The Democratic State Convention met at- Columbia, May ISThe proceedings of the convention were characterized hv harmony, and the absence of the bickerings which often prevail in that body. Numerous resolutions were voted upon, most of them being laid upon the table. The most important action of the body was an endorsement of the dispensary ay item by a large majority. The following delegates from "Williamsburg were present at the Convention: J II Blackweli, J L Stucky, B B Chandler, W K funk,John Joyner, Marion Clark. Mr. J H Blackweli was elected a member of the Slate executive committee. I still keep on hand th^ famous "Virginia" and "Derby"stoves and the extra ware to fit.

That the Sumter Light Infantry was successfully mustered into service with the largest numberof men of any South Carolina com oanv yet accepted, is due in a jireat measure to 1 hose ol our i'ellow-citizens who have spent time and money freely in getliug up recruits.

Now heie conies "Many I Democrats", with a quaint and cur- | ious column of nnknowu lore. Of course the thine must necessarily be | long drawn out, from the fact that j there must have been "Many Demo-, crats" to hatch it out. Well, the thing reminds me of tavern coffee? yon must drink mut-h to get a little. It is "sweetness long drawn out." Now, Jir. i^aiw, "Jinny nemocrate is wrong in several points. In the first place, I can't exactly fix their sentences?they seem to think that the county convention was governed entirely by political or factional policy. I refute the charge from the fact that I know that the county convention was composed of high-toned gentlemen?gentlemen who could not deal in dirty stuff. Now "Many Democrats" wades into the constitution. Well, I must admit that, unlike "Many Democrats' (thank my stars!) I'm not "bursting"' j with legal lore. Still, I don't think i the constitution tavs exactly what j they state. While these "many fellows" are striking near the mark, sc itti ao iuc cuustiiuLJUii jjura, jct u miss is as good as a mile. Head the | constitution again, my brother. ''Many Democrats" s-h-o-r-t thing reminds me of Shakespeare's ''Much Ado about Nothing." "Many Democrats" states that there were at least 200 voters present. If this be true why were they not on the club roll ? I have been secretary of Greelevville Dem. club since '78, and to my certain knowledge, am aware that, when the roll was revised, as all club rolls should be, we had but 177 1 members. "Where did these other 1 voters come from? They should j( have been enrolled. "Why not? j' Echo answers, "Why?" I know that the Convention was; 1 composed of men of courage and;' maDhood, Many Demacrats to the j i contrary notwithstanding. They?;i Many Democrats?were not in the ] ark of safety, why look for the olive i branch or the dove of peace? Probably the message bird fiom Pandemonium, like Poe's Raven, is still j, a?sitting, still a?sitting, never ilit- r ting, never flitting, on the pallid t base of Prohibition, just above your political doov. Quolh the ^ raveu, "Xever more; never more."' I wish to state, however, that we had 68 mrmbers enrolled on the day! ^ we organized aud several others have been added since.

JMr* Dan Cooper was accepted, and would have raken I he oath along with the other members or tlie Manning company, but his mother telegraphed Capt. Fuller that he was not lSyeaisold, and so he was seni home. Mr William David Shaw, at one tiie edi tor of the paper at Lake City, is a member of the Darling ton Guards. .Mr. Shaw, Mr. W S Moore, and Mr. George A. Bristow, are all adopted Williamsburgers, who are in our company. 31 r. Shaw has suffered considerably from Iris vaccinated arm. The hovs get passes and spend a good deal of their time out in the city, if a man is obedient to orders it is no trouble at all for him to get a pass allowing him to spend the w hole day in the city, but some of them abuse the privilege and arj therefore punished. There i> no trouble in the camp, as the hoys all recognize the tact that they are in the service of the United States, and know that they must obey orders or suffer the consequences. Lours J.
