/"/. /JTUTUKK OF CAROLINA DEMOCRACY.
^/X.mr apprehension, the future of the
of South Carolina is assured
boyoild all poradventure, if it be but true
to itself and fear no lions in the path. The
grasp it now holds of the helm of StAtc i&
neither fitful nor fortuitous; it is but fulfilled
fact, and the result?the ' rational,
natural result, and the befitting* reward-?
of brave, active, honest work a*VM|? out of
an exigency too fearful to be unheeded and
too manifest to bo denied. Mountains of
debt, systematic fraud, entering the very
marrow of our material interests unblushing
debauchery, shaino, humiliation, poverty,
and a sea of distress on every side, drove
our pcoplo, whether ftkey would or no, to
do something for dclivcfance from the ills
uudcr which they groaned and which left
them but the scorn and pity of civilized
mankind. The situation was so plain that
the wise and the uuwisc saw alike that we
lyWk the v a 1 t^v^PWoaTl A u u w of aeSTTP
to reach deliverance and tho "Delectable
Mountains."
Tho shouts forfliauipton and Home Rule,
Tildcn and Reform, went deeper, in tho
I people's hearts than the adulation of nnv
mau of womau born. It was the substance
of better things and brighter days which
fired the hearts and quickened the pulses
of all true men, rather than the mere fitful
feeling of pcrsoual admiration or devotion,
which called men to the rescue by thousands.
The great want of the country
arose out of the people's agony, and speak
it would, and heard it would be, at any and
every cost.
To day, none the less than yesterday, in
1880, none the less thau in '70 or '78, the
i great, the overruling wants of the country
will be beard aud must be obeyed. The
qucstiou with us is, gravely and pointedly :
Shall we go on or shall we turn back ?
Shall we grow weary of well-doing because
the path is difficult ? Shall we fail for
fear when the very trials of the situation
demand patieut, unflinching courage ??
Shall we quail and suffer confusion when
the battle is just begun? Or shall we not
rather stand up like men, despite the fickle
-C A I.- I ?1 - ?'
iuimuua ui inu uuur, wncn nefarious mendacity
plays the part of injured innocence
and outraged virtue ? Shall wo not rather
recall the high courage and wisdom of
Christian in Hunyan's Pilgrim's Progress
when he espied the foul Appollyon coming
to meet hiui, "considering he had uo armor
for his back, he concluded that it would be
safer to stand" ?
God ot the faithful and true of every
climo and tongue, how do the glorious, brave
words of the iuspircd English tinker seethe
through the pulses of every man of honest
heart and tjucnchicss maukood ! Let the
Carolina Democracy find inspiration hero
and stand ! stand ! stand ! all along the line !
Let them stand though tho hills crumble
beneath our feet, and the rivers turn back
iu their course ; let us stand to a man ! If
the demon of discord, deceit .and mischief
w<TQld strike.au a blow io-the'-fece, let us
receive it iu tho face, and wot consent to
receive it otherwise. - If the weak of heart
and base of purpuse l%Mlld surrender at
the first blush of adversity, let tRcm do it!
"Wha would he a traitor sla*c,
Wha would till a coward's grave,
Let him turn and flee !"
Hut to the ever &ood and true, the devoted
men of our beloved State, who have nnvi>p
dwelt in the "Doubtful Castle," and will
not consent to abide under the guard of
the "Giaut Despair," who have nevcf forgotten
tho promptings of duty iu the darkest
hour of adversity and doubt, when others
were dismayed, let them stand silent but
strong, steady but nerved to the last fibre
of their manhood, patient but ready to
teach by precept and example that :
"Still in our prostrate land there .shall ho sonic
l'roud hearts, the shrines of Freedom's vestal
tlame ;
That trains of ill may pass unheeded, dumb,
Hut vengcnncs is behind and justice is to
VUIIJU
There arc a few practical question for
tho Democracy of the State to consider lor
themselves in their own communities and
around their own hearth-stones which brook
no delay. The first groat question is :?
Whether the Carolina Democracy is to be
a party of leaders or the parly of the people
themselves ? To our mind it is of the last
moment that the people of Carolina should
themselves rule in their own affairs, pluming
themselves on their own square manhood
and fair, honest common sense, instead
of delivering themselves to party leaders,
