TETE SEPTEHBKB CONVENTION. Tho Democratic State Convention met I in Columbia last Wednesday and per I formed the duties comingbeforeit rapidly and with little speech-making and ad? journed in good humor. There were 314 delegates present, 201 of :hem being Tillmanites, and the remain? ing 50 were Conservatives. In the nomi? nation of candidates and the performance of other business tbe vote was strictly a party one and stood 264 to 50, as indicated above. The following platform was adopted, and it will be noticed that the Ocala plat? form is not even remotely mentioned in it: We the representatives of the Demo? cratic party of South Carolina, in conven? tion assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of the party, as formu? lated by Jefferson, exemplified and illustrated by his successors in leader? ship, and endorsed by our people in the 1 r-joent primary election; and we pledge onr loyal support to the nominees of the National Democracy, Cleveland and Stevenson. We denounce as unpatriotic and infa? mous the attempts which have been made to injure the credit and honor of the State both at home and abroad. The people of South Carolina, consci? ous of their ability and integrity, are determined that every just obligation of the State shall be honorably and promptly discharged. We boldly proclaim that upon this one subject there is no difference or division of sentiment among the sons of the State. The bonded debt of the State is small. Her resources are large and ample. In her phosphate deposits alone the State is rich, and since the litigation in regard thereto has been adjusted, the month's receipts from phosphate royalty for the past two months is nearly sufficient to meet the interest on the debt, and event? ually to pay the debt itself. We earnestly recommend to the Legis? lature to set apart by law any excess of phosphate royalty, after paying annual interest on the State debt, as a sinking fund to be placed at interest and sacredly kept and used for the purpose of paying the principal on the State debt. The Conservative minority offered a platform adopting the platform of princi? ples recently adopted by the National Democratio Convention, and declaring it the sense of the Convention that all con* gressional nominees in the State were bound in good faith and honor to act in every respect with the National Demo? cratio party, etc. This platform was rejected for the one above given. The nominations were made without speeches, the nominees receiving the 264 Tillman votes and the Sheppard and Orr ticket receiving the 50 Conservative votes. The only nomination about which there was any doubt was that for Attorney General. D. A. Townsend and W. C, Benet, both Tillmanltes, were candidates for this office, but in a Tillmanite oanous Mr. Townsend was declared the nomine? of his faction by a vote of 151 against 114 for Mr. Benet. The ticket of two years ago, with D. A. Townsend in place of Y. J. Pope for Attorney General, was then nominated. The Beveral nominees were escorted before the Convention and called on for speeches. Gov. Tillman made a short speech, but of a very different tone from his usual style. The1 'record" was broken again when he closed his speech in these words: "And to those who have fought us I would say. we extend yon the right hand of fellowship, friendship and brotherly love, of Carolinian to Carolinian, with the hope .that we shall move forward together and bridge the obasm if it may be." By the same vote that the Slate officers were nominated the following candidates for presidential electors were nominated ? Delegate* at large, Ernest Gary, Edge field, and J. William Stokes, Orange burg ; 1st district, C. C. Tracy, Colleton; 2d, T.S. Williams, Colleton; 3rd, Isaac H. McCalla, Abbeville; 4th, Lewis P. Wal? ker, Spar tan burg; 5th, J. Steele Brioe, York; 6th, L. W. Nettles, Clare" don; 7th, Joseph S. Hart, Berkeley, The electors were required by a resolu? tion of the Convention to pledge them? selves within ten days to cast their votes for Cloveland and Stevenson, a part of the platform suggested by the minority Dr. Sampson Pope, who was a candi? date for Congress from this District for a few days, was made chairman of the Convention. Mr. W. A. Neal was made the member of the State Executive Committee from this County. J. L. M. Lrby was re-elect? ed chairman of this committee. Col. D. K. Norris, of this County, was made chairman of the committee cn platform and resolutions. While the Convention could and shou'.d have been more pronounced in its adop? tion and support of the National platform and in requiring all Democratic nominees to stand on the principles therein set forth, yet its work in the main was an agreeable surprise to those who recolieot ed the work of the Convention of May last, and it is now the duty of Democrats to work for the election of every