The Presbyterian General As
tefnbly convened in Greenville
Thursday. This is the third meet
ng of the body in South Carotin*.
It met in Columbia in
T03 and in Charleston in 1880.
The most important matter to
!>? considered at the present sesiiou
is the proposition to estab
ti'di a. union ot all branches of
she I'resbvterian faith.
The reunion of Confederate
Tt'.lerans in Columbia this week
*?.? decidedly one of the most
pleasurable featherings the galtaiit
old soldiers have ever held.
vnousanas were there and the
hispitality of the capital city
ktiew no bounds. The exercises
the veterans' association were
hold in a large tent erected for
ihe purpose. Many excellent
apeeches were made. One of the
koftt and most eloquent addresses
delivered was that ol Mrs. K. G.
Glenn, of Asheville, formerly
M i.-s Elizabeth Lumpkin, ol Columbia,
who has spoken at a
number of reunion* in this and
other state*

ft.vn if<?r Bailey with renponsibili?\
for the failure of Senator Till

:i d common ground on the railroad
rate bill. Mr. Bailey expr'est-od
the belief that the false
rtji >rt emanated from the White
House. Senator Til I man made n
anecch in support of the Texas
statesman. He declared tiiat lie
had never been suspicious of Mr
Baile.V. He also presented a
tun her statement irom former
Senator Chandler, reaffirming the
*mtement previously made to
Senator Tillman, heretofore reft'red
to in these columns.
STATE CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings ot the Mat"
democratic convention, held in
Columbia Wednesday, were
characterized by the utmost harmony.
Following the exahiple
of the Lancaster convention, the
dispensary was not even mentioned.
The platform adopted
relates to national issues. It
tavors a revision of the present
tariff and demands a rigid enforcement
o' alt laws against,
rusts and combines. Resolutions
were passed commending Senator
Tillman and endorsing Gov.
for Congress, solicitor and state
officers.
After the convention adjourned
the state executive committee
met and organized. Col. Wilie
Jones was reelected chairman.
The committee decided to order
the campaign meetings to begin
June 19th. Col T. Y. Williams,
Lancaster's member of the committee,
was present at the meeting.
CHOOSING MEN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.
As this is election year we
take oe.en.sion now to tirr?e norm
- ~ W-- "I'""
(he voters (ho very great irapor
tance of exercising care and
good judgment in selecting men
to fill all public offices, Irom
congressmen down to magistral
es. No m m should be voted lor
because lie i? a "good, clever
lei low, or on account of personal
friendship, neighb >rly associa*
j tion or business obligation; but let
I lie test be as to bis character and
i his competency to till the office to
| which he aspires. A public official
should be a man of clean,
I moral character and posessed of
every qualification lor the pro!
per discharge ol the duties incumI
bent upon him.
' Oi cource the best material ai
vailable will not in every instanj
ce be t-elr c?ed n the people themI
selves do not do their dutv, and
I
j on I Ins point we commend the
j Pillowing to the consideration of
our reader-, taken from the NewI
I jerry Observer:
The lack ot interest shown in
the reorganization of the demo
cratic clubs is deplorab'e It the
people take such little interest
in political affairs it is not to be
wondered at that the wrong kind j
of men get into otfice. We need
to have a general awakening as
to the importance of politic d
duty on the part of the citizen.
The above is clipped from an
exchange?we think the Anderson
Mail, it is good doctrine and
'sound sense and needs to be repeated
again and again.
The man who will kick the
hardest abouf ' the kind of men"
who are elected to office is the
man who stays at home on club
da} s and election days and dco

>!i constitution and by-laws. Mr
.1. S. Wilson, of Lancaster, was
elected ser-reant-at arms.
The constitution was amended
so aR to do away with two state
campaign meetings in each
county in years when a United
States senator is to be nominated.
The convention decided that
hereafter no assessment can be
levied by counties on candidates
no' use his influence or his vote
o try to help gel o'her kinds ol
men. He has no right to complain,
but i9 the one who coin
plams the loudest.
That sort of cit'zen very foolish
!y regard< it a virtue to stand
al"of. lie is sometimes heard 'o
boast that he "lakes no part in
poliiics." He has been known
to come very near tli inking the
Lord ihat he is not as other men.
Bill it is no'hing to be proud
of. I? is downright neglect ot a
s iced du'y. No man is a good
cit'zen who does not do soul"
thing toward securing good government
and capable and filthful
officials.
To take an interest, in politics
is not to be a politician in the
commonly a^cep'el meaning of
that term One cm and should
lane prrt in the politics of his
atate and county and city 'hough
lie has not 'lie remotest idea ol
over standing loroflice. To stand
aside and leave politics to the
politicians is to play into the!
hands ot demagogues and ofliceseekers
ol the worst type.
That is one result ot so many
citizens taking no part in politics.
Another is it brings politics
into disrepute and discourages
good and suitable men from I
standing for ofliee.
Every consideration of patriot j
ism appeals to citizens to exer j
cise their rights of citizenship
and to do all they can in a legitimate
way to put good me 11 in
office.
