THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION, Special Correspondence of the Intelligencer. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 3, 1895. The campaign, the politician3 and all have conspired to make the central issue of the Constitutional Convention the suffrage Issue. When the campaign was at its height tbe importance of white supremacy was urged with all possible force, so it was that when the Conven? tion met the greatest interest was manl? iest in the suffrage plan that would be adopted for the future regulation of the suffrage In this State. The Convention has pass ad this stage and is now out of the throes of the suffrage matter, much to the delight of every one. For a long time no one seemed to know exactly what was to be reported by the Commit? tee on Suffrage, of which Senator Till man is chairman, except that it was to be something like the Mississippi plan. That was not pleasing to those who want? ed to clarify the elections is the State, but the Committee report was altogether a surprise. Concessions were made to the conservative members, and in that way the Committee made a unanimous report and presented a solid front. Sen? ator Irby, in talking about the Commit? tee, remarked that it looked as if when? ever an attack was made on the report that some one was behind the log waiting to fire. The Committee was a strong one and seemed to be well organized. Sena? tor Tlllman and Mr. J. P. K. Bryan, of Charleston, took the most active part in the defense of the Committee report. Senator Tiliman was the general in charge, and Mr. Bryan was called upon to represent the legal side of the argu? ment, and to his technical legal argument was due much of the success of qnletly burying some of the other propositions that had been presented. When the Committee report came in it was generally realized that it would be adopted, for the lack of something better. The Conservatives and Reformers gene? rally accepted the plan as the best that could be had. The Conservatives seem? ed to give the proposition more general support than was expected. The illite? rate classes are to be let in for two years, under the "understanding and explain? ing" clause, and after that all electors be? fore being accepted must be ablo to both read and write, or pay taxes on ?300, and most have paid all taxes dne six months before an election. The property quali? fication is made an alternative, and is ex? pected to let In a number of young men who happen to own ?300 worth of prop? erty, bat who are unable to read and write. ! It was to be expected that the negro race would not be satisfied with any prop? osition of which the announced purpose was to eat down the colored vote to the lowest mark that could be done without coming In conflict with the Federal Con? stitution. The colored members were the first to take the floor against the plan, as report? ed, and they kept up their fight nntil the battle was over and the section adopted. The report withstood a strong fire and came out substantially as reported, at least as far as the Convention had gone before agreeing to a recess. First ol all came the woman suffragists, and their numbers varied from 26 to 42. They were vanquished, but it is the pres? ent intention oi the woman suffragists to try again on the third reading of the bill, or to, have it added on the present read? ing. Gen. Hemphill, Mr. Clayton, oi Florence, and Mr. Sllgh were among the principal speakers for the innovation. Mr.' Clayton wanted provision mado at once for the qualification of women who owned $300 in their own names. Mr. Sligh, after the defeat of this proposition, proposed to have the Legislature enfran? chise women if the occasion arose. Mr. Sllgh argued that he wanted to provide an emergency army, bet the Convention came to the conclusion that whatever work there was to be done to insure white supremacy should be by the men, and that there was no reason for asking women for such help; if they were enti? tled to vote they should do so, not on the grounds of necessity bat because of their right to do it. Bat the running fight that was made against the measure came from Senator Irby and his allies, who wanted to take oat of the bill the proviso as to educa? tional and property qualifications. Some of his allies only joined him in his efforts to take oat the property qualification, while others joined him in his vigorous fight to eliminate both the property and educational qualifications. It might be added thnt the property qualification is merely art extra opportunity of becom? ing registered. Aman who can neither read nor write, bnt who owns $300 worth of property in his own name can by that ownership become a qualified elector. The qualification for suffrage shall be as follows: (a) Residence in the State for two years, in the county one year, in the election district in which the elector offers to vote fonr months and the payment six months before any election of any poll tax then due and payable; Provided, however, that ministers in charge of an organized church and teachers of public schools shall be entitled to vote after six months' residence in the State if otherwise quali? fied. . (b) Registration -which shall provide for the enrolment of every eleetor once in ten years, and also an enrolment daring each and every year of every elector