VOL. XXII, NO. 14. DARLINGTON, S. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1895. WHOLE NUMBER 1,052. IN SODTH CAROLINA Current Newe For the Week Throughout the State. COLLECTOR WARREN ON CLEVELAND. H. rtrmlf H.ll.vo. That Qrovsr Will H. th. Nmt* PrMldnutia! KamlaM of (ho Don.ocratio Party—Other HM«h Carolina Mawa Chablestoh, 8. C., April 2.—Mr. Windoir Warren, collector of the port of Boeton, la In the city for a short visit. Mr. Warren is a staunch Cleveland democrat He was appointed to office under the present national administra tion, bat the oollectorship was ten dered him without solicitation on his part He belongs in actual trnth to that very small and always decreasing minority of office holders upon whom public duty is thrust—men who accept office without having sought it In New England Mr. Warren's views upon the national questions are familiar to the newspaper reading public, but this being his first lengthy stay in the south, the people of this section are not so well informed regarding his po- polittcal opinions. In response to a re quest from a reporter be allowed him self be interviewed. "I am." said Mr. Warren, "» follower of sad s firm believer in President Clev, land. “It Is yet too early to talk positively of the next national campaicn. but at this distance it looks very much as If Cleveland would be forced to become the next democratic presi dential nominee. I don't think he wants the nomination, but I would not be surprised to see him thrust into It. The moneyed men of the country have greater faith end confidence In turn financially than In any other public man, and I would not be surprised to see such a uni versal demand for his renomlnatlon that the party would haye to heed It and he himself bow to it. If it Is sot Cleveland. I cannot 1m- axine who It will be. As a Massachusetts man I would, of course, put Russell forward. He is perfectly sound upon the financial question, and this la going to be the issue in the next national campaign. The republicans will feel it too; their leading candidates are all more or less tainted financially. A man need not be an advocate of free silver to be unsound on tbe fi nancial lasue. There are many smears that haye been given by the sllyer stick, end. Tom Reed and other leading republicans have not escaped them. The masses of the people, how ever, will demand a candidate who has a clean flnanetal record.'' THE DEATH OF SAMUEL J. LEE. South Carolina Megro Who Figured In the I'olltloe of That State. Ckarlmtox, 8. C, April 2.—Samuel J. Lee, colored, who succeeded the no- torious Franklin J. Moses as speaker of the house of representatives of this state in 1872, died suddenly here yesterday of heart disease. Lee was born in Ab beville county and was a relative of General Samuel McGowan, the distin guished confederate general and was his body servant and served with him throughout the confederate war, hav ing been wounded. He managed to secure an education and when the re construction period came, moved to Edgefield county, the home of all the fin de Seicle office-holders in this state and was elected to the general assem bly where he was choaen speaker when Frank Moses was elected governor. Lee was an able and experienced lawyer and after the overthrow of the reoonstruction government in 1878 he escaped the fate of indictment that be fell meet of the office-holders of that period and settled in Charleston, where he secured something of a practice and the respect and good will of his white legal brethren. He was the only oolored brigadier general in the United States, having commanded the first brigade of colored troops of this state after It was reorganized under the democratic administration of the state. He will be buried with military honors Ws* — WILL REDUCE THE ACREAGE. THEY VISIT CHARLOTTE MILLS. Mew Ragland Mill Man Taking s Class Ssrvey of Their Field. Chablott*, N. C. April 8.—The party of New England mill men who are touring the cotton manufacturing dis tricts of the south, arrived here yester day by special train over Seaboard Air Line and devoted the forenoon to visit ing various cotton mills of this city. The visitors were cordially received by all and expressed their gratification They remarked on the similarity be tween the labor found in the factories here to that in the New England mills in former years when the operatives were largely of the families of New England farmers In the afternoon the visitors were en tertained at the manufacturer's club and in the evening left for Henrietta mills, fifty miles from here, which they will inspect today. They return here this evening when the Sonthern Rail way will take charge of them and con vey them to the principal cotton mills of South Carolina. WANTS ANOTHER NOMINATION. The ImproMlon Mads bj Mr. Clavoland oa bhrswd Politic Isas. Washisotor, April 1.—Mr. Cleveland has managed to impress some of the shrewdest politicians of his party with the idea that he wants another nomina tion. ' As strange as it may seem this is not one held alone by idle gosaipers, bnt is seriously entertained by many of the leading men. Gorman, as practical a politician aa he is. is quoted as ex pressing the firm conviction that Cleve land intends to be a candidate, and there are others, as active as tbe Mary land senator in the management of the party’s affairs, who express a similar opinion. They attribute to Mr. Cleveland a feeling that he has a mission still un fulfilled, and the belief on his part that once more before the people he can get a complete victory over those who have defeated his plans before congress.

Sooth Carolina Farmer* Will Plant Loon Cotton br Twootr-Flvo Par rant Charleston, 8. C., April 8.— The News and Courier prints today re ports from nearly all the counties in iSouth Carolina giving an estimate of the acreage devoted to cotton cultiva tion in the state this year. It is gen erally stated that there will be a reduc tion in the acreage devoted to cotton. The estimates vary widely. In some counties it will probably amount to fifty per cent, in others the reduction will not exceed ten percent; twenty- five per cent will probably be a fair estimate for the state at large. But whatever the reduction in the acreage It ia certain that there will be a reduc tion in the product. The reports from all counties agree that there will be a large reduction in the use of commer- ■‘xl fertilisers. THE BOYS MAY GO FREE. •tava and Mlteh Howard, Convletad of Mardor.

