The Atlanta Constitution says Mrs. Dr. Talmage, of Brooklyn, was very much surprised the other day to receive a legacy of .113,000 from an old woman who was almost a stranger. It seems that the wo - man oaiuo to Brooklyn about two -years Ago and as-ied Mrs. Talmage for Advice regarding medical treatment. The great preacher's wife interested herself in the - case, and regularly visited the stranger until her death. Since the announcement of the legacy it has been discovered that the old woman had been nearly all her life a worker in the New England cotton mills. She invested her savings profita? bly, and In her old age lived comfortably, and had 913,000 to leave to one who had been courteous to her. This little episode from'real life shows that courtesy pays, and it also shows how a hard working toiler in an humble sphere may accumu? late a competency. The story is full of ] lessons that are worth pondering. The September report of the statistician of the National Department of Agricul? ture makes cotton show a decline of 5.9 points from the August condition, which was 9LS against 85.9 for this month. The condition for the year 1893 was 80.4 and the September condition for the same year was 73.4, a falling off of 8 points. The September condition for this year is 12.5 points higher than that of 1893. The State averages were: Virginia, 100; North Carolina, 88; South Carolina, 86; Geor? gia, 84; Florida, 82; Alabama, 86; Mis? sissippi, 85; Louisiana, 91; Texas, 84; Arkansas, 89; Tennessee, 84; Missouri, 03. The principal csass of ;he decided decline in the condition since the last re? port was the excessive rainfall through? out the greater part of the cotton belt, producing too great a growth of weeds and checking the development of the fruit, also causing, shedding, rotting and rust. The general tenor of reports is "too much rain and heat, causing too great growth of weeds and too little of j fruit." _^ ^_ Speaker Crisp, a man who has made a study of national affairs for many years, and in the city of Washington, surround? ed by great lights, admits that he doesn't understand the financial question in ell its details. Mr. Crisp should come over in? to South Carolina and stay awhile. He could secure all the information he wants, We are acquainted with a few men who are,always writir g or speaking on the fi? nance question, and advising this great government how to conduct its finances, and yet these same men have never man? aged their own private finances weU enough to accumulate sufficient money to buy a burying lot in a cemetery. These men owe nearly every merchant or busi? ness man they have ever had a transaction with to any extent, and rarely ever pay a debt. Yes, come over, Mr. Speaker, and you can meet some of these men if you desire. Possibly you can Induce a a few of them to go to Washington and address the President, his Cabinet, tbe Senate and the House on tbe finance sub? ject six nights a week at a salary of one hundred dollars a night. The Democratic Convention which met In Columbia last Monday night, in ac? cordance with the call published in the Intelligence!! last week, was a strong representative body. With three excep? tions, every County in the State was rep? resented. Anderson County was repre? sented by nine delegates, appointed by a conference, which was held in this city last week, composed of representatives from every section of .the County. The action of the Convention is commenda? ble, and cannot be condemned by any true Democrat in the State. The Conven? tion adopted resolutions demanding that the State Convention, which meets in Co? lumbia to-day, adopt the National Demo? cratic platform, and declaring that if it adopts the Ocala platform, which is op? posed to Democracy, or nominates candi? dates who accept it, all Democrats will be absolved from allegiance to the present organization. This, it seems to us, is sufficient warning to those who have been following Governor Tillman and his lieutenants, not realizing that they were being gradually led away from tbe party of their father?, and gives them an opportunity to stop and do a little think? ing for themselves and dec'de whether they propose further to '.blindly forsake tbe principles of Democracy for the self? ish gains of any one man or clique, who care nothing for principles so long as their personal aims are gratified. We believe there are hundreds of true and tried Democrats in Anderson County who went into the Reform faction hon? estly believing, under the teachings of false leaders, that some good was to be accomplished, but under the recent turn of political affairs, they are now begin? ning to Bee the ??light," not "in the West,"" bat here at home, and will in future work for and in the interest of true Democracy and the peace and welfare of our own people. The result of the Convention in ? Columbia to-day will decide the question. If it planes itself squarely on the Na? tional Democratic platform, well and good, but if it does not, in future every true Democrat will have to show his col? ors. Official Statement.

The answers were spontaneout and bright, showing a mind of no ordinary intelligence. One of the questions asked him was ? Do you believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch 7, Most of it, air. What portion do you think he did not writeT." The account of his own death, sir. Another question : Do you believe the Holy. Scriptures contain the word of God ? ?

