Muicu inuy u'waya uianm-si in lociil and State po itica. But for the reason that thorn is only one party in South Carolina, the intt rosf ti\':<?n in national politics, ho far as the vote of this Statu i* concerned, is very small compared to tlmt t-iken in State and county politics. South Carolina nlwuys koos t-oliuiy Democratic and I then awaits the result in the doubtful states. Nor will (bore bo a srnut <bal of interest this year in Stntn politico, for the reason Ibnt mo?t of tho State officers will ask for a second t?-rm, and it bus lonpf been tbo unwritten I law in Soutb Carolina to trive a Stule I officer, who hn? served acceptably for two y?-ni?, a seoond term. But tljero is always a lively inter est iii county politics. Tiuk Neah at Hand. The State Democratic Executive rominitteo met two years ii^o <>n the .'id of April for the purpose of calling for u reorganization of the party.
