.OCAL ITEMS. TVE!,YDAY, JULY 0, 1878. New Advortiseients. Nomination for Sheriff. Citation-O. B. Thompson. Fresh Turnip Seedfj-McMaster & Brice. Bank Report--T. K. Elliott, Cash ior. Town Ordinance--Wm. N. Chand.. ler, Clerk. "May your troubles only be little ones, and may you always have Dr. Bull's B iby Syrup hanly," said an old bachelor to a nowly-married couple. * The dinner given for the benefit of the Confederate Monument was in every way a success. The viands were choice, varied and abundant, and everybody who dined at the Hall seem to enjoy the feast. We understand that a very handsome sum was realized. SALEM DEMOCRATIC CLUB.--A meet ing of Democrats was held at Salem church, on the 29th of June, for the purpose of organizing a club. An organization was effected, and the following officers elected by acclamation :-. President-J. R1. Boyles. Vice Presidents--Thos. Wilkes, Jr., and J. Ml. Owings. Secretary-W. J. Keller. Treasurer-W. T. Pettigrew. The second Saturday in July was designated as the next time of meeting, at which the committees will be appointed and other business transacted. This Club already numbers over thirty members, and will increase. THE ('OI.ORED FIREMEN.-The Hook and Ladder Company was out for parade on the Fourth, and present ed a fine appearance. After march ing through town, the company repaired to the grove in rear cf Capt. Jno. Smart's residence, and enjoyed a fine dinner. On return ing to town the men went through several evolutions with their hooks and ladders, and displayed great skill and agility. The officers are now supplied with handsome trumpets. In this connection, we are requested to publish the follow ing: The Winnsboro Hook and Ladder Company return their sincere thanks to the citizens of Winnsboro for theie kind lhberality in assisting the Company towards getting trumpets for the officers. JNo. D. SMART, J. B. MOMILLAN, President. Secretary. The Cedar Creek Club. The regular meeting of this club was hold at Dunlap's mill on Satur day, President J. 8, G*unnell in tihe chair. Several visitors were pres ent by invitation. Major T. WV. Woodward was asked to address the club, which he did in a few well timed remarks. He con gratulated the people on the magnificent results achieved by the last campaign, and pic6ured the changes that had taken place since then. He 'was glad to see the sp)irit displayed by the people of Cedar Creek in organizing a club, and congratulated1 them on having a little leaven from Greenbrier. He urged his hearers to stick firmly to the grand principles of the party, leaving aside all small innues such| .as the fence-law and other unim.e portant questions, Capt. H. A. Gaillard then, by request, addressed the club. In the .condition of the State the party must look alone to principle--the question what particular individuals should represent them was of com. parative insignificance. Hie bie lieved it was right for the people to ask their representatives to give -an account of their stewardship. Hie than reviewed briefly the course of the Legislature; and concluded by counseling unanimity in ~ the party, congratulating them that no grave qunestion divided the Denootiacy of Fairfield, but that the organIsation is in full accor'd. . Dr .S oisr nezt6 spoke. IHe salsi there are no grave issues before te #opIe, The O ht 'had 9 tqii 167O~ whfn~ ~a spite of an overwhelming- Republican vote, against the maclhiner;; of tho State government, against the whole power of the Federal gov ernment, the people of Sou;h Caro lina triumphed. We are now on joying the fruits of that victory. To fully reap these benefits the party must be a unit during the present campaign. There must he no faltering and no divisions. Mr. R. Means Davis then made a few remarks on the situation, and showed that the Federal elections are also of great importance, as the election of a president in 1880 may bingo upon the complexion of the next House of Represont:atives. In conclusion he urged a full vote at the primaries and a solid support of the party nominations. The club then proceeded to business. The amendments pro posed by the County Convention were unanimously ratified. The club then adjourned to the n.xt r egular meeting. FErAS TERVILLR R ESOLUTIOS. Two Letters From Gentlemen who Advocate the Views Therein Ex pressed. Mn. D. R. FEASTER's LETTEr. .Messrs.J Itdora NEwS AND HERALD: We in this benighted "Corner" have been favored recently with two com munications signed Fair Play, one of which was a citicism of the Reso - lutions passed by Feaster ville Democratic Club ; the other, a reply to a communication wh'ch appeared in your p.tper, sig ned, J Hendrix McL.io. The object of this article is simply to correct au error into which "Fair Play" and a groat many others seem to have fallen ; I say here that J. Hendrix McLane was not the author of the Resolu tions, in fach was the only man in the Club that opposed them, which he did with all his might, but they were passed notwithstanding his assurance that they would meet with the reception they have, by the un thinking ; what did J. Hendrix McLane do after these Resolutions were passed ? Get in a lit of sulks at a great many do ? No, he had the manhood to say that he voted against the Resolutions but as the Club had adopted them, that he was with us, heart and soul in the move ment ; and he since that time has proved "his faith by his works.' As to Mrs. "Fair Play" (I am san guine that it must be a woman) dubbing our Resolutions "A New Crusade" and calling J. Hendrmix McLane "A Modern Nazarene" it is simply begging the question, and shows that she is devoid of ar'gu mont, to sustain her position, or rather in assailing ours, and has to resort to ridicule ; and the success that I see she hais met with, is to make horself supremely ridiculou s in the eyes of all thinking people, and those that are capable of dis tinlguishing between argument and nonsenlse. I feel that I have subject ed mnyself to the anger and the scorn of the fair women of old Fairfield, (and theore is none fairer,) by calling "Fair Play" a woman, but I beg to assure thoem that I do not mean them any disrespect ; the principal reason for my deoming "Fair Play" a woman isi thiat I scarcely thlink that any man in Fairfield would have replied to a communioation signed by the r'eal name of the writor thereof, in the manner which Fair Play did, with - out signing 1his real name. Can it be possible that suchl is a fact ? . D. R. FEAsTan. Feasterville, July 8, 1878. Mr. J. H~endrix MoLane's Letter. Af6sar8. .