The Opinions of the State Press About
SCaptain Shells Manifesto.
Yorkvile Enquirer.
What may bc the result Of the remark
able manifesto is yet to be seen. Fortu-
nately 1t was promulgated at an early
Gay, and will give the people time to re.
1ect upon the serious charges made; and
it is equally fortunate that the proposed
Convection is called at an early date.
The deliberations aud actings of that
-ody can go before the people 4n ample
time before permanent nominations are
made, aad if this "Farmers' movement"
means anything more than mere whole
sale arraignment, the people will kcow
it.
Greenville Enterprise and Noun:aineer.
We heartily endorse the calling of a
State Convention to suggest ticket for
State officers. If there is q general re-
spouse thereto it will not be hard to
predic: the success of the movement.
We hope that the Convention will be
held and that every county in the State
will SEM up its quota of duly accredited
delegates, and that its nominees will be
confirmed BY the State Democratic Con-
vention that will assemble afterwards.
Yorkville Enterprise.
The result Of the Convention 1ill be
awaited with interest,". It is the frst
tine in the history of the State since
1876 that it has been attempted to hold
y coay ention of the people outside OF the
regular Democratic lines. We are glaG
is see that the association promises to
make this fight for reform wishin the
Democratic lines, which iasures, in any
event, harmony in the party.
Sumter Watchman and Southron.
We wish that the citizens Of every
county, who are Democrats, not The
farmers, merely, had been invited to
elect the delegates. Nersrthelcss, We
are not greatly regretful, for, as We an
nounced at the first, our shcc. anchor Is
this, that almost all of US in practice, az !
without exception all CT Z, ID heart, a:e
farmers. Let Us con7ea2 and s.ar"a out
what we all have done Oh suffered .Eat is
wrong.
Marion Star.
The truth OF the entire business is j
greed for Office, and II ;ae farmers a5 a
elias. could be arraycd ell on one side,
the result would not be difficult to pre-
dict, but the fact is that while there are
great many farmers vino are very de,
cidedly in favor OF the Clemson College
the greater part Of them do not favor
ths aanibilation Of the University, and
feH OF them s7mpathiZe at all with any
movement that looks to strict class legis
latior.
Prosperity Press and Reporter.
The Press and Reporter has more con
:idence in the farmers than to think thai
they will do anything to injure the edu
casional advantages Of the State. They
| will contend for what they conceive tt
be their rights, bu: will not undertake
he reckless wholesale crushing of othc
.nstitutions as indicated By their oppo
nents. The farmers ought not to fnc
any & dficulty in putting ticket in th'
| ield that will be acceptable to the people
| hay have right to make the eBo:t.
Barnwell People.
Let US have fair play and a free fgh
snd plenty OF both. The people wan
no snap judgment taken oy anybody
We hope that Capt. Shell will withdra7
