Mr. Cleve ld feels that nothing should be done ich might by any means tend to dis jt the Democratic party, and he wants je best and strongest man, be he from the East or West, nominated. : Rev: Charles H. Spurgeon, the noted .Baptist preacher, of London, England, died last Sunday night, aged 58 years. About the same time Dr. Basil Manly, of the Southern Baptist Theological Semi : nary, died at his home in Louisville, Ky., aged 67 years. Dr. Manly waa born and reared.in South Carolina, and was one of the most prominent members of . Iiis denomination in the South. The memory of these two good men will long bo cherished. Representative Oates, of Alabama, made, an elaborate argument, January 22, before tint House Committee on Banking and Currency, in support of two bills in? troduced by him. One of these bills ma^is it lawful fo~ any national banking association to loan money upon real es? tate secured by mortgage to an amount not exceeding 50 per cent of the cash Rvalue of tho property. The other was one repealing the tax of ten per cent, on -the circulation of State banking associ? ations, provided there is furnished as security for the redemption of such bills 75 per cent, of Bolvent bonds of the State and 25 per cent. cash. The Democratic policy with reference to the tariff in this Congress has been do? led. The McKinley law wil! be aiLack by sepwate bills aimed a? a few parts if the measure and not by a general tariff ion bill. This conclusion was reach last Friday by Democratic members, of Ways and Means Committee at a ference lasting several hours. When vote was taken it resulted seven to iree in lavor of separate bills. Three lembers of the committee t pledge of their adhesion to the poli of their associates and will act with iem, thus making the Democratic part f the Ways and Means Committee a unit the policy which it was decided to apt. Nothing was said about which icular feature of the law should be . attacked aud this will be left to fu determination. THE WAY TO RESTORE UNITY. The suggestion has been made that a invention be held at an early day by lose persons who desire a change from the present control of government for the purpose of agreeing upon a plan of ac? tion, of effecting an organization and for anch other preliminaries as may be de? sired. Of course the ultimate and most ^important object of this Convention would be to put candidates in the field against Tillman and his supporters. The State is advocating this course. Be? fore entering on a discussion of this sub? ject we wish to know the opinion of the ' ?State upon a question concerning which the daily press has been strangely silent or has expressed only indirect opinions. Tho question is this : Does the State (and other dailies) accept as true Chairman ?~1rby.iSv3tatem.ent that there can be no S^rimaryNUrect for nominees for State of - ficerSj for as tho May Convention, as pro - vided. for in the Constitution of th^ party, is called for specified purposes, none of which- relate to a consideration of tho method, by which candidates are to be n ominated, that therefore that Convention aannot take this subject under considera? tion? If tho Constitution cannot be changed > ~by a Convention of the people when they see proper, then a Constitution is a clan? gorous thing. This samo Constitution declares that no Club formed since Au \ gust 13, 1890, shaU be recognized as a Democratic Club. This is just as binding ay that section of the Constitution which . declares that the May Convention shall consider only certain matters, and there? fore no others not named therein. If the Intkixiokkcer and the Green ^?^f?^Ehterprise and Mountaineer are wrong in contending that the May Con? vention can take steps providing for a di? rect primary, why hold a convention as suggested by the/State? Any Organiza? tion effected then would not be recogniz? ed by the present Executive Committee, for the Constitution so declares. Such a Convention, then, would be acting outsido of tho Constitution, and therefore would bo another "strayed out" movement. Why cannot tho May Convention pro? vide for a direct primary for State offi? cers? Until convinced that it cannot we will continue to advocate such a change in tho party Constitution as to give the people what they have insisted was due them for years?a direct primary. Intel? ligent people do not want so much cir? cumlocution In choosing their rulers as is involved in voting for delegates to go to Columbia to do their voting for them. We are in favor of a Convention of *ho people, composed of members of any and all factions of the Democratic party who ? ;-ftyor a direct primary for offices from governor down, which shall demand thatthe May Convention take whatever . steprt are necessary to insure to the voters a choice oinominees uncontrolled by the fSuonces always prevalent la a Convention, that no makeshift bo accept? ed, such as electing delegates to do our voting for us, but that every voter be al? lowed tho right of casting his ballot di? rectly for the candidate he hopes will be olected. Only by means of thej direct primary will peace and harmony and unity again be restored to our people. Let this be nettled. Hero of late we have noticed Beveral newspaper squibs