; We see in a late issue of the Green
^vllte ~Newt that a correspondent has
t nominated Hon. B. W. Edwards, of Dar?
lington, for Governor. We heartily
endorse the suggestion, and hope Col.
Edwards will receive the Democratic
nomination, for he would make an excel?
lent Executive. The Pee Dee section
of the State has not had the Governor
i-ship since the war, and this would be a
.' fitting occasion on which to bestow the
compliment upon them. Col. Edwards
; is a man of ability, independence and
% integrity, who would be the Governor of]
ther whole people, and would discharge
??the duties of the office fairly and impar?
tially. He is in fall sympathy wi th the
-reforms of the State Government, which
; can be accomplished compatibly with
good government, and would not be
pliant to any set of men. He is opposed
to extravagance, and as Governor would
use the office as a public trust?not as a
personal possession. We think his elec?
tion would be advantageous to the peo?
ple of the whole State, for his record in
' public life marks him as a pure, able and
g?>. fearless man, who would do right from
^ principle, and who would dignify and
jkv ^adprn the highest office in the State.
V That Congress is about to appropriate
the sum of $150,000 to assist Mr. A. de
nssetin contracting an air ship will
;e many as a foolish waste of money,
t will not, however, raise such a storm
f-objeetion as did the appropriation of a
I sum to assist Prof. Morse in con?
structing a telegraph line from Washing?
ton to Baltimore. The House Committee
i has. amended the bill so as to pay the
? inventor $75,000, when the Secretary of!
ibeNavy, after an investigation with the
aid of a board of engineers into the plans:
y- of its construction, shall certify that at
least this amount has been expended,
and be has reason to believe the air-ship
will prove successful. The residue is to
be paid when the air-ship is completed
and has made a successful trial. The
report-says the theory of Dr. A. De
Bausset is based upon the proposition
that a body in the air, if lighter than the
same bulk of air, will rise in it. He
proposes to build his ship in the form of |
a tube, air-tight and cone shaped at the
ends, of steel of BufEcieut strength to
- withstand the pressure of the circumam?
bient air when a vacuum has been pro?
duced by pumping all the Inside air out
of the ship. If successful, the committee
flays, such a scheme would possibly revo?
lutionize transportation. The committee
append to the report a letter from the
chief of the bureau of steam engineering
confirming the correctness of Mr. de
Bausset t's theory, but adding that he had
not had time to stndy the details of con?
struction of the vessel sufficiently to pass
judgment upon it. There has been a
vast amount of experimenting upon air?
ships, and there are many scientific men
who firmly believe that the problem is
capable of a practical solution, -and that
the time is not far distant when ships or
vehicles for the transportation of passen?
gers and freight will go sailing through
the,air as they now do upon the water.
While it would not be wise for the gov?
ernment to pick up and espouse the cause
of every crank with an idea in his head,
this appropriation is so guarded that it
will commend itself to the people.
Proceedings of the Jcdieal Convention.
Seneca, S. C, June 21, 1888.
Pursuant to a call of the County Chair?
men of the Democratic party for the
Counties composing the Eight Judicial
Circuit a Convention assembled in the
hall of the Keowee Hotel in this place
to-day at 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose
of determining whether the nomination
of a Solicitor for this Circuit shall be
made by primary election or by a Con?
vention, or to nominate a Solicitor for
this Circuit, if it shall be decided by said
Convention to nominate by Convention.
At 11 o'clock Mr. E. B. Gary, of Ab?
beville, called the Convention to order,
and read the call for the Convention.
- Mr. Gary then moved that Maj. S. P.
Dendy, of Oconee, be elected temporary
Chairman. The motion was seconded by
Capt. G. G. Wells, of Greenville, and
unanimously adopted. Mr. W. W.
Keys, of Greenville, was elected tempo?
rary Secretary.
The delegates from, the various Coun?
ties were then enrolled, and the Chair?
man declared the Convention duly
organized and ready for business.

Eighth Circuit, be made by primary elec?
tion. -

of delegates. The ayes and nays were
called. Ayes 22; nays 22. The Chair?
man decided, the motion lost. The
Anderson and Abbeville delegates voted
nay, while the Greenville, Oconee and
Pickens delegates voted aye.
A discussion ensued as to whether or
not the rejection of the primary plan for
making nomination made it necessary to
nominate by Convention. The Chairman
ruled that under the Constitution of the
Democratic party of this State, it was the
duty of this Convention to either nomi?
nate a candidate or to call another Con?
vention to do so.
E. B. Gary, of Abbeville, moved that
the vote by which it was decided not to
make nominations by primary election
be rescinded. The ayes and nays were
demanded, and upon a call of the roll the
motion was unanimously adopted.
