We reproduce elsewhere a caid which appeared in the Atari and Courier of Friday lat>t, in which the writer lakes Mr. J. W. Beasley to task for the part which was played at the receut Tillman caucus in Co lumbia by the official bead of the Dtinocracy of Darlin^tou County. We cannot but agree with this critic, and we feel sure that Mr. Beasley mill come to the same con clusion after mature reflection. It is evident that when he attended the caucus in Columbia, and tbt t at Timmousville last week, be did not realize the false position in which bis actiot would place him. Tbe Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee occupies the same rc-Utiou to the Democracy of his County as the President of tbe United States occupies to the en tire Nation. A candidate for the Presidency is nothing more than one of the leading members of an influential faction with which be is distinctly identified, and whose in terest he endeavors to promote by every honorable meaus in bis pow er. The moment he ia elected Pres ident, however, his relations to his party undergo a change. While it is still highly honorable for him to retain his connection with it, he is now tbe official head of the Nation, and must labor for the advance ment of the interests of the whole people, without regard to party or creed, knowing neither friend nor foe. So it ia with the Democratic County Cbairmaa. He generally owes bis promotion to tho honora ble oflice which he fills to the fact that he is a representative of a pow erful clique. The instant that he assumes control of his exalted sta tion, however, he becomes the head of the entire Democracy of the County, and while remaining a member of tbe faotiou which bes honored him, should be ever miud* ful of the fact that one in his position cannot stoop to eater a se cret political caucus, representing one branch of his party. When he does this, his noble province of Oonuty Chairman becomes entirely subservient to (he Chairman of the caucus. It is no wonder that the people of Darlington County, accus tomed as they are to accord to the office of County Chairman tbe high est respect, should open their eyes at its being stripped of all its dig nity, as was the case when Mr- Beasley presided at the secret cau cus held iu Timmousville las’ week. THE CANDIDATE’S 0. PORUTN.TY. We are glad to know that at the meeting of the Cuuu y Democratic Executive Committee ou the 20th lost, it was decided that the can didates should addrees .he people at mass meetings to be held at different points throughout tbe County. This decision of the Com mittee was very wise, for without some such arrangement the Prime ry would have beeu held in the dark. Now an opportunity will be aflorded the people of knowing wboareiutbe race, and exactly what are the views of each particu lar candidate. Tbe latter ou their part, wi'l be enabled to form theac- quaiutauee of tbe people, a decided advantage where a man’s candidacy is based on personal merit and his fitness for the position which he seeks. The appointments for the mass meetings are as follows: Flor ence, Thursday, Aug. 2; Lydia, Tuesday, Aug. 7; Dovesville, Thursda., Aug. 9, Lamar, Satur day, Aug. 11) Cartersville, Thurs day, Ang. 16; Timmousville, Fri day, Aug 17; Darlingtou, Moud ty, Aug. 20. It is to be hoped that each of these meetings will be largely attended by the voters of the County. THE FLOBALFAIaT^ The animal summer exhibition of tbe Darlingtou Agricultural and Mechanical Fair Company will be held ou Tuesday next, a ad it is earnestly hoped that ev ry man, woman and child In the County will to be present. Tbe great success which bas attended these exhioitions in the past is s guaran tee of what is to lw* exp»*c‘ed next we«-k. Apirt from thedniy which *'V«tj g< od citizen feels is incumb eot upon In n in thia matter, all wbo attend past the time most pl« o-antly, and it is s ife to say that there is no more popular celebra tion iu tlm County than these an nual le-unious, wlii-re people as semble from lie mo*L remoti- parts of the County, and friend* delight iu renewing the pleasant associa tions of years gone by. The year has beeu a fairly favor ably one for fruits and flowers, so it is rea sonable to suppose that the exhibi tion will be fully up to theaverage; at all events, we predict that all who attend will enjoy themselves to the utmost. taIlulaV By the determined efforts of Capt. Blackwell, our people are now enjoying the convenience of a neat