Il. R. rHoMAs's DEMANDS.

The letter Of Mr. H. r. Thomas to
Mai. Marion Moise and Maj. Noises
reply, which are published in another
column constitute peculiar addeuda to
the campaign just closed.
Mr.. Thomas, acting in his capacity
Of President Of the Reform Faction,
makes certain suppositions. and de-
mands that Maj. Noise, as the Presi-
dent of the Conservative Faction, make
pledges for his faction, said pledges
being promised upon MIR. Thomas's
supposi,ions.
On Monday evening Mr.. Thomas
telegraphed Hon. a. Moses, to whom
he had written similar letter as head
of the Legislative delegation, urgently
requesting that the letters be withheld
from publication and withdrawing his
letters. The letter to Maj. Noise and
his reply had been given to the press
before the telegram was received, aud
Mr.. Thomss's telegram served only to
withhold the letter to Mr.. Moses.
We understand that Mr.. Thomas
made lis demands without consultation
with his faction aud as soon as several
Of the leading Reformers found out
What he had done they wited him to
back water at ,sshieh he did. -
As to tks nerits Of. Mr.. Thomas
demands little needs to be said. It
vas simply an exhibition of cheek. or a
desire to learn il there would be any
grounds for bolt by his faction. His
remark: eff the reformers Of Sumter
County abide this primary \ :"
may Indicate that be had an idea of not
abiding the primary. There has been
strong talk that there would be reform
ticket put up in this county if the con-
servasiyes in other counties put up
tickets. aud we imagine Mr.. Thomas
wished to trap some Of our leading men
into saying something that would give
him an excuse for carrying out this
design.
he can rest assured, however, that
the Conservatives ie Shutter County are
determined to hold the Reformers to the
result Of the primary OF make them
admit the. they are not democrats.
We are going to stick to the nominees
Of the party down to and including Dr..
Stokes.

Testimony From a Rival Town.


We do pot believe that there is a town in
the State that can boast of as enterprising
merchants as are to be found in Sumter.
Despite the hard times they patronize the
papers very literally and have kept up theal
advertising all through the dull season. Ia
addition to this they also use the columns Of
the Bisnopville and Manning papers in order
to attract the attention of the public. The
consequence of this is that Sumter draws 9
coed deal of trade that naturally belongs te
other places, but which are checkmated BY
the superior enterprise of of the Sumter mer
chants.-Darlington Herald.
Our merchants will certainly appre-
ciate this tribute to their enterprise
from the Darlington Herald.
