THE NEWSAND COTJBIEB. Every Democrat in the State owes a debt of gratitude to the Nevos and fourier for the emphatic stand that paper took io opposing the pretended ?BthirritJ of Deputy Marshals and iso rs. For days before the dec? ile column? wore piled with waro iag editorials, and the laws bearing on tba elections were quoted and explained. Many of as anticipated trouble election ?my, Bat forewarned is forearmed, and tba wise counsels and positive stand febea by. the News and Courier not eely ooavinced our people as to their j legal rights, hot also opened the eyes j ~ef th?

WHAT IT MEANS. The election of Cleveland means far more to us than mere political success. No State, unless situated .as we were, can properly appreciate our condition. With an overwhelming negro majority in the State led by unscrupulous Gov? ernment officials, the white men were compelled to combine to prevent at all hazards the persistent attempts at negro domination. But with Cleveland's elec? tion the Republican party in South Carolina will break like a rope of sand, for without skilled leaders, such a mob of dense political ignorance can not act intelligently or iu unison, and no longer could any fears be felt of their regaining political ascendency. it means that the political strife be? tween the white man and the black man is at an end, for the colored people, knowing the Government is Democratic, will give up thc political gods and co!ti vate friendly political relations with his white neighbor; and while losing no part of their rights and privileges, will gain immensely in national prosperity, it means that the feeling of contempt with which we regarded the Govern? ment in the person of its officials, chosen, it seems, with an eye single to earning the detestation of every decent man iu our State; will pass away be? cause wc may feel assured that hereafter, honorable, honest men will fill those places. It means that the gulf between North and South will rapidly close, for the honest people-of the North will see that the Sooth, while occupying a new and commanding position io the Admin? istration will have no revlou^^iary pet schemes to foster but that she honestly and earnestly desires the welfare of the entire country. It means that an era of peace and prosperity will dawn upon our State, if we are true to our duty. Yes it means all this and far more, but after all it rests with the people wheth? er or not they will change the glorious promises of hope into an assured cer? tainty. They can do so, we believe they trill do so, but let us remember that thc full fruition of the victory woo Tuesday cannot be enjoyed in its entirety without a complete understanding be? tween the North and South as to the results of the war ; the removal of polit? ical distrust between white and black ; the exodus of every carpet bagger and conversion of each scalawag, and a complete change io the moral, social and political complexion of every office holder io the State. -ma The Situation. Our lively contemporary, the Green? ville News, gave vent to the following editorial sentiments last Thursday, and they so aptly expressed oar own agoniz? ing feelings that we adopted them forthwith : "This suspense is excessively pain? ful/' "Tammany Hall seems to have got left " "Hurrah ! II ur- But let's wait until the returns are all in." .?Maybe we will all 'holler' to-night and maybe we will leave the other fel? lows to do the vociferation act." "We can all understand now what is meant by 'sitting on the ragged edge.'" "If we hav*ut beaten 'em we've scared 'cm within an inch of their lives." "Thc 80.000 independent republi? can voters of New York who were going to elect Cleveland must have overslept themselves or taken to the woods oo Tuesday." "Mr. Blaine, if the country has disgraced itself by electing you presi? dent kindly observe that South Caroli? na gave about 50,000 majority against you and that 150 000 South Carolina white men are still standing shout 1er to shoulder to shoulder against you and your crew." "Brace up! Wre have done our part of it anyhow If we aro beaten we must begfn to prepare to go up smiling I for the next round. The democratic j party is indestructible. It will be alive | and fighting when the republican party and all of us are dead, buried and for? gotten. Our correspondents and patrons will please bear with os. There is so much election news that matters are crowded. The Pall Fair. [Darlingtoo News.J The result of the throe days exhibi? tion of the Darlington Agricultural & Mechanical Fair Company can bc sum? med up in the word success. Now for the 14th year can the directors aud the visi? tors say for the 14th-tinie that they are satisfied. The recent improvements show that the company have studied well the comfort of their visitors and the arrangements were pei feet. Thc field crop department showed numerous entries of cotton bales, five or six kinds of hay. and stalks of cot? ton, coru and other grain, which told from their size and excellence that the .dry drouth' had not devastated all of our section. The potato and threshed graiu exhibit was full ; the vegetable show was the smallest ever made, but the specimens exhibited were excellent. lu the live stock department there was uo iuferior stock, and if the eutries were not as