T 0t
We reprodude in this issue au
article written by Mr. W. D.
Woods, of Darlington, in which
he gives some unanswerable
reasons why .the white people
of South Carolina cannot con
sistently take part in the new
movement which has been be
gun to reorganize the Republi
can party in South Carolina.
For some time past it has been
realized that this effort would
be made along lines never be
fore attempted, and that owing
to the complicated condition of
our State politics, it would be
made this time with some show
of success. While, in our judg
ment, the defection which it
will cause from the Democratic
ranks could never be large un
der any circumstances, there are
conditions existing at present
which tend to make the situa
tion graver than it would other
wise be.
The “Lily White" Republi
cans, as they have been aptly
termed, argue that the negro
will never again be a political
factor of any importance in
South Carolina, and that there
is no reason why a white Re
publican party could not be
formed in the State. The neces
city for it at this time, they say,
is apparent, for the two factions
of the Democratic party are so
far apart that they cannot con
tinue much longer as component
parts of the same political body
The missionary spirit manifest
ed by those who have assumed
the leadership of the new move
ment is already bearing fruit.
A club of white Republicans,
composed chiefly of those- who
have but recently left the Dero-
cratic party, was organized in
Columbia recently. A similar
club has since been formed in
Laurens, and the leaders of the
movement say they have assur
ances that Greenville is to “fol
low suit” at an early day.
Mr. Woods lays it down as a
general proposition that “Those
who propose making this change
of faith may be, for all practi
cal purposes, divided into two
classes; one going over with the
hope of political preferment, the
other erring 'conscientiously,
but none the less ignorantly or
thoughtlessly, on this account.”
It is to this latter class alone,
as Mr. Woods truly says, that
argument need be addressed ;for,
“the first being actuated by en
tirely selfish consideration and
the desire to be on the winning
side are not amenable to argu
ment and are only deserving
of either contempt for their lack
of principle or pity for their
weakness.” But surely even
this class must realize fully that
the presence of any considerable
number of representative South
era men within the Republican
ranks would be an anomaly.
The very bed-rook on which
that party was founded (as a
Northern historian puts it), was
that it might “net without the
embarrassment of a Southern
wing.” It was formed for
the purpose of “whipping” the
South, and after the object had
been gained for which it was
brought into existence, it has
continued, as a party, up to the
present day, hostile to the South
and to all the interests of this
section. It put the negro over
the white man in South Caro
lina, and held him there as long again
as it could, and it will do the ~
same thing again if ever it gets
the chance. The Democratic
party is the only one that truly
represents the po.itical faith
that has been handed down to
us from our fathers. It is the
correct exponent of political
thought that has always existed
in the South, and we expect to
stand by it to the end.

Bad Schedulss on tha G. A D. Road.
[Cheraw Cor., News and Courier.]
The Atlantic Coast' Line still
continues to treat Cheraw very
shabbily - as to the miserable
schedule which is inflicted on
the people. The fertilizer freight
is now so tremendous that the
train anives several hours late
every day and Thursday the
train did not leave Cheraw for
Wadesboro until 4.45 in the af
ternoon when it should have
left at 11.35 A. M. Returning
from Wadesboro it arrived in
Cheraw after 9 o’clock and did
not leave until about 9 30, thus
causing those who wanted to
go to Charleston or Columbia to
miss connections with their
titlins. This miserable arrange
ment will probably continue for
the next month with more or
less intensity each day until the
people become thoroughly dis
gusted. If the railroad- com
panies cannot afford to give us
a passenger train every day
why can’t they put on one three
times a week, or, if they can’t
afford so much as that why
can’t they indulge the travel
ling public for a month with a
daily passenger train at a time
when they have such an enor
mous quantity of fertilizers to
haul? One thing is certain,
however, our people have suffer
ed long enough and it is high
time something was being done
for their relief. Perhaps when
the Seaboard Air Line and the
South Bound bqjld their line
from Cheraw to Columbia the
Atlantic Coast Line may begin
to think a little more about ac
commodating the people of Che
raw and surrounding country.
If Railroad Commissioner Evans
would interest himself in the
schedule on the Cheraw and
Darlington as much as he did in
one on the Charleston, Sumter
and Northern a short time ago
he might be able to do some
thing for us- But the shoe
pinches Mr. Evans himself in
the latter case and that prompt
ed him to hustle.

Pardoned His Assailant.
[Chicago Times Herald.]
Governor Bob Stewart, who
was the chief executive of Mis
souri once and afterward United
States senator from that state,
had a’ strange career.
During his gubernatorial in
cumbency he was one day look
ing through the penitentiary at
Jefferson City when he saw
among the convicts an aged
man whom he recognized. On
the following day he sent to the
warden of the prison orders to
have that man brought to the
executive mansion.
When the man appeared, the
governor, calling him by name,
asked him if he hadn’t once
been the mate of a Missouri
river steamboat. The convict
admitted that he had been, and
then the following conversation
ensued, the governor beginning:
“Do you remember at one
time of having taken blankets
away from a boy who was a
stowaway* on the boat and kick
ing him asnore?”
“The circumstance doesn’t
recur to me now, but doubtless
I did it. A steamboat mate in
those days had to be consider
able of a brute.”
“Yes, sir, and you filled the
bill admirably. I wvas the boy
you robbed and kicked ashore
very near to this capital city,
and thus I became enabled to
give you your pardon. Here,
sir, take it. Now, right about.
March out of that door and off
these premises, and never let
| me see your brutal told face
UNFORTUNATE CHARLESTON.
Governor Evans has at last
carried out his long promised
throat of imposing the odious
'metropolitan police” system
on Charleston. The circum
stances under which he took
the step point strongly to the
conclusion that hewas influenced
by a desire to reinstate in office
one of his followers'who had
been displaced. The new May
or of Charleston is to be con
gratulated on the pluck he dis
k>1>referring to have the
▼eageonce inflict-
The ola convict walked away
quite briskly for one of his age.
A little while ago a senator
told me that one day about the
close of the war, or perhaps a
little later, he was walking
down Pennsylvania avenue in
Washington with another sen
ator when his companion ab
ruptly called his attention to a
rather distinguished looking
man in a gang of laborers who
were cleaning the streets, and I
think he said under police sur
veillance.
“Do you know who that man
is?” the second senator asked.
“No.”
“Well, that is ex Governor
and ex Senator Bob Stewart, of
Missouri. He was -bf a convi
vial nature, and the conviviali
ties of Washington proved too
much for him.”
