they have enjoyed the co-operatson and
substantial aid of their white neighbors,
who have shown in thousand ways their
friendly disposition towards the negroes as
race Under the prompting Of unwise
advisers, the negro preachers are now do
ing what has been source of great advan-
tage to their people and no less to them
selves, and they are rushing into the pub
lie prints to show how eager they are to
confront and balk the white man in his
efforts to maintain control Of the govern
ment in this State. The issue cannot be
hid in the coming contest. The negro
preachers are revealing the purpose and
design of move emehs which has enllsted
them against yielding the control of the
political affairs of South Carolina to O
majority OF its white citizens. They, are
combining with view to divide the Wnltes
permanently, and their protestations

Col. J. J. Dargan, editor OF the
Sumter Freeman, has announced
himself candidate to the constltu-
tional convention, and last Friday
evening, he addressed a meeting IN
Sumter upon the issues. Il the ac-
counts of his speech as published IN
the Register and the News and Cour-
ier are correct, Colonel Csrgan de-
livered himself of a remarkable
TRADE. He unblushingly appealed to
the prejudices Of the colored man
and pledged himself to see that the
negro should vote, and that his vote
would be counted. We have known
for q long time that Colonel Dargan
held strange political views, bnt we
had no idea that he would ever be
found trying to incite the negros
against the whites even to get an
Office. There is a sincere effort being
made to harmonic the white peo-
pie of the State, and if the effort is
not successful it will be because such
fre-brands as Colonel Dargan have a
sufficient following to cause the lac
tions to draw the factional lines.

confronting the white men OF this
State. He refers to the combination

calls upon the men who went through
the experiences Of Radical rule to be
up and doing:
The negro preachers are being led into
tap for their own destruction. They are
doing just what brought many of them to
grief prior to 1876. They are undertaking
to lead their people into political scran-
bic, which will result as heretofore in an
utter defeat and discontinue, and revive
old and almost forgotten antaSonlsmS with
their white neighbors. Since the negro
went out of politics in South Carolina, the
preachers as u general rule have been de-

to learn that there is ct least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-

the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as

AS yet no steps have been taken oy
the people of Clarendon towards
sending delegation to Columbia IN
response to the call of the committee
representing what is known as the
sForty R,forme,s." The call OF this
committee was for three representa-
tiyes from, each county to meet at the
State Capital to devise some plan OF
action BY which the white people OF
the State can agree upon representa-
ton in the constitutional convention.
When the call was made we endorsed
it, and We still believe great good
can be accomplished at the confer
ence on the 9th of March. The
question is, will Clarendon be repre-
sented in the conference? No one
has any special authority to call a
meeting, and as the Times is always
ready and willing to do its part to-
wards bringing about a settlement OF
of the differences among the people
and to aid in any endeavor that will
bring about a happier state OF afhrs,
we take the liberty Of asking that a
mass meeting of white voters from
the different sections of the county
be held in the court house on Satur-
day March 23d to determine the ad-
visibility of sending delegates to the
conference.
Whether we decide to be repre-
sented CT not, the meeting will do
good, for the reason that eztraordi-
nary efforts are being made to organ
ize the negroes and it is well for US
to counsel together now, in order
that we may understand each other,
and be prepared for any emergency.
It will not do for TO wait until the
enemy are upon as before we begin
to make our preparations. Remem-
Der the registration OF the voters
must be looked after, and every
white man that wants to see the per-
petuation of white mans supremacy
in this State will have important
work to do. We therefore urge
upon the white men of this county to
assemble in the court house on Satur-
day March 23d to determine whether
or not to elect delegates to the Co
lumbia conference, and to devise
plans by which every white voter in
Che county will be prepared to vote
for delegates to the constitutional
convention.

THE WEATHER EFFECTS TRADE.
Bradstreets Reriew Not Encouraging to
the South or West

NEW YoRK, February l6. - Brad
streets says: Mercantile collections
South and West with few exceptions
are slow and unsatisfactory. Southern
merchants and manufacturers in some
instances are making greater efforts to
collect amounts due than to sell goods.
As one consequence of the recent ex-
treme weather trade at Augusta has
fallen of to marked degree, as at Bir-
mingham, Chattanooga, Atlanta and
New Orleans, merchants at the latter
point finding an unfavorable influence
also in the stoppage of payments OF su-
gar bounties. Word comes from Texas
that snow throughout that state has
checked the volume of trade In all
directions.
