News and Courier ] General Hac;ood was born In Barn well County, South Carolina, and was educated at the State Military Aca demy in Charleston, where he was {graduated with the first honor of his chtsw. Be rhosertfatr fair m Mb pro fession, and while a younpj practitioner at the bar was elected to the respon sible office of commissioner in equity. The duties of his office he continued to disoharee capably and faithfully until the breaking out of the war- From that time until the war ended bis career is a part of the history of the State. Wherever Gen. Hagood served, during the struggle, he en joyed the trust and confidence of his commanders. Especially did Gen. Lee regard him with favor, as one whh was in military affairs both dashing and safe. What ho was in war he is in public life. In the trying times of 1876, during the crisis of the dual government, when the slightest indiscretion would have lost the cause, he stood by, and next to, Governor Hampton, whose confluence he enjoyed to the full, and w^ich lias grown and strengthened with the years that have passed. In the State Conventions of the Democratic party, in the Tax Unions aud other councils of the people, be was always present, earnestly work ing for the relief of the State. He was one of the delegates of South Carolina to the National Convention of 1868, and the programme which he intro duced in the May Convention of 1876, and known as the Hagood resolutions, gave shape to the policy of the party and blazed out the way for the ever memorable campaign of that year. At the Convention held In August he was nominated as the Democratlo candi date for comptroller general. This office he still holds. FormHy the comptroller-general was little more than a olerk. Now the comptroller’s office is a great fiscal bureau. At the time that Gen. Ha good was elected the office was in a state of unutterable confusion. By skill, patient industry and far-reach ing sagacity, Gen. Hagood has so systdtoatized its working that, in the language of an expert in such matters, the office will now run itself.” It is trua there is no pomp or parade about this office, but a more important one does not exist in the State Govern ment, and if it be true that figures do not lie, they will tell a tale of honor to the present Incumbent and of benefit to the people for many years to come. The Democracy of South Carolina stand on the platform of 1876, which was reaffirmed in 1878. They stand upon it because it is right, and because upon that platform the Democracy have twice carried the State. Re versing the order it may be truly said that we won on the platform cf 1876 because that platform is right. The fate of the National Democratlo party certainly, and of republican institu tions probably, will be determined In the coming Presidentialjeleotion. The Democracy cannot sustain another defeat and retain their strength. Men will not adhere to a party which either cannot or will not win. The two great parties In the United States aro about equal, so far as re gards those who act with the one or the other from principle, but there is a great floating vote, amounting to at least a fourth of the entire voting population, which gravitates to the winning side, when that aide can be determined, and this vote may be call ed the balance of power; it is sufficient at all times to tqrn the scale oue way or another. Let the Republican party succeed in the next election and this vote will aily itself solidly with that party, and a new lease of power Will be granted to that party, and conotuetoos will be with It in vain for tbs next sixteen years, duty he longer. , * * v 4 * • Geo. Hagood stands square upon the platform of 1876 from beginning to end, in full accord with Gov. Hampton and perfect harmony with ail the leading men in the legislature and else where al>out the State who felt and believed that the polity of peace and reconcilation was best for our Sim— that policy which, in four years, has lifted the entire people ont of grind ing poverty and placed them in the full tide of a great prosperity; purified our government in all its departments re-established the ancient honor of the State, retrived a lost civilization, and,’ in a manner, to disarm our common enemies, and put it out of their power to bring one hurtful charge against us. It has been said that Gen. Hagood is not sufficient pronounced in his views. Whatever bis views are some body is sure to find fault with them- He does not expect to please every one. He has nothing to conceal and nothing to disavow; holding still the opinions expressed In his great speech In Charleston In 1878, from which I take the following striking passages: “A century of white domination in the State had shown that it meant honest and economic government. Ten yeare-ot—the domination of the col ored man and the carpet-bagger had brought the State to rnln. When, therefore, we raised the banner in scribed with “Home Rule and Reform” It meant native white supremacy in the government of the State. These werebwt eeovemlhle terme; yet- accomplishment of this purpose was entirely consistent with our pledgee to respect and preserve the vested rights of all our citizens of either race. We sought not to, and did not, deprive any colored man of his vote. We appealed to them as citizens of a common country to aid in its redemp tion; to those who joined us, and were fit for office, we