congratulated on the complete and |
excellent report of the county conventions
throughout the State furnished
its readers Tuesday. It covered
the entire State, to use a
hackneyed phrase, "like the dew."
OLD-TIME JOURNALISM.
A Copy of "The KIngstree Star,"
Dated October 23, 1872.
Through the courtesy of Mr Edwin
Epps we have received a copy
of "The Kingstree Star," the predecessor
of The County Record and the
pioneer newspaper published in Williamsburg
county,being founded before
the war.
The copy before us bears the date
October 23, 1872; Volume IV, No.
19, New Series. R C Logan is the
editor, who afterwards founded The
County Record.
There are many things of interest
?especially to a newspaper man ?
about this tattered relic of by-gone
journalism. The sheet is "all home
print",the page the size of The Record,
but with only half The Record's
pj-esent number of pages?and the
price is $3.00 a year. The motto'of
the "Star" was: "Re steady in a
noble end, and show mankind that
Truth has still a friend." The paper
is well "made up" and neatly printed,
being singularly free from typographical
errors. But one of the 1
most remarkable features apparent
tc the eye of a newspaper man is the
fact that there is not a single display
advertisement from a Kingstree
business house to be found in
the paper! Advertisements there
are, several columns of them, but
they are all "foreign ads" or notices"
of various kinds. A double
column advertisement announces the 1
coming of (even then) "the Old Reliable
Robinson's Museum, Aquarium,
Menagerie and Circus". In the 1
editorial column, the editor speaks '
in high praise of the Robinson show ]
and especially mentions the "stu- '
^l.endous giraffe, a recent importation".
i
Under the head, "The Result", 1
the following interesting political *
item appears: "There have been
1,870 votes polled in this county? :(
216 whites and 1,762 colored. Moses'
received 1,773 and Tomlinson 80. (
The straight Radical State and (
county ticket received a number of.(
votes corresponding with Moses'.;'
There was no Conservative ticket." i ^
There were many more interest- '
iog points about this relic of old- J
time journalism, but lack of space ;1

HIS OWN COUNTY T
State Convention Will Be Mc

Reports received by The News
and Courier from its correspondents
throughout the State indicate that i
the Anti-Blease forces won a sweep- !
ing victory at the county conventions
held Monday. An estimate i
based on these reports puts the
number of Anti-Blease delegates in
the State convention at 291 and the
Blease delegates at 47.
The reports from the different
conventions show that the safeguarding
of the primary will undoubtedly
be a prime question at
the State convention, sixteen conventions
going on record as favoring
more adequate safeguards
against fraud.
Senator Smith was elected a delegate
to the State convention from
Lee county. Newberry county did
not give either Governor Hlease or
Fred H Dominick a place in the I
State convention.
In the Barnwell convention Charles
Carroll Simms was endorsed for
Governor because he was a Barnwell
man, but failed of election to the
State convention, withdrawing before
a second ballot could be taken.!
l
The Sumter convention endorsed ;
the candidacy for Governor of R I!
Manning and elected him State ex-.
ecu tive committeeman and delegate1
to the convention.
The Union convention endorsed
the candidacy of Lowndes J Browning
for Governor and elected him a
delegate to the State convention.
It also endorsed the candidacy for
Congress of T C Duncan.
In the Kershaw convention M L
Smith and J G Richards declined to
stand for office in the convention.
Marlboro county did not give John
L McLaurin a place in its delegation
to the State convention.
Senator Smith's candidacy was endorsed
by the conventions of Bamberg,
Orangeburg, Barnwell and
Karshaw. In Laurens county a
resolution to endorse the administration
of Governor Blease was defeated.
R A Cooper, candidate for Gov !
ernor, heads the Laurens county
delegation.
The Oconee convention went on
record as being opposed to race
track gambling in this State.
The Clarendon convention adopted
resolutions praising the efforts
of Congressman Whaley to promote
the drainage of the low country.
The News and Courier's dispatch
from Abbeville was not received in
time for publication, but a long distance
message stated, that eight
Ansi-Blease delegates had been
chosen. 1
No report was received for Dorchester,
but a long distance telephone
message last night stated |
that Mr Legare Walker, of Sum- (
merville, had been elected executive }
committeeman by the Anti-Blease j
forces and that the delegation stood j
three Anti-31ease and one for Blease. j
W F Stevenson, candidate for Con- ?
sress was re-elected State execu- ]
tive committeeman from Chester- (
field. j j
The Florence county convention ]
endorsed Congressman Ragsdale. i ]
In Barnwell, the convention en- t
lorsed unanimouslv the candidacv (
)f Adjt Gen Moore. Resolutions }
endorsing the candidacy of Attorney ,
General Peeples and R M Mixson (
tor Congress were passed after a hot ,
ight. j j
Sentiment in favor of primary re- )
form is strong. In the following f
counties the conventions went on ]
record as favoring some plan of |
safeguarding the primary from .
fraud: Horry, Greenwood, Oconee, {
Greenville, Aiken, Fairfield, Darling- ]
ton. Williamsburg. Chester, Beaufort,
Bamberg, Orangeburg, Cal- ,
houn, Florence, Sumter, Richland. ]

URNS AGAINST HI.
ire than 6 to 1 Anti-Blease.
n Detail.
Varying methods of safeguarding
the primary were proposed in these
different conventions. The Richland
convention adopted the McMahan
resolution instructing the
delegates to the State convention
to work for the restriction of the
primary to registered voters. In
the Spartanburg convention a resolution
instructing the delegates to
oppose restriction of the primary
wa3 defeated, and in the Colleton
Convention the same thing occurred.
The Marlboro delegation, it is understood,
will work for primary reform.
Resolutions opposing further restriction
of the primary were passed
by the conventions of Lee, Jasper,
Union and Laurens counties.
The Bamberg, Calhoun, Laurens,
Fairfield and Clarendon conventions
opposed the abolition of the countyto-county
campaign.
The Wilson administration was
given the endorsement of a large
number of the county conventions,
the resolutions in many instances
praising especially the President's
Mexican policy and in several instances
endorsing the President's

WM5BURG BOY TO THE FRONT.
Dr.A.B.Hemingway Chosen Asst.
Professor In Atlanta College.
Next to seeing the boys and young
men of Williamsburg county sue
ceed at home?and we need them
all here?nothing gives us greater
pleasure in our field of duty than to
note the success of our native sons
in other parts of the country. A
striking example of how Williamspurg
boys make their mark in the
nutside world is the successful career
of Mr A B Hemingway, Jr, of
Rome?a product of old Williamsnurg
and especially of Union High
school?who several years ago electid
to pursue a course in pharmacy
it the Atlanta College of Pharmacy,
where,by innate ability and close at;ention
to his studies,he took a most
;reditable stand, being in his senior
^ear elected junior professor of ma:eria
medica in the college. He was
graduated March 30. this year, and
nas accepted a position in the At-'
anta College of Pharmacy as assistmt
professor of general pharmacy,;
it a lucrative salary, with excellent
prospects for advancemer t.
Dr Hemingway is a son of our
>ld-time esteemed friend, Mr Allard
B Hemingway of Rome.