E. B. Murray, of Anderson, moved
that it first be determined whether a ma?
jority or a plurality of the votes cast in
the primary election, in case the primary
was adopted, should be necessary to
nominate. Carried. Moved by a dele?
gate from Abbeville that a majority, of j
the votes cast in the primary election be
necessary to nominate.
Mr. Murray, of Anderson, moved to
amend by striking out the word majority
and inserting plurality.
The ayeB and nays were demanded,
and upon call of the roll the amendment
'was rejected by a vote of 18 to 31.
The motion to adopt the majority rule
was then passed.
A motion was then adopted to nomi?
nate a candidate for Solicitor by primary
election, under the majority rule previ?
ously, adopted.
On motion of Mr. Murray, it was
decided that in case nomination was not
made by the first election that only the
two candidates receiving the highest vote
be voted for in the second election.
Carried.
Mr. Jo, W. Shelor, of Oconee, moved
that a committee of one from each of the
Counties composing the circuit be
appointed to prepare rules for the elec?
tion and to appoint the time for holding
the same. Carried.
The roll of Counties was called, and
the following committee- appointed: E.
B. Gary, Abbevillei; E.B. Murray, An?
derson ; Geo. Westmoreland, Greenville;
J. E. Boggs, Pickens; J. W. Shelor,
Oconee.
?? The committee retired, and the Con?
vention took recess for half an hour. At
12.40 p. m., the Convention re-assembled,
when the committee on rales submitted
the following, which was adopted first by
sections and then as a whole:
Eule 1. That a primary election for the
nomination of the Democratic candidate
for Solicitor of 8th Judicial circuit shall
be held on the tenth day of August, 1888.

they have heretofore been Democrats and
members of a local clnb, and voted for
all nominees of the party, national, State
and County in the last general election,
and who remain members of a local club
in said district shall be qualified to vote
at said judicial primary, and no others.
Bole 3. That the candidate who shall
receive a majority of all the votes cast in
said Judicial circuit for said office Bhall
be declared to be tho nominee of the
Democratic party for Solicitor of said

highest number of votes shall be voted
for. The result of the second election
shall be ascertained and declared in the
manner as herein provided for the first.
Eule 4. When the votes shall have
been duly canvassed in each County, the
Secretary of the County Executive Com?
mittee Bhall make a return of the election

-Bale 6.'That the Secretary of this
Convention shall furnish the County
Chairman of each County in said circuit,
with a certified copy of these rules.
On motion, the Convention then ad
journed.
? Among the visitors in Chicago at
present is Col. J. M. Norton, of Texas,
fie is about 70 years of age and his white
hair falls in curls half-way down his
back. His white beard reaches below
his waist. In 1845 Henry Clay was a
candidate for President and Col. Norton
registered a v?w that be would not cut
his hair or shave his beard until Clay en?
tered the White House. He has reli?
giously kept his vow and now presents a
most picturesque appearance.
CRIMES AND CASUALTIES*
Providence. R. I., June 25.?Charles
A. Pitcher, Teller of the Union Bank,
has absconded with an amount of the
bank's funds not yet determined, but it is
rumored to be large. Pitcher had been
employed in the bank for a number ot
years. He left the banking room at the
usual hour, about 4 P. M., on Saturday
afternoon, and departed, as was supposed,
for home. As far as can be learned, no
suspicion whatever had attached to his
action, and those who happened to Bee
him Saturday afternoon say he appeared
as usual in his behavior. This was the
last seen of him by the officials of the
bank. This morning it was discovered
that a considerable amount of the bank's
funds were missing. Pitcher's accounts
were found to be involved and experts
*nre put upon the books to discover the
ent of the shortage. It is said that
_ .'eher took about all the valuables he
could lay his hands on, even to pennies.
The bank was opened this morning but
no business was done. Pitcher's wherea?
bouts are unknown, but detectives are at
work on the case. It is rumored that
Pitcher took $500,000 in bonds and all
the cash in the vault.
Birmingham, Ala., June 17.?Last
Friday evening Otto Franks, au eight
year-old boy living with hia parents a
few miles in the country, found a large
rattlesnake near the house. The boy
had often said that he wanted a pet
snake, so when he found the big rattler
he began to stroke it on the head and
back with his hand. The snake seemed
pleased for a time, but finally became
angry and hit the boy on the right leg,
just below the knee. The little fellow
played on some time before going home,
and when he reached the house the bit?
ten limb was swelling rapidly. Medical
aid was obtained and the pain and swell?
ing were relieved after a trial, but imme?
diately the boy began to crawl and twist
himself, imitating the action of a snake.
He continued in this condition with
brief, lucid intervals until this afternoon,
when he died.
