The public are~ cordi ally invited. Peace and Unity Convention. A busy day was last Saturday in Man ning. A circus in full blast; Belle Boyd, the famous Confederate spy, was having her posters put up; and a convention in response to the "Forty," was what attracted the large crowd to town. Soon in the morning buggies began arriving from all sections of the county, and before noon a crowd had gathered that remined us of days gone by. Men gathered about in small groups on the court house square and in front of stores, and go where you would, the all-important topic was, "Let's get together to fight the opposition." Now and then there would be a man who was suspicious of the convention about to as semble. He was afraid the Reformers were going to fall into a trap set by the Conservatives, and that what had been ac complished by the Reformers would bo torn up root and branch. Then you would find a man who would think tho whole thirg a trick to deceive the Conservatives in order to tie them hand and foot so they could not make a fight for the constitution al convention. Again another would with a wise wrinkling of his forehead point oat the fears of the Reformers and show his hearers that the "Tillmanites" were getting scared and the offer of dividing delegates was because they did not have men enough with the ability to make a constitution and they want assistance; that not only this, they were not so certain of their strength and they were afraid that if the Conserva tives made a straight fight the Tillmanites would go to the wall. Of course all such talk was poppy-cock, as every man with a thimbleful of sense knows the Reformers are largely in the majority and can carry anything they set their hearts upon. Men who came here for business and not idle curiosity came with the intention to lend their aid in bringing about a kindlier feel ing between all white men, hoping that in the communion with each other good would finally result. At twelve o'clock the announcement was made from the court house calling the con vention, and it was not long before the court room was well filled. Gentlemen from every section of the county were pres - ent; in fact the earnestness of the assembly was shown by the presence of men who are not in the habit of attending public meet ings, but gave their presence to aid in ac complishing the desired result. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Louis Appelt, who stated that as there be ing no one authorized to preside over the meeting, and as he had taken an active part in bringing about the convention, he 1 took the liberty in calling them to order, that the business for which they had assem- i bled might be stated. He then asked theiii to select a temporary chairman. Mr. C. it. Felder was given this honor, and Mr. P. W. Webber the secretaryship. At the re quest of the meeting Mr. Appelt was asked to state the object of the meeting. which he i did, and then read the call of the executive t committee appointed by the '-Forty," and then also read the county call signel by himself and thirty-five others. After this t the temporary organization 'Was made per- i manent. The question first to be settled was whether or not to send delgates to the i conference. Mr. Galluchat moved that four delegates, two from each faction, be sent. This brought on a discussion. Mr. Appelt contended that before the number 1 be selected it was proper to ascertain whether it was the desire to send any After determining to send delegates the question of dividing them could come up. Captain Davis was called on for his views and he stated that while be was one of the t original signers of the "Forty" call, he could not see what could be accomplished by sending delegates to Columbia, inas much as the whole thing was advisory and not binding upoa anyone; and as the mat ter would have to be finally settled by the counties, he wis in favor of reaching a set tlement then, for that reason he was op posed to seadng delegates. M. H. B Bichardson, in response to a .al for hinm aid that he came to the meet- I Ifor the purpose of listening and not ta1 'ngt tat it was his sincere wish to see< our peepe working together, and that he was ansous to lend his efforts to that end. He thoight good could result from the con ferene in Columbia, and that while there was zothing binding, yet something might be aicomplished by which all the white I mern the State could work harmoniously.. Hetherefore hoped that a delegation would besent. Captain D. J. Bradham f'YIwed Maj. Iichardson, and after stating that when he antered the meeting he was inclined to think that there was no necessity to send a delegation to Columbia, but after hcaring the remarks of Maij. Richardson he became impressed with them and changed his mind. He thought it would be for the best that delegates be sent. He then spoke of what the "Forty" had accomplished; that they had started a movement which1 had gathered momentum as it went and that it had gone on beyond their expecta tions. He then spoke of the division of delegates to the constitutional convention; that he was in favor of an equitable divis ion, factional differences should not be I brought in; that he wanted the white men to get together without a sacrifice ot prin iple. He said he was ready and willing to make fair terms with white men, but that he would not allow himself to be threatened; that when white men came to him to say "if you do not give us what we ask we will appeal to the negro," he would tell them to go, he w--uld have none of it, and that he was in for white man's supre macy and would have it at whatever cost. He made an eloquent and patriotic appeal for the white men to stand toozther for the sake of this and future gen,:rations. At the conclusion ot his remarks the hall rang with applause. At this jnceture Mr. 11. L. Logan moved that a committee of