Henderson suggested that the Congressional can didates might find it opportune to talk about available Presidential can didates, and to give the audience their views upon tho choioo of a can didate. Tbo suggegstion was not ac cepted and the choice of Presidential material was left to others. The four candidates for Congress wisely have nothing to say on a topic that has no bearing upon their race. The fact of tho mater is thoy, like most other folks, are very much at bea as to who can best lead the Demoorats to success. It has been my lot to go out into the State a good deal within tho last few weeks. I have visited the eastern as well as the western part of the Stats and talkod with many persons about the choice of a Presi dential candidate by tho Democratic party. There is unquestionably a very strong sentiment in South Caro lina in favor of the nomination of Grover Cleveland as the Democratic candidate. "Hats!" some may suggest, who remain cooped up in their offices ?md who have not boon out in t1 j State, and who have not taken the trouble to mako proper inquiry. The people of this State aro des perately in earnest in their desiro to defeat Mr. Roosevelt, and they be lieve that Grover Cleveland is the roan to defeat Roosevelt. It is not that tho whito people love Mr. Clove land or bis typo so much, but that they love Roosevelt loss and they want a winner. Tho Bryan wing of the Democrats party many years ago denounced Mr. Cleveland in the State Democratic Convention, and they sent a delegation to the Nomina ting Convention that would have bolted in all probability bad Mr. Cleveland or any of his friends been nominated. Things have changed ! Why have they changed so wonder fully ? Thc wholo explanation, to my mind, is in thc little dinnerparty between President Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington, and the ap pointment of Dr. Crutn as collector of Charleston against the protest of tho people of Charleston. It is primarily the Booker Washing ton incident that has worked thc peo ple of this State, as I seo it, to the pitch of accepting Mr. Cleveland if need be to accomplish the defeat, not of Mr. Roosevelt, not of the Repub licans, but of tho man who wined and dined with a colored man. That is tho whole situation. TIIK PARKBRAND ll KARST ADVOCATES. The people think well of Judge Parker, and it is a mistake to suggest that Mr. Hearst is without his friends and admirers, but there is not the same reliance in their winning quali ties as in Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland's views aie still obnoxious to many in this State, but his crowning glory to these same people is that ho has no Booker Washington incident, and he has "knocked the spots" ont of such tajk in his recent card relative to Thomas Watson, and he is looked upon as a winner just at this time. Tho Democratic party in South Carolina will vote for the nominee of tho party, regardless of whom it may be. This State will go for Parker, or Gorman, or Cleveland, or Hearst, or X. Y. Z., should any one of them be nominated at thc Democratic Con vention. It might not have done so in tho nineties, but it will do so now that Mr. Roosevelt's negro policy is fixed. There are many in this State who have all along believed in and admired Mr. Cleveland, but they have been in a minority in the con trol of tho party. They aro to-day as enthusiastic admirers of Mr. Cleve land as they have ever been, and, added to this leaven are those who look upon Mr. Cleveland as the most hopeful candidate against Mr. Roose velt. If the Democratic Convention were held to-morrow instead of in thc middle of May, my impression is that the delegation from South Caro lina to the St. Louis Convention would go without instructions, to do tho very best it could when it reaches the Convention. It is quite likely that such will bo tho programme when the Stnto Convention is held, as tho disposition seems to be strongly in favor of making sacrifices so as to get a winner and to place thc negro question above ail others. THK RACE QUESTION PARAMOUNT? The outside world has but little idea of the intensity of tho feeling on the race question in this State. There are those who insist that there is no race question ; those who urge that things will settle themselves. They might do so and there might be no race question if Mr. Roosevelt were not President, and others who believe like him did not stir tilings up. If left alone, there is no daugor, but if stirred up from tho outside there is danger to both sides and those who have most to do with the colored man aro the ones who are mostly Impressed with this idea. There. is no purpose in this to boom Mr. Cleveland or to suggest that ho would get tho voto of the delegation from this State, but > the point is to show how greatly the feeling against him has subsided, and why there arc many who wa*it him nominated-men who, years ago would have rather voled for tho dovil than to have voted for Grover Cleve land. In all of my tnlk I heard just ono mari who said ho would rather have Mr. Roosovelt for President than Mr. Cleveland, and his view was that four moro years of Roosevelt would so "work upon tho people that there would be a completo chango in tho government.