a.n - g, S. C . - S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20,1890. THE STATE CONVENTION. Our paper is very largely taken up this week with news from the State convention, the account of which is taken from the News and Courier. This account., although very partisan and exaggerated in several respects, will give our readers a good idea of what was done, and by publishing the account from this paper, we sustain our reputation of fairly and imparti ally giving both sides a fair showing. We have, as a matter of fact, published during the campaign more Anti liter ature in our paper than Tillman, but by so doing we neither desired to change, nor has it changed the aspect of things. Our people are not the de luded and misguided beings they were thought to be. We wanted them to bave broad views, and had no desire to give them one-sided accounts, as the Anti papers generally do. The' fair and honest thing is always the proper thing. Our people are think ing for themselves, and the Antis have found it utterly impossible to bam boozle them. But in the account on our first page this week will be found several inacuracies that we desire to We were a member of that conven tin and were present all the time, but failed to see "Mr. TaIbert leisurely walk up and stand on the speaker's ' orm" before Mr. Hoyt declared -, -leted temporary chairman, nor did we notice any one in the conven tion, other than two or three rabid feows in the Charleston delegation, that indulged in any fist-shaking; and the cries of "Take him down," were ce-tainly confined to that same crowd, for we failed to hear any such words There warbut one disgraceful sa in the convention, and every particle of that stigma rests -solely on Tom Woodward, of Fairfield, and his henchmen who applauded him for his bully-language. And as a little - while later Woodward was metaphor icafy kicked out of the convention his action can hardly be considered a part of the proceedings of the conven tion. When Woodward gave the lie to Dr. Pope, there was considerable confusion, but nothing as the News and Courier describes. The hip pocket business was all a myth. One of the Clarendon delegation tried to got to Woodward, to chastise him for his improper language, but Wood- i ward's friends had gathered too close- I ly around their champion. The whole j confusion lasted only three or four j minutes, and in our estimation was i only a small, medium size row, in I which few were anxious to fighL COMMA OR NO COMMIA. i Absence from our office the pasti week prevented.a reply to the Charles-1 ton World's evasion of our query as to the proper punctuation of the sen 4ee"A, B, C, and D are playing poker." We have misplaced the World containing the evasive reply, but recollect thatin substance it was, "We say it is wrong to place aomma after C; therefore, it is wrong." The World, recognizing that it was absolutely wrong on the grammar question about which we took issue, ingeniously ig ored that part of the query, but, as thoughtlessly as it gave its opinion on the grammar question, it proceeded sarcastically and dogmatically to carve us up. Not one single word of au thority, except its own ipse dinit, is, given. In- all kindness, now, without any irony or sareasmD,let us ask that the bele-lettres editor of the World get two or three grammars and composi tions, and when these questions arise, let that literary editor condescend to consult the recognized rules and an thoities, even insuch simple instances. He will find them different from the traditional rules that govern his writ ings. -In such sentences as "John, Tom, and Bill are good boys," all authori ties we have ever consulted agree that the words of a series should be sepa rated from each other by commas. We have often heard the old tradi tional idea advanced that "and" takes the place of a comma, or reduces the value of a point by a point! In other Words, the old plan was that a comma-t representd a pause equal to the time< taken in pronouncing "tick;" a semi colon, to the time in twice pronounc ing "tick;" a colon, to three timesa "tik;" and a period, to four times Such arule is of course absurdto any well informed mind. Marks -ofi punctuation are not used for the pur- t pose of determining how long we shall pause, but rather for the purposet - of showing through the eye the gram-< matial connection and dependence of I the words in a sentence. There are frequently pauses where no punctua tion occurs; and, on the other hand, it is as frequently the case that the points of punctuation have no effect! reading the passage. The highest authority .on punctua-, .gig iinjournalism should be the Con gressional Record, anid if the World! will but take the tr'ouble to examine that journal it will find that in a se -1 ies of words, in which the last twot are separated by "and," commasar used between all the words in the seies. In the rush of newspaper writingisa it is naturally expected to find errorst in punctuation, grammar, and rhet one, but when a great daily like thei Charleston World gives its deliberate and well-weighed opinion on so sim ple a matter as the simple object of a transitive verb, or the use of a comma in a series of words in thes simplest kind of a compound sentence, we can see no valid