GOOD-BYE.
Kiss me and say good-bye;
Good-bye; th?re is no word to say but
this,
Kor any lips left for my lips to kiss,
Kor any tears to shed when these tears
dry;
Ki3s me and say good-bye.
Farewell, be glad, forget;
There is no need to say "forget" 1 know,
For youth is youth, and time will have
it so,
And though yon lips are pale ana your
eyes wet,
Farewell, you must forget.
You shall bring home your sheaves.
Many and heavy, ana with blossoms
twined
Of memories that go not out of mind;
Let this one sheaf be twined with poppy
leaves,
"When you bring home your 3heaves.
In garnered loves of thine,
The ripe good fruit of many hearts and
year3,
Somewhere let this lie gray and salt
with tears.
It grew too near the sea wind, and the
brine
Of life, this love of mine.
This sheaf was spoiled In spring,
And over-long was green and early sere,
And never gathered hold in the late
year
From autumn 3uns, and moons of harvesting,
But failed in frosts of spring.
Yet was it thine, my sweet,
This love, though weak as young com
withered,
Whereof no man may gather and make
bread.
Thine, tnough it never knew the summer
heat;
Forget not quite, my sweet.
OCTOBER THOUGHTSDr.
Talm?g;e Finds a Lesson In tbe migrant
Blids.
Brooklyn. Oct. 21.?Rev. Dr. Talmage,
who has left India and i3 now on
his homeword journey, has selected as
the subject tor his sermon today
through the press "October Thoughts."
his text being Jeremiah, viii, 7, "The
stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed
times, and the turtle, and the
crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming, but my people
know not the judgment of the Lord."
When God-would set fast a beautiful
"* "* 1 1 :4> * a I?A/V
UQOUgnt, ne piauus iu iu ante. ??uc~
lie would put it afloat, he fashions it in
to a fish. When he would have it glide
the air, he moulds it into a bird. My
text speaks of four birds of beautiful
instinct?the stork, of such strong affection
that it is allowed familiarity to j
come ill Holland and Germany and
build its nest over the doorway; the
sweet disposltioned turtledove, mingling
in color white and black and
brown ana ashen and chestnut; the
crane, with voice like the clang of a j
trumpet; the swallow, swift as a dart
shot oat of the bow of heaven, falling,!
mounting, skimming, saiiiDg?four
birds started by the prophet 25 centuries
ago, yet kying on through the ages
with rousing truth under glossy wing
and in the clutch of stout claw. I!
suppose it may have been this very
season of the year?autumn--and the
prophet out of doors, thinking of the
impenitence of the people of his day,
hears a great cry overhead.
JSow, you know it is no easy thing for i
one with ordinary delicacy of eyesibgt
to look into the deep blue of noonday
heaveD, but the prophst looks up, and
there are flocks of storks and turtledoves
and cranes and swallows drawn
^ out in long lines for flight southward.
I As is their habit, the cranes had arranged
themselves in two lines, mak- j
ing an angle, a wedge, splitting the air
with wild velocity, the oli crane, with
commanding call, bidding them onward j
while the towns, and the cities, and the i
continents slid under them. The prophet,
almost blinded from looking into
dazzling heavens, stoops down and begins
to think how much superior the
birds are in sagacity about their sa'ety
than men about theirs, and he puts his
hand upon the pen and begins to write,
"The stork in the heaven knoweth her
appointed times, and the turtle, and
the crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming, bat my people
know not the judgment of the Lord."
If you were in the field today, in the
clump of trees at the corner of the field
you would see a convention of birds,
noisy as the American congress the
last night before adjournment or as the
British parliament when some unfortunate
member proposes more economy
in the queen's household?a convention
of birds all talking at once, moving and
passing resolutions on the subject of
migration, some proposing to go tomorrow,
some moving that they go today,
but all unanimous in the fact
that they must go soon, for they have
marching orders from the Lord written
on the first white sheet cf the frost and
and in the pictorial of the changing
leaves.
There is not a belted kingti3her, or a
chaffinch, cr a fire crested wren, or a
plover, or a red legged patridge but expects
to spend the" winter at the south,
for the apartments have already been
ordered for them in South America or
in Africa, and after thousands of miles
of flight they will stop in the very tree
where they spent last January. Farewell,
bright plumage! Until spriDg

