A COMPLAINT. We hear many
complaints from Western Wateree
about the way in which some OF our
prominent men have acted since the
Convention vas held. Before that time
they could get as many speakers as they
wanted to address any public gathering;
but now there is only one man in the
county that they can count on, (we will
not give his name, for reasons best
known to us). 1t is not long now be-
fore the election, so let all the Demo-
Gratis aid in getting up that spirit of en-
thusiasm that filled the hearts of our
people in 1876, and we are sure to win.
It is a duty we owe to our State and to
ourselves, and if we only do ha!fas much
as we ought. success will crown our
efforts on the 9Th of November.

Coop SENSE PREvAILED.-Seme
excitement was created in Camden DUR
ing the latter part of last week on ac-
count of a report that six colored COM
panies with arms, would parade through
our streets in defiance of law and the
orders of the adjutant general, tele-
graphed to their commander, and
printed in THE JOURNAL several weeks
ago. The report brought to Camden
on that day a sufficient number of
commissioned troops to have effectively
prevented such a proceeding. For
tuna,ely the colored companies. with
good sense, or by good advice, did not
appear; and the peace and dignity of
the State was not violated.

ground to the apprehension of conflict

population for their observance of the
law, and TO commend their leaders for
advising them properly. As general
thing, the colored people Of this county