but subsfautial structure over the stream which flows from tbe Mineral Spring. By meaus of this bridge frequeuters of the Spring in the afternoon cau return to Town by making a complete circuit, and the delightful route through the woods iu the cool of the evening makes this as pleasant a drive as is to be found in the State. Tbe next improvement which the Town needs is tbe repa ring of Tallulah Spring, and we trust that the same active baud and brain which brought the matt -r mention ed above to so sue cessfnl a ter mination will tasu this affair in charge also. Before and during the war tbe walk to Tallulah was the fashionable promenade for the ladies and children of the town in the afternoons. By all means let us open up this beautiful route again, and thus obtaiu auother flue drive as well as a beautiful ramble through the forest, since tbe Tallu lah is iu easy walking distance of the Towu. A LOFT r HONoT WELL BESTOWED The election of Mr Lucas McIn tosh as an Honorary Member of tbe Survivors’ Association of the Pee Dee Light Artillery, because of the fact that he is a brother of the first commander of the company, a broth er of one of its most trusted Lieu- tenants, aud bore moreover, tbe same relation to her whose memory is held so eacred by the command, is a high honor worthily bestowed, and has fallen to one who will duly appreciate it. “Cause” Editor of The Darlington Neu>$ : Your issue of last week contains this rem u kable language, embod led in a comm attic it ion from ^Jus tice,” bailing from Florence: “Some of the voters of the Sixth District think they must have a new man to succeed the Hon. Geo. W. Dargan. For what cause they cannot truthfully say, but like a child when asked why he did this wrong thing answers, ‘cause.’” Now that was a regular broad side from n mud battery, “which •truck some tellow about my size a center shot between his eyes.” If “Justice” can be decoyed from be hind his mud wall, that all may see w hether the game is worth the am munition, then it the only reason rendeied is “cause,” it will not be the fault of A. YV. Parrott. A Question tor Treasurer Trailer. Editor of the Darlington News: In your issue of July 19th, you publish a card from Mr. Trailer, also a letter from Senator Edwards by which Mr, Edwards kiudlv “Fathers’' the responsibility of hav ing Darlington excepted from the extension of time granted to the balance o( the State. I appreciate Senator Edwards’ kind feelings to ward the Treasurer, but did not Mr. Edwards do so at the request of Mr. Trailer I 1 understand and cau substantiate that Mr. Trailer left his home with the avowed pur pose of having Darlington County excepted from the extension and returned in high glee at hie success. Nulla Bona. An ..nswer to Treasurer Trailer- To the Editor of the News: I notice iu th last issue of your paper an article from our County Treasurer in which be makes the statement that the Tax Books of this County are ‘ in a deplorable fix,” aud as iie speaks ef “AsdttorP’ some may think ihar. the allusion refers also to the i>"ok* kept during the live years ih.it 1 was County Auditor. Now I luv^ the written statement ot the Comptroller Gen tral, made during the last year that I was in ihe offic 1 *, that my books were second to none iu the Elite. I am not a candidate lor any office, and therefore will not canvass the County explai ingthis matter, and much as 1 dislike ir, will have to take this method ( f putting myself straight upon the record. 1 make the following offer; 1st. That upon an examination of all tbe hooka iu the Couuty Auditor’s office bv tbe most expert a*qunt>iBt in this liue id tbe State, I am will iug to forfeit $100, not if my Tax Duplicates are equal to any other Auditor’s, but if they are not pro- nounoed the best set of books iu the office. 2nd. Upon a thorough examina tion of said books by an unpreju diced, competent accountant, if they are pronounced “in a-deplora ble fix,” or if the eiiid accountant will say, that 1 was as Auditor at all re8|M>usible for the large excess of Tax Executions fur the lad Fis cal year, I will cheerfully pay all expends incurred iu milking this examina'ion. 1 merely make this statement in justice to mvself, and not with the iuteniiou of injuring any of tbe candidates for office, nor is it writ ten in the interest ot any. . F. E. Norment. The Florence Conventions. Florence, S. C., Wednesday, July 25. 