YORKVILLE, s. G.. /:
THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 25, 1884
THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The State Campaign opened at Pickens
last Tuesday, and according to appointments
by the State Executive committee there will
be meetings in every county in the State at
which nominees on the State ticket or other
distinguished speakers will address the peo-
pie. The appointment for York county is
on Tuesday next, 30th instant, on which
day addresses will be made by Hon. j. G..
Sheppard, Hon. Wade Hampton, Hon. J. P.
Richardson, Hon. J. j. Hemphill, Gen. John
D.. Kennedy and Hon. II. c. CASTOR. This
is galaxy of eloquent speakers, and those
who attend will be instructed as we'll as de-
lighted by the occasion. Every person in
the county-old and young, white and color
ed-should attend this meeting, and espe-
cially should the distinguished speakers be
honored by the presence of the ladies, whom
we hope to see present in full members.S
1t is true there's no exciting political con:
test in the State, and the speaking next
Tuesday, so far from being 'joint discus
sion," such as is now stirring up many
of the States in the North and South, will
be purely from a Democratic standpoint; !;
but this fact should prevent none from at
tending. The National canvass is becoming
interesting, and this will be the opportunity
for our people to hear the issues of that cam
vass discussed. South Carolina musthelp to
elect Cleveland, and to succeed, every coun-
ty, every precinct, every voter, will be ex-
pected to do their duty. Let it be said of
York that in proportion to her Democratic
strength she polled the heaviest vote for
Cleveland of any county in the State.

Hammond and addressed the Convention from
the floor on the subject then under deliberation.
He said that Mr.. Watson had told him that he
would serve County Chairman no longer. He
hoped the Convention would make awise choice,
and select man who would accept and serve the
party faithfully. He thought there was some
danger in electng man in his absence; that
such action might result, as it had on former
occasions, by the person so selected coming
out in a card in the Yorkville ENQUIRER, declin-
ing to serve, and he hoped on this occasion
that such contingency would be avoided He
said Mr. Watson had served the party for the
last eight years as faithfully as circumstances
would permit and he would place him in nomi-
nation for reelection.
n. B. Burton nominated J. a. Ratchford; and
Joe Watson nominated j. M. Clinton. Nomina-
tions wero then closed, and the vote was taken
viva uocc with the following result: J. A. Ratch-
ford, lG; J. NJ Clinton, 13; j. l.. Watson,3.
On motion of Nelson Hammond, Mr.. Ratch-
ford's election was then made unanimous.
twas then moved and carried that the follow
ing names be recommended to U. S. District
Judge Bryan for appointment as precinct super
visors of election for the precincts respectively
named: Blacks Station-H. X. Roberts; Fort
MILL. NJ. Long: Clover-J. M. Jackson I;
Bethany. r. Farris Clark's Fork-Wm.
Wallace; Hickory Grove-Wesley Martin !;
Coates Tavern-T. X. Bates; Yorkville-T. F..
Hunt Rock Hil-G. A. Watts; Bethel-J. L..
Carson; Clay Hill-Thomas Simpson; Blairs-
ville-B. Burton; Hickory Grove-D. L. With
erspoon.
At this juncture, Nelson Hammond requested
all the delegates to retire to one of the jury
rooms, which they did, and there some matters
were transacted in secret, which could not be
ascertained. The supposition, however, is that
the Convention retired for the purpose of resolv-
ing itself into ways and means committee for
the benefit of some of the delegates.
After the secret session ended, the Convention
adjourned.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Up to last Saturday night, the treasurer
of Laurens county had collected but S49S out
of O,S41 due, exclusive of penalties.
- The Walhalla Courier says, that owing
to the dry weather not more than half a
crop will be made in Oconee county.
The stock of the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad is still down. 1t is
quoted at So asked, Sl4 bid.
Up to September IS only thirteen tax
receipts had been issued by the county
treasurer of Abbeville county.
Col. John II. Evins and his daughter,
Miss Mamie, returned to his home in Spar
tanburg on last Friday. Col. Evins is much
improved in health.
The Edgefeld Baptist Association is
composed Of forty churches, which have
contributed to the cause Of missions this
year 81 300.
- The public affairs of Beaufort county
are in bad way, and the grand jury has
presented several of the county officers for
official misconduct.
1t is expected that the Greenwood, Lau-
rens and Spartanburg Railroad will be COM
pleted and trains running to Laurens by
Christmas.
- Barnwell People: The cotton yield in
the county generally will not exceed two
thirds of crop. The pea crop will also be
short.
- Six State prisoners broke out of the Jail
at Greenville Wednesday morning about 5
o'clock. They opened their cell door by
saving off the braided head of an iron nut
which held the hasp by which the iron cell
door was locked to a staple outside.
- There has been no rain in Pickens coun-
ty since July. The drought has cut the corn
crop short, and not the half of an average
crop is expected. There was slight frosts in
portions Of that county on the morning of
the 18th instant.
"A negro in Greenville county voted at
the recent primary election and pledged
himself to support the Democratic nomi-
nees. For this action he was expelled from
society of which he was a member be-
cause it was contrary to their constitution
for Democrat to be on the roll.
A four-year-old son of DIR. E. B. Smith,
of Marion met with shocking death last

