Silver Democratic Club Organized.

EDITOR MANNING TDTEs:-Ata called meet
ing held at Silver Saturday, June 14th, Sill
Yer Democratic Club was organized with
eighty-seyen members. The officers elected
were: A. W. Thames, president; Jas. W.
McCauley, 1st vice president; II. S. Briggs,
End vice president; and 7. c. Cochran sec
retary.
The following resolutions were offered
and unanimously adopted by the club:
WHEREAS, as citizens in mass meeting as
sembled at Silver for the purpose Of organ
iZing Democratic club, and feeling it to be
our duty to place on record onr solemn pro-
test against the action and revolutionary
methods of the Clarendon Executive Com
mittee when they openly say no organlZa-
ton of the Democratic clubs must be effect
ed before :he 2d day of August next: to this
end We do now organize and elect our Of
ficers, as We feel it TO be our duty to Set
forth our views to the world, and to place on
record our indignant protest against the few
who lent their aid to such unfair revolution
ary proceedings. We desire to express our
opinion as to the said committee, believing
that they seek the destruction Of the Demo
cratic party in forcing measures against the
majority Of Democrats who compose the
bone ana sinew Of the country, for the os-
tensible purpose Of manipulating the ''old
guard" therefore be it
RtS0lred, That the members composing g
that executive committee who on the 9Th day
of June opposed the reorganization Of the
ink I'D
not voice the sentiment of the people; that
their action was revolutionary, void, and
rnwarrantablc; and their action meets the
greatest condemnation Of liberty.loving
people.
2. That we cordially endorse the action
Of the March convention, in adopting the
platform so well suited to the farmers wants
and conditions, and DO hereby heartily en-
dorse the suggestion OF Capt. Is. r. Tillman
for the nomination Of governor; and VIC
pledge ourselves to do all in our power to
make him the standard bearer, pledging
ourselves at the same time to support the
nominee whoever he may be 1t the Septem-
ber convention.
3. That We endorse the bold and fearless
stand taken by The MANNING TINES and
Charleston World, in support of Tillman
and the farmers cause; that We withdraw
our support from the Ne,rs and Courier and
Clarendon Enterprise, whose belabored ef-
forts have been to destroy the unity of the
Democratic party Of South Carolina fol
ring rule and bossism.
4. That these resolutions be given to The
MANNING TINES and Charleston World for
publication.
In addition to the above resolutions the
club unanimously endorsed Z. B. Gary, fol
lieutenant governor; Y J. Pope, for attorney
general; and II. S. Farley, for adjutant gen.
cral After short but very pointed speech
by Maj DesChamps the club adjourned tc
meet again ON Saturday, July >, 1880.

3O"S-
Hon. L. P. Connor, Connors, S. C.-My
Dear Sir: While I agree with you that my
candidacy has nothing to do with national
issues. cheerfully answer your questions
about my being 'Protectionist, which
charge is being made against me in many
quarters.
My position on the tariff is simply this:
The United States government must have
money to defray its expenses, and with
constantly increasing pension roll there is
likelihood Of those expenses being largely
increased in future rather than diminished
We cannot bear direct tax, therefore "free
trade is barren ideality," as have said be-
fore, and the bulk of the revenue must come
from duties on imports.
hold that these should be laid on luxu-
ries as far rs practicable, and that the neces-
saries Of life and those articles consumed
by the masses should be burdered as lightly
as possible. I would not make the duty so
light as to destroy the chances of the Amer
lean manufacturer to compete against his
foreign rival, and I certainly would no.
make it heavy enough to give monopoly
to home made goods. Everything which is
made by Il trust OF monopoly. like jute bag
ging. should be put on the free list, congress
thus serving notice on all combinations Of
capital that any attempt to rob the people
by means of trust would be met by the
competition Of the world in open market
This is simpler and easier than any attempt
to control or punish trusts 1t is farcical
for congress to create trusts and monopolies
by means Of the tariff, and thus throw dust
in the eyes of the people by pretending to
try to control and prevent them by statute.
Boiled down. my ideas on the tariff mean:
tariff for revenue with Incidental protec-
ton, so graduated and levied rs to admit the
necessaries of life free Of duty as far as
practicable and prevent trusts or monopolies
of any kind. There will be enough protec-
ton for ine under any schedule that can be
devised which will raise the necessary rev.
enue. Bnt there will have to be national
farmers movement before we will see any
thing approximating this. The Alliance
promises to become such an agency. God
grant that its membership shall increase,
and their minds be enlightened; that we
hold steadfast to the faith and move steadily
forward till We see the national government
run in way to give equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. When the masses
shall no longer be ensluved for the benefit of
corporations, banks, and manufactures.
am very truly yours, B.R TLLMAN.

News from Silver.