1888—Most, of the dele gates to both the Judicial and the Cougressioual Conventions arrived in Florence by six o’clock on Tues day afternoon. From that hour until ten o’clock this morning, the time appointed for the assembl ug of ti e Judicial Convention, the most extensive lobbying was car ried on, many of the delegates re maining np all night. It was im possible, however, for the most as tute politician to forecast tlie result. The respective friends of Dargan aud Newton, the two leading Con- gessioual candidates, reached the scene of the conflict tboror.ghly de termined to stick to their man to tbe last. Both sides seemed to keep perfectly dark, aud each was stealthily watching for some move ment on tbe part of the other. D was very evident that these two factions controlled the result of both Conventions The Judicial Convention was call ed to order by Mr. J. W. Beasley, Chairman of the Judcial Execu live Committee, and Mr. W. A. Brunson, of Florence, was elected temporary chairman, and A. M. Rankin, of Chesterfield, was elect ed temporary secretary. One dele gate from each County, namely, Messrs YV. F. Stephenson, of Ches- terbeld ; R. M. Pegues, of Marlboro’; W. McG. Buck, of Horry ; C H. Race of Darlington, and T. B Hayes, of Marion, were appointed a committee ou credentials. At this stage of tbe proceedings it was seen that tbe Darliuxtou delegates held the “b dance of power,” aud could determine whether the Solic itor should be nominated by prima ry or convention. Tne Marion del egation, with ten votes, and the Marlboro’ delegation with six, had both beeu instructed to vote for primary; while the Horry delega tion with six votes, was instructed for convention, aud tbe Chester field delegation (six votes) though not instructed was unanimously iu favor ot the oouveution plan. The committee ou credentials then made its report, and tbe roll being called by the secretary, it was found that tbe following dele gates were present aud entitled to seats: H. YV. Fiulaysou, YV. F. Ste venson, G. J. Kedfearn, J. A. Snl lers, W. S. Jackson, A. M. Rankin, Chesterfield; E. M. Grifliu, G. W. Pettigrew, YV. A Brunson, E. O. Woods, E W. Cauuou, C. 0. Hep burn, C. Reinhar it, C H. Race, J. Y\ T . Hammond, W. R. S. Lawson, Darlington; C. P. Quattlebaum, S. S. Dusenbeiry, L. D. Graham, W. McG. Buck, H. 1). Richardson, J. B. Williamson, Horry; R. U Howa'd, T. B. Hayes, R. C. Craw ford, M. M. Mardin,J C.Timmons, A. M.Gasque, Joseph H. Biker, E. H. Bethea, YV. D. Johnson, R. R. Shaffer, Marion; R. M. Peqnes, 8. Gibson, Hugh McCollum, W. B. Drake, J. T. Covington, T. W. Bonchier, Jr., Marlboro. The temporary organization was then made permanent, andthechair announced that the convention was ready for business. Capt. E. W. Cannon moved that a committee, consisting of one delegate from each county, be appointed to consider the question of whether the prima ry or tbe convention (dan ot nomin ation be adopted. This motion was supported by Chancellor Johnson, of Marion, aud by Messrs. YVoods, of Darlington, and Quattlebaum, of Horry, aud opposed by Messrs. Stephenson, of Chesterfield, and Boucher, ot Marlboro’. The motion was carried, and the following com mittee was appointed, ot the sug gestion of the various delegations: YV. F. Stephenson, Chesterfield ; L’ P. Quattlebaum, Horry; E. \y\ Cannon, Darlington; YV. D. John sou, Marion ; T. W. Boucher, Jr., Marlboro’. Under pretext of allow ingthis committee time to deliber ate and make its report, a motion to adjourn until three o’clock was adopted. In point offset, this was a “first tail” in favor of Darlington, whose delegates, for reasons best known to themselves, were desir ous of having the Congressional question settled first, and had therefore adopted the tactical move ment of “marking time.” The Congressessional Convention was called to order by Mr Beasley at 12 o’clock. Mr. J. E. Davis, of Clarendon was elected temporary chairman, aud Mr. J. J. Graham,of Mail boro’ aud John R. Cooper, of Horry, secretaries. The following committee on credentials was an pointed: T YV Williamsan, of Dar «ngU),. L Alex McRae, Mailuoro’; ca selden, W M Monroe, R P Hamer, D W MoLaurin, W W Hamilton, O J McPherson, W A Brown, 8 W Smith, J G B McCall, Marion, 10; T W Dagger, J E Dusenberry, Sr., T F Gillespie, J K Cooper, L D Graham, B L Beaty, Horry, 6; 8 D M Byrd, B C YVhitehead, 0 M Lee, Williamsburg, 3. The calling ot the rol having been aoinpleied, tbe temporary organization whs, on motion, made permanent. Dr 8D M Bird, ot YVilliamburg, moved