Demo? crat's nominee from President to Coro? ner. MR. CLEVELAND ACCEPTS. Grover Cleveland has given his letter of acceptance of the Democratio nomina? tion for the presidency to the public. The letter is typical oi the man and the principles he represents. It is a clear and forcible review of important Democratio principles, expressed in Mr, Cleveland's manly and earnest style. He deals with the tariff question strong j ly, saying, "Such taxes (tariff,) repre? senting a diminution of the property ^ rights of the people, are only justifiable when laid and collected for the purpose of maintaining our government and fur? nishing the means for the accomplish? ment of its legitimate purpose and func? tions." Of the force'bill he says, "the attempts of the opponents of Democracy to intar fere with and control the suffrages of the States through Federal agencies develops a design, which no explanation can miti? gate, to reverse the fundamental and safe relations between the people and their government." His views of the money question will meet the approval of all men who do not wish a hasty and dangerous revolution in our financial system. He says: The people are en titled to sound and honest money abundantly sufficient in volume to supply their business needs. Bet whatever may be the form of the people's currency, national or State? whether gold, silver or paper?it should be so regulated and guarded by govern? mental action, or by wise and careful laws, that no one can be delnded as to the certainty and stability of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of the people should be of the same intrinsic value or purchasing power. With this condition absolutely guaranteed, both gold and silver can be safely utilized, upon equal terms, in the adjustment of our curren? cy. He speaks for honesty in publio offi? cials, a pension role that is a role of honor, not vitiated by demagogic use, the ut? most individual liberty consistent with peace and good order, the prohibition of objectionable immigrants, etc. Tho democrats of the country can read his letter with prido and feel sure they haye a loader and a ait of prtnoiples that command the respect and admiration of the world. The South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society has, in accordance with the wish of the general public, post? poned tbe opening of the State Fair from the 7th of November to the 14th.

I .thiiikJhjit since ho ate the canary he thinks ho can sing. Mr. Tbad. E. Horton, of tho Atlanta Journal staff, who made such a complote exposure of old Weavor's brutal treat? ment of the good people of PulaskI, Tenn., has been reporting the Third Party cam? paign meetings in Georgia for hie enter? prising paper, and well did he perform his duties. Weaver and his lieutenant, Mrs. Lease, addressed large crowds at a number of places, but the meetings were so overwhelmingly Democratic that the Third Partyites gave up tho fight and their speakers left tho Stato. Thousands of copies of the Journal containing the exposure wero scattered over the State, and at every placo whero Weaver Bpoke the peoplo had become familiar with his record. In nearly every speech he would attempt to deny the charges against him, but Mr. Horton was always on hand . with the original affidavits to show that . the charges were true. The pressure was too great for Weaver, and Mrs. Lease finally came to his rescue by denouncing the Journal's exposure as lies and Mr. Horton as a liar. Mr. Horton could not of course resent the insult coming from a woman, but he very properly asked Woaver or any of his followers to take Mrs. Lease's place and he would hurl the insult back into his cowardly face. None of the Third Partyites dared to face the brave and gallant Horton, and he came off victorious, at the same time receiving a genuine ovation from his friends and admirers. Mr. Horton, through the columns of the Journal, has done some good work for the Democracy of Georgia, and he deserves the commendation and good will that he is receiving from every section of the State. Mr. Horton, who is an Anderson County boy, is a genuine "Red Shirt" South Carolina Democrat, and he is not afraid to show bis colors whenever necossary. A Way out of the Woods. 