gave a due position on our ticket, and they were elected by white votes. We placed the oolor- ered citizen exactly where the law placed him, alongside of the white citizen, neither in advance or behind him, and conceding to him the Jrlghts i we neld him to the responsibilities of citizenship. We brought to bear upon him the force of superior Intelligence, the power of capital over labor, and the kindly ioflueuoe of two oelturlaa of intimate association. When he was intelligent we reasoned with him; when intelligence was wanting we appealed to his Interest; and when he was vicious we met him with euch legiti mate force as we would meet the vicious white man. Self-preservation iB a right higher than law and older than constitutions. It is God given* and no human decree can take It from the individual or the State.” If there Is one word which better than another expresses Gen. Hagood’s character, than word is “thorough.” Whatever he undertakes to do he does, and whatever he does he does well. As Chief Magistrate of the State he would sec to It that every portion of the State’s work was prop erly done, without ostentation, but in that firm, orderly, business-like man ner which has characterized him through life. The public expenses would be reduced to the lowest living rate, and the State would get a dollar’s worth for every dollar spent. His fine Abilities would be devoted to ex panding, increasing and improving the material resources of the State, pre ferring to regard a firm and stable prosperity pervading all classes of the people, to show; enjoying far more the lappy contentment of a people whose barns aro full, than the pomp and c/rcumstance of office. As a leader of the party for the cam palgn, none better can be found. As an organizer, his equal is doubtless not In the State. Under his guidance the party will do all It can do, and get all It can get Prudent, careful, thoughtful and Industrious, yet on occasions which demand energy he has it and to spare. Modest and retiring, yet in a crisis no man can display more dash than he, as witness his feat on the Weldon Railroad In 1864. In ’any point of view, as man, as candidate, as officer, South Caro lina could choose no worthier eon than Johnston Hagood of Barawell.

Any person who shall hinder, forbid or oppose the overseer In working the roads, or shall obstruct the same with gates fences, ditches or any other obstruotloo, shall be guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not less than five nor more than ten dollars. Whenever any highway is suddenly obstructed, by storm or otherwise the overseer having charge thereof shall immediately summon sufficient force to open and repair the same. If the time required for this work shall be longer than the hands are liable to road duty In that year they shall be entitled to be paid one dollar per day for the excess upon the certificate of the overseer, If in the cose of a sodden obstruc tion of the road the oveiseer fail for more than one day, after being told the same, to have the obstruction removed and open and repair the road he shall be subject to a fine of fifteen dollars, and if any band fall, refuse or neglect to turn out and assist In removing the obstructions he shall be subject to be fine of three dollars—such fines to collected before a trial justice, and ex pended upon the roads In tbs district In which the parties reside.

Proceeding then to lay pat the plan of the lecture, be begged It to be under stood that it was. altogether apart from his porpoee to deprecaU £ood fashion in drees, tie thought ^It was the duty of ev*yy one to cultivate good fashion, and that every woman ought to make herself as becomingly beautiful as she poesibty oonld. Corsets,' wafetbantis, garters and how firmly they are bpund to the Demo- ^Ight shoes were epedally denounced; The dress should be looee, and the weight of It ehould be borne by the shoulders. . In men’s modern drees this was fairly accomplished^ bat in woman’s dree*, dragging frojt tbb waste, there was produced such a waete of physical, power, that if woman Were in all feapeets free aa * men, they covdd never approach to the position of m«u as actlvs workers until they bed emancipated themsei- vee from this phyHcil bondage. The reform he suggested In the drees of woman was that It ahopld tn ^ all practical details have ths earns advantages, aud should be la fact the same, with the exception of the ex terior robe or gown. The long dreiL- or women, which evea trespassed •lightly on the ground, was the most becoming for them. This should play * the same part as tbs outer coat of the than, the rest of the dreee being the sarnie except that it might be made of rather lighter materials. The great surgeon Cline, when onoe con sulted by an anxious mother what •he should do to prevent a girl from becoming deformed, answered; “Let her have no stays, and let bar nm about lue the boya. M Hs would en->- dorse this wise rule, and would adds “Let the mothers of England Clothe 4he girls precisely as tbsy cloths the boys, permitting Knickerbockers if Lhty like and let them add the ona (nanngn.anmg marc CV toe ugnt, loose flowing gown, sad the girls wM grow into Woman as vigorous, as healthy and aa well formed (a body aa their com pan.ous of the sterner sex." In the aex* pert of the lecturo the quality of cloth'og was considered, and the amount at various seasons. The