The Barnwell People. JNO. W. HOLMES, Editor and PfiOPRlXTOR. 'U&6BST OOONTT CIRCULATION THURSDAY, NOVKMBKR n, 1300. TbtCtoMoftheCanpRlffa. The meeting io Barnuell lent Thurs day was the last public demoutttration o( atlriing campaign of 189*1, and It was by long odde the most signal end significant of the Song series. Thb ex-“ cite menu of the'canvsss were over out the large alt^ndaoce and the solid en thusiastic determination of the Democ racy showed that there Is “life in the old land yet’’—and a plenty of it. The procession in point of numbers aim gallant bearing brought back vivid memories of 76, and the splendid good ardor that prevailed was a complete proof that Democracy Is the one party- of peace In this old common-wealth. The addresses of the speakers were lib erally punctuated with applause. We would be glad to reproduce them iu full, but that is Impossible We take, however, from the New* and Courier a synopsis of Gov. Uagood’s remarks, which show with plainest and most in- contestible reasoning the duty of all good Democrats to join heartily in seeking to make the new administra tion a most successful one : When eight years ago I retired frfrhfi the office of Governor, to wliich_tbe perhaps too partial suffrages of my fel low cltiaens had elevated me, I “closed my connection with active politics. Without further aspiration for office 1 took my position in the ranks, and there have since simply sought to do my duty to my party nud to my coun try. Without departing fiom those views 1 am here to speak to you to-day. The executive committee of the county Democracy have asked me to be one of the speakers of this occasion. If they think it can do any gmel it is for me isot to question, but to obey. There •au be no doubt of the gravity of the situation that confront* u*. Kor four teen years the Democratic party has ruled the counsels and shaped the pol icy of the Htate. Taking the helm when the ship was foundering, it has guided her on upon a prosperous voy age. Honest industry has reaped Us harvest, captlai from abroad has been attracted, new and thriving enterprises have sprung up all over the land; peace end good feeling have marked the rela tions between the two rare* that con stitute our people; aud the white man and the colored man have alike enjoyed breach and make white solidarity and w hite supremacy a thing of the past iu bouth Carolina. . D«t me present one other matter for your consideration. The* infamous •lection legislation proposed in the Fedora! Congress is suspended, not de feated. Let violence and bloodshed characterise Urn coming, Htate election* and it may be when 4liej9«gt occurs that w« will tind otrrKeJve.On the con>»' dition that rasFhed tl»edays of lienon- struct Con—the superior race in the shackles of Federal law, and all that is base ahd rile in our iflidst domina ting and destroying the btate. My friends, i am done. Let the bal lot-boxes next week show that we have done our duty to the State earnestly, hotiestly, perfectly. Vigorously as serting our own rights, let ’us respect the rights Of others. “Time makes ail things even.” When the sober second thought of our people, occurs, when their innate conservatism a-serts Itself as it will, the evil that has grown out of the present canvass will disappear and the goodL $ili remain.

But how stand we now f A campaign for office without the lines of our own party l» drawing to a close—a campaign more heated and marked bv more intemperance of speech, and more Ill-considered critti- knatloit and reerimlnatlon than eve- be fore was known in South Carolina. The natural result ha» followed—the party has Urea spilt. Two tickets am to the field, and one has upehly allied itself with ths Republicans, seeking success by the aid of the demagogues and Ignorant voters, whom they them selves, with acorn ami contumely. hurled, from the power they once dis graced. ltduea aeem to me the height of po litical insanity. No man can rise above hta party, lie can quit it; but If he ad heres to It and rules It, he must unques tionably concede to its spirit. Elected chiefly by Republican votes, ho will Im* trammelled and controlled In spite of himself by Republican influences. Granting all thatcan Im asked of the high character ami patriotism of the gentlemen w ho have led this departure, to this complexion it must come at last, and South Carolina pays the penalty. 1 do not pro|M>ie to review tile situa tion further. We all know and under stand It. Hard words have brought it about; hard words will not cure it. My |Mrsonal poa'tlon lias never varied. It w as the same in my precinct club, in the Tounty Convention and in tlie two conferences which I attended at Colum bia of ray w ing of the Democracy. Af ter the Nominating Convention, at tlie request of friends and in view of tlie Independent movement that followed, 1 stated in the county paiMirs how I then stood. Many of you no doubt re call this statement, but I repeat and re affirm it now*. The Convention of the 10th of September closed the campaign as far as the Democratic party was con cerned. Mr. Tillman and bis associates were nominated by an overwhelming majority of the party after a full can vass of tlie State. That action cured. In my judgment, the irregularities that Lad occurred before, and further resis tance, no matter by what name it may be called, appears to me to be Indepeu- dentlsm, pure and simple. While Mr. Tillman was not my preference, and while 1 did not approve the methods of Lis campaign, and white I resisted 1 within the lines of the party his noml- ination, l accept the result iu gouil faith and give him my support. In so doing t retain my own convictions, but acquiesce in the decision of tlie people: Buoh is my view of duty as a party man, and in this course only do 1 be lieve the welfare of our State is con served. Nor am I alone in taking this position. It is that of nine-tenths of the men in this county with whom 1 acted in the late primary contest- In fact, I know by personal knowledge, or by inaction of but twq of the seventy odd members of tbcTStraightoutClub to WxaitixuTox, Oct. 3»—In 1880, ac cording to the United States census, i he population of South ('arvdina w as .177, of which 3UI,lift were white* and tiOl.ITtjih' ludi ug i iidlatis, CLiuese *nd negroes, were colored.

