They passed a lot of reSOtiu tioils, whicI, we pubIbsh elsewhere. AIlOng other tings they demand a primary from the August Convention. The News and Courier says this de mand cannot be disregarded, anl that to elect delegates onil any other pltl will cause a split in the party. We do not kn1ow for whon the News and Courier ses ii, but is would smcni to mean that it tlt A.ugust Convention does not order a primary election for the delegates to the September Con vention that it will refuse to oceept the itominatiu:l of tie etel;unieI Con vention. Thee s 1!'.-ns I.> inot obtain amongst the vLite people of thi., see tion unless we are very much mistaken. We are opposed to the nomination of B. I. Tillant: a1ni do not approve of his methods. and intend to stand there until the battle is lost "r won, but we are all Democrats, ami a tonventioll of the people asseibled is supreme, and as true Democrats ant v.bite men, we must abide by what it does. If it nominates B. It. Tillan we must take the dose though it he bitter, and wait for time to make things right. That is the way we understanid true anld straightout Democracy. The News and Courier is old enough and ought to be wise enough not to indulge in such talk. The party cannot be split. Tilluan or anti-Tillman, the Democratic party must stand together, and all independents, splitters and bolt ers must he sent to the rear. The Democratic party in South Car olinla is the white muan's party. V e know the consequences of a divisionl in the ranks. It looks now as if theTillmanl mn will control tile Aulgust Convention, and if they do it is very evident that they will not adopt the primary. If they do not, in otur opinion, it will be a square repudiation of the principle for which they claim to have beet) tighting. Be that as it muav what the convention does we mtst accept. Trhere are scores of tmen in South Carolinia that we had rather see Gv ernor thlan B. R. Tilhuan. The more we hlave seen and read of this cam paign, the more stronlgly we have been impressed with the opinionl that there are many Democrats in South Carolina who are better .titted for Governor than Tiliman. But in otr government the majority must rule, and the minority must submit, however strongly it may feel that the majority is wrong. Brattoun and Earle have made a b)rave fight and quitted themselves like men, and have shown.the reckless charges of Tillmian to be without foun dation. They have done their duty. If the August Convention decides against p)rimuary we must accept that as5 final. If the September Convention, a coniventioni of tihe people, nominate II. I. Tilhuan we mhust accept that and hlelp elect him. But neither has yet been done. Until lhe is nominilated we ihave thle right to op)pose' him inl a fair, square and manly way. The Herald and Newvs hats been con sistent in this matter, and has tried to advocate peace and harmony, and tol erationi1 fr the opinionus of one another hionestlyV formeud antd fairly expressedl. We fear that -omletimes extreme men ! on1 both1 sides forget that we are brothers anid thaut we are lnot eniennhes, but that we tire all working for the good of our state. That thoughe dit1ter, .still we are contscientiouis in n, an'd that every man has a right to his ownVi opinlions. A!t the same time let us renmemnber that the imijority mutlst rutle. If a maoiority of~ tile delegates to the Augunst ( 'omventwa I are inl favor of a nrimnary we will have it, if not we will not ha ve it. li a mlajority ini the Sep temiber ( onvento are ini favor of Tillman for* (Govt rnor, he will he nom nated: if noi t he will1 not be nlom)inated. In either event we mLust accept what the conventilon <h,es and help elect whoever is nomiunated. This is our dluty as white men and Democrats. "Uni:ed weU stanid, div\idedl we fall."'

There will be need for lemocrats to get together before the N%ovmlber elections.

