Very few men of any prominence have sc far taken:.part or interest in the movement. Mr. B. Pressley Barron seems to be the rec. ognized-leader of the split in this county. Last Wednesday afternoon he and a few oth ra probably as many as seven or eight, met near the Furstenburg hall and selected himself; W. Scott Harvin, W. M. Plowden, P. G. Benbow, and J. H. McKnight to go to the Haskell meeting inColumbia. The last three named did not attend the Manning meetng, nor did they go to Columbia eith eor. We tried our best to find out who were presentat the Manning meeting, but Mr. Darron1declined to give us the names. We regret this, as it is our custom to publish the names of delegates that meet in a coun. ty conve tion. They, probably, have some reason, however, for not letting us have the names. In addition to Messrs. Barron and Harvin, 3. L Broughton, S. K. Haynswortb, and W. A. Sparks were the persons who vent to;Columbia to represent this county. What they did will be found on the fourth of this week's issue. e pubhah below interviews with a large number of gentlemen from this county, and they voice the sentiment o? the county. It wa thought at one time best to call a meet ing of *l the clubs to meet any possible danger that might arise, but the movement in the county and state appears to be dwin dling so fast that it will not be done. The clubs will be called together soon, however, but not from fear of Haskellism. We had a great many more interviews, but they are unavoidably crowded out. Mr. D. -L Burgess, of Sandy Grove, says: I was a Bratton man until the Democratic party made their nominations and the par ty put forward a Democratic ticket. Since then I ,feel bound to support Tillman and his whole ticket. Every Democrat should turn out to the polls and support the regular Democatae nominees. Mr S. P. Holladay, supervisor of regis says: I have been conservative all the waythrough the campaign; 1 did not advocae the cause of any candidate, but since Tillman has received the nomination, I think it is tie duty of every Democrat in the Siai to support him and the whole Demo&oticket. I further think that it is the Anty of every Democrat to oppose with all his might this independent move ment that has been thrust upon the people withouft their consent. In so doing the Kwhite p~pe will be doinig 'what was taught azthm y mpton, Hagood, Haskell, and others, beas they warned us and taught ~A to repudiate any and every independent Smvement. Mr. . B Colwell, a member of the firm cY D. W. Aldermani & Co., of Alcolu, says that he was opposed to the nomination of B. ETinlman, but when the Demnocratic party convention assembled nominated Mr. T mnit put a stop to any further opposi tion from him. He further sasthat he is cath ith nogodto result frmi to the Democracy of South Carolina. Mr. Thoasn Wilson, one of the largest aiBi men in this section of the State, says that he opposed B. R. Tillman on prmciple, and djnot consider him aproper man for Governor of South Carolina, but the Demo Saeggemvention~ met and decided to nomi nat. (lpt. Tillman, and as the opposition to bla did not withdraw from the conven tion on account of the irregularities that ~ zaeh-feels bound to discountenance an insanenaent ticket now. The Straigbt. outs, IIhey disapproved of the methods reovted-tid in the convention, should have Swthdagen from the September convention and pjmdiorward a ticket, but not having don.so ad having participated in the naof the convention they are ~-d~by the September convention wheth er- regular or irregular. SShaefH. H. Lesesne will support the rgarDemocratic ticket. and thinks the aalelmovement will make little headway inalirnnon. SMr..'. If. Plowden, foreman of the grand pr'y and one of the commissioners of the > derablection. said: I opposed Tillmian, "Wbuafer knowing him to be the choice of a lrg~seinajority of the Democratic voters of E the state, and after his nomination at the S ' Speber convention, I expect to support thttiket, if any, and regard the ticket with MoCL.Haskell at its head as being unfortunate WZan Ekly to result disastrously to the Dem etie party in the staite. (r JamesE KDavis said: I am satisfied h tatte Hankell movement is wrong in toto, ad iacaleulated to do great harm in the Stat. and every good and true patriot will ~.and aust vote the regular Democratic ticket Wnminated on the 10th of September. Mr..BBarrow5says that he is not in favor; of an independent ticket. He be liaves that every Democrat is bound by the decision of-the September convention, and thsopposing said decision are bolters. Capt, 3. C. Manning, of Fulton, says: I am opposed to Tillman and his methods, 'and cannot bring myself to support him or *his ticket. I think the Haskell movement nfortnate. Capt. J.3J. Conyers, of the Fork, in re spose to an inquiry from us, said that he is opposed to the Haskell movement, and that ho expects to support the regular Dem oeratic nominees. Mr. W. D. Gamble, a prominent farmer and merchant of New Zion, said that he was opposed to Tillman, and the methods resorted to by his followers, but when the county conventions were called he partici pated, and by his act recognized those hod es as Democratic conventions. He DOW feels hound as a Democrat to stand by and 17support the regular nominees of the Sep. -tember State convention, and that no good can result from a split inthe Democratic party. Mr. B. Pressley Barron said he endorsed every word of the address issued by the aken conference. Brawley Spurns Haskellism. Maj.W. H. Brawley, of Charleston, said Mondy in an interview with a Charleston World repoter: "I am the regular nominee of the Demo nratic party of the first congressional dis Ktrict. This Democracy is in organic union with the Democratic party of the State and of the United States. As such I could sup. ,tno other; every consideration of party nd'i~ personal honor deraands