The State Democratic conven tion will meet in Columbia on'the 19th instant and the welfare of the party is at stake. Upon the wisdom of that body depends white supremacy in South Caroli na. Some of the extreme parti sans of the anti faction are at tempting to wreck the Denocratic party and ovorthrow white supre macy in the proud State of South Carolina. Upon them will rest the responsibility of calling the negro back into politics, with all of its dangers and evils. The del egates to the State convention should rise above all personal pro ferences and look to the true in terest of the whole State, giving the advocates of the independent moving no grounds of just com plaint, upon which to go beforu the people. The constitution of the Damocrat ic party should be changed, so as to provide for a direct primary for State officers in 1896, then no ' 'nman caI object to a room the past. The clainipg aind will abide by the It%, toi of their representatives, ht the disappointed and greedy poli iticians ire soising upon every pretext to create con fusion and division inl the ranks. Above all things the (lelegates should not allow any State to be imposed n111)1 thei, they shoul(1 ne t indepen(lently and fearlessly giving to every section of the State a proper hearing. The ila terial for a State ticket is good and will not, be haid to find, st there should be such a select ion as to harmonize and unify every part of the State and every element of the refo-rm facetion. Let the pol1 itician know from the start, that the 'onvenPltion shall not be ma1 nidaedin the) in'te.rest of any set of men'i or their faivorites, but11 puit out a ticket, that will be just to the claims of each faction and will reflect. credlit onl the Reform nm~vemenit, conu11 nandinmg the re sp'ct and1 confidence of thle whl State. INDEPENDENTS IN MOTION. TheJi Indi~epenidents have worked themselves upi to the poinlt of call ing mass melet~iings, which are to elect delegates to a State conven tion. The object of the coniventioni is to reorganize thme Democratic I party, conisider the political situ- I altion and( take such action as their collective wisdom mayli suggest for the publlic welfare. TPhe decl.ii~ was reached inl their recent gath eriug 10 Columbia, but was not publ)1ished unitil last FridIay. They hay', ransacked the whole field of piolitical history and1( were unable to find a single sound rea son for their action. The intendl. ed excuses, as set forth inI the preamble, are simply trite anid puerile and are not evenl plausai The composition of the body, that bears the honor of origina ting the call, would( naturally sug gest that the salvation of Butler was the prime object of the meet ing, anid the so called appeal to the Democrats of tile State wvas only a ruse to promote his chances for another term in the United States Sonate. There is too little pa triotism and too much Butlerism in the scheme to catch the voters of South Carolina. They have undertaken a big job) and at a late hour in the day when they reorganize the Demo cratic party, andl the motive for such a step should be founded on better grounds than the gratifica tion of one man 's ambition. There can be no objection to Senator Butler and hiB friends considering the political situation of the State and a convention for that purpose can do no harm and will doubtless be of little practical benefit to him in his candidacy, yet if they desire that kind of a meeting, no obstaole should be laced in their way. But, when 7 he braoh off from the inain eb $eot otghe 96tivention and begin to takeim4~ion as their col. ectie t~*My sigest for tih State should see to it that the sug gestion of their collective wisdon he not adopted, if it means the overthrow of white supremacy and a return of the negro ih politics. The Reforpiers are criticised, be cause they hold club primaries to select their candidates for gover nor and lieutenant governor, and are charged with having rings, yet the independents, who are making the biggest howl, do not even give the people that much of an oppor. tunity to have a voice in the nam ing of their ticket, but cling to the old cut and dried methods of con vontion. The Butler ring will fix up a ticket and ask the peoplo of the State to vote it, under the guise of democracy, when white supremacy is to be sacrificed to satisfy the ambition of disappoint ed office-sookers and to give politi cal adventurers another chance at the treasury of the State.

All of thE picnic crowd were from Anderson, except tho writer. We got to Fori H'll about 10 o'clock, strolled around until noon, when the din. nor was spread-every one seemed to enjoy it. We spent about ani hour in talking and eating. TIhe girls put up the baskets, watched the Clemson boys march into then new hall for dinner, there we went through the kitchen on to the flow, or yard, and gathered some rieb flowers, came back to the hitching ground, listened to fine music oti the guitar-then everybody started for home with heartfelt glee. a. s.

They (the F. A. and I. U.) have shown to the laboring classes that they have been unjustly dis criminated against. That by cor rupt legislation pilutarchy has been and is to-day drawing the very life blood from the industrial class. That while the town, cities, rail roads, banks, nmanufactures, and great trusts and combines flourish liike a green bay tree, the indus trial classes ( the mud sills of the whole fabric) are onerously op pressed and the tendencies are from bad to worse. or fast as thewhecls of time roll. TPhat the prevailing prices of farm products on the markets en ables capitol to get the lions share of the profits, and the producers labor instead of being profitable, he actually does not realize for his crops, what he spends in pro. ducing. That the plutocratic-howl of thriftlessness in the winter and spring aind over produotion in the fall is another falacious false hood. Thatitistead of want of thrift in the spring and over production in the fall, it is the want of just re ward for labor or (equal rights tc all andl special privleges to none,) where with to, purchase eat and ware this wonderful over produc tion (thriftlessness.) Th at the sub-Treasury system as suggested by the F. A. and I.

If cv, cry other agricultural State had. sent reformers in the p~rop)ort/o this State has to Congress, the oli yoke would have been broken anm the dawn of another era of piros p)erity would be on us. A short sketch of (jol. D. K. Nor. ris' speech delivered at Concorc Church, Sept. 6th, 1794. He firsi reviewed the causes which led1 t< the organiization of the Rofornr movement as organized under th< 5 different farmer's association, etc. showing that the organization o Patrons of Husbandry was the firs child of necessity brought about (as we are all awaro that it dih not prove to accomplish all tha1 was desired,.owving to its extremt liberal and aristocratic tendencim it soon fell inm~to the hands of one mies of its cause b~y opening itt doors to all classes, andl was ma nipulatod against the interest ol the laboring class,) thus paving the way for the second child of no cossity that followed close in itt wako. That was the Farmer 't Alliance and Industrial Union which has and is cutting no small figure in the political destinies ol the people on the face of the earth. but now alas, it. looks as though our noble and bravo revolutionary fathers shed their blood in vain. Indeed is such a government as we are now scourged under, woi thy the name of blood-bought Amoricani .Independenceo. Think of the snow, ice, bare and bleeding feet of the quffering at Valley Forge. We ro poat, is the. present government worthy such a successor. A p~or tion of this is the essence of Blro. Norris' speech, the balance is our own production, as we did not ex pect to rep~ort any part of the ad-. dress, woe did not take dowvn any of the statistics, of 'which the addlress was largely composed. Weo have tried to confine ourselves to tho same line of thought, and are re sponsible for .any errors we have made. if any. 0. ELECTIOU RETURN8. SIECOND PRIMARY. PICKENS.