excuse for such I egregious blunders as above alluded NO SPLIT. The State convention has been held, and Tillmanism ruled it by a huget majority, 261 to 59. A new constitu --tion was adopted, a new executive1 committee was elected, and the action!i is legal The convention was btthea representative of the people, an ap peal can be taken only to the people, and the people do endorse the actiona of the convention. The talk of a splitr - c-.tn+eu it s al idle boshh Who rill split? W ill sue men as Joseph . Rbkme and Henry L. Benbow split rom tae party and cater to the negro 'ote ? The idea is abhorrent to any )emocrat possessed of a semblance of: efined feelings. A split is impracti able, 'mpossible, abhorrent ! The tntis must and will yield to the will f the majority, whether they favor rillman or not. We have had interviews with many )rominrient men from all parts of the 'tate, and while such men as Snivtbe, Buist, Youmans, Graham, Hoyt, Haz trd, and Graydon will continue the ight into and in the last ditch, yield ng to nothing and admitting nothing, et they will never affiliate with the 3egroes and radicals by bolting the Democratic party. They may, very indemocratically, decline to partici )ate in the campaign after Sept. 10th, but they will not after that date fight rillnan and the pure Democracy of he State. IRBY IS CHIAIRIAN. The old State executive committee ire placing themselves in an awkward ind untenable position, in refusing to recognize the new committee. The ast convention had a right to reor ganize the committee under Article 11, which says that the committee "shall ontinue in office for two years from the time of election, or until the as sembling of the next State convention for the nomination of a State ticket, unless superseded by the .action of the Stateconvention." The convention saw Et to change the committee, and their action is legal. Clarendon county will recognize the new committee, and Mr. J. L. M. Irby as chairman of that committee. Maj. W. H. Brawley, of Charleston, was yesterday nominated to represent the first district in Congress. Tillman has 138 votes already pledged for the September conven ion. He only needs 23 more to nom inate him on the first ballot. Colleton's Democratic executive ommittee met yesterday, and passed Wsolutions recognizing the State ex ecutive committee headed by J. L. M. [rby. Prof. Adolph Koepper, one of the most celebrated musical instructors in this country, died at his home in Dolumbia yesterday, at the age of seventy-two years. The Democratic county chairmen )f the counties in the sixth congress bonal district met in Florence last Friday, and decided to hold the con gressional convention for this district, ruesday evening, Sep. 9th, at eight 2'clock, in Florence. The Secretary of Ihe State of Iowa ;ays: "Of the ninety counties in Iowa n 1888 there were fifty-five which re ported no commitments to county ails." Couple this with the fact that [owa is a prohibition State, and match t if you can with the record of any uigh-license State, West or East. Walter Nunalee, of Anniston, Ala., ho is prominent in newspaper and military circles, has become violently nsane from smoking cigarettes. He 2ad just purchased an outfit when ymptomus of insanity compelled him o give up business. He smoked wenty packages of cigarettes daily. Senator Buist, of Charleston, in a ~peech before the late State conven ention said that the conven ion had a right to elect a new ex ~cutive committee. He was one of he delegates that withdrew from the ~onvention, and the question is now, hieh committee will Senator Buist ecognize, Irby's or Hoyt's ? Capitalists have organized a compa 2y in Augusta for the purpose of man factm'ing a new covering for cotton. he capital stock of the company is 000,000, and they propose to increase t to $5,000,000. The purpose is to ~stablish factories in different sections >f the cotton States. The material rom which the new cotton covering s to be made is cotton stalks. [own With Bolers, Kickers, and Split ters or High or Low Degree-The Mass. es or the People Will Stand by the Democratic Party as Now Organized. [ From the Greenville Xetcs, 15th.] It might have been a good deal better; >ut it might have been a great deal worse. So far as we can gather from study of the arious accounts given ot the proceedings, tundant cause for hope and confidence in ;he weliare of the party and State is given a the action and course of the Tilhnan ielegates. Let us be fair in our judgment. These nen are our fellow-citizens and fellow Dem crats, and are entitled to have their acts md words weighed fairly. They had every hing their own way. They controlled the :onvention absolutely. They were exasper ted by a steady and galling opposition. Eet we cannot see where they took unfair Ldvantages, denied the opposition any -ights or did anything to injure the State. They were not entirely considerate, but :osideration for the minority is rarely an dement in practical politics, and we think he conduct of the Anti-Tillman delegates ndicated that if they had had the power hey would have used it with more severity han was used against them. The convention had the right to elect the emporary chairman. The custom has been >therwise beesuse there has not heretofore' een