Every perscn in Edgefield is folly cognizant of the great benefit, both educationally and commer cially, che South Carolina Educa tional Instituto has boen to this community. Time has disproved ' tho argument, advanced by some a few years ago, that an iD?titntioD of learning ia of no material bene fit to a town. Indeed some per sons now assert that their honest conviction and belief is that the S. C. C. I., has contributed more in the last five years toward the .rejuvenation of Edgefield then 8 half dozen cotton mills would have done. It behooves our citizens to make it of even greater beneiit. How can it be-dono, yon ask ? By be ing moro loyol to it; by urging young men and young women of our town to complete .the full course here before going away to pursue a special course ; by pre senting the many advantages of the college to thore wno reside in the rura) districts of our county, and, lastly, by souudiug its praises iu the earB of visitors and strangers who come among us and those whom we meet while away from home. L?t us remember that we are working not alone for the president of the institution but for the common good as well when we present the cause of the college. Everyone who has at heart the welfare of the school and our town (their interests being ins parable, for whatever is promotive of the good of one promotes also the good of the other) should feel a person al iuterest in making ?the next session by far 1 he greatest session in its history. Col. Bailey ' has already received more appli ' cations up to this date than for any like period in the history of i .the.institution.

Good morning Mr. Sheppard, when did you get home, and bow are you ? I reached home yesterday after noon, after a trip of two whole days during the whole of which time I - was confined to a single coach; and therefore when I got home I was practicably "inore dead than alive.'r It always fatigues meto ride on the cara; but I was literally worn out when I boarded the train Saturday mornin0. I sat up the entire night Friday night in attendance upon the Convention, which remained in session until nearly six o'clock Sat urday morning. At that time I left trie convention hall, went to my hotel, packed my baggage, and went direct to the depot . Tell me about the Convention. The Convention was great in a ; great many ways. It was great in the dimension of its hall; it was great in the size, and the patience, and the enthusiasm of its audience ; it was great in the number, charac ter and ability of its members; and it was great io the results accom plished. As to the ball, if you can imagine an immense oven, having a bottom at least the size of the pub lic square in our (own, with sides running up all the way around for ty feet, ?nd the entire bottom ard all the sides from the bottom to tr. top covered with men and women both on the sides and in the aisles as closely packed as men can sit or stand together, you will have some conception of the appearance of the Democratic Convention Hall. This immense audience, consist ing of between fourteen and fifteen thousand people, remaining in ses sion each day as long as the con vention sat; and the entire audi - ence remaining in session with the convention during the whole of Friday night. From firsc tb Jast the enthusiasm was unbounded and indescribable. No person can im agine what a magnificent display it was who did not enjoy tho pleasure pf seeing it. The Convention was great in its delegates; there were numerous United States Senators and Ex Senators; numerous Congressmen Rod Ex-Congressmen; numerous Governors and Ex-Governors; nu merous Judges and Ex-Judges; and numerous distinguished citizens from every State in the Union. To speak in detail of these numerous -distinguished representatives o f .theparty, would require more time than I have, and more space than 1 you have to spare. I do not believe that there has i been a gathering io the United States in many years composed of : a larger number of more able and i. patriotic men than were gathered I ? together in this convention. The i Convention was great in the results 1 accomplished. For some lime it . has been known that there was a ; decided difference of opinion among the representatives of the party as 1 to the best policy to be pursued. I These differences of opinion result- i ed largely from former political campaigns. You know that when Mr. Bryan wa? nominated io 1896, a " rge humber of Democrats declin Uo support/ him because of his financial policy; and this condition ; >reva?lod during bia second caudi lacy for the presidency. Representatives of both views ipon the financial quezon were )resent in the convention. These iifferent viewB were represented by ;he strongest men of the party; it vas regarded as almost hopeless :hat these different elements could igree either upon a platform or ipon a candidate. The committee on platform was lomposed of one delegate from iach State and territory; and these i?legates presumably coosisted of the strongest men in the parly. This Committee wrestled among themselves the entire night Thurs day night. The Committee went into session Thursday evening at seven o'cl< ck, and remained in con tinuous session until nearly dinner lime the next day. I was told that it was a stormy se.-sion; but it was gratifying, inex pressibly gratifying, to every mem ber of the convention, that this com mittee reported a platform that was signed by each and every mem ber of the committee. This was re garded as a great achievement. I wish I could take the time now to relate a .small portion ot what was told to me concerning the meet ing of this committee, and the effort that was made to reconcile the dif ferences that existed among these distiDguished men as to the bes? policy that the convention could pursue. Suffice it to say that the Committee finally reported a plat form which was adopted by the convention unanimously. Then came the nomination of a candidale for thc Presidency. Several gentle men were placed in nomination Judge Parker, of New York; Mr. Wall, of Wisconsin; Senator Cock rell, of Missouri; Mr. Hearst, of New York; Mr. Olney, of Massachu setts; Gen. Miles, of Massachusetts; Mr John Sharp Williams, of Missis sippi, and others. The enthusiasm of the audience manifested in the long continued cheering and applause, when Mr. Parker, Mr. Hearst and Mr. Coek rell were presented to the conven tion, surpassed anything of a simi lar kind that any member of the convention ever experienced be fore, tfnd can never be forgotten by any person who witnessed it. When Mr. Parker's name was pnsented, the applause upon th* floor and in the galleries was con tinued for more than a half hour, during the whole of which tim?' there was a scene in the convention hall that was simply indescribable. Upon the first ballot, Mr. Parker received six hundred and flfty-eitrht vote3, which was nine votes less than enough to Dominate; before the second billot was'ordered, del egates enough changed their votes to assure his nomination. What did you hear as lo Parker's chances of success? Immediately after the result, of the first ballot was announced, the nomination was made unanimous in the midst of unbounded enthusi asm; representatives of many States in the north, east and west spoke with much confidence of the success of the party in the cam paign; and it goes without saying that he will receive the vote of the solid South. . Mr. Bryan expressed the opinion that there was never a"time in the history of the country when it was more important for the welfare of the people at large to defeat a can didate, than it is now important to defeat Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan said that for many reasons Mr. Roosevelt was the u^ost dangerous man that was ever a candidate for the Presidency; and the whole con -uontinn nnd the-entire audience en dorsed vociferously thia dec2*rafciu?. ?n the space which you can ac cord to me, I cannot recount the reasons assigned why it is impor tant that Mr. Roosevelt should be defeated; and therefore I will be obliged to withhold my views upon that question until I shall enjoy the privilege at some time during this campaign of appearing at some of our meetings and discussing this matter before our people. How did this nomination suit the delegation from South Carolina? I am very much gratified to say that at the first meeting of our del egation I made a motion that on I the first ballot our delegation should vote solidly for Mr. Parker; and my motion was adopted, having re ceived the vote of every member of our delegation except three. Un der the unit rule under which we acted the vote of our delegation was cast solidly for Parker. Our delegation acted throughout, upon all matters which came be fore us, with the utmost harmony and unanimity. There was scarce ly a difference between us?t any time, upon any question. Senator Tillman was a very ear nest and valuable member of the Convention; he was on the com mittee ou Platform, and sat with the committee throughout the en tire night. He exerted himself con sistently, and persistently to recon cile the differences between the conflicting representatives on the committee, and I am sure contribu ted largely towards the adjustment of the differences, which resulted in a platform signed by every mem ber of the committee. I wish that I had lime to say more concerning the convention; but I have said enough lo give you a birds-eye-view of what transpired. Committees Edgefield Hussar's Picuicat Lanham Spring.
