Themen on it are all Democrats, honest, patriotic, and"-troe, and tbe people of Sumter w?tt-reflect credit upon themselves in electing them to office. COUNTY POLITICS. It being understood that certain negotia tions were pending between some menbers of both wings of- tbe Democratic party in the County looking towards unity a meeting of the Cotrnty Democratic Executive Com mittee was summarily called to meet at 11 o'clock to-day. At the meeting the following memorandum wayjnbmitted : Memorandum of private agreement affect ing political affairs in Sumter County, each of ua agreeing to endeavor to carry it throne h our respective wings of tbe Demo Crafie Party, and waving all questions as to . tbe regularity of our agreement First?Let ' he fiaghson Executive Commit tee,, and th? Keels Executive Committee both assemble at once, and elect additional mem bers from tbe faction known as Tillmanites, " and upon their nominating same, as to make both sides equal. Second?Let tbe whole Committee then at once assemble and elect its Chairman and other officers.: -Dr. Hnghson and* Dv E. J?eeJs. in tbe interest of peace, each resigning his Chairmanship. . Third?Then let the Committee at once postpone <b? Democratic Primaries to some convenient day in tbe future as may be agreed on, not later A hao October 20?h. prox. Fourth?At the Primary Election let the Antis have a majority of managers at one box, and the Tfl?eranites a majority at another, and so on down the whole list of polling .places: Such, "polling places t<> be at the usual places for holding the Democratic Pri . maries in this County. The Commi::ee refused absolutely to enter tain any proposition 'questioning the legality of the orgaoizttion of the County or the in itegrity of the County Democratic Executive Committee. After an exhaustive discussion they passed the following preamble and Resolution : Whereas this Executive Committee has .received information that tht? Tillmanites ?erire to submit a proposition ' for our con sideration-looking to the unity of their fac tion with the Straightout Democracy, now organizeoVin Sumter County, Resolved, That the Secretary be appointed to inform the said Tiliman faction that onr Committee is sow io session and ready to bear their proposition. -Jbe Committee :lien took a recess until half past 2;o'clock. At that henr tbe Secretary stated to tbe Committee that the Tillmanites were holding s meeting and were considering the resolution. It was then moved and seconded that a committee of five be appointed to confer with a committee from tbe Tiliman faction for the purpose of meeting and harmonizing the two factions. , -Messrs Manning, Williamson, Rhame, JSrunsonl and Smith were appointed by the chair. The special committee returned at 5 o'clock P. M. and reported to the Executive Commit tee that tb**y made every effort to effect a conciliation with tbe'Tillmanites, but met with no s access. Tbe Ttllmaoitte refused to r pply the vacant places on tbe Executive Committee by a mem ber from each of their twenty-eight clone, demanding that they have equal representa tion on tbe Committee ; that Dr. Hogbson re sign and a new Chairman be appointed. We are informed that Capt. D E. Keels went further than tbe rest and demanded a complete reorganization of the County. THB~ST?LK^P~THE STATE. A few evenings ago, the depot at the A. C. L. R. R. presented a lively bustling scene. It wes the afternoon of the return of tbe delegations from tbe State Convention. Passengers and politicians were there? some borrying to and fro?others standing in groups of four or five, discussing the "situa tion." One old gentleman?a representative farmer?of the ^'Citizen Ashley" type, ex claimed, "Well Ben Tiliman is nominated and we will have to vote for bim, but A. C. Haskell is my choice?be is honest aud true he is tbe 'Star of the State ' " There are many in Sumter who entertain the same high opinion of Judge Haskeil?who diaveno notion that he will listen to the over tures or suggestions of Republican politicians to ron on their ticket for Governor. . We do not believe that this "Star in its ascension" will veer off into those political cloud regions or we conld rely on its light no longer. CONGRESSIONAL CANDI DATES. Hon. John J. Hemphill and Geo. D. Tili man have been nominated for Congress from the 5th and 6th Congressional Districts, respectively. Tbey bave been tried io toe school of experience and have given every satisfaction to tbe people of tbe State. Mr. Bempbill's recent speech in Congress against the passage of the force bill, was able and eloquent and placed him among the strongest debaters io the National Assembly. Mr. Tiliman is a man of sound sense and deer judgment. His late letter giving bis j views on the Sub-Treasury bill was a pow erful paper, and bis speech upon tbe occasion cf his nomination on Friday last is evidence sufficient to shew that be v, ill be a strong ad ocaJe of the ?oterests of the State in his future Congressional career. The State may well congratulate herself on ; the nomination of such representatives. Oar latest information is that Col. D. R. i Duncan will win in the 4th Congressional rare. Even the World concedes that "Duncan's vote i3 probably the larger." Tbe following u the result of the rote for Duncan and Shell?who ler.d in the race: Total", Duncan 3,190, Shell 2J54. 