From eight t to twelve hundred persons were pres- j r-nr the most perfect order was pre- t served by a corps of polite and efficient .marshals, the speaking was of the most stirring character, the enthusiasm was boundless, and the dinner, which is ah 1 < I ways au important feature on such occasions, was rich, varied and abcudant. ' Arriving on the ground about eleven'; o'clock, the immense throng of persons that met our view satisfied us that thongh there v'a' to bo speaking, such < was unnecessary, for tho people of eastern Kershaw wc *c already aroused and determined to win on the 5th of November at all hazards. I The meeting, which was held in the J' church, was called to order by I. F. Holland, Esq., President of Oakland' Club, on luotion of'whom B. M.

The next irreat idea that presents itself is, how is Mir redemption to be accomplished? In the firet place 1 will say it is to be lone by (as we all know) the Democratic party ; and if we will all move on in rbis grand and greas cause, just in the way that we know to bo right, we the Democracy of our great but small lounty of Kershaw, will witness the redemption of our party on the 5th day of November next. We must all move on as one great mind, yet, at the same time, spread out into 1,800 or 2, DUO active agent*, all working to accomplish the one glorious end- "Now to the point." I venture the assertion that if lb* Democratic party (and you all know that I am one of them) continue to pursue the cause that is now being agitated in "this" and 'that" locality, by this and that would-bc leader, that we will meet with a successful defeat. "The rich folks party," "The poor man's party," "Lawyers party," "The farmer's party," Ac., Ac. In the the name of cominou reason let us all do away with such ideas, if we do not, we are doomed. This spirit ot arraying or gene rat ivy a feeling of antagonism ol our class (as they call it,) against another is not what should be the great I ruliog principle of our Democracy We | arc all poor, and wo are all tillers of the soil in Kershaw County. We know this iR an agricultural district. Every woman aud mau that can has their 'patch,' It is held, his farm or plantation, and those that do not, would to-day be proud to be able, in purse and physique, to drive the plough and the hoe. Wheu we meet our neighbor, it mat ter> not nhere-at the Clubs, at Cauiden, at the Court House, in the law office, in the Slate House, or even at church; aud it makes no difference what that man's vocation is. the first enquiry (after the usual salutations aic exchanged) is how is your crop ? and how are the crops in your neighborhood ? What does this tell ? The answer comes that the tilling of the soil is the highest j earthly consideration of us nil in this lovely laud of the South. Now, away wifti vnur dnznn different kinds of tick J""- ? ets to bo suggested lo our convention that is to meet on the 29th inst. All this kind of spirit is, and'will be, equally as hurtfnl to the Democracy a.s that of encouraging independent candidates, ft should not matter from what class you select your Senator or members to the lower bouse, so they are true Democrats, and have the full measure of ibility to carry out the great duties as the agents of the peoplo. And if they ire honest they will be the true expoicnts of their creative elements to their | position. If not, they will be demagogues. Wisdom speaks to us all not o be divided. Wo are strong enough f we will move together. Drive from >ur hearts the idea of any difference beween a rural and an nrban population, [t is not philosophy. If we are true we ?re all Democrats. Let us eradicate roui our bosoms self agrandizomcnt; ind "throw down ambition ; by it fell :he angels. How can man in his weak fiumanity be sustained by it." August 9,1878. J. A. G. From iberty Hill. . Mr. Editor I write to givo you i brief account ot the meeting of the Democratic club at this placo held this afternoon. Mr. F. II. Wardlaw was called upon to give an account of the Convention, held in Camden on the 25th of July. Fie stated that it was decidedly the most satisfactory, harmonious and pleasant convention that he had ever had the pleasure of att. nding. Mr. L. G. Thompson was then called upon to give an account of the proceedings of I the Congressional Convention hold in Columbia, to which lie was a delegate. Fie gave a very satisfactory account of tho congressional as well as of the State Convention, aud in extended remarks in formed ns how the brave old chief Wade Hampton, was unanimously renominated to fill the Gubernatorial chair of South Carolina for two years more, and how in burning words of eloquence Hampton urged upon the people the necessity of sending good aud worthy men to represent us in tho Senate and Legislature. Mr. Thompson insisted upon this club sefiding delegates to the next convention who would look to our interest and who would vote for men who are worthy of our trust and confidence. It was unauimously resolved that Col. L. J. Patterson was the choice of Liberty 11 ill Democratic Club for the position of Senator. We take pleasure in bringing this grand old farmer and patriot before the people of Kershaw County, and feel confident that if elected, he will be the "right man in the right place." It is useless for me to say more about him, for he is well known throughout the County aud State, and worthy of any honor that could be stowed upon him. I ant satisfied that, if nominated, he will carry u.ore colored votes than any man in the county. The following delegates were