Although the delegates, most of
tlnm at least, luiveto travel hundreds
and hundreds of miles, the convention
is uusually immense. Iu it
will he found representative men front,
every State and every section ' of-Abb
south bringing with them the pecu*
liar ideas of their section 011 politics,"
labor, and society as well as religion*
and denominatio nal work. Spffely
it would pay nnyo e of any denomination
to attend such a convention.

JOINT KX(7AMPMENT
Ol' Tlio Johnson and lVa
Hidj-v KitU's.
A member of the Johnson Hides
handed us the following communication
which we take pleasure in publishing:
Some time back at a meeting of
the Johnson I lilies a committee of five
was appointed to confer with the Pea
Kidge'Rifles and ask that a committee
from that Company he appointed
to discuss the advisability of having
a jojnt encampment of the Companies
during the Summer at some point
between Union and Kelton.
The V oa Ridiro Hides nromntlv
? 7v^ _ ? o i >
responded muL on Friday the J 2th
last, The co'mmittce^consisting of
Messprt Otts. liittiei'^elley, Haniand
Hancock of the Pea Ridge ltifles,
'and. Messn* Hunter, McGownn,
M,ullinaxand Hancock of tho Johnson
Rifles met in the office of W/n. Me
Gowan. Aftet* considerable "discussion
ii was resolved that the companies
50 into camp on Tuesday the dOth.
uly and break camp on Saturday
the 8rd day of August, continuing in
camp five days. This time was found
to be the most suitable from \he fact
that tin- gwjateryftimber of the lVa
Judge Rifles \vei*e fanners and tiicir
crops would he finished then, and the
encampment would be over before the
first Monday'in August when some
of the Officers of the Johnson Rifles
Svonld have to go to the 1 . S. ('our;
at Greenville.
The exact place tor holding the
encampment was u.>t decided upon

What S'ki!/ 'A c lh>?
Tlic number ol' <icliii.|tient polls in
tin; State allows | cruaps more clearly
.than anything else conM, the condition
of the poorer classes of the people
of the State. The number of delinquent
polls this year seems to be
much birovr lli;ni h-is boon kii iwn
iii several years. And this is the
state of affairs in the ace of tlie fnTrt
that the laws in re*. t d _*n-v
, , ' v J-** ? *
payment ot poll tax are mere ruiiugont
this year than ever before, flfc
the law is rigid*' en forced a.- it stands
on the statute b oiks, many a poor
fellow who cannot rai-e the ueecs.-arv
amount will have to spend a short
time in jail.
Just to give some idea of how many
[ delinquent poll taxpayers thft^v?re.
it may he mentioned that irwythe
county of Marlboro alone, the report
is sent up to the Comptroller General
that there are exactly 1.000 delinquents.
The trial justices there the
other day made requisition lot 100
poll tax warrant Id inks. Yesterday
they made reqitiA'tioii for 000 m >:e.
Instead of jetting just ?1.000
to the State tli.fe p<?l!s, if paid <ow
will net some ?~?.000. In Sumter
the condition is ev? n worse. J a that
county there are between I.OO't and
1,JOO (leliiiqiient p.o'.', taxpayers re- j
ported. The trial jii-tices there i...ve
written to tlu v. omntml.er sn " .Hi I
