The County Convention.

In reporting the proceedings of the
County Convention last week, we were un.
able to give much more than synopsis Of
what was done, as the Convention met at tho
hour we usually have our paper ready to
put to press, consequently, when they ad-
journed, three hours later, there was no
time left to prepare an extended report, aud
the result was, some important points in
the proceedings were necessarily omitted.
The following resolutions were introduced
and unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That each delegate to the State
Convention be allowed to select his own
alternate. in case the regular delegate can
not 60, aud he is required to notify hi. al
ternatc IN time, if he caunot Co.
MIR. j. c. OTIS introduced the following
resolutions, which wcre adopted amid
cheers
Resolred, That we endorse tho action of
the M,rch Convention.
ResotVea, That accord 10 ihc nominee
of that Convention, Capt. B. h. Tillmsn, our
good will and hearty support.
RESOLVED, That we instruct our delegates
to the State Convection to vots, first, last,
and all the time, for B. r. Tillman, so long
as he is in the field.
Rev, NJ. d. Kelly introduced the follow

Resoiced, That We endorse the candidacy
OF Maj ID. A. Townsend for tho Office OF
State Superintendent Of Education, and our
delegates to the State Convention are hereby
instructed to vote for him, first, last and all
the time.
We presume it is useless for us to state
that the County Convention was more than
three-fourths for Tilluan, that the County
Executive Committee. and tho delegates

The C's Trouble.
For two or three weeks there have been
rumors floating round that the Three C's rail-
road company had collapsed. We did net
publish any of those rumors simply because
we did not believe them. That the company
should have some financial difj :ulties it was
very natural to expect, while the validity Of
the base of its securities-the Township bonds
was in Litigation in the U. s. Circuit Court;
but We felt confident the result of that litiga-
ton would be in favor of the road, and wo
were not willing TO join in the cry against
the financial ability of the company which
hes been so vchemently raised by those who
oppose issuing the township bonds. That
our belief in the result of the suit was we'll
founded, is fully justified iu the decision just
rendered by the Court, which decides the
validity OF the township bonds aud instructs
the Commissioners to deliver them to tho
Company.
We learn from good authority that the
financial trouble of the Company will be over
csme in a few days, and the work on the
road will then continue rapidly to compile
tion.
There was considerable alarm among the
Merchants of the town last Monday, when
the news came that the contractors had stop
ped work, for want Of money to continue.
We are glad to find moro hopeful aud bet
ter satisfied feeling existing new among all
parties interested.

Shall 1t be Primary.

Shall 1t DO Primary.
Tho State Executive Committee has called
convention 10 meet at Columbia on tho
18th Of August to determine whether dele
gates to the State nominating convention
shall be elected by primary, in accordance
with the demand Of the sd section of the
platform Of the March convention, which is
as fllows:
1--WE demand that the delegates to the
state Nominating Convention shall be
chosen by primary election on the SAME day
that the other officers are nominated. and
that AL the counties shall held their primaries
on the same day, to wit: the last Tuesday
IN August OF each election year."
We fully endorsed both the demand Of the
Farmers Convention for n primary and the
action Of the Executive Committee in call
ing convention to meet that demsnd. Our
only regret is that the committee did not act
sooner. Had the call for convention been
made month or six weeks ago, much Of
the bitterness Of the present campaign, in
onr opinion, would have been avoided.-
How the call will affect the action Of the
convention held in this county on the 26th,
We are not now abe to say. There was no
irregularity in the call or proceedings of
that convention, which cannot be said of tho
Hampton Convention.
We have stood squarely and unequvo-
oally upon every important plank in the
Tillman platform, but were as squarely op-
posed to the bulldozing methods Of the ring
leaders of the convention to accomplish their
aims. While We are aware that a large num-
Der of MIR. 1illman's followers now oppose
the primary for State Convention, because
Of the apparent strength Of their eandid.t..
developed at the campaign meetings, We
have good reason for believing that there is
= strong under current Of feeling setting in
among the calm and intelligent farmers that
will demand a primary, in accordance with
the article in the Tillman creed.