three be appointed to go out and invite Col. H. L. Ben bow into I the hall. Mr. Logan stated that Col. Ben bow was in town and that he and others would like to hear from hm. This motion was opposed by Mr. ,Appelt, who stated that whil, he would be delighted to see CoL Benbow in the hall and to hear fromu him, he was oppo.ed to send a special coin nttee out for him, for the reason that a ] publie ciail had been miade through the newspapers, and if the Colonel desired to participate, he was at Ihberty to do so; thatI his not attending the meeting was to beI taken that it was not his desire to be pres- 1 ent, and for the further reason it would be showing an uncalled-for discrimination which he was satisfied would not be de sired from Col. Benbow; that to make such a discrimination would only'lead to others wanting committees sent out for their friends, and the meeting would spend its time waiting for committees to report. Mr. Galluchat eloquently combatted the views of the speaker that proceeded him. and urged the convention to send the com mittee. From the t-nor of his remarks the impression he endeavored to create was, tha$ Mr. Appelt, because of being of a dif' ferent faction, did not want to hear from1 Col. Benbow. Several in the audience warmly called upon the chairman to put the motion, which was then done, and from the number of voices the chair said that he was of the opinion that the motion was carried. A division and a standing vote was asked for, and Mr. Appe-lt reiterated his position on the matter. when Captain Bradham rose and stated to the chairman that as he had ruled that the motion was carried there -was nothing to do but to send out the committee. Mr. Appelt insisted that the motion had not been carried, but that a rising vote was demanded to have it diided, and until the rising vote was had the q1uesti"! w.is still untit d. Caipt 15usi~u rimai stat.i'' th..t he wamte the chair to cali the rising voe -c pon this'i rsing vote the motion to send .' com mitt~eI for Col. Benbow was lost. Then the question whether or not a dele gation should be sent was again discussed and by almost a unanim ous vote it was de cided to send the delegation. The next question was how masny dele gates must be elected. There wais a num ber of different views on this subject; sotue contended that as the confe rence was ad visory in its nature, two delegates from each faction could be sent. Those express ing such views were, Majo r Levi, Mr. Gal luchat, and Mr. S. P. Holladay. Those contending that only th ree could be elected under the call were, Maj. Richardson, Col. B. P. Barron, James E. Davis, and L. Ap pelt. Mr. E. G. DuBose wanted two Con servatives and one Reformer sent, and gave as his reason that the majority, if they were sincre, could afford to be liberal. Mr. James E. Davis rose and said that there was no use in secreting anything, that he was of the opinion that an equal ivion onld not be had in this county, that the Reform faction, taking the vote of 1892 as a basis, was 1,056 against 485 when both sides polled their full strength, and that being the case he wanted two Reform ers and one Conservative sent. The men tion of factions at this time ought not to have been made, and we are satisfied that had not Mr. DuBose started it Mr. Davis would not have mentioned the factions in this discussion, as it was the desire to keep it out if possible. Captain Joseph Sprott thought that if it would be wrong to send four delegates, then only two should be sent. As before stated, this natter provoked considerible discussion, which at times bordered on to warmth. when the camel's back was broken by Dr. Woods, who, after giving the con vention his views, proposed that eight del egates be sent. The matter was finally settled by the convention deciding to com ply strictly with the call. Mr. E. D. Hodge then moved that no nominations be made, and thb.t the dele gates be elected by a primary vote. The plan suggested by him was for the chair to appoint tellers and each person write a ticket with the names of three delegates, the three receiving the highest vote be de clarsd the choice of the convention. Dr. Woods objected to the plan, a. some men tuight be electea who could not g >. and that it nominations were made from th.e door it would give every man an op portunity of accepting or declining. Mr. Hodge's motion and plan was recept ed and the election ordered. The court room presented an animated scene. Men were running about to consult with their friends to find ont who to vote for, and who were the best men to get for the place, etc. The ballot resulted in declaring Captain D. J. Bradham, Major H. B. Richardson, and Louis Appelt the choice of the convention, ifter which the delegates were given the power to fill in vacancies that may arise on the delegation. The convention unanimously adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, the people of South Carolina, it the last general election, expressed by their vot-s a desire to have a constitutional .onvention, and in accortlanca with said ex pression the General Assembly made pro visions to lold saiI convention; and realiz ng that changing the constitution of a State is a serious undertaking, and that noderation and patriotism should be up >ermost it, the minds and hearts cf men vho shall be entrusted with this grave re ;ponsibility. Resolved, that we, as Democrats of Clar mdon county, in mas-ineeting assembled, bink it wise for all Denocrats to lay aside actional prejudices and come together for he puirpose of divising souie means where yy our prineiples inay be retintauned; at he Same tine have our election of dele ;tes to the constitutioratI convention with mt strife and friction between white men. Resolved, it is our understanding that he conference to be held in Columbi-. on lie 2Gth instant is for the purpose of coun eling with