a faction fight in the party. We can iot blame the majority for using the power md right it had and refusing to take :hances. Circumstances might have devel ped to give the temporary chairman large md important powers. By declining to nominate a State ticket r to attempt such nomuination, the conven ion proved its good sense, moderation and tonservatism. The camne qualities and noper considewmtion for the good namue an d ellfare of the State are manifested in the 'esolutions concerning the State debt. Lgally, it is a question whether the cou eution had the right to elect a new execui ive committee and forma a new constitution. here is much to he said on both side.s. Eet the convention was a legal body, called nto existence by the legal method, and it epresented the Democrats of the State. Its ction is binding on every Deiuocrat. There s no other alternative. If we do not accept he action of this convention, we must join with the Radicals or help them by faihing to np our own party. There is no middle! |ound in this State. The new constitution is in one or two >rovisions a partisan documient. The pro ision against the organization of new clubs, or instance, is unfair to the Anti-Tillman ide; so is the provision that in the cities here can only be two clubs for each polling! >lace. Under this, Greenville, for instance, rith 1,200 Democratic voters, can have but our clubs, while a township with three tundred voters may have six. This is one the few blemishes of the convention's! ork. Perhaps if the Anti-Tillmian men ad remained in the convention they could gave secured a change or modifecation in hese matters. The convention does not give us reason think any better than we did before of illman and some of his chief suppo'rters; mt it confirms the belief we have held all! long that the rank and file is all right. :he great body of the men who are sup orting Tilinman are just, patriotic, and con ervative and muav he trusted to act fairly d discreetly and to refuse to follow any eckless or evil leadership. We Adom n understand the purpore of the delegates from Charleston, Snmter, Rich land, Beaufort, and Georgetown who with drew from the convention. Their action was, at the best, dangerous and unwise. It they intended only to organize and pre pare and issue a protest, that document can speak for them. If they intended to organ ize a split in the party they have commit ted political suicide and, without suffiient provocation, struck a blow at the life of the tte which will be inetfectual only heoause their power is slight. They will find no sympathy here, and, we Lelieve, little any 'N hve Tht miasscs - of the people will stanid by the Democratic party as now organized and its nominevs. They will not regard legal technicalities or fine points of parliamenta ry practice. They will know only that a regularly called, diily elected, representa tive convention of the Democrats of this State has hv an overwhelming majority tak en certain aetion. They will stand by that action and regard all who refm.e to be bound by it as bolters. The upper countics may be trutctd to ive all the majorities needed to overcome any defection or alliance with Radicals else where. We are Democrats. We stand by the party, Tilhinanites and Anti-Tillinanites. If Ben Tillman is nominated by the Sep tember convention and the best man in South Carolina is nominated against him this country will roll up a vote for him which will astonish the natives, and the Greenville Nees will help with all its pow er to do the work. Hurrah for the regular Democracy and the nominee of the September convention! Down with bolters, kickers, and splitters of high and low degree, wherever they hail from and whoever they are! The Phosphate Litigation. To the Editor of The News and Couriei: Many allusions have recently been made to the phosphate cases conducted under the direction of the board of agriculture, and the whole matter seems to be very much misunderstood by the people generally. Having been secretary of the board for nearly ten years, and in that way having become familiar with the history of this lit igation, I may le pardoned for saying a few words in explanation of it, although I have not been for some time, and am not now, connected with the department of agricul ture, and am not an aspirant for any office. I shall only recall a few of the prominent facts, and these have frequently been pub lished in the department's reports. They will be sufficient to fully justify the action of the board of agriculture. The Democratic Legislature in 1878 or dered the Comptroller General to make a survey of the phosphate territory and re port. This was done by the Hon. Johnson Hagood, then Comptroller General. He reported to the Legislature in 1879, amongst other things, that a tract of some 5,000 acres of phosphate marsh land, claimed by Wm B. Davis and C. C. Pincl-ney. Jr., and known as the Morgan Island marsh, and certain creeks on Chisholm's Island, mined and claimed by the Paciic Guano Compa ny, were, in his opinion, the property of the State. At the session of 1879 the Legislature transferred the control of the phosphate territory to the department of agriculture, and imposed upon it the duty and responsi bility of protecting the interests of