The Mass Meeting.

The Democratic Mass Meeting
which assembled in the Court
House on Monday Of this week was
presided over by Hon. W. II. Tim
melman, 4. +. Padgett. Secretary:
Various resolutions were offered
locking to g division of delegates
to the constitutional convention
between the two factions. Gov.
Shcppard's resolutions proposing
an equal division were tabled; SO
were Mr.. J. N. Gaines's, proposing
that in this matter Edgefield wait
to see what the action of the con-
servative counties would be in the
matter OF division of delegates,
so were NJ. B. 3. Evans's and Mr..
l.. J. Williams. The following
however, offered by Col. R. B.
Watson, were passed, and are for
the time being the law of The party
in this county.
Resolrea, That it is the sense of
this convention and We hereby
recommend, that the white voters
of Edgefeld County support at the
primary election the ablest and
best men regardless of political
factions.
Resolutions were also offered
commencing the action of sundry
citizens in Edgefeld on last We'd
nestlay in dealing with Col. Dar-
gan. They were offered by Maj.
3. 3. Evans, and are as follows:
EesoIred, That the question of
White Supremacy is paramount to
all others, and the Democracy Of
Edgcfeld, in Convention assem-
bled, endorse the actions Of those
of their fellow citizens, who, du-
ring the past week, prevented a
speech from being delivered, which
was calculated to bring about bad
blood between the races, and
thereby destry the peaceful rela-
tons at present existing through
out the community. We recog-
nize the principle that free speech
is right belonging to every man,
but we will sternly repress any
fire-brand who seeks to stir up the
negro to political activity.
