A NEW POLITICAL TERM.

AS an outcome of the recent redistricting
of South Carolina, it is probable that "Dibble''
will take the place of s'Gerrymander'' in the
political slang of the day. 1t is amusing to
read the bitter comments of the Republican
press which overlooks the beam in it's own eye
in it's eagerness to pick the mote from South
Cardinals optical organ. South Carolina is re-
districted according to a plan suggested by
Hon. Samuel Dibble, which plan Mr. Dibble
discovered in Republican Pennsylvania. But
according to the New York Times, the plan,
when applied to South Carolina avowedly for
the purpose Of perpetuating honest govern
ment, becomes /. new political monster. That
paper thus Dewi.ils the situation
The otherwis, honorable name of Elbridge
Gerry, of massachusetts one Of the signers OF
the Declarations OF Independence, is forever
linked with the unique monster which was de-
lneated OH the map of his State, when he was
it's governor ald the political leader of one of
it's parties, to represent Congressional dis
trict. The process of so dividing a State into
districts as to give the party in control of the
Legislature the greatest practical advantage in
Congressional representation has been known
as gerrvmandering ever since this isaclleyement
of the Massachusetts governor. There has al
ways been somewhat peculiar association be-
tween the States of Massachusetts and South
Carolina, but it has been one of antagonism
rather than rivalry. But the Massachusetts
of 1912 has been outdone by the South Carroll
na of 1882, and we are in need of new name
for the monstrosities with which Mr.. Samuel
Dibble has covered the map of his State in the
late redistricting. The convolutions of the
Seventh District put to utter shame the com.
paratively symmetrical contour of the original
gerrymander. 1t should be known as the Dib-
bic, without prefix or slltiX, which is sufficient.

STATE POLITICAL ITEMS.

| - The total number of registration certifi
Gates issued in Spartanburg county is OBS, OF
| which number 1881 are white and 1921 col
ored.
- According to the report of the supervisor
of registration the white majority in Marion
is 1,05S The Marion Star says: $50 Demo
cracy is safe in Marion, if the Democrats
themselves don't kill it by divisions and quar-
res in their own family"
- Col. f. B. Cash has announced himself a:
an Independent candidate for Congress in the
First district and says that he will demand &
fair election and will hold the ballot box stuff
ers personally responsible if they undertake tt
count him out by means of tissue ballots.
AS regards registration in Edgefield county
the whites and blacks are about equal in mum
ber About thirty-tive hundred of each have
registered. But this does not make both col
ors equal at the polls, for at least five hundred
of the negroes who have registered-and mole
probably-are Democrats.
- Says the Greenville Nems "The Green
vile Democracy is very wide awake and very
much in earnest. The two years of rest has
not put the party to sleep OF divided it. When
the roll is called every man will be found in
his place in ranks ready to answer to his name
and do his duty.
In the Fifth District there are five candi-
dates Gen. John i. Erwin and Col. John d.
Wylie, of Lancaster; Mr.. John J. lIemphill,
of Chester; w. b. Wilson, Esq, and Col.
Asbury Coward, Of York. These are new
men and will come in conflict with no one
who is now member of Congress.
The Richland County Democratic Conven-
ton, last Saturday, adopted the convention
system instead of the primary plan of nomina-
ting county officers and members of the Gen
eral Assembly. This amendment was adopt
ed by vote of 81 to 20 the whole membership
of the convention being 81.
- 1t is reported in the newspapers that Sena-
tor Fislburne was over in Camden ''inVestiga-
ting'' the killing of Colonel Blair. 1t is stated
that he applied to the United States Commits
sioner for Il warrant to arrest Captain Halle,
but the Federal official declined to act in the
matter.
The Chester Bulletin of last week contains
an item to the effect that Judge Mackey says
he will not advocate his plan of harmoniZing
the white and colOred races until the colored
people of the county hold a Convention, and
offer to support the entire white ticket on con-
dition that the colored people shall have fair
representation on it.
In the Chester County Democratic Conven-
tion last Monday, eight delegates were elected
to the State Convention and eight to the Con-
gressional Convention. The former were in
structed to support Gen. Bratton for Cover
nor, and the latter are understood to favor
the nomination of j. J. IIemphill for Congress-
The primary system for nominating county
officers was adopted.

