TBXANIG TOMS WEDNESDAY, November 26,1890. The Pinewood Election. We publish below (1) a communi cation from Mr. J. M. Welch in reply to an editorial that appeared in the armS two weeks ago, and (2) a letter ! froln Mr. S. A. Nettles, which appear ed in the Keu-s and Courier in reply to a letter of Mr. Welch's in that paper. There is nothing in Mr. Welch's letter that requires any notice, except possibly one statement of his in which he pronounces a statement made by Mr. Nettles as false. Mr. Welch him self knows that Mr. Nettles would nake no false statement. As county chairman Mr. Nettles notified the members of the executive committee of the meeting of Oct. 21st. No print ed notices were sent out, nor was the meeting advertised, but either per i sonally or by some responsible party .the notifications were sent to every inember. On Friday afternoon, Oct. Ytb, in the court house, Mr. Nettles, in the presence of another gentleman, k requested Mr. J. C. Manning to notify M W Welch of this meeting, and Mr. 'Manning promised to do so. Wheth Mr. Manning remembered to de liver the message, we do not know. 'Thmrneeting held Oct. 31st, was but an Djourned meeting of the. 21st. But that all amounts to nothing any for as an independent Mr. Welch Lwould not have been allowed a seat '_ith the executive committee of the ocratic party, and had Mr. Man delivered the message we have idea that Mr. Welch would have pted to have claimed a seat th the Democratic executive com Mr. Welch Still Wincing.

Com. as an individual and myself. But I am Wfnstrained to refute certain statements and r e certain insinuations made in rela ! to myself in an editorial in the last 7se of the Tnms. It is needless to quote article in question as your readcrs are * with it. Ibavenever "undertaken to represent" Attorney General; it would be "Love's lost to attempt it; he has always "un en to represent" 11imself and very too. I would not give an iota "to dis the law" with Mr. Kettles and have essayed that task. I have mastered gsh language sufficiently to read it fai, intprtt it; d, aig conveni Accesto the Statutes of the State, and -ing read the actsnentioned, it is entire superogatory for me "to get the law from are or some other lawyer" (as Mr. gratuitously suggests) although I unbounded confidence in Col. Earle's ty. Therefore, I do not surrender one nor tittle of my construction ot the law, Nettles and his lawyers to the contrary, thstanding. But, as this is inconse uent to the purpose of this communica like Mr. Nettles I "drop the subject on point." Ido not doubt the veracity and honesty l the gentleman from whom Mr. Nettles his information bearing upon the pby" of Pinewood; but he, in com with other gentlemen, may some times miistaken. Th distance from Fulton to Pinewood is 'no moment in the question involved. emen no doubt equally as honest and as Mr. Nettles informants, say that e oak in front of the nuilding in the State election was held, is the O'nship line. This would clearly throw *building in Fulton township. The own 'of the property say itis in Fulton town ;itis assessed as in Fulton Township. - riter's individual opinion is that it is distance and a hard road to a "reas bt" in this case. However, "in ble fate" will determine the line short ..For the present the question is imma r Nettles' assertion that it was my fat~d -1was not present "when the instruc -. eae issued to the Democratic miana ~election at Pinewood," I deny most )hatically, and while disliking to appear. -or personal, pronounce the statement Mr. lNettles in this matter to be palpably unequivocallyfalse! I hope not inten "'aeso, and I cannot imagine he meant maea statement that possessed not the -. of foundation in fact. I received one notification to attea~d a meeting of Executive Committee, about the 1st of ,I think and was prevented from it, owing to an accident which the night previous. Subsequently, nof a met held Oct. 18th. I re-: nontc oattend it, and was not eognimant of any other meetings of. Committee until I read the editorial in Tu of the 5th inst. criticising Col. - s" advice, and, to borrow Mr. Nettles' * ha C.J. J. Brouhto never ree instructions from the Executive Comn and he is a man than whom the has never produced a truer democrat nobler citizen. wihma Nettles ifrng itmeato my * claim to membership of the Co. -a Com-. is a matter of supreme in to me. I am not advised that he namadof a patent to read myself and demoeats out of the party, but his po proenrption of me will not shape in 'least my political destiny. And, as my - of the fitness of things" is not anal to his, I shall continue to represent eiub in the Co. Dem.Ex. Coin. whenever necessity presents itself. It may be -per to remark that had the vote of the cod box effcted in any way the result tthe election, protest against throwing ~tbvote would, in due form of law, been and the votes would doubtlessly have tabulated. This is mentioned simply "nit seems to beoa luscious morsel to 4eT""ss vitiated political palate to relate iefact that the "Pinewood box was thrown .bty the Commissioners of Election." ~And, en-passant, will the Tixzs, as a mat 1rof information, tell me in letters so plain tbathe who runneth can read: Is it not ~sig strange that the Pmnewood Congres ROaox was not also thrown out when it ropened much later than the Polls of the tyadState ? But perhaps thislike the ipalzto the Eegistration Books of the whilom Fulton Precinct, now the histori eal Pinewood Precinct, will be vailed in ~the same atmosphere of mystery that ~shrouded that wholesale hygen of votesthat ~were registered to vote at Pineioood but ,ogtthe more congenial realms of Packs "Tis strange indeed what difference be, Twix't Tweeldledam and Tweedledee." - "Let the galled jade wince, My withers are unwrug."

