MONDAY’S WOKK. ilonday wan distiuctly a routine day in every sense of the word. Two * more articles, those on the impeach ments and amendments, ueitherload- ed with any dynamite,, passed to a third rending. The rest of Ihe day wan devoted to sections of the report of the committee on miscellaneous matter. Anything' calculated to bring about a tight w is passed over, i The matter of divorces will probably come up to night. The Convention came dangerously near passing a woman’s suffrage clause this morning before realizing what it meant, but the trouble was seen in time. President Evans was ill and Vice President Talbert was In Ihe chair. EVENING SESSION. -^'Wheii the Convention met in the evening a matter that had been brew ing all day was presented. It eainc lit the shape of this resolution offered by Mr. J. E. Ellcrbee: That the Convention shall adjourn •on Friday, the 4th day of October, prox., to meet on Tuesday, the 14th day of January, 1890. Although Tillman is violently op posed to this, there is a strong senti ment in favor of taking such action. There was a long debate and a hard fight upon the adoption of a provision putting a married woman’s property rightson identically the same footing witli these of an unmarried woman. Then v the divorce problem was ta ken up and when the Convention ad journed at 11:1ft p'm. the heated de bate was scarcely more than half completed. There are three propositions pend ing, one absolutely agaipst any di- voice, as (South Carolina Stands to day; another to allow no divorces excep. for conviction if adultery in a court, nod not allowing the guilty party to re-marry. The tnird is to al low divorces “by judgment of a court as shall be preset iced by law.” TUESDAY S WORK. After a debate continuing ail of last night’s session ami through nearly all of to-day. the Convention has decid ed that there shall never boa divorce granted in South Carolina for any cause: filer Til!- 01VOTccs States recognized in South ina, but for once his appeals vere heard with a deaf ear and he was voted down. The Bible was quoled from very freely during the debate. The parlia mentary clincher was put on after the matter was adopted. There was also a big fight to-day to have the Convention take a recess until January 14. This was killed. Then an effort was made to have a recesi of ten days. It, too, failed, the vote being 8G to 59 At 2 o’clock the provisions relating to tlie suffrage were reported, being a modification oi tne Mississippi plan. At night the Convention dived into the dispensary problem, taking up the motion to indefinitely postpone the Clayton substitute, which provid ed for the absolute incorporation of the system into the Constitution. A battle royal resulted, the advocates of the perpetuation of the system almost over-riding the counsel earnestly gi ven by Senator Tillman as to the ef fect of a possible decision from the United States Supreme Court that the State could not do a liquor busi ness. After an all night fight during which amendment after amendment and substitute after substitute were vottd down amid stoimy votes, the section was amended by Senator Till man to his way of thinking ami the section was adopted at 11 o’clock in shape, the parliamentary clincher going on it: Section 14.—In the exercise of the police power the General Assembly shall have the right to prohibit the manufacture of alcholic liquors or beverages Within the State; the Gen eral Assembly may license person! or corporations to manufacture and sell and retail alcholic liquors or beverages within the State under such rule*: and restrictions as it may deem proper, or the General Assem bly may prohibit the manufacture and sale and retail of alcholic liquors and beverages within the State; may authorize and empower State and county and municipal officers, all or or either, under the authority and name of the State, to buy in any mar ket or retail within the State liquors and beverages in sucli packages and quantities under such rules and regu lations as it is deemed expedient; provided, that no license shall be granted to sell alcholic beverages in less quantities than one-half pint or to sell them between sundown and sunrise, or to sell them to be drank on the premises' and, provided furth general laws for the organixatioo and class!Heat ion of municipal corpora tions was adopted. The section read ing: “No city or town shall be organiz ed without the consent of a in&jority of the electors residing and entitled by law to vote in the district prop:»- e.l to be incorporated, sucli to be as certained in a manner ami under such regulatians as may be prescribed by law.” Tliere ensued a hot debate. Once more the Convention n fu-ed to fol low Senotor Tillman. He offered to mend by adding the following very important clause: •‘Provided a class to be known as i manutacturing towns shall be provid ed by- the General j Assembly, and shall be incorporated whenever the population of such community shall number 1,000, und r such restrictions and regulations as shall protect the rights of and prevent unjust encroach ment opon the propetIy of citizens.” He and Congressman Wilson made a vigoious fight for this measure. They were defeated by a vote of 44 to to 93. The section wos finally adopt ed as reported. The committee on education reported three different uPieles on the subject. The majority submitted a long article which in cludes the support of Clemson Col lege, the deaf and dumb and blind institutes and a State reform school, and provides for a three mill tax for the support of public schools. Mr. E. J. Kennedy submitted a substitute for two sections; one pro viding application of funds derived from the sale of liquors and certain other funds to beset apart as a per petual school fund. Messrs. Watsou and Ouser sub mitted an article providing for a four mill tax. That Ti ^ *** m tt MILLINERY OPENING. The annual millinery opening of Massrs. J. IT.

THE RIGHT THING. There will be no divorces in South Carolina. Divorces granted in other States will not be recognized in Soutli Carolina. This is what the Constitu tional Convention decided by an over whelming moj irity, and the decision will be approved by an equally over whelming majority of the people of State. The lirtory, the traditions, tlie beliefs, tlie sentiments of South Carolina were too strong for those who preached tlie doctrine of exped iency, not the right; of conformity to the customs of other States ; of “pro gress” in a direction which would have resulted in shame and confusion. Tiie Convention did the right thing in tlie right way.— New* and Courier. DEATH OF DR. BROCKINGTON. We are sorry to have to chronicle the death or Dr. W. W. Brockington of Elko, S. C. f on last Friday. It was only about twelve months ago that lie moved to Wagener and since then ha* been living with his sister, Airs. H. S. Cunt.iugliam. His sojourn with us was quite short, only about six mouths, but while here he won tlie esteem of all who per chance met him. He was a first class physician and as a surgeon, was unsurpassed in this country. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Williams burg, and after spending a goodly portion oi his life in t*he service of his Master, wos ready to bow submissive ly to Uie summons and is now gone to reap the Reward which was laid up for him m Heaven. He iiad been having fever for some days but was not dangerously ill until last Thurs day morning. His remains were car ried to Williamsburg for burial. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss.— Wafjcncr News. WE THINK THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH for our customers, but we want them to have the best.
