The Committees Views on the Governors
Premature Appointments.

Fairness should certainly be accorded to
the action OF so representative a body as Il
State convention. In the correspondence
of the News and Courier tue resolutions
adopted and committee appointed 70 wait
upon the Governor in regard to commits
sioners of election has been styled "Insult-
ing the Governor, and the Greenville News
qualified it by adding "Indirectly insulting"
Now as the lntroducer of those res4lu-
tons and IN consequence the chairman of
the committee. let me say that the pream
ble and the wording of the resolutions,
and an additional resolution, disclaiming
any intent even to reflect on the Governor
or his appuintaes, should set at rest ary
such inference. And | will further add
that there was no intent. directly or ind!-
rectly, actual or implied, to reflect upon the
Governor or his appolntees in any way
whatever. The motive and Object Of the
resolutions was to honor him as the Chief
Magistrate Of all the people by calling his
attention to the fact that four-fifths, or q
great majority, Of the Democratic party We're
without fair representation on the board OF
commissioners Of election. That the Gus
tom which has become the unwritten law Of
the party had been set aside, and that in
stead Of appointing those recommended, or
to be recommended by the county chairmen,
others had been appointed almost solely
from the small minority
Now ''these citizens among the most in
telIigent and patriotic in the land" and
'.from the high character and intelligence
OF these appointeeS" admitting all this to
be as stated, it assumes q fund Of knowl-
edge truly wonderful How came the Gov
ernor in possession of such vast amount of
accurate information? Isn't it proof con-
elusive that list and recommendations
have been furnished him and that ne con-
suited small minority of the party and
handed over to their control the dearest
rights of the majority of his fellow-citizens,
whose sufrageS placed him in the exalted
position Of Chief Magistrate.
The Governor strikes !; heavy blow at the
county chairmen for not making suggestions
and furnishing information in time, ond it
will doubtless awaken these officials to
sense Of their duties. But is it a fact that
these appointments were not made until the
last day allowed by law? That is 4 very
important question, and Mr.. NJ. C. Gallu-
chats opinion, as q lawyer, controvcrts it.
However that may be, the Governor has had
the matter placed sauarely and courteonSly
before him, and respectfully asked to give
majority Of his fellow Democrats fair rep
resentation on the board Of commissioners,
and he has positively refused and has so
placed himself on record before the people.
The convention, too, goes on record before
the people as giving to the Governor an op-
portunity Of showing by his decision wheth-
er he was the Governor Of all or a part only
of the Democratic party and people, andits
object has been attained

and all boilers, who, IL their
despicable greed for Office for them
selves or friends, form collisions with
the negroes, will be treated as inde-
pen6ents, worse than Radicals, worse
even than Alahones, undeserying Of
the confidence and respect of Demo
Gratis, deserving of social ostracism.
We have no words fully to express
our contempt for that man with white
skin who has sunk SO low in political
relations as in any way to connive at
collusion with the Republican party
as it exists in South Carolina. Who
does it shows that heretofore only
love of power and gain influenced
him, and now when he sees this slip
ping from his grasp, he is willing to
stab his old mother to the heart.
We are truly thankful to believe
that this article does not apply to
Clarendon Democrats. We of this
county know what Democracy and
what Raaicalism means, what negro su-
premacy means, and we are confident
that there are not half dozen white
men in the county who for moment
would seriously contemplate any col
lusion with the Radical party.

Chairman Committee.
Society Hill. September IS, 1890.

Notes of the interview between his Excel
lency Governor J. ?. Richardson and the
committee appointed by the September con-
vention for that purpose:
First: The Governor promised to give
the chairman q reply within ten days.
Second. He admitted that it is customary
to appoint as commissioners those suggested
by the Democratic chairmen, and that he
had complied with that custom. But that in
this election year he had not complied with
it, as county chairmen had not made any
suggestions, with the exception of Williams
burg county, whose letter had been received
after the appointments mad been made.
Third. Ii the commissioners now ap-
pointed should resign, he said, he would
receive their designations, but would Lot
feel it his duty to appoint others recon-
mended by Democratic county chairmen,
though as good Democrats, and as we'll quail
fled rs those already appointed, he claim
ing the absolute right OF determining all
such questions according to his own judg-
ment.
Fourth. He would not deny he had been
furnished lists before he made said appoint
ments, and when irterrogated respecting the
appointments made in Clarendon county he
refused to give the name of the PARTY or
parties who may have furnished such list.
He justified himself in departing from the
custom of appointing commissioners of cleo
ton recommended by the county chairmen
by reason of the State convention not allow
Ing the chairman of the State executive COM
mittee to name its temporary chairman.