that I stn the regular nominees of the party. If I did not do so, I should surrender to the the trust they placed in my hands. ~fact that my law partner has become a candidate of an opposition party cannot al ter my obligation or affect my action. I en deavored in every way possible to dissuade him from this course, not knowing to what deplorable consequences it might lead, but as you may well know he is a gentleman who -hinks for himself." His partner alluded to above is J. W. Barn well, candidate for Attorney General on the Baskell ticket, and the man who ravingly -.swore Tiliman should never be governor, and that the poor misguided people must be taught better sense than to vote for Tillman. Drington has made a contract to have e m towlihted with electricity. According to official returns South Caro liUna has a population of 1,147,161. Claren don county has 23,177. lHon. Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, ha offered his services to the Democratic Stat< executive committee to stump the State foi the regular Democratic ticket. Haskell was burnt in effigy in the town o: Kershaw last Friday night. Among th< large crowd participating in the dlemiorstra tion was a number of his old soldiers. The State executive coninittee of th< Democratic party has instructed the counti chairman of each county to have a cam paign meeting at the court house Monday Oct. 27th. Haskellism was denounced in unmeasure terms last Friday by the Williamsburg coun tv Democratic executive committee, the pre amble to the resolutions citing among othe: things: "We presume that their candidat for Secretary of State, from this county, ist< fair representative of the whole; if so, ani they should get in power. God save on: State." Ed. Harper is the candidate for See retary of State. What Haiel Thought of lndependentism Judge A. C. Haskell, the independen candidate for governor, occupies a ver anomalous position. As we said once before he reminds us of a spoilt child that ha! teen whipped: he keeps a sniffling, and f shaking his head, and a saying, "But I wil now !" In 1887, three years ago, Charles tosL was, it will be remembered, threatened with :1 division in the Democratic party The asect while local was serious anc would inve had an ill effect on the entir State. '-'hen Independentism was worse than Faditalism, and here is what Judg< Haskell himuself then said. Read his owr words and ponder them: "I am shocked to see this thing. An Inde pendent movement in Charleston is not on ly treachery to that city, but to the State and if successful would be repudiated b3 the State. If, for the sake ofpersonal dislik to leaders, the Independents ruin the part which is the white man's party, and th party of consMrvative and intelligent colo ed people of tie State, they will be con demned by all :he people of the State, they will be condemned by all the people of Souti Carolina as traitors, not only to their owr interests, but to the interests of the entire State. "This movement is leading back to th< condition of affairs from which they wer< rescued in 1876, and if they get back to il the people of the State will not help then out of it. In South Carohna it is not a mat ter ot local issues or personal preferences it is a matter of lfe and dtvdh. "There is only one way by.which we can hope to maintain an honest government, and every true citizen is bound to adhere tc that, whatever his opinions of persons o local questions; and the way is to obey th voice of the majority of the Democratic party. If he does not he is a deserter, and should be so treated." In th,. present oemdition of parties in this .iae, an Independent is, if possible, WORNSE T1H-A ) A RADICAL, for he steals the livery <f lleavei to ser'e the devil in.-Senator Wade Ifam p ton's Letter of June 17, 1882. Rouse, ye Democrats! the Enemy b Upon You. To the Democratic Party of South Caroli na: A grave crisis in the history of om State confronts us. The life of our pa.ty i. threatened. White supremacy in Souti Carolina is endangered. What was predict ed, but hardly expected, has happened. An Independent movement has been inau gurated; an Independent ticket has been nominated, and for its success in the im pending election a coalition has been ef fected between the Rep'iblican party and the deserters from the ranks of the- Democ racy. A small gathering of citizens calling themselves Straightout Democrats, repre senting at best only a defeated minority o; the l'emocrats of the State, have helda conference in Cclumbia, ia defiance of the regularly constituted authorities of our par ty, have set at naught the action of the reg. ular Democratic conventions held in Aug ust and September, have proclaimed war against our Democratic leaders and nomi nees, and, to lead them in this internecine strife, they have nominated a full State tick. et, 'with Judge Haskell at its head, as their nominee for Governor. By this action on their part, in opposition to the action of an overwhelming majority of the Democrats of South Carolina, they have read themselves ost of thei ranks of the Democracy. By calling upon the negro voters to aid them in their fratricidal wiar against their white brethren, they have de clared themselves ready to join hands with the black man in pulling down and destroy ing the white man's government, and ready and willhng to see South Carolina again un der the heel of the alien tyrant and the ig. norant negro. They are, a few of them, men of high so ciel standing and of great political infiuence and experience; some of them men whon this State has delighted to honor, and who have filled high positions in reward for their distinguished service as patriots and Democrats. It is therefore with feelings of regret and disappointment that we see them voluntarily departing from our Democratic ranks and subjecting themselves to the cen sure so well expressed by Governor