heavenly musicians! Strew the continent
with music, and whether from
Ceylon isle or Carolinian swamps or
Brazilian groves men see your wings or
hear your voice may they yet bethink
themselves of the solemn words of the
text, "The stork in the heaven knoweth
her appointed times, and the turtle, and
the crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming, but my people
know not the judgment of the Lord."
I propose, so far as God may help me,
in this sermoD, carrying out the idea of
the text, to show that the birds of the
air have more sagacity than men. And
I begin by particularizing and saying
that they mingle music with their
work: The most serious undertaking
of a bird's life is thi3 annual llight
southward. Naturalists tell us that
they arrive thin and weary and plumage
rufled, and yet they go singing all
the way?the ground th8 lower line of
the music, the sky the upper line of the
music, themselves the notes scattered
up anci down between. I suppose the
song gives elasticity to their winz and
helps on with the journey, dwiDdiing
1,000 mile3 into 400. Would God that
we were as wise as they in mingling
Christian sonar with our everyday work!
I believe there is sueh a thing as" taking
the pitch of Christian devotion in the
morning and keeping it all the day. I
think we might take some of the dullest,
heaviest, most disagreeable wcrk
of our life and set it to the tune of "Antioch"
or "Mount Pisgah."
It is a good sign when you hear s
workman whistle. It is a better sign
when you hear him hum a roundelay.
It is still a better sign when you he'ai
him sing the words of Isaac VY atts 01
Charles Wesley. A violin chcrded and
strung, if something accidental!}
strike it, makes music, and I suppose
there is such a thing as having oui
' hearts so sttuned by divine grace thai
even the rough collisions of life will
make a heavenly vibration. I do not
believe that the power of Christiar
song has yet been fully tried. I believe
that if you could rcii the "Old Hun
dred" doxology through the street il
wouid put aa enu to any panic. j. ue
lieve that the discords, and the sorrows
aad the sins of the world are to hi
swept out by heaven born hallelujahs
Someone askedIlaydD, the ceiebratec
musician, why he alwajs composec
such cheerful music, "Why." he said
"I can't do otherwise. "When I thinfc
of God, my soul is so lull of joy thai
the notes leap and dance from my pen.'
I wish we might all exult melodious!]
before the Lord. "With God for ou:

future companions and eternity for a
lifetime, we should strike all the notes
of joy. Going through the wilderness
of this world let us remember that we
are on the way to the summery clime
of heaven and from the migratory populations
ilyicg through this autumnal
air learn always to keep singing:
Children of the heavenly king.
As ye journey sweetly sing.
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious m his works and way3.
Ye are traveling home to God
la the way cur fathers trcd.
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shell see.
The Church of God never will he a
j triumphant church until it becomes a