'Chairman Nettles Gives His Side of the Case-The Whole Thing was the- Re sult of a Well-laid Plan of the Execa -tive Committee to Keep a Bad Set of -Negrees from Voting-Mr. Welch's Course at that Box Six Years Ago. ANLNING, S. C., Nov. 11, 1890. To the Editor of The News and Courier: Mr. J. M. Welch, in your paper yesterday, has a communication in which he first takes exceptions to my criticising Attorney Gen eral Earle's action in advising that a voter registered for Fulton could vote at Pine wood, and then he proceeds in his own in imitable style to read me a lecture. Mr. Welch caims that Pinewood is in Eulton Township, and as far as the legal asetof this case is concerned I am per fetywilling to admit that Pinewood is in PlorTownship, for according to advice from Senator Rhamne and Mr. Galluchat, both of whom examined closely into the laa voter registered fcr Fulton could not ~vote at Pinewood. As a matter of fact, h owever, Pinewood postoffie is in Calvary Township, and the boxes for thelState and in the Manning Times, in Cal Towz ship. So say Major Louis H. De hamp Mr. I. S. Harvin, Mr. Paul Hodge, and number of other prominent gentlemen wi reside at or near Pinewood, and whose v< racity Mr. Welch would not for a momei question. And as a further matter of hi tory it may not be amiss to state in th connection that the commissioners of ele tion to-day threw out this box for irregula ties. Law, I have always understood, is basE on common sense, and when I am shown law passed in 1889 that repeals all prev ous Acts inconsistent with it there is vei little use for the Attorney General or b champion, Mr. Welch, to quote me a la passed four years previous. Mr. Galluch furnishes me with the following writte opinion: Masu~no, S. C., November 10, 1890. Mr. S. A. Nettles, County Chairman-De, Sir: In reply to yours of this date will sa The Act Assembly 1885, cited by the Atto ney General in his telegram to -M Broughton, does not apply to Pinewoc precinct. That Act provides for "certai changes of the voting precincts of the se eral counties of the State," etc. There : no Act changing Fulton, or any precinct, I Pinewood. Pinewood was "establishei with other precincts by A. A. 1889. Sectio 2 of Act 1885 does read as follows: "th whenever one polling place has bee changed to another place in said townshii * * * the registration of voters for tl former polling place shall be valid and e fectual for the new polling place or precinct but it will be observed that this part < that Act is clearly repugnant to, and incor sistent with, the Act of 1889, Section 2 < which reads: "The supervisor of registr: tion is hereby authorized and directed t exchange the registration of such electors L may apply to him for that purpose fro! other precincts to the precincts establishe by this Act, whenever itshall appear to hir that the elector so applying resides withi a reasonable distance of the same." Section 3 of the Act of '89 reads: "Th all Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent wit this Act be. and the same are hereby r pealed." It is, therefore, clear that it is fc the supervisor to determine whether a elector is entitled to vote at Pinewood pr< cinct, and if so, it is his duty, upon appl cation, to furnish him with a certificatq making the necessary changes. The man gers of election are simply to see to it thc "no person shall be allowed to vote at an other precinct than the one for which he i registered." G. S. Sec. 98. You will, therefore, perceive that thos persons who were registered for Fulton an neglected to have their certificates change to Pinewood were debarred by law fror voting there, Yours trulv, M. b. GALLrcaT. Mr. Welch closes his communication thu, "To Mr. Nettles, as chairman of the cour ty executive committee, I will say that (as b is aware) I have the honor to be a membE of that committee; but the matter 'that we sprung,'four days before the election, b fore the committee, was not 'sprung' befor me, nor was I, as a member of that commi1 tee, consulted in issuing those most extri ordinary 'instructions.' Will the chairmat that Titanic moulder of our political dest nies, explain why ?" say ilat I was never an expert v guessing conundrums. I do know, howeve that Mr. Welch since the September convet tion has not attended any meeting of th county Democratic executive committee, an I know further that had he attended a meel ing since the Independent ticket was pr mulgated he would have had to pledge hi fealty to the regular Democracy, or he woul not have been allowed to remain a membe of the committee, and I further know the if it is true, as I have been reliably inforn ed, that Mr. Welch did vote the Independer ticket, then he will not be allowed a sea with the committee, nor do I believe tha he would from a sense of the fitness C things desire a seat with the committee. In conclusion, I desire to make an expli nation to the public. Fulcon precinct i made up very largely of negro voters, an some of the worst in the State. Six year ago Mr. Welch was a manager at the Fede: al 1:ox, and the true condition or characte of that poll cannot be better defined an explained than by the following letter, wril ten to us six years ago by Mr. Welch hiat self: "Kili the Damned Democrats." Ftuvrox, Nov. 10, 1884.