And never get one drop the wetter."

FATCRS UNITY.

Wants to Have Convention to Nominate
Delegates to be Voted for in a Primary
Election.
Mr. Editor: Il great deaf is being
said as 10 the Constitutional Conven-
ton and how the delegates are or
ought TO be selected. Some claim that
Judge Goff will probably enioin hold
ing the convention few days before
the time for holding the election for
delegates. If so all ocr hopes will be
blasted, but our ability to retain white
Democratic rule in South Carolina is
no less certain. We have yet the eight
box clause not molested by the Court,
we have the next Legislature 10 pass
some such law as New York and other
States now enjoy to protect honesty
and respectabiiity. So after all we are
not hurt III the danger of the Court on
that line. AS to the Dispensary Act
being robbed Of one clause it does not
make much difference 80 long as peo-
ple do not abuse the liberty of the
right of ordering for ones own use.
It will give those who think cheaper
and better liquors can be had out of
the State chance to satisfy themselves.
Now as to Fairfield County's repre-
sentatien. You are aware that on the
30th of July next we have primary
election for candidates by all the white
Democrats in the county regardless Of
factions. Ny views are that the
County Chairman should order the
various clubs to elect or prepare q
delegation to meet in convention on
June % next to select material for
State delegates in the Constitutional
Convention to be voted for on July 80.
The mode, l think, which would be
lust and fair, is as follows: Let every.
body whe thinks proper to put before
that convention any man or men that
they think right aud proper, and let
those put in nomination fully express
themselves upon the vital questions
that will come before that convention
10 be held in Columbia in September
next. Let everybody vote for whom
he pleases with the understanding that
the two highest on the ballot Of each
faction to be considered the nominees
say two Rcformers and two Con-
serva,ives, and then let the white men
of Fairfield elect them regardless Of
former differences. REFORNER.

Resozred, That we, the negro voters

qrouadless fear Of negro domination, or