. Atlanta, Ga., June 22.?Clark Wil?
son , a colored man who lives in Bellwood,
shot Evie Ivey, a negro woman, on ac?
count of trespassing on bis grounds to
pick blackberries. It appears that Wil?
son had warned her not to pick the
berries, and this morning he spied her
hard at work gathering them. He seized
a pistol, and rushing at her, shot at her
twice. The first shot failed to take
effect, but the second brought her to the
ground. After she was down he kicked
er in the face and hit her with a rock,
breaking her arm. He was not arrested
until late this afternoon. A crowd of
colored people tried to find him all the
morning, but failed. They were open in
their threats of lynching him, and, if he
bad been found by them, the chances are
that Judge Lynch would have settled his
case. He was arrested by the officers
and placed in jail here. The woman is
not Expected to live.
Nashville, Tenn., June 22?John
Connor, a man 50 years old, who has been
living in the new town of West Nashville,
died yesterday from injuries received
early that morning by falling from a
third story window in Barney McGabe's
hotel, on Walnut street, opposite the
union depot Connor came in on a train
the night before and weut to McCabe's
hotel to get a room for the night. He
was told that the house was full, but he
said he had been there before, and was
finally told he could stay in the room
over McCabe's sons. He went to bed in
the third story, at midnight, and a man
who occupied a room on the first floor
heard something fall in the alley be?
tween the hotel and a house across. On
going out he found Connor lying on the
ground. Dr. J. L. Watkins was sent for
and rendered assistance. Conner said he
had gone to sleep and knew nothing till
he felt himself falling from the window.
He had walked in his sleep before. He
was on bis way to Hickman county to
work in the mines. He was asked if he
desired bis wife telephoned for, who was
reported keeping a' boarding house in
West Nashville, and he replied in the
negative. His hips were broken. Two
ribs were broken in the back and pressing
on the kidneys, and his head was hurt.
He died ot concussion of the brain and
lungs.
Raleigh, N. 0., June 22.?A consid?
erable sensation was created throughout
this State a few days ago by the an
nouncement that Wylie J. Palmer, at one
time auperintendent of the State Deaf,
Dumb and $ lind institution in this city,
and later superintendent of one at Ham?
ilton, bad been killed by a patient in the
insane asylum of Monganton, N. C. It
is now learned that the patient who kill?
ed Palmer is named G. W. Fine. All
care possible is taken with the patients
(over 400 in number,) but it is impossible
always to prevent such occurrences. Fine
was a patient, and was harmless up to the
moment of striking Palmer. Fine says
he was suddenly told by the voice of God
to kill Palmer, and as Palmer was passing
at the time he struck him forth-with.
The coroner has reported the occurrence
to the solictor of the district.
Albany, Ga., June 22.?J. W. Mock,
a powerful young farmer of east Dough?
erty, was kicked by a cow this morning.
His wife attempted to milk it, but the
bovine was restless, and Mock attempted
to catch and hold it by the hind leg while
his wife milked. The cow gave him a
tap in the face, making him turn a double
somersault.. His jaw is dislocated, and
he sent for a doctor thinking he had lock?
jaw. ' He didn't know it was loaded.
Csntba&i S. C. June 21.?Claude Ste?
phens, a young man of this town, and a
flagman on the Air Line freight, fell from
the top of a car going towards Charlotte
this morning. The accident occurred
about the tank, a few mites this side of
Easley. Mr. Ayres, the conductor, did
not miss tbe flagman for some time.
When found- his left arm was broken,
and he was about lifeless from a wound
received in the back part of the head.
An extra train brought tbe wounded man
back to Central about 11 o'clock this
morning. Several physicians have been
summoned. Judging from appearances,
there is but little hope of his recovery.
Mr. Stephens is an excellent yonng man.
His relatives and friends are shocked at
the Bad news.
Columbia, S. 0., June 23.?At 7.30
to-night J. Q. Adams, formerly a con?
ductor on the Columbia & Greenville
railroad, committed suicide by shooting
himself three times with a Smith & Wes?
son revolver. He was in his house on
Lady Street. He lived for an hour and
forty minutes. Adama was 28 yean old.
He was discharged from the road a month
ago and had been unable to get any other
job. His family relations were also most
unhappy, and these facts, it is supposed,
caused him to take his life.
Hampton, June 23.?Jake Washing?
ton, colored, met with a horrible death
yesterday afternoon at Mauldin's saw
mill, near this place. He was engaged
in lifting slabs away from tbe saw as
they were riven from the logs. In some
unaccountable way he was caught be?
tween a slab and tbe carriage, his legs
broken, his breast crushed in by tbe slab
being burled against him and then he
was caught in the belt and thrown into
the saw dust pit, beneath the saw, and
his neck broken. He lived ten minutes.
