They have determined as Jar as possible io take charge of ttie ballot box, and we innst detoat them by Meting to it. that every Democrat gels a registration ticket. Let the President of every local club feel it incumbent on him to look after this matter in his club, f need not tell you that Republicanism in the South moans corruption, endangers our hearthstones and our liberty, ami like a canker worm eats out the substance of our properly by enormous taxation and retards civilization. However, we may dider amongst ourselves as to the means thai will most promote our prosperity, and we have a right to dill'er among oui selves, still we will alter we have settled I hem in the parly, pi.11 as one man to attain success and overthrow our enemy. I.ct the spirit of ISTti again assort itself and 1 have no doubt success will crown our elfortu. Thanking you again for this honor, I now declare ihe Convention ready for business. John It. lilake was elected First Vice President. I. H. MeCalla. Second Vice President. Col. .1. T. Robertson, Third Vice President. A. >V. Jones, Secretary. T. A. iinilo'.tn. Treasurer. When T. P. Cothran, Ks<i., former secretary, and .Mr. A. W.Jones were put In nomination lor secretary, a dismission arose as to what constituted a constitutional vote, which was led hy ijr. David Aiken and participated in l?v S. C. Cation, Kh<j , J)r. MaxweJ1. and others. The chair ruled that it had heel) the habit for the delegates to vote the numerical strength of the dub?no matter how many delcgult's were present. Each delegate voted the numerical share of the total vote of his club. The tellers, Messrs. I. II. McCalla, S. C. Cason, ami .1. s. <{raves, retired to one of the jm;'v rooms to count the votes. They reported as tolii.ws: A. W..I..IU-S, 2.K4:i T. 1*. Colli rail irjo Total vote 3,7tjJ Pr, Maxwell -aid that he wasoutof politics, but ha thought it not amiss to ask attention lo the registration of voters now golnji on. So man who bad been convicted of certain crimes were eligible to registral ion. The Registrar can huv.e no Idea why bus been convict ,o(I, unless the information is furnMied. Kf! fort should bo made to .secure a list of all citizens who had been deprived of ttic right to register. i .Mr. W. II. l'arker thought that there had been legislative enactioent which required ( Trial Justices to furnish to' Use Clerk of the ! Court ii list of all persons who had been conj victed of crimes that fotfcited tlieir right to ! vote. | General Hempliill said some Trial Justices1 : ol former years aic now out of oilicc. iind the! j Democratic clubs could best find out from j j them who had been convicted usider their ad ; ministration, it being probable that they had not deposited their records in the Clerk's oflice when they went out of ollie.e. Mr. l'arker moved that the attention of the Clerk of the Court be called to the matter. Mr. 1. 11. McCalla introduced Ihc following resolution: Whereas, the Farmers Convention which] wsis held in (,'olumbiu, S.C., last March selected Capt II. It. Tillman as its choice for Governor, subject to the action ol the State bemoeratie Convention. Ami, whereas, it is the sense of this convention that Capt. H. It. Tillman is a man well suited lor the high and exalted otlice of Governor. Now therefore be it iiesolved, that we hea.uily endorse Capt. 1). It. Tillman for Uovernor of our State. .Mr. George C. Hodges said : Mr. President: Before you put the motion I desire to say that I did not intend to make a speech. Kul as no one will oppose it, I feel that I would be recreant to the trust Imposed on me, and untrue lo my own conscience and convictions If I did not raise my voice in objection. I believe that there is no necessity for undue haste about this matter. The body polltlc, like our natural bodies, Is often made sick by swallowing thing- too hastily. At this time 1 do not desire to criticise, or say auuht against Mr. Tillman. Indite time lie win nave an ne win ueur in uiui. line. uuu I am emphatically opposed to tlie adoption ol ilie resolution now. We iuivc just begun 1 lie campaign. We huve met to day simply to organize. There are yet ahead ot us four long, weary exciting months before the meeting ol the State nominating convention. We know not what other candidates, more acceptable to the Democracy of Abbeville county, or to the fanners, and to all classes ot our citl/.eus who are interested in good government economically udministered, may