KEEP THE CLUBS RUNNING.

In view of the much talked-of eff
forts on the part of the Republicans
to do big things in South Carolina
next Fall, Lexington County should
hold itself in readiness to roll up the
very largest Democratic majority pos
sible, and to this end every Democrat
should be a member of a club and
every club should hold meetings reg
ularly. To insure effective work
there should be thorough organization
There can be no reasonable objection
to joiuiuga club. No man signs him
self away by putting bis name on a
club list. He simply puts himself in
a position to be of practical service.
1t is tarsasa the elus.(that ~olse~
our strength and are able to use it to
the best advantage. Were there no
clubs or similar organizations by what
means could a vigorous political cam
paign be started or conducted.

A Card from Solicitor Abney.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 8, 1880.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 9, 1880.
Editor Register.-Please permit me
to say to the public that I cannot be
a candidate for reelection before the
next convention of this Judicial Cir
cult. I would gladly accept the Office
of Solicitor again, but I feel that l
need q release from work and a rest
of some months duration.
After an approving conscience, an
officer should most cherish the con-
fdence and the esteem Of those whom
he has served. The evidence l have
of having won these is a rich reward
for the arduous labors I performed in
trying to discharge the duties de-
volved on me during the last four
years; and for this evidence I desire
to return my heartfelt thanks to the
people, the bar and the officers of the
Circuit. Your obedient servant,
JOHN R. ABNEY.

SIGNS OF FEAR.

Ameeting of Republican managers
was held at Fifth Avenue Hotel on
the 5,h instant. From the best in
formation obtainable this conference
had four objects: First, to enable the
politicians to meet Mr.. Garfield; sec
ond, tozsmoke out the Grant men;
third, to see whether there was any
use in making a fight in any of the
southern States; fourth aud partica-
larly. to help raise money for the CAM
paign. Secretary Sherman attended
the conference and made a speech but
in no part of it did he apologize to
General Arthur, who was present, for
removing him from the Custom House
or for his letter declaring that Arthur's
removal was necessary to secure an
honest administration of that Office.
Senator Conkling, although q guest
at the hotel, Vas conspicuous by his
absence. The talk was mostly about
The rr'pcicty 0: n"kinS a contest in
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1880-08-11

the Southern States or leaving them
alone. Mr.. Sypher, of Louisiana,
said that if the election of Garfield
depended on the vote of Southern
States this year, they would better
| abandon the contest now, for there
would be no hope of succeeding.
This is a true and telling admission,
and underlying it, is easily to be seen
the tacit confession of the Republican
party of its inability to carry the next
election. It is also worthy of note
that one of the speakers alluded to
the fact that the vote Of three OF the
southern States was necessary to the
triumph of the Republicans in the
last election. It is none the less In
terestirg at the same time TO hear
Senator Blaine calling loudly for help
in Maine and urging, almost with
tears in his eyes, a strong fight in In
diana. Considerable apprehension
seemed to be entertained for West
Virginia .lso. If "fear is the paid
harbinger Of failure" the Republicans
would as we'll come out in plain En-
glish and acknowledge that they e1-
pert. defeat. The 13S electoral votes
OF the South together with those OF
the Democratic States of the North,
all Of which Hancock has every pros
pect OF carrying as we'll as Pennsyl-
vania, heretofore Republican, at once
bring down the scales on the side OF
the Democracy. Most of the south
ern States will, no doubt, be left to
take care Of themselves, but q desper-
ate effort will probably be made to
carry Florida, South Carolina and
Louisiana by a liberal use Of money.
It is hard for the Republican mana
gers to put on a pretty exterior. The
DISCUSSES are too thin to conceal what
lies behind. There are evidently
signs of uneasiness.

reasons assigned for my absence were

the result of the proceedings of your

While I am placed under increased
obligations to the good people Of
Lexington, I am doubly grateful to
Gen. Paul Quattlebaum, and desire
here publicly to acknowledge my
gratitude to him, for his expressed
approval and manly defense of my
Congressional career.
When the campaign opens I hope
to be able to meet in public the voters
OF Lexington County, and shall then
discuss the various topics concerning
which my views have been attacked
by q public speaker, whose ignorance
Of them appeared to me to be pitiablJ
conspicuous. Till then I have tho

BROAD RIVER TOWNSHIP,
Aug. 2, 1880.