week. His clothing was caught by the
shafting of his fathers gin while in motion.
His body was revolved around by the shaft
ing several times, causing his head to strike
the floor before the engine could be stopped,
producing instant death.
- In view of the fact that the sale Of intOX-
icating liquors at Laurens Courthouse is
doing untold injury to the county, the
members of the first section of the Reedy
River Baptist Association have passed reso-
lutions extending "hearty sympathy and
aid to the good people of Laurens Court
house in their fight against the barrooms,
and calling upon all Christians to use their
influence for stopping the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors in Laurens county"
On Sunday last three negro prisoners
escaped from the Hampton county Jail. 1t
appears that the keys were in the hands of
in the absence of the jailor and sheriff, and
while he was helping the three negroes to
water, they rushed upon him, overpower-
ing him and making good their escape.
This is the third Jail delivery that has oc-
Cured in Hampton this year, thirteen pris-
oners in all having escaped, and much in
dignatiOn is felt in the county.
Says the Rock Hill Herald: Two of the
Mormon missionaries who were required to
leave this county, stopped at Taxahaw, in
Lancaster county, last week and preached a
sermon. They were replied to by Rev. j.
S. CroXtOn and Prof James A. Williams,
who handled them without mercy. The
Mormons seemed to grow uneasy and as
night approached took to the woods and
have not been seen or heard OF in that vi
cinity since. They evidently struck the
wrong place for the propagation of their
abominable doctrine.
The other day Mr.. w. l.. Edwards, of
Lancaster, discharged a colored man named
Lee, who had been employed by him at his
grist mill. Shortly after the dismissal, as
Mr.. Edwards was standing near the grain
hopper he was assaulted in the back by Lee
with a pocket knife, inflicting two flesh
wounds, one directly in the back and the
other nearly under the left arm. Mr.. Ed
wards turned and knocked the negro down
the stairs with his fist, who got up and
escaped. Mr.. Edwards wounds are painful
but not serious.

POLITICS IN THE STATE.

-Smalls has been renominated for Con-
gresS in the Black District, and he will
probably be elected without opposition.
The Democrats of Marion have nomina-
ted II. c.. Moody for Senator, and John G..
Blue, w. McD. Afford, w. A. Brown and
James G. HaZelden for Representatives.
The Spartanburg Republican conven-
tion instructed against State or county NOM
feet inaction would be the best protest
against "the Internal eight box law"
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
says that the negroes in Middle ST. Mat
theWs are more active now politically than
they have been since 1876. They hold meet
ings nightly, at which the most incendiary
harangues are made, in which determina-
tion is expressed to carry the election or
have blood.
- The following are the candidates for the
the First Districts DR.. NJ. II. Collins, John
NJ. Freeman, Jr., S. w. McKinlay, of
Charleston w. F. Meyers, Of Colleton, and
+. A. Webster, of Orangeburg. The con-
vention will meet in Charleston on Satur-
day next.

Carolina would pay or would not pay. If
they would pay profit capital would be
invested in them if they would not pay it
was unwise in our Legislature to offer in
ducements for such investment, as it would
in effect be transferring capital and labor
from its natural and profitable channels un-
der equal laws, to artificial and unprofita-
bic employments.
The delegates to the Republican State
Convention, held in Columbia on Tuesday,
were in attendance from nearly all the
counties in the State. The Executive Com
mittee was in session on Monday night,
making up the temporary roll of delegates
and outlining the work for the session. The
main contest in the Convention was expected
ta be for successor to f. w. NJ. Mackey, as
Chairman Of the State Executive Commit
tee.
- Williamsburg Herald: eve are told
that some of McLane's supporters in 1882
voted at the last primary, and were heard
to say that the Democratic party was the
to correct the evils of the party is within
the party, and accordingly accepted the
terms of the primary. We are glad that
such feeling has been brought about, and
hope that nothing the renegades McLane
and Kelly and few stiff necked followers
may say can again entice them to leave the
Democratic party. Remember that the up.
holders of Blaine and Logan were and
would still be the supporters of Sainted
WhittemOre, the mercenary Scott, the ne
farious Moses and the willy Boss SWails. All
we ask our wayward readers to remember
is, that McLane-Kelleyism is Blaineism,
Blaineism Radicalism, Radicalism negro
supremacy, misrule and oppression, misce-
genenation, corruption and social equality.