I.. thts VC;.y. Tile delegates to the County Conven ion which was held here on last Fri Jay began to come in early and it was uxon apparent that the Convention was going to be well attended. About half past. v o'clock the Tillman men helb a aUcu's in the oftiet of l%-ase & l'lease :o arrange the work they propose<i to have the Convention to do. 1". V. [apers presided and C. L. Blease acted is secretary. They held an election for ielegates and determined upon the Dther work of the Convention, all of which was done. We were not present at the caucus and do not speak by au thority, but we are informed that the matter of selecting members of the Legislature was also discussed but no ticket was decided upon. Upon the motion of County Chairman W. 1). Hardy, who was in the caucus, a propo sitioni was made that all the Tillman clubs in the county meet on the 2;d inst., and have a ballot for a Senator and three Representatives, and that they elect one delegate for every tell members of the clubs to atteni a cou vention, or caucus, to be held here on the 25th inst., to tabulate this vote by the various clubs, and that those re ceiving a majority should be placed in nomination as the farmers' ticket. This proposition met with some opposition but we understand was carried by the caucus, although several members of the caucus were not present. We only mention this matter and will not coi ment on it., for we do not speak by au thority, but we do not think our infor mation is far wrong. It was the consen sus of opinion of the caucus, however, to select Tillman supportes as members of the Legislature. As for other county officers they propose to support the men best fitted for the place. At eleven o'clock the caucus ad journed and marched in a body to the Court House where the Convention as sembled. At five minutes past eleven o'clock on last Friday County Chairman W. D. Hardy called the County Convention to order and nominated Jos. L. Keitt as temporary Chairman, who was elected. The enrollment of delegates was then had. [We give elsewhere in this report the complete roll with the "aye" and "no" vote on the primary question and will not duplicate it here.] The Chairman stated that he under stood there were contesting delegations from Townships 2 anad 5. and he asked the delegates fron those Townships to get together and apportion the repre sentation of the delegates among the several clubs as the constitution pro vided. The representation from No. 5 was settled by the delegates themselves. A new club had been formed in that township since the last Convention and they where given representation. This new club is composed of Anti Tillman man, and it was reported they would be denied representation be cause at the opening of the campaign they had joined a club. In No. 2 the Tillman mien, who belonged to Mt. Bethel Club, were in the minority and had withdrawn since the last Conven tion and joined Mulberry Club, and this latter club claimed one delegate that had heretofore belonged to Mt. Bethel. The Secretarf began the call of the roll, but Delegate S. Pope thought the contest from No. 2had better be settled. Delegate T.~ WV. Keitt said that the delegates from No. 2 had decided that Mulberry Club was entitled to the delegate, but he preferred that Ithe matter be left to the Convention to settle. D)elegate A. J. Gibson said he desired to make a statement, but the Chair ruled him out of order as there was nothing before the house. He thought, however, that he was entitled to be heard. Delegate S. Pope said there was no use to make statements until the mat ter was brought up before the house as there was nothing now before the house. 1)elegate W. H. Hunt, Jr., moved that a committee of five be appointed on credentials but it received no second. Delegate Geo. B. Cromer said that the Convention was not organized and the proper syay wvas to have the roll called of the delegates over wvhich there was no contest. The Chair said the point was well taken and the call of the roll was pro ceeded with. After the roll had been called, D)ele gate S. Pope moved that a committee of one from each township, except No. 2, be appointed on credentials, which motion was adopted, and the Chair ap pointed the following committee: Township No. 1--W. H. Hunt, Jr. "3-Moorman RufY. "4-Jno. W. Scott. "5-W. C. Sligh. "6-1. M1. Smith. " " 7-P. H. Koon. - " 8-Frank Moon. " " 9-F. V. Capers. " " 10-J. A. Riser. " " 11-Ben. Halfacre. Delegate WV. H. Hunt, Jr., read the following report as the action of the committee, which report was adopted on the motion of Delegate S. Pope: The committee on credentials ap pointed to consider the apportionment of delegates representing the two cltubs in No. 2 Township, beg to repcrt that representatives of the two clubs ap peared before the comlmittee and pre sented their club rolls; Club No. 1 hay ing a roll of 29 miembers, and No. 2 a roll of 82 imenmbers. According to the rolls Club No.1I is entitled to three dele gates, and No. 2 is entitled to 9 dele gates. The only question made before the committee was as to the right of ~ertauin imecmbers to withdraw from Club No. I and go into Club No 2. As the constitution is silent on the point, and as the miembersof Club No. 1, who withdrew did so before delegates were elected to this Convention, we recomn mend that delegates representing them be seated. Delegate S. Pope moved that the temporary President be made the per manent President, which motion was unanimously adopted. Delegate S. Pope moved thait County Chairman W. D. Hardy be elected \ice-~resident. Adopted. Delegate Jno. W. Scott miovedl that Jas. S. McCarley be elected Assistant ecretary, which was adopted. No temporary Assistant Secretary was lected although Mr. McCarley acted in that cap)acit-y. Delegate S. Pope moved that the rules of the House of Representatives ~overn the deliberations of the Con ven ion, and that no delegate be permitted :o speak but twvice to any question and hat no speech be longer than five ninutes without u nanimoous consent. Adopted. Delegate J. R. Irwin then"nonminated he following delegates and alternates .o the August State (Convention: J. A. Sligh, WV. 1). Hardy, .J. T. Dun ?an, F. V. Capers, S. Pope, J. L. Keitt, J. W. Scott, J. L. Hughey. Alter oates-P. H. Kooni. C. L. Blease, E. S. [. 