Bambebo, S. C, September 15.?On Saturday, the 8th inst.. Dr. E. J. Wanna maker, of this town, performed an oper j ation in surgery, the success of which to us outside of a city seems not more mar? velous than the brilliancy of the diagno? sis whioh it confirmed. Mr. Willie Rice, a yonng farmer of Orangeburg County and a member of a promir 'amily here, has been in exceedi..0o .elicate health for nine months. He ha at dif? ferent times been treated by various phy? sicians, but without benefit and it was expected that he would die. Last week he came to this town to consult Dr. Wan uamaker, who gave it as his opinion that he was suffering from abscess of the right kidney, caused probably by a stone, and advised an immediate operation, which being consented to. he performed, re? moving from the kidney about halt a pint of pus and a rough, jagged stone the size of a hen's egg, weighing over two ounces. Since tbe operation Mr. Rice has been doing well and his recovery is said to be certain. [ A stono In the bladder we all know to be a rather common condition, but who? ever heard of a stone' in the kidney, however, it is said, they do frequently form there, but the operation for their removal compared for that of stone in the bladder is rare.?Special to Columbia State. _ Don't forget our\waiting-room for ladies, Back to Beer. Athens, Ga., September 12.?The meetiug of the Council to-night turned itself into a discussion of the dispensary [ law. It was proposed to try barrooms for two years and then return to prohibi? tion if they didn't prove satisfactory. Mayor H. C. Tuck, in response to calls, took the floor and scored the dispensary and its management in a scathing mari? ner, and asserted that its affairs had not been carried out there as provided for by law. He said the dispensary was a delu? sion and a snare. Mr. W. A. Jester followed in a red-hot prohibition speech and called upon tbe other side to point ont the truth of their charge. Mr. E. I. Smith made some per? tinent remarks on the prohibition side of the question, and Mr. J. B. Too mer on the other side. Mr. T. W. Reed followed in a speech in favor of tbe dispensary and prohibition. Hon. H. H. Carlton spoke against the dispensary. The suggestion was made that the sale of beer be allowed. It was decided by the meeting to request the dispensary and anti-dispensary fac? tion to appoint each a committee of five to meet and see if they could come to some settlement of the question and avoid a conflict. The committees will be I appointed and will get together, but the outlook does not promise a settlement. ?