to be moved like pawns on the checker
board, or surrendering themselves, brains
and conscience, into the hands of fifth-rate
demagogues, wh 'se sole purpose is the nursing
of thoir own small and utterly insignificant
reputations. It is plain to us that
every oouiuiunity knows its good, honest,
frank, best informed and most trustworthy
citizens, and these arc the meu the people
with one accord should entrust with their
contidenco in sending up their delegates to
a State Convention, which should meet
untrammcled by any personal preferonocs
or foragoue conclusions whatsoever, and
with but 0110 fixed purpose before it, and
that is the best and truest interests of the
people of South Carolina, utterly repudiating
any desire or purpose to tako care
of tlio personal reputation of any man, past,
present or to come. We are sick and tired
of this sort of thing. There are a class of
politicians in the bosoui of the Carolina
Democracy who think of nothing clso, morning,
noon and uight, and it is not confined
to ono set more than another. Wo are
tired of it, and men who are unhappy and
make their neighbors and friends unhappy
iinicss mcy ooia pinco ana positiou, should
fcol at once the stern rebuke of a manly
public sentiment and should be uiade to
"tako a back scat" until I bey lonrn more
self-denial and a higher idea of the dignity
of simple citizenship.
, The best mon of the State will not be
found Buffering their nauics to be dragged
through.the oiire to reach personal preferment,
and unless the good, square men of
the Stato take this thing in their hands
now the pfcople of the State will be continually
deprived of the services of oar most
k worthy and reliable citizens. Touching
this matter, we have spoken right out as if
we were faco to faco with the people 01
South Carolina, and wo have dono so from
a plain jenss of duty. We have no acrimonious
faeliugs whatsoever to indulge ; no
person*! grievances whntcver to complain
of, and simply talk and feel as a plain citizen
ofSouth Carolina, seeking no better
position*and willing to accept ntnc less.?
Wo refuse to be trotted out to any man's
oc<Mt6ioD> as every freoman ought to do, and
set the faco of tho licgittcr like flint against
"machiue politics," como from where it
may and^crvc whom it may. Wc want
the people to know this now and to know
titn<>. There is no public man in
pPWFSui'- '^mwm^umyctfpater has
Iho sligntrja ponsenal ill feeling, and if it
had there is no man against whom it would
suffer such feelings to Weigh for a moment
against the interests of the State and people.
We mean to do even-handed justice to all
alike, without fear or favor, all along the
line. We make this remark simply because
p :rsonal preferences, and perhaps more,
have been attributed to us hastily and without
any proper ground therefor. We confide
iu the good sense and virtue of the
people of South Carolina. This wc have
ever done, and "it is hard to teach au old
dog uew tricks."?Columbia Reyistcr.
Words 1&ayely Spoken.?A correspondent
cf tire Philadelphia Times has had
a long interview with Mr. Bayard, and
sounded him upou all the salient questions
of the day. The replies of the Senator are
frank aud explicit. He makes no attempt
at evasion, but squarely delivers Jiimself
upou every issue. There is a grandeur and
broad statesmanship iu every utterance of
this worthy patriot that should command
clie respect and challenge the udmiralion of
the whole country. When the question
was pronounded to him, "What does the
South uccd ?" the following was the undaunted
reply of this truly groat uinn :
"The South does not need legislation;
the South needs sympathy and respect.
In m^ judgment what they need is a realizing
sense that they are safely and securely
within the Union, bound up in its destinies,
in which they are to share the blessings as
well as the burdens; but that they are not
to be in the Union except upou terms thor- !
oughly consistent with their self-respect.?
Everything is gaiucd by appealing to all
that is higher and better among them, and
to cease the spirit of domination and constant
expressions of self-conscious superiority,
Bending 'norydown there to sec that the
trials are conducted as they think they
ought to be, telling them they arc on trial,
and all thai sort of thing. iNo such spirit
ought to exist, and I would not treat this
Union as an experiment. I would treat it
as a fixed fact that they are iu the Union