SutfTEE, June 23.?Yesterday morn?
ing a negro boy returning home from a
mill laid down beside the railroad to
take a nap, resting his head on the ends
of the crossties with his meal sack beside
him. While be was sleeping a treight
train came along and tbe cow-catcher
struck him on the head. At this writing
he is alive, but his injuries are probably
fatal.
? The rabbit pest in Hew Zealand is
said to be constantly increasing in seri?
ousness in spite of the persistent efforts
made by tbe Government and the farmers
to eradicate it. They reduce, it is said,
the feeding capacity of the land one
third, while the fleeces of tbe sheep have
decreased from one pound to one and
one-half pounds each, the number of
lambs decreased from 30 to 40 per cent,
and the death rate increased from 8 to 13
per cent. It is hoped that the increase
in tbe population and the cultivation
of the country will drive out the pesU in
time.
? The Hudson River is so fall of her*
rings that in some places steamboats
move with difficulty.
? Estimates of the cotton crop are
sprouting this year almost in advance of
the plant. A 7,000,000 bale estimate is
current in Wall street.
? The recently enacted law requiring
-all death sentences to be executed in New
York State by means of electricity is
causing some trouble. The doctors say
that when the State begins the business it
will necessarily be bu oglingJy done. The
electrical execution is said to be as revol?
ting as hanging. It will cause bleeding
at the eyes and ears of the executed and
will cover the criminal with blood. The
papers are discussing the subject, and
several inventors are at work executing
machines.
? The Boston Journal spins this curious
yarn: "There is a black lily at Cbico,
Cal., which catches flies. It is shaped
something like a calla, but much larger,
being sixteen inches across the top by
ten inches in breadth. The pistil eman?
ates from a pouch about ten inches in
depth, and is itself fifteen inches long by
nearly an average width of an inch and
is perfectly black. The flower has an
offensive odor like that of decaying flesh.
Flies swarm about the flower. Attracted
by the odor they find their way into the
pouch from which the pistil comes,
and once down in there they never get
out,"
? Moses Jenkins, colored, of Cofley
ville, Miss., the oldest person in that
State, or perhaps in the United States,
died at the alms house in Tallahatcbie,
County, Miss., last week. Uncle Mose at
the time of his death was 115 years of |
age and was a plough-boy on a plantation
at the close of the Revolution. He bad
lived in Tallahatchie County for more
than sixty years, and when a Blave was
faithful always. When by the fortunes
of war he was made free he proved a good
and trustworthy citizen and an honor to
his race. In each election since he was
given the privilege of elective franchise,
without persuasion, force or fear, he voted
the Democratic ticket
? It aeema that the women of England
are in a bad way as regards drink. Dr.
Imlach has informed the British Medical
Association that women driok to excess
as much as men, and that in Liverpool it
is the wives who drink, and not among
the vicious classes alone. The use of
opium, chloral and other narcotics is
much more prevalent among women than
among men. Women, however, have a
better excuse for their excesses than the
other.sex. They drink, as a rule, because
they have some worrying ailment, and
keep on until the habit is settled upon
them. With narcotics the beginning of
the abuse is generally traceable, says Dr.
Imlach, to medical prescriptions. Miss
Broadbent, the well known missionary of J
the Church Temperance Society, says a
correspondent of the New York Sun,
gives the interesting fact that though
women often drink heavily, the moat
confirmed drunkards among them are
seldom attacked with delirium tremens.
She declares that she has not seen a siogle
instance of this disease among women
during the last- twelv months, although
she has visited many cases of drinking
women.

The American Fruit Preserving
POWDER
AND
LIQUID.
TI^E have been handling this valuable
T v preparation for several years with
great success, and have no hesitation in re?
commending it to our friends. Some few
have not been successful with it, but we
are confident it is because they failed in
some respect to follow directions. If di?
rections are properly followed there is no
doubt of its efficacy. We have many re?
commendations and certificates from our
people here in the County, but for the
present will mention only a few. Dr. B. A.
Reid, of the well-known and reliable
Drug firm of Simpson, Reid & Co., says:
Messes. Hill Bros?Sirs : With much
satisfaction I recommend your Fruit Pre?
serving Liquid and Powder. I have tried
the same with tomatoes, plums, apples,
peaches and cherries. Find all the above
perfectly preserved, with* the natural taste
of fruit, with no unpleasant taste what?
ever. Yours,
R. A. Reid.
Messrs. Hill Bros?Dear Sirs : Al?
though we used your Preserving Fluid
with misgivings, we have no hesitancy
now in saying the fruit and vegetables have
kept perfeotly, and without any unpleas?
ant flavor. The great advantage over the
ordinary method'of canning Is, that the
Fluid is more reliable, keeps larger pack?
ages, and they can be opened and re-open?
ed without injury to the fruit, <fcc.
R. Mabcus Bubbibs.
^3J- Take care of your early fruit.
Yours truly,
HILL BROTHERS.