Hamp ton when ho said that an Independent is worse than a Radical. But our duty is ed T'he Democratic party of SoutL Carolina must defeit this Independent movement. No loyal Demo. crat can conscientiously vote for the Inde pendent ticket. And we call upon you, the white men of the whole State, as patriots and as Democrats, to be true to your coun* try, true to your party, and true to youi race. By all that you hold dear, by your lives and liberties, by your Lomes and fain ilies, by your' white civilization and pride of race, we appeal to you to quit you, like men, like Democrats, like Carolinians. If you would prevent the restoration of the ruinous rule under which our State lay helpless and prostrate from 1868 to 1876, ii you would spare your wives and children the re-enactment of the scenes of those dark and terrible days, if you would enjoy prosperons days and peaceful nights, you will not cast your ballots for the Independent itcket. Much though you may admire and esteem Judge Haskell and his co-nominees, you will, as faithful Democrats and patriotic South Carolinians, vote for the regular Demn ocratic ticket wvhich was nominated by the Democratic convention on the 10th day of September. A solid, unbroken Democracy is of far greater importance to this State than the success of any- man or any set of men. Be not deceived by the address to the peo. ple, not the Democrats of South Carolina. which was adopted by the Independent Con. ference. Among other specious argumenta. tion it is sought therein to induce good Democrats to be disloyal to their party by telling them that it is vain to say that the action of a political party exempts the voter from responsibility. This is a trap for the unwary, a prop for the unsteady. Such ace tion is utterly undemocratic. No party could exist if each member should be a law unto himself. Party fealty compels each true Democrat to support the regular party nom* ination. It is undemocratic in any man, or any minority of men, to rebel against the action of the majority of their party. Democrats of South Carolina: The 4th of November is near at hand. In this contest for our civilization there can be no middle ground. He that is not for as is against us, Onyour action that day the fate of youi country depends. By your ballots it will be decided whether Democracy or Republican. ism is to control the government of the State, whether South Carolina is to be ruled by the white man cr the negro.

Every seat in the Iousie of Representatives was ocnpied; all spectators had been excluded from tlic gal lteries; the decks were cleared for action. The discus-ion on both sides had gone far into the night. Haskell's and Barnwell's fiery words had fanned indignation into flame. it was then that Kennedy and Smyth and Orr and Cothran threw themselves in the breach and checked the headlong tide. It was nearly three o'clock in the morning. The seats were empty. The men had risen and crowded around the speaker in a circle so close that the gestures almost touched them. Many of the men were hot with wrath. Every indignant word of defiance made the hall ring with cheers. The words of those who counselled submiission to wrong for the sake of South Carolina fell in ominious silence. The men who sympa - thized with them were too seriously earnest for clamor. They were about to surrender as brave men who surrender a fortress for the sake of the women and children withiu it. They did it without flinching. That action was decisive. It spoke for the straightout democracy, and Haskell and his aiders knew it was so. It was because it was so, that they fought so strenuously to carry this convention with them. They are still free men. They can repudiate both factions of the Democratic party. They may claim that the Democracy no longer holds their allegiance, but let them do so fairly and honestly. Let them an nounce themselves as Independent. Let them not assume the name of the Straight out Democracy which they could not con trol and whose sentiment they do not voice.

WONDERFUL CURES. krT.AxTA, GA., Jan. 2, 1890.-Six months ago, at the request of a friend who was in 1terested in the sale of King's Royal Germe-. tuer, I made a written statement of the ben efits I had received from the use of that medicine. In that statement I expressed the belief that it would cure me entirely of ca tarrh. Within the last two months I have received letters from every quarter of the nation calling on me for further informa tion i. regard to my health. It has been imipossible for me to write privately to each person who has made this request, and I am therefore under the necessity of makingI another public statement. I am free from catarrh. I believe that I could get a certificate to this effect from any competent physician. I have used no med icine within the last six months except IKing's Roiiyal Germetuer. My he:'lth is bet ter than it has been in thirty years. I am in possession of information which wvar rants me in saying that the relief which I have exne'.::sed urom the use of the medi eineC is not more certain and radical than that which it has brought to hundreds of: persons in Georgia and other States. I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that the effects of this remedy upon my wife have been even more signal and wonderful. She has been almost a lifelong invalid from nervous headache, neuralgia, and rheuma tism. In a period of thirty years she has scarcely had a day's exemption from pain. She has been using Germetuer about two months. A more complete transforniation I have never witnessed. Every symp~tom of disease has disappeared, She appears to be twenty years younger, and is as happy and playful as a healthy child. We have per suaded many of our friends to take the medicine, an'd the testimony of all of thiem is that it is a great remedy. J1. B. HlAWTfCRans' - Pastor First Baptist Church.
