For wbat e uaelliry c.in- not truthfully say, but like a child when asked »hy he did this wrong thine, answers ‘•cauee.” Tiiere is m Mrn .v,::I any be coileeted for tb* State; 2. In order are issued. There never was such character w ith a soul tilled wit uroes injustice done an officer, and ^? ,,or ““d agt-nt eman^of extraor- 1 s.y right here that there is no the appearance ot troth in it. .My bo ks are subject to inspection by an-. on«* in the coanty who doubts my sutemmf, and I will take plea mi re in spending a day show ing up at any time. But let me tell you where the trouble is. Toe books of our county are iu a most deplorable fix. There is 8180,000 tbst some indulgence may be granted tboee who fail to msk* payment at tbe proper time. Tbe percentage of (he taxes collected ia some other countie* which will enjoy tb* benefit* of thie extension is just as high at tbst wkieb has been coileeted in Darling ton. If we are to be doprirel of ibis priv ilege simply on tb* ground ibsl tbe Treas urer bs* collected abo.it all lbs taxes it i* | pcesiule for him to get, then it teems to us tbst the interests of tbe private iedieid aa! are lost sight of ia considering tho** effect for the taxes of 1886. When | this time expired, December 15, my books were paid up at well as any previous years, aud 1 saw no rea son myself for any eiten»ioo. The peniU'sites arising from extendons are really an annoyance to the Treasurer rather tbau a paying scheme. f» r the delinquiocy of our county is generally poll tax, due by negroes whom you are com|»elled j to i un down iu mos: lasea with a warrant. T .ere is auoth- r iep irt being cir- j cul.ded ia the co tut y ihat 1 am to LOCAL POLITICIANS. Vie have said that a Primary a'- ways has a wholesome effect upon tbs defeated candidate, in as muck as bs is prevented from inveighing against tbe vedict of “the dear peo ple” themselves; but this phase of the subject requires a more ex:en d ed consideration than we have yet given it. Iu almost every com munity there is a prominent tigarc, who is so well known to us all that it is almost unnecessary to desciibe him. A man of somewhat belter ta'ents aod opportunites than bia neighbors, he it is who ha* the most to say when they are callt d together in club meetings. With out the walls of the sanctuaty on Sunday morning, before preach ing begins, he holds iu w rapt at tention his group of admirers, wtitle he relates to them tbe latest politi cal news of tho day, aud acquants them with the iutrigues which are trauspiring iu the more thickly populated centres. Taken all iu all, such a man often basin him the ele meats of tbe highest citizenship, but they hare never been nmuilested by reason of tbe disappointments which have attended his political career, aud the causes to which he attributes them. In these conclus ions be is always endorsed by his respectable following of local ad mirers, who, year alter year, when their chief comes homo from the County Convention with d feat written acrosa his trailing banueis, lend ready ears to the doleful re- citial which he makes of the politi cal “trades” aud combinations” ot which he h s been the victim. Morally convinced that h » merits entitle Inin to hold office, he is in censed that others do not view tin} matter in the same light, and tie immediate circle of admirers whom we have described begin lo share the bitterness which he feels. Thus it is that one who combines within himself many of the qualitiuatious which go to make up a good citi zen, ia warpid and soured by the treatment which he receives, unul be becomes a veritable obstruc tionist. But let Mm meet do eat before the Primary once, aud mark tbe difforenoe I M ost salutary is the effect upon him, aud he ia for cibly impressed with the fact that he ia not the leader he imagines himself to be. If he is a man of sense, aa ia usually the case with hiss whom we have described, he w It promptly realize the utter futility of objectiug to the fiat of the people, aud with this damper thrown upou bia auibitiou, he ao c/pta the inevitable, aod becomes the useful citizen that nature in tended him to be. EXTI THE tbal, for lOH OF TIME FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES. It will be remembered two successive years, Darlington hit been the ouly Oounty in tbe State which has been exempted from tbe extension of lime which was allowed by the Legislature for the payment of taxes; aud that ou both ojcmIobs we of the Stale It does cot look fair oa the wor lj p ro er fy an( \ 1^00 taxes in f ma*a. ftf 11 fismi ftem mme* cm r< n r> • cr I *»r» t-T t ft (act ef it that tbe man wbe o»glec.ed to pay bit taxes sbonld now hive tbe penal- ties heapei upon him without any oppor tunity of retrieving bimaolf, simply be cause be is not fortunate enough lo be lieiag ia Marlboro’ or in Cbosteifield, or Marioa, or Horry. All efforts on our part, however, to obtain some explanation of this matter was in vain ; bat we are glad to see from the correspondence published elsewhere that tbe ap proaching Prim try was the meaus of accomplishing what we so sig nally failed iu. The people now ha re the whole matter plainly set before them, and can judge of its merits for themselves. diuary alul'iy as Mr. Dargau, should be asked by every true Democrat to stay and let your light still shine, not only in the 6th district but in South C.troliua aud also these United States. •Justice. Florence, S. C-, July 17:b, '88. A PRELIMINARY CANVASS. The Coanty Executive Commit tee have made one mistake. They should h ive adopted a role tequtr- mg eVery candidate lor office to ad dress U-e people of the County on tho various public issues of the day. As m»ny ol ih<‘ candidates are com paratively unknown to the people it is imperative that the voters should be afforded an upporunity of le rn iug their views, in older that intelligent ballots may be cast. It is not too late for the Executive Committee to correct this oversigh’. By all means let them hold an ex tra meeting, and outline a programs for a County canvas*, as is done in every otb*T County in the State where the Prm.iry System pre vails.