the State. The department realized this duty and called upon the Attorney General to institute legal proceedings in reference to the property so reported upon by (en. Ha good. The board found, however, that there was n1o law authorizing them to call on the At torney General for such services. They had, therefore, the alternative either to neglect their duty and let the interests of the State suffer, or else employ counsel to conduct the litigation. They adopted the latter course in the year 1881, ind employed Augustine T. Snythe and A. M. Lee, of Charleston, and W. .1. Verdier. of Beaufort, to enforce the claims of the State. The litigation divided itself into three cases: First: The suit against the Pacifie Guano Company, to establish the State's title to the beds of the creeks running through Chis holm's Island an d to recover damage for rock taken. The company employed as their lawyers their regular solicitor, the Hon. Charles Richardson Miles, and associated with him Messrs. Simnonton & Darker and Robert Chisholmn, of Charleston, Elliott & Howe, of Beaufort, and Horace B. Sargent, of Boston. This suit was commenced in 1881 and continued until 1889. It went three times to the Supreme Court of the State. It was tried four times ini the Circuit Court. It re suIted in establishing the State's title to the creeks in question. Just before the final hearing on the sub ject of damages the Pacific Guano Company, which was supposed to be abundantly sol vent, failed and made an assignment of all its property to parties in Boston. The State immediately attached and the issue arose between the assignment of the company and the attachment of the State. A number of other creditors followed the example of the State and attached also. in .rder to settle the conflicting rights it was necessary to institute proceedings in equity and have a receiver appointed. T.lhese proceedings were commenced in the State Court, but on motion of the Pacific Guano Company, after a fierce contest, were removed into the United States Court. The chances of recov ering any money by any of the creditors were very doubtful. But the case wvas so wvell handled for the State that the assignees of the company finally agreed to a comnpro mise on favorable terms. This was accept ed, not only by the State, but, I am inform~ ed, by other creditors who ha'l attachments against the company. All these claims were compromised. The net result of the eight years' litigation was the establishment of the title of the State to the phosphate creeks, and the net collection of' $31,396.79, after paying all ex penses of litigation in all the cases. These creeks are now being mined, I am tol, for the State's benefit, and the State is in receipt of a constant income therefrom. Second. The suits for the Morgan Island marshes. These were two in numnbeir, one against Win. B. Davis and another against C. C. Pinckney, Jr. The defendants were represented by MIessrs. Elliott & Howve, of Beafort, and Hayne & Ficken, of Charles ton. The suits involved the title to the marsh wvith its deposits. There had been very little mining done in them by Pinch ey and none at all by Davis, and, there fore, the claim for money damages was en irely nominal against Pinckney and none against Davis. These cases commenced in 1881, both went to the Supreme Court of the United States, wvhere they were finally dis posed of in 1889. The result was a com plete victory to the State, whose title to ov-er 5,000 acres of marsh land, worth over $50, 000, was finally established, and this is now the property of the State. Th'le damages rcovered were $702, enough to pay costs. But the land is virgin and unmined and of great value. SAfter these suits had beeri conunmenced and were in progress it wvas made the duty of the Attorney General to advise the de prteneit. At that time the H Un. Charle Itihardson M1iles filled the tlee and~ e.' tinued to it.o so urtil 1l5'. On assuin the duties ot Atto m'y 4General 31r. 31ile of course, withdrew from the sunit, but as 1he had or years bieen the regular soheite'r ot the Paci tie Guano Comipaniy, as well as oe o the directors, he~ could not take cha:rge of the State's case against the company. it would, in any event, have been imost detri mental to thme interests of the Stite to change lwyers wvhile the fight was going on. The Legislature took this viewv of the mmatter by eepting these cases from the operation of the Act miaking it the duty of the Attorney Gnral to advise the department. These cases have done more than the mere results above stated. They have estab~lished a principle of the greatest imiportane to the State in the phosphate region, to wit: 'Thamt the ordinary grant of the State iuns only to high water mark and rnot to low wat'r. These are thme simple faicts connected with this matter, and they present a record which should win the approbation of every citizen of the State. It should be remembered ini this connec tion that whatever of credit there is in the cases belongs exclusively to the board of' agriculture and not to the coimmissioneor, as ittwwas the board who instituted the suits and pressed themi to a suecessful conclusion. 'The commissioner was siply their execu tive otticer to carry out their instructions, and no one is more willing to concede hon or to w~hom honoir is due than ('ol. Buhtler himself. it is, perhaps, proper' al-o to add th t the phlosphiate comlimision, so often alluded to, was composed of members of' the Leislature and not members of the boardl of agriculture. L.

