NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Movement Set OH Foot and Delegates
Chosen to State Meeting.

yesterday morning meeting was
held IN the Court House looking to
the organization Of a white Republi-
can party In Oconee county as a
branch OF the proposed white Repub-
llcan party of South Carolina. The
meeting was very we'll attended

The meeting was called to order

was elected chairman Of the meet
ing. o. w. Pitts, of Westminster,
was elected secretary.
Tomorrow the State meeting will
br held in Columbia to effect the per-
manent State organization, and great
things are expected from this meet
ing by the adherents to the prmci-
pies and policies Of the Republican
party, who have come to realize the
necessity of an absolute white Re-
publican party If anything Is to be
accomplished so far rs that party is
concerned in the South. Delega es
to this convention in Columbia were
chosen. each having am alternate. rs

delegates; w. II. Cox, O. w. Pitts,
alternateS.
Those who lead in the movement
feel that the time is ripe for the or
ganization of white Republican
party In South Carolina. The move
hehl over the State seems also to be
.. no small greater IN
lact' IN other sections than in Oco-
nee. 1T is the purpose Of the new
movement, so we are informed, 10
organize this party on strictly white
ana with no appeal to the negro vote.
AS it has heen EXPRESSED, they wish
to have two white parties, in both of
which the whole people can have
confidence, and for whom all can
nave full respect, and from such a
condition they feel that great benefit
will ultimately come to the State at
large, not only locally, but in nation
al affairs as well.
The meeting yesterday was harmo-
NOUS, and those who attend the State
meeting as delegates will return TO
Oconee to report the results of the
larger meeting to those interested in
the county organization.

lnmbla tomorrow will he watched
with interest not only by those con-
nected with the new movement, but
by those Of Democratic, persuasion as
those of Democratic persuasion as
well. Somewhat similar movements
nave heretofore been made, but on
these occasions the "black and tans"
nave gotten control OF the situation
to so great an extent that the oily
whites were compelled to separate
themselves from the dominant fac
tlon. This time, however, 1t Is GER
tain, the prime movers claim, to re-
suit In the organization OF what may
truly and honestly be termed a re-
spectacle Republican party, and that
the respectable wing will hereafter
be the controlling one.
There Is no questioning the fact
that such an organization will de-
VeloD much greater strength than the
party has ever mustered under the
old regime, and to-m0rrow's work in
the convention will be of vast inter
est TO the general public

OCONEE OR ANDERSON?
"Notcr" Does Not Think Many Want
to Leave OcOncc

Pendleton, Oct. 25.--Editor Keo-
wee Courier: Our people have been
and are satisfied with their condition.
each section Of Pickens ana Oconee
which some wish to move to Ander-
son is up-tO-date as far as schools,
churches, roads and bridges are con-
cerned. This territory in the pro-
posed change has more uD-to date
roadways and iron bridges than any
other nine miles square in the State
OF South Carolina, and our schools
are as good as afforded anywhere.
Why should any Of us listen TO our
nearby neighbors who wish to have
us join them? understand that
few OF us have been doing the
county out Of taxes for some time,
in both sections Of Oconee and Pick
ems. Anderson as rule plucks her
taxes, and we can rest assured Oco-
nee will get them from now on. We
all understand that the only cause
assigned In the petition for removal
was that we could get better roads If
located in Anderson. If we had been
as prompt to pay our taxes as we
nave been to try to discredit Oconee
management we could have used
some Of the taxes that Oconce Will
never get on those roads, and we
could have had all this time inn
proVements equal to any in the State.
There have been few persuaded by
outsiders who never gave the propo-
sition thought with exception Of
the glorious removal" We have
considered the matter over and now
see 1t is mistake to go to Ander-
son, as we have as good regulations
and accommodations. in Oconec as we
Will get in the State.
If there is a citizen among us not
content to live in Oconee, "let him
take up his bed and walk to Ander-
son or anywhere he may wish. am
sure Oconoc Is not dependent upon
any who do not wish to stay within
her borders. don't think there is
one among us.
After due consideration we feel
that it is a shame that we have al
lowed the matter to come out before
the public. But wise men make mis-
takes and change their minds; 9TH
ers never change. Nevertheless we
are going to vote on the question,
but we will remain in Oconee, and
hope there will not be many who wish
to leave, as they will have to pick up
and go by themselves. Don't pay at
tention to outsiders. Consider your
own freedom here in DC, nee; not
how proud Anderson would be of us,
but how proud we are to be in Oco-
nee. Voter.
