In an interview which appeared in
the Baltimore Evening Sun on Tues
day Ex-Governor Brown, who is well
knewn to the people had the follow
ing to say which gives them a
true insight into the motives and
actions of the Democratic party in
this State. Coming from such a man
the people cannot help taking cogniz-
ance Of it. lie says:
"The leaders will run into the con-
vention ready to do ANYTHING tc catch
every vote. In desperation they will
play for the white and black and
green and yellow voter all votes
will look alike to them--aI.d they'll
promise any thing ard everything
under heaven to save the ticket. But
when the time for fuifiilment comes
they v i'll find that they cannot make
good"

One thing that we consider abso-
lutely essential to the public welfare
of South Carolina. Is a rule making the
possession of state registration GER
tificate a prerequisite to the right to
vote In a primary election. We would
not discriminate against any Demo
crat who has a shadow Of right to
vote and we do not think such rule
would discriminate. Our reason for
advocating this rule Is to ensure the
control Of the county to the people
who live here and who expect to live
here. and to cut off from voice in the
government floating class that is
here today and somewhere else to-
morrow, but generally in different
parts of the state. at the same time sc
as to facilitate the right to vote
wherever it may be at election time
A rule like this Is necessary to prevent
colonization of voters as was charged
in Richland county some years ago,
and has been known to be practiced In
different parts of the state. We do
not hold that the farmer has any
more right to vote than the mill work
er. nor do we accord superior rights to
the rich man over the poor man; but
we do insist that the man who is a
fixture and who bears the heat and
burden of the day in the way Of taxes
and the various duties that are ex-
pected of all good citizens. has a right
to be protected from the floaters who
care less than they know about local
conditions and who esteem the right
to vote only as a commodity or special
favor, regardless of its possible con-
sequences, The rules governing our
primary elections are too lax, and If
the people would protect themselves
they will do some thinking on their
own account, rather than blindly fol-
low the lead. of designing politicians
who care only for the maintenance of
their own power.

The indications are that Governor
Blease Is going to pardon Darlington
and Young, the scape-goats or the
Seminole experiment In High FL
nance" in South Carolina. BY specia
permission these two men went before
the governor in his office wednesday
of last week in stripes, accompanied
by their attorney, Mr.. Elliott, anc
made their plea for pardon. There wal
no other expectation, Of course, thar
that the pardon would be forthcom'
| ing; but the governor has not seer
proper to act finally until he has gone
through certain preliminaries. Amont
other things he has sent to Thomas
Is. Bryan, Willie Jones and w. A
Clark, trustees Of the Seminole Secur'
tiles company and Frank G. Thomp
kins. chairman of the board of re-
ceivers of the company. the following
letter:
II am informed that you are a trus
tee Of the defunct Seminole Securitle!
company. 1 now have under consid
Grafton petitions for the pardon Of
Messrs. Darlington and Young fol
their association with that company
II you or your associates can show
cause or desire to furnish any reason:
why these parties should not receive
executive clemency, 1 would be pleas
ed If you would present the same tC
me on or before January /, 1872
Now it is up to Jones and Clark. II
they were really the unsuspecting In
nocents they claimed to be in this
whole matter, they will certainly sa!
that men as guilty as Darlington and
Young, especially as Darlington
should be punished. Otherwise, In
view of the consequences should they
be disposed to appear vengeful, they
will probably plead that mercy be
shown these misguided youths In the
hope that they will profit by the un-
pleasant experience through which
hey have passed.

CHRISTMAS.

