THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THUKSDAV, AUGUST 12, 1886 DEVON AM* » EVANS. EDITOR. The proceedings of the State con vention, a synopsis of w hich we give this week, shows that it was one of the most conservative Democratic bodies, that has ever assembled at Colombia since 1876 The delegates seem to have been selected with onosaal care, and their work was characterized by an earnestness ot purpose, a fixed determination to perform the business for which they were called, in the best interests of the whole State. The questions which have been agitating the minds of onr people for nearly two years, the farmers’ movement, free tnition, abolition of the Citadel and other like measures, had no place among the proceedings. The action on the primary question as to Con gressional and State elections, and the calling of a oonstitntional con vention, is shown in the work given in another column. South Carolina has reason to congratulate herself on the tact that her citizens are Itill in favor of that wise conserva tive coarse which has always been her characteristic, when she calls her citizens together to deliberate for the good of the body politic South Carolina lias -taken no back ward step in her march to financial and intellectnal prosperity. The ticket elected is a good one, and will be received with general satis- fadtion all over the State. It repre sents no political clique, it is nar towed to no section, and the differ ence of opinion held by the gentle men nominated, on the questions which have agitated the State, will not influence them as individuals* when they pass the ranks of private life to accept itosilious of honor or trust as officers ot the State. Every true Democrat should congratulate South Carolina that she is not yet prepared to divide her grand De niocracj on any question, and for this reason we should throw up our hats and barrah for “Long life to South Carolina Democracy.” Congressional Convention. Just as the town bell struck 12, Hon. Geo. W. Brown, Democratic District Chairman, called the con ventiou to order in Allen’s Halt, where two and four years ago the congressional convention of the 6th Diatriot had met.

A Baer, Superintendent ot the Florence graded school, has been procured as chief instructor, whose long ex perience in institute work, will give those who attend a most excellent opportunity of deriving full benefit from the lnstitu:e. Besides Prof. Baer’s record at Florence, he has lately closed a most successful ses sion of the Normal Institute in Mar ion. Of his work before he came to our State, Mr. Henry Henck, Deputy State. Superintendent of Pennsylvania, says: *‘1 am intimately acquainted with Prof. Samuel A. Baer, Pb.

Since then ho was Professor of Latin, Greek and History in the State Normal School at Kutztown, Berks county ; Comity Superintendent of Berks six years, and Superintend ent of Reading three years. In all these positions he served with great credit, end for years he has been known as' one of the most promi nent and successful educators in the State. His work as instructor at Teacher’s Institutes has beeu very practical and highly apprecia ted. His moral character is above reproach.” Agricultural Society. The Society met qt the Fair Grounds and was called to order by the President, W. 11 Evans; W. E. James, secretary and treasurer, present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

After other routiue work was done, the cotiveutiaii took a recess until 4 o’clock, at which time the couven tion re-assembled. After raping the convention to order, Gen.

Hat summons have come to him from all parts of South Car li- ua. aud he w ill not turn a deaf ear ear to that call. Seldom, gentle men does the conservative Pee Dee ask for representation on the S.ate ticket. It asks it now for noun- worthy man. In war oriu the civic halls of peace, his manliness and virtue is well known. In coiiclnsi m, Mr Brown read the resolutions ot the Dailiugton Democracy urging the nomination of Mr. Coker. Mr. J. W. Moore, of Hampton, seconded the uomiaglioii of Air. Coker. Mr. Henderson, of Aiken, spoke as follows: We are here assembled as the representatives of the Deni ooracy of South Carolina.