SILVER, June live had most
delightful trip to Eutaw Springs on
the 18th. This grand old spring has
it's history that will ever live to be
cherished in the memory of South
Carolinians. It was a most pleasant
day to some of Clarendon's folks who
had never visited the springs before.
There was nothing to attract atten-
ton on the road from Silver except
the crops. At Eutawville we took
the branch which runs to Pom Bluff.
This put us down in one-half mile OF
the springs. This road has been
built for the convenience of the Mich
igan lumber company. From the
springs we went 10 see the fine plan
tation of Mr.. ". H. Sinkler. Here
you behold one Of the finest planta-
tions in Berkley. His fine stock farm
is an elegant arrangement, and his
imported Jersey and Ayrshire sleep
is only another evidence that South
Carolina would compete with my
State in the union.
I had the pleasure Of the company
of Mr.. Mcdonald Furman, reporter
of the Netrs and Courier. Mr.. Fur
mans abilities as a writer has never
been questioned, and as a man he is
pleasant and soeiable, deeply interest
ed concerning the politics of the State.
The festival given by the ladies on
Saturday proved to be a success.
Representatives from all parts Of the
county were present. Another will
be given next Saturday.
A very large and representative
part of this community met at Silver
to-day and organized a Democratic
club. A vote was taken unanimously
endorsing Tillman for governor. /
never saw more enthusiasm manifest
ed The Friendship Democratic club
will organize next Saturday.
Mrs. Eliza Jones, of Knoxville, Ten
nessee, is on visit to relatives at
Silver.
Rev. J. B. Kershaw came down
from Sumter to-day to see Mr.. L. B.
Owen who has been sick for several
weeks.
Nh. C. C. Way has been forced to
kill his fine mare which had glanders
J. r. Tarleton, the colored post
master at Summerton, whose health
has been precarious for several
months, died on the train between
here and Sumter to-day. TON.

News from Jordan.

JORDAN, June 17.-Nelson Sprott,
an industrious colored farmer, sent us
q cotton bloom on the 10th inst. This
is the first bloom for Jordan. Can
Summerton beat it?
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the
10th and 11th inst, we had the heav-
lest rainfall of the season, but cotton
has nice color and seems to be grow
ing rapidly. Other crops are very
fair, and the farmers anticipate an
abundant yield.
The closing exercises of the Jordan
Academy will take place next Thurs
day evening, 18th inst.
Miss Jessie Mclean, a charming
young lady of Charlotte, N. c., is Wis
iting her sister, Miss Josie.
Mrs. Cantey, OF Foreston, is visiting
her daughter, Mrs J. H. Burgess.
Mr.. G. P. Sprott, of Wotford, is
spending vacation at home.
Mr.. J. II. Burgess's new dwelling
is nearing completion. Jordan is i'm
proving.
Mr. Editor, I notice the ''red head
whom I alluded to two weeks ago
shoots off his lip and compares your
Jordan correspondent to a :bag Of
meat" or a "beer keg." OF course it
is all fun and I could very easily reply
and make a much worse comparison
and tell the truth too, but [ think it
wise to treat distrui with contempt.
Politics is growing little warm,
and I think Tillman is losing ground.
I am afraid he will lose his coat tail il
too many otice-seekers hold to it, to
pull them into Office. G.

To NV Friends and Patrons.

I will soon go North to purchase
my fall and winter stock, and in order
to make room I will sell my summer
goods at marvelously low prices
There is in my stock right now some
of the prettiest lines of dry goods,
consisting Of prints, white goods, mus
Inns, mulls, cballies, cambrics, Main
socks, and the best assortment OF
laces and embroideries that has ever
been offered III this town.
My stock of yellow and checked
homespnn was never more complete,
and bought direct from the mills aud
at a time when they were consldera-
bly, lower than now
l guarantee that my stock Of shoes
is second to none in the State. They
are made of the very best material
and latest styles, especially for
my trade, and are offered at such
prices that I can compete with any
shoe store.
just come to my store and look at
the immense line of straw hats [ car
ry. You will find any style and any
price you want, and I have ordered
them marked down to almost cost.
I have been very successful in my
efforts this year in purchasing cloth
ing: my stock has been selected
with such care and good taste
that all who have purchased
from me express their satisfaction. I
can sell suits all the way from five
dollars to twenty-five. 1 can show
you cheviot suit for ten dollars that
cannot be bought elsewhere for less
than twelve.
A pretty line of gents furnishing
goods can be found at my store. If
person wants q neat cravat or tie I
have it; if they want a fancy flannel
shirt I have it; if they want collars
and cuffs they will find them with me;
and if there is anything at all in the
gents furnishing line guarantee that
no other merchant has better assortr
ment or can sell them cheaper.
Ny grocery stock is always full, and
by purchasing heavy goods in car
load lots l get them cheaper and
save money on freights. Therefore it
is natural to suppose that I have a
great advantage over other merchants,
and I propose to give my customers
the full benefit Of any advantage !
may have.
As 1 have said before I desire to
make room for my fall stock, and in or
der to do so will sell cheap: SO if there
are any persons wanting to buy now is
the time, because greater inducements
will be offered now than have ever
been offered before. This is no idle
boast, and when you come to town
come right into my store and l will
prove to you that you will save money
by making your purchases from me.
Yours very respectfully,
NJ. LEVI.