-August Kohn, in News and Courier. Tho following is given as a good remedy for whooping cough : Mix a tablespoonful eaoh of honey and sweet oil and a teaspoonful of tincture lobelia, and give at the rato of a tea spoonful to a four-year-old child, more or less according to age. Tinc ture of lobelia is good by itself, given in doses from ten to fifteen drops. "Wil?io," said hi? mother, **? wish you would run across the street and seo how old Mrs. Brown is this morn ing." A few minutes later Willie re* turned and reported : "Mm, Brown says it's none of your business how old she is." The ticket seller in one of Philadel phia's theatres tells this on himself : The other night he refused a tioket to a man who was somewhat intox i cated. "What's matter?" asked the appli cant. "Well, if you really want to know, you'er drunk," aaid the other. The would be play-goer gathered up his money with dignity. "Of cou rsc Pm drunk," he said cheerfully. "I woulden't oome here to see this play if I were sober, would I ?" Not long since, in a Miaaiaaippi court, a colored man sued a neighbor for damages for killing his dog. Colonel M.,defendant'8 lawyer, called Sam Parker, a negro, to provo that the dog waa a worthless cur for whose destruction no damngo ought to be recovered. "Sam, did you know this dog?" Colonel M. asked. "Yes, sah, I wer' pussonally m quninted wid dat dog. "Well, toll the jury what sort of a dog he was," said Colonel M. "Ile wer' a big yaller dag." "What was ho good for?" Co loud M. asked. "Well, he wouldn't hunt; he wouldn't do gyard duty ; he jes lay 'round au' oat. Dat mako 'em oall him wat doy did." "Well, sir, what did they call him ?" asked Colonel M. "Dey oall him 'Lawyer' sah." In a Missouri town, Squire II. was defending a physician in a Btiit brought by a negro who wanted damages, his wife having died shortly after an operation. .. When it carno Squire IPs turn to croBS-examine the plaintiff, he asked : "Mr. Wilson, how old was your wifo whoo she died?" "About forty-five, sir." "Beou in feeble health a long time, had she not, Mr. Wilson, and cost a great deal for medicine and holp?" "Yes, sir." "You have married again, have you not?" "Yes, sir." "How old is your present wife?" "About thirty-five, sir." "Is she stout and healthy, Mr. Wilson ?" "Yes, air." "Then, Mr. Wilson, will you please state to this jury how you aro damaged in this case ?" Mr. Wilson could make no answer. Thc good and true men thought he had made rather a good thing by his bereavement. Bishop Spalding is a recognized friend of labor and labor organiza tion, but ho expressed an opinion of strikes before a IIouso committee at Washington tho other day which would hardly lead one to beliovehim to be so. "Thc strike," Bishop Spading is quoted as saying, "is hell." Tho expression is rather moro emphatic than ecclesiastical, but it will not be denied that it says quito a deal pf what it was intended to say. At school little Charlie, being one of the geography class, was deeply interested in learning the points of the compass. Said the teacher : "You have in front of you the north ; on your right, tho east ; on your left, the west. What have you behind you ?" After a momont's reflection, Charlie exclaimed : "A patch on my pants." And to make tho informa tion moro binding, Charlie continued ina shamefaced manner : "I knew you'd sec it. I told mamma you would." Martin J. Wade is the only Demo crat in tho House from Iowa. In explanation of thc attitude of many Republicans of Iowa toward Gov. Cummins' view on thc necessity of ?tdjusting the tariff rates to meet changed conditions, Mr. Wado said tho people of hisSlato were like the fellow who sat at the doorstep of his homo ono winter morning about 2 o'clock when a policeman came along. "What ?are you doing herc?" in quired the guardian of the peace. Thc man replied : "I am just think ing." "Well," said tho policoman, "get in or you or you will freeze to death. What are you thinking about?" "I was just thinking," replied the man, "whether I would go in and get killed, or whether I would stay out herc and freeze to death." According to Mr. Wade, tho peo ple of Iowa are not duly thinking like tho man alluded to, but they aro realizing a great truth expressed in a case where a man was taken to an insane asylum in that State. In reply to the inquiry why ho was sent there, the man said : "They sent me here because Pm a tariff reformer and votod tho Repuhli jan ticket." "Oh, that's a shame," remarked the questioner. "You should not have been sent here. This is tho placo for thu insane. You are noth ing but a-fool." OABT?nXA.

