An Editors Duty.

Amid i'll the conflicting elements Of
life, the editor has Il hard time OF it.
What to do under I'LL circumstances
often perplexes his mind. Policy die
tates one thing, principle another. In
tegrity suggests one course, and cX-
pediency suggests another. What then
must he do? The editor who "rides
the fence" on any subject, sooner or
later comes to grief. EXpedicncy will
serve him but for a season. The path
Of honor and truth, is the path for him
to tread. He must walk in the path OF
duty in the fear of no man. He must
"do good and eschew'' evil, and ever
stand up and speak out boldly for the
good, the true and the pure, and always
against the wrong and the impure, and
have no thought for the consequences;
God will take care of them. Let the
editor pursue this course, and he can
laugh ut criticism, for then he will
know that the path of duty is the only
path Of safety. The editor who does
not follow this course, will find out
that his work is 4 failure. This is the
course we have worked out for our
sSlves. and despite whatever may cross
our path, we intend With Gods help to
walk in it. We intend to speak the
truth in advocating the right and con-
,lcmning the wrong; to chew to the line
let the chips fall where they may" with
malice toward none II this does not
suit anybody, we can't help it. The
above from the Sumter Advance states
the position Of the editor so well, that

a diversified specimen of advanced

ly from the farm of Capt. P. Whipple,
being registered Holstein bull draw
ing a cart loaded with wool from
Southdown sheep. This is good deal
better than a Kentucky mule drawing
from town an Ohio wagon loaded with
Virginia hay, Chicago meat, Indiana
corn and Minnesota flour, with little
North Carolina tobacco, all to be used
in making a little cent cotton. .Let
us have little more of the bull and the
wool in this country.

The Democratic Party and the Farmers.
So far as we are concerned, we are
perfectly willing to trust the destinies
of the Democratic party of the county
to the farmers. They have always been
true to the best interests of the county
and State, and we do not see why any
one should feel the least alarm about
the present movement. AS taxpayers
they should take lively interest in
public affairs, and the fact that they
are doing so is one of the most hopeful
signs of the future. Let the farmers
come to the Democratic Convention
with well formulated plans for carry
ing into operation their views, and they
will have no trouble in executing them
Majority rule is the fundamental prin-
ciple upon which the Democratic party
is built, and the farmers being largely
in the majority in the party, have a
right to rule its counsels, and no good
Democrat has right to object to this
as the minute he does so he ceases to be
a Democrat. This being the case, we
say to the farmers Of Orangeburg
County, elect your very best men to
represent you in the County Conven'
tion which meets on the 22d instant. II
needs be, instruct these delegates to
pursue a cert;.in policy to carry ont
your views. In this WAY you can do
what you please, and put in the offices
whom you please. We would advise the
farmers, however, to shun delnogogues
and take us leaders men Of their calling
who are successful in their business
Men who claim to be farmers, but who
do not demonstrate the fact by a sue
ccssful career on the farm are hardly
the men to lead US out of the wilder
ness. These men are place hunters,
and it makes no litferenceto them how
they secure it. Our farmers should he
represented by the most successful of
their class.

Our NIartyreu Dead.

Orangeburg County is one Of the few
counties in the State that has no monu-
ment to commemorate the heroism and
gallantry of her sons who fell in the
defence of Southern liberty and self
government. Amid the carnage OF
war no Drawer or truer men followed
the fortunes of the Lost Cause" than
the gallant and patriotic sons OF this
grand old county, and none laid down
their lives more willingly than they did
in defence of this just and righteous
cause. 1t is true that the banner that
these noble and chivalrons spirits laid
down their lives to uphold has been
"furled forever" and the cause for
which they fought and died has been
crushed by the stern arbitrament Of
arms, yet their memories live, and will
live as long rs our men and women
are true to their God, tc their country
and to themselves. Such bravery and
heroism as they displayed, cannot die.
Though we refuse to do our duty by
neglecting to erect monument to
their memory or decorate their graves
with sweet flowers. the deeds OF these
noble, self-sacrificing patriots will not
be forgotten, but will be handed down
from generation to generation, and
our children's children will he taught
that no Drawer or more heroic band OF
patriots ever went forth to battle for
home and liberty than the Confederate
soldier. With these sentiments inspir-
ing us, we were glad to see that the
second regiment of artillery at its re-
cent reunion at Branchville had deter
mined to move in the matter, and take
steps to erect monument at this place
to the Confederate dead Of our county.
It is Il movement in which the pro-
jectors should have the warm support
of all of our people. This matter has
been neglected too long already. and
now that the surviving comrades OF
our martyred dead have determined to
remove this reproach from our county,
let us I'LL fall in and 60 to work, and
never cease until a monument second to
none in the State is reared tn COM
memorate the virtues and heroic deeds
of Orangeburg's martyred dead. We
assure the committee of the hearty and
willing support of this paper in their
praiseworthy and noble work.
