State Prohibition conference will
be held in the city of Columbia,
S. C., on Wednesday, the 23rd day
of May, 1900, for the purpose of
considering the propriety of suggesting
candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor to represent the
Prohibitionists of South Carolina in
the Democratic primary, and also to
announce the principles and purposes
of the Prohibitionists in seeking
to obtain control through the
Democratic organization of the executive
and legislative departments
of the State government, for the enactment
and enforcement of measures
which are in best accord with
the highest interest of the people,
and which will take the State out of
the liquor business.
For the purpose of obtaining a
full and free expression of the Prohibitionists
in regard to these matiere,
a call is hereby issued for them
to assemble in their respective counties
at the court house on Saturday,
the 12th day of May, 1900, to elect
three representatives, with alternates
to attend the State conference on the
28d of May, with or without instructions
and to choose a County

A VOICE FROM CHAIRMAN JONES.
To the Democrats of the State:
The reorganization of the Democratic
clubs will mark the beginning
of the active work of the candidates
for office and the politicians will at
an early day declare themselves on
the issues of the coming campaign.
There is very little doubt but what
the liquor question and the dispen
?^ ? 41" "V*?f a lconno
sary win uu iue tuici uu^o
It will be the old fight of 189S over
again, with this difference (unless I
have been mistaken in the impressions
that have been made upon me
in visiting the d.ffcrenct sections of
the State) that the lines will be closely
drawn, and that the candidates will
have to take their choice of the home
or the dispensary; this is the fight
and the interests of the two are as
d.fferent as the day is different from
the night. The Christian home is
the hope and stay of the State; it is
hallowed by every sacred tie and is
the happiest and biightest spot on
earth. The dispensary is the greatest
enemy to the home and the most
dangerous place in every community,
and is woiking daily and houily tc
rob the house of all of its attrac
tiocs. I> snatches from its influence
the most promising cf its sons and
takes to a drunkard's heme (in name
only) the fairest and loveliest of its
daughters, and this, toe, with the
authority and sanction of the State
because the politicians who now con
trol the Democratic party eayitmusJ
go on. Where do you stand in 1900
For the home or for the dispensary
Are you a defender of the home, oi
are you its enemj? I believe yoi
will have the manhood to shake of
the shackles of the dispensary ric<
and the whisky trusts and stand uj
for the good name of your home an<
State. The candidate is to be pitiei
who is a member of the church an
pretends to claim that he regard
"the dispensary law the best solutiui
of the whisky question," because h
he thinks he can secure office throug!
the dispensary machine, thus stlliuj
himself, his home and playing th
hypocrite in order to do it. Th
Prohibitionists may or may not bav
e mdidates for all the < ftiees to b
voted for, but if the Christian me
and women will do their duty frot
j this day forward we will win a great
| victory this year. Draw the line
closely aod let every candidate understand
that he must take one side or
I the other; and that no prohibition
j Democrat will vote for a man who
j takes the side of the dispensary.

Though Peace Presumably Prevails
ihe Soldiers are Killing Filipinos.
Manila, April 25, G:20 p. m ?
Officers who have arrived here from
Mueva Caceras, province of South
Carmarines, bring details of a fight
April 16, in which 80 Filipinos were
killed. The American outposts reported
300 natives assembled three
miles from the town, and Gen. Bell
sent three detachments of the Fortyeighth
regiment with two Maxims,
who nearly surrounded the Filipinos,
a majority of whom were armed with
bolos.
The Filipinos wore Cirabao hide
helmets, coats and shields. They
were put to flight, leaving the field
strewn with armor.
Their riflemen were unable to shoot
straight and the bolomen never got
near enough to the Americans to do
any cxecutim. Therefore none of
the Americans were wounded.
Lieut. Bath with 20 cavalrymen
from the Thirty-seventh cornered 50
bolomen in a river and shot every
one, the bodies floating away. One
soldier had his head struct on with
a bolo.
Gm. Ball's two regiments are hard
worked in clearing the country.
They meet with many small squads
of bolomen and last week killed a
total of 225. A squadron of the
Eleventh oavalry is about leaving
Manila on board the transport Lennox
to re-enforce them. The insurgents
keep the province in a state of
terror and are wreaking vengeance
on natives who trade with the Americans,
burning many villages, including
the populous town of San Fernando.