JUDGE WALLACE.

From the following letter published in the
Charleston Neus and Courier of last Monday,
it will be seen that Judge Wallace perempto-
rily declines to allow his name to 60 before the
State Convention for nomination for Govern
or:
suggestions of my name in connection with
the nomination of Governor by the approach
ing Democratic Convention having appeared
in the newspapers | think it right that |
should make public statement in regard to
| the matter.
In the early part of the present year a feel
ing of discomfort existed in some parts of the
State among good men who were strongly op-
posed to certain conspicuous enactmentS of
| the Legislature. Time and opportunity for
reflection have satisfied these that every gen.
eral election in South Carolina involves more
momentOus issues than are supplied by the
| Registration Act and Stock law, and that
they cannot, in good conscience, because they
are opposed to certain Acts of the Legislature,
imperil good government by indifference, or
active opposition to the only party i'll the
State that can secure it to its people. And now,
with insignificant exceptions, our gallant and
patriotic people are united with respect to the
approaching political contest. The political
situation in this State points with absolute
certainty to the easy election of any nominees
that the Democratic Convention will nOm-
nate.
The duties of my present office are in the
line of the labor of many of the best years of
my life. l trust l will be pardoned for saying
that an experience of nearly five years in per-
forming them has prepared me to render more
substantial service to the State in my present
office than / possibly can as candidate for
Governor.
These reasons together with others which
need not he stated but which are imperative,
require me to decline to allow my name to 60
before the Convention denomination for Gov
ernor. w. II. WALLACE.

tice and in giving ample time for the discus
sion of all questions of legislation, and for a
full explanation of the course of the last Leg
islature regarding some of the Acts passed by
that body. Perhaps IA perfect understanding
of this subject by the people will strengthen
and solidify the Democratic party. Conduct
ing the campaign with sufficient time to OBJ

primaries, will be conclusive and satisfactory
as verdict rendered by the people.

SAYS there are not less than $50 hostiles out on
the war path and that they have their wives
and children with them. The hostiles belong
to White Mountain Indians, and Bailey who
has had large experience with them, says they
have gone out to stay. The outbreak has been
expected for the last six weeks and confirms
the threat made to Col. Bracket some time
ago, by the Chief of the White Mountain tribe,
that unless they were allowed to 60 and live
in Pleasant Valley, they would leave the res
ervation. The first killing in the outbreak
was on the 9th inst, and matters appear now
very serious.
- In 1867 a number of ex-Federal and eX'
Confederate officers went to Egypt and enter
ed the military service at the invitation or the
Khedive, and it is now conceded that as far as
the Egyptian army has any efficiency it is their
creation. Prominent among these were Gen
eral Charles P. Stone Of the Federal army,
who was defeated at Balls Bluff; Generals
w. w. Loring and Raleigh E. COlston, Col
onel Thomas G. Rhett, General Joseph f.
JOhnston's Adjutant General, Colonel Walter
II. Jenifer, of Maryland, and DIR. Edward
Warren Of Baltimore, all of whom served in
the Confederate army, and Colonel c. G. Long,
of Maryland. 1t was not long before the
American officers began to feel a hostile pres
sure, and they gradually abandoned the service
OF the khedlVe, until General stone IS no"
the only American officer of prominence in
the Egyptian army, and it is extremely doubt
full if he will be permitted to retain any i'm
portant command if a religious war grows out
of the present situation. Colonel Jenifer, af-
ter some years. service, returned to Maryland
and died several years ago. DR.. Warren after
obtaining great distinction in the medical de-
partment and having the title of Bey confer
red on him by the Khedive, was obliged to
abandon Egypt because of his injured eye
sight, and is now an eminent physician in
Paris, France; Colonel Long, after perform
ing much arduous service returned to this
country and lectured in the principal cities.
He is now in Egypt, but not in the army
