P. G. Bowman, Esq., offered the following
resolutions :
Resolved, That the action of the State Senate
tn the last General Assembly in refusing to
provide for the Census aod a reapportion?
ment of representation according to popula?
tion, as required by the Constitution of this
State, deserves the unqualified condemnation
of all law-abiding citizens. That such action
showed a total disregard of the fundamental
law of the land ; that it is dangerous in its
tendencies in that it inculcates a want of
proper respect for law ; that it was violative
of one of the most sacred principles of free
popular government, to wit, that representa?
tion shall be apportioned according to popu?
lation ; and that it was subversive of another
principle, equally sacred, that there shall be
no taxation without representation.
Resolved, That the Democratic party of
Sumter County, which County, it is believed,
has thus been deprived of an additional rep?
resentative in the Legislature of this Sute,
and a large number of whose citizens are thus
subjected to taxation without representation,
desire? to place upon recqr? its solemn protest
against such action.
This resolution was also adopted and the
thanks of the Watchman and Southron returned
for this endorsement of its fight against this
neglect of duty on the part of the Legislature.
A vote was thea taken by the Convention
on the question of Primary or Convention in
nominating candidates, and was decided by a
vote of 100 to 22 ia favor of the Primary
plan. The question whether the vote should
be majority or plurality was decided in favor
of Plurality by a vote of 72 to 45.
On motion, the delegation to the Staie
Convention was instructed to fill ali vacan?
cies in the delegation.
The Convention then adjourned.
My liver was so fearfully disorded and I felt
so feeble and languid that I scarcely took

To the'Presidents of Township1 Democratic
Clubs : GKsrfLias*?
This is a Democratic government, add that
means a government of thepeople. The farnr
ers constitute ninctenths- of the people and
pay three-fourths of the taxes ; then how can
you better get at the will of the* people, than
by organizing township clubs composed of
the people, therefore the determination to or?
ganize clubs.
. Agriculture is the nurse mother' of all the 1
other Industries in the Connty and* State,
therefore rn order to insure health and fitness
to the children, the mother must be kept in ar
.healthy and prosperous condition, and mest
haye the respect of her children. The* facts
are this old agricultural mother has gone dry ;
and1 gives but little milk-to- ker children, and
.is herself often seen crying- for bread and
meat. Something must' be done to save ber
for like a good mother stie- lfttr ?tobbed-berself
tb feed her children and they db not yet real?
ize that they have nursed the mother almost
: to death. The farmers met ?d' Columbia in
convention and recomtsend?d certain meas?
ures to wit :
1. TheestablUBmentof?i'^itu^tira?:and
Mechanical College.
2. The establishment of an ferdastTiBi and
, training school for girls.
3. The Agricultural Department to be
controlled and the board elected,- By formers.
4. Reducing the offices and expenses' of tte
government.
5. The abolition of the Lien Law.
6V Regulating Fee Bills.
7. Tariff Reftm.
8. Discontinuance of appropriations for
Militia; Managers and Commissioners of
Elections; Colombia Canal; Citadel Acade?
my i State Hotrse, ?c., &c., kc.
In these township clubs, let os discuss thfse
recommendations and vote on them in the
eltfbs, in County sod State Conventions. A
committee hals been appointed to present the
needs and wants of the farmers to the Legis?
lature as set forth by the State Convention,
?f we elect members pledged to support these
measures,- we will get what we want and
need.
The discussion- of these questions will in?
still in the farmers a personal interest and
responsibility in the government, and will
elevate them in their own esteem and tbe esti?
mation of others. It will give us better rep?
resentatives, who, no matter what may be
their calling, can, through this organisation,
find out the will of tne people, and will go to
Columbia with settled purposes and specific
aims, giving more satisfaction to themselves
and the people Whom they represent. The
farmers' organization will give us a true
Democracy; and will elevate the people above
the pohi'cian-something to be prayed for
by every good Democrat and every intelligent
citizen who lo?"?s his country.