neoeeslty of special care In adapting clothing to eeaeon was illustrated from the pysiologlcal rale first discovered by the tote Mr. Milner, that the body. Independently of ady will of Its own, under* wilt two pounds of waste and of Increase of weight, the waste com mencin'’ towards ths close ef Septem ber, and the in creese in the first weeks Of April. Warm clothing oogbt to be gin In September or early In October, and ought not to be left off nntli the close of April For underclothing next the skin be strongly recommend ed silk, and with that light fleecy flannel. Thick heavy flannel, and •very material that absorbed and held the watery excretions from the skin, were at wll times bad, and had really no connection with warmth. Heavy clothes wera bad, and have really ne*heoeseary connection with warafttu Tor outer gkrmenta In cold weather tfectoe Uf*t wero,: light and ileecy were beift< and fare were excellent. 4. . After describing the dangers that occur In coM seasons from sudden changes of dress, and the flimsy dresses In which .young ladles gold and out the heated ball-room during Inclement weather, the lecturer touch ed on the ventilation of dress, He criticised sever dy the permameot waterproof which shots up the rain that distills from the body at the same time it keeps nth the rain which falls from the clotHs—a distinction with a difference not In favor of the wearer of the permanent waterproof. Then he dwells on the color of dress, con tending ths* the Lancet was quite right instating that white color was the beet even tn cold weather, while lr was admitted the beet In the summer seasons. The objection to white was, of course, the readiness with which it showed the dirt, an objection which Has strictly an advantage In a health point of view, but which would be met practically by modifying the color to gray. For all ordinary oeaaslons light gray ought to take the place of black for outer covering of the body. Black was, In fact, of all colors the very worst, {and those poor ladlee who thought It necseary after bereavement to immerse themselves for mootbafn crape were Indeed to be pitied. After the eottee, it was almoet the aaddeet of miseries Inflicted bf noWety* on the RhL f-a i J&fSttk and doesn’t tMflR ihfle bolts cab pre vent those tickets from election, bat then there is another difficulty to avoid which every true Democrat ehould constantly aim, and the most effective blows that can be dealt to-, ward overcoming the difficulty alluded to are those meritorious hits at lode- pendentlsm and the difficulty Itself to the tendency that bolts, alias lode- pendenUam, otherwise mean Radical ism, have to bring ont a Republican vote that would otherwise sfTUUate with the Democratic party. Shrewd Radical leaders, if there be any In the land,will be as soon to take advantage of such an opportunity as the oppor tunity presents Itself and will work os rapidly and effectually as tbelr shrewd- ness and energy will permit them to GO.

If the chair men of the various loeal clubs of tbs county could immediately stir up their membership and convince them of ths magnitude of the work to be dons by the Democratlo party everywhere If that party would suoeeed with Its national ticket, that would bring forward all leading men of the party, both ambitious and otherwise, and Woold give each ambfthus man the opportunity of seeing his strength—1 mean in the county—before the con- ventloo, and if he he shtewd enough to lead the party be will likewise be shrewd enough to determine whether It will he wise to submit hto name to the convention to be nominated worthy and strong enough, or defect ed If ambitious and weak enough. De feat In a convention or ptimary elec tion as the case may be will be enough to -convince any sensible politician that It Is certain defeat to go Independ ently before the people against the regular nominees, and especially if the convention be held sufficiently late to prevent the unworthy ambitious from With organising a successful holt, eVed the aid of the Radicals. It w'ould very likely be wise for the county to begin canvaseing for the State and national ticket os soon as these tickets are made known through the local clubs, but I should think In my bumble way that it Would be extremely no wise to have an qptrly County Conven tion, and my grpnnds for that opinion are aim pis and plain; If the conven tion were to meet early and make Its nominations it would give ample time to the dissatisfied and disappointed candidate to organize a very dangerous bolt, which, of course, It is hoped would not ooeur, though the ohancee are that It would. Another ground I will give for the convention being held late lo the campaingn Is thto: That If the State and National canvass begin early after the meeting of the State Convention It will stir the Democracy and get them Interested In politics and Insure a large representation at the conventions, making Its aetton much more acceptable with the people—the masses I mean—than if but a few politicians met and acted as a oonven tion before the masses begin to think of the compatgn, for the majority o the people would be dissatisfied with the nominations, though they might be made in the very beat faith. Men do not like to vote for or In Soy way support a candidate in whose nomina tion they bad no band. Perhaps yon may hear from me ■gain later on toward the convention. HoNsrr OrarxoN.
