DEMOCRAT-STJR.

With this issue we send greetings
to our numerous readers through
the columns of the DEMOCRAT
STAR. The consolidation of the
two papers We consider will he an
advantage to the patrons OF the
paper as well as to the proprietors.
To subscribers, for the reason
that with two at the helm instead OF
one, more time and attention can be
devoted by the II on whose
shoulders falls the responsibility OF
editing the paper, and, he giving his
entire labors to that department,
will have better opportunities of
keeping up his branch than hereto
fore, and hence we expect to give
to our readers q newsy, live and
vigorous paper every week ; one
second to none in the State in So far
as our ability may lie.
Then the consolidation will be of
great benefit to u advertisers,
from the fact that we have a large
and increasing circulation, perhaps
larger than any paper in the State,
and therefore those who may wish
to make their business widely
known can find no better medium of
communication than the columnsof
the DEMoCRAT-STAR.
One of the proprietors will devote
his entire time and attention to the
business management OF the Office,
thus securing much that would
otherwise be lost. His capabilities
and qualifications for this branch OF
the business are well known to
thousands, and his successful man
agement of his paper for the past
twenty-five years is a sufficient
guarantee that the DEMOCRAT
STAR will have q constant and in
creasing circulation andadvertising
patronage.
Tne nnion of the two papers will,
we think, benefit not only the place
where we are located, but the whole
coast section, because one of
the proprietors will be constantly
among the people, finding out the
news, obtaining their opinions upon
various topics of local interest, and
Will better be enabled to know the
wants and wishes of the citizens.
1t 'is our desire, while wishing to
promete and foster the interest OF
the whole State, to work especially
for the nfateriai development OF the
seacoast section and counties ada
cent. We wish to aid in inducing
immigration to flow into Our beau
tiful and sunny cline; we want to
see more WOODEN and cotton mills
built up and sustained F; We desire
to see many more hundreds of acres
planted in sugar cane, oranges,
etc. to encourage sheep raising
here in our natural parks; to have
the Ship Island and Ripley railroad
built through the State TO the
coast, and numerous and divers
other industries and enterprises
promulgated. All these things can
md will be accomplished, and to
that end we will devote Il energies
md what ability we may possess.
Our circulation already extends
over several States, and Il bust
ness is steadily increasing, but we
desire to still push ahead and pub
lish a paper that no one in this sec
can affort to do without.

shame that 4 mrn should be allowed to
set at defiance the laws of God and man !;
and yet such is the case in Camden.

every Sunday, and I am told by those
who pass certain Bar Rooms that the
rafting of tumbers and decanters can
be distinctly heard, at almost any hour.
It is digrace to our town and we call
on our Council to put a stop to it, and
if it cannot be stopped otherwise, revoke
every license where they have good rea-

THE sun FOR 1879.

The Sun will be printed every day dur.
ing the year to come. Its purpose anu
method will be the same as in the past;
To present all the news in n readable shaI 6. =.
and to tell the truth though the heavens
fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue
to be independent of everybody and every
thing save the Truth and its own convic-
tions of duty. That is the only policy
which an honest newspaper need have.
That is the policy which has won for this
newspaper the confidence and friendship
of q wider constituency than was ever en-
joyed by any other American Journal.
THE Sun is the newspaper for the people.
1t is not for the rich man against the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to do justice to all inter-
ests in the community. 1t is not the organ
of any person, class, sect or party. There
need be no mystery about its loves and
hates. 1t is for the honest man agalnsqns
rogues every time.
The Sun has fairly earned the hatred Of
rascals, frauds and humbugs of oil SORTS
and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred
not less in the year 1879, than in 1873,
1877, or any yerr gone by. The Sun Will
continue to shine on the wicked with uE-
mitigated brightness. ::
The present disjointed condition Of par.
ties in this country, and the uncertainty OF
future, lend an extraordinary significance
to the events of the coming year. The dis'
cussions of the press, the debates and acts
of Congress, and the movements Of the lea
ders in every section Of the Republic will
have direct bearing on the Presldential
election Of 18S0-an event which must 90
regarded with the most anxious interest
by every patriotic American, whatever his
political ideas or allegiance. To these ele-
ments of interest may be added the pToea-
bility thatthe Democrats will control both
houses of Congress, the increasing feeble
ness of the fraudulent Administration, and
the spread and strengthening everywhere
of q health adherence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each ofits varying phases,
and to expound, according to its we'll
known methods, the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, will be an
important part Of THE Sus's work Tor
1879.
We have the means Of making The Sun,
as political, q literary and general
newspaper, more entertaining and more
useful than, ever before; and we mean to
apply thtA freely. -;
Our rates Of the subscription remain un-
changed. For the DAILY Sun, four page
sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by

The Pic MIC AT SAND HILL.-The
meeting was called to order by MIR. L.
L. Dixon. Captain T. L. Boykin was
called to the chair and Mr.. W. NJ. Shan.
non, Jr.. requested to act as Secretary.
Col. Shannon was the first speaker, fol-
lowed by Capt. DePass, Judge Leitner
and Mr.. T. A. Moore. We are sorry
that we wero not there carly enough to
hear the address of Col. Shannon and
Capt. DePass, as we understand they
were admirable, and Judge Lietncr had
also nearly finished his address when
we arrived. However, it'was not too
late to hear some sound advice given to
the Democratic party by the Judge as
10 tn cir duty in the coming election.
They have not shown that interest and
enthusiasm that tho occasion demands
of all good citizens, and as the time is so
short now, it would be good idea it
each Democrat would consider it his
duty-and pledge himself to it, TOTO
90 to work and win over at least one
Radical and persuade him to vote the
Democratic ticket.
Judge Leitner was followed by Mr.
T. A. Moore, one Of the Democratic
nominees for County Commissioner
He assured them that it was the first
time he had ever attempted to make 0
speech III his life, therefore they must
not expect much, as he would not de-
tain them long. He fully indorSed
what the other speakers had said, and
related several little anecdotes very ap'
propriate to the occasion. His address
was highly appreciated by all present
until the close, when he wound up by
abusing himself as speaker "a raj
which none thought he desesvee) by
likening himself unto certain preacher
and his servant. One day while preach
ing. the divine noticed his servant
acting as if be was taking notes of tht