1. Smith. (. G. DeWalti J1. B. Fel Before taking his seat he read the he same names from another sheet of aper, only in different; order, a'nd ominated them as delegates to the september State Convention, subject o the action of the August Conven ion. These delegates had already ben elected by the caucus mentioned .bove and it was only necessary to atify that action in the Convention. Delegate C. T. Wyche, there being o other nominations, moved that the ules be suspended and that these gen lemen be elected by acclamation, and I was done. The Chair: ~toted that the obicL of this election was to get delegates to both State Conventions. The Chair also stated tiat this Con vention was called to elect delegates to both State Conventions and that having been done, if thfre was any other busincs it conild now be brought forward. Delegate W. G. Peterson moved that the Convention adjourn sinc dic, but the motion was withdrawn. Delegate Jas. McIntosh thought it well to give the delegates some instruc tions as to the primary as that was the question the State Convention was called to determine. All the candi dates had agreed to a primary and were demanding it on the stunip. This thing of having one plan one year and another plan another year lie thought was calculated to create discord. and lie therefore moved that the delegates to the August State Convention be in structed to vote for a primary. Delegate S. Pope said that the Coun ty Convention which met here on the 2tth of .June had already passed upon that very question. The facts stare us in the face that the platform of the March Convention demanded a pri mary; Capt. Tillman in his Ridgeway speech demanded a primary, but the State Executive Committee that met a few days after this refused to grant these denands, and now forsooth at this late day, after victory is ours, they cry for a primary. Before this August Conveution was called two counties had already elected their delegates to the September State Convention and other counties have also elected dele gates. This question has already been passed upon by us in Convention and I miove to table the resolution. Delegate W. H. Hunt, .r., said that they ought not to cut off debate. Delegate Jas. McIntosh said that the primary was the very thing they had been asking for and now t he gemitlemian proposed to choke oft debate. Delegate S. Pope thereupon with (rew his motion to table to permit Delegate Hunt to speak. Delegate W.H. Hunt, .Jr., said lie had not intended to make a speech but he thought it was a tinie for Democrats to reason together. Let us discuss this matter as brothers, as Democrats and as patriots, deeply interested in the welfare of South Carolina. That there is widespread discontent amiong our people no one can deny. What is the causeof this discontent? What is self government? It is that every man be permitted to cast his vote for the nan of his choice. What is the principle that has stirred the people fronu the mountains to the sea? In my opinion, said the speaker, it is a priniary now or a primary never. If it is good enough for us in 1S92 it is good enough for us in 1790. All the candidates for Gov ernor are demanding a primary thih year and in the interest of peace and harmony the speaker thought the pri mary should be adopted. Delegate Jno. W. Scott said that hc agreed with his friend Mr. Hunt that we should stand together as friend, and as Democrats and discuss this ques tion fair and square. Why were the men who have been opposing the pri mary wanting it now. We have been wanting primary but now the othei side wants it. There was something wrong. We can now see victory it sight. Tillnan can be seen in thf Governor's chair in Columbia and w< say we are not going to submit to s primary now. We do not propose t< be gagged. Delegate J. A. Sligh said lie agreed with the gentlemen, and that we shouk discuss this question deliberately and without excitement. We are all onw brotherhood. Disagreements have ex. isted heretofore. Why should any man say that we would bolt the party. Why should the men who suppor1 Tillman be called independents. They are true Democrats. If there is any splitting it will be the chip splitting from the log. As to the p)rimnary: We~ are committed to it in the platform oi the March Convention. I have ad. vocated it since 187(. I believe it is just and I am an advocate of it to-day. But circumstances alter cases. Dc alter them materially. The March Convention adopted a platform, one plank of which demanded a primary. The Executive Committee met and had that platform before it. Why didn't it give us a primary'. Answer that. Instead the Committee ordered a Convention to meet in September.I an told that only one member voted for primary at that meeting. [Dele gate Pope: "They deny that."] Delegate Jas. McIntosh interrupting, said that Gary was present and Hoyt comes out in a card and says the mat ter was discussed anid he voted with the rest of the comnmittce. Sigh resuming, that is the point, th( question was made. Earle uegan te agitate the question on thme stump and demand a primary when he sawv hh chances where gone. We want liar mony in the party now and a primlary would be dangerous now. The cam paign has gone on and every thing points to the Convention. He thought he was conservative. If we had a pri mary now it wvould be the hottest time we ever had. All kinds of election eering would be resorted to. In the interest of Democratic supremiacy and harmony and peace he was opposed tc the primary now. WVe are not tc blame for it. We want one in 18.9 but cannot yield to-day. When we meet in August and the "Antis" find the case is hopeless they will yield and all will be peace. It is in the interest of Democracy not to have a primary now. He said he did not speak as a partisan, but as a lover of his State. Delegate Pope renewed his imotion to lay on the table. Delegate McIntosh demianded the "ayes" and "noes", and the Secretary proceeded to call the roll. The vote is given in dletail herewith. There were ] 7 ayes anid 42 noes.