-One of the mnos disgraceful riots that have ever stained th annals of our county occurred at this pol: ing precinct last Tuesday. All during tb day the negroes showed a restless and tui bulent spirit, and were very violent in the; threats and actions. The jam at the Cor gressional polling place was terrific, tI neg'roes fighting one another, and in sonm cases actually tearing off the clothes of eac other in their efforts to get first to the poll: They acted as if their lives and liberty de pended on casting a vote, but by their ma haste the voting was greatly retarded. Th ten State constables were excellent, bray< and determined men, and they did much t facilitate matters, but it was utterly impo sible to quell the pandemonium raised b these demoniacal negroes. About fifty n< groes without registration .certificates pr sented themselves at the polls and demnand ed that they be allowed to vote, and it wa with great difficulty that a riot was then kei down. When the polls closed there were least twenty Democrats who had been kei from voting by this mob. During the cari vass of the Congressional vote the threat of the negroes continued to increase, an seemed to be aimed especially against Mat ager J. Manning Welch, but no violence wa done. Before the canvass of the electori vote began the managers informed Repubi can Supervisor Boston that he could not b present during the counting. The Dem<E cratic supervisor had already retired, an Boston said he was aware that he had n right to remain,,, and without an further ado he quietly left the roon: This seemed to be a signal for a general ui rising, and the mob, now numbering abot 350, became loudest in their curses. Immi diately upon Boston's leaving the hous three pistol shots were fired at the manager by the mob. These shots lodged in th window sills, and the mob angrily demand ed that the negroes in and arou-id the door and windows should leave, so that the could kill the d--d Democrats. A regula fusilade was now begun, the balls strikin against the side of the house like hail, bu amid all this, the managers quietly proceed ed with the count, until one ball grazed th shoulder of State Constable B. P. Geddings and other persons in the house came nea being hit. This was a little too hot, and th white men within the house were forced I seek an irnner room for protection. At leae four hundred shots were fired at the build ing, but fortunately no one was hurt. Th firing continued for three hours, and we throughout accompanied with brick-battin and hideous yellings. In addition to tb shooting, the negroes also cut up the sai dles and harness and took the taps off tb buggy wheels, and did what other damau they could There were in the house aboi twenty white men, but they all remaaine quiet, and nct one shot was fired at tb mob. w. The following spring seven of these riote: were tried and six of them were convicte and sentenced each to astem of six month in the Penitentiary. Mr. Welch was th chief mover in the prosecution, and fror his great zeal in the case was dubbed th assistant solicitor. But time works gre: and marvelous changes. At the recent election, so we are told by number of reliable gentlemen from Pin< wood, who, if necessary, are ready to mak affidavit to the truth of the assertion, M1 Welch was exceedingly active in trying t get these same negroes to vote against th regular Democratic ticket, and because th negroes seemed disinclined to 'ote he al tempted to incite them to riot-the sam negroes who, six years before, had attemp1 ed his and the other managers' lives. Br he could not get the negroes to do his bid ding. If Mr. Welch wishes to deny th above we refer him to Major L. H. De: Champs, the Senator-elect from this count: to Mr. R. S. Harvin, to Mr. Paul Hodge, an, to other names we can furnish him with. Knowing then the great danger at thi poll, and having been informed that a nun: bea of white men in that section were er deavoring to get negroes to vote the In~de pendent ticket, the Democratic executiv~ committee determined to take advantagec the law as above stated, and to deprive ses ral hundred negroes from voting. Or plans were well laid; our work was well don! few white men were deprived of their vote: butMr. Welch and his few white and man colored friends were not allowed to cas their votes for Hakell. And we did it a fairly and lawfully. The count Democrac of Clarendon was well organize, and we ar A Parting Political Shot. a EDIroR MLssim Tnms:-The yea i 1890 will be the most remarkable it the political history of South Caroli 3- na ever recorded. A year remarkabl is for one of the bitterest political war ever waged in the State. It will b remembered that on the 27th of las d March there assembled at Columbia . convention known as the Farmer, ( Convention of South Carolina. Tha is convention was composed of freeme w and citizens of the State of Sout It Carolina, who had the right to peace ably assemble and to suggest as the thought best some plan that would e] tr evate the farming interest of ou State and encourage the farmers t renewed energy to try and better th d condition of the farmers. The con n vention met and as a result of its de P liberations concluded to set aright th 0 political machinery of the State, be r lieving the political machine was nc n and had not been working in the in It terest oi the whole people though that the starting point and so it