not previously registered ander the provis? ions Of this article. (0) Up to January 1,1898, all male per? sona of voting age applying for registra? tion, who can read any section in this Constitution or understand and explain it when read to them by the registration officer, shall be entitled to register and become an elector. A separate record of all persons registered before January 1, 1898, sworn to by the registration officer, shall be filed, one copy with the clerk of Court and ono in the office of the Secre? tary of State, on or before February 1, 1898, and such persons shall remain dar? ing life qualified electors unless disquali? fied by the other provisions of this article. The certificate of the clerk of Court or Secretary of State shall be sufficient evi? dence to establish the right of said citi? zens to any future registration and the franchise under the limitations herein Imposed. (d) Any person who shall apply for registration after January 1, 189S, if otherwise qualified,shall be registered; Provided, that he can both read and write any section of this Constitution or can show that he owns and has paid all taxes collectable daring the previous year on property In this State assessed at $300 or more. The certificate or receipt of tbe officer authorized to collect such taxes shall be conclusive proof of the payment thereof. (e) The managers of election shall re? quire of every elector offering to vote at any election before allowing him to vote proof of paymeut of all taxes, including .poll tax, assessed against him collectable for the previous year. (f) The General Assembly shall provide for issuing to each duly registered elector a certificate of registration, and shall pro? vide for the renewal of such certificate when lost, mutilated or destroyed if the applicant Is still a qualified elector under the provisions of this Constitution, or if he has been registered as provided in section 0. The honors of the big speeches of the Convention clearly belong to the discus? sion on the suffrage question. It was on this topic that most of the set speeches were made. Senator Tlllman and Sena? tor Irby made big speeches. Senator I Till man devoted most of his attention to the consideration of the necessity for some legislation that will forever, as far as can be seen, avoid the possibility of the years of good stealing, which he pictured and which he substatiated from the fraud reports. It was during this discussion that ex Congressman Smalls, exhibited a copy of the amesty agreement, by which there was a cessation of prosecutions on the part of the State and National government, brought about by the interview of Mr. D. H. Chamberlain and the Democratic members of Congress. A good deal of the matter that was used in the last few days of the Convention, while on the suffrage matter, was of a semi-historical and personal character, and will be printed in the Journal as a part of the records of the S t?te. The woman suffragists have not given np hope yet and the apostles of the move? ment who have been here for some time seem to think that there is still some chance for their pet schemo. That the committee plan has the right of way is shown by the following vote, indicative of the manner in which sundry propositions were killed by the Conven? tion: Immediate woman suffrage (Clayton amendment) 121 to 20; Emergency woman suffrage (Sligh amendment) 99 to 42; Confederate soldier proposition (Patton plan) 117 to20; Educational qualification, with extended understanding clause (Wilson) 129 to 16; Recognition of exist? ing registration certificates (Jervey) 126 to 12; Anstratian ballot system (Dudley amendment) 100 to 25; To strike out property qualification (Roger's amend? ment) 75 to 48; To strikeout both the property and educational (qualifications) 65 to 44; Cumulative property plan (Montgomery) viva voce: Plan from colored members 130 to G. When the decks had been cleared of all pendngi propositions there was nothing else to do'but to adopt the committee plan. There are still a number of committee sections unfinished, but it is not thought that it will take very long to dispose of these. The question that is agitating the minds of the members most at this time is when the body will be able to finish up its work and adjourn sine die. After finish? ing with the main section of the suffrage plan the Convention took a recess for three days, and when it reassembles next Tuesday there will be 17 more working days before the Legislature is expected to meet nnder the old Constitution. There are many who think that it will be much better for the Legislature not to meet until next January, and then it can better understand what is needed and how to get about it, and at the same time there will be no such rush to get through in time for Christmas. The Convention still has under the head of unfinished business portions of the legislative, suffrage, and finance and taxation reports. The report of the com? mittee on education, judiciary and cor? porations have not yet been undertaken, and it is entirely unknown as to how long the Convention may want to discuss these propositions. Theohief fight that remains is thought will be brought about by the educational committee's report. When the Convention reassembles Tuesday night it is likely that the suffrage plan will be taken np and finished