to be part of our people and part of the
government, and not only expect them to
sustain and help it. but make that part of
the country a source of strength to the
whole. I want the people of the South to
feel that they are respected and an essential
portion of this Union and they cannot bo
anything else. Now, in order to do that,
we must make their position iu tho Union
one of honor in the first place, and then
if they fall away from that it must be their
own disgrace; but tho honorable recognition
must precede the other, and that they
have not hud yet at the hands of the Republican
party. The people of the Northern
States, whoso representatives want to
make a solid North, if they are wise, must
sec that the South must be to them ouc of
two things?a Bource of weakness or a source
of strength; but their present course and
their present feeling is calculated to make
the South a second Ireland."

Two White Roys and a Neoiio Roasted
Alive in a Cotton Pukss.?Ellenton,
November 14.?Mr. L. A. Ashley, who
resides about seven miles from Ellenton,
just across the Rurnwcll Uountv line, lost
by liro ou yesterday his steam saw mill, jurist
mill and gin. Tho gin alone was running
at the time, and it is supposed that a match
iu the cotton was the cause of tho conflagration.
The press for baling the cotton
was situated in the lint room. At the timo
the fire occurred Tcague and Jesse Owens,
two whito boys about 14 nnd 10 years of
ago, employed by Mr. Ashley, were iu the
press, and a young negro man named Isaiah
was working in tho liut room. In a minute
after the cry of tiro was raised the parties
iu the liut room found themselves envelope!

cut off. The poor boys iu the press could
not get out, us the doors of the press bo*
fastened from the outside.
Mr. Ashley and Mr. J. M. Darlington
with others who were in tho gin house at
the time the fire bruke out rushed to the
rescue of the unfortunates, who wcro now
in a deu of tiro. With axes they soon burst
through the walls of the houso and knocked
down the doors of the press, when they
dragged out tho half-dead boy#aud negro,

A physician was summoned and did all in

Operators, ami its Certain Profit.
We paid a burricd visit to Westminste
Oconee County, on- the Air Line Koad,
few day? ago, to see the "New Process Yai
Mill," known as tho "Clcmcut Attachment
for spinning yarn froui aceil cotton. \\
had heard and read so much about th
wonderful invention that we had a grc
curiosity to' see it, and we were well pai
for our trip. Mr. J. V. Stribling, the loa
ingspirfUof this enterprise, was dot at ho n
being absent attending' the Georgia Stn
Fair, but his brother, Mr. W. J. Stri
bling, who is "a host within himself,
took charge of us and drove us out to tl
factory, and lie and the superintendent,
young man "going on 20 years" of ng
showed us around and explained to us tl
machinery and its practical workings vei
satisfactorily. ; -
The factory is situated on a branch
Chocsto? Creek, two miles from Westmin
tcr, in Oconee County, ou the Air lii
Railroad. It is a plain, cheap buildin
just such as tho ordinary flour and gri
mills through the country, and containc
the following mach'ucry : One eottc
cleaner, one Clement attachment, one <!
iucli Welluian top flat card, one four deli'
ery Danforth drawiug frame, one 12 b>l
bin Danforth speeder, two Danforth spii
ning frames, 132 spindles, one bunch prcs
and one bale press. Most of it is old an
second-hand machinery, and cost 82,50'
Tho building and other improvements cot
81,200 ; uiaking the total investment, 8!3
700. The capacity of tho factory is on!
! 150,000 pounds of seed cotton. They en
ploy the superintendent, the lad "going c
twenty years," seven girls and ono ho_
with tho following results for twcli
months:

