lieve that if we recommend an equal division, the people will resent it. I move that we strike out the world "equal," and put in "fair and equitable." Mr. W. Perry Murphy said : We have met here for the purpose of attaining a result specifically expressed in the preamble of the resolutions. If the motion of my friend from Manning prevails we cannot hoDe to attain that result. A'few weeks ago certain gentlemen met in this city and declared and said they would advocate that the convention be composed equally of representatives from each faction ol the State. We have Governor Evans and Senator Tillman as representatives of the Reform faction, and we have on the fioor of this convention men who are in favor of an equal division of delegates between the two factions. I believe it to be the best interests that factional "?* 1 " 1 - \\r^ C!a?. lines snaix ueoomenueu. ?? ? u?>c.senator Irby expressing himself as unalterably opposea to an equal division. We have Messrs. Tillman and Evans favoring it. He contrasted the Tillman plan and the scheme proposed by the conferees and said that if we went back to the people and ottered them lessthan the conference oftwo or three weeks ago, he felt confident that the people wduldf not support the action of the convention. He was unalterably opposed to an appeal to the Negro. He believed the majority of the people were opposed to it. [Applause.] But if we go back to the people without a plan to please such people, I am afraid that the appeal will be made. I trust that my friend will not require the question to be put to a vote. I trust that he will withdraw it. Strike out "equal" and put in "equitable," and it would compel a large body of citizens, both of Reformers and Conservatives, to withdraw from the movement. Congressman McLaurin said: If there is ever a time for men to speak out, now is the time. As a member of the Reform party and a member of this peace and harmony convention, he would rather give more than fall before the line. This is no time for a dispute over the number of delegates to be allowed each faction in the counties. As far as I myself am concerned, I don't like this talk about division ; but by the powers over which I have no control and you have not, the equal division has gone out to the people of the State. It looks to me as if we would fall short if we failed to adopt this section of the address. No men or set of men, no convention has a right to tell the people what they shall do. But in recognition of the general idea given out as the division, we should not be behind in that respect. We endorse an equal division ; but leave it to the people to see what they will do. In some counties an equal division will be practicable and in others it will not. All we propose to do is to put our action back to the people. What we do binds nobody except as the people decide. The powers that be have determined upon an equal division, and we as Reformers should feel ashamed if we fall below what they have done. If we should go back to our homes and not do as the resolution provides, Reformers and Conservatives at home would o?a on 1 vv Vinrn fn nffnp repuumie U?. ?? C aiv UUIJ uvtv >u V1.V> advice. We stand here representing no faction; but the white people of South Carolina. The reading of the fourth section brought out no end of speech making. Hon. J. A. Sligh opposed it. and made a strong speech against its adoption. He said that he occupied a peculiar position. He was a member of the Democratic Executive committee which drafted rules for the primary. He was from Newberry; but he didn't oppose the meeting which was held there. He was not a candidate for election to this convention, but being asked, he came as a delegate. The call for the meeting of the "Forty" said that nothing should be done except what was subject to the regularly organized Democratic committee. The Democracy of the State has a regularly organized committee. Every county in the State was regularly organized under this committee. Now, what do we propose to do tonight ? Organize another party ? Another faction ? Another executive committee to oppose the regular Democracy of South Carolina ? Let me say that I am here tonight in favor of white supremacy; in favor of the unity of the white people, *-?cj toiM? tA ninnoc \v)\nt\ hn< Ullt UU IIUV 1CV uo ivcii *.W j/?vvv.7 ? ..?v already been done by organizing a separate body. For one I will not submit to it, not because I am not in favor of peace and harmony, but because if you do this you might as well go home and let the lines be drawn as heretofore. I will protest against its adoption. If you do so you will do it without my consent. If you do it, you do an injustice to the Reform and Conservative factions as well as the regularly organized Democratic Executive committee. Let us do what is right and everything will go along smoothly. Senator Finlev in replying to Mr. Sligh and his questions and insinuations, said, that asone who knows something of the "Forty," he wished to say something. The gentleman insinuates that it is proposed to form a new party. He didn't see now a gentleman ot intelligence should insinuate such a question unless he had forgotten historv. In the lirst address, and in other addresses, the "Forty" had distinctly stated that they were acting within the Democratic party. Xever since that day has any sentiment otherwise been expressed. The convention was assembled here to counsel and take advice inside the Democratic party. The address was a short and plain statement. It announced that the movement was an auxiliary to the regular Democratic organization. Can't that be done inside the party? Mr. Sligh, in 18!?4, was chairman of an auxiliary and factional committee. He can't deny that; and if he and lus committee could act so, was it not entirely consistent for this convention to appoint an auxiliary committee to the Democratic Executive Committee ? The aim and object of this convention was to secure all white men their rights and avoid an ap- ' peal to the Negro. Quite .a spirited discussion took place over the word "executive," before "committee," in the fourth resolutions, and it was at last decided to substitute for "executive." the word "working." With this amendment, the platform was adopted as a whole, and the chair was instructed to appoint a working committee to cousist of two members?one Reformer and one Conservative?from each county. The conference then adjourned. