Condensed Proceedlngs-Brayan and Tillman Endorsed-The Platform-A Discordant Note from Youmans Which Jarred the Convention. Condensed from Colombia State. The State Democratic convention convened in the House of Representatives last Wednesday, May 16. The prevalence of perfect harmony in tbo ronL-o tho * T)pmnnrftOV of South Carolina was most strikingly exemplified yesterday in the State Democratic convention when ExGovernor Jehu C. Sheppard arose, nominations for delegates at-large to the national convention having been called for, and presented in behalf of the Edgefield delegation the name of the Hon. B R Tillman, and Mr. Cos- J grove of Charleston was first to rise and second the nomination. The convention to a man noted the incident. The convention opened up on time and rhings moved smoothly and ee renely from the very outset. There were no warm discussions or di-play of anything approaching factionalism. Col Wilie Jones made a i?reat hit. and caused end of meriment when be named each of the rtudtuaies tor governor on the com uiiitee to escort the temporary chair man to the stand Promptly at 12 m Col. Wilie Jones, Aolla/^ f bo /imoonHnn Oli?lbC I'UCMl LUBU, WOiicu kuc vuuivuvivu to order. Tbe convention was opeBed with prayer by the Rev. W. E. Evans of Trinity church. Mr. J. E. Brazeale of Anderson, was made temporary chairman, T. C. Hamer, secretary and Mr. Stansell, sergeant-at-arms. The enrollment of delegates was then proceeded with and a permanent organization was effected by the Blection of "W. F. Stevenson chairman and the temporary officers were made permanent. Mr. J. G. Etheredge of Lexington, was made one of the seven Vice Presidents. Dr. D M. Crosson was appointed a member cf the committee on constitution and by-laws, and D. F. Efird on that of platform and resolutions. W. H. Sharpe was nominated and elected reading clerk. A PLATFORM. First?That we re affirm our alle"???? UnmAnrofifl nQrfr nf fVl& ^ aiil/C w IJJU A/tUiUVi U.iW i J V* VWV United States and declare again cur belief In the principles upon which the party was founded by Thomas Jefferson. Second?That we endorse in full and in particular the Democratic platform of 1896, adopted by the Chicago convention, and that we adhere to the principles therein enunciated, without qualification or amendment and demand their readoption by the convention which j will meet in Kansas City on July lib Third?That we condemn as injurious to the best interests of this country, the financial legislation of the Republican congressional majority, whose policy proves the subserviency of that party to the trusts and national bank interests. Fourth?That we view with alarm the power which the trusts, through the Republican party, are exercising over legislation and national policies, and their ability to control the prices ?f the necessities of life without rega'd to the law of supply and dens md. We condemn the hypocritical a ltude of the Republican leaders who abuse trusts and combines, while *bey use the money obtained irom TOccu ana HFoien irom me peo pie to dibrtuch the ignorant voters of tn?- r-'-uutry. Fifth?That we denounce the im ueiialiMic policy of ihe present administration under President William MeKiuley, as contrary to the letter and spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States, and as dangerous to the liberty and freedom not only of the people of the Spanish islands but of the cit'Zims of this country as well. "Tne becevj-mt assimilation'' of the Fil pinos has proven to be tbe boLt-voience ox murder and the assimilation of robbery. We denounce it a3 an outrage to the consciences of iiberty-loving Americans. Our free institutions cannot long survive the destruction of those i principles upon which they rest, and the spectacle of subj *ct peoples held down by the bayonet and robbed by carpetbaggers but foreshadows the fate for our country unless the people are aroused to our danger. The ; unjust war of subjugation dow beiDg ] carried on in the Philippines by President McKinley should be ended j at once with definite and pacific declarations to the natives as to the j intentions of this country to aid them in the establishment of a free govern- ; ment of their own choice, under a protectorate by the United States. Sixth?That we demand a strict ; adheience on the part of the United States government to the solemn 1 pledges by which congress promised { independence to the Cuban patriots, and for which this country waged a ; successful aud glorious war with ; Spain. Seventh?That we denounce and i condemn the unjust and unconstitu-' j tional treatment of Puerto Rico by J the Republican party, whose policy j in that island is Dot only illegal but j unworthy of a republic, aud we do- j maod a recognition of Puerto Rico ; under the constitution of the Uni'ed j States and on the same basis with j the other territories. Eighth?That we endorse the j course of those Democratic senators , and representatives who opposed the imperialistic legislation enacted by the Republican coDgress for the j government of Puerto Rico. Ninth?That we heartily commend j and approve the wise and conserva- I tive party leadership of William j Jennings Bryan, the ablest states ! man of the day and promise him our 1 unqualified support for the presi- : dency of the United States, believing ! that he will restore the lost prestige ! of that high ofiice and execute its | duties with a view to the good of the < people and not in the interest of ' i Bargains!