the air are wiser than we in the fact
that in their migraiton they fly very
high. During the summer when they
are in the fields they often come within
reach of the gun, but when they start
for the annual flight southward they
take their places miaaeaven and go
straight as a mark. The longest rifle
that was ever brought to shoulder cannot
reach them. Wo aid to God that
we were as wise as the stork and crane
in our flight heavenward. We fly so
low that we are in easy range
of the worid, the flesh and the
devil. We are brought down by temptations
that ought net to come within
a mile of reaching us. Ob, for some of
the faith of George Muiler of Eaglacd
and Alfred Goodman, once of the
church militant, now of the dhurch
triumphant. So poor is the type of
piety in the church of God now that
men actually caricature the idea that
there is any such thing as a higher life.
Moles never did believe in eagles. But
my brethren, because we have not
reached these heights oureelves, shall
we deride the fact that there are any
such heights? A man was once talking
to Brunei, the famous engineer,
about the length of the railroad from
London to Bristol. The engineer said:
"It is not very great. We shall have
after awhile a steamer running from
England to New York." They laughed
him to scorn, but we have gone so far
now that we have ceased to laugh at
anything as impossible for human
achievement. Then, I ask, is anything
impossible for the Lord ? I do not believe
that God exhausted all his grace
in Paul and Latimer and Edward Payson.
I belieee that there are higher
poiots of Christian attainment to be
reached in the future ages of the Christian
world. You tell me that Paul
nn t-n fha Hnfnn of fhft A Ins of
V> Cil \i uy CV/ l/uv vij^w^ va waav ?f ? ? Christian
attainments. Then I tell you
that the stork and the crane have
found above the Alp3 plenty of room
for free flying.
We go out, and we conquer our temptations
by the grace or God and lie
down. On the morrow those temptations
rally themselves and attack us,
and by the grace of God we defeat them
again, but staying all the titne in the
old encampment we have the old battles
to fight over. Why not whip out
our temptations and then forward
march, making one raid through the
enemy's country, stopping not until we
break ranks after the last victory. Do,
my brethren, let us have some novelty
of combat at any rate by changing, by
going on, by making advancement,
trading off cur stale prayers about sins
we ought to have quit long ago, goiDg
on toward a higher state of Christian
character and routing out sins that we
have never thought of yet. The fact is
if the church of God; if we as individuals
made rapid advancement in the
Christian life,:these stereotyped prayers
we have been making for 10 or 15 years
would b9 as inappropriate to us a3 the
shoes, and the hats, and the coats we
wore 10 or 15 years ago. Oh, for a
higher flight In the Christian life, the
stork and the crane in their migration
teaching us the lesson!
Dear Lord, and shall we ever live,
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?

air are wi3er than we, because they
know when to start. If you should go
out dow and shout, "Stop, storks and
cranes, don't be in a hurry!" they would
say: "Xo, we cannot stop. Last night
we heard the roaring in the woods bidding
us away, and the shrill flute of the
north wind has sounded the retreat
We must go. We must go." So they
gather themselves into companies, and
turning not aside for storm or mountain
top or shock of musketry, over land,
sea, straight as an arrow to the mark,
they go. And if you come out this
morning with a.?ack of corn and throw
it in the fields and try to get them to
stop they would hadly see it. They are
on their W3y south. You could not
stop them.
Oh, that we were as wise about the
best time to start for God and heaven.
We say: "Wait until it is a little later
in the season of mercy. Wait until
some of these green leaves of hope are
all dried up and have been scattered.
Wait until next year." After awhile
we start, and it is too late, and we perish
in the way when God's wrath is kindled
but a little. There are, you know, exceptional
cases, where birds have started
too late, and in the morning you have
found them dead on the sno'w. And
there sre those who have perished halt
way between,the world and Christ.
They waited until the last sickness,
when the mind was gone, or they were
on the express tram~ going at 40 miles
an hour, and they came to the bridge,
and the "draw was up," and they went
down. How long to repent aDd pray V
Two seconds! To do the work of a
lifetime and to prepare for the past
eternity in two seconds! I was reading
of an entertainment given in a king's
court, and there were musicians there,
with'elaborate pieces of music. After
awhile Mozart came and began to play,
and he had a blans piece of paper before
him, and the king familiarly looked
over his shoulder and said- "What
are|you playing ? I see no music be1
fore you." And Mozart put his hand

him; but, ob, my friends, we cannot ex'
temporize heaven. If we do not gel
prepared in this world, we will neve:
take part in the orchestrai harmonies
of the saved. Oh, that we were as wist
as the crane and the stork, living away,
flying away from the tempest!
> Some of you have felt the pinching
i frost of sin. You feel it today. You
i are not happy. I look into your faces
. and 1 know you are not happy. There
: are voices within your soul that wil]
; not'be silenced, telling you that you are
: sinners and that without the pardon 01
! of God ycu are undone forever. Wha!
; are ycu going to do, my friends, witt
s the accumulated transgressions of thii