Adams Must Hang. Columbia, April ll.-Tho Supremo (nini handed down two important deci sions in tho case of R. A. Adams, a while man, ennvioted in Colinton county for thu killing of llonry Jacques, also white, in February, 1003, and sentonced to hang. Whon tho vordiot was roudorod an appoal was taken to the Supremo Court on tho ground of orror in tho admission of oor iain ovidouco ami error in tho chargo to tho jury. Tho case was argued in tho Supremo Court somo timo ago, tho Stato being represented by tho Attorney Gene ral and tho Defendant by nowell & Grubor and J. M. Walker. Tho decision to-day simply affirms tho finding of the lowor Court for sentence to be pro nounced. Tho other caso was that of O. W. Buchanan, former Circuit Judgo, against 1 tho Stato for back salary, alleged to bo duo. 'Tho law reducing tho salary of a Circuit Judgo from $3,500 to $3,000 wont into effect about tho timo of tho election of Mr. Iluchanan, and tho Plaintiff claimed that as tho law waa passed aftor his election ho was duo $000 a year, it being uneonst ii ut ional to reduco tho salary of a man whilo in oflico. Tho Court, however, rules that the law took effect before tho Plaintiff was olected. It also rules that the Legislature refused to approvo tho claim, it having boen before that body and that thereforo it was not within tho powers of tho Court to order it paid and also that tho caso was a direct ono against the Stato and that tho State could not bo sued under tho circumstances. Thereforo, tho appeal was dismissed. A HAPPY HOME Is one where health abounds. With Impure blood there cannot be good health. With a disordered LIVER there cannot be good blood.

Convention Points. Now that delegates aro hoing olected ;o tho Republican and Democratic N ional Conventions, tho following fact ?viii probably give many persons a bettor understanding of tho political situation: Republican Stato Conventions oloct inly delegates at largo-four from oach itato-tho remaining dologates being simson by Congressional District Con ??entions-two from each district. Domo ?ratio State Conventions elect both th Iclegatos at largo and tho Congressional )?8trict delegates, only tho latter dele gates usually named by tho delegates to itato Conventions from thoir respectivo Congressional Districts. Republioan Stato Conventions aro not illowod to instruct delegates from their States to voto as a unit. Tho unit rulo n Republican Stato Conventions was mashed about tho timo of tho "stalwart lalf-brced fight." Democratic State JonvontioiiB havo tho right to instruct lolegatos to vote as a unit, but they do lot always exorcise thia- right, They dion profer that delegates Bhall bo loft o act as they may doom best. The candidates for President and Vice ?res)dent are chosen in Republican Na ional Conventions by a majority voto of he delegates. In Democratic National Conventions a two-thirds voto is neces . ary to tho nomination of tllCRO CiUldi latos. Democratic candidates for ProBi lent and Vico President were CIIOBOII by National Convention, although it is in bo power of a majority of dolegates to eseind this rule at any timo it BOOB flt.

