W.D* TRANTIIAM, Editor* j G. G. ALEXANDER, Business Manager, i CAMDEN, S. C., APRIL ::0, 1878. For the Campaign. It being our desire to increase the [ subscription of tbc Journal, and thereby extend the sphere of its useful nets, particularly during the campaign, we havo reduced the price of subscription to ONE DOLLAR from now until January 1st, 1879. We would be glad to have an active agent at every postoffice in the county. Primary Elections. The County Convention, wh'ch met in Camden on the 21th instant, wisely i referred the subject of primary elections a! L? vaIaA unon Kv tlijsm W II1U ptJUJIIC, III uc lutcu upvu ?-j V..-WW. in their clubs. We say wisely, because the strength developed both for and against the plan was such that, however the question might have been carried, dissatisfaction would in all probability J have ensued. As it is, there is no rea- j son why the further consideration and | settlement of the matter should in any j wise disturb the harmony of the party, j 1 "nder the direction of the CouDty Ex- j ecutivc Committee the several clubs, will vote upon the question on a given ; day, every voter will cast his ballot as J he chooses, and the result will be re-, ported to the Executive Committee, who ; will aggregate the entire vote for and i ogainst the system of primary elec?mn?, and make tho same known by publication. In this way, it will be determined in the fairest manner possible whether or not the plan shall be aJopted in Kershaw County. Let us now discuss the merits and demerits of the plan as they appear to us. In the first place, it is urged by those who are opposed to the measure that it will entail upon the party endless trouble. Tn reply it may be said that the interests involved in tbc coming campaign ojc of such magnitude that we should be eontent to undergo an)' amount of trouble sod annoyance to make our success sure. But there is no reason why there should he much trouble. The clubs have to hold meetings anyhow,and they need not consume much time in voting. Another objection is that, with nominations to be made by primary elections, there will be a candidate from almost every househoIJ in the county, resulting in much confusion and a failure to make nominations until after several elections shall have been he'd. This j argument may be successfully met and I refuted by the statement of the factj that nothiog will lend so effectually toj diminish the number of candidates as' primary election*. No man, whose reason j ing faculties are unlirprrod. could he prevailed upon to go before the people wtih Miri?in defeat staring hiru illthcfiCO. Nominations would probably be made at tbc first election ; certainly at the fee J oud, because a rule would likely be j adopted requiring that all except a eer-1 tain number of the highest candidates j should be dropped nfier the first elec* tion. Such a rule would be perfectly j feir for all parties, because the strongest; men would surely run ahead from tlie i first. A third objection is, that the people will not come out and rote at the pii? : hiaric?. Thus seems to be presuming1 rather muchupon the indifference nnd ap ! athy of the patriotic voters of Kershaw : county in reference to matters which con..! errn them most vitally. The elections, would probably not bo ordered until late \ in August or early in September, and i w ? by that time almost every man in the! county will have become thoroughly enlisted in favor of one or another of the several candidate# who will offer for the different offices, and would if possible J attend the meeting of his club and vote for thl men of his choice. Thus far wc have staled and answered ihc objections to the system of primary elections. Wo will now mention some of their advantages. By primary elections, every Democrat can vote for the candidate of his choice, and the strongest ticket possible will be nominated, rendeiing victory more certain at the polls on the 5th of November. Weak candidates may be and often are nominated by Conventions. From its very nature it is impossible for other than strong candidates to be nominated at a primary election. By this plan, the polidarity of the party will be preserved, and a most effectual quietus put upon all who may have independent proclivities. In other words, as an esteemed friend, who resides in the country, and who is president of one of the largest and most effective clubs in the county, says : "It builds around our party a fence, 'horse high, hull strong and pig tight', and, if there is1 in this enclosure a man Who is unwilling , to go with us, let him climb over or scratch under, got on tb^Outside, uod go by jwuie otlitfr t^5u fbt:f fff Vffutf- ( crat We .]<>! '( want him " '1 here is no nnson why any citizen should refus* J to be bound, or hemmed in. if he uieans j c to vote aright and go with the party . t anyhow. It seems that he would not I object to being bound by the strongest | ties. It is to be earnestly hoped that the , subject will receive the eonsidejation of: r every voter, and that, when the day j couh s for the clubs to voto for or against' primary elections, the ballot to bo cast ( by liim will indicatc conclusions reached , j after mature deliberation, and with a ( due regard for the interests of the, ^ country. The State Convention. The question is frequently asked, when will the State Convention meet .'I for the purpose of nominating candidates j' for State officers, and arranging plans r' for the campaign ? In our judgment.! it is highly important that the Couven. ' tion should be called to meet at as early 1 a day cs may be practicable. There is |1 a tendency in some quarters to disor- (' gaoization, and the auihoritive voice of; the Convention is uecded to check any | and everything of the kind before it i arrives at an advanced stage. The J mission of the Democratic parly lacks I much of haviiiyr been accomplished , j < and. until that shall have been done, well must cling to (he Party first, last and !< all the time. Lot us have the Con von, 1i tion as early u? possible, and then every i man will know exactly what is to beji done.

The Augusta Chrouirlr autl Coustituti'onalixt publishes a table showing the comparative average value of improved land in the various counties in that State ! in 1871 and 1877. From the figures j given it appears that since 1S61 land has diminished in vilue in fifty-six counties out of the one hundred and thirty seven into which the State is di- i vided, and has increased in value in the other eighty-one counties ?that is to' say, there has been a increase in little less than two thirds. The highest i average vsl'JO of land in 1871 was < 60 83 p*r acre in K.oyd (J >unty, the lowest 33 cents per acre In Charlton ' County.

The fact that they will thus login life under new o 'nditjona and equal with all around them sets the Philadelphia Ihtiii/ I\ ens to speculating.