Tenth?Tbat we express our hearty sympathy with the two South ' African republics now fightiog eo < valiantly for liberty against the im- j mense armies of Great Britian. Her unrighteous course deserves the con demnation of all loveis of selr-gov- j ernment, and we denounce the } j present administration for not es- j j tendiog an cffbr of its good offices to ! | terminate the unholy war of sub jo- i gation. c? The utterances of the platform on the Philippine war were applauded i as Senator Tillmao read them. i A Dumber of resolutions were in- j troduced and referred to the com mittee on resolutions.

Mr. Prince moved to reconsider i I the action taken requiring all resolu- j tion9 be referred to a committee on j resolutions. Tuis was done. Mr. G.^ntrv then offered the fol- 1 ? - - lowing: Resolved, Thai we endorse the i course of the Hou. L. R. Tillman in the limited States Senate, and especially the able manner in which he has exposed and condemned the hypociitical imperialistic policy of the Republican administration. That his flints to inculcate honest methods in public expenditures, and expose of frauds and steals in armor plate contracts entitle him to the thanks of his State and of the republic. a sunruisE. The resolution wa6 about to be adopud to all appearances without a dissenting vote, when Col. L. W. ! Youmans, of Barnwell county, took j the floor and moved that so much of j the resolution as endorsed the course of the Senior Senator be striken out. Major Woodward seconded the resolution. There was a buzz and a number of motions to lay the motion on | the table. Senator Tillman was sitting near the head of the main aisle. Cel. Youmans stood only a few feet away i in the aisle. When order was secured he pulled out some manu! script and began to speak in support of his motion in the most earnest manner, walking up and down the aisle near the press stand. All listening closely to what he was going to say. He stated at the outset that he could not appove some of the Senator's actions. He did not think such endorsement should be desired unless it was fully and freely given. When a voice again9t it was raised the reasons must of a necessity be stated. Sometimes a Senator's views were not so much in accord with those of his constituents as to make it wise to ask endorsement. Again there was the question of conduct. The Senator was in accord with the policy of free silver. He was not in accord on other important issues. Continuing he said that while Sentor Tillman may have deported himself with becoming integrity and dignity, still his views and sentiments precluded the propriety of an Vvrr rvnAnl o TTfl l Q CUUUrBCIIiCUli UJ iuc u? .u on record as being opposed to free trade and free banking, two of the cardinal principles of Democracy.

This was shown in Senator Tillman's efforts to incorporate in the Chicago platform a prohibitory clause aaainat nrivate banking. -? C o 0a tbe cardinal principle of "tariff for revenue only," where does Senator Tillman stand? Comparing Senator Tillman's record with that of Wm. IRKinley, whom Tillman calls "lovable man," the two stand together, on protection, the class legislation of the favored few. He quoted from a letter to Thomas F. Bjron from Tillman in 1895, and from the Congressional Record, in which he had favored protection, of McKinlev's doctrine. Strange that Senator Tillman, pro fessing to be a farmer, should boldly declare bis willingness to close the foreign maikets to our consumers and to open them to our manufaci turors I !

The United Lutheran synod opeDed here at 3 o'clock this afternoon. One hundred delegates are in attendance many of whom are distinguished divines representing nearly every southern State. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. J. B. Greiner of Rural Retreat, Va., President of the synod. It was followed by the synodical communion. At 4:30 Bishop Rendethaler in behalf of pastors of the Twin City | delivered a beautiful address of welcome. He was followed by Mayor | 0. B. Eiton, who extended a hearty and royal welcome to the synod in the name of Winston. The response in behalf of the synod was made by Hon. E L Greever, Tazewell, Ya. Rev. J. B. Greiner was reelected President of the synod for two years. Tonight Rev. Dr. Yoder, of Hickory, N. C, and Rev. J. B. Greever, D. D., of Tennessee, delivered addresses on Christian education. Two sessions will be held daily. At night addresses will be delivered by members of the synod on important subjects. The synod will not adjourn before Saturday night or Monday. The Lutheran synods south of Mason and Dixon's line belonged to the general synod north until 1862, when the Civil War cut off all exchange of delegates. The southern Lutheran synods then organized a general synod south, which has since been merged into the United Synod " . of the Lutheran Church South. * A Life and Death Fight. Mr. W. A.

You never know how good some men are until you read their obituaries. A large part of Christianity consists in being good and amiable to everybody. It is very bard for a wife to remember sometimes that Adam was made first. The small boy prononnces a meal first rate when there is enough gravy to go round. The smallest act may be glorified by the kindly spirit that prompts its performance. This earth would again bean Eden if men would only do what women think they ought to.