to tho effect that those who opposed Tillman havo begun to abuse him and therefore improve his chances for a second term. So far as wo have seen, however, in nearly evory in? stance the abuse has come from those who in 1890 were induced to vote for him. Having boen deceived, some allowance must bo made for those men now that things aro shown to be so unlike what they seemed. Tho anti-administration men aro re? markably fair and iust in their criticisms. It is true that they commented on the acts the administration and showed up incon? sistencies, but that is net only the privi? lege of the press, but duty. There is just one point, however, thut ought to be settled now, and that is, as to tho legality of tho party of which Senator Irby is chairman. If that is the Demo? cratic party, it is worse than; folly to be all tho while objecting to its acts and in? timating that its orders will not bo re? garded. There is no use to throw away all chance of success by interposing unrea? sonable objections. Unless the differences of two years are healed and assurance is given that the minority of the Democrats will yield to the majority in the coming contest, though Governor Tillman were worse than he is and more unworthy than hia record Bhowa him, he would be elect? ed. The rank And file of the white people of the State are, first of all, Democrats. They love their party for what it has done in tho past and what it promises for tho fu? ture. They are not to be drawn out of it nor driven, and the soonor those who are to oppose Tillman recognize that the coming fight is to be strictly within the party and to end when the candidate is named, the better it will be for them. This paper stands now where it stood two years ago. We have found Governor Tillman just about what we expected. When five years ago the writer heard him make his third public speech, in which he said he could not by any possibility be made to accept office, we believed he was the office-seeker he proved to be. Since, one by one, the charges of the campaign were retracted, since the promises of the campaign have 'been ignored, we have found more reasons for opposing him than ever, but if he Is put up, even with bis record, as the Democratic candidate, the Herald will support him. We are not ready to leave the party, and hence we are bound to support its nominees.? Spartanburg Herald. To Plant Less Cotton. Augusta, Ga., January 28.?At to? day's session of the cotton planters' con? vention the following resolutions were adopted and the convention adjourned sine die i Resolved, That to carry out the recom? mendations of this convention to reduce the cotton acreage for tbe year 1893, 20 per cent., we earnestly request all news? papers and agricultural journals of the cotton States to publish the resolutions of this meetings, urging all cotton produ? cers to accept the resolutions and faith? fully carry them out, and to urge them further to increase the production of grain, meat and everything in general for the support of man and beaut. Resolved Further, That we request State Alliances to urge upon sub-Allian? ces and State Granges through subordin? ate Granges the-necessity for immediate consideration of the action cf this impor? tant questioD. That we request all city, County and agricultural organizations throughout the cotton States to call County Conventions immediately to consider and decide upon the question of rednction of cotton acre? age and at said convention to elect two delegates to a general Southern Conven? tion, which shall convene at Montgom? ery, Ala., on Wednesday, March 9,1892, to consider questions affecting the inter? ests of planters and decide upon suoh general and uniform legislation in the various States as is best for further re? lief. All Cotton Exchanges and bodies of cotton factors are requested to have rep? resentatives in said convention by election of two delegates to represent each organ? ization. Resolved, That the Augusta Cotton Exchange, through its proper Committee, send a copy of theso resolutions zo the various exchanges and cotton associations and that the general committee on memo? rials to the Legislature also send out copies of said resolutions to the various journals and agricultural organizations throughout the Souih at as early a date as possible. Resolved, That each County Convention be requested to take a list of subscribers who are willing to bind themselves to a reduction and make a report of said agreement for reduction through their delegates to the general Convention in Maroh. The following resolution was also adopted: Rocognizing the fact that home produc? tion of farm feed crops is retarded by the fact that such crops have, when home grown, little commercial value and no standing as money crops. Resolved, That this Convention urge upon commission merchants and all oth? ers handling and consuming hay, grain and meats, and like to encourage the growing of these crops by recognizing them as money crops and making a mar? ket for them by educating farmers as to the be3t methods of growing and putting them into marketable shape.?Augusta Chronicle._ mm Death cf Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, London, January 31.?A dispatch just received