The Democratic State Convention Met in Columbia on Wednesday at noon. Dr. Sampsoa Pope, of Newberry, was made temporary and permanent chairman. Gov. Tillman w:is renomi nated by a vote of 2i'A to 50.

He said this convention was different from any other that had ever assembled in the State, in that they came direct from the people. The chief issue in the campaign was whether or not he should be re-elected, but the people had again ??laced the banner of pure Democ racy in his hands. Ile wished to extend to those who had opposed lum the right hand of fellowship, and hoped all would work together for the good of the State. This elicited thunderous applause. Seneca Items. SXNKCA. s. C.. September'21, 1892. DKAK COURIKK: When the Board of Trade elected the cotton weigher for this place some lime ago they passed a reso lution requiring him to give bond for faithful performance of his duty. Since then A seems that a great many persons const rued this to be in the interest of thc cotton buyer and against thc seller. The Board met yesterday and annulled its former action, because of the misunder "stau?uig, st> that now the cotton weigher | is on his honor sworn to weigh justly and correctly. The Cowan meetings are still going on, but will close next Sunda}'. The attend ance hasn't been so large this week on account of the bad weather. The meeting in the Baptist chinch closed last Saturday morning. Three young persons made a public profession of religion, while considerable interest was manifested by others. Mr. Mercer made a fine impression on Seneca people. Democrats here were somewhat sur prised to hear delegates to the State Democratic Convention express them selves that they would as soon have Har rison for Presidentas to have Cleveland. One or two of them stated that they were in favor of thc Third Party. These seem to bc a strange kind of delegates to go to a Democratic Convention. Miss Snow, of Oxford. Ala., is stopping at the Keowee Hotel with Mrs. Frank Cary. Mr. W. A. Ramsey luis gone to Elber ton, Ga., to buy cotton this season. Col. L. S.

ThoCarter Merchandise Co., Westminster, S. C. ! The Tugaloo Association-The Hand of Improvement-Other Jiotes j from Georgia. j - NKW ERA, GA., September i?, l&tt. Dr.AM COURIER: Tugaloo Association convened with Pleasant Grove church, and though the day was so inclement, succeeded in organizing. To the close ohsen>.r political wire-pulling could be seen cropping out, but after some "she nanagan" Rev. E. A. Keese was elected moderator by a small majority over Dr. Underwood. This campaign year had, no doubt, something to do with the change, and if we are correct in this, the Democratic ? *ty is in the majority, though the Third Party is pretty strong. Rev. A. E. Eeese is from Southwest Georgia, and has been a professor in sev eral high schools in his section. His wonderful powers as a teacher, as well as theological training, make him a very able presiding officer. "When we con sider that Dr. Underwood is our Repre sentative and is known as an M. D. as well as D. D., and that he has ably pre sided over the Tugaloo Association, all this TTialrp?- th?, -hoiee more complimen tary to the present incumbent. '.Tugaloo'' is a household word. Our grandfathers and fathers and their chil dren have learned to love the name, and now the long to be remembered old body is passing into the hands of the fourth generation. This body of churches once embraced the territory of the Fork-Bea verdam Association. How the popula tion of this section has increased.' How its progress has advanced ! The Western gales have again taken the place of the sickening East winds, and the dew drops sparkle like gems of emerald. All nature smiles with bright, breezy, bracing overtures to the languid physique and we are again reminded we are entering the fall equinox. Mr. J. N. Edwards is receiving his great driving wheel for the Shoal Creek Cotton mill The abaft TS cast and weighs :J..">00 pounds, and when completed will contain 7.000 feet of lumber. We hail these improvements, the key note to a more prosperous indication of the South. When the hum of spindles is heard at every turn, cotton, the grandest staple the world ever knew, will then be duly appreciated. We claim that it clothes and feeds more people than all other products. When we raise our own cot ton and manufacture it into cloth the South is bound to assert her power. She will inscribe her name high in the com mercial and financial marts. Then we hope to hear no more of there being more money in tobacco tba n i a cotton, since we are admonished tobe "content wi: h food and raiment.*' The Elberton Air Line is making improvements. Here is again another grand precursor of improvement, our railroads. When "Hamp" Vickery, the efficient engineer on the Elberton Air Line Railroad, pulls the throttle we hear the euphonious sound of the duplex or gong whistle. The engineer becomes attached to hjv?pgine, the iron horse, just as the lovers of fine stock do their hprse. We are to have no more mixed trains and Capt. Garrett feels proud that he is conductor of a train unencumbered with freight. This road trarerses one of the finest sections of Northeast Georgia. Its termini tap tw . of the finest roads tn the South, the R. & D. and the C. G. & X. These ridge sections are fast com ing into repute, and when the intensive plan of farming and the Third Party give everybody "a mule and forty acres" (?) how this country will "bristle." But, jesting aside, the broad gauge is a neces sity, and we venture before another sea son huge trains will take the place of the narrow gauge. So mote it be. Large contracts are being given for cross-ties, the section hands have been increased and everything seems to indicate an improvement, whether we fall into the hands of thc Third Party or remain Democratic. Railroads are a necessity and we are bound to hear the scream of the iron horse, no matter who is Presi dent. Prof. Moss is dead. He had been enlisted in thc cause pf teaching many years, and many poof boys and girls of Lavenia owe their enlightened, minds and prosperity to his efforts. I am thrice happy to see Bro.