wa . decided. The convention then deem f- ed it best to suggest candidates fo only the oflices of governor and lieu tenant governor and a platform c principles: a platform broad enoug] - and strong enough to hold up ever; citizen in South Carolina, regardles of occupation, for support. That con a vention suggested the name of tha a farmer. patriot, and true Democral a B. 11. Tillwan, of Edgefield, for gov ernor, and that milk-and-water patri ot and Democrat, of Chesterfield, fo lieutenant governor, J. C. Coit. 1i Tillman accepted the nomination, and as the sequel will prove, reached th goal. The milk-and-water patriot an Democrat declined being a candidat before the ink that showed his nam, hardly had time to dry, and for thi piece of folly will have a long time t< reflect and see his mistake. From th, e day this piece of patriotic work wa done to the day that ended in its fina triumph, it was met with the bitteres of bitterness. The opposition array - ed its best talent against and fough it to the meeting and decision of th, ' September convention, but was fairl; r and honestly beaten; the verdict o s the people having declared decisivel; in favor of the nominee and platforn of the March convention. At that noint of the matter all trui Democrats and patriots considere( the matter settled, and at once acqui esced in its result. But alas, the con flict was not over; the conflict was on ly over with all Democrats and trui e friends of our grand old State Fron . the 10th of September to the 4th da: of November the action of the farm s ers and the Democratic convention o South Carolina was assailed by a se r of men calling themselves straightou . Democrats, who though by all rigb t thinking men can only be pronounce( t political traitors. The straightouts as they called themselves, it will bi remembered called their councils o war since the M\arch convention, t< S spring this very piece of treacher: upon the State. In two of them a ma jority of its members, though oppo rn ed to Mr. Tillmnan and his methods a Sthey nicknamed the uprising of th -people of South Carolina, voted dowi the proposition to bring out a tiee against the regular nominated ticke of the State convention. The extrem *ists in this body would be defeate< every time on a measure~of this kind eand, smarting under disappointmen set themselves to sifting and sifte< r until they sifted every particle of trui SDemocracy and principle out of thi: e wonderful council, and after getting b things in the right trim gave anothe: -blast of the bugle to assemble a bod; Sof men who had always been, or a e least thought to be Democrats, to as ,semble and make one mighty an< Sgrand effort for the overthrow of truw SDemocracy in our good old State. 01 .the 6th or 13th of October. or some where about, these straightouts me and after rubbing their heads togethe: Sand jolting their narrow minds for *while, concluded to put, a ticket in thb t political field. They also conclude< to issue an address to the people c SSouth Carolina, of which we are a] .familiar with, and were equally amus s ed at. Had the address been address Sed to the Radicals of the State i . would have been more appropriate, fo .through and by them was their onl: i chance of success, and they aimed i o for them and no one else, and the: 7' know it. ZFrom the day of the assembling an< t action of that body the fight has beei a fight between true and unquestione< *Democracy led by B. R. Tillman, an< e galvanized radicalism led by one A C . Haskell, who with his henchmei s and satraps in every county in thi: 7 State have catered and monkeye< with radical negroes to crush and de ,stroy the last vestige of white suprem -acy and Democracy in South Carolin: Sand had it not been for the united ~determined, and invincible Democrat e they would have accomplished thei: 0 devilish purpose. But true Demo t crats on the 4th day of Novembe e presented an unbroken and undivide< s front, and swore by Him that livet] g that radicalism, though led by one A *C. Haskell, should never reign agaii e in South Carolina. No, the people o e this State have not and never wil t forget the days of radical rule ii dSouth Carolina, never will forget th< edays when, a helpless people, we ha< to drink the cup of humiliation to it s bitter dregs. Days when we had ti dsuffer all the humiliation and degra e dation ever heaped upon a noble an< u patriotic people; days when we wer< e robbed and plundered with impunity Lt and days we can call to mind when wi a would pray with all sincerity of heart Sgive us this day our daily bread eForget these things, no; never whil the memory of man shall last will w 0 forg'et them. e Our noble victory in South Carolin -is not alone to be exulted over, bu e our national victory also, or at leas in some and the 1 arger parts of ou -common country. The click of th e wires on last Tuesday spread the joy ful news all over the country that thl j g. o. p., that grand old party of gran moral ideas, that grand old part; s whose record for more than twenty five years has been one of devilmnen Sand rascality only, have been routed e and in a large measure is to be re f manded to the rear for a season a -least, and the victorious Democrat r everywhere can now take a short resi and after that prepare for a final over y ho fradicalism throughout on: whoe ounryin 1892.