from Mentone announces the death of the Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon, at 11.05 to-night. Charles Haddon Spurgeon was born at Kelvcdon, Essex, Juno 19, 1834. His lather and grandfather were preachers in the independent denomination. At the ago of sixteen he became an usher at New? market and subsequently at Cambridge. Not long after going to Cambridge, he connected himself with a "lay preachers' association" there, and before he was eighteen became pastor of a small Baptist congregation at Water Beach. In 1853 he was called to tho new Park Street Baptist Chapel, in Southwark, London, to which his preaching attracted such crowds that the congregation moved first to Ex? eter Hall and then to Surry Music Hail In 18G1 a new chapel, capable of seating between 5,000 and 6,000 persons, was com? pleted for his congregation in Nowington Butts. Mr. Sturgeon has received more thau 10,000 persons into his Church, and has erected thirty-six chapels in London, supplied with ministers trained in a col logo of his own founding. ? The shortest courtship on record is one recently carried on in Louisville, where a man and woman met for tho first time after tea one night and wore married inside of two hours. ? The women of Bridgeton, Pa., havo formally petitioned tho mayor for per? mission to carry rod pepper with them when they have to go out after dark. ' A Tennessee Tragedy, Memphis, January 28.?Tho most sen? sational tragedy which has occurred in Memphis for years was committed this afternoon. Tho victim was Miss Freda Ward and tho slayer was Miss Alice Mitchell. Both were familiar figures in society and the awful affair is tho talk of town to-night. Miss Mitchell is 19 years old, a daughter of George Mitchell, retired fur? niture dealer, and she and Miss Johnson, in tho latter's stylish ' turnout" wore a familiar sight on the dri vos about tho city. Miss Ward is a daughter of John Ward, a planter and wealthy merchant of Gold Dust, Ark. At the inquest this evening tho jury rendered a verdict charging Miss Mitch? ell with the killing, aud. that it was pro meditated. It is alleged by several per? sons that Miss Ward had made remarks of a decidedly uncomplimentary naturo regarding Miss Mitchell and this is supposed to have been the cause of the tragedy. This afternoon a buggy containing Miss Mitchell and her friend, Miss Lizzie Johnston, drove up to the custom house. Coming slowly along the pavoment chat? ting pleasantly were Miss Ward, of Gold Dust, Ark., and hor sistor Joe. Suddenly from her carriage bounded Miss Mitchell. Catching Miss Ward by the nock she drew a razor across the throat of her vic? tim. Miss Ward sank to tho pavemont and in a n oment sho was cold in death. The murdored girl's sistor received a tri? fling cut. Miss Mitchell jumped into her buggy with the exclamation, "Drive on, I've done if," and the pair drove homo where Miss Mitchell was arrested. Did uot Oppose Dancing. Whbelino, W. Va., Jan. 29.?Fhe Rev. J. J. Jones, pastor of the Wayman (M. E.) church, of this city, is in trouble with the authorities of the church, and to-day was deposed from the pastorate by order of Bishop Payne because he took a pronounced position in favor of dancing and other amusements at church socials. Various other charges were brought against the pastor, put they were not pushed because the one mentioned was deemed^ufficient to warrant his deposi? tion. The affair hai created a sensation in Pastor Jones' congregation, and a ma? jority of th^m, particularly the younger class, who w.">re fond of the amusements he permitted, will follow him out of the chursh. Ho will organize a new ohurch next Sunday, and has rented a hall for the* purpose. Sinoe Mr. Jones has been pastor of Wayman Church he has held a series of church socials in publio halls, at which the dance was permitted by him. Many of the orthodox brethren held up their hands In holy horror at the worldliness of their pastor, but he was undisturbed by it, and when a rival pastor attacked his rather liberal actions, Rev. Mr. Jones replied through the press, defending the dance and notifying the public that so long as he was their pastor his young people should not be deprived of the pleasure of dancing when they chose to do so under proper restrictions. The matter was laid before the bishop, and Mr. Jones was to-day deposed witn out even the formality of a trial. A Young Wife Blows out hor Brains. One of the saddest tragedies that has occurred in this State for a long time, happened in Edgefield yesterday after? noon, and the news of it having spread to most of the towns of the County, nearly every one was much shocked. The saddest p3rt of it all, however, is that it is a fair and apparently happy yourp" woman who deliberately commit? ted suicide. Mr. John Carson ia a well known young Edgefield man, who has been liv? ing since his marriage at a cross roads just a few miles north of Ridge Spring between that place and Ward's?with his fair young wife and their two brightlittle children. Yesterday this happy household was terribly dismembered. Mrs. Carson, so a passenger on the incoming train said, some time during the day went into hor room, took her husband's pistol, placed it to her temple and fired. The