J§tf HENRY T. THOMPSON, j WADDY THOMPSON, 1 Tlmrsdaj, Jnly 28, 1892. TO DARLINGTON'S HONOR. It is greatly to the credit of the county that our campaign meeting on Thursday last was so very orderly. The speakers stated that it was the best meet ing held during the present campaign. This good result was due to the determination on the part of the members of both factions that old Darlington should do credit to herself and should set a proper example to the rest of the State. Everything passed off smooth ly, and so orderly and well be haved was the crowd that the police were not required to make a single arrest during the entire day. This speaks well for the people of the county, for it is very unusual for such perfect order to prevail in a crowd as large as the one that assembled at our meeting. The candidates, both Conserv atives and Tillmanites, speak in the highest praise of Darlington for her generous and courteous hospitality. They received every attention during their stay in our midst and their speeches were listened to atten tively and respectfully. The people of Darlington county know how to behave and the ungentlemanly “howlingdown” is totally foreign to their ideas of propriety. Thk News is in a position to congratulate the county. It has used all its influence, little though that influence may be, and has done all in its power to urge upon the people the impor tance of having a quiet, orderly, meeting, and the result is truly gratifying. Such a meeting as we had will do more to bring about the much desired reun ion ot our people than all the arguments in the universe. — ' ■ ■ ■ HIS THIRD EXCUSE. Governor Tillman has still an other excuse for not remaining at the campaign meetings to hear Youmans’ arraignment of him. This makes his third ex cuse. His first was that he was “hot” and “tired,” but he soon found that this would not hold good. His next was that You mans bad insulted him, but he also soon found that this excuse was no better than the first, so he has hit upon a third that is no more plausible than the oth er two. He now says that if he re mains through the whole of each meeting he will be made so sick as to have to take to his bed, and in order to prevent this he always leaves before Youmans speaks. Sheppard and the other speakers remain until the meetings are over. If they can do it Tillman should be able to, for we have never heard that his health is so delicate that he cannot stand the stress of the campaign as well as the other c mdidates, and in the canvass of two years ago he did not exhibit any signs of the campaign mak ing him sick. But we should not be too hard on the Governor, for perhaps, after all he is right. It is not improbable that Youmans would make him “sick.” The mistake the Governor doubtless makes is that he lays his fear of becoming “sick” to the heat, hen he should lay it to Fow- mans. THE PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN. Tbe News does not advocate the cause of prohibition. There being no prohibition paper pub lished in the County, we have yielded to a reasonable request that we devote a column a week for five or six weeks to the sub ject, provided the matter in tended for publication is pre pared under the supervision of the Rev. G. T. Gresham, the special editor who has under taken the work, and the regular editors of the paper are in no way to be accounted responsible for any doctrines that may be advanced through the special “prohibition column.” This privilege has been accorded the Prohibitionists simply in a spirit of fairness, and a similar one will, of course, be extended to the “anti’s” should they desire it. See that you get the original Wheeler & Wilson No. 9 or the popular New Home sold in this county only by Blackwell Bros. I We Invite the earnest attention of all friend* of prohibition to the fol- frienda of lowing extract* from the platform and all friend* of pr it* from the pi address of the Prohibition party of Sonth Carolina, adopted Hay 20,1S92: “We cordially invite the oo-oneratioii of all Democrat* in this laudable ef fort forHtate prohibition, irrespective of the'* opinion on other issut * a* al ready made up in the Htate. We re commend that the people demand that all candidate* for the House and Senate place themselves on record on this question to the end that the pro hibition vote* of the county may be intelligently east.”] It will be seen from the above that we do not propose to inter fere with any man’s politics. He may be a Tillmanite or a Sheppardite, just as he teen fit, it makes do difference to us how he stands on the political issues, so he is all right on the whiskey issue, and all friends of prohi bition should bestir themselves to work up the people on that all important point. The county Democratic exe cutive committee has very kind ly, wherever practicable, ap pointed a man of our choosing as a manager of election, and we can confidently expect a fair count in the primary. It is all important that we know how each candidate for the Legislature stands on the prohibition issue, and to that end each candidate should place himself on record as soon as he comes before the people. With the consent of the executive committee of the Democratic party of the State, the candi dates before the primary for Legislature honors will be ques tioned as to their position on prohibition, and we propose to question them thus: “Will you, if elected, favor the pas sage of a law by the next Legis lature to secure the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in South Carolina?” It is hoped that our friends in every part of the county will see that each candi date for the Legislature answers the above question so distinctly that no man misunderstands him at every public gathering at which he comes before the pub lic. We should give our hearty support to those candidate who, otherwise qualified, endorse our views, and do all in our power to secure their election. No man who favors the contin uance of the whiskey abomina tion has any right to expect the support of the friends of prohi bition. Let the candidates show their hands that we may know how to vote. The State Democratic executive commit tee has agreed that we can have a box at each polling place in which each voter will deposit his vote for or against prohibi tion as well as for a prohibition candidate for the Legislature. We are Democrats, and, as such, have pledged ourselves to abide the decision of the primary The time is short and every man must bestir himself for the cause if we are to vote our full strength on Agus 30. The State Prohibition execu tive committee asks the modest sum of $50 from this county for its work. Will not our friends see to it that that amount is in my hands by August 1 ? We hope that every man will assist in raising this sum. Don’t think that we shall not need your mite ! Send it on ot once; The money may lie sent to Geo. T. Gresham, Una, 8. C., by let ter, or it may be handed to any of the following members of the county Prohibition executive committee : Rev. J. 8. Du Bose; Lamar; L. A. Moore, Ashland C. W. Woodham, Stokes Bridge A. J. A. Perritt, Lamar. Please act promptly in We propose to sentatlve at every public speak ing to present our views, and we hope our friends will keep us posted as to all such meetings As soon as you hear of such a meeting, notify me about the time and place, so that I can arrange for a speaker for the occasion. We make the following re quests : 1 Give your influence now and your vote at the primary for prohibition. We hope that ever] pastor in the county will preach a piohibition sermon be tween now and August 30. 2. Don’t forget to send up your contribution to the cam paign fund. We shall need every cent we can get. 3. Short contributions for this column are solicited, and they should be forwarded to the edi tor at Una, S.