Cowan, an evangelist from Georgi: To-night there were 1,2<>0 people in an around his tent. He preached upon th compromise suggested by Pharaoh t Moses, and in his application referred t the past political issues, saying our pe< pie were under the bondage of sin and th devil, and asked why they did not thro' off thc bondage of sin as they did th bondage of our old ring rule. He also referred to the comments of tl press upon his being refused a renewal ( his license, and said it was sprung upc the quarterly conference without tl knowledge of his friends, and warns tl press to note the action of the next ?pia terly conference, where he lives. He also referred to thc action of oi I district conference, held in Seneca, whk passed a resolution prohibiting ai preacher from inviting any evangelist to preach in any of our churches withoi the consent of the presiding elders. This, he says, is tending to Popish dc trines, and says all this fight is made put down the doctrine of "holiness.'' The town people do not go out en mas to hear this preacher. Most of his co gregations aro country people. I a pursuaded that Rev. Cowan is doing great work for the Lord in and aroui our town. He pays special attention to the soci club ana* to the church members w] belong to it, and the church membe who rents the building where it is run.

NEED OK THE GOSPEL IX INDIA. j [Correspondence EEO WEE COURIER.] I will give for a few weeks a brief com pilation of the condition and social status of women in India. These will be very condensed. The condition of God's topmost piece of creation and man's helpmate may be known to many of your readers, but there may be some whose heart would be moved and would be more zealous in sending the light among these benighted people. The women of all savages .re slaves, but probably there is not a more oppressed class than the women of India Whatever may be her rank there is a dark shadow over her from the cradle to the grave. Degrada tion is heaped upon her and sorrow is measured by the number of her days. Many of them are murdered in infancy and it would be far better for themselves if each could end her existence then. In some cities no girls are found, they hav ing been openly murdered. "While the number of males and females in America are about equal, Dr. Butler gives the ratio of 36 girls to 100 boys in India. The infants are generally killed by the mothers; sometimes by poisoning; others casting them in the Sacred river, or swung in a tree for the birds and ants to devour. Custom overcomes all maternal effections... How black mus:; be the dark ness of their spiritual abode when humanity sinks so far below the brute. The mother offers her child to Kalee, the most powerful deity of Bengal. Calcutta is the metropolis of the country; received its name from Kalee. Often when moth . TS are afflicted thay oifer up their chil dren that the gods may by appeased and the chastisements staid. The aristocratic class, who give very costly marriages to their daughters and provide them rich dowries, cannot alford to have more than one or two or else they will not bc able to marry them off and then both will be hopelessly disgraced. Hence woe to the younger daughters! N'ext I will say something of marriage. There is considerable sickrwrKS through out the country in the form of typhoid and pneumonia fever. Some few cases have proven fatal. Good rains have prevailed and the tur nip crop, though late, is making rapid strides to do something before winter approaches. Prof. Moss, ol' Lavonia, whom the peo ple of Fair Play were aiming to secure as their teacher for another year, died on the 12th instant, and they are without a teacher for another year.
