YME COSIRACT FAILED. The State Democratic Conven tion for 1910 is now of the past and after all of the r evolutionary resolutions adopted by certain county conventions to restrict the primary to a certain few the con vention by a very decisive major ity refused to be caught in the drag net, and it is with sincere pleasure that we announce to the people of Clarendon that its del egation voted to a man against the attempted elimination of the unregistered white vote of the State. from participation in the primary. Had those who favor confning the-yote in the primary to the registered voter succeed ed, the next step would have been to force a re-registration. The scheme was a shrewd one of long sighted range, and we say now that while the attempt did not succeed this time, we sound a warning to the masses that un less they take a keener interest m the affairs political than they have been doing in the recent past theyare liable to have in the next convention a set of men who favor curtailing the white vote so that it can be confined to the towns-and cties, and in this way control the State. It is our hon est opinion that the movement of elimination was begun for politi cal control solely. and the pro moters of it are going to keep hammering away at it until they are convinced that the people are alive to their intentions. in that case they will withdraw their plans temporarily, and wait until they think the masses have again grown lax and careless and then they will come forward in the hope to catch them napping, but we say to the people, if they val ue the privilege of having a voice in the government to which they must pay taxes for its support, they must not become indifferent to political matters, but they should always guard their politi ~cal rights as they would their ibs an element in this State who really believe that a certain class of people should not have the right to cast a ballot. and they argne that these people are without property and there fore have no interest in the gov ernment; those who hold such views forget that were it not for the non-property holding class there would be very little use for property because it is the non property holding class which fur nishes the labor to the property holding class and it is from this labor that a value to property is created. What would the large fnaoies and mills do without la bor? What would the shops and stc :es, hanks and the other indus trial institutions do, without la bor? Yet it is the life of the very industries they wish to smother out from a voice in the govern ment, and subject it to a condi tion of slavery, for what isa white man awithout political rights? - It will-be adark day inSouith Caroliha when the descendants of the Confederate soldier, or of those who inesponded to the call of Democracy in 1876 are depriv ed the right of -franchise, or are to be subjected to the same con ditions as the negro of today in order that they may have a voice in the government their fathers made sacrifices to redeem. We believe that should such an im position be imposed upon white men it will bring on a revolution that the revolution of 1890 will be a gentle zephy ir. comparison There is a bunch of women go ing over the State calling them selves "Western Bloomer Girls," playing ball with the local young men, who should be at better em ployent. The professional fe oale ball players hit a town and demoralize it. and we do not see why the authorities permit them to exhibit their brazenness. A son of Gen. Wade Hampton, McDffie Hampton of Columbia. has announced himself a candi date for railroad commissioner. Clarendon hasa candidate for this position and he is gaining strength every day. Col. Scar borough as he travels over the State he makes friends, the peo pe admire his energy and pluck. The country at large mourns with Charileston in its loss of that most excellent gentlemen, and profound lawyer. A. Mark ley Lee, Esq. It was our priv ilege to have known him well, and we are sure that no man bad more pleasing manners than~ he, and none more' ready to extend the hand of welcome to the city he loved so well. His death is a distinct loss, not only to Char leston. but to the State, for it is such characters that the State must pride itself upon. Mr. Lee had many admirers throughout South Carolina. -They admired him for bhis magnificient man hood, and his great ability. He was a student, a scholar, and a g~ntleman. The State of Monday makes the observation, "A surprising number of sensible South Caro linians are refusing to run for office this year." Why are they sensible in refusing? Is it be cause they know there is no chance of winning, or are they of the weak spine faith. afraid to put their chances to the test, or is it they have not had their urming sufficient'y worked up? The Rev. Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the Alabama Anti Saloon League, said last Sunday, referring to the recent State primary in which the Pro bitionists lost ground, "the peo ple of Alabama are passing through the valley of humilia tion. Greed. seltishness, and unbelief are the three causes for the recent political reverses of the Prohibitionists." We agree with this divine in that greed and seltishuess had much to do with the downfall of the prohi bition leaders in thac State, many of whom were in the move ment from seltish motives, and they were not sincere in their professions, and as soon as the sincere Prohibitionists discover ed they had been hoodwinked they aided in the repudiation of these false gods. Greed for office and power, seltishness, was the controlling influence, and un belief in the cause professed will bring reaction to any movement. Is the liquor question settled in this county? We understand that the Prohibitionists insist upon wanting a representative who stands for prohibition. If this is true, then the question is not at all settled, and no. man matters not who he is should be permit ted to gum-shoe his way in the contest for preferment. A man cannot pat the Prohibitionists on the bank and say, "I am with you," and turn around to the Lo cal