NS
Ness. Editors.-At the barbecue Of
Mark Summer, colored, some of the
Radical speakers told the persons
present, that since the election Of
Hampton the taxes were higher than
before and that the promises which
the Democratic candidates then made
have not, up to this date, been full
filed. They said also, that the
sureties OF D. I. Hendrix, ex-Treas-
urer, who left the county and State
as a heavy defaulter, have not yet been
paid up. In addition, they also COM
planned of the taxes for back school
claims. At our Centreville Club
meeting, on last SATURDAY, these mat
tiers were agian brought up, by some
Of the Greenbackers present, which is
intended to weaken the Democratic
ranks. I deplore very much that
some few of our citizens in the upper
portion of the county have lately
Joined that party. But, in justice to
our present administration, I bore
that Mr.. N. D. Hartman, Auditor, will
at once inform the people of Lexing-
ton County whether Mr.. D.. I. Hen
dirk sureties have not made q full
settlement with him. Rev. Rast, the
School Commissioner, will also please
inform the voters how it happens
that the county has to pay taxes to
satisfy those claims. Let him look
over his books and see how, and by
whose fault those claims originated.
1t is the right Of every citizen of the
county to complain when he thinks
there is q rotten administration Of
some OF the public officers; but it is
also fully as right to deny those
charges, if they r wrong. Messrs.
Hartman and Rast are the proper Of
6cials and they will please, therefore,
as soon as possible, through the
columns of the Dispatch and Summit
Courier, make a plain and full state
meut of the matter, as it is intended
to muddy the now clear running
stream of Democracy. In conclusion
I only say that the upper portion of
Board River Township will do her
part in carrying the next election for
our National, State and County Of
fcers.
T hope all candidates will come
over to friend Oliver Fulmer's barbe-
cue and explain to the people their
views. DEMOCRAT.

Messrs. Editors.-It will ne seen by
the notice in another columu that Col.
Johu T. Sloan, Jr, Of Columbia, has

the Solicitorship OF this %circuit.
Col. Abuey after mature deiibera-

so I had heard of no opposition to

AbDey felt constrained not to accept

SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS
LOOKING Up.

There is little doubt that the South
Carolina Radicals will make a fight
this Fall. The speeches delivered at
a Garfield ratification meeting recent
~ held in Columbia, all point to a
disposition on the part of the Repub-
licans in this State to cut something
of q dash in the next election. It is
generally believed that they will put
forward q full State ticket, not with
any hope of electing it, but because it
would probably tend to strengthen
the chances 10 regain one o. two OF
the Congressional Districts. The
Presidential election coming off, also,
decent respect for Garfield will no
doubt impel them to make as big a
show and put forth as strong efforts
as possible. Besides, the Greenback-
ism and Independentism cropping ont
in some parts of the State, no doubt
go a long way towards inspiring the
Republicans with hope. Greeuback-
ers and Independents are not over
nice as to the company they keep, as
evidenced 81 their recen: fusion with
the Republican party in Alabama.
Indeed, the Radical, the Greenbacker
and the independent have a melting
tenderness for each other here in the
South-a strong affinity. What sort
OF a compound the three together
would make remains to be seen. AL
ALBANIA was unwilling to run the risk
of showing to the world what manper
Of thing it would be, and it is to be
hoped that every other southern
State will follow her example. It
may turn out that an effort will be
made by this trinity in South Caro-
lima. However this may be, we should
be ready, as we are able, to retain
absolute control of the State, and to
elect five Democratic congressman.
There is no need of becoming at all
frightened, but it is well enough to
remember aud observe the maxim,
Never despise a foe" The RAIDS
bear watching and it would be no
harm for the Democratic party from
now until after the election to sleep
with one eye open. With at leas,
10000 more negro voters in the State
than white, We might very easily be
over-con6dent Of security. At any
rate, what is worth doing at all is
worth doing well, andif we should be
called upon to whip these fellows
again, let's give them q sounder drub-
bing than eve
