It was a rogulnr "pow-wow" from Hist to last, and most of tho timo WOB taken up lu ''high falutin'' spoooh.es and wild wrangling?, during wb'?h so'vo ''ouija* ? words v/c usod promiscuously. K. A. Wobstor was olooted State Chairman, having defeated Brayton by a voto of DO to 21. There woro several contesting delegations from different counties, and tho Webster dele gatos woro seated. Oconeo was repre sented by David Singlotou and W. J. Thomas, who fought for the honor with M. XI. Hryeo and Edward Evans, defeat ing them, thus securing the recognition of tho anti-ltryce faction among tho Ooo? noo Republicans. The matter of making a nomination for State oflleors was, nitor sonto disouesion, referred to the Execu tive Committee, lt is hardly probable that any nomination? will he made. Commuted to Life Imprisonment. Goorgo W. Murrell, who was sentenced to hang next Friday, had his sentence commuted last Saturday by tho Governor to lifo imprisonment at hard labor. Mur rell and William Carpenter were con victed of brutally murdering Paul Yonco, of Edgoftold. They escaped jail. Murrell was captured in a swamp. Two thousand one hundred citizens petitioned for the commutation. Nine hundred ? "billers, among whom was lion Tillman, requested tho Governor not to interfere with tho courts. Solicitor Nelson said tho testimony made (?ut a (dear case of murder. "The jury," ho said, ' saw lit, to rooonimeiM them lo mercy and I'm frank to say the law does not require I ''Commutation on that ground, bul it has been regulated rather by common usage." Tho jury that tried thc case recommended tho commutation as I bey had recom mended tho prisoner to morey al the timo of rendering the verdict, .ludgo Norton concurred in the jury's recom mendation "as an encouragement of jurie:; to Hud proper verdict?. Aside from these considerations 1 see no reason for commutation." Const it nt Ional Convent ion. Tho twelfth plank in the platform of tho late Democratic .state Convention de mands "That a constitutional convention bo called to give us an organic law framed by our own pooplo. Wo believe the pro? sent law a menace to our civilization and to our educational institutions, ami that wo cannot obtain any great relief from Sn our burdensome taxes till this is done, and we have hist faith in power t<j amend tho presold- constitution so that il will moot tho requirements." Tho purpose of such a call will surely commend itself to every right thinking man and Democrat: I ?ti t the aecomplish R mont of tho desired object, will require timo and patience. It cannot, bo badin a day. The law regulating the call is embodied in the presen,; constitution, Article Iii, Section ft,and reads: ' When ever two-thirds of the members elected to onoh blanch of the General Assembly f-.- shall think it necessary (ocalia eonven Ip" tion to revise, amend or chang?' this constitution, they shall recommend to tho electors lo vote at tho next election for representatives for or against a con vontion; and if a majority of all tho doctors voting nt said ?lection shall have voted for ti convention, the General As soinbly shall, at their next, session, pro I vide by law for calling the same; and such convention shall consist of a num ber of members, not h'ss Iban thal of tho most numerous branch of the dene ?Al Assembly." Thus iL will be seen thal thc I legislature, either this year or next, can only recom mond the call for ti convention, which . would he voted upon at the general elec tion in 1S01?; and if ti majority should then vote in favor of a convention, tho General Assembly next thereafter would provide for its call by tho proper ciiaol mont.s. This is Hie .>??..!"" ?.;?? :??:...!: for nssonibliir* tho convention, ami nothing more. Still L is the only way by w hich wc can go lo the convention, and il will draw its weary length along for nearly tinco years, regardless of tho necessity, or otherwise, for so much limo. bot there bc no discouragement, bow ovcr, because of tho tardiness in proced ido. It. should serve to endear the cansoso much the more in Ute hearts ol ., tho pooplo. Ample opportunity will thus bo-iiHorded for thc delib?rale eon sidoration of fundamental change.', in our organic law, and for the public mind to settle somewhat on the most needed reforms. . -sa Hon. Geo. 1). Tillman Kc-Nomiuntcd. Hon. Goorgo I). Tillman was re nomi nated for Congress for the eighth lime al Aiken on Friday. Ho received :;o voles P?J[those of Ikunwcll and Collelon) cast for G. Duncan bollinger, of barn wed. Ur. Tillman, in thanking the con volition made ti red hot speech against tho sub-treasury bill and Alliance l?epre sontativo MoCuno. Tho following is strong, square lalk: "MoCunois tho originator of that bill. Ho ls a reformed Republican, who failed at dentistry in Indiana, Moated about California for a while, and dually went down to Texas, where lie manipulated Allianco money. "Is there any justice in taxing other industries to build warehouses for tho products of the farmers? The Alliance professes equal justice to all timi special favors to none. If that ain't special -favor what is it? ^.A/.'TWO Republicans framed that bill. There is no Democracy in it. It is a bridge to carry tho Democratic parly over, horse, foot and dragoon, to the '.Republican party. It provides foi the injection of warehouse manage] s, but the ooiisliCilfcion says Federal oflieers must ,bo appointed and not elected, and you ?know whom tho Republicans will appoint, fit says thero shall be an election to ^decide whero tho warehouse shall be |[budt. It will bo a Federal election, not t a State election. The negroes would ? Vote, and whites would divide. Would f'not that bo a nico state of affairs? Then ?^Ui?vo would ho lots of stealing and em >,'' bczzling; cotton would disappear, and there- Would he litigation. All would havo to bo tile?! in the United States Court. You could not bring thom into your own courts. TU 're is no moro chance for that bill to pass than there is to pnss a bill to build a tower to tho moon, "Thoro were-only two Congressmen who Were avowed supporters of tho sub treasury bill. Thoy had their pupers ns lawyers annulled, but tho Alliance thought they wero too enthusiastic, and did not nominate thom for another term. "Tho most stupid thing tome Lil the whole bill is that BO per cent advanced on products lil tho early part of the year And at tho latter end of tho year the money is burned. What you need is more money, all the time, lo keep prices up and keep them steady. "The bill was gotten up by a commit tee of three-a dreamer, a speculator and a scurvy politician-who wanted to provide a popular scheme for broken down politicians. Senator Vance intro duced it into the Senate by request. ' lie was silent about it for four months, and at the end of which time ho denounced it. (u the meantime, though, the Alli ance pap?is and tramp orators cried it aloud Unit Senator Yanco endorsed it, and what Sonntov Ynncc endorsee in right. Mr. Uemphill has whipped it out in his District. In Ooorgia all the strong politicians went hack in suite of it. Two of thom did md seek another terni. Major barnes was not defeated on account of it, but on account of thc pre judice of the country against tho city. I seek lo protect ibo Alliance, to kee)? j politicians from prostituting it. Stand hy the Alliance and vote for Alliaucemen and mensures, hut not ?is a secret body." Mr. Tillman is ?i member of tho Alli ance. Westminster Orange, ><>. 241, of Coonee County.

