Timely Warning.
The great success of the chocolate preparations of
the house of Walter Baker & Co. (established
in 1780) has led to the placing on the market
many misleading and unscrupulous imitations
of their name, labels, and wrappers. Walter
Baker & Co. are the oldest anu largest manu*
facturers of pure and high-grade Cocoas and
Chocolates on this continent. No chemicals are
used in their manufactures.
Consumers should ask for, and be sure that
they get, the genuine Walter Baker & Co.’s goods.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.
THE CONVENTION ON MONDAY.
When the constitutional conven
tion resumed this morning it began
to run the calendar. The article on
juiisprudence was passed to a third
readii.g, including the anli-lytich
provision, but the vote whereby the
article was adopted was soon recon
sidered, and the matter pissed over.
The convention then took up, and
was still considering when the recess
came, the matter of author zing an
issue of State bonds to enable ih
counties of the- State li
do a business on a
cadi basis. The bonds are to fl >ated
at a rate of interest not greater than -i
>2 percent, and eunn >t be sold at less
than par. The counties ate to pay
back the amount of the bond>
to the Stale. The issue will
be for about half a million dollars.
At night the conveutmn was en
gaged in handling the suflYage pro
bletii. The evening proceedings were
opened with n long speech from It
B. Anderson, the negrodelegate from
Georgetown. He -pleaded the cause
of the negro in strong manner. Mr
Burn followed him. makiug the iirst
speech on the white man’s side re
plying to and dissecting the argu
ments of the negroes. Then I. It.
Read, of Beaufort, the sixth negro
made a strong speech. On a rod call
only these six negroes voted against
killing Whipper’s universal “read
and write” substitute. The nrst two
sections of the article reported by the
committee were then adopted, When
section 3, providing that male citi
zens be allowed to vote, was called
Mr (flay offered a substitute to give
the ballot to womer? also on a proper
ty and educational qualification.
This brought the subject of woman
suSrage up squarely. Mr Clayton
made ail earnest plea for woman suf-
fnige’as ili<H»Jso Gen. R. R. Hem
phill and Dr. Tviimerman, the Lieut.
Governor, the latler taking the high
ground of moral elevation of the suf
frage. Mr D. S. Henderson said the
arguments presented simply showed
cowardice; that the men wanted to
bring the women in to hide behind
them and shield them from a negro
majority. He argued that they
should aci like men, and said the re
port of the committee was n excel
lent and manly one. Oo^Jno. T.
Sloane argued that it would degrade
woman. After hetfring many
other speeches pro and con the
convention adjounieT'dwithontd taking
any action.
