The State Democratic Executive Committee met in the office of the Secretary of State last night and fVio fr>r frV>? conveD JLi ti.iV uww J.V* tion. An effort was made to have the convention meet ?n Charleston, but some of the members thought they caught the odor of the "nigger in the wood pile," and this proposition was voted down. At the meet ing last night 26 of the 40 counties were represented. Senator Tillman was here by virtue 01 nis poeiuuu as a member of the national committee. Col. Wilie Jones, chairman of committee, presided, and Mr. U. X Gunter, Jr., the Secretary, was also present. The members present were: A. W. Jones, Abbeville;' W. W. Williams, AikeD, J. Perry Glenn, AndersoD; S. ^ " -e-'J n n.innan U. iuavueiu, x>?Lmjcig* vj?. j_-^^ Bellinger, Barnwell; S. G. McCoy, Berkeley; W. F. StevensoD, Chesterfield; Louis Appelt, CiarendoD; L. J.

Richland: * ? - 7 ? R B. -Watson, Saluds; Altamonn Moses, SumteV; J. C. Wilborn, York; U X Gunter, Jr., Secretary; B. R Tillman, member of the National Democratic Executive Committee. . / There was considerable discussion caused by the introduction of a resolution by Mr. Magill that no member be allowed to vote unless that mem ber had been regularly elected. That was supported by Mr. W. D. Evans and Mr. Blease. Col. Wharton and Mr. Altamont Moses opposed the mo tion. Senator Tillman said in reply to Mr. Moses that it is sometimes the case that members of the National Democratic Committee are represented by proxy. It was decided to Jet the members present, by proxy or otherwise, participate in the proceedings and in the votes. Mr. Blease introduced a resolution to the effect that the committee ad vise the convention to add a new section to the oath to be taken by candi dates in the State primary, so that they would be bound to support the platform of the National Democratic party. But he withdrew the resolution at the suggestion of Ool. W. D. Evans, who declared that it would be something like arrogance- for this committee, which now goes out of existence, to make any such suggestion to the convention. There was no further business and the committee adjourned. Under the constitution of the party the Democratic clubs meet to leorganiz^ on the last Saturday in April, the 2tiih this year. The couDty conven tions meet on the first Monday in May. the 5th day, and elect delegates to the State convention which mee!s in Co'.umbia on the 21st of May. ? ** a#wwjr vsT vw w Be sure and use that old and well tried remedy, Mrs. TVinslow's Soothing Syrup for children teething.

Tiie Department of Agriculture The department of agriculture was formerly a jest and a by-word: its reports, sent by train loads to placate voters: were relegated to attics or thrown into the ash barrels. Seeds sent to those who never a3ked for them, as is fit for unsought gifts, would not turn out right. Of late years ilus IUI^UI iauv ucpai iuicuu i_:c?o been elevated to a Cabinet position and its scope broadened. In forestry it has atoned for the past; :'n horticulture it is now directing intelligent eftbrt; in the single division of cotton culture it has developed an Egyptian staple cf cotton which will thrive on American soil, furnishing a soft fibre - ... ... suited for underwear and hosiery. Ia place of a cotton plant liable to attacks of a destructive insect, it has i i hybridized a variety which is immune to such creatures?bad for the bugs, but better for the planters. This work reaches beyond the agricultural interests and touches the affairs of , the whole people and should be en ] dorsed by the community and sus- , fninpr? bv Congress.

In his letter to j Senator Tillman on the subject Com- ] missioner Bowers suggested that no i < special site be named in the bill, so ] that the most available locality might i be selected. Many things, he said, < have to be taken into consideration, 1 including sufficient water supply, lay j of land, with a view to the construe, tion of ponds and buildings, and near- ! ] ness to railroad and town where sup- j , p'ies may be purchased. These sug- i i trestions were cheerfully accepted by , ! Senator Tillman. j 800 Tons of Snails. During the last year Paris con-; sumed 800 tons of SDails.

It is said that they thus acquire the delicate flavor ^ of a superior Burgundy wine, but the flavor is, ia practice, generally < verwhelmed by an extensive admix- j fcure of chopped garlic. ?

"Washington, April 4?The friends of the bill to confer Statehood on Arizona, Oklahoma and New Mexico were claiming today that they had 112 Republican votes in the House pledged to support that measure, of which number from forty to seventy would withstand all pressure. The assertion made by the House leaders hat those territories would send Democratic Senators to Congress if admitted as States they denounce as groundless anj3 erroneous. Oa the contrary, they say, the Republicans i&ve New Mexico and Oklahoma safe md would have more than a fighting sbance in Arizona if Statehood were ;onferred on that Territory by a Republican Congress. The Speaker has aot notified the committee on terri;ories whether he would give the bill i day in the House or whether it svould have to be called up ae a privil- 1 ?dged measure. By G-ones.
