JOHN. R. MATHIS
COUNTY CONVENTION.
What. It Did.
In pursuance of the call of the
County Kxeeutive Committee a convention
was hehl here last Monday
to discuss the host mode of bringing
in candidates for the Constitutional
Convention before the primary.
The convention was composed
of delegates sent up by the
tow nships.
Immediately after the sheriffs
sales the delegates assembled in the
court house. Mr. C. II. Peake, a>
cbarnianof the Democratic Kxccutivo
Committee called the meeting to order
and stated the object of the
meeting. Mr. .1. \Y. Cregory was
then called to the chair as temporary
chairman and Mr. -J. M. lirecr was
elected temporary secretary. Hol 1
of delegates was called and eighty one
found to be present. The temporary
ollicers were elected as permanent
ollicers of the convention ?
On motion of Mr. U. Walton W hitman
the chair appointed a committee
oil resolutions consisting of one
from each township, whose duty it
was to hear and consider any resolutions
that might be submitted to them
and to submit to the convention with .
tlnfir endorsement such rcs? lutions as
tlnjy might approve. The committee i
then retired to hear resolutions, i
?Mt \r,. u ...
j ro was called on lor a speech. Alter t
| tha.nking the convention and expressing
his surprise at being called
on Mr. Munro proceeded to address i
the convention, lie said that he was ;
glad to see that good l'eeling was in j i
a great measure restored between j i
th< j factions*, that there was not so j i
111 u jli dividing us alter all and that 1
he bought if we eould have an e.|ital > |
division of delegates to the eoliven? I i
n , 1
tioi , the elu.-in whieh was oiiee broad 1 i
but now nnieli ie--. eould be almost . !
if 'Jiot entirely obliterated. That j theire
were differences of opinions. | ,
but he, as a conservative was holiest i 1
in Vis, and be gave the reformers j i
em.it for being honest in theirs. <
That these petty differences of opin- i
lotiSishoiibl have no weight in choas- \
ing 'delegates to a Constitutional t
Convention. Tlu.t a Constitution
was pot like a transitory statute tlsat !

plYllUlCy lie said that lie wa- -lire he \
could speak lor the Conservative*. s
that they w ere just as mueh in favor \
of it, and would do just as mueh to i
insure it as the llcfonners. a
Mr. i 11 i:i 111 A. Nieholson said ho t
would like to hear all e\pres>ioti <
| IVotn the Conservative faction a* to t
| whether they would eoine into the t
1 primary and go heloro the people \
and ahido the result.
Mr. Munro said that if this was
done the Conservatives would not
stand the gh'>i of a show, that the
Uel'oi mors were well known to he in
a laru;e 'Majority, lie thought the (
convention should name the ticket
now, giving t\\(? to each faction, and (
he had no doiiht the people would
support such a ticket. I
Mr. Nicholson said that he (
thought the proper way was for the \
Conservatives to conic into the pri

The Attorney tiviiernl is about to J
take legal proceedings to stop the J
running of Sunday excursion trains <4
and the otVering of the cheap Sunday
excursion tickets by railroads doing
business in this State.
It seems that the laws of the State
forbid the running of special exeur- t
sion trains on Sunday, or of any .
train other than a regular mail train.
It is also claimed by the State au- ^
thorities that the railroads have no k
right to otVer a special round trip *
Sunday excursion rate. Attorney 1
tieneral llarher says his attention 11
has been called to this matter, and ^
he would have taken it up last week ^
had he not been obliged to go to 1
, o O ?,
Washington, lie savs that he now '
intends to proceed at once to biing
the matter u|) and have the laws coin- ,
plied w itil.
It is generally conceded that the v
State has a right to prevent the run- ,
ning ol special excursion trains on
Sunday ot: roads running only in
this State, hut it is thought that ~
the State will have some ditlieulty in I
stopping the sale of eh cup round trip '
tiekets <>n Sundays. It is also doubted
if tiie running of special trains from
this State into another State can he h
stopped. e
