THE RED SHIRT MOVEMENT. Col. U. R. Brooks Write* About Hi*tory of Organization In 1876. The following communication addressed to the Columbia State, appeared in that paper last Sunday: In the issue of the State of the 18th inst., I notice an article taken from the Yorkville Enquirer, which purports to give a correct history of the Red Shirt movement in this state in 1876, when the "unterrifled Democracy," under the lead of Gens. Gary, Butler and others, nominated Gen. Hampton for governor against Chamberlain. who was in the fall of that year, by means of a well-organized campaign formulated by Gen. Gary, elected governor by a good majority and forever restored wnite supremacy to the state. The account which the Yorkvllle Enquirer gives of this movement which wrested South Carolina from negro carpetbag scalawag rule and restored her to the loving care of her native white citizenship, is not altogether true to the facts. At the first inception of the movement, it is undeniably true that there was more or less lukewarmness, especially in those counties south of Columbia. Many of the Democratic leaders in those counties seemed disposed to let what they considered well enough alone, and at one time, before the Red Shirt movement took definite shape, there was a disposition on the part of some to make Chamberlain the nominee of the Democratic party. Against this straightout Democrats, like Mart Gary, bitterly protested. They felt that the time had come for a straight out Democratic ticket to be put in tne field. It was Gen. Gary who suggested that Wade Hampton was the most available man to lead in the fight for white supremacy. Gen. Butler had been suggested, the purpose being to nominate him on the assembling of the Democratic nominating convention, but, on Gen. Gary's representations, Butler withdrew in favor of Hampton and himself made the speech nominating Hampton, August 14, 1876. From that time on there was none of the lukewarmness which The Enquirer says existed. Simultaneously with the enthusiasm that immediately began to prevail in most sections of the state, the "unterrifled Democracy" commenced to array itself in the blood-red uniform that characterized it for several years thereafter. In a speech which I made at Spartanburg on August 17, 1910, and which appeared in the State of that month and year. I made the following statement bearing on the history of the Red Shirt campaign of 1876: "An interesting contribution to the history of the state is the 'Plan of Campaign of 1876,' printed below, throwing light on the 'Red Shirt' movement of the day: " 'This nlan of campaign was form ulated by Gen. M. W. Gary and was adopted by the Democratic executive committee of Edgefield county, composed of Gen. Gary, as county chairman. Hon. Geo. D. Tillman, Capt. * Scott Allen, Dr. H. A. Shaw, Capt. J. P. Blackwell and others. " 'It is in the handwriting of Gen. Gary and N. L. Griffin, his secretary. That portion having reference to the , red shirt is in the handwriting of Gen. Gary. " 'This was the first official recognition of the red shirt by the organized Democracy as the uniform of the campaign and settles the vexed question as to whom the credit is due. " 'The plan of campaign adopted by the Democratic party in Edgefield was the first in the state, and copies upon request were sent to every Democratic county chairman in South Carolina. " 'The first opportunity for wearing the red shirt as the uniform of the organized Democracy was at Edgefield on the 12th of August, when Gov. Chamberlain. Judges Mackey and Smalls were present to address the Radicals. The speakers on the Democratic side were Gen. Gary, Gen. J Butler, and John C. Sheppard, afterwards governor of this state. Chamberlain and his party next spoke at Newberry, where they were met by Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, afterwards congressman, Gen. Y. J. Pope, afterwards chief justice, and Col. J. N. Lipscomb, afterwards secretary of state. " 'Prom Newberry Chamberlain and U,~ ooma fA A hhovll )p where 1110 tiUnit VV n?r?rv??V| they were routed by Col. J. S. Cothran. county chairman, Gen. Samuel McGowan and Col. D. Wyatt Aiken. This is the last place where Chamberlain and his party spoke In the campaign of 1876.' " Notwithstanding what the Yorkville Enquirer says, I see not the least reason for receding one lota from the position I took in that speech. On the contrary, the more I study the history of that movement, and the more I examine all the evidence relating to It, the more I am convinced of the correctness of my statement. The inception of the whole Red Shirt movement. that finally led to the redemption of the state, had its orign in the brain of one man, and that man was Gen. Gary- It was he who wrote the 26th resolution in the plan of campaign, which the Democratic executive committee of Edgefield county, of which Gen. Gary was chairman, unanimously adopted. This resolution reads as follows: "Every club must be uniformed in a red shirt, and they must be sure and wear it on all public meetings, and particularly on the day of election." This resolution is in the handwriting of Gen. Gary, and the original plan of campaign is in possession of the Gary family. The plan of campaign, as set forth in the above resolution, was adopted before the meeting at Edgefield, on the 12th of August, 1876, as that was the first opportunity the clubs had of wearing the red shirts as the uniform of the Democratic party, after the adoption of the plan of campaign, which was the first in the state during that year. Such. then, was the first official recognition of the red shirt by the organized Democracy as the uniform of the campaign, and settles the vexed finoetiAn as tr? whom the credit is due. As I stated In my Spartanburg speech, copies of the plan of a campaign adopted by the Edgefield Democrats were, on request, sent to tvery Democratic county chairman In South Carolina. The red shirt as a uniform was not worn anywhere by the Democracy before the meeting at Edgefield on August 12, 1876, when it was first used, having been before that meeting officially recognized by the Democratic party of Edgefield as its uniform. The Democratic party in other counties officially recognized and adopted it, and soon at every campaign meeting throughout the state the red shirted Democracy was strongly in evidence. Eighteen hundred and seventy-six may with propriety be called the year of the revolution of the Red Shirts, who rescued a state from villainy and corruption and started her in the way of good government, peace, prosperity and happiness. U. R. Brooks. Columbia, August 19, 1911. ? The Carolina Special, the Southern railway's flyer between Charleston and Cincinnati, was wrecked last Sunday afternoon at Suevllle, 24 miles north of Columbia, by a plunge into a burning trestle. The train was being pulled by two engines, both of which went down into the chasm. Engineer D. G. McAlister saw the danger in time to apply his emergency brakes and jump with his fireman, but was not able to warn the crew of the fol lowing engine. Engineer oreen or tne second engine escaped without serious injury: but his fireman, Luther W. Bennett, of Columbia, was killed. The baggage car stopped suspended on the brink of the fatal chasm and caught fire: but the flames were extinguished through the strenuous efforts of the erew, assisted by the passengers.