A great many persons will iist that it Iakes no difference whether the eggs are beaten separately, or what things are mixed first. But from experience system is required in cake-baking as well as other things. Fiist bcgin by sifting the baking powder into the flour, and sifting the flour several times is an addition. Coarse granu lated sugar is apt to male a eake soggy and heavy. Cake; contaiiin butter should be beaten quite hard after mixing, but sponge cakes very Ilittle. Beat the butter to a cream and then add the sngar and beat arain; next the yolks of the eggs, ithen the milk or water and the flour in small portions alternately beating each time, and lastly the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. In baking be careful to have the stove not too hot., but with suffi cient fuel to last until the cake is done, for any jar about the stove will be likely to make the cake fall. Layer cakes require a hotter fire than loaf cakes and with all the fire should be hottest at first. Loaf cakes should be nearly level when done, if they rise in the center it indicates that they are too stiff with flour, and if it burns before rising the fire is too hot. Always place a piece of buttered writ ing paper, cut the size of the pan in the bottom before putting the cake in, as that will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, and also prevents it from burning. Fruit eakes require a slow fire, and takes much more time to bake than any others. Layer cakes are the easiest and a great variety can be made by simply changing the fillings between the layers. The fol lowing are nice fillings: Fig-cake: take one-half pound figs, one cup water, one cup sugar, and juice of one lemon. Chop the figs fine, boil altogether until thick, let cool, and then spread. 'his makes quite thick layers. For thinner layers and without the lemon take offe-fourth pound figs, seven tablespoonfuls su gar and two-thirds cup of water. Raisius chopped and stirred into frosting are nice for layer-cake, or they may be used in the place of figs in the above recipe. Lemon-cream: juice of one lemon, one egg, one-half coffee cup sugar, and one tablespoon of butter. Boil until the consistency of jelly. Cool before spreading. The following is a iiice receipt for the cake to be used with these fillings: One cup sugar, one-half cup butter, one-half cup sweet milk, one and one half cups flour, one teaspoon baking powder, whites of four eggs, or two whole eggs. This also makes a nice loaf-cake, singly, or doubled for a large loaf. For a cake to be eaten fresh, and that contains no butter, take one cup sugar, three eggs, three tablespoons water, two teaspoons baking powder, and one and one-half cups flour. In preparing sponge cake mixtures Ibegin with the yelks of the eggs and beat ntil light. Add the sugar- grad ually and beat again, then add 'the Iflavoring and water. Beat the whites until stiff and dry, cut or fold them in lightly. Then sift in the flour, and fold in carefully without stirring. Bake at once. Those who are fond of cake which "will fairly melt in your mouth" will be sure to be pleased with this ice cream cake. Two cups sugar, one cup butter, one cup sweet milk, one. cup corn-starch, two cups flour, whites of eight eggs, two large teaspoons baking-'powder. This wili make three large layers. For icing, take whites of four eggs beaten stiff, four cups su gar, one half-pint boiling water. Pour the wvater over the sugar and let it boil until like candy, try in cool water, and put this slowly over the eggs. Flavor with vanilla and let it stand until cool. Put the icing over each layer almost as thick as the cake. Dry in cool oven before putting to gether. Finish it with a soft frosting ornamented with slice- of orange on top, and serve it for desert at dinner. I t makes a very dainty dish. Orange-cream: put in a cup the grated rind of half and the juice of one orange, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and till with cold water. Strain and put on to boil. Add one table spoon corn-starch, wet in cold water. Stir until thick, then cook over hot water ten minutes. Beat the yolk of one egg, add two heaping tablespoons sugar, stir into the starch, cook one minute, add one teaspoon butter-, and cool. Frosting: one cup granulated su gar and five tablespoons sweet milk. Boil five minutes, then beat until cool enough to spread. This makes a frosting that never sticks, and even when boiled too much will always cut without crumbling. If, after beating until nearly cold, it seems to be too thick, a small amount of milk or hot water can be added; but, if exact measures and exact time are observed there will soldomi be need of altera tions. Chocolate frosting may be made by using a trifle more milk anud adding the grated chocolate while it is t ill hot. ifyx.inare-all runz hlou- hi:&venIO:-trrrngth,~ impart strenigth aiid vitaity. tot y.our systtem. if yom are suffern ng iith weakd or iniil:uue'd ee", or gran uhdti .d eyls, you c'an b cure Fye Salve.