the avalanche tumble over you? Oh

heart of God's mercy. The southerr

i as God has waited for you, saying:
have loved thea with an everlasting
love. Come unto me, all ye who ar<

it is the frost of sorrow. Where d<

t back through that last sickness anc
- through the almost supernatuarl effor
, to keep life, and through these prayer:
i that seemed unavailing, and througi
. that kiss which received no responsi
I because the lips were lifeless, and 1 hea
i the bells toiling and I hear the hearts
. breaking?while I speak I hear then
: break. A heart! Another heart! Alone
t alone, alone! This world, which ii
' your girlhood and boyhood was sun
7 shine. Is cold now, and,oh, weary doy
r you ily around this world as though yoi
i would like to stay, when the wind, au(
r the frost, and the blackening cloud
would lid you away into the heart
of an ail comforting: God. Oh, I have
noticed again and again what a botch
this world make3 of it when It tries to
comfort a soul in trouble! It says,
"Don't cry!" IIow can we help crying
when the heart treasures are scattered,
and father i3gcne, and mother is goDe,
and companions are, gone, and the child
i3 gone,"and everything seent3 gone?
It is no comfort to tell a man no, to
cry. The world comes up and says
"Oh, it is only the body of your loved
ohe that you have put in the ground."
But there is no comfort in that. That
body is precious. Shall we never put
/-.nr. VionH in thur hand strain, and shall
we never see that sweet face again?
Away with your heartle3sness, 0 world!
Eat come, Jesus, and tell us that when
the tears fall they fall Into God's bottle,
that the dear bodies of our loved
one shall rise radiant in the resurrection,
and all the breakings down here
shall be lifting up there, and "they shall
hunger no more, neither thirst any
more, neither shall the sun light on
them nor any hea% for the lamb which
is in the midst of the throne shall lead
them to living fountains of water, and
God shall wipe ail tears from their eyes."
You may have noticed that when the
chafliQCb, or the stork, or the crane
starts on its migration it calls all those
of its kind to come too. The tree tops
are full of chirp and whistle and carol
and the long roll call. The bird does
not start off alone. It gathers all of
its kind. Oh, that you might be a3
wise in this migration to heaven and
that you gather^all your families and
vour friends with you! I would that
Hannah might take Samuel by the
hand, and Abraham might take Isaac,
and Kagar might take Ishmael. I ask
you if those who sat at your breakfast
table this morning will sit with you in
heaven? I ask you what influences
you are trying to bring upon them
?what example you are setting them.
Are you galling them to go with
you ? Aye, aye, have you started yourself?
Start for heaven and take your children
with you. Corns thou and all thy
house into the ark. Tell your little
ones that there are realms of balm
ani sweetness for all those who
fly in the right dlrectioa. Swifter
than eagle's stroke put out for
heaven. Like the crane or the stork,
I stop not night nor day until you Lind
the right place for stopping. Seated
today in Christian service, will you be
seated ia the same glorious service
when the heavens have passed away
with a great noise, and the elements
have melted with fervent heat, and the
redeemed are gathered around the
throne of Jesus?
The Saviour calls.
Ye wanderers come.
Oh, ye benighted souls
Why longer roa?u?
The spirit calls today.
Yield to his power.
Oh, grieve him not away,
'lis mercy's hour.
Too 51ach for Him,
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 24.?Harrison
Smith, a negro laborer who worked for
W. H. & W. B. Brigham, and who
lived Id Summeiviile, committed suicide.
He shot himself twice with an
old British bull-dog pistol once in the
breast and once through the heart. He
was found dead about 4 o'clock last
