' Grand Democratic Rally. c Wcare requested to announce that there a will be a Grand Democratic Rally at DuRose's Mill on Friday the 11th, li of Septembor. beginning at 10 o'clock F a. uj. All of the Democratic clubs of v Eastern Kei'shaw are expected to par- ^ ticipate, and everybody of both parties s are cordially invited to he present, and 1 pee and hear our candidates ami oinor " distinguished speakers. l' d Too Much Confidence. je Only an imprudent general ever un- \ dorrates'the strength'of his adversary, or ft places too high an estimate upou his |f own. A wise commander is always on h the alert, and checkmates every movement that is made against him by being n, prepared for it. The history of JoIid t Pope, whose headquarters were in the saddle, and who never saw anything of the "rebels" but their backs, and of Stonawall Jackson, who husbanded his resources, and torcsaw and met every Sl' emergency, kindly illustrates the (ruth w of what we have asserted. And what is t0 true in this regard in war is also true a . ?i, in politics. Too much commence is " often as detrimental in its effects as not ,r enough confidence. The letter tends ':1 to destroy hope and to create drspon- n) dcncy; the former too frequently begets indifference and apathy. The one Ul courts defeat; the other makes failure cr more than possible. ,r And may it not bo truly said that the 21 Democrats of Kershaw county have ^ just now an overweening confidence in . al regard to the manner in which the - - ? ?mi . * ti tl campaign wui icruuuaiuii? accuia . 15 that such is the case. Ifso, it should ~ certainly be a greater cause of alarm than any power the Radicals can exert. ,c m Our people arc not bestiring themselves as the issues involved in the campaign require that they should. They, take too much for granted, if they think ai that all thev have to do to crush the tl Radical party is to go to the polls and vote. Something more must he done. That party is neither doad nor asleep Jt is still powerful and wide awake, and ready to make the most of whatever wc may place in its way. We deceive ourselves, if wc suppose for an iustant that those who have always opposed us ^ dn not mean to contest every inch of (j ground with us. Work ?unremitting, patient, determined, enthusiastic work is the thing that will savo us. Wo Ci like to see manifestations of confidence. ^ ]5ut. instead of such as is productive of a blighting indolence, we want that which is aecomnanie 1 bv a living deter* ( ruination to succeed at all hazards. In 0 r t he tcr.sc language of Judge Mackey, we want and must liavo a ''trash moving, gully washing, stream swelling and ii dam breaking" enthusiasm. With this h nir triumph will be placed beyond all 'J doubt. ? o The County Democratic Executive e Committo will meet to-morrow. Steps tl will be taken to make the campaign si lively from now until after the contest t . ' lUATmtm I BMJWMMWMBMaWWg s over.

The quietness of our little town was otnowhat stirred last week when the ?ews was spread that the South Caroina Railroad would no longer receive ts own bilhun payment of freight, or n any other way. This was a literal lisownino of the child by its parent, ind loud and deep were the iinprccaions that went up from many of the ips (T onr merchants. As a chronicler f events, however, it is our plensinp luty to state this week (authoritatively) diat the Treasurer of the "Green Gate ?ccial and Financial Party" will redeem ^ach and every dollar, in sirnon pure ^reen backs presented to him between this and election dav.
