Evans, the president, was ah-, sent from ihe city attending the op-1 eniug exercises of *he Winthrop Nor mal a.id Industrial college. The body had just got.en through 1 with the routine preliminaries, when attention was called to the death pf Dr J. O. Byrd, one ot tlie members of tlie convention, and tlie convention at once adjourned out of respect to his memory until 10 o’clock next morning aher passing resolutions in regard to tlie sad occurence. WEDNESDAY’S WOKK. Theconvention wrangled over three hours on several amendments of Sev ern! sections of legislative articles re lating to the abolishing of special leg islation for incorporation of cities, towns, etc. Senator Tillman present ed a section providing that tlie legisla ture should in 189G submit to the peo ple the question of holding a constitutional convention and do likewise every twentieth aear there after, allow iiig a majority vote to call die f^mvention. It was voted down by a vote of G5 to 47. Before tlie recess the convention adopted a section prohibiting inter marriage of a white person with a per son having any negro blood whatever. The matter was re-opened, and Judge Frazier ottered to further amend by adding the words “to main tain the status of many families in the State tainted slightly with negro blood.” Some strong speeches were made and finally the section with the amendment was recommitted to tlie committee. George D. Tillman made a strong speech maintaining that instead of the phase “any negro blood” tlie words “one-eighth negro blood” should be used. GENERAL WALKER’S STAFF.

Tillman moved to strike out the sec tion in the article on declaration of rights which requires “that all elec tions shall he free and open ” There was a lively political debate, and tlie convention voted him down by a vote of 59 to 58. After several other votes on the same matter in different form he had the question postponed to he taken up with tlie report of the committee on suffrage. Tiie debate on tiie sutlrage article lias been fixed for Tuesday next from'day to day un til it is completed. The convention struck out the section in the article of declaration of rights, wdiich said that “the right of citizens of this State shall not he denied or abridged on count of race, color or previous . tion of servitude^jk^ £™ ck -rrrrrrT untary servitude, except as.'a punishment for crime, f whereof the party shall have been once oouvic.ed, shall exist in this State.” Senator Tillman introduced as au amendment to the legislative article a section providing that the general assembly in the year 1916 and every twentieth year thereafter, should re fer to the people the question of hold ing a constitutional convention to be held upon a majority vote. Tlie Con vention again sat upon tlie Senator, kililni>^m Tlie section providing for the adop tion of general laws for the charter ing of cities, towns, villages, manu- CAUSE OF POLITICAL UNREST. For the Southern States the differ ence between cotton at nine cents and cotton under five means the dif ference between prosperity and tlie imminence of bankruptcy. The deep feeling of political mm st at the South was largely due to the low price of cotton. Unabie to make tlie product of a year’s hard work to pay more than the expense of production, the planteis naturally sought* both tlie explanation and the remedy in politics. The effect of increasing prices is to make them less anxious to “smash’’ existing parries and to inaugurate a new era in politics. By tlie same rule under which radicalism waxes rampant when corn is used for fuel and cotton left unpicked in the fields, conservatism becomes a governing force when prices rise. If cotton does actually go to nine cents and remain at that figure next year there will be very little left of Popu lism as a governing political force in tiie cotton States. New York World.

M. Fowler, is reported, “lias of Anderson,” completed ar rangements for establishing a lard and sausage manufactory in that town. His p^mt consists of a large lard caldron, a meat chopper, having a capacitv of 500 pounds an hour, a stuffer, etc. The machinery is run by an electric motor.” It is worthy of note in connection with Fowler’s venture that it lias not been practici- hie to establish such an enterprise in any part of tliis Stats, we believe, at anytime within Hie past thirty years. Five hundred pounds of meat manu factured every hour means 30,000 pounds a week and nearly 900,000 pounds a month. There has proba bly not enough pork been trade in any county to keep such a factory sup plied for month in any winter since the war. Anderson owes its new fac tory to tlie agitation for “hog and hominy,” and other counties have Iteen as much benefited by it in oilier ways. If Mr Fowler will have all his porkers carefully inspected as a precaution against using diseased meat, and will advertise the fact, he will have a larger demand for his pro ducts than he can supply. All pro ducts with which he will have to compete must be taken on fcuth, and a misplaced faitn in too many cases. A sanitary sausage factory any where in tlie State ought to prove a gold mine. Newts and Courier. HE KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. On Tuesday last at a Confederate Veteran reunion near Murfreesboro,, Tennessee, Bishop Quintan!, of the Episcopal Church, in a public speech commending Governor Turney’s Chattanooga speech, said: “As I stand before you to-day, comrades, and say I helive i 1 a God and His son Son Jesus Christ, so do I stand and say that I was rigid in supporting the Confederacy. It is no matter of opinion with me, no mere thinking we were right: I know we were right, constitutionally right.” He was en thusiastically applauded. THE MOSELEY MURDER Tlie jury of inquest in the killing of Constable J. J Moseley in Green wood on Sunday morning has an nounced tlieir verdict which is “That J. J. Moseley came to death from a gunshot wound in the hands of Toni Peterson. ” Peterson, Venera Ray, Henry Jack son and Andrew Palmer were hur ried oft' to Abbeville jail Monday night under a strong guard of the Maxwell Guards. The feeling was so strong against them that if they had been in Greenwood when tlie verdict was made known Peterson would have been lynched. The court at Abbeville is now in session, and they will be tried this week, Peterson’s brother was lynch ed at Denmark about three vears ago, and he has been in Greenwood ever since. Palmer has just finished a sentence m the penitentiary for kill ing a negro at Anderson. ACTING WISELY. Savannah News. The question of taxation is an im portant one i,, determinii g tlie loca tion of both small and large industri al plants. It is worthy of notice that one of tlie articles that the South Carolina constitutional convention lias already adopted gives to towns authority to exempt from municipal taxation newly established factories for such a term of years as they may regard as reasonable, and it is a fact that South Carolina, notwithstanding her political troubles, is making greater industrial progress than any other southern state. In putting the exemption clause in her constitution, therefore, South Carolina is acting wisely.
