A QUESTION OF EXPEDIENCY. Certain influential Democrats in the State have issued a call, (which is published in full in another column,) under which a convention will be held in Col umbia to discuss the present political situation, and suggest the remedy for it. These lead ers are our natural political al lies, and we believe that most of them are laboring unselfishly to redeem the State. We wish, therefore, that we could agree with them as to the expediency of their latest move, but we cannot. We have had enough conventions. If the people are let alone they will come togeth er before another two years rolls around, and nothing else but a campaign of “masterly inactiv ity” on our part at this time will bring them together. That’s our firm and unalterable con viction. It’s too late to discuss the political situation for this year, and too early to begin to discuss it for 1890. There would be no chance to elect any ticket that might be put up at this con vention. To go into a fight with the Conservatives of some six or seven such counties as Charles ton, Richland and Sumter un able to help us would be like a general going into battle with out several of his “crack” regi ments. The point has been made that the Conservatives who voted partial tickets at the primary election in those counties are not bound to sup port the party nominees for that portion of the ticket which they “scratched”. We do not think this position can be successfully maintained. The rule provides that the managers “shall re quire every voter at a Demo cratic primary to pledge himself to support the nominees”. No exception is made of a class who may vote to fill one office on the ticket and “scratch” the ne .t. Every voter is bound by the re sult, even the man who may have voted to fill the office of Coroner and nothing else. To encourage the people to regard their obligations lightly is to preach a doctrine worse even than Tillmanism itself, and is a comse which we feel sure none of our leaders would approve of. Call For A State Convention. To the Democrats of South Car olina-. The following preamble and resolutions having been adopted by a representative body of Democrats, coming from a large majotity of the counties of the State, and having since been ap proved by many Democrats in all of the counties of the State, it becomes my duty as chair man of the Democratic confer ence committee, of South Caro lina, to publish them to the State, and to earnestly urge all true Democrats to take active part in the mass meetings pn - posed to be held, and to send representative delegations to the Democratic State Conven tion therein recommended.

Information was received Whereas, under the guidance of those so-called Democrats, or a majority of them, who have control of the party machinery in this State, ;he leaders of the rank and file of the party have attempted to commit them to the Third party and to Popu list doctrines, have allienated us from our fellow-Democrats of the Union, and have brought the party in South Carolina into reproach as to its alignment with the national Democracy, adopted false and undemocratic principles o n d promulgated them in the name and under the banner of Democracy; and Whereas, the Democratic masses of the State have been grossly betrayed by men charg ed with the party management, who have usurped the rights and used the machinery of the party for selfish ends, a majori ty of the so-called State Demo cratic executive committee act ually permitting another self- constituted committee (only claiming to represer t a faction of a faction) to assume control of the party management, and in the most flagrant and offen sive manner to disfranchise thousands of true Democrats; and Whereas, a Ring has been or ganized and is exercising 'most arbitrary and tyrannical power, to the utter subversion of the will of the peeple, and thereby depriving them of their political rights; now therefore be it Resolved, That we as true, loyal and uncompromising Dem ocrats, repudiate the Third,par ty platform repeatedly (and at the recent August State conven tion of that faction now in pow er) forced upon our party, and hereby pledge our continued al legiance to true Democratic principles as enunciated at the last national Democratic con vention. We feel the absolute necessity of a complete reor ganization of the party in this State and invite all true Demo crats to assist us in its rehabili tation and in the organization of Democracy in South Caroli na, squarely in line with sound doctrine; be it Further Resolved. That we hereby invite the Democrats of the State of South Carolina to assemble at the court houses of their respective counties on Sat urday, the 15th day of Septem ber, 1894, or at such other place and manner as they may deter mine,for the purpose of selecting P COGBEWLL t (0’S JUTE BAGGING AND WHOLE TIES.

D.,which occurred at Greenville on the previous day. Dr. Capers was twice in charge of the Methodist Church at Dar lington, on each occasion for several years at a time, and had many friends here, who were much saddened by the intelli gence that they would see him no more on earth. The story of his long and useful career as a minister of the Gospel will come more fittingly from other pens than ours; but to give the prop er estimate of him as a man is within the peculiar province of one who loved him as a brother Tender and affectionate in his disposition, his bright and sun ny nature made friends for him wherever he went. Noble heart ed Christian gentleman that he was, his life was spent in doing good to others, who will always keep his memory green: his sick ness and death were but the rounding off of a pure and up right existence. He had the faith of a little child—a faith which we believe is now “lost in sight”. He came into the world to brighten it; his mision has been fulfilled, and he is gone, leaving behind him a light from his beautiful life and char acter which is even now a con solation to those who mourn his loss, and which, when time has somewhat to them, into brightness now surrounds W.C.