declare themselves, or be before the people. The Democracy of Abbeville county lias nothing to fear from a postponement of this resolution, in order to give a full, and free, and fair discussion of the merit and political principles of every candidate that seeks our indorsement, in my judgment tlie resolution is premature. We should wait a few months, discussing men and measures. If after a ittir hearing of ail the issues involved, and all the candidates before us, we see tit to endorse Mr. Tillman ior Governor, then let it be done. If the August Convention?the nominating convention of the State Democratic party? think best to declare Mr. Tillman the nominee of the party for the ottice ot Governor, I for one will support that'noininalion heartily,speeding time, and etlorinnd money for his election. I lake no stock in this independeiitism we hear spoken of. The nnin who does not support the nominee of the party, whoever lie be. deserves to ho spotted and watched. The wild and revolutionary methods and schemes of the Republican party, and the horde of black voters that at this time throng and press around the Supervisor s office out yonder admonish every true and tried Democrat that we need in our ranks peace and enthusiasm, and unanimity. Thegravest M iocfion hv nil nriilc thill, now fnnfrnnls lht* larmers, and ail professions unil vocations is, not the triumph of an Individual, but the ascend uncy ol' ilie Democratic party. Now, Mr. rresldcnt, I repeat that I think the resolution premature, and should not be adopted now. Let us rather deal generous with one auother in our UiO'erenct'H. make mutual concessions, unci spend our zeal In pacifying factions, and unifying the rank and Hie of the Democracy. I hope the resolution will not pass. After a somewhat heated discussion the resolution was adorned. The matter of primary election was talked ol lor awhile, but finally dropped out. Club adjourned. TheTllimanlt.es had everything theirown way. Es ery oilicer was elected on that Issue. Some were greatly elated at success over those whom their "organ" has so often termed the "eueruies" of the farmer. ABBEVILLE'S SON IN A FOREIGN LAND What lie Snn itml What lie Writes About. Nahi.ks, March :?!), lsyu. KJilor fVc:? tivd Banner: It-.!** it. il... I:iii,lf.flh/i"?nnnv Smilli" II .s a' CO-SJiL""! nl!!s, for South of the level valley <?:' tftir.L'.o stretches the Appenninc mountains from en<l to tujt a narrow strip of coast on each sideot thclV-' ninsular. It is on part of the Western eoust, in the Kivleradl Levante that Genoa lies,and it is to the sheltering hills on the North and the warm hree/.es froin the South that, along with the whole of thel.evante It i.s indebted for iIk mild climate. The Riviera of the Levanteextends from (Scnoa to Pisa, and atlords a ride of exceptional beauty to the railroad passenger. The road runs almost directly by the side ol the sea, and so narrow is the coast that oft the waves are splashing underneath while above tower mountains now clad with snow. The pleasure of the ride Is much detracted from by the fact that many tunnels have to be passed through, in which of course the scenery is entirely lost. Thirty-eight in all lie betw een the two cities and scarcely is one emerged from before another is entered. Pisa Is a quaint old town of some -lO.OOO inhabitants and perhaps as much as any town of Italy may be said to live upon Its antiquities. In fact to the average visitor the Leaning Tower is I'isn, and one is quite confirmed In tbi< impression when on reaching the station he Is confronted by a host of porters, cabmen, etc., each of whom is so importunate as scarcely to add to tlie pleasure of the exit. Although the tower is but a convenient walk removed from the station, it seems to be considered as a tax imposed upon every visitor that tie sum11 utilize a cao nnu uuu one more gain to the thousands who live upon the indirect proceeds of the Tower. And well worthy of its fame is it too.thin leaning tower ot I'isu, rising 175 feet high and seeming ready every moment to fall. The first view of it Is grand, and when one stands beneath and glances upward it is hard to conceive how such a structure could have stood 700 years. Hut llrm it lias stood and probably will stand for centuries, a monument to the fame of the bold builders who so built upon sand that the house still gland*. The top falls fifteen feet out of the perpendicular, but the centre of gravity is so