elected to represent us iu the Convention. to be held on the 29th inst. J. G. Richards, W. K. Thompson and. L. C. Thompson. Capt. W. L- Del'ass was prosent and being called upon for an address, made sorno very instruC've ?nd appropriate remarks. Marcellus Strtilh a prominent colored democrat who has always voted the democratic ticket delivered a very interesting address. IIo said that the Republican party was like a rail road train, and that tho conductor and engineer ha l uow forsaken her, and had left the fireman and brake men to run tho machine, and he thought by this winter that they would either have a collision or a smash up, or a little of both. The crops iu this section are nf,w suffering very much from tho want of rain, and I fear are very materially injured The Social Club will give thair dramatic entertainments on the nights of the 22nd and 23rd insts, the advertisement of which is already in the JourNMi. Messrs L J. Patterson and L. C. Thompson will leave on Monday for Spartunburg to attend the meeting of tho State Agricultural Society. Yours kc. Democrat " Liberty Ilill, August 10th. 1878. From BuffaloDear Journal : 1 will give you n. few dots from our part of the coun ty. The crops, where thev have been properly worked, are tolerably good, though the recent drought hurt almost everything and everybody. We have lately bean visited by one of the heaviest rains that ever fell in these parts. The discharges of electricity were terrific, and the rain fell in torrents, where I was, from 7 o'clock in the evening until 10 o'clock. Besides the damage done to crops &c., nearly all of the mills were carried away. The following owners of mills, gins or threshers had thejmisfortunc to lose their dams, and in some instances their houses, viz: J. M. Stroud. Timothy Stroud, Mr J. Mary So well, Capt. James Gardner, Thomas Bird and li. Gardner. In addition to these, the "Neal Mill" on Buffalo was also badly damaged. Mr. It. I Gardner's was perhaps the greatest wreck. lie lost his dam, mill, gin house and everything. I hear that roekc were washed from where his mill stood and carried on a raft that winM u'.'irrli 30.000 pounds a hundred yards or more. It is estimated that the water was thirty feet deep at the mill house. I passed through Mr. J. M. Kirkley's low ground corn on Little Lyncnc*' freok the other day. Ii ' is beautiful. Acre <*fter aero of a: 1 fine corn as was ever soon in this I country, and it all cultivated as nicclv as a garden, is as beautiful a sight as one cares to bcliold in these 1 times of general depression. Mr. Kirkley is our model planter in Buf" ' falo township. lie says his corn | wa<j never better, and tnat his cotton , is also well up to the mark.

Aug. 9th, 1878. , The Phosphate Interest. I [From the Columbia Register.] ' Wc made mention yesterday of the j sittings of tho Court of claims and spoke with bated breath of the bonded debt of the State and of the good faith of 1 our ptople in connection therewith. ( To-day .we refer to another topic which 1 also involves good faith and an honest r. recognition of right and duty. The weather js hot?the blood is up?and. a in certain localities, judging from what a comesto us in theCharleston Xeies and ! Courier, there is a small tempest at ccr- 1 tain points along the coast. Tho best 1 advice that we can give to the contest- [ ants is to keep cool. There aro too many groat interests before our poople a to waste so much good ammunition upon 8 unimportant issues. The phosphate c question is an important one itself, but ; it is not a matter to be forced into poli- ! tics. The Register, several months ago, ! when the phosphate subject was an open 1 one, had little to say on cither side and ! nothing to say in favor of any particu- 1 lar local interest. The little we did say f was rather in favor of what were known 1 as general rights in opposition to special 1 privileges. The truth was. we knew a very little of tho subject, and in our J want of information we were not dis- ' posed to give advice, or venture vague opinions. We very soon discover the ' propriety of the courso we pursue ; and f it would be well if others, equally in- c formed, could profit by our experience. The last Legislature was called upon at s an early period, to act in this matter. 1 They acted in the interest of the State, " and not in the interest of private indi- 1 viduals or particular companies ; and let us say here that never, within our view, 1 did a public body dealing with any 1 measure beroro it seem ;. desirous to J do what was proper, pruden1 d politic. ' Tho members, with great" .^sponsibilitics ^ resting upon them as to other and much ' more important concerns, came together without the least knowledgo of the phosphate deposits iu the tide waters of tho State. Petitions were presented at the . summer session of 1877 asking a grant of franchise to dig and mine in these waters. The Legislature, in our judgment, wisely postponed any action upon * these applications and passed a general resolution in effect directing the whole subject involving tho lavt. the facts the grants heretofore made, and the status of "Id companies and the property of new <:rants should be ref< rred to ti e Attorn^ General of the State to examiue c into the entire matter, from the egg to s the apple, and report to tho Legislature 0 ut its next ensuing session in December, t Could anything be more prudent or i raoro considerate ? Could anything be mora becoming in a legislative body, j composed, not of rogues and swindlers, t] but of high-minded