2b the Editor of the News and Cou? rier i We are in the midst of one of the wettest spells tha'i we have had this sea? son. Being confined indoors, I have copoluded to give you a short article on the crops, condition of the country, and such remedies as occur to me that would materially improve onr condition. Our own crops are about as good as the land can make; cotton only tolerably good *, the grass and weed orop very fine. We have our barns pretty well filled with corn fodder, pea' vines a,nd rag weeds, but in spile of these favorable conditions there is a deep depression amongst our farmers, caused principally by the low price of cotton. : The present working generation have known no crop out of which to realize money but cotton. With it they buy all they eat and wear, and much of what their animals eat. The sodden change in the price of cotton left thorn in debt to the merchant who supplied them with food and raiment at a price to be paid with the money that the cotton was ex? pected to bring, but the drop in the price of cotton caught most of us in debt, without any other means to pay with; the merchant wants his money which he invested in these supplies, a very reasonable demand, which often causes the farmer to sell his little all of stock to pay up his shortcomings. This sometimes causes bad feelings to grow up, until there is in many sections a very unreasonable prejudice against the mer? chants. This is too often encouraged by designing demagogues to promote their own selfish ends. This should not be so, for the merchant is a necessity in every community, and when honest and cor? rect, as I think most of them are, should be respected and supported in their busi? ness. If caught acting unfairly they should be passed by, but this class pre? judice will ruin our social relations and finally the country. You will find even among the moot in? telligent farmers a great difference of opinion as to the remedy for their trou? bles. Some expect to get great relief from legislation, but exaotly how they dgn't seem to know. Others, again teem to be on the right traok?after the op? pressive tariff. It would be great relief to us to get the tariff down to a strictly revenue standard, but farther than th?s I can't see where Congress or onr State Legislature is to benefit us. There is one way that this Legislature can work a reform that would add millions to the income of farmers, but whether they will have the courage to enact such a law I deubt very much. I allude to a rigid dog law that will so tax the dogs as to cause the killing out of all the worthless ours, whioh is at least 99 per cent, of the whole lot, and thereby protect our chil? dren from hydrophobia and sheep from being killed. ? This Legislature will be composed al? most entirely of farmers, who are seek? ing something to reform, and here is a ohanoe to do the county a great service and injure no one. A few years ago there were a few more dogs in this county than sheep and goats both. A man may go out a half-mile from here and blow a born or start a rabbit and in a few min? utes can start fifteen or twenty doga. One negro has five. Now, if a man feeds his dog at all, I don't see how it will cost him less than ton dollars each a year. This would raise a hog or several sheep. If we had no dogs, or those we have were confined, as they should be at night, ev? ery former could raise a few sheep, if only ten. It would add millions instead of the loss from worthless, unrestrained dogs. Now, who will take the lead in this re? form 7 Could not the Governor be in? duced to recommend such a law? I know the Constitution forbids a per cap? ita tax, but that can be gotten over by ma? king it a license to own a dog. Iprerame there are not less than one hundred thou? sand dogs in this State. A license of one dollar each added to tho school fund would be quite an item. Think of It and calculate for yourself. Charge the dog with his feed at ten dollars and you have a million saved, and oh arg a him with sheep killed and not raised, where they would be if not for the dogs, and I don't know whero it would go, nut this is the night thief we have to deal with. If sheep and Angora goats were introduced into onr State, enough to consume the grass and weeds that go to waste, they would if properly managed make ma? nure enough to fertilize all tho cotton land that we ought to plant, saving the guano bill. I will not at this time undertake to say how many sheep this State is able to sup Sort, but it would go into the millions, lake a law thas will insure them against the dogs and tiny will be raised, but as it is few men are willing to risk their money in animals that every dog in his vicinity feels privileged to kill. The dog in an untrained state feels that the sheep is his lawful prey. A friend was with us a short time since who is a fox hunter and keeps a puck of hounds, To my surprise he expressed the opinion that all the dogs in this country ought to be killed to stamp out hydrophobia. One of his neighbor's children had just been fearfully larcerated by a rabid dog. This, with the tendency to kill Bheep, suck eggs, etc., ought to cause something to be done to restrain the dog, and not allow him to range at will to the detri? ment of hin neighbors. L. Washington Watt?. Laurens, S. C, September U. Killed lu His Honeymoon* Ashhvillb, N. C, Sept. 19.?The de? liberate murder of Aloneo Rector in Mar? shall, Madison oounty, on Saturday night, Eut a terrible end to two victims