It is a remarkable fact how many peoph: in this world love to be with n 1:* tlh'y thilnk is the mnajo(rity, and ou what they think is the popular side. They had rather drift with the current than resist the stream. Espe cially is this the case with those who desire office, and it is very natural, too, for in this great country of ours it is pre-1nw1d that the majority rule, and i a mn:211 w:ants office he must get wh jen. ht can secure the most" votes. Soei try to ride the fence until they can determine upon which side to get, others do not mind changing sides. In this little family quarrel we have been having there has been some fence rid ing and some hopping over, but by this time we suspect most of the boys have "lit." Friend Bacon, of the Edgefield Chronicle, has a young friend who has been taking notes on this subject. We very much fear that Brother Tilllan is not going to have offices enough to go round, and if he lops ofF all those he says he will, it will be too bad for many who cannot be supplied. But in Newberry the lines have been pretty sharply drawn, and there has not been much chance for fence riding. At any rate we do not know of any, at least not lately. Here is what Editor Bacon says on th's sub ject: We have a young friend who is an ant-Tillman man, and who amuses us im.1etsely day by day by informing us who has finally "lit." This refers to men in our own community, who have been long agonizing on the fence, the sharp and jagged fence, but who have finally "lit"-on the Tillman side. Many have been rudely torn by cruel splinters in their long and un I a )py ride; and, alas! even after they ha:e "lit," they do not find rest. Should Ben Tillman be elected-and it certainly looks now as if he would gangrene and blood-poison will be fearfully wide-spread throughout Edge field. Ben has not, nor can he make offices enough to go round; and the majority of his men who do not get oflice, will be seized immediately with gangrene or blood-poison. Ben's "lep rosy'' among the State officials will be a very light matter compared to the gangrene and blood-poison among Ben's unrewarded henchrien. The Hampton Guardian contains the announcements of fifty-one candidates for the various offices. There is no end to the patriots who are willing to serve the dear people. It is right that it is so. Nothing like having plenty from which to select. We understand that the Tillman men have selected Wm. A. Courtenay, of Charleston, as the man they expect to nominate on their ticket as State Treasurer, and that it is understood that he will accept the position. He is selected on account of his financial ability and to secure his influence in refunding the State debt. *Whether this is correct or not we will not venture to say. We have been so informed. Col. J. B. O'Neall Holloway, now a citizen of Orangeburg County, but a native of Newberry and a graduate of Newberry College, is prominently spoken of by the press of Orangeburg as a suitable man for the Legislature. Orangeburg could do no better than to send him, and in honoring him she would honor himself. He is capable, intelligent, well informed, and would make a good legislator. Now that it seems to be the plan and purpose of the supporters of Capt. Tillman to repudiate the primary this year and to have the convention; it seems to us that it is time for Capt. Tillman to stop talking about self-gov ernment and advocating this plan on the stump. He made the first speech of tbe campaign at Greenville, on June 10th, and on that occasion earnestly advocated the primary and urged the County Chairman of Abbeville, Col. E. B. Gary, who was present, and the County Chairman of Greenville, who was also present, and directed an ap peal to a member of the Executive Committee of Anderson, who was pres ent, to urge their respective counties to have primaries for delegates to the State Convention. He has advocated the same thing in every other speech he has made, but it seems now that it is determined that the Convention is good enough for this year. If so, then he should stop advocating what he does not want. Circumstances do alter cases; there can be no question about that. As we understand the action of the conference held in Columbia last week, they did not threaten to do anything in case the August Convention did not order a primary, except to hold another meeting to consider the situation. The p'lan of the Tillman men to elect the same delegates to both August and September conventions is being carried out by the various counties in which conventions have been held. They are determined to make the thing sure wherever they can. That is politics. THE THREE C.'S. Eerything I"ovely and the Contractors Pushing the Work Mr. Ben Hampton, contractor on the Three C's, called to see us Tuesday and re ported that the entire grading het wen Rutherfordton and Marion had been completed. Messrs. Jackius & Crosby, also Maj. Adams, had tinished grading and dressing their sections. Four and one half miles of track were laid and surfaced. Delay in securing enough laborers had retarded track laying, but1 it is now thought that the remaining1 twenty-one miles to Marion will be1 fin ished by August 1st, if the supply of steel rails is not exhausted.
