Ben Franklin once wrote

'Hc who by the pIow would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive"
These lines were very popular, in theirday,
and even now are occasionally quoted by old
fosies. But some person has ecliPsed them
by bringing out the following:
E'He who by his big would rise.
Must either bust advertise"

in reference to the report Of the Committee on
Platform was this, that IL embodied only the
past existing facts. He thought 1t should be
progressive. 1t was confined alone to the
State, while, in his view, 1t should 80 out.
In support of the report Of the committee,
General NJ. C. Butler, of Edgefeld, said:
REMARKS OF GENERAL BUTLER.
Mr. President and Gentlemen Of the Con-
uention- Having had the honor OF introducing
the platform which is the subject of discus
sion. I feel called upon to endorse what has
fallen from my dis -inguished friend. If ever
there was time when the good sense OF our
people,. black and white, should he invoked in
determining what Is best for the interests OF
South Carolina, that occasion is the present.
We have assembled for no child's play, but 10
show our earncstneSs i'm movement that
promises to rebound to the common good.
I'VE are not here for the purpose OF skirmiSll-
ing, or interchanging random shots with the
opposite party, but to work like men, like the
children of one mother, for her welfare and
her peace. [Applause.l
Now what are the issues before us On the
one side we see long, dark line; on the other
ON array of pale faces, in hostile antagonism,
while all around us are political vultllres, flap
ping their wings and gorging themselves upon
the carcasses that fall beneath their blows.
That, sir, is the picture, and no man In South
Carolina can deny it. But, I ask, is that an
tagenism natural one =? Has it been pro.
diced by natural causes I? No! Black and
white. we are a common people and have a
common destiny-and there is no reason why
we should not be united in all our
purposes, save that between the two
races an element has been interposed
which has the cunning to promote strife,
And the object of this platform is TO heal
the differences that have arisen, and to recon
cile all misunderstanding that have occurred
misfortune has been partially of our own crea
tion-1reler to the white people of South Car
| olna. We have never put ourselves in q con
dition in which the colUred people could vost

Mr.. President-I desire, and think it pro-
per, to say something explanatory OF the view
and purpose entertained by the movers IN the
matter of the nlatform, and the precise idea
which thew ondeavored TO express, and to dem
onstrate. ii can, that they have, in the result
Of their labors, embodied that idea. You, Mr.
President, and all the gentlemen OF this Con-
xention. are wen aware that it is peculiar
and difficult thing which we propose to accom-
nlish i'm this platform. UP to this time, there
have been two peoples in South Carolina whose
interests are identical, whose feelings and
svmnathies upon almost all subjects are iden-
ticai. but who have been brought Into direct
and even angry antagonism upon political
subjects. And that antagOnism has been
wrought, not upon any sound or truthful
basis, but by the artful interposition OF
a different people between those tWo
fraternal races of inhabitants OF South Caro-
lima. That different people have artfuly SELF
ed upon and interposed certain pre-existing
facts to lay the foundation of perpetual dis
der that they may iniqutousy profit thereby.
TApplause and lapghter.l / am sorry to say,
for nv race, that the artful intrigues OF these
artfnl men have, to "a certain extent, engen-
dered antagonisms in the hearts of the whites
toward the colofed races, an antagonlsm that
did NOT exist before they intervened. on the
other hand. we know that our colored friends
have acquired false ideas as to the intents, pur-
noses. sentiments and feelings OF their white
brethren from the same source, anu that
when we approach them in the words OF con
citation and kindness, they are asslduouSly

The OoIlectorship, Again.

:" +
The first duty which our newly appoint
ed Deputy Marshal has been called upon
to perform-we assume that he has been
called upon-is to circulate petition fol
the removal of Gen. George j. Stannard,
together with divers reports calculated to
injure the reputation of that brave soldier
and honest man. Now we take the lib
erty to say to our friend Cady, that
whether his task is self-imposed, or is per-
formed at the bidding of his superior, it
is one not calculated to bring him honor.
If his appointment as Deputy was made
upon the hard condition of helping to I'M
dermine the reputation of Gen. Stannard,
it was much too dearly bought. We have
nothing but the most kindly feelings to-
wards Mr.. Cady; we have nothing 70 say
about the imputations Of chicanery in pro-
curing his late appointment; we would
not repeat the many charges we have
heard brought against his competency,
etc, as Treasurer, etc, ct Morristown
but we are sorry that he has engaged in
this unholy work of attempting the ruin
of the noble, one-armed Stannard, In
competent, is he? Let his record attest.
He has proved himself competent to raise
the revenue of his district from three
hundred thousand dollars to one and-a-half
million in a little more than three years
administration competent to clean the
service of a horde of thieves and loafers
and ill their places with, in the main,
honest men. Competent. to collect this
greatly increased revenue at greatly re-
duced per cent. of cost to the government.
We say again to our friend Cady, that
when you are circulating the petition for
Gen. STANDARDS removal, and at the same
time insinuating these reports injurious to
his well-earned good name, you are not
"laying up treasure in heaven" Rather
than join the pack of political wolves
that are now bowling on STANDARDS track,
ravening for office, we would edit coun-
try newspaper for living! l

Death Of the Hon. Vim. Clapp.


We are called upon this week to an
nounce the death of Hon. VIM. Clapp, O
st. Adams, which took place on Saturday
morning of last week. Mr.. Clapp had
been sick with heart disease for severaI
months, was the most ofthe time confined
to his house, and a great sufferer, Up to
within few days of his death, however,
he insisted on performing the many little
Offices himself which the sick generally
require others, so unwilling was he TO be
source of trouble to his kind and atten-
tive friends. Though, as said above, he
suffered much, he bore his sufferings I'M
complainingly; and during his sickness
his mechanical and inventive genius was
not idle, as is shown in the work, highly
priced by his friends, which he left be-
hind him.,
Mr.. Clapp was born at Montgomery,
April 80, 1871, and was consequently
just fifty-uiue years old at the time Of his
death. He commenced his mercantile
life at the age of seventeen, as clerk for
Hon. Asa Wheeler in Montgomery. Be,