So far a* the support of that ticket iu Barn well is concerned what strength it may exhibit will be Republican.

The elements of returning storms will show* themselves to the West a day or two prior to the 23d, which date is the central date of the last regular period for tlie month. The 23d, 2 ith and 25th, and days next before and af ter, will bring marked storm »move ments of a decided wintry cast. Make all such preparations as you would wish to have for cold, unpleasant weather at this time, and sec how you will congratulate yourself when the time arrives. Do not wait until the storm days. Then you w'ill be housed, and yourself and stock will lie exposed later to the crest of cold following tlie storm.

Kvax, sole igeht, I often think of an answer I hoard made once by a plain man, tlie ow tier of a large milling interest, w hen asked for llit* news. **rhings are vvoirving along, about as usual,” he said. How it brought to mind all the attrition of tho wheels of life,Tlie patty vexation*, nothing when past, but so annoying at tlie time, the little difficulties to in* overcome in almost everything, iu the pursuit of pleasure not less than of other tilings. aWill iteverbe different, I wonder. Will the machinery >f life ever move on smoothly, cog w ithin cog, w ith no creaking, or straining or locking of w heels. It may be that this was a part, not alone of the consequence and penal ty of our fallen nature, but of the rem edy as well, to teach us courage and patience, courage to meet and overcome the difficulties of life, patience to bear vvilh those that are insurmountable _ In all probability, this will continue to be so while time and tide shall run. In great concerns and small, things will continue to “hitch,” where there seems to be no-reason far it. It would be a great art then, if we could learn, when “things” worry, not to worry with them. We shall have taken another degree in the great secret of happiness, when we can aeoepJLthfs inevitable “worrying” of the machin ery of life as a part of the imperfection that exists in human things, without being fretted by it in our own spirits. To high antMovv, it comes alike. To kings and their cabinets, the infinite friction tiiat attends the passing of im portant public measures. To the mother in her nursery, the teasing im portunities of childhood. To the cook in the kitchen, the not less palpable woes attendant upon yeast that refuses to rise, and dinners unaccountably be lated. Each day brings its; own tribulations in the shape of jietty vexations, if we take them as such. It may be that.the bars have been left down, and the cow Is making her breakfast off the choicest of the cotton. That has been rectified ^and all is aferene again, with the boys Tat school for the best part of the day; when it is found that Tom has the “feed-house” key in his pocket. So it goes. Tomorrow it w ill be something else, for we will take good care that the bars are up and the key in place. But what I* the use of being miserable to day about what we will laugh at to morrow?

All they can do is to follow in tlie step* of their fatlier*, and follow lug, with no desire for advam'e- tnent, never- have and never can develop •character or capacity, and theae are the only forces that can cause progress. The vital question then is, what is the spur to tlie development .of these two essential qualities? and the only answ er possible is, tlie struggle for material ex istence. This is not a low motive, for through it cornea all that is good, true, ami noble. But if thjf.struggle for ma terial existence Is tbewnd, then it I* the moat debasing thing on earth. If a muti works that he may satisfy material wants, he is on the plane of a savage, though ho lives like a civilized man 1 f all our efforts found their end and aim iu giving us something to eat and drink, theft we are not removed from the lower animals. They do nothing more than do this. But if we eat that w e may able to become informed by books, trav els, thinking, and to doing others good, then we are living on altogether an other plane. Character ami capacity liecome motives for the struggle for ma terial work, and tlie lower centers in its thoughts and ideals around the high er. This is civilization, culture. Any thing lower is barbarism and savagery. Now it is plain to see tlie purpose of education—not to teach boys and girls to get a living that they may be able to eat, drink, clothe themselves, and grat ify their appetites. “Whoever does, this is educati’ig boys and girls to become, civilized savages But the true teacher inspires his pupils with irrepressible de sires to learn for learning’* sake—to know for the very delight knowing gives, to be good, noble, true, useful, God-like, and well-informed, for the ‘ very delight it will bey and for the vary* i joy it w ill give him to be good, noble, true, useful, God-like, and well-inform ed. Who then is the true teacher? It is plain to see. The plodder who crams for his pay, as an end, and makes his pupils plod for marks and promotion, and praise asau end, and who creates iu his scholars no higher ideals than the gettingof allying, is educating savages, but he w ho creates intense desires to lie better informed, to travel, to know the world, to invent, to do good, is creating jy class that will have tffiaracter ami ea- FBXCi M’TS t Ai>M«l*ir j Bamberg Barnwell. w j BlackvHie !