i The War in the Philippines Being

the Same Breed That Denied SelfGovernment
in 1860.
Atlanta, April 20.? The observance
of Memorial day in Athuta was
| made notable by a speech delivered
: by the Governor of Georgia in which
he 6cored Republican "fanatics" and
criticised the war in the Philippines.
The speech was made at the presentation
of crosses of honor to the
veterans and was loudly cheered.
"You fought not to promote the
ambition of a crowned head, not for
conquest, not to force your govern- (
ment upon an unwilling people, but l
for the God-given right of local selfgovernment.
''You rebelled against the domica- ,
tion of a sectional political party, led
by fanatics who did not and do not
believe in this cardinal doctrine and 1
who were the sworn enemies of you
and your interests and your institu- 1
tions. Blinded by fanaticism the ^
leaders of this party either c^uld or
would not do you and your section 1
justice. You were maligned and !
abused and reviled and slandered. '
"It is a singular fact, as has been '
justly said by a distinguished Re- '
publican senator a few years ago,
that the nothern conscience was
never quickened to a full realization ]
of the enormity of slavery until their '
own slaves had been converted into
gold and the gold had found a safe
lodgment deep down in their pockets. ]
"The southern people were goaded i
into secession in spite of their love
for the constitution and the union.
"Perhaps both sides sinned as the
conflict grew fiercer. Let the question
rest where the legend on the }
beautiful badge you are to wear (
places it. Deo vindice, let God ^
judge between us. <
"I do not mean to diparage nor
impugn the motives of the gallant
men who confronted us on a hundred
battlefields, nor of the great mass of
the people of the non-seceding
States.

ing the golden rule, preached from
i the pulpit the doctrine of hate in'
steidof 'peace on earth and go, d

j "This breed of fanatics Las not
: run out. None of them were ever j
killed in battle, for they didn't go.
They are still in congress and in the j
pulpit, and are preaching the same j
unholy gospel. They still dominate |
the party of Lincoln and Seward and j
| Chase, which denied to you in 1SG0 j
j the blood bought right of local self- j

Facts About the Paris Exposition.
The Paris exposition originated in j
i notion of M. Jules Roche, minister
of finance, who, in July, 1802, proposed
the plan to President Carnof.
C)u July 13 of the same year the ,
president issued a decree announcing
i "universal exposition of works of
ait and of industrial and-agricultural
products" in 1900.
Eight years have been consumed
in the preliminary preparations and
in the actual construction of the
buildiugs.
The total cost of the exposition
proper has been $27,000,000 (135,000,000
francs). Of this sum the
government gave 2'\000,000 francs,
the city of Paris a like sum and the
remainder was raised by an issue of
popu ar bonds.
About 810,000,000 has been invested
in side shows and amusement
enterprises outside the grounds.
All the buildings, including the
Paris "Midway," occupy an area of
300 acres.
Space allotted to the United
States, 200,000 square feet.
Appropriation of the United States
government 81,210,000.
Duration of the exposition, from
April 15 to November 5?204 days.

G. M. HABMAN, Editor and Pnblisher,
About McLaurin's Porto Rico Vote.
i'orkviile Enquirer.
After calliDg especial attention to
the circumstance that the anti-McLaurin
newspapers failed to acknowledge
the Senator's vote on the Porto
Rican tariff bill, the manning Times
goes on to say:
"What we started to show, however,
was the systematic efforts on
the part of McLaurin's enemies to
conceal what he does do that will
meet with the people's approval, and
to magnify, and contort into misrepresentation
such acts as they think
will be approved of. The Record
shows McLaurin to have voted on
every party measure with his party
and it also snows that be has bad
the manliness to be independent of
all cliques or political clans. This
fight on McLaurin now would have
been made on Senator Tillman; but
those opposed to Tillman know they
stand no chance to defeat him than
a cat in an oil tank without claws;
so they begin far ahead blaz'mg the
way to McLaurin's defeat. But two
years is a loDg way off, and the conspirators
may be striking at the base
of a tree which will come down on
themselves with destructive force."
We do not think The Times has
any occasion to worry. That saying
of Lincoln's to the effect that "you
can fool all the people some of the
time and some of the people all the
