Till: CONVENTION TO-HOttROWT The first meeting of the campaign, on the purl of the Democrats of the County, will take place tomorrow. The delegates will conic up fresh from the people thoroughly imbued with the spirit and views of their constituents. If therefore these dele gates net in accordance with these views, and breathe this spirit, they will give utterance to the voice of the people, and the action of the Conven tion will bo the will of the Demo eraey of ?rangeburg County. The attainment of this will should be the solo aim of every delegate. He should feel that he is acting not alone for himself, but for the Democrats who sent him. He has a duty to perform with which he cannot tri tie, and which be cannot turn over to another to perform lor him. It is the duty of a'delegate to be guided by his own sense of rigid and the known wishes of those whom he re presents, and not by the dictation or advice of other delegates. Kneh delegate should do his own thinking, i and not gel another delegate, how ever prominent, to do his thinking for him. It is ;i source of much gratilieation to note the harmony, unity and bright auspices under which the campaign has opened, and we have every reason to hope that these favorable symptoms will continue to be developed. It is not. our intention to presume to oiler any advice to the able body Which will assemble to-morrow. We will do nothing more than direct the minds of tlic delegates to the work which lays before thene and leave them to their own thoughts. The question of the repeal or con tinuance of the two-third rule by which the Democratic parly has been governed in National Conventions, as well a6' that of the* propriety of nominating a Stale ticket in the June Convention, will have to be grappled with and decided by the delegates to-morrow's Convention Bends to ('oltimbin. To us it seems that the changing of the two-thirds rule which has car ried us safely through so many Presidential elections in which the Democratic party has been successful, Would bo inadvisable at litis junet ure, when it is so important, in view of the momentous struggle before us, to keep down every question which might agitate, and disturb the har mony of the party. This con sideration alone, outside of the real merits of the ease, which we do not propose here to discuss, .should cause us to let well enough alone. In reference to the nominating of :t Stute ticket in the J line < on vent ion, various opinions are expressed, hut we are inclined to think thai there is more force in Gen. Butler's view than in any other, that a long cam pnign would interfere with ?ie crops, would wear mil the enthusiasm, und, worse than till, would give time for sore-heads, ollico seekers tiud indep endents to concoct plans against the success of the party. Another important duty the ('(in vention to morrow will have to per form will be t he selection of a County Chairman. A man is needed in this position who has executive ability, sagacity, fidelity and indomitable energy. It won't do to have H man in this place who will sit down on his dignity, and leave the campaign to luck or chance. Our future Chair man must not only be an able, bill a working man. We believe the Convention which assembles to morrow represents the people Itlld will have (he wisdom to net for the best interest of fhe Demo cralic parly. - mm ? ? ?- ? The "News and Courier' has come out in an entirely new dress, having procured a complete set of new type. The ( (feet is apparent in the'livelier and more sprightly appearance of the paper. OLEOMARGARINE. Since the report of .Congressman Alken a visit to nn Oleomargarine Factory at the North, the subject has been bl'Ought very prominently be fore the country, and a disposition is excited to know something about it. The "Scientific American" pub lishes full plates of the extensive works, and gives a thorough account of the process by which "buttcrinc" is manufactured. ? There are thirteen manufacturing companies of this kind now existing in the United States. Tue matter originated about twelve years ago with the French govern ment commissioning their distin guished Chemist, M. Mege,to investi gate certain questions of domestic economy, which led to a special study of beef fat with regard to its dietet ic uses. The beef fat was found to contain the principle ingredients of butter, and, by the processes carried through in the oleomargarine facto ries, it undergoes all of the changes which take place in the udder of the cow resulting in butter. So extensive has the trade become