BG BRANCH, April 2i, 1880
AS the tine is drawing near when it will be
in ordor TO drag from retirement those patriotic
gentlemen who are ever 80 reluctant to sacrifice
thoir personal interest for the public good, 1t
may he as well TO survey the ground.
Ante GeLlum the Shibboleth Of party in South
Carolina was principles, not men," man was
selected with view to his capacity to discharge
the trust confided to him. 1t may not have been
strictly complied with always, but that was the
watchword. Post6elium the question seems to be,
what has he done for the party-what services
has he rendered? and every follow who has
made stump speech or treated to half pint
of whiskey expects to be paid for it by being
elected to some office.
The greed for office, the pitiful ambition to
fill some public position, is just now the bane Of
party Now we take it that every man who
fought in the war or who fought in the great
battle of State restoration only simrly did his
duty to his country and nothing more. IL was
his duty as well as his interest to do So
Nevertheless, it is but proper in comparing the
merits Of individuals to throw into the scale the
| services rendered never forgetting, however,
the fitness of the man for the place he is to I'LL.
1t is not just to the man himself or the people
he represents to put him in position he cannot
fill acceptably to his constituents and creditably
to himself.
Unfortunately, in all communities there will
be found men who place too high an estimate
| upon their own worth the worth of their th-
vorites. They see only through their own glasses,
e-aM shoi, "isi..- o"a .>st e~.~riied 9th they
become sore-heads, accuse the Convention or
Primary of fraud, trickcry, wire pulling of be-
| ing governed by village cliqucs, and soon run
into Independents. Now, L have had good
deal to do with conventions and while was not
| always satisfied with the selections made and
| was painfully convinced that good deal of the
work was "cut and dried before the convcn-
tion met, believed it was the peoples own fault
| Il mean the masses. Very often the men that
do the most grumbliug do the least work. a
neighborhood meeting is called 10 send delegates
to the County Convention and not half the neigh
borhood turns out; few persons wanting office
! for themselves or favorites manage the whole
| affair the convention meets and these very men
who wouldn't bulge from home to send delegates
| to q Convention or 60 to a Primary are the
greatest grumblers and want an Independent
ticket. Every failure can be traced to those
men who won't turn out.
The solution of the problem will be found in
the people taking general and sincere interest,
in Convention or Primary, in sending their best
men to the Convention, or turning out en- mdsse
at the Primary and giving their vote for the men
they think competent and trustworthy We
have too much at stake now to be triiing or
playing Independent. TRUTH.

Prepare to Elect Delegates.

Ii is only three weeks from tomorrow when
the people Of each Township will be called upon
to meet together and elect three delegates to
represent them in q County Convention to be
held on the following Tuesday, the 18th, at
Union G. ii. The main object of the County
Convention is to elect four delegates to the State
Convention to be held in Columbia on Tuesday,
the 1st of June.
The Count y Convention will also control matters
of vast Importance to the democratic party in
Union and should he composed Of the most in
telligent and reliable men in the County. In
the first place, tho State Convention will not
only elect delegates to the National Convention at
Cincinnati. to nominate Democratic Candidates
for President and Vice President, but will de-
eide whether the State Ticket shall be nomina-
ted at that meeting or deferred to a later day.
Delegates to the County Convention should be
chosen with the view of representing the wishes
of the democrats Of Union upon that question.
The Uonnty Convention should also represent
the wishes Of the people upon tho way the Coun-
ty nominations should be madc-whethor by n
Convention or through Primary election.
These arc all important matters and will, in u
great measure. if not altogether, depend upon
the interest the Democrats take in the Township
meetings. After the Township meetings these
matters will be in the power of the County Con.
vcntion and the County Executive Committee to
decide, and unless the will of the people il un
mistakcably expressed through their delegates,
elected by majority Of voters aud after full
and fair interchange Of opinions at the Town
ship meetings, there can lie no certainty that
the result will he satisfactory, aud the usual
amount Of grmmbling and disa'fcction will ensuc.
We have no hesitancy in saying that those
democrats who ,iH mt attend ihc Township
meetings and by their counscls and votes express
their wishes upon tie important Ii'S!ioh' ""

BRINGING THE FACTORIES TO THE CoTTON.-
The town of Rock Hill is to have cotton facto-
ry, and 1t is the intention to have it in operation
by next November. The Rock Hill Herald says
that Captain A. +. IIutchison, President Of the
company, returned last Sunday from Providence,
Rhode Island, where he has been in its inter
ests' anu where he contracted for 5000 spindles,
to be delivered by tho lst of November The
factory building will be located near the depot,
and will employ about sixty operatives, for
whom cabins will be built. 1t is estimated that
5000 spindles will consume about 800 bales of
cotton per annum, and the directors intend to
add 5000 spindlcs more during the next year
The Herald says that the directors are energetic
cntcrprising gentlemen, and are backed by plen-
tty OF money. Captain Hutchinson speaks high
ly Of the kind treatment he received at Provi-
dencc, but he does not have very high opinion
OF the fertility Of the Rhode Island land.-C1l

Pay Your Taxes.

ray Your Taxes.
We call attention to the changes made in the
Treasurer's advertisement of the days he will
meet the Tax payers of the several Townships
to receive the first installment Of ther taxes.
The penalty for not paying the first INSTALL
ment is the addition of per cent. on the
amount then due. The second instalment will
be called for on the 10th Of September, and after
the 3lst of October the penalty of Is per cent.
upon the whole tax and the 5 per cent upon
the first half, not paid in May, will be added to
all taxes unpaid at that time. AS o matter of
economy all who can possibly do so should meet
the Treasurer in May and pay at least the first
half Of their taxes. 1t would also he of great
advantage to the Commissioners, as they will
stand much in need Of money to pay the June
Court expenses and meet other necessary ex-
pen ses Of the County.
