OUR KIMTOIUAL POLICY.
It is (i little painful to us to
fiave to again define our editorial
policy* 1 It seems to us that,
lifter a clean cut policy of more
Mian two years as the editor and
owner of this papo?\ everyone
xvlio has followed us up during
'hat period should have that
policy bv heart. '
As it doesn't seem quite clear
(o some however, we will say
again that wo entered the jour
nalistic field with the unalterable
intention of telling the people of
tiling^ ;i# pfrr editor al .columns
;.s we saw them, making such
-ommeots as in our judgment
were right. Wo never dreamed
jf floating with tho tide when,
i!, was our convection that the
tide was floating th'e people on
to dangerous reefs and quick
sands.
To be more explicit, if, suy a
Jiuudtfcd, orr a thousand men en
lertained a predilection for a
certain- law, Or for the course of
condufct'pf some public man, and
w.*i after careful thought couldn't
;o wifh that hundred, or thous
and men, we- have not, nor will
we hesitate -.to so ox press our
,self< And-g*vo the reasons for so
jtloiug, ?y
Wc* have pursued this course
b( auso it is the only honest
/course. We have the very pinall
'.st opinion of an editor who does
ithorwiso for the sake of policy,
and <cleep down In the breast of
overjr gelf-respecting man or
woman,, we believe there exists
ihe same feeling. '
This explanation or reitera
tion is made necessary now be
cause or the fact},. that this ip
,olfeti6n year> und tlje attempt is
/roing to be m ad to heat again
I he people's 'tyloo? as It was
)ie:ited jn
At this period in tho life of
.ill great and beloved Bttte, we
can think of nothing so unfor
tunate to happen, and wo shall
come down with all the sharp
ness of our pen 011 the man, or
men who desire for their own
selfish motives, to again set
brother against brother, and
father against son. There is no
earthly necessity for it, and if
the rumored schemes of certain
parties are sprung upon our peo*
pie, the pen and voice of one
editor in the State at leust will
be raised in strong opposition.
That editor is ourself, God giv
ing us strength to wield the one,
and raise the other. In pursu
ing this course, we need not say
again, the only honest course,
W3 hope to retain the friend
ship of every honest man,
whether he differs with us along
certain lines or not. It is a well
established fact that men will
differ, aud equally so that a small
minded man will not agree to
disagree on certain points and
declines to admit the truth that
both may be honest in his con
victions. We siucerely hope that
we have none such witliiu the
circle of our acquaintance, but if
so, we hope by our future course
to convince him or theiu of our
entire honesty of purpose,
also to impress the fact upon all,
that when a man so closely weds
himself to on9 idea, that all
others are excluded, he becomes
not the broad, public spirited
citizen he should be, but a parti
san of a clique or faction which
may, or may not be leading him
aright, usually the latter
In conclusion, we want to say
that our sole object in the con
duct of this paper, looks to the
upbuilding of South Carolina
and not her undoing, and we do
not hesitate to affirm our belief
that a heated factional campaign
this j ear will set us back at
least ten years in the estimation
of the outside world. Keep cool
heads. Study the various sub
jects that will be presented for
your consideration^ calmly and
dispassionately, ever remem
bering that those who differ with
you may be as honest in their
couvictions as are you. Then,
when the time comes, go to the
polls aiU deposit a vote that is
?n$onUminf)teg yyjtji low fac
tionalism, or prejudice. That
done, you will have the comfor
table feeling of having done your
duty, whatever tho result.
Kershaw Dots.
Dear Editor, "People":
It is with pleasure that I have
time to give you a few dots from
this section. We are having
some tine weather, and the farm
ers are making use of it. Be
tween daybreak and sun-rise you
can hear the boys holloing and
whistliDg, going to the fields
to plow, and the blue birds sing*
iug. It makes a boy feel happy
that he is a Dixie boy.
Mr. B. B. Shirley is erecting a
nice residence on his plantation
in this section. I think we will
have Mr. Shirley with us this
year.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Baxley of
this section spent last Saturday
and Sunday week with our good
friend, Mr. W. C. Horton of
Eastern Kershaw.
Miss Emma McCaskill of this
section is visiting relatives near
Bethune.
A pound party was given on
last Thursday night week at the
residenco of Mrs. Lizzie Mc
Caskill of Bethune, No. 2. Mr.
H. L. Baxley of our community
attended, and reports a tine sup
per which was much enjoyed by
a large, and peaceable audience.
The girls of that community de
serve praise for the nice cake
they presented.
Mr. Donnie Brown of our sec
tion is very ill with rheumatism.
We hope he will soon be up
again. '
As Mr. Watchman's letter did
not appear in last week's issue,
I presumed he was sick, but was
afterwards informed that he had
gone to see his girl, and didn't
have time to write any. I hope
he had a nice time, and will give
us a lot of news this week.
Well, hs I haven't any more
news, I will say good-bye to The
People and its many readers,
hoping to csme again soon if 1
don't get love sick like Mr.
Wutchmau. Sam.
CoMHntt Notes.

preparation for the coming crop.
Mr. William Watkins of Clyde,
S. C., was in this section week
before last. We hope to see
more of him here as he is a very
pleasant young gentleman.
We are much grieved to hear
of the illness of Miss Ella Hor
ton, and truly hope that sUe w}H
soon recover her usual health.
Mr. John Hall, near Lacknow,
was strickeh with paralysis on
the 8th, tilt. Our sympathy goes
out to him and his family.
We attended the pound party
at Mrs. Lizzie McCaskill's and
had a nice time, as did all who
attended.
Guess what young man called
on his bestest, and she failed to
come out, with the result that
he returned home, and was very
sick the remaiuder of the night.
We respectfully recommend
him to take Rocky Mountain
Tea for that disease in the
future.
Miss Kennie McCaskill of near
Bethune will soon pay a visit to
relatives and friends at Wy?
sacky,
Miss Raima McCaskill is visit
ing her aunt, Mrs. Lizzie Mc
Caskill near Bethune. We wish
both young ladies a pleasant
time.
Mr. Joe Hyatt, who had a
paralytic stroke some time ago,
is improving. We waut to see
him well and out again.
Mr. Walter Gaskin of uear this
lace called on some of the
andy Grove girls a short time
ago and reports a pleasant time.
Go back again sonny.
I will close for this time.
Wutchman.