afternoon by a party of boys who were
out hunting in the woods in the valley
at the foot of Monte Sano, and in the
rear of the Exposition grounds near
the street car line. He was lying on
the ground on his back in a pool of his
own blood and the pistol which had
done the work was tightly clasped in
his right hand. In his pocket was
found a razor, and from his having
been so well armed it is believed he
- - - ? * L i 1- J A
bad thoroughly maue up uis uniiu ?uu
was determined to end" his existence.
Harrison's troubles were of a domestic
nature. He was the father of a
large family who were entirely dependent
upon bis labor for a support. His
house was encumbered, and what made
matters worse and caused him to become
despondent and lead him to commit
the fash act was the present of
twins hi3 wife made him on Sunday
which incieased the count of his children
from eleven to the unlucky number
of thirteen. The large and sudden
addition to his family broke Harrison
up completely, and after meditating
and soliloquizing he concluded life was
a ourden and that the responsibilities
were greater than he could bear and
decided to shake off the mortal coil.
After dinner, while returning to work
down the lonely road, Harrison concluded
the time had come to destroy
himself, and he walked into the woods
and after finding a quiet and secluded
spot under tha shade of the pines he
laid himself down on the grass, pulled
his little gun out of his pocket, placed
it to his breast and after closing his
eyes pulled the trigger.
Not having been killed instantly he
imagined the bullet had missed the vital
parts, he located his heart by running
his fingers over his breast until he
struck the spot where the throbs of the
organ of life were felt palpitating, and
there he placed his pistol and fired the
second shot, which put his lights out.
nf nPOTfiAH WPrfi of the ODin
ica that Harrison had been murdered,
but there was no reason for that theory
and it is believed that he intentionally
did it ail by his lone self. The body was
afterwards removed to the negro
church nearby, where it will be kept
until after Coroner May holds an in1
quest at 10 o'clock this morning.
Tremendous Prarle Fire
Omaiia, Neb., Oct. 26.?Lashed on
; by a furious wind the prairie fires that
are now raging in the northwestern
1 part of the State are travelling with
; almost ilghtingradidity and consuming
everything in their track. Last night
the blaze was driven through the central
' portion of Sheridan and Cherry coun;
ties and in its track were the big
' Osborne and Spade ranches and a num"
ber of smaller ones. This morning not
L a vestige of these ranches remains,
[ except the bare and scorched ground.
Late this afternoon the fire is reported
to have reached Tollman, and the
whole country in that neighborhood is
a raging furnace.
5 It is not known whether any lives are
' lost or not, but thousands 01 -neaa 01
? cattle have perished. People in the
tract of the fire are fleeing for their
> lives, and leaving all the property to
1 the mercy of the flames.
> At Ilomingford John Bliss, one of
1 the men badly burned while fighting
| the demon, is reported as dead and
' others of the victims dyirig. So far as
I can be learned the flames have not
J jumped the Freemon Elhorn and Mis1
souri valley Black Hill tracks but it is
' feared they may at any time. Little or
0 no damage has been done as yet to rall'
road property on this line. The Bur1
lington railroad, as yet, reports no
j damage.
1 The blaze is supposed to have been
* set by a drunken man near Mullin but
L this is not authentic. So far the flames
have traversed a stretch of country
3 over 200 miles in length and seventy
3 miles wide. The last report is from
ilecla where considerable damage was
" done. At this place :he wind turned
) so^fh, driving the flames to an, as yet,
3 unvisited country.

