One of thepleasentest features
of the day was the target shoot

the prize, a silver cup, for the
best score, and private C. M.
Ward won the tin cup for the
poorest score. G. W. Brown,
Esq., won the prize offered for
the best marksman among the
contributing members ; it was a
fine travelling case. Miss
Hattie Ervin captured the
ladies prize, a lady’s dressing
calculated to please the people
of Darlington. It not only
w’orks against the interests of
our citizens, but it also subjects
them to much inconvenience.
It is greatly to be regretted that
the authorities of the road have
seen fit to make so undesirable

think by resolut ons) advocated
warmly the policj of throwing

lican party, vote for Grant and
Colfax and concil’ute the negro.
He urged as a reason the weak
ness of the Democrats North
and their utter inability to aid
us in our difficulties, and that
our only hope of relief was from
those who so completely con
trolled the affairs of the Nat on.
Conciliation of the neg.o and
Republicans North and South
was earnestly ur^ed by him as
the only wise and safe course
for the South.
He was ably repBed to by Mr.
Arthur Harvin, (afterwards a
representative in the Legisla
ture from this coarty,) in a
ringing, patr'otic end eloquent
speech [cheered to the echo,] and
it was fortunately found that
Mr. Tindal was the only advo

THE SILVER CONVENTION.
A Fund to be Raised for Campaign
Purposes.
Washington, May 28.—The
last day’s session of the silver
convention was devoted to the
business incident to the closing
of the meeting. The executive
board was authorized to employ
a corresponding secretary,

crease the troubles of an already
divided Democracy, opposed the
straight fight. The latter party
was successful and no ticket
was nominated.
A resolution was passed re
questing the Hon. L. 1). Childs,
tne distinguished prohibitionist
of Columbia, to canvass the
State in the interest of the
cause. Earnest and strenuous
efforts will be made immediate
ly to advance the cause of pro
hibition in South Caro'ina. It
was decided at the co i vention
that an effective organization
should be made in every county.
A resolution was also adopted
requesting the State Democratic
Executive Committee to give a
separate box at the August pri
maries, at which prohibition
and a no prohibition vote will
he cast. Rev. O. T. Gresham
was elected a member of the
Prohibition State Executive
Committee for Darlington Coun
ty.
The Platform.
The following platform was
adopted by the convention:
We, the Prohibition’sts of
South Carolina, in Convention
assembled, bow before Almighty
God and acknowledge Him as
the guide and ruler in all true
governments. We are unalter
ably opposed to the liquor traf
fic. a traffic taken from our al
ready impoverished people to
be squandered by the liquor
dealer and gambler; by which
our Courts are kept occupied
with criminal business, our jails
filled with prisoners, our Peni
tentiary with convicts, our poor
houses with paupers and our
asylums with lunatics; by which
many of our boys after being
educated are unfitted for busi
ness and utterly ruined and
many of our girls degraded into
servants of drunken husbands, i
while the parents sufier untold |
misery, and by which our civil
ization is demoralized ani the
very church of God hindered in
its work-in brief,* a traffic
against the intellectual, social,
material, finanical, moral, edu
cational and religious interests
of the people.
We, therefore, earnestly favor
and will work for the enactment
of such laws as will prohibit the
manufacture and sale of intoxi
cating liquors for use as a bev
erage in our State.
We cordially invite the co
operation of all Democrats in
this laudable effort for State
prohibition, irrespective of their
opinion on other issues as al
ready made up in this State.

Greeley is miserab o bosh. No
body blames h : mfordoing what
the whole Democratic party did
—supporting the no nination of
Greeley by a convention called
in the interest of peace and re-
corciliation and endorsed by the
