The oj cni»ii{ uneting of the jki-
litical campaign at Hock Hill on
Monday was, despite the large crowd
present, rather tame, all the candi-
datee seeming to be holding them
selves in reserve for the future
meetings. (Governor Tillman de
clined to commit himself to the
plan of having a senatorial primary
ami in doing this practically con
fesses that he does not care to risk
this way of deciding the contest.
All the candidates for governor were
on hand and presented their claims.
Of course they all professed them
selves ns original dyed in the wool
Reformers.
■Senator Butler announced that he
would show up Governor Tillman’s
record at the future meetings and
when he doer this things will be
very liyely.
The Columbia Register admits
that Senator Butler had the crowd
at Rock Hill, but things seemed to
lie reversed on Wednesday at York,
when Governor Tillman’s supporters
seemed to be in a majority.
In a future issue of Thk Hf.kai.u
wc will give a fair synopsis of the
speeches, prefering to wait until the
candidates get on their war paint
and begin to tight in earnest
Since the above was in type the
campaign meetings has taken place
at Chester, at which place Senator
Butler denounced the Gove.rnor in
unmeasured terms, giving him a
well-deserved castigation.
Gen. Butler, we fear, stands very
little chance (f re-election, but he
will make the campaign very un
comfortable, to say the least, for the

Irby, McLurin, the two Garys and a
good many others are getting the
benefit of this kind of Reform.
The people are not getting anything
except the fun of yelling when the
magic word Reform comes from the
lips of one of these unselfish patriots.
Those of our contemporaries who
are predicting the demise of the
Democratic party m South Carolina,
are shedding their tears a little too
soon. It is true that the jmrty
machinery has gotten under control
of a lot of uiiscnipuloue politicians,
that are not Democrats, but the
grand principles of the party are in-
destnictible and will endure as long
at any part of our people loye liberty
and good government. Its name
may be blotted out but its political
teachings will remain without change,
constituting, as they do, the very
basis upon which must rest the
fabric ol any truly republican form
of government
In the Monday’s issue of the
Columbia Journal its editor seems to
think that, the Conservatives are
losing ground, and that they ought
to be fighting something or some
body merely to keep their
hands in. The editor of The

politician but begs to remind the

Brother Bull is such an Inveterate
humorist that his editorial may lie
iuerely a joke, but If he really wants
to tight there is nothing to hinder
him froln trying to destroy tin
hiagic of the word "reform.” If
thihgS really look this way to our
friend it protes pretty conclusively
that drinking the Congaree river
Water has beeii Ido mitch for his

can’t lie blamed for taking a gloomy
view of things, for when this im

There is considerable interest lie-
ing manifested throughout the State
in regard to the formation of new
comities, and while not committing
ourselves to the small county idea,
it must be admitted there is much
lo be said wi favor of having the
oounty seats more accessible to those
who find it a great inconvenience to
ride so far in order to attend the
courts.
The people of Bishopville, irre
spective of party or faction, are
agitating the question of a new
county with that town as the loca
tion for the courthouse and jaiL
As it is not proposed to take any
part of Darlington to form this new
county wc are not specially interested
in the matter, bnt would like lo
make one suggestion thereto which
we trust will be favorably revived.
The suggestion is in reference to the
name, Salem, which is proposed for
the new county. There is nothing
historic or pretty about it, unless it
be that our Bishopville friends wish
to perpetuate a name that is associa
ted with New England witchcraft,
for it was at Salem, Mass., that a great
many people were imprisoned and
executed on account of this super
stition.
There is no State in the country
that is richer in honored and historic
names than South Carolina, and why
should our people not wish to per
petuate one of them wheu they have
the opportunity of doing so I" Much

Mr. B. 0. Duncan, a well-known

The Columbia, S. C., Register,
Tillman organ, is mistaken. There
are no Populists in North Carolina.
They are all “Jeffersonian Demo
crats,” like Tillman. Th<! Star is
very well aware of the fact that
Tillman calls himself a Democaat,
bnt it is also very well aware of the
fact that' he is fighting both the
Democracy of his own State and the
Democratic party of the country,
and that he is as far from being in
accord with either of them os if he
stood squarely on the Populist plat
form. It answers his purpose best
to call himself a Democrat, just as
the Populist leaders of this State do
wheu they go before the people and
seek excuse for their desertion by
still claiming to be Democrats,
“Jeffersonian Democrats,” better
Democrats than the men who make
the Democratic party. We are used
to that kind of thing over here, and
we recognize it even at this distance
when we see it in South Carolina.
Tillman’s disguise is too thin to
fool anybody.

Pittsburg, June 12.—Edward Ever
ett Hale the author and Unitarian
preacher of Boston, is here, on his
way to atttend the meeting of the
Unitarian Conference of the Middle
States and Canada on Tuesday, June
12, at Mi-advillc. In an interview
Mr. Hale said that the solution of
the labor question to a great extent
lies in onr treatment of the negro.
“It is not necessary,” said he, “for
me to go into an elaborate discussion
of this subject; but it seems very
plain to mo- a relief from labor
troubles in the southern states. If,
instead of importing foreign pauper
labor to work in onr mills and along
our great enterprises of all sorts, wc
would seek laborers among the
thousands of unemployed negroes
down south a most beneficial change
would be instituted in the United
States. In the first place hundreds
and thousands of undesirable immi-
would be kept out of the
country, which would be greatly
benetitted thereby, and secondly,
employment and wages would lie
given many of our colored citizens,
who, under the present regime, are
unable to get work of any kind.

Independent is a religions paper, or
supposed to be one, yet does not
hesitate to use its editorial columns
for the purpose of grossly slandering
a part of the people of our State.
It is conspicuously lacking not
only in Christian charity, but in
addition ignores the rules of of fair
journalism. News|>apers that claim
to teach Christianity, ought, us a
matter of decency and consistency,
in the writings of their respective
editors, to illnstrate Its teachings.
It is a lamentable fact that a great
many of onr religious pipers are, in
many essential respects, more unfair
and uncharitable than the secular
joirnals. There is probably not one
of the latter that would have refused
to give Mr. Duncan n hearing.

The numerous strikes that arc
going on in different parts of the
country, principally in the coal
regions, are simply aggravating mat
ters and making the times worse in
stead of better. They furnish the
most conclusive proof that the
doctrine of protection is fallacious
and instead of, as is claimed hy its
advocates, improving the condition
of the workingman invariably makes
it worse. While in many instances
the workingmen have real cause for
complaint, there are two sides to the
question and it is a significant fact,
and to some extent alarming that
nearly all outbreaks of this charac
ter, especially when accompanied by
violence are the work of foreigners
who hate neither knowledge of or
respect for our laws. The condition

“Dun” is a word now whose mean
ing is known to eycry one who under
stands the English language. Abou t
the beginning of the century a cons
table in England named John Dun
became celebrated as a collector of
bad accounts. When others would
fail to collect a bad debt, Dun would
be sure to get it out of the debtor.
It soon passed into a current phrase
that when a person owed money,
and did not pay when asked, he
would have to be “Dunned.” Hence
it soon became common in such
cases to say: “You will have to
Dun So-and-so if you wish to collect
your money.” Until the nomination
of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency

committee was ready to report, and
the chairman of the committee
answered: “Yes, Mr. Chairman;
but the committee is unable to get
inside on account of the crowd and
pressure of outsiders.” The news
paper reporters took up the word and
used it.