&ditore: Gentlemen, The diffusion of knowledge among an enslaved people is all that is no-~ cessary to prepare an avenu~e through which thoy can pass out from a condition of servitude into the freeman's ltingdom. Thle same tihing with full propriety I here ap ply to the agriculturista of this contry, at large, as well as to this indi.vidual State. and it is not at all unnatu1ral for some of those enslaved, to hold on with education al tenacity to their habits of slavery, anIci when the time for their delivr IfnQe somes. to ,mUVnm. .2 those who are ml"nfully makin' war with their oppr,,,;ors. But as soon as victory sniles upon tho great work of heroie reformners, all is well, weak kncs beCo-l strong, m1ur nuliriln:s Cease, u.nd we(' d.we is heard comnint up from ev(r q1lu;lrter, nook and co'nlet', /'rah o'j Ia'se is trimpltfientt, 'we ira e Iilled te bear. So it is no liscouragement, to the people of Fo-isterville, in this farmers movement, to shake off the shackles of oppression riveted on them, by pernicious legislation, and to revolt at the virulent influ-. enco of the heinous practico of liti gation, which together are crushing us, and our calling into thedirt, and which threatens to bankrupt every member of the agrioulturiul ranks, and to make serfs of them, and I eir posterity after them, for all time to come. 0:1 I would to G. 1, I could ride through the aorial realms in a chtriot of w tirhvin:l, and coal d raise my voice like a trumpet of thunder, I would cry out, and s.ty, A WAKE, AWAKE, AWAKE, brother farnirs to know your ap palling condition. A (>d ti rough the instrunentaiity of Moses, comi mnanded the children oc Israel to arise and miarch from under Egyp tnin I'ndLge, so, as stron; l y does Heaven ti "igh the instrumncntality of a disseminati,m of knowlehdge among the laburters and producers of the whole l:m): i, commnand the-u to marshal then ;ulves on(1 and a !, in solid and deterin i t arrty a tin t the o ncomies of labor and agricul.. ture. There is a spirit tife through - out the country. vhicl m1otns to never tire, never beoine dce.:pond out, never give up, until the ill nssos are enlightened and made free. I for one am glad to) say I have en listed in this holy work, and will not rest so long, as I am ;a".le to give it the least aid. I am in possession of some facts, that a gre., itany of my fellow farmers are nit acquaint., ud with, but they shall have thew. I mean by the grace of Heaven to give them the benefit of all I know, or am able to g -tier, until honlest labor hat triumpe d over its tvrants. And gentleomen I hope you wi',1 allow inc reason tIblo splc in your paper occasionally, for iny co,ntribu tions to this good work. Y"En gonl tlenen should feel much concern in the ameliorat.)m an I prosperity of agriculture. I know you are i deuti fied is Lawyers with a system or p rofession, that is antagonistic to the protection and development of agriculture. But one thing gentle men, as sure as God sends us to morrow, unless the farmers of this country are speedily re''eved from the mighty wrongs that are daily practiced upon them, you will soon have no use for a Ilewsapier. It will die for want of supporters. When I replied to "Fair Play's" first letter, I politely asked Li e Lawyers in the name of the 'e.ster ville peoll, to moot us in this thing, in friendly discussion. Thinking, the negotLiaitions were being made wvitn, one of the exponents of whom. that had the manhood at Io ist to atpprociato the im innor in which the invitation was ofi'red, but the poo creature has insuilted ou r courtesy by his brainless braying. Yet "I still challenge them to the contest wvith the samfe good feelings of respect, that characterized iy first invitation.' NOw gentlemnan it 1f ty appear that I htave madtce somei bold advances, antd used some stroung as sertions, the s:unoi I admit, and on'y want the opp)ortulnity to adduce ar gunment to support and substantiate them every one, and wvill do it if any responsible party, who objects to thern, wvishes to throw bimisecf in the contest as my opiponent. If the challenge is accepted I ask to, be apprised of it first by private letter, I am willing that the controversy be conducted str'ict rules of civility, candor and honesty, an arran;goment of this kind agreed up)on, and ad here to is all I ask, knowing it will furnish my side, with a mea:ns of producing just such information as our p00opl0 need. Ii m y as wveil gin some of the reasons why we cannot, and think the laboring class, as a whole, should not endorse Mr. Gaillar'd as a rep) resentative, and why wve opipose any practicing L.&wyer's election to .t.he L~egislature. M~r. Gaillard's opposition to Judge Matckey's reelection to the bench in this Juidicitd District, His opposition to the Usury Bill, anid the stand he took on the report of the BIondl Commission, without further enumeration are enough to show that his action in the Legis-. lature was in conflict with the true interests of honest labor. We admit that he is man of honor, arid a gentleman, but these are not the only qualifications to make a good representative, but in addition to these a man must havo a~ full kno)wl edge of what his constituency needs and wants, this knowledge I deny Mr, Gmsilard having, and still rnore, after a main has all these qualificai tions, he should p0ssess enough candor, manhood and nerve; to Ptaud up to theinsu*sand injptiges 16 hi0 e %atinnaa~4 ~i~ anAemm. c'ltno o); coiba'inlati)t.
