fCor. 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.

two horses, mules or oxen three days.
All fines paid for neglect of working,
and commutation in money paid, shall
be expended upon the roads in tbs
district in which the parties reside.
The overseers have authority to cut
down and matte use of any timber,
wood, earth or stone in or near any
road, bridge or causeway for the pur
pose of repairing the same, but not to
cut any trees reserved by the owner of
the land for timber, or planted for
shade, fruit or ornament, either In the
fields, around the epting or about
the dwelling house or appurtenances,
or take dirt or stoae from enclosed
grounds, without the owner’s consent,
In all cases compensation for timber,
cut and used, shall be made to the
o#ner thereof, If demanded by him.
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

The failure of the Democracy to honor

their boundless wrath, and the result

Proceeding then to lay pat the plan of
the lecture, be begged It to be under

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 *

The reform he suggested In the
drees of woman was that It ahopld tn ^

becoming for them. This should play *
the same part as tbs outer coat of

the sarnie except that it might be
made of rather lighter materials. The

becoming deformed, answered; “Let

very likely be wise for the county to
begin canvaseing for the State and

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

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

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
