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

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.

in securing Judge Buchanan's endorse
ment to un application for the reduc
tion and it has gone to the governor

LaPortr, Ind., April t.—Unless

Eugene V. Debs will be the choice of
Indiana as the candidate of the peoples
party for president in 1898. Debs dabs,
having for their object the capture
of the Indiana delegation to the
national convention, are being organ
ized throughout northern Indiana. The
promoters of tbe movement to bring
about an amalgamation of the indus
trial organization in the interests of
the labor leader are prominent mem
bers of the Knights of Labor, whose
chieftain, Grand Master Workman
Sovereign, in an interview at Columbus,
O., Friday, nominated Debs for the
presidency.
MONUMENT TO GEN. STUART.

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.

Columbia, 8. 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. Respectfully submitted.
