The counties of Georgetown, Barn- j well, Beaufort. Darlington, Hampton, I ?cooee" Williamsburg and York were not represented ! The work of the committee was all j cut and dried, aod the handiwork of I irby. Tillman and Evans was visible all through the proceedings. The com? mittee was called together to devise a ? plan to defeat the efforts of the Forty and others to obtain peace and unity among the w^iite people of tbe State, and the pian selected will prove success- j ful without a doubt. The meeting was opened with a speech by Senator irby, who spoke as follows : "Geotlemen of the Committee: It has ; not been customary for the chairman of : this committee to open its proceedings : with any remarks, but on this occasion I deem it necessray to have something to say io brief "lo view of all that has happened in \ this .State since 1890, it is well that we ? shotiid take our bearings now and meet the fituation face to face like men. *I cannot congratulate you on a; Dr i ht outlook for the Democracy. You and th??M: whom we represent., are in no way responsible for this. When the Democratic party came into power iu 1876, under a Constitution that was \ forced upon the people by a Republican government, one of the first questions ! agitated, the first demand made by the people was for a Constitutiooal conven-1 zion to frame an organic law that would be adapted to their waots The powers that coo trolled between '76 aod '90 for rearons satisfactory to themselves, ? but unexplained to the people, dallied with this question aod refused their i reasooable demand Fortunately for ' the State, the people took charge in . 1890, and after a loog aod hard strug- j gie, succeeded io rarifyiog the call made by the Legislature of 1893. The j Democratic party of the State, whom i yon aod I represent, aod I may say j the only Democratic organization io the ! State, proposed in its last convention of last September to make it a party question. The Republicans aod lode-; pendents, aided by some loyal Demo erais, ?ame very near defeatiog this : eall at the last November electioo. You tod I considered it as our imperative duty, representiog as we do, the will of that Democratic convention, to urge ? tbe people to sustain it. After a fair and free electioo, it was carried by a short margin. ? bad hoped when this ' call was made aod the Legislature bad passed so act carrying it out. that its white enemies, for the good of the State and white supremacy, would have grouoded their arms aod allowed a peaceful aod harmonious solution of this question; but oot so. We are con frooted today, first, by a Republican organization, which, outside of a few Coogressiooai districts, bas beeo re? garded as a political corpse, though its representatives aod its black hosts are now attempting to be marshalled for a desperate struggle. But for some thicks, which I shall hereafter mention, they could be easily overcome, for the rank and file cf the Repub?caos in this State a<-e tired of politics and cannot be organized io such Dumbers as to threat thc defeat of this coovention and white supremacy. "Second, there is a quasi organization made up under the leadership of the editor of The State. They, calling themselve Democrats, are unwilling and have been since 1890, to submit to what a majority of the white people de? mand and are ready not only to defeat the call aod objects of this convention, but to uoite in an unholy alliance with the negro leaders, whom they helped to overthrow in 187G. I rejoice, however, that this number is small and caunot as? sume dangerous proportions. **Tbere is still another element : that is the more conservative of the Con? servative (so-called) element who arc twilling to unite with the uegro, but are unfriendly to the present ad istration and its officers, here is still another that belongs is known as the Reform party not all. of whom were opposed tion of Goveror Evans. Lastly, there is the Reform 1 meut upoo whom, tuaok God, committee, with all its scattered fe if necessary to maintain white > macy, can rally and rely ; ami, with groat defection among the \ people, can defeat the Republican! S3 ve the eon ven ison "It is our duty, and the white pi of the State expect us to pei form see that the Republicans are def< io the election for delegates to this vention. There is no use to u words about it. We must carry convention or white suptemacy is forever. "The Constitution, under nh iel were elected, does not give us thc press power to act iu this matter, it.does by implication Ft was a p question. This committee took ch of it as such and urged its ratifica at the last election. They talk of p and harmony i ri the Democratic ps There is as much peace aDd ham in that party of South Carolina there is in any other State of the Un It is only the wail of the minority will '"H submit to the will of the jority. '*? would not dictate I have t since I have been chairman of this c mittee to avoid eveu the appearanc dictation, but there is only one wa_ which peace and harmony can be in South Carolina aL-d only one way which success can come to tbe wi people in the election of delegates this convention, and that is, for committee to order a piimary elect for white Democrats of the State to holden in Ju!y or August for the p pose of selecting such delegates. "If the factions have grievances them settle them at this election, j let every 'rue white man of ttie S? abide by iis'resulr. Otherwise, we imo the fight disorganized and s? inf?