Debs dabs, having for their object the capture of the Indiana delegation to the national convention, are being organ ized throughout northern Indiana.

MONUMENT TO GEN. STUART. The Richmond. Vs., Connell Votas HIO.SOO Towards a SI to. Richmond, Va., April 2. — The city council last night set apart 910,500 to purchase a site for a monument to Gen eral J. E. a Stuart, the great Confed erate cavalry leader. The site is on Broad street in the centre of th# retail district. When Stuart was killed the council committed the city to the erection of a monument to him, and the matter has been recently revived. It is thought that the Stuart Monu ment association will now press the matter of collecting funds for an eques trian statue.

The governor say* he has made three other appointments—one to speak in Ottawa, Kan., one in Atlanta, Ga., and one at some other point—and that representations sent ont that he was planning a “swing around the circle,” were entirely unjustifiable.

C, March 27.—The P««ce and unity convention, called for the purpose of harmonizing the differ ences of the white people of the state, and bringing the factions together in the matter of choosing delegates to the constitutional convention, thus preserv- white supremacy, was held in this city today. Nearly every county was represented It was perhaps the moat representative body of men that ever gathered in the state. Lieutenant-Governor Timmer man presided, making a most patriotic speech at the outset. The proceedings of the convention, despite the fact that there were men in the hall represent ing every faction of the white people, were characterized by the utmost good feeling. It was indeed a most remark able convention. Bnt of the convention: It was in it self an inspiring sight. Seated side by side were representatives of the ortho dox schools of reformers and conserva tives It was, indeed, a strange but welcome sight to see such a thorough and homogeneous mixture of the polit ical armies of the state. It promised well for the future. It demonstrated how ripe the political soil of the state was for the peace and unity seed that haa but recently been sown. It showed conclusively that the work of honest and patriotic citizens is not in vain. True, there were some disgruntled pol iticians in the gathering, bnt. they are to be found in almost any new move ment. and, taken altogether, the nine ty odd delegates who attended tonight’s convention of the "forty” represented something, and there was many a grave and staunch heart in that crowd that came from twenty-eight of the counties to do their part towards harmouizing the white people once more. What was done? An address or plat form was promulgated expressive of the desires of the delegates, bnt there was almost as much in the fact that such a gathering was possible. The address is in line with the original pur poses of the forty, except that the con ference suggestion of an equal division of the delegates was accepted, as also the idea of not referring the work of the convention back to the people. The address says, “With a convention so chosen the people will he satisfied with the constitution it will adopt.” The original forty moreover say that they have no idea of having the work of the convention referred back to the people. How about the conference? Those who represented that idea seemed to be very well satisfied with what was done and the “forty” are anxious to have it understood that they are iu line with the work of the conference. The com mittee is to confer with the executive committee of the conservatives, who were represented in tho conference, if things work out all right. At no stage of the proceedings, in the preliminary work, in the committee room or in the convention, was there any direct and simple endorsement of the plan of the conference proposed. No fight was made for it, as it seemed to be deemed best to work on that lino, but not in tbe exact groove. The action of the convention ia em braced in the following; We cordUllv welcome other aid and Invite tbe co-oparstlon of all who favor s combina tion of the wisdom and patriotism of tbe state, reitardless of factions. In tbe task of recon- structina our organic law. In common with all patriotic people of tbe state, we lament that tbe democratic party of tbe state, so long united and invincible, has been torn asunder by strife and Us unity endangered by the bit terness of factional spirit. The causes whi-h have 1(8 to these unhappy results need not now be discussed. In view of tbe coming con stitutional convention. In order that tbe bonor of the state may be preserved and the welfare of tbe people protected and promoted, it Is of vital Importance that factional lines be Ig nored, If not obliterated. In tbe selection of delegates to the convention. Thus and tbua only can tbe new constitution become tbe bond and seal of union among tbe people of South Carolina. Therefore wc recommend: First. That In the election of delegatee to the constitutional convention only men of pru dence and patriotism be chosen: and that they be divided equally between tbe factions as heretofore existing as fsr as possible: when equal division Is Impossible that such fair divi sion be made ae will beat subserve the great purpose of securing while nnlty and a non partisan constitution. Second. That we are unalterably and Irrevo cably pledged to tbe supremacy of Anglo- Saxon clvHlxatlon In every part and depart ment of our government to be secured by fair and constitutional methods. But this can only be accomplished by the unity of our people. Third. We have unbounded faith In tbe peo ple. and conBdently trust them, to select del egates to tbe constitutional convention to rep resent tbelr opinions with an eye single to their fitness for tbe great work that will con front them. With a convic tion no chosen tbe people will be satisfied with tbe constitution it will adopt Fourth. To put tbs objects of this confer ence Into practical effect and to promote the accomplishment thereof, we recommend tbe appointment of n state working committee to be composed of two from each county, one from each faction whose duty it shall be forthwith to prepare and promulgate a pins of organisation of all democrats In the state, who are In sympathy with tbe object and purposes herein declared, and that this committee work la eonjunrlion with all other committees hav ing the name objects In view, being always subordinate to the state democratic executive committee.
