THE BpuTH CAROLINA PLAN.


means Of terrorism employed by tho Tilden-:
itos Of South CarolinA to prevent tho negroes
from voting. Tho Charlcston Nncs and
Courier, of Oct. I, fanaticM Democratic
sheet, giyos some details Of tho Preference
Policy" which arc significant. Intelligence
Offices hare boon opened where persons ''in
accord with tho party Of honesty and reform
who aro in aonroh Of employment or deserve
patronage can onroll their na1nos, and whero
applications can DO made by those who can
find work or places for any Of HaapToNs
men," Tic preference ia to bo given to
"HAnr1os's +" 1nen," also, in the rontirg Of
land aud hiring Of labor. Tho Nescs and
Courier says:
One ca pltallst In tho nllddla country, who has
lent 975, 900 thts year TO sua1l farmers, chiefly
colorcd men, agricultural lions, has given fair
notice that hereafter nil the moncy liz ns to lcn1,
10 tbs lust dollar, will 10 to tho followers Of HAar
TON. Merchants In different places arc taking tho
Same ssand. They will gEvo credit to HAxrToNs
mcn md mono other. In Grecnylllo ono white
planter has notified his hanls that In tho oyent Of
HAulToSs election he can afford to pay them, and
will pay them, 80 month moro than ho now pays
them. Ttlosa labotGrs are xtaloua Democrats as
any in tic county.
Tho real meaning Of this is a notification
to colorcl mon that, unless they vote the
T1EpEN ticket, they cannot ront land, cannot
obtain work, aud cannot sell to Democrats or
purchase from them. It Is ostraciBtn in its
worst form. It says to tho negro, Vote tho
T11DEs ticket, atarye, or loayo the State. If
thcro bo nry negro in South Carolina to
whom this has not been said, 1t Is because
tint negro has boen SHOT by the riao cluba,
which aro oloctionoering for TtLDEN by
brcaking up Republican 1noo.inga and killing
negroes who will not agree to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
In tho face of this Wholesale disfrauchising
Of Republicans, VIC ars trcated by Democratic
newspapers to the following extracts from
speeches said to havu boon made by WADE
HAMPTON:
