The Democratic State convcntio endorsed I'ryan for the Dcniocra tic nomination for president an instructed its delegates to vote fo his nomination as a unit in til national convention rhc I?rvan sentiment was ver strong. One delegate did not wan to vote for a temporary chairma of the convention without first as certaining il the gentleman nomi nated was a iirvaii man. \o ligh Avas made against the resolution instruct iug tin* delegates. As a general proposition we d< 1 ' -1 le liev c i; isi-dructing delegatel?ut ;t- a member of the State eon \? i 11it01. under instructions from th Xenherry county Democracy. w voted t< m' 111 rue '< nis.

I lis r|( I eat. however, has not lessened hi ardor a> a I'ryan champion, an tliis is right. Mr. ISiease's resolution to eliaug the date oi the primary clectio troiii the la^t I ucsdav in August t the t< ?urth Satunlav was defeatec I hei e are sonic o< 1,,i| reasons f< the change and the only reasn against the change that we can sc is that it would take the tahulatio and priming of the returns into tt S.ihhalh. and this was the main re; >011 which actuated the couvcutii 'il rejecting the resolutions. It was decided to have two can paign parties during the suiiune I Ins w ili give the candidates for tf I nited States senate ad 1 State o lices more time to discuss the i sues and present their claims hi fore the people. A11 important amendment to tl Miles which was adopted makes necessary that every voter mu have his name on the eluh roll order to entitle him to vote. Altogether the convention was representative gathering of Sou' Carolina Democrats who earnest endeavored to do what they t'hougi was hest for the welfare* of 'tl State and the happiness of the po pie.

Mr. Aiki assured 1 li,. <_'eni leimin that evervl iiii thai could lie done to secure the a propria!itui was being done. Mr. A ikrn's judgment has been vi diea led. The public ImihFings li has just passed the house, and it eo tains an item for $.">0,0(10 for a pos oltice building for Newberry. And seems to us tliiil mis is might v li oral, lor Newberry is not near as b a town nor as important as Andersi was when she got her first appropri tiou of $.">0,000 for a poslolliee buil in sr. Mr. Aiken was right in the eour lie pursued. Public committee Ilea nigs seldom do any good aiuf oftc they do harm. Certainly they c; <lo no good in the matter of an a propriatioii lor a postolliee buildiu The eoniniiitee has on Pile all the ft ines showing the amount of busine done at each postollice in the Unit, States, and nothing flit anybody eonl say would be more convincing tlui these figures. A long winded speec from a dull speaker might* defeat a appropriation, while a little jndicioi work at the riirht lime by the rigl sort of a congressman might land a appropriation in a doubtful case. \\ have an idea that the Newberry a| preprint ion was secured in this mai ner more than any other. Mi*. Aiken has made good in till matter, and he is to be congratulate And when you come to think aboi it. he has made a mighty good coi grossman. He is now serving hi third term, and during that time h \ V \ , has secured appropriations l'or four ' public buildings in his district?for M Anderson, CJreeuwood, Abbeville and I Newberry, and has just secured an increase for Anderson. What better record could he have made? Can any other southern congressman show such = a record??Anderson Mail. The above editorial is all right, _ except the statement that the gentleman from Newberry who was in Washington "complained mightily" 11 because an "engagement" for him to make "a speech" was not made by f' Congressman Aiken, lie never com1 plained at all, and our usually fair c and clever cotcmporary does thin gen(Ionian an injustice bv the statement. y The gentleman simply reported that Congressman Aiken said committees 1 I, n or delegations did not amount to anything. Congressman Aiken was the gentleman who '' compla-incd mighti- m ! ly." 11 was understod that Congress s man Aiken would do all he could to gel I he building for Newberry and " thai if he got it he wanted all the m?mm '' credit fur it. We are glad it has been " secured and now that it iias been se- i | If * cured il can ?1?> Mr. Aiken no good for his friends to misrepresent the " -.rent Ionian from Newberry" and w? | !1 are satisti-'d that it is not the intens lion of our colemporarv t?> do so.