By sn act of the South Carolina Legis, lature, which went loto effect on Feb may SC, there was o rested in the State a Department of Agriculture, Corus>??w? and Immigration. E. J. Watson, of Co lumbia, a representative of the Dew g?n?ration of energetic young business mon, who are the itupelling force bask of the recent awakening of Southern in dustries and commercial aotivity, has been seleoted by Governor Hey ward as the first commissioner of the uew depart ment. ' Hr. Watson bas been in New York for several days on business conneoted with lils offloe. Thin summer be will make a trip to Den mark,Norway, Sweden and Germany, with a view to presenting the advantages of South Carolina as a field for the desirable class of immigrants who come from those countries Speak lng of his visit to New York and of the eircumetauoeB whloh led to the oreatlou of the department of whloh he is the head, Mr. Watson said: "My prononce in New York at this time is due to the new conditions that havo arisen in the Middle South, and it it uo unmeaning errand, considered lo the light of the development of the coun try. Tho rapid development of Southern manufacturing aud the consequent lob Mug of tlie fields of the white tenant farmer clase, the demonstration given last fall of the dependency of the cotton manufacturing interests on the South for raw material, not alone in this country, but abroad-these and tho tendonoy of the negro to movo to the oenters of popu lation and thenoe to the East are th three essentials to be oonsldered. "lt is perhaps a strange, and yet not | imex neel ed, condition that the ve; y rapid devolopmont of the manufacturing in dustry in the South-particularly in my State-should result lu injury to agricul tural interests. Tho explanation, how ever, is easy. When we went ahead and put noarly $40,000,000 into cotton mills, which could only be operated with white labor, for reasons it ts uot neoesBary to discuss, we simply robbed our fields of the white tenant farmer elliss and left tho agricultural interests in such a con dition aa to demand the attention of the | State governmout. Then oamo a move i of Sully and Ilrown, which has revealed to tho whole cotton manufacturing world its dependency n pou the col ton growing States of this country, accentuating the acuteno8B8 of a situation already soen and realized. Tho farmers fared well and they have profited. Now they real ize their powor and their opportunity, but they find themselves without tho necessary labor, and intelligent labor they must have. They consequently want something and want it quickly. "Another phase of this situation is the negro question. Our farmers have al ways had plenty of negro labor on their places. To-day they aro crying for labor with which to work their orops. Having lost the white tenant, farmer for the misons nssignod, they have Buffered the additional partial loss of the nogro farm laborer. This is due to tho fact that the UCgro'S t end ency, lil our State at least, ill tho last fow years bas boon, first, to soek tho larger contres of population and com merce. In the cities ho finds himself poorly olad. Irregularly and ill fed and a natural victim of immorality-the conse quent sufferer from diseases which tend to balance the death and birth rate. Again, this tendonoy is to sock railroad construction camps and to move North and Mast . Tho exemplification of this can bo most strikingly found in Wash ington and Baltimore and oven hero in New York, tho increase in tho negro population in tho first two cities having boen roached in the last two or throe years. "All of those things havo combiued together with tho appearance of tho boll weovil in Texas to awaken the agricul tural interest s of tho South to a realiza tion of tho faot that something must bo done. Tho great need is white Bottlers from this country and abroad. My State has soon tho situation, and that is why I am bore. Our farmers know that tho boll wovil, unless an insect to destroy him is discovered, ?B likely to cross tho Mississippi rivor at any momont and do what Sully has douo tli?B year, with tho additional feature that tho offeot on prices will bo permanent. They know that if tho weevil does como prices will remain bi);'1, and that tho danser of the pest ?8 an el einem in the situation. They realize that they want diversified and intensified farming, and, knowing this, thoy havo succeeded in establiahing, near tho heart of tho State, diversification farm No. 1, by tho Federal government, under tho boll weevil appropriation. "Further, knowing tho need of in!elli gent labor, the State has established its Department of Agriculture, Commerce ann Immigration, at tho hoad of which I havo bi on placed for four years, with tho vinw of inducing desbalde investments sud settlors from North Europoan and American points to como to South Caro lina-tho real garden spot, of the world, possessing a soil nud climate producing some crop tho year round. Wo have thousands of acres of land lying idle at tin . i uno, and n is the province of the new department to .bring about their development. "The department lins been fashioned upon thc best features of national and Slate departments of liko nature, and tho scope is broad enough to admit of its handling any conditions that may arise nfTecting industrial development. "I nm hero now to sot the ball in mo tion toward getting that which we BO greatly need-intelligent white labor of Saxon origin. Tho work, BO far, is of constructivo character, but 1 trust lt will ho prolific of genuine rcHiilts. I am dealing with all having any interest in tho situation that is attracting attention to tho Middle South-the Southern Franco of America-and thus far effec tively. I am trying to seo all who aro intci i-steil in any way, for I fool that tiloso who invest or sciit le In South Caro lina havo a bright future awaiting them. Whoo tho waste places havo boen popu lated tho act under which we aro operati ng is BO constructed that wo can turn un attention to other plans of develop ment as tho necessity for thom arises."

