independentism Depiored.

EDITOR MANNING TIMEs:-It is with much
surprise and regret that see men who have
been among our leading ones III the State,
and who had lorofeSsed to be the stannchcSt
of Democrats, to now be doing their utmost
to disrupt the Democracy of this State, by
finding imaginary objections to the pro-
caedingS of the party, and by heading an
! Indepen1tnt movement We arc all tamll
lar with the sentiments expressed 4 short
while ago by our beloved leader OF 76: that
an Indepenleut is worse than Radical
MANY that are nov in the Independent
movement have again and again uttered ex-
preSsions to the same effect.
What else can you term this movement,
when the leader of the same vas delegate
to the State Democratic nominating couVen-
ton, called expressly for the purpose OF
nominating State officers, and III which he
participated up to the moment OF making
nominations, when he was Indemocratlc
enough to say that he woulu withhold bls
vote and not make the nomination unanl-
nous, as had been customary IN previous
conventions, even though when 1t was plaln
to be seen that that convention WAS over
whelmingly in favor of certain candidates.
1t has been stated without refutatl on that
four years ago the farmers lacked only ABOUT
forty votes in convention OF nominating
their choice, two years ago twenty, put e'cn
time the nomination was male unanimous
they worked for and elected the ticket. But
behold what do We now sec? mat the rule
or ruin principle is only to- true.
Common sense tells us that the Set OF men
put forward by the Independent movement
cannot expect to be el, ctcl by the White
votes OF this State, and their only hope IS to
appeal to the coiored people to use heu votes
to kill white Democratic ones. This is no
similar case to 76, rs has been claimed oy
the opposition. Then it was that the COL
oreI votes were solicited to cancel Republl-
can ones But now do yo.l think for mo-
ment that the Independents could control
the colored votes without political compen
sltion: recognition and position must be
the consequences. What will be the condi-
ton of things two years hence? Trouble
untold.
The State executive committee has called
Light, and put down this Independentism
stand more in need Of her patriotic citizens
than at the present juncture.
When a set of men will not abide by the
vast A'tJotlly VI lue parry thdI tHey iePie-
sent, and put 40 opposition ticket in the
field, are they not Independent, and in
open opposition to their former party? l
am fearful of the result Of this movement,
which will effect little at the present cleo
ton, unless they barter of some Of the Con-
gressional districts, but. it will certainly be
widening the breach for two years hence,
when had hoped that we ali would be as
united as before. J. NJ. R.

News from (trceleyYiIle.

A political newspaper in giving an account
of an attempt at political bribery begins
with the sentence, Here is pretty kettle
of fish," This was intended as a fgurativc
expression, illustrative Of the variety Of
races, persons, and compilations concerned.
The significance of the intended figure is
completely destroyed by the use Of the
word kettle instead of kidtNe. The former is
a vessel used for culinary purposes; the lat
ter is an obstruction in a river for eutang-
ling and capturing fish. Fish so caught
constitute ''kiddle of fish" Both words
are sometimes corrupted into "kittle." The
difference between lot of fish caught in a
kiddle, and another lot placed in q kettle to
be prepared for food is not hard to imagine.
Newspaper criticism is thaukleSs office;

and trickery, ought to be learned, and the
newspaper press has become the great edu-
Gator, the universal text book, the circulat-
ing encyclopedia of the masses.

in Support OF Their Intention.
The executive committee of the Republi.
can party Of Clarendon county, 5. c., met
On Saturday the 18th inst. After attending
to urgent business they discussed the pres
ent political situation in the State. The
matter was wisel y aud ably debated by each
one. They deemed it but casting pearls
before swine to vote for Tillman, because
Mr.. Tllman said he did not want the negro
| vote. Further Mr. Haskell deemed it sac
ritice Of Democratic principles to accept a
Republican nomination, so they deemed it
a sacrifice of Republican princ!pl to vote
for him. Again to vote for either would
create lasting race friction and thus cause
bloodshed, havoc, and devastation, and
many homes filled with brave defenselesS
men, women, and children would be subject
to night raiders thirsty for blood, because
the negro had helped one fellow Democrat
to dethrone another, and they we're unwil-
ling to sacrifice life when there was no prin-
cple involved or to be made dupes by eth
er party. and they considered, rs the ,chdes
would, that the negro that could be bought
by one could be bought by the other if a lit
tie more money or office were offered.
They voted unanimous, except Andrew
Boston, to deem any Republican q traitor
who would vote for either or influence an
other to do So They further denounced
Rev. W. D. Chapelle, Presiding Elder, who
although res ;dent of Columbia, yet claim
ed in the Morris Convention that he was a
delegate from Clarendon, in that his utter
ances that we would support Haskell were
erroneous and false.