skillfully adjusted that the tendency of the inclination is overcome, A winding staircase through the hollow shaft leads to the top and up it toils every virtuous pilgrim. Hut it Is not every one who has the heart for the ascent as I found from the experience of my companion. The view (rom the foot had so shook his faith In the stability oi the structure that much persuasion was re-j quired to spur him on to the venture. As. each step was mounted courage sank lower, and as we emerged upon the top ? sensation of thorough uiddiness overcame him. Nothing was left but an Ignominious i el urn, and as fate would have it it'l that moment the huge bells of the tower conimenctd to clang. The terior of the Wandering Jt w in his flight could scarcely have exceeded my friend's agony until his' foot once more rested on terra tlrma. The view from the top is line,especial1v tlinnnu'n ntmn f hn noitrlilini'iii'r tmllif1* drai and baptismal church which, like tiie tower, arc built entirely of white marble. Wishing to leave Home for our return during the Kanter week we passed almost directly on to Naples?a veritable mradise tit this season in the delights of its vlimate a d tinbeauty of the surroundings. No city ot Italy, except perhaps Venice, Ik so thoroughly original in Us life and scenes as Naples. The city itself is overcrowded, dirty and filled with the signs of poverty, but derives its beauty from the views which surround it on every side. The promenade of all wealthy Neapolitans, land resort of strangers, Is the lovely quarter I of the Villa Nationale, on the side ot the Gulf ?the "Battery" of Naples so to speak. Here j every aiternoon throngs the fashionable socil ety, most in elegant carriages, in which they J drive up and down, meeting acquaintances i and enjoying the unsurpassed view. In front lies the blue water of the bay famed over the world for the exquisite color derived from the peculiar richness ot the Naples sky. while to the left towers Vesuvius smoking | day and night, a constant menace to the villages at its loot, and lending a leeling of awe to the whole neighborhood. In the distance are seen the rocks of the Isle of Capri, and behind lies ilie town, hid by the high rocksof St. Klma, which guards tin* city from the side of the sea. The life in Naples is wonderfully interesting. In spite of the poverty and des I Million visil>i? on every side there is some-1 thins; so plcturesquc and unusual in nil that ! the eye is arrested on every point, liright coi|ors, (|iiainl costumes and Konthern aspect of all, give to the streets an appearance which never ceases to interest. Hut the population of Naples 's unrortu i nately sadly unworthy of the interest that they claim. Idle, worthless and untrustworthy the masses are content to live from day today priVing upon tlie ignorance or charity of each whom they may impose upon. The streets throng with beggars, and they are importunate to a degree scarcely conceivable. In contrast to the quiet of the idlers that sleet* and bask 111 the sun is the restless rush of the constant moving stream. The disregard for horse llesh is something almost incoiieeiviibli', and the pleasure of watehiui: the strict life is much detracted from by the cruelty which Is exhibited by the lower classes: towards their animals, m"st of which are] miserable and small beasts that scarcely du* j : serve the dignity of t|ie naiiic of Horse. Tne most intercstiii!: institution is Hie wonderlul museum. which besides a handsome picture yullery. contains a collection of antiquitie< from the ruins ol? l'ompeii and Ilerctilamuni, which Is unexcelled. One c..ti al-j most live in the past while viewing the relies of ilie old Unman days which have passed down to us so well preserve d from the invngcs of time. Here may he seen the very pictures and ornaments which adorned the habitations of the Ko.nans?the utensils that tiny usedeven the petrified remains of their very food stud's. Days would not sullice to even een>or-1 ily study all that is to be seen, and a fund is] here gathered for the benefit of history almost] unequalled.

