdop)ted. The rules will be publliShod the week before the Pri mary Election. The tie for thto pri1 martuy election prov ~oked considerahlod discussion. Mr. W. M. Hlagood muov ed that it be on the 17th of August. Mr. Hlollinugsworthm mtoved ais a sut.i tute that it be heft t; thet ex(cutive conuinittee to fix the time. The sub TIheo resolutio ns oft'ered by Mr. H1ol lingworth were then taken uip. The dliscusionl was confined imostly to the last resolution. Mr.i Ho(lliugsworth was first heard. lie objected to the conventiona plan btecause the coun ties were rep)resenitedl by population andl not by denmocratic voters. Spartan burg and1( Anderson counities had moreW dlemocratic voters than soime of the lower counties which had twice as manuy dlelegates in the State con.1 vention. This wvas not right. He wanted candidatos for all offices tin be requiireod to come amng the people and let every voter see them and( hear their views. Mr R A Child opposed the 6th reso lution, because it wotuld givo the he ger counties undluo advantage over the smaller. He urged as a suhtaituto to thoe 6th resolution that our delegates to tihe State convenmtioni be intrct.iled to advocate a change in the~ con41stitui tion of the party, so that a county~ ihould have representlafioni in our~ Starte, Congressional and .Ji'dicial con ieomtions according to her dlemoratie rote. This primary olection plan, while working well in c~ounities, was tn experiment too dangerous to1 at tempt for State or Congress. Even m~Ou m ommt, p-imna.ui a aime tv, and not upon representation in the General Assombly as at present. On motion of Mr. Child, the dele rates to the congressional conven tion, if the Primary Election Syster bo not adopted, were instrueted to vote for the Hon. J. S. Cothran. At 3 o',-ock the Convention ad journed sinc (lie. Education in the Mountais. (Correspondence of Thde News and Courice.) PICKENS, June 25.--About three years ago the public-spirited citizens of Easley erected a splendid educa tional building in their town, and ever since have had an excellent in stitution. Prof. D. C Lake, a grad uate of Wofford College and aL finish (Si solholar, with Miss Simpson, of Anderson, and Miss Price, of Geor gia, as his assistants, all of whom un dierstand how to teach the young idea how to shoot, have scored splendid records as teachers in this school for the past year, and the recent com mnencement exercises have won for them golden opinions from all. Over one hundred students have answered to the roll-call fcr the last session. Three days were spent in the rig id writen examination of the pupils, which proved very satisfactory in sleed, several of the pupils averaging over 95 per cent. on all branches. After the searching examinations were over, Tuesday and Wednesday nights were devoted to programmes selected with much taste, and execnted with much skill. Tuesday night may well be called music night. The large hull was beautifully and tastefully decora ted; and every available seat was oc cupied. The nooks and corners were crowded, every spot which could hold an anxious listener was occupied. Beautiful pictures lined around the walls, and the many-tongued pianos wore a pleasant appearance. For two hours the hall resounded with the heart-moving and soul-stirring inusic which answered to the touch of snowy fingers. Many throats seemed full of singing birds, and all through the evening there was constant rivalry among the rose, crocus dahlia snow drop, pink, sunflower, lily and violet for the first place in sweetness and harmony. The exercises were de lightful, and enjoyed by all preseut. They spoke with many tongues the praises of Miss Price, who presides over the music department, as well as the excellent musical talent of Easley. On Tuesday night four essss wri - ten by four of the young ladies of 11he school, wore read. Miss Annie Gos sett prepared one on the subject, "Earth's battlefields;" illms I.illic" Clyde on "They say;" MIis Zoe Gilli land on "Errors, like straws upon the surface float," and Miss 1lance H ,inig. ens on "It rains, and the wind is nev er weary." All these es.,ays were written in exe-lent stvle, and showed much iuiis and thought. To say that one deserves nmuch praise would h)0 followved by the compil)imnent that, they' all deserve the samie. The es says weiro read by gentlemien selecte(d for the purpoTtse, id were all wvell re ceived, anud aIt thle conclusion of each, flowers found their way into fair' hands. "Hais nature or. education the r,a.i ter influence ini the fortuation of -har :teter?" was dlebated1 by