but one ticket in the field, and there is
no reason why the white voters of South

Last Saturday we had a short talk
with Judge J. S. Cothran, of Abbeville,
at our depot, and found him one of the
fairest men we have ever met. Judge
Cothran is a thoroughbred South Carolinian,
and a man, too, whom our whole
people lovd and honor. He voluntarily
resigned two of the highest offices in the
gift of his people; and during the political
excitement that has racked our
Scats the past four yesrs, has done
naught to fan the flames of factional animosity;
and neither has he dencuQced
the administration, cr advocated rebellion
8gainst our laws. In speaking of
the political situation, Judge Cothran
said that he believed agitation tended to
improve and purify public affairs; that
for four days he had been arguing a mill
pond case down in Union, and knew all
about stagnant water. And he was as
much opposed to stagnation in politics
as he was in mill ponds. Judge Cothran
then went on to say that he believed
a man could support the Alliance demands
and be as good a Democrat a3 if
he stood upon the Chicago platform
with both feet; that this is a free country,
and every voter has the right to
think as his judgment dictates; but it is
demanded of him to support the nominees
of hia party when they are made.
Judge Cothran then went on to say the
Democratic party would be a mo3t ty- <
rannical orgamz Ulon if it required a man
to think just as certain leaders dictated,
aud he was denied the freedom
of Lis own opinion. But, of
course, when our party meet3 la
[ convention, and formulates a platform
i and set of principles, it then becomes
; the duty of every member to yield obedience
to those principles, and support
the nominees, whether they suit his
view3 or not, la speaking of the constitutional
convention, Judge Cothran
said that our State constitutions were
too extended, and in many of them i;
was endeavored to legislate, instead of
simply framing organic laws. He hand,
ed us the following arl'c'e from the pen
of Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, and
which he says embodies hia principles:
Ex-Governor Rassell of Massachusetts
in his address before the Yale Law
School, has said some exceedingly appropriate
things as to what a constitution
should be and as to what a constitution
should not hi. The constitution
of the United Staces, it is needless to
say, is a constitution as it should be:
"In less than thirty word3," says Gov.
Russell, "it created our whole national
judicial system." By eight words it
established our admiralty and maritime
jurisdiction, which, "by magnificent judicial
evolution," has broadened the
original Eagllsh idea, until jurisdiction
extends "from the ebb and flow of the
- * i
tiae so as to cover every league ui uavigable
water within our continental domain."
The system of "comprehensive
general principles and broad powers,
sufficiently elastic to allow of expansion
by proper construction, yet sufficiently
distinct to be effective and
protective, has stood the test of more
than a hundred years, ha3 carried us
through foreign wars and civil conflict,
has adequately met a phenomenal increase
ot population, wealth, and area
with its new and momentous questions,
has skilfully adjusted tne deiicate relations
between state and nation, and
governed as efficiently 70,000,000 of
people scattered through forty-four states
reaching from ocean to ocean, a3 the
small population of the narrow coast
lioe which embraced Its th:rkeen original
constituents." Substantially every recent
constitution f.amed in a southern
or western state is manifestly, in Gov.
Russell's opinion, what a constitution
should not be. The masterful po^erof
enunciating great principles in few words
certainly seems to have passed away.
As far back as 1848, the "constitution
of Illinois increased m volume in the ra1'
* ~ ^ ? "--Ui. * ^ aUK J) ,'r* 1 QT*"v t Vt
LIU Ui Cil^LU W CmLITO'jL, ILl 1UIV,
constitution of Missouri "in the ratio of
eleven to tbirty-one;" In 1891, the constitution
of Mississippi became "almost
a code of laws" containing two hundred
and eighty-live sections. There is no
administrative detail too petty fur the
constitutional delegate to try hi3 hand
at; and the controlling id?a ol our little
constitution makers manifestly h that
when they get?chance to manage milters,
they must tlx tb?m to * u t theiuselvrs
and t;u3t nobody a not tne leglsla
ture, not tne juliciary, not even the people
whom they extol as the fountain of
poalica! wisdom. la one of the new
spates there are nineiv prohibitions
"upon the legislature in ihs single matter
of special legislation;" m another,
the constitution "even fixes the time
wilhiu which a judge must render his
decision;" in North Dakota, it requires
the supreme court of the 3late to ao the
work cf the reporter, "to prepare a syllabus
of the points adjudicated !a each
case." The primary purpose of a constitution
is to create and detlne a government;
its next is to secure personal and
polit cal rghts and establish a few of the
great and fundamental prnciples of
, government. To these may be added
certain restrictions upon the admloistra- t
live forces of government?the legisla- c
tive; executive and judicial, But such f<
restrictions must ex-.end no further than
these administrative agenc:es; that is, s
they must not bind lbs principal, the s
body politx. The convention for the
better security of the people may tell j,
iuture legislatures how the7 must work n
but not what they must do. Governor c
Russell rightly argues that these later j,
3tate constitut;ous ars evidences of dis- c
Lrust. They show that society in those t,
states dees not trust itself in the selec- a
tion of its own legislative repreeeota- v
tives; that the people though thoy do not j
3ay to a king "Come and rule over us," c
does say to a convention, "Come and v
take care of us; we have weakened; we
nave not the power of self-government v
which our fathers had." It is not un- 0
ikely that.some future historian after a v
:areiui siuay oi our m u;ru Hiaio wusu- ^
;utions will philosophically formulate as c
i law of political sciences, "The longer c
i constitution the weaker the people and a
.he more corrupt the community."? p

