, 1 Camden, s. a. ocr. 30, m. TUESDAY, XOVEMliEK 4Til. Remember the day, ami don't forget to' lurn out und support the Regular Detr.o-j era tie nominees. A solemn responsibility rests upon every Democrat in Kershaw t ounty. I We do not pretend to judge the eonscience of any man, nor would we be intolerant. but in the light of the contest in Svuth Carolina to-dav. caused by tli action of a few of her sons, several of whom have rendered distinguished services In the Stale, and all of t hem men of character, yet act iug inn way we cannot approve, we w ll be in a veiy bad fix unless every Regular Democrat turns out and does nis duty. It is n<> time for half way ground or equivocal attiludc. The decision insist be nmda between the llaskcll movement ami the Regular Democratic party. It is not Haskell or Tillman, but the preservation of the unity of the parv, anil personal preferences between the two must be sunk out of sight. We have no disposition to malign or extol either candidate. The contest is not for men, but the maintenance of white supremacy in South Carolina. Now. what do we menu by white supremacy? It is the control of the State by the while people, organized under the name of the Democratic party, and so organized for combined action, and tacause necessity demands it. When through its agency c State Convention speaks, then every Democrat has been in the liAbit of subordinating bis individual judgment to that of the majority. It is a purely voluntary organization, consistingof clnbs in the counties and governed by a State party constitution and rules adopted by the respective County organizations. Delegates to a State Convention represent tbeseCounly clubs in Convention h.'sembled. and this Convention nominates a State ticket, while primary elections in the Counties determine who arc County nominees. This organization consists almost - - exclusively of whites, for the reason that but few* negroes have ever expressed a wil lingiicss or dt-siro to join the clubs. Since 1S7G this organization hits controlled South Caroliun, although it was not perfected until 187c?. Thus organized chiefly cf white men, its caidinal principle is that they have the right end ought to control the Slate, because of their Mipetior intelligence ano owning tighty percent, of the property of State. Standing 0:1 the oilier side is the negro nice of the State. between the two there is a gulf so broad and divergencies so great that every effort made to bridge it over on a c< inmon platform of afiilialion and mutual interest has proven futile and abortive. 'I he registration and eight box laws have decreased if net overcome the negro majority, and rendered the superior intelligence of the white matt a prime factor in elections. This white supremacy is the instinct of race, the development cf necessity, and ;l-e guardian of the best interests of the State, lake it away or mongrelize ii and its efficiency and vigor are destroyed. and the dangers of a demoializcd political condition will become, in the near future, a reality. The r.cgro has bowed to it, because used to it, and hnspiosjicred under it in a way he never could have done if kept stirred up politically, as he was in the dark /jays anterior to 137(5. White supremacy I neither threatens his liberty, impairs his rights, weakens his protection under the 1 X. law, or retards Iris material progress, n simply says to him, the white people intend to govern the State in your interest as well as their own, and until yoa show a higher development of responsibility ar.d fitness for government, do not intend to let down tlie bars so as to inn the possible risk of Africanizing or turning over the State once more to the rule of your race, to be lead And cantrolled, by any j>ossibility. as you once were. A burnt child dreads the fire, and the awful political experience of this Stale for eight long weary years of rapine, plundei Anil demoralization, stand as a menace written in ineffaceable letters on the lent eh of the door osu of our political structure. And any movement which, bvany possibili.y, make the negro a factor, will not meet with the support of nine-tenths of the white men of this Slate. It is a fearful mistake, and wc deplore the movement which de pends cn his votes chicliv for success, for whelhci they seek his vote or net. it is plain thai the overwhelming majority of whites will support iho Regular ticket. This is the issue, however, and the Democratic | arty must rac-t it. Turn out that, fellowat i: t s, ai.it i/et r/i ur i.?ojliLf-r to ih> 30. I ADVICE TO COLORED PEOPLE. ft We know ml vice Is easy to give, and is a V commodity so often indulged in as to lostits force in great measure, and to give it is one tiling, to take it uno'.her, Cut from a r'ineere desire lor the welfare of the colored jicojile we void lire lo give tlsem a f.-w words of it. unsought yet sincere. It is t lis. I.ci this white man contest alone. Vou have mailing to gain by it. and perchunee may in the cmi he the sufferers. Vou have fur twelve yours now kept out of politics, and Leer, none the worse for it,-and go jd feeling has sprung up between the races. In days past yen were hauled and pulled ubout by white Republicans and lenders of --i__ ,...,1 ;r , ,.nn f0 n vol!r own c um, nuu .. ^.v... , -ingle e<1 vantage you d?'riv<Vl from your ttL-tivity then in politics, we have failesl to sec it, ai:d we know you have failed to do so you:selves. If your lenders should tell you the white people are divided and now is your time, they arejlfccsiving you. The whiles ' ill again unite, r.:td especially if they see you arc solid om-e more or endca-1 ror in get control, and if a part of them should remain separated politically from the others, lluy v.