Messrs. C. W. Pickens and B. IF. M\cElreath on the atiirmnativ-e and Messes. J. T. .Litlau,n andl J. E. llankin on the negative. TIhe youing (orators ntuitt, d Lten selves hndsomtely inldeud. They 0 d ed into the merits of the quIestioni, like Trojans, anid delive.red th:.ir sp)eechies in splendaid style and with muIich grace. All we*re aipplauded with handf s, feet anid flowers. The clo sinig speech was an1 address by G-en. Ellison Capers. He is a splendid speaker and1( vigorous think or. His leading idea was that every man cnnimake himself what he pleas es, and lie marshalled arguments to p)rov'e it. The speech was short, buit to the point, anmd took wvell. Gen. Ca pers is a favorite among our p)eople, and lie always draws a large crowd1. His speech closed the coimmecemenit exercises, amnd hearty Cfon gratulations were exttmlded to all who had added so) mumch to make the week successful aind happy. Sinmon Volenutinec---CoIore.'l By the dim light of the moon, in the fall of 1885, as a colored man was going the pathway through the corn lield of his coloredl neighbor, who .~ was at the time a corpse lying in hisi houso--ho dliscAovered some one pull1 ing the corn of his fdeeased friend. Upon furthor andf closer enuniiontiot, hoe saw flint thte rogue was takiung thle Biars at (dihYereut plaes anid putting ' thema in at saick, andi lhe oirderedl the| LAogue( to hlt which resulted ini a biisk alm1se, the rogue miakinig the b et t er Wpeedf, whtich waIs haistenied by a few shiot fronm a smalil gunt the wittess had1( with himt.

It was charged by the Seneca Free Press of last week, that five hundred such votes were est in Oconee county at the last county primary election. If such things were done in a congressional race, and the probabilities are they would, thou Abl:ville and Newberry counties would nominate our Congressmen by her negro vote. This woul breed dissatisfaction and possibly rebellion, and the probability would be that in dependent candidates would spring up. He lookedupon this mlove as but the entering wedge to the disintegra tion and disruption of the demhocratic party, and a possilo return of the dark days of '(8 to '70. We havo an elhmenllt in polities now that we did not have before the war and a return to the antebellum methods was danl gerous in the extreme. In organiza tion alone is there strength and safety. Dr. Fields (lid not think the prim ary plan would any more bind Pick ens comity than she is already bound, and that the only way for us to get a congressman was to put forward the best inant. He was inl favor of having the delegates elected by the primary. Mr. (i. W. Taylor was in favor of the Primary Election Plan. He had gatlwred together some. statis tics wlhiclh showed that the negroes of Abbeville and Newberry helied to hnoinuato a man for Pick ens and Oconeo to vote for, because the representation was by population, aiw(l not according to democratic votes The white vote of Abbeville is 2,590, colored 5,463; the white vote of An derson is 3,623, colored 2,878; the white vote of Newberry is 1,709, col ored 3,789; the white vote of Oconee is 3,466, colored 835; the white vote of Pickens is 2,123, colored 738. If this was true in regard to the District, how much more so in the State. The low country which had the negro vote ruled the country. The up country had not been represented on the State ticket since '76, except as to the Sectetary of State. Pickens had a worthy son whom she wished to hon or, but they refused it, and if conven tions continue, we would knock at this door in vain He was in favor of the substitute, but thought that the resolution and substitute both should be adopted. Col. R. E. Bowen said the substi tute was sufficient, and Pickens Conn ty who had as good men as any coun ty in the State, would then have a chance. He would insist on the adop tion of this substitute, by the State convention, and if it refused its adoption we had no recourse. He would warn them of the danger to the party if they continued to refuse this just deinand. Primary Elections would not help us. The substitute is right. Mr. J. W. Thomas being called to the chair, Mr. Gossett, said lhe was opplosed to the prilmahry election for the State and conlgressiinal omee's. HO thought it wouiild he to the party, what the Grecian Woiodeni Horse was to Troy. The statisties given h)v Mr. Taylor of the white and( colored voters in the D)istrict showed the dhanger we would be in, if anythinig should hap pen to disintregate the part~y. It is not to the initerests of the democratic State and conigressional oilices. It D)r.