^everal factions to meet the ] publicans who are organized. ? i pardon fer this departure and annoui that, a quorum being present., committee is ready for the transact: of business." Gov. Evans and Senator-elect Ti man were invited to be present a a committee was appointed to w on them and escort them into t room. Dr. Lowman, of Orangeburg, th ofifered a resolution providing for t holding of a general primary elccti to choose candidates for delegates the constitutional convention, every county where it was deem practicable by the county committ and for the appointment of a comm tee of seven to draft suitable rules ai regulations governing such a p mary. Senator Irby said as lin undershot thi*6 resolution it provided for general primary Mr. Gray said that the r?solu tit should make it clear that there shou be a primary unless otherwise o dered by the county executive con mittee of any county. Mr. W. D Evans-Do you propoi to make any provisions for a car; paign before this primary is held ? Dr. Low rn an-My idea is that eac county can act as it sees fit with r gard to that. Mr Evans then went on to sa that this was above all else a matte tn which the people themselvt should have a say. He was oppose to men being chosen by any cauct or small convention that represente nothing. Mr. Efird brought up anothe matter. Ile doubted the right t the committee to go ahead and orde a general primary for this purpose He did not see that the Constituito of the party was clear on the subject They ought not now at this tim take the responsibility of issuing mandatory order, without first con suiting and seeing what their au thority was. He was in accord wit the plan and he only wished tha they should put themselves in th proper light. The committee ough not to lay down an ironclad plai for each county. Mr. Gray offered an amendmen that the candidates should be chosei by a primary unless that be deemet impracticable by the county execu tive committee Mr. Efird did not think that tin committee should adopt the las part of the resolution. He did no think that they should decide to gt into a primary at this time any how Ile moved that the resolution be sc amended as to strike out the entire latter portion. Mr. Erird's amendment was votec down. Mr. Ly les motion to strike out thc "practicable" portion met the same fate. Mr. Gadsden of Charleston then of? fered an ameudment that the rules and regulations should b'i submitted to a subsequent meeting of the whole com? mittee. He said that this convention matter would require other rules than those which usually governed the pri? maries. TIIK PRIMARY CALLED The resolution was then adopted in the following form : Resolved that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention be nominated by a primary to be held in all couuties, unless deemed impracticable by the county executive committee, under the auspices of the State executive commit? tee, and that a committee of seven bc appointed by the committee to draft rules to bc submitted to a subsequent meeting of this committee. There was some discussion about the date, but a motion by Dr. Williaus i that the primary be held the last Tues ?M- mmmn-nw~~^r---BM day i'i July was adopted. The?1? x fear of running the primary and I geiierul election too close together a there was much talk ab>ut it. Soi wished to leave the matter of fixing I date lill the next meeting nf the co mittee It was decided that t: e seco primary should be held two weeks st sequent to the first. enator Irby on motion of Dr. Lo man was made chairman of the co mittee of seven. He appointed t rest of the committee as follows : I Lowman, J. D. Montgomery, J. \ Gray, P. H. Gadsden, J. A. Siigh a W. B Watson On motion of Mr. Kfird the comm tee decided to issue an address to ! Democratic party of the State aud committee of five consisting of Messi Efird, Gentry, Ira B. Jones, Gie; aod W. D. Evans, waa appointed prepare it. Mr. Evans wanted the address su mitted to the next meeting of the cot mittee. This was voted dowu and t address will be issued as soon as pr pared. A resolution offered by Mr. Efi was adopted urging Democrats tbroug out the State to register, and forth urging every county committee to tal the matter of registration in hand once The committee then adjourned. --aa?W- ? 1 mm m Shooting Affray in BarnweJ An Outrag? bv Gamblers Ov< Which the Town Was Fxcited BARNWELL. February 5.-The tow was thrown into wild excitement th evening at 5 o'clock over one of the bi< gest shooting ^crapes that has occurre here in quite a long time. The shoo lng was done principally by Charles I: Swan, the ex-constable and Alf re Sease, a farmer. Mr. Sease is til only one seriously shot. The ball er tered just below his left nipple, and th doctors are now trying to find it. Swa is shot in the arm. It is a thousand wonders that sever; men were not killed outright Th whoie matter originated about garni: ling, which had been going cn darin the morning in Jake Goldberg's sho shop, io the rear of Cave's store. Seas and Swan drew their pistols on cac other in the streets after leaving Gold berg's store, but did not use them This evening Sea^e went to Trial Jus tice Holman's office to take out a war rant for Swan. He met Swan in th office and hot words were passed. Judg Holman sent for Sheriff Lancaster t arrest the men, but in the meanwhi! pistols were drawn in the office, an; Holman pushed Sease by the side doo into the Messrs. Paterson & Bolman' law office. Swan went to the fron dnor and both mer again in the haliwa; in the Ryan building, just in front u Patterson & Holman's office. Thj shooting then began and about ter shots were fired. One shot took effec in Mr. W. A. Holman's finger, anc one went through his hat. One bal hit Mr J. 0. Patterson's cravat, toot out about an inch, aud one hit Seas< and one hit Swan as stated During the shooting Capt Lancastei had hold of Sease and was trying t( to arrest the men. Ar one time Bar ney McLemore had his pistol point?e at Sease, but Lancaster yelled to hin not to shoot The sheriff arrestee Swan, McLemore and Diamond anc put them all in jail, where they ar< trow. This will show whether Lancas? ter is afraid of his duty or not. Messrs. Patterson and Holman were in their private office, and both came near being accidentally killed in trying to get Sease, who had a drawn pistol, out of their office. This is the outcome of the towt council allowing gambling to go oe publicly every day and Sunday There is a regular gambling room foi whites and blacks, and it was rumored in the streets this evening that there would be an indignation meeting called to denounce the gambling. If this is nol done it is to be hoped that the grand jury will take the matter in hand, foi there is more gambling here than in any town in the State of is size and the gamblers are never molested, yei the town authoritites are fully aware of the fact. ? !? ?