*i 11 not have such numbcis as to overcome the power ami united for i of ihe majority of whiles. So, hetween tin upjH r and ::etia r mill-stone you would he in a tad fix. What you mid is to letter your fortunes, educate your child!en. Jive in peace, and get along comfortably in the world. Von itre getting along r."w with your wLi'e neigld'crs ve:y we!;, and what tome is there in again putting yourselves jn the position of stirring up b id feeling? The white man is coin;! to rule tiie State, and, as your friend, can do more for you than if you i?rovolce Lin: by entering polities once more lb. sides. nine-tenths of \ou stand no chance of an olTica which you know you are not f:i to till. This is your misfortune, but neve Unless you know i' is true. You are in "re interested in good government. low taxes and additional school facilities, than i'.i mixing up in polities. No g ?od esm iMiuc to you in this m ntivt. and tiie advice of a friend is to have nothing to do with it. Keep out of the muddle. Many of your own most, level headed people arc giving this advice. Act on it. tut: < onukessioxal election. When wo expect fellow Democrats to iurn out at the election on Tuesday, we mean of course tiny must vote at the Congressisnal us well as the Stato box This j former imist'not be lost siglit of in the excitement of the fstate contest. It is of J parnmouut importance thai Hemphill be returned to congress, ami on miss i|ii?-?in?u there should be no difference of o[?ini?>i> among the white ir.cn of the Fifth District. They should all wish to see tins distinguished son of Carolina again fill his seal in the f)2nd Oongress. He has served the District ably and faithfully, and is so fully equipped by experience to continue his useful career, thai it is impossible to draw any comparison lielween him and his oppoaent. We presume Alexander is running as a full fledged llepublican, and whether so or as an Independent, ho is in opposition to the Democratic nominee, and no Democrat should support him. Nor should any personal preference for him as a man, >f time should be such an idea in the mind of any Democrat, find a lodgement. Hemphill is the Ihmoerutic enndidate. "'id is entitled t* evert/ Demoer.it.'c vote, tnd hi llemoeral who voles against him is not trw to the. part;/. Taere is a clear white registered majority in this District, which means a Democratic J majority, and if every such voter will turn out. Hemphill mil rlte'ed Ay to large <> majori t/ us to put it b yond the possibi! ft/ of a sucessfnl eon h st. Turn otti, thru, and vote at .'he Cenyressional box. THE .3-2X1) I'OXGREKS. The contest which is being waged over the entire country for this Congress is <?ne of the most exciting which lias taken place during the past decade. It is being waged by the Kr-pulilicaus with ail of ijie vigor, venom r.nd extraneous aid they can bring to tear, supplemented by a mo.-t liberal u?e of money. Speakers have been sent into doubtful Districts, and the "fat'' is being fried out of corporations and factories most profusely. In XlcKinlcy's District, especially, almost superhuman efforts and most prodigal expenditure of boodle are being resorted to and used. They seem to have an esyrcicl pride in returning him, and Blaine and Heed have gone there to lift up their voices and use their influence to save the father of the iniquitous Tariff Bill. The pious John Wanuinnker is prostituting the United States mail service to help him and all Republican aspirants, and. to dcreend from McKinley to Alexander?from a full-orbed sun to a rush-light?our I'ostoflico has been distributing Republican tariff innttf r to help him in his candidacy, wo presume. Xo wrappers or franks nr? upon these documents, and their false arguments and statistics are sent forth by the hundreds. But to return to McKinley. On the Democratic side, Hill and Carlisle have espoused the Democratic cause and are dealing sledge-hammer blows. The Democratic majority in the District, over both Republicans and Drohibitionists, is 2,^0", and if this is overcome it will result from boodle flowing like water. We trust Ihisarcli agitator and promulgator of this miserable abortion of a tariff which will grind our Monnle stfil Joor-cr intn novcrtv. will be do I 1 * * r foaled. The New York Herald and Commercial Advertiser both predict a Democratic Home, and the hiltcr says the Republicans now c. nrodo it. The calculation of the Herald is vcrj ^conservative and careful, andji h<> exhibit is certainly very satisfactory, it claims a Democratic gain of two in Virginia. two iu Louisiana, two in North Carolina, one in Maryland, one in Alabama, sis in Ohio, and so on, until the majority, giving the Republicans every doubtful District, will be IS at least. This would indeed bo a joyful consummation. To effect it South Carolina must tint lag behind, but elect an entire delegation. There is too much involved, and ilie consequences arc too momentous, for us to, by any laches, slip up. C* out, t'u.n, vu<! v-.i.'f, un-l /v man ker * //.? it ut stake. SENATOR HA?r:i?TON?S LETTER.