6,000 pound* waste 145 (
6,000 bushels cotton seed 450 (

Net profit $1,965 I
This factory is oerncd by four farmer
and is operated on a small stream affordin
only about six-horse power, Uyiocrtaain
the power and machinery to greater capa
ity of course the expense would be reduce
and the profits increased.
The ' Clement Attachment" is simp
attaching the principle of the ordinary co
ton-gin to the carding machine in such
way
that the liut cotton, as soon as sop
rated from the seed, passes directly on ll
cards and comes out in the shape of slivi
The rest of the process is the same, and tl
machinery the same as in any other factor
aud there is no reason why just as fit
thread may not be spun by a factory of th
kind with fine machinery of the latest it
provcineuts as can be spun in any factor
We brought some of the sliver aud tl
' thread home with us that shows for itself.
The great saving by the ' Clement A
tachnicnt" is in doing away with the expem
of gins, gin-houses, presses, Ac. The sec
I cotton, just as it comes from the field,
put right into the hopper of a cotton cleam
and passes right on into the attachmcn
i aud then right on the cards as stated abov<

dispensing with lint rooms it decreases tl
risk of fires. It saves the expense of ha
giug, ties, &c. It saves the expense
handling the cotton by speculators and pa
ing freights, storage, &c. It would gi'
employment to labor at borne. It will ion
capitalists to bring factories to the cottc
fields, and, what is better than all, the Ya
kees can't cheat us out of it, for it can't 1
utilized at the North, as they have no set
cotton. We arc delighted with it, at
lirmly believe that it will revolutionize tl
whole cotton business and enable the Soul
to hold thfl hal:inr>f> r>P nnwor in tiomllw
the cotton crop. We hope at no distai
day to see theso New Process Yarn Mil

will start the South upon a new departu

a a factory. It would be better for me and

Tiik Solid South.?"Why the South
)0 is Solid" is a question discussed editorially
X) by the New York Sun, iudcpendcut, which,
? in its issue of Thursday, says: "The Southern
States havo been kept united politically
by the aggressive course, the gross iujustice,
and the wilful misrepresentation of the
^ Republican managers, whose schcmo is to
_ solidify the North by exciting sectional
\r\ -1 * I ? ' 1 *
r\i JIIUJUUIV-U, UUU U1UH prolong llicir pOSSCbiUUU
? of power. It is a game they are playing
w aud nothing but a game."
9) T lerc is uiuch of truth iD this, but tho
S Sun's argument is at fault when it goes on
!g to say : "Take away this pressure and
c- allow natural causes to operate in their own
d way, and it would be cutircly beyond the
power of the Democracy to hold the South
ly together."
t- That depends. The South became solid
a not only by reason of the abuse which has
a- been heaped upon it, but on account of its
*c general disgust with Republican methods.
;r- If that party were at onec to cease tillifyic
ing the South and mend its own ways, thcro
y, might be good reason to look for a break
i? in the solid South, but neither of these
is changes is to be expected. When the Rcpublican
party ceases to abuse the South it
y- will lose its grip on the North ; when Stic
mends its ways aud begins to practice equity
and to be honest, it will cease to be tho
t* Republican party ; its present leaders will'
?? desert it and there will be such an infusion'
d of new material into it as to change its geni<i
eral composition. Under existing eondicr
tions a change in its policy is not to bo
thought of, lor these reasons, as the Sun
?? puts it : "The Republican organization
ol has been kept alive since its true mission.
re was ended by the use of the public patronage
and by a sectional crusade against tho
of South. Its leaders are now struggling
Id with desperate energy to hold on to tho
ly treasury and to the offices four years lunger.
They will not scruple to employ any means,
K- however violent, corrupt or dangerous, to.
of retain this power. And they hare tho
y* whole machinery of the government to op.
erate with, a creature of their own in the
CJ White House, ready to obey orders, and
>? John Sherman to manipulate the returns,
w'th the experience of 1S7G to guide hitnj"
>c They will, it is true, resort to any device,.
>d after the election, if it is against theui, to
'd nullify the verdict of the people, as they
10 did iu 1877, but their main hold for carry' h
ing the election will be the sectional issue.
JS It has served them a most excellent purposo
this fall and they will not abandon it?cspccially
since it is the only issue they have,
d- If they should carry the country on it next
year, it will b : more violently rung into
tc the people with each succeeding election
r'J than it ever has been before, and with the
increasing violence of the ery will com*
increased solidity to the South. The only
remedy for it, the only way to stop it. is
Democratic ascendancy iu the nation. Tho
st- people will then, under a truly beneficent