? Farmer's Letter.
MAKSVUM, S. C., July 14, 1886. |
Mr. Editor: The farmers' meeting of Joly 1
3rd, has been held pursuant to call made by J
Mr. H. R. Thomas; they have been in council,
and, judging from the reports made of ttAt
?meeting, the condition, needs and wants of
the farmers of Sumter Couoty were pretty
thoroughly scrutinized, discussed, a/id venti?
lated, and their proper places a/signed to
them as tax-payers, voters and good Demo?
crats, citizens of our common econ try. Even
their tneutal capacities wero commented upon,
and they were weighed in th/j scales of justice
and overbalanced by restriction. Our Hon.
Senator whom we a)\ ?o delight to honor
comes to the rescue sif ^farmers and says, it
is a good thing for the farmers to organise,
but not politically. Let us retrospect for a
moment Surely the Hon. Senator has not
let passing even ts obliterate from bis memory
the result, of political organizations among
tlie farmers not longer than 10 short years
ago ; pr Was it nothing more than a rbwdy
ish, disorganized mob of countrymen, with a
a ec/ta/n per cent, of other classes mixed.in;
that Vouted the Radicals out of their Strong?
holds in the first Hampton campaign of'76 ?
VYiis it nothing more than a mob that bas
tfeld the fort, even Until now ? Were there" no
political organizations nmong the farthers
through all these years tb?t tried men's
souls and brought relief and rejoicing to the
hearts and homes of every trite Carolina roan
and woman that loved their country and good
government? Tb? record bf the past answers.
During all of these troublous tiroes, did any
man raise hts voice again?t the farmers hav?
ing political organisations ? ?fot one. And
what is the matter now t Why all this hue
and cry about the farmers.organizing polit?
ically ? Who is it that U afraid, pf them ? It
Is said by some that they want td tear the
Democracy all to pieces and eat it tip alive.
Is that so? Who are the farmihg clases Of
to-day t Have they er o 1 a ted and retrograded
so much, and becdnle so dissolute and heath?
enish as to hate lost the common self-respect
of all other classes of our fellow citizens, to
be treated with such contempt? Who are the
classes that ought to be trusted With political
organisations? Is it the lawyer, the mer?
chant, the street politician, and the candidates
for public office? I have bot yet beard it said
that it would be dangerous for those gentle?
men to organize ; yet when we poor old fann?
ers, the very backbone and sinew nf tbs
whole country, even hint that it would be a
good thing to organize oursajres politically or
otherwise, to the end * th'ai we we might put
some restriction upon" waste and extrava
atj ce, a howl comes, down upon our poor
evoted heads and. says: "No sirs; go and
organize if you wish to, but have no politics
in it. Yon people ate too ignorant and dan?
gerous. We won't trust you; yon might
disrupt the Union ; you must take back seats ;
we will make out the slate and shape your
policy. You farmers can shake the bush, but
we must have the bird. All the work we
want you to do is to go to the polls and cast
your vote as we direct and dictate." Now,
brother farmers, what are you going to do
about it? I say let us organize in any man?
ner that conscience and a sense of right
would seem to point out to ns, and as broth?
er Thomas bas it, "cease to be the beast of
burden for others to ride while we walk and
pay the taxes ;" and allow no classes of men
to dictate bow and what we should, or should
not do. We have as good material among us
as there is in the land, and the power to back
it if united. Let us discountenance class leg?
islation, and give every body, a fair showing;
let us discountenance class legislation, and
give everybody a fair showing ; let us do all
of our work under the good old Democratic
fiag, and never foran instant forget to be true
and patriotic sons of the old Game Cock
County; and let us show to the reporter of
the News and Courier from Sumter, that be
may have been slightly mistaken in the feel?
ings and temper of this people when be says
that the agricultural Moses bolds no place in
ihe hearts of thc farmers of Sumter Couoty.

A ?a*yrs Opinion.
Mr. E??w? Please allow me sr little space
in your columns in which to comment upon
one idea contained in Mr. H. R. Thomas' ad?
dress- before the Farmer's Convection. He
says-'we want a training school for our girls.'
"Teach them to be something. When reverses
come noon them, they are expected to fight
their way through the world against the fear
fol odds of having no profession, insufficient
education, and no business training." There
is a truth in this. How many graduates are
fitted bj their education to occupy positions
of practical usefulness? How muny can ap
?ly their arithmetic to their fathers' book
aping, their knowledge of fonsie to-lbe in?
struction of their younger sitters,, or make
any remunerative use of the brash er pencil
from whose magic touches (with the aid of the
teachers) arose such lovefy (-TTcreatronaPTbe
time was when mai mri labor was cotieidered de?
grading. "Let the dead past bur; PM dead."
We live in a different world fro? the last
generation. X do not propose tflat we educate
onr girls for the learned professions. The
Soernern mind bas-a distaste *>r female phy?
sicians,, lawyers, and others of Shat ilk, bnt
let ns teach them some occupation which will
make them self-supporting and th ns self-re?
specting, 1 'a perfect woman nobly planned."