WONDERFUL CURES.

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 2, 1S90.-SiX months
ago, at the request of q friend who WAS in
terested in the sale of Kings Royal Germc-
tuer / made a written statement of the ben
efts I had received from the use of that
medicine. In that statement I expressed the
belief that it would cure me entirely Of ca
tarrh. Within the last two months l have
received letters from every quarter Of the
nation calling on me for further informa-
ton in regard to my health. 1t has been
impossible for me to write privately to each
person who has made this request, and am
therefore under the necessity of making
another public statement.
l am free from catarrh. l believe thlt l
could get certificate to this effect from any
competent physician. have used no med
lcine within the last six months except
Kings Royal Germetuer. My health is bet
ter than it has been in thirty years. l am
in possession of information which war
rants me in saying that the relief which
have experienced from the use of the medi-
cine is not more certain and radical than
that which it has brought to hundreds Of
persons in Georgia and other States.
I feel it to be my duty q say, also. that
the effects of this remedy upon my wife
have been even more signal and wonderful.
She has been almost a lifelong invalid from
nervous headache, neuralgia, and rhcuma.
tism. In a period of thirty years she has
scarcely had days exemption from pain.
She has been using Germetuer about two
months. A more complete transformation
have never witnessed. Every symptom of
disease has disappeared, heappears to be
twenty years younger, and is as happy and
playful as a healthy child. We have per-
suaded many of our friends to take the
medicine, and the testimony of all of them
is that it is a great remedy.

The Election Contest.

As we announced last week the election
contest case, Neff VS. O'Toole, was adjourn
ed until last Monday, at which time case
was again called and confession and contes-
tee both submitted their testimony. The
couAting of the ballots showed that the
judges OF election in Franklin township
failed to count one ballot for O'Toole
which should have been counted for him
and the judges of election in Banner
precinct failed to count one ballot for
Neff which should have been counted for
him. It is evident that in both cases
these were mere clerical omissions or
mistakes on the part Of the respective
boards, and the result was not affected, one
ballot offsetting the other.
In Banner precinct one vote was cast
for UT. Tool" which was counted by the
election board for Thomas O'Toole. In
Collyer townships similar vote was count
ed by the election board for Thomas
OToole, and one ballot cast for "Neff'
without the first name or any initials was
by the election board not counted for
anybody.
The contestee introduced testimony to
show that confession had treated several
persons to whisky on the day OF election at
Collyer precinct.
Contest court then adjourned until
Tuesday morning TO hear the argument of
After hearing the argument the
court adjourned until Monday, January

The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily be done. If some scholar
who had just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
its significance: see the thin white coat
ng on the tongue and later as the cold
developed, see the profuse watery expect
Grafton and thin watery discharge from
the nose, not one of them would ever for
get what the first symptoms of cold
were. The scholar should then be given
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely,
that all might see that even a severe
cold conld be cured in one or two days,
or at least greatly mitigated, when prop
erly treated as soon as the first symptoms
appear. This remedy is famous for it's
cures of coughs, colds and Group. 1t is
made especially for these diseases and is
the most prompt and most reliable medi-
cine known for the purpose. 80 cent

duly installed.
At ten o'clock the banquet was spread
in Opera Hall; and allow Us to add paren-
thetically that this was not the least in
teresting feature of the occasion.
After the banquet came toasts, respons-
es and addresses. Pierce Metz on behalf
of the lodge gave an address of welcome,
which was responded to by Mrs. L. d.
Monroe and which from literary stand
point, delivery included, was the best
effort we have heard in Kansas. Mrs.
Monroe is thorough elocutionist with
out apparently seeming to know it, which
in our opinion is the acme of perfection
Language aud thought were alike beauti-
full. Judge Conger, Capt. Hanna and
Judge Osborn each responded to toasts
in their usual entertaining manner. We
would like to give some of these addresses
entire. but as our stenographer was not
present and the speeches were extempore
we cannot produce them.