This is a tree couatrv, and when the p
"ght is denied any man to differ with v
>thers, tre would-be leaders who at g
;empt such a gag rule will find them- 8
selves badly lett. Why, certain politi- n
nans and newspapers are now trying lo ^
ule every mau out ol the reform party r(
,hat does tot support a constitutional p
invention. Weil, it is our impression 'n
.hat when the experiment is tried these p
Kses will find they have bitten cfl more
,han thevcan well chew. When a free- r,
xsrn American citizen is asked to stran- p
lie his own view3 aDd support a measure C)
ust because our "leaders" so advise, a
le will go moit too far. Now, let us v
lee how this constitutional convention v
,akes m South Carolina: The Lexmg- tl
.on Dispatch, one of the ablest reform
lapers in our State, and that ha3 done j
rreat work for the movement, has taken
i decided stand against a convention, mless
submitted to the people. The j
iTorkville Yeoman, another paper estvb- j
ished by the farmers, and that is a ]
itaunch supporter of Gov. Tillman in its ^
ast issue says that, the people will not ^
mpport a constitutional convention an- j
e33 they have a voice In saying whether
>r rot thev will ad?pt it when mad?.. A i
armer, writing m the last issue cf the ,
JoUon Plant, takes a decided stand
igain8t a convention. He argues: '
"The matter of this convention is no ,
lew thing betore the people, for it has
:een before them in other elections, bat 1
I aeem3 that it ba3 been voted down on ?
every occasion, and why is it thus? vve
will speak only for the farmers that surround
our immediate neighborhood. We
mow their sentiments and tears as regards
this convention; now it is admit;ed
that the State constitution was Jraimid
by the Republican party. Let that be
13 it may. There is one part of that
constitution that has been ever sioce it
was framed a protection to the farmers
md poor widows and children of our
5 .ate who might in ?ariou3 ways become
evolved and be thrown out into the
ivorld without house or home. And
.hat part is the part of the homestead
aw, and we know that there is strong
exposition to that one feature of the constitution,
and that is just why in our
oiinds that the convention has always
seen voted down?was the lears that if
Lhere was ever a constitutional convention
called that we would not know who
that convention might be composed of
whether it would be made up ot men that
believed in some protection, or men that
have been long wishing to see the day
come to get the opportunity to wipe
out that feature as part of the constitution.
Tnere may be some parts of the
old constitution that really ought to be
changed, aod some might thick that
that very homestead feature b the one
that cught to be changed, but somehow
or Other we that have seen the good
Lhere has been in it to some people
don't think so, unless it can be changed

against all moitgages, or anything else
that might be likely toup3etit; that is
the way we think it should be, safe
against any and ail things."