in their oneymoon. Roctor was one of the best known and most highly respected young men of the oounty, ana was married two weeks ago to the daughter of a prominent oitizen. Saturday night he was called on by Town Marshal Candler to help arrest two boys who were drunk. Rector complied and just as arrest was being made, Bud West, a notorious character rod up. "Those boys shall not be taken to Jail," he shouted, and at the same time he drew a pistol and without another word fired twice at Rector, both balls striking the forehead of the young man, who dropped in his tracks, dying immediate? ly West put spurs to his hone and escaped to the mountains. The community is greatly aroused. _ j ?. A remarkable occurrence was report to this office a few days since. One morning about ten days ago Mrs. Wil? liam Geddings, who fives in Privateer township, about two miles from Bethel ohurcb. took her baby from the crib on account of its persistent fretting, and after a short time returned to place it in the orib. She was horrified to see a large rattlesnake colled up on the blanket just where Bhe had intended plaoing the baby. She called her little son to bring her a stiok and giving him the baby to hold, killed the snake. The snake was four feet in length, and had seven rattles. It is impossible to say whether the snake was in the crib before the baby was taken up ororawled into it afterwards, although it is probable that the snake. was in the orlb whe? the baby was taken up by Mrs. Geddings.??umtertWMman, ?._ Tfiad. Horton Indignant. Columbus, Ga., Sept. 22.?The Third party meeting here to-day drew together about 800 persons, one-third of whom were Third party men. Weaver and Mrs. Lease arrived at 10 o'clock. They were met at the depot by a committee and oscorted to a hotel in carriages and thence to the opera house. Weaver was introduced by Carey J. Thornton of this city and was received with applause. His speech was on tbo same line as his former ones, consisting of denunciation of the Democratic party and charges that all tho evils of poverty and distress wore attributable to that party. He was followed by tho Kansas Bpoak er, Mrs. Lease, who sailed into the Demo? cratic party lively: Sho extolled Weaver and the Third party; waB particularly severe on the Democratic press and char? acterized the Atlanta Journal as a lying sheet and its representatives as a liar. Thad Horton, tho Journal reporter who got affidavits from parties in Pulaski setting forth Weaver's brutality during the war, was on the stage and immediate? ly Bprang forward stating he had affida? vits in his pocket to prove the correctness of the Journal's reports and would read them. Weaver declared that he had engaged tbe houBe and Plorton should not rend tho affidavits. Great confusion onsuod of cheers and hisses. Finally Horton was taken from the stage. He told Weaver that he could not resent an insult from a woman, that her sex protected her, but he would hurl tho lie in the teeth of any man who would step out as her champion. Aiterwards Horton made a speech in front of the opera house, in which he upheld the publication in the Journal und was loudly cheered. Weaver and his party loft in the after? noon for Macon. There was no demon? stration at their departuro and a handful of people saw them depart. mm Q t?< A Battling of Dry Bones. Columbia, S. C, Sept. 20.?Tho Re? publican bones of South Carolina are going to be given their biennial rattling next Thursday. There will be nothing more than a shaking up of the old skele? ton. No attempt will bo made to reyive the corpse to the extent of nominating a State tioket. The leaders are satified with the hope of having some miraclo happen in the next few years. Of course there will be a fight at the convention. - Republicans can never hold any kind of a meeting unless they get into some kind of a squabble. This time the old time sore between the Webster and Brayton factions will be torn open. The fight will come up in the shape of a contest for the chairmanship of the ex? ecutive committee. Collector E. A.Web? ster, tho incumbent, and E. M. Brayton will be the opposing candidates. Every point will be sharply contested in a way peculiarly characteristic of republican conventions. The only work besides the election of the executive committee will be to select seven electors to represent tbe State should South Carolina by somo miracle cast its ballot for Harrison and Reid. The Republicans were naturally very much disappointed by tbe harmonious action of the Democratic convention. They had hoped for some evidences of disintegration, but are now free to admit that they have not a shadow of a chance to elect a State ticket.?Hews and Cou tier. Preached Against Populists. Atlanta, Ga.., Sept. 18,?The political fight in Georgia has grown so warm that the preachers have begun disoussing the parties and the