Optionists and say, "the liq or question is settled." He must take a position and sink or swim with it, for itisasubject that is in teresting the people. So far as county affairs are concerned the liquor question is tixed for four years from the day the dispensary was voted out, but there is a r-zeat difference in having the '.. v to remain as it is now. and fixing it so that it shall take away the right of localself-government. In Alabama so long as the Prohibi tionists were content to abide the will of public sentiment and per mit the principle of local self government, just solong was pro hibition gradually and sure gain ing, but the moment it was un dertaken to force measures by nailing it hard and fast into the onstitution, from that moment there was a revolt and the masses rose up, repudiated the leaders and they are now turning their fces towards local option- We are similarly circumstanced in this county and state. The Yorkville Enqurier, one of the best, if not the best country paper in the State, is away oxf in the matter of confining the yotes otherimarytothesamerequire ents as the general election. Jsuall' the Enquirer is very sound in its arguments, and as a rule is a defender of the masses against the encrochments of the classes, but upon this vital ques tion we find it arguing the propo siion from a standpoint which is repugnant to a free people. In speaking of the action of the late democratic convention, it holds out hope that the conspirators who are seeking to disfranchise a large portion of the -white peo ple of this State by imposing up-I n them certain burdens which hey hope will not be heeded, will yetsucceed, it says: ''The change will come in time, we think, and when it does come it may be in terpreted to mean the triumph of the very sound and comprehen sive principle that the country should be governed by the people who contribute most to its sup port." That is the milk in the ocoanut. "That the country should be governed by the people who contribute most to its sup-1 port." If this is not a plain state ment we know not a plainer way of stating a purpose. The En quirer has verified our judgment as to the conspiracy on foot to disfranchise a large elementof the white vote of the. State so as to put the government in the hands of a few men who have grown rich from the sweat and toil of the laboring classes. The govern ment cannot be run on the meth ods of corporations, thatthe stock holders vote according to the amount of stock they own, but every citizen who manages to keep out of the penitentiary is promised equal rights; there shall not be in this free republic a monied aristocracy, pampered very often upon ill gotten wealth, and to say these should have ex tra privileges because they con tribute to the government in the way of taxation. is totally a; va riance with the principles of free government. This government is founded upon the principle of, "equal rignts to all and special privileges to none, "it was for this grand principle the founders of this govern ment shed their blood, and it was for this principle that the men in 1860 shouldered their muskets, and it was for this prin ciple that Wade Hampton march ed from the mountains to the sea, and it was for this principle the people have always given their support to a movement that had its preservation for its purpose. They never would have consent ed and never will consent to the doctrine laid down by the Enquir er, "That the country should be governed by the people who con - tribute most tn its support.e In the preceedings before the supreme court in the case of the Carolina Glass Company the names of the stockholders of the company are given. It will be recalled, this newspaper has been asking The State to give these names to the public, but it would not do so, that is. we have never seen where it ever pub lished these names, but now the attorneys for the company in their pleadings., name the gentle men, And so far as we know, they are among Columbia's most enterprising business men, but what puzzles us is the refusal of The State to give these names when they were asked for. The dispensary commission has made a serious charge against these Columbia business men, and it matters not how high they stand in business, or social circles, why should The State conceal from the public their names, after such a serious charge re fiected upon their integrity was made, not by us, but by a legally constituted court, with the duty imposed upon it to ferret out who has been robbing the State of South Carolina; this court al leged the Carolina Glass Com pany has swindled the taxpayers out of thousands of dollars, and when the names of these people were asked of The State, that newspaper gets out of humor and not only refused to publish the names, but became insulting. Now the names furnished the court by the company's attorney are, Thomas Taylor. Dr. B. W. Taylor, Benj. F. Taylor, W. G. Childs, E. G. Seibels, John J. Seibels, W. B. S. Whaley. C. A. Norton. W. S. Reamer, Harry Williams, and D. B. Miller. Cer tain transters of stock were made so at the time of the report Wilie~Jone's name is added to the list of stockholders. Every one of these gentlemen are iden titied with Columbia's business interests. and most of them are interested in the banks of that city, and some of them, we think are also associated in business with the president of The State Company, but because of the prominence and the association of these gentlemen. it is a mys tery The State should have created a suspicion there was "something rotten in Denmark," by refusing to publish the names when there was a polite request made for it to be done. How ever. the public is now in pos session of the names of the men the dispensary commission charges with robbing the tax payers, and notwithstanding the ine tribute paid them by their attorney in his argument, it does not remove the stain from their caracters that was put upon themr by this commission. low's This t we offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any cae of catarrh that cannot be cured by Ha'-s catarrh cure.