Demuocrats from tie varions ounties of the State to sugg-:st a plan to he white voters whereby an apgeal to the egro vote may be averted. Resolved, we denounce the action of rhite men who are now endeavoring to ex ite the negroes and stir them into political .tivity, and we hereby piace ourselves on ecord, above all things else, and at all azards to sustain and maintain the supre aacy of white man's government in South ,arolina. Resolved, for the purpose of avecting trife and bitterness in the election of del gates to the constitutional convention, and he further puipose of uniting the Democ acy that they may march to the polls in olid phalanx on this important question, re endorse the sentiments expressed in the onferance call, amd we suggest to the -oters in making their selection for dele ates to said convention, that they select en of wisdom, moderation and patriotism rithout regard to factional adherance. Resolved, that we stand ready and wil ing to aid in bringing about a spirit of tarmony and peace in the Democratic anks, and that we recognize the State Demo rtic executive committee to be the only .uthorized head of the party in this State. Resolved, Recognizing that we are not authorized to bind the voters by any action re may take here to-day, but that such ao ion is advisory subject to the approval of he regular organized Democracy. )emocrats of South Carolina: Though every other man in our State were to favor another conflict >f words, arguments and sentiments etween the two parties, (Straight >ts and Reformers) I would stand n their midst with thie snowy flag of yeace, and~ warn them of the immi ent peril which awaits us, if we be 2t wise, considerate, patriotic and md brotherly. It won't do to say hat where my party goes, (right or vrong) I will follow. Such is the anguage alone, of the partisar and he narrow minded indifferent dema ~ogue. I had rather have a consti utional convention composed en irely of Reformers, (though I am a traightout) than have the white >eople of our State driven any far her apart than the are to-day. Are ve afraid to trust each other? If uch be the case, then we are quite oo0 degenerated,to be worthy either of government or a constitution. Who nade one party so much better than he other? I tell you plainly, that here are just as imany good, pure, vise and just men on one side of our )emocratic house, as there are on he other side. The man who is not villing to be respected and trusted > bcth parties, is the last mu who >ught to call peacemakers by hard ames. He is more than apt to be exactly what he calls bis opponent. t strikes me most :orcibly-, that he mdeavours to hide behind his own >olitical defor-mities, that he may the ette-r hurl his foolish slang at his >etters. Ther e is quite a difference yetween the peacemaker and the ence- straddler. The one holds on to us creed and principles, yet would nake any sacrifice for the good of his tate or country, whilst the other is Screed robber, and without any prin iples at all. If Calhoun advocated ~onstitutions "from the hearts of the >eople," he did not mean the hearts fa "numerical majority," but rather 'the hearts" of current majorities he majority of the minority- Such vas the great Calhoun's foundation or constitutions and governments. alhoun is not a suitable author by my means, for our creed-robbers td demagogues to make quotations rom. By his foresight he knew too well, that "numerical majorities" aaturally run into monachical and >tber strong forms of government. Ibe man who believes in "numerical mjority" rule, would find out that he is not any more a Democrat, than he w'ill o.nly ra I ibeirm prtod~uction just a little oneer and more than he does. I commend Senator B. R. Tillman's wisdom and Statesmanship to his reform brethren. He has had the manliness to meet in a Demo cratic peace conference, which r-ecog nizes concurrent majorities as the best and safest basis for our contemn plated new constitution. I also com mend the wisdom of his comupeers in said conference to their respective factions. When Solomon ordered the chid cut in twain that the con tendiug women might both have a part of it, the women who had stolen said child was perfectly willing to such an unjust arrangement, whilst the real mother of the infant plead ed with Solomon to "let it be given" to the other woman, rather than have itn -m deto eb so cruel a division The above Bible incident reminds me very forcibly of that patriotism which controls the hearts of those who love South Carolina most, at the present critical juncture of her ex istence. Yes, the ear of my imagina tion seems to hear our most patri otic men shouting to the tops of their eloquent voices: Give the constitutional convention to either side of our Democratic house, rather than divide the people of our State with the sword of party-spirit any longer! Let our watchword be peace, harmony, fraternity and union. If I could have foreseen our present troubles and pecuniary distress, I would have endeavoured to have made myself just popular enough with the people, that my warning voice and pen might prevail in be half of the unity of the white people of South Carolina. What reason can be assigned for our having divided in the face of our old Republican en emy and their Southern tools, dupes and crazy cranks? Ah! methinks I hear them clap their hands together and "shout for joy." Let us Caro linians, disappoint them, and their infernal hopes and aspiratious. We can do it, if we but unite as a band of brothers. Oh! it does their hearts good to think that the "solid South" has been broken. If the "solid South" has been broken, the stronger then becomes the great and control ling argument in favor of our being united now and forever, Let us unite and then in the language of the great and eloquent Langdon Sheves: "The tale of submission shall never be told!"

