The fact that the World's Fair pos1 office will supply hourly mails to 150,000 exhibitors,-and that the force employed will be as lar.ze as that at the Milwaukee post office, involves no slur on Milwaukee.

C., a few days ago ii* he was in the ) Third party movement He said in repbv that, as far as he was concerned, he was foot loose from all political parties, hav ing severed all party ties. He added, however, that the Northwest is on fire' for the Third party movement. He had several conferences and cam uses with Alliancemen during his visit to Raleigh. The Spartanburg Surtan says: "One of our citizens recently received a letter ! from a widow asking for dower in a cer tain piece of land which had been bought years ago. 1I< replied to her and ^avc her permission To enter upon and cut off as much of it as sae desired and enter into the use and enjoyment of the xame. That is perhaps the quickest and ? most unique dower settlement ever pro posed in this county." This is prac ti- | cally what the law contemplates. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has tiot yet sufficiently recovered from his attack of grip to resume his duties va thc Sen ate. He is able to l>e up. but is greatly reduced in flesh and strength. His phy sicians and friends urge him to take asea voyage or go home for rest and recupera tion; He prefers to go to Georgia and will probably stop at his home on ids return from New Orleans, where he goes to meet the United Confederate Veterans, of which organization he is at the head, on the sth proximo. He expects to leave Washington during the next few davs. The latest statistics show that there will be a decrease of from 40-to-50 per cent in th' fertilizer trade of Charleston as compai ed with last year. Frank E. Taylor, a prominent manufacturer, in a letter to the Nfu>? (aid Courier, says: "That there will be a decrease in the acreageof cotton seems to beclear, owing to the extremely conservative way in which all merchants throughout the entire South must necessarily conduct their business during the j.resent year, thus reducing tb a large extent the aid they have been in the habit of extending to the farmers, and hence restricting in theil acreages. Rev. Dr. James F. Latimer Professoi in Union Theological Seminary. Vir ginia, died on the 29th of February, ultimo. The Soutliem Presbyterian says he had been in feeble health for several years, o'ten seemingly at death's door; but recent reports had represented him as much better, and wc thought there was reason to believe that his useful life might be long continued tb his family and to the church. Dr. Latimer was born in Abbeville county, in this State, rom which became in 1S67 to the Colum bki"*Tlieological Seminary. Owing t<> the war he had not graduated at college before entering the seminary: but for some time ho diligent'-.' *nrl successfully -pursued his preparatory studies under the Rev. Dr. D. McNeill Turner. What ever lack there may have been from the absence of preliminary collegiate train ing he fully supplied by attending the University of T';rginia after he had fin ished his seminary course in 1S70, and still later by studying at the University of Leipsic, from which he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. During the whole of Dr. Latimer's ministerial life of tv en ty-two ye? rs he preached regularly whenever he was able to do so, not only when he was exclusively pastor, but also when at the university or pro fesser in college or seminary. World's Fair Convention; The World's Fair Convention, caltedby the Columbia Board of Trade, assembled in the Hall of. the House of Representa tives in that city on Thursday evening, the 10th instant. The attendance of delegates was not large. Mr. J. A. Enslow, of Charleston, was called to the chair, and Mr. Thomas W. Holloway elected Secretary. Mr. Enslow returned thanks for the honor conferred on him. He said Scuth. Carolina should be represented at the World's Fair at Chicago in 1S03. He was pleased that Carolina had received the gold medal at the Augusta Exposi tion, and hoped the Palmetto State would take a first place in the grand Columbian Exposition. Major J. C. Hemphill moved that the President appoint a committee of ten to report at once on a plan of organization for the work, Col. A. P. Butler to be Chairman o? the committee. The following committee was named: A. P. Butler, J. C. Hemphill, E. R. Mciver, Ellison Capers, F. A. Sale, Ste phen Thomas, R. A. Love, R. A. Thomp son, J. P. Thomas and J. A. Hoyt. The Committee on Organization re ported the following plan of organiza tion : That "a commission be constituted, to be composed of one man and one woman from each Congressional District, with the national officers as ex-officio members, to have charge of the work." Upon motion of Col. Mciver the plan was adopted. Major J. C. Hemphill then nominated the following commission: At large. Col. A. P. Butler and John R. Cochran; 1st District. J. A.

[Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer.] In a letter written to the editor of the State we lind the following declaration on the part of General Hampton, to which wc ask special attemtion: ? was glad to sec thc plan of n primary suggested by yon, and as you arc aware it is the one advocated by myself as thc only fair means of ascertaining the wishes of the peo ple. If thc "dominant party," as these members of the ring like to call themselves, refuse that demand of those opposed to them, my opin ion is that thc convention, which ;< to meet this month, should have a primary, and if the result shows, as I have no doubt it will, that the opponents of the present adminis tration arc in a majority, they, as the true Democratic party, should assume * -?ntrol, not only of the policy to be pursued in the approach ing canvass, but of the Stale itself. So far as it is an endorsement of the primary plan for ascertaining the wishes <>f the people, this statement of General Hampton meets with our hearty concur renee and will command the sympathy and respect of many thousands. The remainder of the paragraph, however, if wc correctly understand it. is fraughl with mischief, and especially in the poli tic.;] turmoil of the present day. General Hampton d?clares that, in the event of the demand for a primary being refused by the constituted authorities of tlie Democratic party, he is in favor of the March Convention ordering a pn j mary. If the result shows a majori*y against the present administration, lie would assume control, not only of the machinery of the Democratic party, but of thc State itself. This is our under standing of his position in the foregoing extract. It is also the meaning attached to his laiifruage hy others with whom ".ve have conversed, who aro his political and personal frier ds, and for this reason we have invited a careful perusal of bis statement. General Hampton has our admiration ir. thc highest degree for his past ser vices to the State. He has been true aid faithful in every position with which he has be;::- honored by the people. He has always shown a conservative spirit in dealing with public questions, and hence the surprise we feel at the remark able declaration -be now makes in coun seling the people in a trying emergency. It is in striking contrast with his pa?t record, and exMbits an extreme tendency to which we have believed he was an utter stranger.. ~ The declaration of General Hampton is dangerous and revolutionary. The March Convention has no right to order a primary for the whole party. It is the meeting of only a strong faction of the party, not of party itself, and whatever is done by the March Convention cannot possibly affect the relations of- others who do not recognize its leadership or follow its counsels. "Sb one except its followers would participate in such a pri mary, and the result would be only a cen sus of its own strength as a political fac tion. General Hampton seemingly rec ognizes this fact when he goes on to declare his purposes in the event a majo rity is shown on our side. He would assume con crol of the party policy and of the State itself. In our judi, aient, this declaration of purposes is not justified by our pobtical condition, however deplorable that con dition is at this moment, and it is the most unwise and inconsiderate counsel that has been given from any quarter. The March Convention cannot adopt such a suicidal policy," as it would be squarely in the face of its evident and chief purpose to harmonize the discord ant elements of the party. It would mean the final dissolution of the white man's party in South Carolina, and the speedy overthrow of the white man's supremacy in the government of this State. It would be the sheerest folly to proclaim such a purpose on the part of the March Convention, and we do not have the slightest conception that any gathering of sensible and patriotic citi zens would adopt such a course, after due and careful deliberation. Surely General Hampton has failed to express his true meaning in the extract from his recent letter, and yet thc sentences quoted are taken from the very begin ning of the letter, indicating a positive conviction and deliberate intention in the language employed. The World's Fair Convention at Colum bia, S. C., and the State's Outburst Against the Political Fanners of thc Palmetto State. [Correspondence KKOWKE COVKIKK.] Having been honored by the citizens of Oconce county, and Walhalla especially, to represent them at t he above mentioned convention, it becomes my duty to let them know what I ?aw and heard and what impression the convention has made on me. and vindicate the so-called ".poli I tical farmers" of South Carolina of the I charges the " Ringster Paper,'' The State, I has made against the farmers in its issue j of the 11th instant. I do not think the so-called political ! * mers of the State were represented in J the convention, except by the writer, if j he may be called one, on account of his j services rendered the Trustees of thc I Clemson Agricultural College, in making -j the State exhibit at the last Augusta Ex I position. j The political farmers were informed beforehand that the Ringsters intended I to capture the convention and would ap ! point the managers to suit themselves. ; and leave no honors to the political farm ! el's. It was therefore prudent for thc : latter to stay away from the convention and let them run the machine to suit themselves, which I must say the}- have di .ne admirably well, and to which the Ringster Rooster has loudly sung his praise, by saying in its issue of the 11th instant: "A. P. Butler. Manager at Large. There is the Department of Agriculture killed by political farmer Tillman vindi cated. ; "Wc congratulate the World's Fair Convention upon its wise and patriotic action. Let us all work together to aid , the men and women so well chosen to 1 advance the interests of South Carolina at the Columbian Exposition.