Because Of so much hard times tall
during the past six weeks. growing
more pronounced along about the
middle Of the month, there was much
apprehension among the business ele.
ment that the Christmas trade would
be dull; but II did not turn out thai
way.
Thursday Of last week was a bad
day from a weather point Of view and
Friday following was simply horrid
The rain fell throughout the day ir
every part Of the county, and belateo
shoppers who were figuring on max
ing their Christmas purchases on that
day had to remain indoors. The vol.
ume of business was small at all OF
the trading points; but on Saturday II
was different.
The bad weather continued on Sat
urday. There was not so much rair
but II was wet under foot. and ordi.
narily there would have been very
little moving about; but 1t developed
that Santa Claus was not nearly as
hard up as he was generally reputed tc
be. He raised big lot Of cash some.
where, and he put in the whole Of Sat.
urday exchanging it for all kinds OF
things that were desired in the home
He was quite liberal with the children
In the matter Of toys, candy and other
good things: but he did not stop al
that. He bought lots Of solid, sub
stantial goods.
The common verdict throughout
Yorkville Saturday night was that the
Christmas trade was the best the town
has known for years. and information
from other trading points In the coun-
ty Is to the same effect.

increased by the next crop, and that
therefore cotton is good property. Just
as farmers who still have their cotton
and are able to hold II are doing so
with all confidence as to the future. so
cotton merchants who have the money
are believed to be buying cotton as an
investment, feeling assured that prices
must go up. AS to what the local mills
are doing, nobody knows. They may
have cotton bought in, or they may not
have 1t. Their warehouses are no in
dex for a mill with empty warehouses
can easily have an abundant supply of
cottonA in other warehouses, under
contract that the cotton must be de-
livered at so much a month as need
ed. Usually such purchases are
made of cotton brokers, which means
that II cotton advances after contracts
have been made, it is up to the bro
kers to make good. The brokers,
however, usually protect themselves,
by hedges in futures, and there Is the
situation. The prospect for a steady
advance in prices seems good; but as
to what is going to happen, of course,
nobody knows.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There was very little drunkenness
In evidence In Yorkville during the
holidays-less probably than has ever
been known.
The Tavora Cotton mill. which has
been idle for some months past, re-
sumes operations on January l, under
the general management Of Mr.. w. B.
Moore, with the understanding that
the mill will continue In operation un-
til about April when Ii will probably
be sold under foreclosure. The mill
has bonded Indebtedness Of $4,000.
- It Is to be noted with qualification
and pleasure that the annual property
destroying raid over town by boys and
young men on Christmas night was
cut out this year. This Is vicious
custom that has come down from past
generations in Yorkville. and IL 1t Is
not renewed Sunday night there will
be good reason to hope that 1t Is dead.
Miss Mamie Turner, who has been
the accommodating and efficient night
lcentral at the local telephone office for
la number Of years past, was married
last Saturday to Mr.. Plato D. McCord.
The marriage was quiet affair, and
|although it had been under contempla-
tion for some time, was quite a sur
prise to many friends Of the young
people. Nothing wass generally known
Of 1t until after the ceremony.
There is a fast developing convic-
tion that the taxpayers Of Yorkville,
the people who furnish the money to
run the government, have a right, like
the taxpayers of other towns, to have
published itemized statements of dis
|bursements, in order that they may
know where their money goes, to whom
and for what. The law under which
the town Is being governed provides
for the publication of such a state
ment annually but very little atten-
ever, the expense Of publishing such
statement monthly, as 1t Is published
by other towns Is no greater than pub
fishing it annually, and monthly state
ments will be more satisfactory.
Uncle Charlie" a good old negro,
wellknown locally. formerly slave
of the late r. G. McCaw. died last
Wednesday night. The old fellow has
been quite a character in the town for
many years. He frequently made
claims to being considerably more
than one hundred years old: but this
was not taken seriously. 1t has been
stated to The Enquirer on what ap-
pears to be good authority that he was
born about 1920. Charlie was one Of
the old time negroes who never took
much stock I'm the freedom idea. He
shifted for himself shortly after the
war but he always considered that his
first duty was to the children Of his
old master. and they always had the
preference of such service as he was
able to render. Messrs r. G. and II.
]. McCaw and Mrs. Belle Alston saw
to II that Uncle Charlie" had de-
cent burial.