issues from their pulpits. To-day Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, of the First Bap?st ohurch of Atlanta, one of the most prominent ministers in the South, preached against the Third party. He said: "AH this unjust legislation in tbe in? terest of monopoly hu* its origin in the hearts of New England infidels, men who repudiated moral government and dis? carded the last idea of retribution after death. All these wild communistic and wicked methods which certain elements of the oppressed classes are adopting for the redress of their grievances are in? spired mainly by unbelief in tho eternal verities of the word of God. "The old political parties are bad enough. They must either mend or end. But the new parties, with their agrarian and communistic principles and spirit and their niaillstlo threatenings and methods, are incontrovertibly worse. "1 hate despotism as I hate the gatos of hell, and especially the despotism of monied monopoly. I believe it to be a robbery of the people which a just God will punish with unquenchable fire. But I hate worse and dread more the infidel madness that would tear down the fair fabrio of our government and make a desolation of oar bounteous birthland for the raake of punishing monopoly." -.ii? a> mm - Cotton's Bad Ceadltion, Austin, Tbx., Sept. 24.?Tho cotton crop situation In this section has changed since the last report. Many planters who calculated on half a bale to the acre now say they will hardly make a third of a bale. Most of the cotton has been affeoted by worms and excessive rains during the last few months. Anhiston, Ala.?The outlook for cot? ton in this section is very gloomy, and Elanters are much discouraged. Rust as attacked the plant, and the crop is placed by conservative estimates at 30 Eer cent, below tho average. Young oils are either falling off or opening pre? maturely, and picking will be completed early. Morrilton, Ari?.?Men who have made a careful examination say that in the lowlands of this section cotton is growing all to stalk and no bolls are eing formed, while In some localities tho army worm is stripping the stalks of ] everything except bolls. Charleston, S. C?Terrible rains the East week throughout the entire State ave caused almost incalculable damage to the cotton crop. The rain fall since September 1, in this section has been nearly 12 inches, Drouth and rust are playing havoc with the crop and it looks as if the estimates must be reduced at least 10 per cent, from those formed in July. Bitten by a Tarantula. Yesterday afternoon Miss Mamie Geer, a pupil boarding at Washington seminary, was bitten by a tarantula. A physician was summoned at once and instant means to counteract the deadly effect of the poisonous insect'.s bite were taken, To-day the young lady is feeling weak, but is Buffering more from fright than from the effects of the bite. She did not rest well last night, and to-day, when a Herald reporter called, was sleeping un? der the influence of an opiate. Yesterday afternoon a bunch of ba? nanas was sent to the seminary and placed just inside the front door. Miss Greer reaohed down to pick one and the tarantula sprang from the bunch and fastened itself to her finger. Miss Greer screamed and Knocked tbe tarantula off her hand and it was instant? ly killed by a gentleman present. A physician was summoned and attended the sufferer, wrapping the finger tightly and bathing it in ammonia. Everything la favorable for the young lady's recovery. The young lady oame from Kansas City three weeks ago to attend the semi? nary during the approaching term. Her Earents reside in that city by the Saw, ut no word concerning their daughter's illness has been sent to them, as the at? tending physician does not consider the case sufficiently sorious to make such steps necessary. This is the second tarantula reported as having been found in a bunch of ba? nanas in Atlanta this summer.?Atlanta Herald. They Will be Lynched. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 21.?A speoial to the Star from Topeka, Kansas, says: Passenger train No. 8, on the Atohison, ToDeka and Santa Fe Railroad, was wreoked by robbera three milos West of Osage City at 3 o'clock this morning. The train, consisting of baggage, express and mail coaches, two day coaches, two chair cars and three sleepers, was thrown over an embankment three feet high and the first six cars telescoped. Four per? sons were killed outright and twenty five seriously injured. The wreok ocourrod at a small bridge whioh crosses a ravine. There is a heavy down grade and the train was running fully forty miles an hour. It was im? possible for the engineer to see the mis? placed rails in time to check the speed of the train and the coacheB piled one over the other until the baggage and express cars wero completely hidden from view. Three Pullman sleepers remained