'Hurrah fur Duncan I . The Situation :in Sam ter. To the E<fttor of The News and Conner : After the deputation sent by one faction of the Democratic par ty with propositions looking to har inony and unity.was rejected by the other without even being allowed to make a statemeut of its., mission all hope- of voluntary conciliation be tween the factions was extinguished, and now the only possible way to effect a union is for the State execu tive committee," having authority over bot^tocall both together and let tha^faction which is really in the majority prove its title clear to the party offices. There are now two county chair men and two executive committees. It looks bad for the faction that fears a reorganization. Why fear it if such a faction is in the majority in the county? If not in a majority why de sire control? Let that faction get control which has the most votes. It is idle to talk abont either faction .yielding to the other in the present state of the popular mind, but cer tainly the faction that sought concili- j ation and was turned away in scorn j is not responsible for the deplorable state of-the party in Sumtcr County. Democrat. Answer to the Above. The following has been sent to the News and Courier for publication : Suhtjeb, S. K Seic 18th, 1890. To the Editor of the News and Courier : In your issue of this date an article headed The Situation in Sumter' and signed 'Democrat' leaves an erroneous impression upon the mind. It would make one believe that there has been no reorganization in Sumtcr County, and that the fac tion that acted i?gaiiy and in obedi ence to the call of the County Execu tive Committee is the one now ill fault, while exactly the opposite is the true state of the case. The County Executive Committee met, in response to the call of County Chair man and called a Convention to meet on Monday 8th instant, at 12 o'clock noon. The Convention assembled at 12 o'clock in the C House, the regular place of meeting?was called to order by the bounty Chairman, the roll of all the clubs in the County called., the Convention regularly and legally or ganized. An Executive Committee and a County Chairman elected, and such other business transacted, as properly came before the Convention. In other words the Democratic party of Suinter County was regularly and legally organized. At the same hour the representatives of the Tillman Clubs without any authority assem bled in a hall in another part of the city, elected a President and pro ceeded to organize what they called a Convention. When a representative from that body appeared upon the floor of the regular Democratic Con vention .assembled in pursuance of the call-, of the County Executive Committee, he was treated courteous ly, but was informed that no other Democratic Convention than the legal one could be acknowledged and that no communication could be received from a body that had no legal right to exist. This is a brief statement of facts. The Democrats of Suinter County have legally met and orga nized, and do Lut propose to go over the same work again. They most earnestly desire harmony and peace within their party -lines, and most cordially invite all true Democrats to unite with them fci the furtherance of this desire. They have ordered a primary election for the.nomination of County officers to take place on .the 25th instant, and placed one (and in some instances two) Tiilmanites on every board ot Managers : They de sire to have a full Democratic vote at this election and pledge themselves to abide the result. What fairer terms could be asked ? It is only by a full primary vote that it caa be deter mined who are in the majority and the Anti-Tiilmanites are wining to abide the result. We appeal to every Democrat of Sumtcr County to lay aside personal animosities, and per sonal ambitions, and join together in a primary, election that will evidence the will of the people as to who shall fill their County offices for the ensue ing two years. Then the factions having met on common ground can come together again and once more be a united family. John S. H?ghson, County Chairman of Sumter Co. Suinter, September 18th, 1S90. About Prayer. Ross Cottage, Sept. 6} 1890. Mr. U. R. Thomas : Dear Sib: 4'A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger " After a casual investigation of the subject, I find the following injudicious calls of prayer: Columbus when he landed upon our shores knelt and gave thanks to his Maker for his goodness and mercy. Paul and his ship wrecked company lauding ou Melita offered thanks and adoration. The glorified Siviowr of mankind said pray without ceas ing. King David prayed seven times a day. You ought to have known th.?. an old veteran who was drilled by Lee and Jackson to fiuht and pray, would seize upon your vulnerable position. Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses wh*-n be prayed for the safety and deliverance of Israel. Your political opinions aud your poetical tffusions will pass av-ay as the njoro iog dew. I have always kept in view these beautiful lines of the poet: The lives of great men all remind u3. That we cau m?ke our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Fooipiints on the sands of time.

Dry wine is the only healthful v. ine front j the fact of its containing uu ?ugar und iilile ! alchol. Claret should be drank at a temp?rature of from 65 to 75 degrees.

I , Her Pjayers Useless. An Augusta family was about to move down the river into what was repu'ed to be a malar:*! country. In the family was a little girl. She, like the mother, did not care par ticularly about making the trip. She was saying her evening prayers at her mother's knee the night before their departure. After finishing those she had been taught, she sur prised her mother by adding, with peculiar emphasis, "Now, dood-bye, Dod; to-morrow we are doing to Sleepy Kollow." The pathos of this leave taking would have lost its import if ihat family bad brought with them a supply of Dr. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. As an anti-periodic and stimulant, and as au eradicator of malarial poison and safeguard against its inroads, it is the medi cine of the age. No family in malaria dis tricts can afford to be without it. For sale by all druggists, and wholesale by Dr. A. J. China. WANTS.