*'* And further it says: "When it comes to looking after thc industrial interests of South Carolina you will observe that the old 'Ringsters' are put in the front . rank. Political farmers did not attend the convention last night, which did not promise ot ' e, but entailed hard work j for the State." Now as to nominating Col. A. P. Butler a uanager at large and the balance of the district managers and other officers, 1 assert that they really nominated them selves, and that the ticket had beon fixed before the convention was h 1, or in other words, was a exit and dried om-. As an individual I have nothing to say against the honored ones, bul as a citizen of the Piedmont Belt it strikes me most forcibly that this most favored section of the State has'been literally ignored and left without any manager at all, which I consider an insult. The division into Congressional Dis tricts I consider not only a great mistake j but a total failure, as the Counties vf York, Spartanburg. Greenville, Lauren -, Pickens, Oconce, Anderson and Abbe ville are slighted in thc list of general managers, which can be easily observed in looking over the same: Col. A. P. Butler. Aiken, Manager at Large: J. E. Enslow, Charleston. 1st Congressional District; Harry Hammond. Beach Island. 2d Congressional District; T. W. Holloway, Pomaria. 'id Congres : sional District; Dr. W. J. Murray, Colum bia, 4th Congressional District; R. A. ' Love, Chester, 5th Congressional District; E. R. Mciver, Darlington, 6th Congres ; sional District: W. H. Lockwood, Beau , fort, 7th Congressional District. I want t put these questions to the South Carolina World's Fair Ringster ; Machine: L What part of the State has most ; liberally contributed to the New Orleans Exposition ? 2. What part of the State can give the ; most inducements to invest capital and induce immigration ? ? j 3. What part of the State has the most genial climate and fertile soil ? , ; 4. What part of the State has the most \ magnificent forests and more numerous varieties of timber? i 5. What part of the State has the most j different kinds and richest mineral de ' posits and quarries ? j ?'. Where can be found the grandest water powers that might be utilized in running machinery, and in what part of the State can you find the most diversi fied farming and fruit culture ? . Will you not agree with me in answer ing, it is the Piedmont Belt ? Will you stubbornly insist that the citizens of tins section have not brains, muscle and pa triotism enough to act for themselves, ' but have to be dictated to from the banks of the Congaree or Cannon Creek iii New berry county ? There are no better and more patriotic citizens found in any section of the State than in this favored Piedmont Belt, but the " political farmers' '* shoe is pinching the " Ringsters.'* Shall political stifc and ill feeling keep us apart in this grand and noble work in : having our S^te f tilly represented in company with ncr sister States at the Columbian World's Fair ? i Fellow-citizens of South Carolina, and you, the managers, forget politics, give j ?is recognition, or else the ".political farmers " of the Piedmont section may forget their duties to the State and will not" participate in this noble work. Let us work as a united people and show to the world that we are not stub born and blind enough to be divided on account of politics in her own interest in showing her own resources and advanta ges at the Columbian gathering of na tions. G. WAX.VER, Secretary State Horticultural Society. YIXE HILL VINEYARDS, ) NEAR WALHALLA, S. C.. [ March 15,1S92. ) Colonel Orr to the Rescue. [Greenville Daily News.] Colonel Orr was elected Chairman of the meeting held at Greenville on Satur day last, for the purpose of sending dele gates to the March Convention. In tak ing the chair he thanked the meeting for the unexpected compliment and made a short speech which aroused much enthu siasm. 'His remarks were to the point and were listened to attentively. He said he was not taking part in the move I ment for unity and harmony for ofuce. ! He wanted no oi:5ce and was not irving to foist upon tue people a candidate of his own. He was willing to work for any good man who tries to restore harmony in the Democratic ranks. " The first question, he said, is whether the Democratic voters want a continua tion of the present administration. "For my part," Colonel Orr said. *'I want none of it and I would a3 soon give my reasons now as at any time. I bear Gov ernor Tillman personally no ill will, but he has not kept his promises to the peo ple of South Carolina. He obtained office bj* false pretences and misrepresen tations and does not pretend that he has carried out his pledges. He says we have not given him a Legislature which would i carry out his promises. As long as the white people of South Carolina maintain the honor and respect of the State they would never elect a Legislature that would be the tool of Tillman or any other man." [Loud applause.] Tillman has