The color.-; were mostly liri-.-liI and rJcli and tin; whole showed a lasie which (lives an idea <if th? cultivation and luxury, which existed timing the days ot the Kepub-' lie. From Naples this ascent of Ycsnsius?the preserver as well :rs destroyer may he easily made. F.very facility isal hand lor those who will make the cinnb with Ihc least exert ion and Inconvenience, lint for an enterprising waiker the trip involves neither expense or too great labor. In fact from the f"ot tw iand a half hours of ordinary walking suilice to reach the top. Hitt the clinth for most of the way has to lie made over llclds of lava ami ashes which at. hast does not make it easy, and we preferred to lake it somewhat more leisurely. Scrambling over immense blocks of hardened lava one moment, sinking deep in the soft ashy eat th (he next, we gradually reached the summit, liefore the top is attained it is necessary to pass through the clouds of sulphurous smoke which are usually blowing down to one side, as well as issuing in thousands of small cracks scattered over the sur ace. Man> of these little holes show considerable warmth, and a litt'e grabbling with a stick will always prep ire a bed for cook lug your eggs if they sire at band. As tile crater is nearcd mve and wonder begin to replace feelings oi curiosity. Kvery minii'c is occurring outbreaks of more or less violence and masses of molten lava is seen Hying into the air, falling to every side and threatening woe to him who stands too near. A favorite way of earning a few pence is thus offered to the numeious guides, etc., who are always at hand, who run forward and securing a small piece Impress a coin Into It while iii Its molten state, ami then lung before II is cooled,niter it loyou,usually at a price treble what they will accept gladly, licing desirous of securing my own pit-ce I waited lor a particularly senile outbreak and observing a piece fall lo some distance from the crater I ran forward to secure it. Scarcely had I placed my stick upon it, vvlicn an outbreak of more than usual violence sent, a ma<sol red hot stones into the air. It is not necessary to say that my retreat was more rapid th:>n my advance, and I waited only long enough to throw my pleco abend of me before I sought a safe distance. As we stood at n safedistunce an acquaintanceapp ared <*ho had been enterprising enough lo lug up his camera, and we gladly let ourselves be photographed with the smoking crater of Vesuvc at our backs. As we started down we heard a loud ri-port and looking back saw the air around tilled with blocks, some much larger than our beads. When we readied the foot tlie moon bad commenced to shine, and we enjoved an exquisite view of Vcsuve behind and Naples with its bay before us, while fur to one side lowered the rocks of Capri. At the foot of Vesuve lies Pompeii?the city of the deiid, restored in many respects as 11 was I .sow years ago. Not hing is more interesting than to walk the streets, paved as they were In days of old, and with the stones grooved by the wheels Hint ran through them and picture ilie life ilmt once animated them. Here stood a temple at whose shrine woishippers knelt and on whose altars sacrifices were made?there the theatre whose seats were lined by spectators probably even more pleasure seeking than their descendants of the present day?here the mansion of a Iaicreiius, whose banquet halls once resounded to laughter and mirth, and there again the tombs of Diomed to remind us that as life was the same so was death also. Not the least Interesting is the location of t lie scenes of Hnhver's navel, which derives an additional interest alter l'ornpeii Is viewed. The House of (ilaucus as selected by Hulwer is pointed out, as also tlie Villa of Dloined?both splendid specimens of Roman luxury In those days. The lord of the manor lacked little then that wealth could tilve, and enjoyed life with an rase truly I.nerctian. The remains of many of the houses of Pompeii show that the private houses were often oil a scale almost palatial. As is usually the case in Southern countries Ihe life was larecly In the open air and not the least handsome part of the dwellings were the open gardens and courts in the middle in which played fountains, and which were adorned with the handsomest statuary. Ilere Ihe family gathered and friends were receiveil, and the softness of the climate made a retreat to the Inner house but seldom nee*.usury. On this account the rooms, especially those fur sleeping, vere comparatively small and badly lighted, although adorned with beautiful frescoes and not lackitin In beauty. A visit to l'onipeil makes us feel that the world is not so much more blessed to-day than it was then. A. \V\ P. ? m ? *wm We have been compelled to duplicate our orders on great many lines of goods.
