Tho "True" Democrats.

The act of re-essembling the Carwile Con-
vention of "True" Democrats In Columbia
last night is TO be regretted. Lovers OF South
Carolina who have not lost their head ana
who have not forgotten their mother-wit Will
regret the placing of an Independent ticket
In the neld.
The patriotism or Democracy OF the indi.
vidusl members Of that convention is not to
be doubted, and their earnestness and brav'
cry in asserting their desire to promote the
welfare and prosperity OF the State Of South
Carolina ID not 70 be suspected.
But the unWtsdom of their course must be
apparent to even large per cent. Of their
own faction, and the utter hopelessness oi
success must be plain 70 many Of their own
sympathisers and co-workers.

Electfng Delegates.

About thirty persons met In the Court
House last Monday, and elected delegates to
the Carwile or Butler Convention in Colum.
bia, which met last night.
Very few persons knew anything Of It,
The delegates who were elected had very
small constituency.
As q rule, our people have paid literally no
attention to either Butler or his Convention.
Our people will not support the 1ndepen-
dent movement. Nearly all OF them voted in
either the first or the second primary, and Of
course will not now cast q shadow or q reflec-
ton on their personal integrity by voting
against the nominations made by the primary.
A large majority Of our people favor the dis
pensary law, and they have confidence that
John Gary Evans will do nothing to defeat
Its enforcement. For this reason. many are
satisfied with his nomination, and would fear
that any new man wonld be opposed to the
en- forcement Of the law.
II the Butler Convention should put out an
Independent ticket, 1t will be subjected 10 tne
most ignominious defeat. Assuming that no
man in Abbeville County will solemnly and
wilfully put himself on record as Vioiatof OF
a solemn pledge which he voluntarily made'
it is not possible for the Independent ticket TO
get over $50 or 800 votes, even If every man
who did not vote at the primary should vote
the Independent ticket.
Assuming further, that the people In other
counties have proper regard for their repu.
tation for veracity. the vote for the Indepen-
dent ticket must be exceedingly small In
every part Of the State, while It is perfectly
plain that the nominations which may be
made by the Butler Convention, will not
carry q single county In the State.
These resolutions were adopted by the per-
sons present at the meeting In the Court
House last Monday:
Resolved, That IL is the sense Of this Con-
vention that no County or legislative tickets
be run in opposition to the tickets now nomi.
mated.
Q. That It Is the sense of this Convention OF
Convention OF Conservative Democrats that
it would be impolitic to nominate State
ticke at this time.
s. That the delegates from this County 60

A Chsnee Must Come.

That the next election will bring about
change of public sentiment, We presume no
one will doubt.
In 1910 Wade Hampton was elected Cover
nor OF tho State by q unanimous vote. He
had Q stronger hold on the whole people than
any other man ever had or ever will have.
But scme OF tho people soon began TO nnd
fAult with him for appointing his friends,
his nsmesakes, and his kindred to ONCE.
Now, in 1894. the people themselves have
been very partial In bestowing fsvors on par
ticulsr families.
Sooner or later the pendulum will swing
back, and new men will take their places.
Any dream. however, that the deposed om-
cars OF former years will be "called bach, ie
the merest delusion. They are ont forever.
But the time 10 coming when the conserva-
tive men Of both factions will get To-
gethsr, when the people will join them
in putting forward suoh men as have no
record, to which objection can be made. For
this reason, We believe the advocates Of the
proposed Independent movement are com.
mi:ting political suicide.
When the change Of sentiment comes,
demand will be made by the conservative
mon OF both factions, that the extremists be
rslsgatsd to tho rear. The public peace and
the public welfare demand this.
: In inaugurating great movement, or In
exciting revolution. extreme men alone can
al the requirements. but when victory has
been won and peace restored, conservative
and fair minded men will be called to the
'front.' and they, and not the extremists, will
fll the offices and bring contentment and
happiness to the whole people.