Cockran for Cleveland. Washington, April 12.-Bourke Cock ran, whoso attacks on Grovor Clevolnud at the Democratic National Convention of 1802, has rarely been equalled in bit tornesB, is out to-day in a statement favoring tho nomination of Mr. Cleve land -for Prosidont this year. Spoaking as a Tammany mau, ho says that tho party should stick to Cleveland as tho only' mau who can bring Democratic vic tory. Mr. Cockran rejoots Judgo Parker as au unknown quantity. Ho says: "I have road Mr. Cleveland's state ment, but bis expression of viewB should not chango tho attitudo of any ono who has heretofore believed that lie should bo nominated at St. Louis. Dem?crata, who have favored the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, still havo precisely tho samo reasons for favoring it. "No ono supports him as a matter of personal favor to him or for him. It is not a question of Mr. Clovoland'B gratifi cation or glorification. It is not a matter of what any one may think of Mr. Cleve land as au individual man. No question of personality is involved. It all involves the ono principio of political expediency. "Tho quostiou is, can wo win? I think nearly ovory ono bolievoB wo will if we nominate Mr. Cleveland. It is almost absolutely certain that ho can carry Now York ano: tho country. It is not certain that Judgo Parker can do so. "Judge Parker," continuod Mr. Cock ran, "I havo tho honor to know. Ho is a man of exemplary personal and politi cal character. Ho is a lovablo man in ovory respect. If I alono could mako a President by simple word or act I would mako ono of Jungo Parker. But I can not. I can Bimply contribute as a single Democrat, and, viowing tho situation from tho standpoint of such, I think Mr. Cleveland is tho ono man who can cer tainly carry tho country. Judgo Parker may carry it; Mr. Cleveland would carry it. "Mr. Cleveland, in my opinion, can carry tho States of New York, Now Jor soy, Connecticut, Delaware and Illinois, beyond a doubt, and probably ah o thc .states of Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.

Murphy, tho loader of Tammany Hall, h ono of them. Ho and they support Mr. Cleveland, because it, is thought that with him at the head of the ticket wo can win. Mr. Murphy, I bo lieve, docs not give a snap of his linger tor tlie mero subject of personality. Mr. Murphy, I think, realizes th ?it if Mr. c le ve hm d woro elected, Tammany, as an organization, could expect nothing at his hands. Yet Tammany is prepared to support him in convention, because it believes that at tho fall election, if ho is nominated, another great party victory can bo won, and of that tho fruits would bo on joyed by all good Democrats. "Thus it is plain that in supporting Mr. Cleveland Tammany and others who beliovo his nomination necessary aro not actuated by motives of a personal or sol llsh character. Thoso who want Mr. cleveland assiimo that attitudo in tho interest of tho party at largo. They want tho Do uoor-its. Iq power and they beliovo Mr. Cleveland is tho only means by which Democrats can secure that power. "I have no idea that Mr. Cleveland is a candidate. I do not know whether ho would accopt tho nomination if it were tendered to him. Yet that duos not affect my viow of tho caso. Tho lade? pendent men of Republican leanings, who distrust Mr. Roosevelt, want to vote against, him, and if Mr. Cleveland is nominated will do so. Whether they Would BllOW resent ment if Mr. Cleveland is set aside, by voting against tho party that discards him, no ono can say. But while ho I cn ia I us the OHO man who can ?.ec ni e victory ho cannot eliminate him self. "It is not within his power to do so. Ho cannot compel poonlo who believe ho is thc .strongest candidato to cease choir Advocacy of his nomination. The funda mental belief would still obtain, though ho were to declaro that ho would not accopt tho non (nation if tendered to him. "Whether ho would accept if actually nominnted ho must decree for himself Thoso who beliovo him to bo tho strong est man will havo discharged their duty when they have voted for him in conven tion. Judgo Parker may bo nominated, but that will not affect tho view of thoso who beliovo Mr. Clovoland tho strongest naudidnto.
