The opera houtis in which the rneLing was held was well filled by about 700 people, most of whom was from the country.

What has prodciCal this revolution ? I say in soberness and truth that by every measure in our power we have driven %i r rocl-it, !o Ihe culture of cot (,I aone. 1ow ? Oije of thi greatest causes was the eilactetit of the lien law. The enactment of this law placed credit on i he crop before it ii planted. It placed the man of character and the n11an without ii on the same- plane. The honest, and dishouest, the iitelligent and ignorant, the induitrious and lazy, were all placed on th same level. It, placed the value of thie crop in the hands of those who did the buying, and all weit to planting cotton ieciuise debts were payable in cotton. Tlle Legislature is largely responsible for the condition of cottol. The effect has been to make cotton the crop to buy everything else with, and t,his, together 'w ithi the rental sys temi, brought about the enactmentof tihe stock law. Trhe people said we can't make money out of stock, so why keep up t,he fenice:, amil so the stock law canWe. St.ock raising disappeared and people turned t heir attention more anuli mol' ho cotton. Other ills have followed the culture of cot toni. Onec is the incre :sed use of fertilizers. Every year we pay over $3,000,000. Th(ere is nio rotat ion? of cropis, and noi :.t templt to ireservye thle luia. We kill grass inne nionths in t.he year and then buiy Northiern hay.

Subsequent events, however, proved that the meeting was devoid of special sensational features, amld that very little of importance was done. The rules about which so verv -iuch have already been said were adopted with but little protest, and with the in portant amenidment that the position of Probate Judge shall bo votcd Ior at -i general. primary.

Chairman 1rby, in opening the busi ucss, stated that at the last meetin_! of the State commnittee a sub-coimittee had been apoonted to draft rules fOr the ,overnment, of the Democraeic partv. Ile called oi Dr. Pope to make a report. The rules were the same as have hereto fore been publised and very u-nerally discussed.

Dr. Pope explained at length the mo. Live of tile resolution, which was to prc vent ---ming."1 Gen Gray moved to table f he resolu tion, which motion prevailedl by a vote of 17 to 6. T1hie quelstioni of' the appointmient oh supervisors of' registration by Governor Tillman was discussed and it was the sense of the committee that the necessity of' the atimointment o1 olliceris be called to the attention of' the various county executive committees, withz a view of their recomniendling applointments. OIn motion of'1r.