with what dispatch Is possible. Senator Irby may continue his fire against the spirit of the measure, and, if he does, .it may take a good while to get through with the work. The best of feeling still prevails among the members and they are all trying to do the best they can for the general good of the public A E. Mountain City Murders. Greenville, Nov. 3.?This afternoon between 3 and 4 o'olook Ezell Thackston shot and killed Will Ivey. There ia a mystery connected with the shooting. The shooting occurred at the house of Lizzie Duckworth, a woman of ill fame, From all accounts, Thackston and Jer? ry Black, two young white men, started out to hunt Ivey to settle some difficulty between Ivey and Thackston. They went to tho house of the Duckworth wo? man and knocked at the door. Lizzie Duckworth replied to the aignal and in? formed the young men that they could not come In. Thackston pushed the door open and Ivey came Into the hall from one of the rooms, It seems that some words passed between Ivey and Thacka ton?the lie, it is said?when the latter pulled his pistol and commenced firing on Ivey. The first bullet struck Ivey In the stomach, the second in the arm and a third shot entered the door, three shots being fired by Thackston. ' Ivey stepped back as he was shot ana fell on the floor and died in a few minutes. Thackston went to his home, where he was arrested by Police Sergeant Hall. Black was also arrested as an accessory. The coroner is holding an inquest tonight No one seems to know the cause of the difficulty between Ivey and Thackston, but it is supposed from the circumstances that jerlonsy was the trouble, as both were visitors of the Duckworth woman. Ivey Is from Augusta and has a wife and children in that city. A short distance from the place where this tragedy occurred and about the same time, two negroes. Will Cousins and Fonsy Chandler, had a difficulty in which Cousins carved Chandler across the breast with a razor. Tonight it Is reported that the cut Is very serious and the negro may die. The negroes were greatly enraged at Cousins and made an effort to kill him, bot he escaped and sought refuge in the station house.?Special to Col. State. A Unique Entertainment. Miss Lizzie L. Sturgeon, a native of Carlisle, Pa., now in Charleston, has secured a space in the main building of the fair for her fancy work bazaar during fair week. An advance notice of her says: One of the most enriona and in? teresting proofs of human study, inge? nuity and perseverance can accomplish, even in the fact of natural disadvantages, is shown in the person of Miss Lizzie L. Sturgeon, a native of Carlisle, Pa., who was born without, shoulder blades, and for the first time will visit your town. The little lady's hands are dependent vr p", bnt they are now, as they have been om infancy, inactive, and she must -orefore rely on her feet and toes for services ordinarily manual. In stand? ing by her aide you certainly will be interested in the lady's needle and fancy work. Miss Sturgeon embroiders, croch? ets, draws and sews. She threads a needle with as much apparent ease and surely as dexterous as the average mod? ern housewife. She writes a very pretty hand, holding the pen steadily between her toes. The scissors she wields with equal ease and steadiness. After you have seen many of her interesting expo? sitions of her ability, she will turn to a piano and play with her feet some sweet and pretty melodious melodies, striking the chords with ease and keeping good time. Miss Sturgeon is, in her demeanor and personality, something different from the ordinary curiosity. While her affliction naturally creates sympathy in the observer, the feeling quickly gives away to admiration for her self-helpful? ness.? Columbia State. Corbett May Retire. Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 4.?James Cor and bis party arrived in Memphis this morning. Corbett will give an exhibi? tion here to-night and go henoe to New York. "I will pay no more attention to Fitzsimmons," Bald Corbett "I feel con? vinced now that he never intended to meet me. I would have fought him for nothing." In proof of what he stated re? lative to Fitzsimmons not wanting to fight, Corbett exhibited a copy of a letter from Superintendent Rose, of the Iron Mountain Railroad, to the general pas? senger agent, H. C. Townsend, in which Mr. Rose states that he could have gotten Fitzsimmons through to Hot Springs without trouble, but for Fitzsimmons himself. ''Fitzsimmons aoted as if he did not want to fight," was a sentence in the letter. Corbett said forther, "I am thinking seriously of quitting the ring. I will make up my mind fully on my arrival in New York. There is nothing in the business any more and in nearly all the Stages it is a felony and I do not want to be classed as a common criminal. Still, I believe that non-interference with prize-fighters would make men trust to nature's weapons and would eventually do away with shooting and cutting." An Enormous Cargo. Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 31.?The British steamship the Lord Ern, J. Dunn, mas? ter, capacity 2,647 tons, tbe biggest steam? ship ever loaded between Baltimore and New Orleans, cleared from here for Liv? erpool to-day, carrying a mixed cargo composed of 14,026 bales of cotton, 180 tons of cotton seed, 750 tons of phosphate and 10,000 feet of poplar wood. The total valuation was $594,142. This shipment of cotton is tbe largest ever recorded here from any port between Baltimore and New Orleans and is a record breaker. Fifty Thousand Dollars. Yesterday State Liquor Commissioner Mixson again turned over to tbe State treasurer a surplus of $50,000 making the second such amount of surplush cash derived from tbe dispensary business, which he has paid into tbe treasury in tbe last nine months. Colonel Mixson said that he found he did not need this cash, having enough besides to run tbe busi? ness all right, and so he turned it over to tbe State. Tbe dispensary business now seems to be qnite profitable, and tbe demand for liquor is such that the big gin mill is being run night and day.?Columbia State. The West "Virginia Drought. Kingwood, W. Va., Oct. 22.?The West Virginin Northern Railroad has aban? doned all trains but one a day because water cannot be procured for locomotives. The water famine in this section of the Slate has become alarming. In order to make one train a day the railroad takes one of tbe locomotive twenty miles east on tbe Baltimore and Ohio to procure water. Wells are nearly all dry here and springs have been dry for weeks. The Cheat and Monongabela rivers can be waded by children at any point. Boats cannot reach Morgantown, and all the city has Is slack water. ? Rev. Gam Sing Quab, a Chine man, lectured in a Memphis church Sunday nicht. The report of his lecture says: "He remarked that he bad seen horse? shoes hanging over the doors of fine resi? dences in this country. He bad also seen men carrying rabbit feet in their pockets, and had Been many other foolish customs practiced here. The speaker related an incident that occurred near the college which be attends and in which his room mate, who is an American, played a part. He, with his room mate, was driving near Lebanon one day when a rabbit crossed tbe road in front of them. The American stopped tbe horse, walked around tbe buggy three times, drew a cross mark on one of the tracks of the rabbit and then spat upon the mark. The speaker was always Impartial in his comparisons, but these great United States did not show up to any great ad? vantage in many of them." ? A Pittsburg dispatch to the New York Herald says: "The drought in this end of the Keystone State is the worst ever known, lhere is less than a loot of water in the Ohio River, and the great artery of traffic is like a stagnant mill pond. Navigation, except in skins and flat boats, has been entirely suspended, and scores of steamboats are settling in the mud. It is stated that the earth is perfectly dry to a depth of eighteen feet. It will require an enormous precipitation to moisten it. Owing to the baked con? dition of the ground many river men do not expect a rise this year." ? Mr. W. Kinard, son of the Hon. J. D. Kinard, of Three Mile Township, died on the 24th inst of that dread disease, hydrophobia. Several months ago his favorite dog was taken sick, and not sus? pecting tbe fearful nature of it? disease he gave it kindly treatment. In doing so, although not bitten, the deadly virus was communicated to his system and all too soon ended his promising young life. Ho bore his fearful Buffering with a mag? nificent heroism. His bereaved family and friends have the prayerful sympathy of all that sorrow for the close of the bright, brave young life.?Barnwell Peo? ple. ? The Rev Myron W. Reed created a sensation by an address at a Populist campaign meeting In Denver, Colorado, the other night by advising heroic meth? ods for handling election frauds. In an impassioned speeoh he urged that two hundred men be armed on election day to watch the polls, and whenever anyone was detected fraudulently voting that he be shot down on the spot. Aftor detail? ing his plan the reverend gentleman closed with the remark: "That's the kind of a saint I am." ? During President Jackson's admin? istration a pipe was laid from the Soldiers' home, near Washington, to thecapitol, to supply pure spring water for drinking purposes. This week when the pipe was taken up it was found that years ago some one had tapped it and led a small pipe to his own house.

The Biggest Shipment of Ever made to Anderson, and perhaps the largest to any point in the State. The following explains itself. Don't read it, if you are not interested in your County and your Town, and the people whom you call neighbors: SEPTEMBER 18, 1895. C. S. MINOR & CO. GENTLEMEN: I have the pleasure of stating that we have received at this depot, marked to your address, one and one-third Car Loads of Crockery, all shipped from same place at one time. The one-third Car Load had to be shipped in separate Car, as it all could not be put in one Car. To the best of my knowledge, this is two and a half or three times larger than any previous single shipment of Crockery to this point. I understand that you have another shipment now on the way. I congratulate you and this community. You will accommodate us by removing these Goods as early as you can make room for them, as we hardly have sufficient space for storing so large a lot of this ware in ou r depot for any length of time. J. REESE PANT, Agent Port Royal and Western Carolina Railway. You say Anderson is growing. Well, it must grow, in order to make room for the GREAT and GOOD? TEN CENT STO?