Prof McCook of Trinity College who has b3cu making a study of the sub? ject, says there aro iu this couutry an army of tramps approximating 50,000 male persons. Eleven-twelfths of them are under 50 years old, hence in the prime of life. Five-sixths of them are able-bodied; perfectly healthy and capa? ble of doing as good a days work as any farm laborer. Throe-fifths of them are tradesmen or artisans, and many of them possess a considerable degree of skill. Moro than nine-tenths of them can read and write, and probably one half of them arc fairly well educated. A small percentage of them have clas? sical educations, and a great number ? are skillful accountants. They Arc Defaulters. -j Nearly All the Dispensers Are Short in Their Accounts. Columbia State, Feb. 7. When the newspaper men stepped into thc executive chamber yesterday Governor Evan? made this announce ment: "You eau say that "ve have found uearly every dispeuser iu the State behind in his accounts, sonic of them considerably behind." The Gov? ernor went on to say that, under the provisions of the new law, the count) supervisor of e; county had been made a member of the board of con? trol of each county, and this necessi? tated the dropping of one member from each county board. He says the State board is now very busy reorgan? izing the county boards. When each board has beeu reorganized, each dis? penser in the St::e will be required to execute a new bond, with sureties who must certify to owning twice as much real estate as the face value of the bond. This bond must bc approved by the county auditor; then by the county board, and finally by the State board. The State's dispensary inspectors are now hard at work inspecting every dispensary in the State. Every dispeu? ser found short in his accounts, the Governor said, must either submit a j satisfactory explanation, or else make j the shortage good immediately, or the ? State would proceed to bring suit on | the bonds and prosecute Said Gover- : nor Evans: "We can't afford to have! in charge of the State's business any : one who allows himself -o become in arrears fer any c^u-^e. After the re? organization any "fie found in arrears will be summarily discharged. The inspectors have full authority to take : charge of the assets of any dispeosarv uot conducted according to law. Governor Evans went on to say ir might be that the dispensers would be ail required to give a guarantee in? surance bond, the State giving the guarantee companies the right, to in? spect the dispeos-iries. The Governor says, iu his opinion, the shortages, j one or two of which mn up over $1.- i OOO, have been caused by the loose way nf doing business which some of ; the dispensers have practiced. He says j thc State board has been at work hav? ing a new systeu: of bookkeeping pre? pared for use in all the dispensaries and ir would be ready to bc put io use [ by to-day. This system, lie says, wi ii enable the State to tell the amount a man falls behind in his accounts.

All have been watching with inter? est since the order of the Adjutant General was issued last week, pro? viding for the complete reorganiza? tion of the militia forces of the State under the new militia act, and making it incumbent for all the sus? pended militia companies to enlist, taking the oath prescribed and (tome back asking to be taken into the militia of the State, to see what the many companies which had been sus? pended would do under the circum? stances. The Sumter Light Infantry, which was not included in the order of sus? pension, by the way, has refused to enlist and will disband first, although it has not yet sent the Adjutant Gene? ral such notice. So far, the only companies included in the suspension order which have decided to re-enlist and see what the Adjutant General will do about receiving them into the i reorganized force, are the companies iu Charleston. The Columbia com panies have not yet taken any action. ? Gen. Watts yesterday said that he i did not intend to wait longer than : ten days more on any company in 1 the matter of the enlistment, and those which had not reported to him within that time need not do so, for ! they will have no chance whatever of having their application consid ered. The Governor's Guards will pro- ; bably consider the matter Monday night, if a quorum can be secured. In this connection, Gen. Watts yesterday issued the following self- ; explanatory order : General order No 3. It is the desire and intention of ; the Adjutant and Inspector General, j tn accordance with the request of the various cavalry companies, to finish the inspection of the cavalry at any early date, so as not to inter fere with farming operations and of all commands as early as possible, hoping that an early distribution of the appropriation can take place. All commands desiring to enlist in \ obedience to the terms of the <:act to revise and amend the militia laws ; of the State," must notify tin's office ' within thc next ten davs By order. J.

The next morning she found that her cold had almost entirely disappeared. Duriog the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teas doonful at time) and at night again took a tab espoonful before going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptoms of the cold. Since then she has, on several occasions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good results, and is much elated over uer discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold. For sale by Dr. A. J.