W. Ed war a, which will clearly and indisputably re lieve me ot the accuoitiou that 1 was the cause of the non extension of taxes last ye ir, and 1 trust will put me right bc'oio the people. Darlington, July 9,1888. At the request ot I) It. Trailer, 1 state that 1 was solely respousi ble for excepting Darlington Coun ty from the provisions of the Act ot the las Legislature extending the time for the collection of taxes 1 did it because ex'endiug time when there is no special reason tor it gets the people into the habit of error ou tbe books, which my set tlement sheets will show. 1 have endeavored every year to correct it as tar as 1 was able. For instance, I tind a piece of property which is duplicated some where else. 1 al- wa\* mark opposite that name on my tax book the error, aud it is the Auditor’s business before making up his new book to take notice of these things and stiike them out. But it never has been done nntil this year, aud 1 think to a great extent this trouble will be less iu the future. Now this continued negligence from ye^r to year by the Auditor's accounts for such a large amount of worthless tax ex ecutions, aud the censure which is unjustly cast upon me aud ot which I am as inuoccnt as a child unborn. All 1 ask is that the tax books be made out correctly aud the tax records will be parallel with the good name of old Darlington. But if otherwise I ask that the blame fall where it belongs. While none can claim perfection iu this world give me justice for tryiug to straighten this matter “if the heav ens fail.” D. H. Trailer, Treas. D. U. M. A HUGGINS, *». F- A. TAYLOR.

And besides, lhat very giant iu intellect—the noble New ton—disputes every inch of ground ou tbe road to the Capi tol. 1 am not David enough lo sling stones at that giant.

(By Tetrgraph to Tbe Darlington News.) Timmousville, 8., C. July 18,6.30 P. M. A caucus of the Farmers’ Movement men was held here to-day in Traxlet’s Hail. The gath ering numbered from forty to fifty, about fourteen townships being rep resented, among which were Swift Creek, Lydia, Stokes’ Bridge, ijaiiar, Caitersville, Eflin^bam, liot-nezer, Timmousvilb, aud Flor ence. Mr. J. W. Beasley presided, Dr. J. O. Byrd acting as receiving offi -er. Nothing of political conse quence is believed lo have been (tone. Only members of the Exe- cnlive Committee of the County Farmers’ Association aud some ot the candidates were admitted to the caucus, aud the rest of the members of the Association lie tug excluded complain tuat the Exe cutive Committee is not a represen tative body. These dissatisfied paities face tiously style themselves “The Lower House.” They let out some things, alleging that the Committee is picket!; that the Farmers’ Associa tion will be defunct by the fall, and that the o d Tillman Movement is now merged into the Farmers’ Alii auce. They say that the melting is not legitimate,aud lhat therefore it is rather a ring affair; lhat it was called without any if the members knowing its object, and that the leadeis then fell upou certain can didates and admitted them accord- ini; to the “pulse.” The caucus ad journed about five o’clock. The members are as non-committal as Rip Van Winkle mountain *pii’es.

She owed nothing through her Treasurer to the State; almost all taxes bad beeu collected ; her Couuty tax s were the smallest of any County in tbe State save Charleston, aud she is entirely out of debt, with a sur plus iu her tieasuiy. It is a just distiuction to k- *p tier so. This st.<t men i* made in no body’* interest, but simply, to let blame, if tin ie be. a.iy just ground of complaint, rest where it ju tly belongs B. VV. Edwards, Senator. In 1883, 18S4 and 1885, the taxes were called for froin September 1st to October 20th of * each year. 1 never did endorse these dates.as it wm too early in tbe se i*ou fur the people to pay taxes, aud in every instance 1 asked for au extension of time aud always succeeded iu getting 10 or 15day* which brought it to the first (fay of Novemlier, aud everybody was satisfied. The leg islaturatbeu extend d the time two months later, from October 15ib tp 15tb, aud iu tbe very — r--**-— »i~. e wou m while he and some other exhibit their gladiatorial skill iu tin con text lor the very desirable office of Clerk of the Court. Aud when my till, as it happens to bejust now, is well nigh empty, the office of Treasurer presents a tempting prize to my uplifted gize. The woods is full of men, however, just like me, and I don’t want to be Treasurer. I wou’t have it!
