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 '

The latest intelligence fr ?m New
V?>rk qity teljs ns of the utterly deplorable
condition of Frank Moses, who!
was once Governor of South Carolina
by the grace of the Radical party. Thiman.
who at one tin.e had it in his power

lasting tnue-va that would hate

to us by a gentleman who saw him in

Co!.op.f.I? people arc said to be leaving
Mississippi in eonspjerubm timber;
for the West. Tt Is stntcd tfint uiorc
than a thousand of tliein have gone nut
of Mississippi over one railway to Kansas
tlo re to take up government lands.
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. It says
that it is not likely that a colored Congressman
will conic from Kansas for a
long lime, ( wo dare ?ay not.) Let "ihp
prize is open, tin* field is fair, arid every
colored ii.an in the State kn >ws and
ft els that a black skin is not a bar to
political promotion. That is the .secret
;.f this whole migration of c dored people."
The answer to which is that the
only States of the I'nion where the c ?K
orod people have been able to obtain
"political promotion'' are the Southern
State9. There is not a Lcgi.-latiire in
the Union which has a colored niemb. r
in i; rtcept a Southern Legislature
There is not a colore! u'cuihcr of Congress
who dors not reprtfo lit a Southern
constituency, Mississippi being
alone in having a colored United States
Senator. Whether colored men will
heifer their material condition by migrating
from Uie South to fho Wv;t or