arraigned class against class, Colonel Orr said, and has not car ried out the objects of the farmers' movement. The speaker said he did not propose to abuse Tillman, but regarded him as open to criticism. Tillman prom ised to reduce taxation and cut down unnecessary offices. He had not done it. Ce pr ..mised to equalize taxation, ne had not done it. What has he done that he promised'.' *T claim that he is trying to abolish the whole system of State government," asserted the speaker. In j his last message to the Legislature he I attempted to ride over the judiciary and held Judge Wallace up to ridicule. Measured by intelligence or any other test Tillman was not worthy to unlatch the shoes of William H. Wallace. [Loud applause.] He had held up to scorn and j contempt the judiciary of South Carolina i to the Legislature. Then when the Leit j islature did not do to suit him lie also j held them up to thc contempt of the j people. He designated them as drift j wood because they had the manhood to ! do what *.hey thought was right He is j attempting to coerce the two most im ! portant branches of the government and to be dictator of South Carolina, j "What had beeu his financial managc ! ment?" Colonel Orr asked. Before he I was elected Governor .South. Carolina ! bonds were selling at 102^. Now they are selling at 96. Instead ot funding the Stite debt at 4? per cent, it will probably not be done for less t han ~> or 0. That will take money out of elie pockets of the people. He bad started a war of law suits and litigation from which the State may not be freed in years. Ile had gone ahead in a bull headed way and brought on law suits which will cost the State thousands of dollars. Between $200,000 and $300, : <>o0 ts due from the railroads. Thc Coo I saw fight had lost to the Suite ?125,000 j per annum. Colonel Orr explained the ! propositiv n of the Coosaw Company to j continue work until the case was decided. ! The oiler had been refused and thc I royalty from thc company lost to the ! State. Ile put it to his hearers as a plain j business matter. If two of them had a j farm in disput would one run all the ? tenants off and let the land lie idle foi j years*.' Would he not rather by agree ment keep the property in use. allowing I the returns to accumulate for the benefit of whichever side won. I Tillman said in his inaugural address , that he was in favor of a rigid railroad ?law. Ile said be wanted a Commission i to !>e elected by thc people or the Legis I lature. The Legislature passed a strin ! gent law which would have controlled I aud-iv-giiJated the charges of the_ rail j roads. It didn't become a law because j Tillman vetoed it on thc pretext that il ? did not give the ??. opie the right to elect I the Commission and gave the railroad? the right to appeal. The next sessiot the House passed another stringent law, It went to the Senate and would have i been passed but foran amendment whicl: j Tillman had put in. Thc Governor sai< j when a candidate that any man wh< j took a fr*-e pass was being bribed. Ii I was not three months after he waselecte< ! untii he had one and an express frank. Did that account for his vetoing the rail , road bill? Was he bamboozled? [Ap : phrase.] Colonel Orr asked what reform of the farmers1 movement had Tillman helper in. The movement had not been wort! a row of pins until the Farmers' Alliance took hold of it. Tillman could nevei have made the movement prominent bul for the Alliance. Then after he wa? elected he sold out the Alliance. Don aldson and Stokes were candidates foi the Senate. Tillman slaughtered both and put in irby, who had not the inter ests or purposes of the Alliance at heart Colonel Orr named several position1! where Tillman had defeated Alliance candidates and supported men opposed tc the Alliance. The speaker said he elk not understand why the Alliance woulc stand by a man who had turned his baci on the Order. He concluded by sum marizing what Tillman has done and bas not done. The speech was punctuated with frequent applause and won foi Colonel Orr congratulations from even side. The following resolutions were offeree by A. B. Williams: "/iiWr"/, That we. Democratic voters of Greenville county, believe the prescr vation of the Democratic party organiza tion intact to bc necessary for the con tinuance ol white supremacy and pledge ourselves in all our political action tc yield to the will of thc majority of on: fellow Democrats as expressed at- the primaries. "Resolved, That we are now, as we have always been, in full sympathy witl the original principles and purposes o: thc farmers" movement, believing those principles and purposes to tend to the safety of our party, the unity of oui people and the prosperity and progress of our State: and that our delegates be instructed, if nominations are decider upon at the convention at Columbia, te support for State officers such men as are in open sympathy with the real purposes of the farmers' movement. '*/r>Wced, That in our judgment the i course of Governor Tillman bxs not beer such as to promote the harmony of the people or the good of the State, the partj or the farmers' movement. "Hexvhed, That we call on all Demo crats to unite with us in the work o: getting our people and the factions o: our party together and securing a safe orderly and conservative administratior of our affairs." The resolutions were adopted. Ladies are Unfortunate, Because the higher they rise in societj the weaker they find themselves bodily.
