WHICH IS NECEssARY.-A few
weeks ago a combination of circum'
stances caused our cotton market to be
little weak. Evil report spreads fast,
and we hrve heard that there nave been
several farmers in Darlington, Sumter.
and other counties surrounding this
market, who have carried bale or two of
their cotton elsewhere to try the market.
Planters who have been here lately can
testify that the price they obtained was
better than could be cotton anywhere in
the interior.
Our duty as correct disseminator OF
news requires US to say to our farmer
friends that Camden still continues to
be the best cotton market 10 the whole
up-country.

ty. He held the floor for abont thirt..
minutes. but said little or nothing 70
or against any man or party of men
This discussion was then closed by Mr.
W. D. Trantham, our county Chairman
who in n speech of three quarters of al
hours length covered the whole ground
meeting successfully every argumen
that had been advanced by Thompson
and Salmond. and convincing all presen
whose minds could be influenced by
the power Of reasoning that the Demo
cratic party is emphatically the party
not of the poor man alone, but Of all
good citizens, and showing The Republi,
can even Of ordinary intelligence he can
longer oppose its progress without
having both his good sense and his
honesty questioned. Mr.. Trantham's
remarks, which elected frequent ap-
plause from the Democrats, made a
profound impression upon the Radicals,
and especially wnen he said: "By the
Providence cf God we are here together,
and here we must stay; and as we dwell
upon the same soil, drink from the same
springs, breathe the same atmosphere,
and bask in the light of the same snn,
50 are our interests inscparsble. For
the sake of peace and harmony, which
are far better than contention and
strife, we invite, wo urge you to unite
with us. Come with US if you choose,
but stay away if you like. 1t is just as
you please-not that we care. But un'
derstaud that, with or with or without
you, we shall move constantly aud surely
forward to the ful6llment of our grand
mission. I know whereof | speak. Two
thousand and FIVE Democrats already en-
rolled, one hundred who have not con-
nected themselves with clubs, and i've
hundred men who are coming over to
US from the ranks of the Radical party
will do the work, and when the sun sets
on the 5.h ofNovember it will be upon
a triumphant Democracy, and upon a
county forever relieved from the curse
of radicalsm."
Mr.. Trantham also paid his respects
to certain gentlemen on Western Wa
teree who are said to have Independent
proclivities. He told the colored peo-
pie that if. at any stage of the game.
there was any man in the Democratic
party. who because he wanted office and
couldn't get it. or for any other cause,
wanted to leave his own people, he was
at liberty to 90, and the Radicals were
welcome to all such cattle. All Of the
Democratic speeches were listened to
with marked attention by the colored
men present, who were palpably dis
gusted with their own speakers when
convicted of making false statements,
and made to acknowledge that they were
false.
Western Waterre will be all right on
the day of the election.
RED SHIRT
The Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, S.C.) 1866-1891, 1878-09-26

After refreshments at the Jervey
House, the procession was reformed
and proceeded to Monumental Square
where q handsomely decorated stand
had been erected for the speakers. Fully
5000 persons were present, including
many ladies'. The colored people were
largely represented, in red shirts, on
horse and on foot.
! About - m., Colonel T. B. Frsser,
chairman of the Sumter Democratic
Executive Committee, introduced to the
large and enthusiastic audience Gov
ernor Wade Hampton, who was greeted
with bouquets and heartfelt applause.
The Governor delivered an impressive
address, urging upon the Democrats an
earnest and full discharge of their duties
and appealing to the colored men to
realize the benefit to accrue to them by
linking their fortunes with those of their
white friends.
At the conclusion of Gov. Hampton's
address, Sam Lee, the leader of the
Republicans in Sumter County inter
rupted the meeting by endcavoring to
PROFOUND question. This interference
was the eanse of little excitement, as
Sam Lee has rendered himself odious to
the people of Sumter and the timely
presence Of Governor Hampton, Senator
Butler. General Kennedy, and other In
fuential and prudent Democrats, pre-
vented the eJectment of Sam Lee from
the grounds, Lee was subsequently
given place upon the stand, and pri-
vate conversation between he and the
Governor was satisfactory to the former.
General Butler was next introduced.
by his timely introduction and impress
sive manner, he restored good order.
Ee pleased the ladies, enthused the
white men and captivated the colored
portion of his audience.
Judge John +. Bncon, of Richland,
Attorney-General Youmans, Hon. John
S. Richardson, Of Sumter, candidate for
Congress from this District, General
John D. Kennedy, Chairman Of the
State Democratic Executive Committee,
and Colonel James g. Gibbes, followed
in i'm IMPRESSIVE and humorous addresses,
which were received with hearty ap-
plause.
The colored Representative, Westberry,
who will be remembered as one who left
the Mackey House, and allied himself
with the Wallace House, was con-
spicuous member of the procession, in
red shirt, and occupied place upon the
stand. He was frequently referred to
IN the course of the addresses.
Good order was feature of the oc.
casion, considering the numbers press
ent.
An inspection of the troops was held
previous to the arrival of the Governor,
which reflected great credit on the citi,
zen soldiery
Sumter is sure for the Democracy by
a big majority, and to-day's demunstra-
tion has doub'y ensured it.-Register.

THAT BALLooN.-A good deal Of
excitement was created in Camden On
the evening of Hampton day (last We'd
nesday) by a small balloon, 1t was
known by very few persons that snch
a thing was to be sent up. Hence the
surprise.

that some great astronomical event was
about to take place, as he saw what he
supposed to be star approachIn
another, and he ran to get his telescope
to view the collision but before he re-
turned, the supposed star had passed
the other, and By the aid of the telescope
he then discovered that it was balloon
floating through space.
Another man thought it was burn
ing comet. One said it was an @roIite,
as he had heard the report of an ex-
plosion, and that was one of the pieces
coming to the earth.
A darkey who saw it was so frightened
he hardly knew what to do, but said