The matter of contest of Congress-. man McLaurin's seat in the 54th Congress came up in this county yesterday morning before R A.. Stewart, Esq., a notary public. Coun sel representing McLauriu are, T. Bouchill, Esq., of the Bennettsville bar, and Rhame & Davis, of the Man ning bar. Before the taking of the testimony was commenced, counsel for McLaurin, the contestee objected to the proceedings on the ground that there was no proof of service of notice. J. H. Fordham, Esq., a col ored attorney of the Orangeburg bar, counsel for Joshua E. Wilson,the con testant, contended that the notice of contest wvas not a matter for the no tary to consider as his duties were not of a judicial character. The no tary decided to go on and take the testimony. T'here were about forty darkies from different sections of the county. First witness sworn was Isham H. Hilton, from Jordan. This witness was one of the list-keepers and he showed up it long list of names that he claimed were not al lowed to vote on account of not aving registration tickets. He laimed that during the counting of votes 23 were thrown out and burned. The distance from the State to the Congressional polls was about 300 ards. John Warren, of Foreston, was the next testimony. His testi mony as well as the rest of the gang was about the same as that of the first witness.

A Sabbath Afternoon Battle Between Families Near Tuskegee. TUSKAGEE, Ala., March 26.-Sunday about dusk a shooting scrape occurred near Armstrong Chapel, 8 miles from here, which resulted in the killing of Saab Riddle, dangerously woundiog his brother Charlie and wounding An drew, aged 8, in the leg. The parties who did the killing are Captain John Christian and son William, who are now in jail. Both families have been on unfriendly terms for some time, it seems from what could be learned of Williams statement that he was letting down the fence near Riddles cow pen when the young men came up and or dered him off. He went home and told his father what had occurred and both armed themselves with guns and returned to the pen. On seeing them approach the Riddle boys commenced firing and Christian then fired with the above result. The Riddle boys stated that they were not armed; that they were shot for nothing and did not know Christian and son were near un til they sprang out and commenced firind at them. No arms were found on the Riddle's by several who were there immediately after the killing. Andrew it is said, who with his sister preeceeded his father and mother, af ter hearing the report of the guns, started towards his brother, when one of the Christian men said: "There's another G-d d-m Riddle-shoot him. The grand jury will probably investi gate the case next week. ' YELLOW FEVER THE RESULT. One of the Probable ConseQuences of Spain's Troops Going to Caba. WASHINGTON, March 25.-The insur rection in Cuba may be as much mo ment as affecting the interests and wel fare of the United States in a direction which public attention has not been heretofore directed. It has, however, not escaped the vigilance of the officials of the marine hospital service, who are much concerned over the aspect of the matter. Said Surgeon General Wyman yesterday: The prospects for the coming season, In a sanitary point of view, are most encouraging. We shall probably go through the summer without experiencing %n epidemic of any sort. The only point of danger is Cuba. If Spain sends 8.000 unacclimated troops to that Island, as the dispatches indicate may be done, then we shall have to look out for yellow fever. It will inevitably strike among those raw troops, and the disease will rage with unusual viru lence in Havana. From there tb the United States is not a night's ride, and only the most igorous precautions and the exercise of the utmost vigilance will keep it from our borders. CARLISLE TO STUMP KENTUCKY Reported That the Secretary Would Like Senator Blackburn's Seat.