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. Netted 235 Pounds at Eight Months?Fertilizers for Corn?Death of Mr. Henderson AVhisonant?Constables Seize a Distillery. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksbviu;, March 2S.?Mrs. Elizabeth Sapoch, who is oue of the best aud most thrifty farmers in the Holly Grove community, recently killed au eight-months-old pig that netted 235 pounds. It was of the Poland China and Corbett breeds. About 20 members of the Holly Grove sub-Alliance have bought 17 tons of fertilizer for this year's crop ; but a good deal of it is to be used for corn. Mr. Henderson "Whisouant died at his home near Antioch church on the 21st instant, aged 79 years. He was born very near the place where he died, aud had never lived very far away from it. He was well known as an honorable, upright man, aud a prominent and consistent member of the Baptist church. He adorned his profession with good deeds in all the relations of his life. His fuueral was preached by Rev. Hickson on the 22d, and he was laid to rest in the old burying ground of Antioch church, where he had so often worshipped. State Constables Xewbold, Foster and Ryce, arrested Mac Byars yesterday and took charge of his government distillery. They also arrested George Cashion for having in his possession more than one gallon of whisky. They both gave bond for their trial before Trial Justice Camp on Saturday next. The constables propose to take charge of the whisky at Byars's distillery and have sent for Solicitor Henry, who is expected to be here on Saturday. W. A. CLOSED WITH AN ENTERTAINMENT. Correspondence of the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Bethany, March 25.?It was quite a treat to me to witness the examination of S. C. Raterree's school at Bethany, on the 22d and the entertaiument on the night of the same. After the morning prayer, the examination commenced at about 9 o'clock and continued. including the usual interval, un til about 4 o'clock iu the afternoon. DuriDg the interval, we had a fine picnic dinuer. Good order prevailed at the table?as good as I have ever seen. There was an abundance of those things that are pleasant to the eye and good for food. I do not suppose that much over half of the provisions were consumed notwithstanding the number of consumers was unusually large. This speaks well for the ladies. So much for our physical enjoyments. Next, I speak of the intellectual treat. The classes were rigidly examined by Mr. Raterree in spelling, reading, geography and arithmetic. The pupils acquitted themselves well in their studies, and a good number of them in spelling, far more than well. They respect their teacher and desire to please him. He seems to have a turn for winning the affections of his pupils, and an easy and happy way ol communicating instruction. I am satisfied that all his patrons are well pleased with him, as a teacher. Next, at candle light, came the entertainment, and continued with great interest until about 11 o'clock. This part consisted of declamations and dialogues. All went off well. We were gratified and edified with the examination, entertained and pleased with the entertainment. The teacher, pu pils, aud patrons deserve much credit, for it requires the united effort of all these to make a school prosperous aud profitable. We wish bim, his pupils and patrons, a happy and useful life in this world, aud a blessed immorality in the next. J. H. Douglas. LETTER FROM L0WRYSV1LLE. Unusual Weather Condition?Organizing a Chain Gang?Business at the Dispensary. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Lowrysville, March 28.?The bearing of the weather on farm operations is the all important topic of discussion at this lime. The state of the weather, up to this time, has been such as to preveut any plowing from being done. This passes all previous experience. In 1891, the plows were started the 16th of March ; but that record is beaten at least a week in the present instance. Rev. T. C. Ligon, of Townsville, S.

The Chester dispensary had quite a run of business on Monday evening of last week. A town which had recently voted down a proposition to establish a dispensary, was well represented.

Bethel, March 27.?Wheat and oats are both looking well in most places in this section, and with no mishaps, we have the promise of a good crop. Quite a number of farmers have bought their guano; but as yet few of them have had an opportunity of putting it in the ground. The indications are that they will not need it much except for corn. The cotton acreage will surely be largely reduced as compared with last year. There is a great deal of sickness in the northern and eastern sections of this township. The prevailing malady is chills, and, strange to say, it is the people who live ou the ridges instead of those who live along the water courses, who are being most severely attacked. We have a fine school at Glendale academy, with between 20 and 25 pupils. Miss Jenuie Johnson is the teacher. t. x. k. LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY.

The farmers iu this section are not going to use much guano except under corn. Those who have already-tried guano under corn say that it pays as well as under cotton. Sigma. McCOXXELLSVILLE MATTERS.