Carter & VAK Our ToniftfiNw Correspondence. TOM ASSKK, S. C., Sept. SS2, ISMO DKAK COUKIKK: Wo have no'imws to speak of in Ulis part of tho coun try this illino. Everybody lins to look after other affairs too muoh to caper around and make a morsel of news for a hayseed newspaper cor respondent. * So mueh rc-planting had to bo <lone last summer", on account of bud worms, etc., that fodder must bo gone over two, and in some oases, three times; otherwise some would bo "burnt up" before the re plants were ripe. About an average crop of fodder will be pulled, but very little strictly first class fodder will bo saved, on account of tho constant showers of rain. Cotton picking is progressing very well, and cotton is opening very fast, lt is thought an average crop will be made. Mrs. J. K. Fogartie and children, and airs. MoCorklo spent several days with Mrs. C. Jones last week. [jotters from Jefferson, Texas, say that that sect'on has had a drought of (?vcr two months, and in other places, much longer, and that only half a crop will be gathered. Chinquapins and muscadines aro now ripe, and we suppose people can live a wdiile longer, even if black berries are out of date. You hear a great many people say that cotton doesn't pay, and yet you generally soo them plant a patch, even if be must rent land to do so. The prevailing idea seems to he that ono must, have enough cotton "to buy the chi liens' shoes, an' ter git Ol' new suit or Sunday-go-to-mcetin' clothes. The Cor 1:1 KU'S editorial on the gubernatorial campaign was timely, and we hope everybody will realize that should the Radicals nominate a candidate fur Co vernor, it will be a contest for supremacy between Anglo-Saxons and Africans, botwoen civilization and barbarism, and be tween prosperity and decay. No ono should hesitate to vote for Till man because ho is not an ideal man. No doubt ho will make as good an otlicinl as Richardson bas, and though Marie or li nilton probably would have made a belter one, he is the choice of an overwhelming majority of thc people, and therefore should bo Governor. If Tillman doesn't suit the people, he can stay but two years, and should ha bc n real tyrant, even, il would be better to have two years of him, Iban ten, or perhaps twelve, ol' negro and carpet-bag rule, Tho census just completed is very gratifying, though imperfect it may be, not only for the wonderful growl I: and prosperity ol' the South, but also for the great relative increase, ol tin; white over the negro population thus giving promise of a peacefu settlement of tho much moote? "race problem." ? J KKK 1 'KKK I N'S. The Clemson College. Ax DICKSON, September If).-(Jot R. W.