that the Congressional nooi luation be - made by convention; Mr D M McLatinn, of Marion, mov ed as a substitute that, it be by pri mary. Dr Byrd made a strong argu ment in sup;»oit of hiS u o ion, winch was warmly seconded by Messrs J J YVard and T^YV Daggert and op- poseo b> Messrs. YV A Brown and T N Edens. Tbe “:i - es and no’s” being called the convention plan of u aking the nomina'.iou was adopt ed by a vote of 25 to 16, the Dar lington, Clarendon, Horry and Wil liamst urg iren voting solidly m favor of convention and tl os< fom Mat ion and Marlboro’ for primary. Mr Dagget moved that nominations be made without'speeches; adopted. Mr Gillespie, of Horry, then nom inated Geo. YV. Daigan ; Mr Edens of Marlboro’, H H Newton ; Mr. I) M McLauriu, of Mauoo, J G Blue ; and Mr Montgomery, of Clarendon, MrHLBeubow. Tne rules of the House of Repr<-sentativ« s ot the State of South Carolina were then adopted ior the government of the convention. The first ballet was taken with the following result: Dargan 19; Blue, 10; Boubow, 7; Newton, 5 Dargan received the solid votes of Darlington and Hoiry, two votes from Williamsburg, ami one from Marlboro’; Blue aud Benbdw re ceived the auauimous support ot their respective delegations; while five out of the six delegates from Marlboro’ voted tor Newton. Tweu- ty-one votes being necessary to a choice, the chair announced that no result had been reached. A second ballot wastaeu taken, tbe result of which was identical with that oi the first. Mr. McLauriu, of Marl boro here renewed his motion lo adjourn umil 4 o’clock, an effort w hich he had made several times before, but without success. On this occasion it was carried by a vote of 21 to 20, D.uliiigtuu voting solidly against it. When the Judicial Convention reassembled at three o’clock a lengtbly majority report was read, signed by Messrs. Quattlebaum, Stevenson aud Canuon, recom mending that (he nomination be made by convention, aud that the business be proceeded with by this couvi ution. A minority report, signed by Boucher aud Johnson was likewise presented, urging the prim ary metbod.The majority report was adopted amidst applause, but the iufluuoc-* of the Darlington delega tion aud their friends was still felt in a motion which was made to ad jouru until half pa^t five o’clock, iu order that the Congressional Convention, which was to meet at four, might have tin- u^e of the hall. In the face of some opposi tion this mo'ion prevailed. When the Congressional Couvco tiou met at fmro'clock, the thiid ballot was taken, with the lollo-v- iug result: Dargan 22,Ne.wton, 13; Benl>ow. 6. Dargan thus gained three votes, t'vo from Marlboro Messrs, Graham aud Fletcher, Mr. Evans, of Marlboro having voted lor him on all three ballots. The third new vote which he received ou this ballot was tbit of Dt Byrd of Williamsburg. NiWtou had the three remaining votes from his County, and the solid Marion delegation, which leit Blue to come to him. Clarendon still poll ed its solid vote ior Beubow. The chair announced that Mr. Dargan bad received the nomination of the convention, aud a wild scene ot confusion ensued. Cheers and shouts of applause from Mr. Dar- gau’s supporters rent tbe air, and ou motion, the nomination having been made unanimous, the con ventiou adjonened sine die. The mem bees of the Judicial Convention again tiled into (he hall at half past five o’clock, and tbe Chairman having anno eed that he w as ready to hear nominations for the office of solicitor, the names Edw’d Mclver, ot Chesterfield, and J. M. Johnson, of Marion, were pre sented. There being no further nominations, a b .llot was taken when Johnson received 20 votes aud Molvcr 18. The chair announc ed that Mr. Johnson had the ex act number of votes necessaty to nominate him Mclver received the solid votes of the Chesterfield and Marlboro delegations, while Marion aud Horry paid a similar compliment to Johnson. Tne Dar lington delegation split, its mem bers voting as follow s: Grifliu, Pet tigrew, Canuon, Uebnrn, Race, and Lawson voting for Mclver, aud Brunson,| Woods, Reinhardt, and Hammond for Johnson, there suit was quite a surprise, as it was thought that there would be sever al candidates in t e field, and that the race would be a tight one. Af ter the nomination had been made unanimous, this convention also ad journed sine die. the individual prise on Thursday. Lieutenant-Colonel George W. Brown was officer of the day on Tuesday. Col.