gentlemen, acting a in the interest of the State and seeking I light upon a subject of which they were not informed? Oetiercl Conner, in oho* J1 dience to the resolution, was engaged t for four months in the concientious t discharge of this duty. He not only h examined witnesses, but he procured 11 other evidence upon every conceiva- 1 bio point embraced witbiu the scope of tbo resolution. This was supple* mentcd by a report to the Legislature, I which for industry, painstaking, clear- [J ness of statement, logical sequence and legal acumou, has never been surpassed i by any paper submitted to that body, r This report is a monument of fidelity, 0 discretion, and sound senBc and judi- ? cial fairness. It satisfied the public ( and it improssen the Legislature. We c ut nnon trv til* funic Qniinrl ! J ICIUIU ??V V/IIVU w tnu iuvio UUU OUUI4U * reasoning of the report. Tho Legislo- 1 lure, acting still from the highest sense 11 of public duty, referred General Conner's ' report ta a committee from the Senate j and another from tho House. These two s committee# acting independently, but ? occasionally sitting together, entered ( igain into a laborious investigation of the whole subject. Witnesses were examined Jjcfore them duy after day and night after njght from the first days J after the recess until tho last days of the session. This investigation was not in the interest of any company nor of any individual, hut the ques- ' , tion discussed was: What, is the i true interest of tho State ? What her truo policy in dealing with this new and valuable sourec'of revenue ? ,lblc arguments were heard by their requests from t legal and from politico-economical standpoints, various views were presented and numerous propositions wero submitted. At last the committees from both bouses almost unanimously agreed upon what 1 is now tho law, and what in generally | known as Mr. Simouton's bill. If iu ! the general scheme so proposed there 1 j was anything looking to individual in1 forests at the sacrifice of the public good, ir does nut app-ur upon the face of the *ct ; nor can gruvc a charge ho justly made n^uiti.^i the I ightniodcd n.id honorable ^ 4i * I man wit" uiovcd t !? ? ict, < or aguirist those who composed these 1 committees. That there unght have heen and probably was some (iiseontent as to the partition of the territory atnong those asking grants from tho legislature, we I can readily suppose ; but, under like circumstances, what scheme or what plan could have given universal satisfaction ? There must in the natuio of things always ire gome disappointment, and that there should be some grumbling, some bard thought, and even some hard word9, was ouly to bo expected. The ' grumblers themselves would probably have wrote a much mote tineqnl parti* tiou ; and it is from these in tho main that the noise and dissatisfaction now come. They do not come from the people. But all this is a matter of very small importance to the State. Long as she receives her taxes from the new industry in the shape of the royalty sxactcd, her interests are secure. But behind all this the real question in ( which she is interested is the question ; )f good faith. i With the best lights before them, the < epresentatives of the State, her trusted ' icrvants, have passed, the act which is iow law. What does the dragging of , his law before the people mean ? Does I t mean that what has been done at the 1 ;ost of so much time, so much labor j ind so much consideration shall now be ' jndone ? Does it mean that there is ? tothing in the good nauie and the good ! 'aith of the State ? These things are ar more valuable to her aud her people 1 n the present and in the future than j ">ho8phate beds and phosphate royalties, f Let the State as she again unfurls the o janncr of reform write in broad letters ? ipon its folds, ycod frith. The want * if it will sap the manhood and destroy he public, aye, and the private, virtue t if any people. To cover a glaring vio- n ation of good faith those who are now c igitating this phosphate question and fl ire now seeking to open it anew resort c o tho old cry of monopoly. Wherein ( s that act of the Legislature obnoxious t o this grave charge ? It ha9 incorpo- n ated at least a dozen companies and ' las opened the door wide for any and -j ill persons who may choose to come in t is corporators. And wherein are theso i lompanies any more of monopolies than 1 ho grant of a ferry franchise ? or the 'f ncorporation of a bank issue ? or the ocorporation of a railway company ? or r n fact, the grant of any special powers s o any company or association, organ- zed for its own advantage it is true, N >ut at the same time working in the t nterest of the people at laxge ? The ? ihosphate question is interesting to us is journalists, and, iu our judgment, to he people of the State, only in the foluwing particulars: 1. That this new industry should bs ostered and developed co the greatest id vantage to the State as a means of i iringiug capital into her limits. 2. That the taxes due to her in the r hape of royalty shall be punctually J )nid; and to secore this the more re- ?' ponsible the parties tho larger and r nore certain will be this revenue. 3. Hut above ali, let the good faith of \ ho State be kept untarnished; and in his, as in all else that she undertakes, ct her icord be better than her bond; et her namo stand hereafter as it has itood heretofore, as a synonym for lonor. t Camden Democratic Club. 1 i A meeting of Gamden Democratic l ]lub will be held on Tuosday evening. 1 I- ?