numerous as on former years, it arises from the fact, that un? der the fostering influences of the Fair Company, the standard for good stock has risen so high in our couuty thajb poor animals stand no chance. This has been a great year for chickens, and the specimens exhibited show that our farmers have all kinds from the mam? moth Brahmas to the diminutive Ban* tams, aud also that the 'boys' are still improving their game stock. On Friday the attendance was fully up to the third day's average atten? dance On this day came the Fireman's contest between thc Hope, of Florence, and the Young America, of Darling? ton, a reel contest and engine contest with 500 feet of hose. The silver trumpet to bc given to the. most popular Company, to be decided by vote, was gained by thc Young Americas. The coutest was very interesting and was one of the pleasant features of the Fair. On Friday the premiums were awarded, aud not until late did the visitors leave for borne. Wc have heard none but favorable comments from all. The most perfect order was preserved and no ac? cident or unpleasant occurrence hap? pened, nor did the guards and police seem to have much to do. ->..??? -i Election Day. At this place the election passed off quietly. From some throats, slight fears w*?re entertained that the negroes might give some trouble but they gave none. Early in the morning, when the polls were opened. Henry Delaine, a negro deputy marshal, stationed him? self within the enclosure around the congressional box, and swore he would stay there or die. Thc negroes on the outside urged him to remain, but the managers and supervisors, acting under the law which says but one person shall appear within the i nclosure at a time first requested him to leave, and when he would not go, ordered him to leave, so that the election could pro? ceed. Still refusing to go. they called on the deputy State constables to clear the passage t > thc polls. He, still de? fying the law, was then taken iu charge and carried toward the jail, but upon his repenting of his rash assertion aud promising not to further interfere with the election, be was released.-Claren don Enterprise. Election in Dallington. Such a state of affairs us existed on last Tuesday during the election is un? precedented iu the history of Florence. The busiuess houses generally were closed, and totally suspended operations during the day, and that act, of course, gave additional animation to the Dem? ocratic pulse, which was strung to its utmost k tensjon, already with deter? mination to viudicate the claims of good government. We are glad to see that that the negro has lost that old-time in? solence be used to entertain towards the whites on election day. On Tues? day he was decidedly tractable, and manifested no interest in anything ex? cept to cast "de ticket*' for Deas. Florence during ?he whole day was absolutely quiet, not a single distur? bance having occurred, not an intoxi? cated character being seen. We defy thc State to produce a place where bet? ter order was kept, or where peace and harmony reigned between the two races more supreme.-Florence Times. JChe Election in Kershaw. The election in Kershaw county on last Tuesday passed off verya quietly. All business was suapeuded during the day, all the merchants having clos? ed their stores and gone to the polls. The turnout of both parties was much smaller than was expected, and at the precincts outside of Camden very few radicals, comparatively, appeared at. the p''!K. They did not seem to take any interest in the election, aud the only negroes who voted at the State boxes were Democrats. Quite a num? ber of negroes who had no registration certificates attempted to vote at the fed? eral boxes in Camden, but were reject? ed by the managers. However, the radical supervisor took down their names, claiming that they were unlaw? fully debarred. The Democrats who had no certificates did not attempt to vote at all. Everything passed off very quietly all over the county, not a single disturbance being reported from any precinct. The whole county and State ticket was carried without opposition. Our Congressman, IIou J. J. H em ph ill, car-ied the county by about 720 major? ity and the Democratic electoral ticket received the same majority. All the boxes are not in yet, hence we cannot give accurate figures before n; s week. Journal. -- - -*mm~ Neighboring Counties.

Camden Journal: Sweet potatoes were cheaper in this market lart week than we have ever known them to bc before. Very flue potatoes were freely offered at twenty aod thirty cents per bushel. Whether it was scarcity of money or the abundant crop that made them so cheap, wc do not know, but if corn and bacon will only fall in price proportionately to the potatoes, we will then think provisions are really getting down to the ante helium prices. Witterte Messenger: An invitation has been extended by the members *of Antioch Baptist church to the members of thc Camden Baptist church, to unite with them in a memorial service in res? pect to their late pastor, Rev.

Camden Journal: On last Saturday two Mormon missionaries were in West Wateree, and endeavored to persuade the elders of the Pine Grove Baptist Church to let them preach io the church on last Sunday , but were re? fused. -Mrs. Mary A.