There has been no rain on the Pa cific coast, and only light showers in the country from thc Dakotas South ward lo Northern Texas. Harvesting has been completed in Dakota, bul has been delayed in Minnesota by excessive rains. Kill ing frosts have occurred in Nebraska and Iowa, with slight damage to late corn. Corn is considered safe in In diana and I linois, where wheat seed ing and corn cutting are progressing. The temp?rature and sunshine have been below thc average in Kansas and Missouri, and warm weather is needed for cori, in the latter State. Cotton opening ami picking have been retarded by rain in Arkansas and Texas; picking is progressing in Louisilin, where (he rice crop is be ing harvested; cane is nourishing and a few cases of grinding are re ported. Conditions have not been favora ble for cotton in Mississippi, whore tho outlook is no better than at the last report. In Alabama the weather has been greatly favorable for gather ing crops.

At bis suggestion the churches ilow opon for fasting, humiliation and prayor or for thanks giving scrvicos. Every Democrat recognized bim as leader and king and ovM-y Kndioal hated him with bitter hatred as tho incarnation of tho shot-gun democracy. Wad? Hampton was the idol of thc people. His word was law, his presence tho signal for an ovation, and the entire white population wan eager to crowd upon bim marks of honor, affection and devotion. * D. II. Chamberlain was a fugitive, after having long been hemmed in by protecting Federal bayonets, followed by thc bitterest curses, tho deepest hatred that any man was ever the object of.

Haskell its nomination and support for Gover nor against a Democratic nominee, and he declines to tell the reporters how he feels or thinks about it.

Ono night I felt from a window, Way up on thc soventh lloor; Those pants hung nm up on a railing Of tho veranda at number four, And thore 1 had to spend the night I could not tear those pants, Nor cut thom with a pocket knife, So oil thin air I danced. And then 1 called upon my girl Rut they loosed tho bull-dog's chain, Ile nailed mc in those liants of mino, And chawed and chawed in vain. Those pants did let no dog tooth through To lacerate my h ido, And I escaped to advortiso Reid's clothing far and wide. I scaled an-.Orchard fence one day And climbed au applo tree; I tilled myself and pockets, too; In fact I made mos! free; Just hore I was taken all aback Ry a iiitcbfork thrust at mo.