Thirty-one of the counties in the State sent representatives to the Convention to consult with their fellow Democrats as to tho best policy to be pursued in making'a fight for what they regarded as tho true principles of Democracy. The Convention wa9 a representative one. There were men of all classes in it. Men who have at all times worked and fought for the liberties of their State. Men who are in earnest, but who are will? ing to counsel with each other as to the best policy to be pursued iu the present crisis. A day or two ago it was thought best that those who were inclined to seek a restoration of the Democratic party in this State, as conceived by the Carwyle Committee, should hold a preliminary conference at which all differences should be settled. It was thought best to borrow at least that much of their plans from their enemies and settle such differences, disagreements and contentions as there were behind closed doors. The differen? ces should be settled without publicity by a conference, at which the delegates would be at liberty to speak as they felt regarding the chances of the ticket in their respective counties. At half-past 5 o'clock tbe conference was called to order by Chairman Carwile. The delegates all attended and were bent upon business. At the time of meeting the delegates favoring nominations were in a majority, but they had no disposition to force their opinion upon the Conven? tion, and were inclined to have a free and liberal discussion as to the advisability of making a straight ticket. Such of the newspaper men as cared to attend tbe conference as citizens and pledged themselves not to divulge any of the conference proceedings were ad? mitted, and on that account what was said cannot be divulged. There was no attempt at gag law, and no five minute or any limit of debate prevailed, and everyone who had any? thing to say expressed his opinion upon the situation. After considerable debate at 2 o'clock a resolution was introduced which solved the problem satisfactorily, and after sev? eral fine speeches, by a vote of 120 to 104, nominations for State offices were post? poned but not abandoned, the sense of the meeting being to await certain devel? opments. It would bs very interesting to give the world what made the turn in tho tide, but that will be developed later and be satisfactory to all. As it is the result of the caucus is entirely satisfactory to ev? eryone. * At 3 o'clock the caucus adjourned and tbe regular true blue Convention met. Upon motion Gen. Johnson Hagood was selected as chairman of the regular Con? vention. He thanked the Convention for the honor and remarked that as it was very late there was no use for spoaking. Just as soon as tho Convention was or? ganized Chairman Carwyle, of the confer? ence, took the floor and proposed to the Convention tbe resolutions that had sol? ved the problem for the Convention. They were not read in the Convention, bnt were given the press. They are as follows: Whereas, men prominent in the affairs of the State, claiming to be Democrats, some of whom are now seeking nomina? tion for high offices as Democrats, have declared themselves bound by the prin? ciples announced at a Convention held at Ocala in the State of Florida on the 3rd day of December, 1890, as paramount to all other political principles whatsoever, which principles are centralizing in their tendency and opposed to those of tho Democraito party; And whereas, others bo now claiming to be Democrats have allied themselves with members of a new party styled tbe Populist party, and have declared them? selves ready to abandon the Democratic Earty whenever an opportunity favora le to the success of the so-called Popu? list party shall present itself; And whereas, under such circumstan? ces it becomes the duty of the Democrat? ic party in* this State, through its official representatives in Convention assem? bled, explicitly to declare its position in regard to these disturbing influences: Resolved, That this Convention, com? posed, of loyal Democrats from all parts of the State, demands of the Convention to assemble on the 19th instant, under the call of the executive ?committee of the Democratic party of the State as hereto? fore organized, explicitly to deolare the true and loyal allegiance of the whole Democratic party of the State of South Carolina to tbe principles and organiza? tion of the National Democratic party, and to repudiate and rescind the action of the State Convection of 1892 adopting the Ocala platform as that of the Demo cratio party of this State. 2. That this Convention also demands of the said State Convention to Be held on the 19th inst. to nominate no one to office who is not in full accord with the principles of the National Democracy, nor one who acknowledges allegiance to the said Ocala platform or the principles of the Populist party. 3. That the nomination by the Conven? tion on the 19th instant of any candidate for any office at the hands of the Demo? cratic party holding allegiance to any other than the Democratic principles and policy shall absolve all members of the Democratic party in the State from ob? ligation to support such nominees at tbe general election, whether or not they participated in the recent primary elec? tion. 4. That an executive committee, con? sisting of one member from each coun? ty be appointed by the respective dele? gations, which committee shall be charged with the duty of the better or? ganization of the Democratic party, and the presentation of the foregoing resolu? tions to the Convention which meets in Columbia on the 19th inst., and with re? calling this Convention at such time as they see fit prior to tbe 1st of October. Upon the adoption of the resolution the executive committee provided for was se? lected. The varioun delegations named the following committeemen: Aiken, A. P. Butler r-Anderson, M. P. Tribble j Barnwell, Mike Brown; Beau? fort, H. W. Richardson ; Berkeley, S. P. Smith; Charleston, F. C. Fishburne; Chester, T. B. Woods; Chesterfield, W. F. Stevenson ; Clarendon, E. B.

Hurst; York, G. W. S. Hart. The vacancies will be filled in a few days. As there was nothing more to be done, at 3.15 a. m. the Convention adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. The actual Convention did not not sit for over a quarter of an hour and was a model for a harmonious convention. Indeed, the whole thing was done in the most decent and sober manner. The division as to the advisability of making nominations at this time was sharp, and not until the vote had fairly progressed did many of the delegates see that the prevailing idea of the evening would be defeated. To two speeches es? pecially, as well as to the character of the resolutions, which by the way were from Charleston, was the turn in the tide brought about. It was a complete sur? prise to many, but no one is sore about There was a great deal of earnestness about the Convention, and when the ban? ner is raised, if at all, there will be a gal? lant and loyal army to march under its folds. There is no question about that. When the next Convention is held it is hoped every County will be represented. Don't forget our waiting-room for ladles. A Texas Tragedy. Waco, Texas, September 15.?-At Gateville, the terminus of the cotton belt, forty-three miles west of here to-day a fatal street duel took place, between J. T. Goodman, editor of the People's Voice, and B. G. Armstrong, editor of the Star, both weekly papers. The duel grew out of a personal controversy in tbe papers over the Ed Cash lynching, a few months ago. The two men opened fire on each other just as they met in front of Good? man's office. Goodman was shot through the heart and Armstrong through the bowels, both dying at once. J. G. Bee man, a bystander, Was fatally wounded in the neck by a stray shot.

Can monkeys smoke? is a question which may now be answered in the affir? mative.

In the mean time the monkeys, deprived of a new pleasure, are inconsolable. FOR SALE. ADesirable Lot, conveniently located to the Public Square, in the City of Anderson.