bullet plowed its way through her brain and death was instantaneous. At the sound of the pistol, members of the household rushed to tho room to find the dead wife lying in a pool of her own blood and brains. They were terribly shocked. Such a step was not in the least anticipated, and no cause can be assigned for the rash act. The only possible cause that can be conceived is iU-health. The young wife has recently had a spell of illness and it is supposed that it affected her mind.? Columbia Stale. A Xentneky Fend. Louisville, Ky., Jan, 29.?Near Plne ville, Ky., to-day Bob Jones and Lee Daviu, two prominent members of the Parton faction, were killed by Turner and his men. Jones and Davis, the two murdered men, were known as avowed enemies of Berry Turner. They had as? sisted in the capture of Turner about a year and a half ago, when he was lodged in jail here. Since Turner made his es? cape these two men have been endeavor oring to efiect his capture. They had gone so far as to offer ?200 for Turner's apprehension and the outlaw had doubt - less been awaiting this opportunity for vengeance. Friends of Manual Parton, who was killed by Turner last Saturday, were given a chance to bury the body Wednesday but not until It had been partially devoured by hogs. Berry Tur? ner is considered one of the most des? perate outlaws that ever disgraced this country. He comes from the famous Turner family of Yellow Creek and has a record of killing rarely equalled. He has gathered about him a desperate gang of mountaineers and defies the law as much as he does his enemies. Tho Sheriff of Claiborne, Tenn., has notified officers here that ho will furnish twenty men to assist in the capturo of Tumor and his gang and the attempt will proba? bly be made. A Holocaust In Greenville. Gbeexvilli:, January 28.?Sandy Young, colored, and his two children were burned to death at their homo in this city shortly boforo 1 o'clock this morning. Their charred and limbless bodies were taken from tho ruins by fire? men. Tho house was a small one and wag in tho western part of tho city. Young's ; widow says when sho awoke the houso I was in ilaraos. Sho escaped by a door, but Young attempted to savo his two children, aged ? and 3 respectively, and all three perished. Thero is soino suspi? cion of foul play, but tho evidence before the coroner's Jury to-day did not confirm the suspicions. Tho three people woro so horribly burned that nothing was found but the trunks of their bodies. ? One of tho most interesting sights along the Rio Grando is to see a regiment of Mexican soldiers taking a compulso? ry bath. It is only under compulsion that the rank and filo of the army ever do bathe, and when tbe coromony is in progress one-half of the regiment enters the water while the other half stands guard on tho bank, riflos in hand, to shoot down any man who attempts to desert. Wheu the ablution is finishod tho men resume their places iu lino aud guard their comrades while they batlio. Holiness Association Tent.

Portland, Ore., January 28.?Tho Oregonian's Boise City, (Idaho) special 3ays: "Thousands of cattle aro slowly starving to death in the hilb of Southorn Idaho. The loss to the stock raisers will be tremendous. Every blade of grass upon tho ranges is under from twenty two to sixty inches of snow. This win? ter has not been equaled in severity since i870. A rigorous season was not antici? pated by ranchers and they delayod bringing the cattle to tho low lands. The Jelay has proved fatal, and a well-known ?,tockman said to-day that every domestic mimal left in the bills is sure to meet death either from cold or hunger. ? The Hebrews of Montana, particu? larly in Helena, aro collecting funds and making general arrangements to settle Russian-Hebrew refugees in Montana. The proposition is to work in harmony, if not in connection with the Baron Hirsch scheme. They think Montana an excellent place for the settlement of large numbers of these people, and be? lieve that both tho refugees and the State would be greatly benefited. ? Thomas Nevlllo Douglass, employ? ed by John Mackay, of Eauclaire, N. Y., while on his way from Michael Lynch's camp to the mills, was attacked by wolves. They pursued him for miles, but he managed to keep them at bay until his horses became exhausted. He then re? solved to save his own life, and while passing beneath a largo tree he mado a desperate leap for *an overhanging branch. He reached it, and climbed up into the tree, and was rescued sometime after. ? Thomas Edison says it would be easy enough to whip Chile. After making a landing, which would not be dililcult, twenty men could hold tho Chilean na? tion at bay. All they would need would be an alternating machine of 20,000 volts capacity. One wire would bo ground? ed. A man would govern a stream of water of about 400 pounds pressure to the square inch, with which the alterna? ting curreut would bo connected. Ho would simply movo tho stroam of water back and forth with his hand, playing on ths> enemy as they advanced, and mowing them down with absolute precision. Every man touched by the water would complete tho circuit, get the full force of the electrical current and never know what hit him. Guaranteed Cure for La Grippe.