on the track, but the others were completely demolished. The fish plates had been carefully re? moved and the bolts taken out and Bplkes drawn from ten ties and the rail bent over to the inside. Robbery was unquestion? ably the object of the outrage. The train carried $1,000,000, in ourrency en route from the Mexican Central Railway to its headquartors in Boston, The scoundrels did not get any. Tho section house at Barclay was broken into last night and a crow-bar, wrench and sledge hammor stolen. All of those tools except the crow-bar were found and the fish plates and bolts, which had been removed, were also discovered. The passengers wore brought to this city at 10 o'clock this morning. Some of tho wounded who could not bo removed were left at Osago City and others were taken to the hospital here. Several passengers will probably die, but tbe attending physicians wil! make no statement until the extent of their injuries can be examined into. There were 250 passengers on tho train, but not ono was killed. How they escap? ed seems miraculous. Tbe cars woro piled one on tho othor and composed a mass of timber and twisted iron in which it seemed impossi? ble for any human being to have crraped death. When the work of rescue was com? pleted, however, all the victims were found to bo alive. Several wero badly injured and a few may dio. Tho million dollars belonged to the Mexican Contral Railroad Company and was being for? warded to that company's hoadquarters at Boston. It was taken from tho wreck and turn? ed over to tho Wells, Fargo Company here to be forwarded to its destination. The Santa Fe Company has offered ?1,000 for tho train wreckers, and several posses are searching the country in tho vicinity of the wreck. Lynching will follow capture. One Man's Awful Mistake. "I mado tho awful mistake of mak? ing love to my own wife one day last week," said W. T. Mason, as be drew a chair np to the charmed oircle whore sat the story teller in the Lindell rotunda, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "I had gone down to Kanakee on a business trip and took tho night train for Chicago, where I reside. The coach was a chock a-block, with the exception of one dou? ble seat, which was ocoupied by a stylish woman, who sat by the window and had her veil down. I received permission to occupy the seat with her, and wo were soon chatting pleasantly. I thought her voloe sounded familiar, but fate had or? dered that I should make an ass of my? self. I tried to get her to raise her veil, bnt she objected that cinders got in her eyes. To make a long story short, I struok up a desperate flirtation with her. She admitted that she was married, but said her husband was a graceless scamp who was always flirting with othor wo? men and neglecting her. Of course, I sympathized with her, and told her that a man who would neglect so charming a woman ought to be kicked to death by a blind mule. Was I married ? Certainly not, Well, we finally reached Chicago and X banded her into a cab. She lifted her veil. It was my wife J This story ends right here." The name of Maine was given to that State descriptively since in tbe original character it was considered ''the Mayne Land of New England. ? The Rev. John Klindworth, pastor of a Lutheran church at Galena, Illinois, and his son, who has obarge of a country Earisb, are causing a sensation by tbeir ostility to the Grand Army of tho Re? public and tho Farmers' Alliance. The son has refused the sacrament to mem? bers of either organization. The father refused John Sass the sacrament becauso he belonged to the Grand Army, and no? tified him to withdraw from the Order or stand suspended from tbe Church. Sass sticks to his brass buttons and stays at home Sundays. The preachers say that the organizations are secret, and a ban has been proclaimed by their synod against such bodies. - m 9 mm Merit Wins.

Buck, the head and I front of the Republican party in Georgia, bos addressed a circular letter to tho Ro I publicans of that State advising them to vote the Third Party ticket at the elec? tion next week. It is said that the negroes will turn ont in full force at the polls, and that the Democrats are glad that Buck has spoken, as bis letter will solidify tbe white people of tho State for the Democratic ticket as nothing else could. The negroes will support Tom Watson, and through his treachery there will be another war of races In Georgia. Col. Buck is tbe man who was recom? mended to President Harrison for a place in his Cabinet by quite a number of tbe most prominent Georgia Democrats three years ago as in every way worthy of so high a distinction. But Col. Buck is behaving very badly these days, and all the white people should turn in now and help to defeat him and the scalawags whom he would use for the purpose of turning the State over to the Republi? cans in November.