that 11,000,0(1(1 pounds of the article arc now annually exported frow New York alone. Tin* "Scientific American" speaks highly of the article, and says ''that oleomargarine ehielly interferes with the sales of common grades of butter, to which it is far superior, and it is mainly dealers in this grade of butter who raise an outcry against the new product." On the 27th March 1880 Congress through Hon. Morgan K. YViso, of the Committee on Manufactures, ad dressed a letter to Prof. Charles I-'. Chaiubei', President of the New York Hoard of Health, inquiring if the article known as oleomargarine or butterine is wholesome or unwhole some. Prof, ('handler replied at length, stating in substance that "the mate rial from which it is manufactured is perfectly fresh beef suet; that the manufacture is conducted with great cleanliness; and thai there is no sanitary objection whatever to the unrestricted manufacture and sale of the substance." We have collated the above in for. mation in reference to this article, which seems destined to revolution ize trade in this line, for the benefit of our readers. Whether oleomargarine is in Or angeburg, we arc not informed; and whether it will be a blessing to the country or not. we are not prepared to say. GARY IS HIMSELF AGAIN. It will be remembered that a few days ago Gen. Gary and Speaker. Shcppard were defeated in their own Club at Kdgciicld as delegates to the County Convention, and it was be lieved that he was stabbed in his own home and killed as a Gubernatorial aspirant. The County Convention, however, "hieb met on Monday, ordered oth erwise, and (Jen. Gary ami Speaker Shcppard were sent as delegates to the State Convention by a compli mentary vote. 'Fhe delegation to Columbia is solid for Gary. This much was accomplished by (he agitation, as the Anti-Gary men say, "Gary was made to show his hand." lie made a speech to the ('(invention stamping as a falsehood the statement that he intends to run as an Independent, and reiterated his determination to stand by the action of t he State ( 'oiivontiotl. IT NNvVoIt GARY. We make the following extract from the na cut speech of Gen. Gary before the Kdgclicld County Conven tion, which, however true il maybe, sounds funny for (Sen. (lory : " Flu1 rule of the aristocratic oligai ehy who governed this Slate for the lust otic bundled years is al an end. The parish system of representation ha been abolished. The Hank of the Slate I he great fiscal agent through which tin- taxpayers of the State were roblu-d by these aristocratic loaders before the \\ a i, is an i nst it ul ion of the past. The South Carolina College has been or w ill be opened upon a dill'crcnt basis ; it wj 1,1 no longer be supported by taxing the poor man to educate the rich man's soils; il w ill be open alike to I he rich and poor w hite youths, free of charge. The policies, measures and principles of these "ruh- or ruin" leaders will never be fastened again upon the people of this State." PISTOLS AND WHISKY. ^ Ther? is no' doubt that a healthy public sentiment; is rapidly develop ing itself on the above subject, and finding practical illustration. The toWns of Beaufort und Bnrnwcll have both passed acts prohibiting the car rying of concealed weapons, and even Gen. Gary, Senator from Edgelield. has promised to see that a general law is enacted by the Legislature to the same effect. ? And now again the Grand Jury of Orangebarg has spoken on the subject. We are gratified also to hear that Rev. O. A. Darby, pastor of the Methodist Church in our town, took up the matter in his sermon on last Sunday morning, and pressed it w ith his well known fervor and ability. When the pulpit, the press and the people thus work together in tin* battle against crime and error, new hopes may be indulged for the eleva tion of public morality. -*? TIRED OF POLITICS. It is said that Gen. Joseph E. John ston, of Virginia, has become dis gusted with the corruption of politics, and has declared his determination not to consent tore-election as Repre sentative from Virginia. Gen. Johnson is a quiet old gentle man, and we are not surprised at his disgust with Washington Society, especially around tin* Capitol. UEX. HACIOOD FOR GOVERNOR. The Suinter Democratic Conven tion which met on Tuesday, was har monious ami unanimous lor Gen. Ilugood for Governor. There is a dignified quietness ami unobtrusive itess of manner about Gen. Ilagood, in reference to tin* Gubernatorial olllec which gains for him a great deal of st rcngt h. BRANCHVILlii DEMOCRACY. Branch vi r.i.K, S.