So far as Spartanburg county is coo
cerned, unless a great revolution takes
place in public sentiment in the next two
weeks, we will roll up a maj orlty of between
two and three thousand against
holding a conyention. We Lave conversed
with at iea3t three hundred farmers
and reformers from different
sections, and are yet to Had
the first man who will support a
convention, unless it is submitted to the
people for ratification or rejection. We
also believe tha^ Greenville and Union
will vote against it. In the latter county
Hon. Godfrey B. Fowler made the race
frr the legislature as an opponent to the
convention, and wa3 nominated by a
large majoriiy. The or j actions that our
people have to a convention are:
1. They demand that the work be
submitted to them for ratification or rejection.
and.argue that if our leaders are
not willing to trust them, that it is unfair
to demand that they place their
suffrage and political liberty at the mercy
of 160 men. Such a proposition violates
the very fundamental principles of
our reform movement.
2. If a property suffrage! qualification
is adopted, it matters not now small
the amount, it will disfranchise fully
one half cf the white vote of the old
Iron District; and when you take away a
poor man's ballot, you strip him of bis
armor, and place him at the mercy of
the money p^wer. We do not know
when our reform faction may go
out of power in South Carolina and
should the antis regain control of thj
State government, they will draw the
line on the poor white man as well as
the negro, and take his vote from him.
3. There is no doubt about an educational
qualification being adopted, wh'ch
will require a voter to read the constitution
of his State "understanding^" and
write hts name. Now, there are between
one thousand and fifteen hundred white
voters in Spartanburg county who are
unlettered, and when you draw the educational
line they are disfranchised,
and to be permitted to vote must violate
the laws of their State. This will
greatly weaken the political power ot
our county, and at the 'same time
take from these voters the only weaoon
they have to fight for their rights with.
One of our leading reformers remarked
last Saturday that his father lived in
Pickens county, and was 02 years old,
and while te bad given his sons a good
education, the old gentleman did not
know a letter in the book. He has always
prided himself on voting the ticket
of his choice, and is a good citiz in. Now,
to take this old man's vote from him,
or make him dependent on some one
else for the prviiige of casting a ballot,
would be an outrage, which hi3 fioiiiy
will recent to any extremity.
4. Cur state executive committee admits
that a constitutional convention
would cost $50,000, which means 100
bases or ?>i cents cotton ta*en irom me
farmers ol Spartanburg; fur it matters
not who pays taxes, it comes out of the
tiller ol the soil at last. Now, can our
people afford, their present straightened
financial condition, io incur this expense?
And then we must remember, that this
constitution can be amended, aud made
oyer new, if necessary, without costing
one extra dollar, and by the legislature
submitting any amendments it sees proper
to the people for their ratification.
5. While It is true the anti papers are
opposing the convention, this is no reason
why an intelligent man should fight
it. Every voter must thmk and act for
himself, and not be guided either by the
commaads of one faction or another fac
?v t^'nii ii tftr
i
. nn ?j
ion. This is a free country, and every
aan 13 iiven the ri^ht to vote and think
or himself.
6. And while we admit that this con.
tiiutioa should bs amended, there sre .
eve.al itcod classes in it that we do not S
rant changed. O ie is the homestead
aw, that has saved io many a poor wo- 1
aan her litila home and bread for he: f
hildrcn. Then there is another clause I
1 the old constitution prohibiting a
reditor from selling a wife's property
opay her husband's debts. Now is there
justana numane man in soutn uuror.ua
?ho would want these laws changed?
Jelter let the people "doctor" up the
Id constitution, and then they ea:i sav =
rhat chaD es they want.
7. When you disfranchise the negro,
ou alio take the buliot from four-tilths
f our cotton mill operative?; and this
ote is the'.r most precious possession.
Lnd then, the pay of the members of the
onvention has not been tixed, ana we
annot teil what it may be. If we are
oiug to change our contitulicn, let us go
o work in a business-like war, and give
he white people a voice in saying what
hey waal done: If the legislature will
ass a bill outlining the work of the coneation,
and sayiog just how far it must
o, fixing the time ii caa remain in sesion,
aDd then regulate the per diem of
lembers, so that the people can see ~
rbat is expecttd ci tbem, then tbey will
iadiiy voie for a convention. But ii
ur leaders are afraid to trust the people I
ow can they expect the people to icnlicitly
trust and blindly follow them? |
Now, those papers that are trying to 2
aic The Headlight out of the reform
arty iust because we don't support a ,
onveution, shoald set to worx and anwer
the above arguments. When the
ote is counted in Spartanburg county,
ou will see that this paper now, as in
ae past, is representing the wishes of a _
irge majority ol cu: reform voters.? _
