LOUIS AFFELT, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13th, 1895. Keep-off-the-grass-Coxey received 55,000 votes for governor in the re cent election in Ohio. It is predicted that there will not be another Democratic National Ad ministration in the next twenty years. Congressman John L. McLaurin delivered an address to the Confeder ate Survivors in Horry county to-day. The attendance was immense and the brilliant young representative was greeted with great enthusiam. We will endeavor to publishihis eloquent address next week. United States Senator as thrown from his ~ Friday and very p*e finjured. He was goingla t& farm and in some way thelerses became unmanageble to the colored driver. The Senator is confined to his bed and it may be some time before he will be able to get about. There will be another effort made in the Convention to increase the pay of its members, but we hope it will fail as it should. Every member of that body was elected with his eyes wide open; the work was accepted at two dolars per day and it should re main so. To now increase the per diem would be taking undue advant age of the people and they will not submit meekly either. We honestly think the legislature should have fixed the per diem at more than two dollars per day, but they saw fit to make it two dollars and the mem bers accepted on tnat basis. If they have made a bad bargain they must stand to lit. They certainly have no moral right to make an increase o their pay. f Now that the convention is through with the suffrage ordinance the edu cational ordinan will be the next problem for the members to solve. The people are anxiouslyflooking Ito the Convention for an improvment in the'present school system;th~ey want to get value for their money. Will the Convention give it to them? The white people pay nine-tenths of the school tax and we think the oppor tunity is at hand to give them what they deserve. Some of our public thinkers are advocating the abolish ment of the South.Carolina College and the Citadel and take the money which is being appropriated for those in stitutions and put it to the common schools; tbeu there are some who want the constitutional tax eliminat ed upon the ground that it is unfair . for a citizen to be taxed for the edu cation of another (citizen's children. 'We do not agree with either of these Spropositions; for the reason, that it would be a step backwards to tear down any educational institution; " rather let us have more and them better [equipped, then our oppo sition to eliminating Ethe2constitil tional tax is, that it would be exceed ingly dangerous to leave the school r tax to ;the whims, of a legislature. ~want a firstclass system of com ~m schools and if to have them we must ~more taxes, [the people will cheefu t to pay more, but they wants o 9..make - hifts Good local schools S reach of rich and .poor alike is'~ the people are craving and should have; it is what they are being taxed for. If enough money cannot be raised to run the colleges and the free schools, one or the other must shut up andiinthatievent the people would prefer every college in the State closed hard and fast rather than have the free schools interfered with. The Constitutional Convention has ~'fnished its work on the suffrage mat trand in our judgment they could not have done better under existing *conditions. We see no reason why any white man should be disfran chised by it, and we think Senator Irby was either unnecessarily alarm ed inhis zeal to be "the poor man's friend,"or that he was making his fight against the suffrage plan for political buncombe. He certainly has not helped himself to any great extent and has very probably wrap-. ped about him a shroud in which he will be politically buried. The day has come when a man cannot proclaim from the housetops that he has "drawn his sword and thrown the sicahbard away" unless he shows up some good sword exercise. This we do not think the distinguised Sena tor has done; he simply said with a great big noise that he was against the sufrage plan of the committee, and naturally the people expected, that the time had arrived for Irby to display his statesmanship; they ex pected him to step forward with a plan which would show him to be a wise man and truly "the poor man's -friend',, but what did he do? He flikered out like a candle when a drop of water strikes the flame-it was a siz,siz,siz, and darkness came upon the scene and over Irby's political future like apall. When aman hon ored aslrby has been announces his opposition to such an important mat te- the suffage plan, and goes so far in his opposition to charge the aathors of the plan with ingratitude and treachery he must first prepare a better plan; if he had a better plan and it was defeated in the Conven tion, he then could come before the people for an endorsement, but without having offered anything ex cept his bare announcement that he was "against it," leaves him with nothing for the people to endorse. We had expected more of the distinguish ed gentleman, for he is a magnificent campaign leader. He has led the the Reform cause on to victory time and again, and to his credit be it said that his loyalty to the Democracy the and Reform cause has never been questioned. As a politician he ex hibited brilliancy and dash, and his reputation went up like a rocket and illuminated the political sky, but as a deep thinker on questions of public policy and statesmanship he has came down with a dull thud. Exposure to cold, damp winds, may re sult in pneumonia unless the system is keptiorated with Hood's Sarsaparilla. WORK OP TE CONVENTION. Summary of Its Proceedings at the Close of Last Week. CoLUMXA, Nov. 9th, 1895. The Convention finished up the sufirage article last night. When it came up on its third reading Senator Tillman moved to amend section 1 by adding the following: "Each of the two political parties casting the highest number of votes at the preced ing election shall have representation on the board of managers of eleetion at each polling precinct and on the board of county canvassers in each county." Senator Tillman supported the amend ment in a strong speech. Several othet speeches were made for and against the amendment. Mr. Bradham of the suffrage committee, wanted the amendment adopted because it was right, that is all. The people of South Carolina do not want and do not need any thing that looks like fraud. We cannot af ford to do anything but what is fair. He expected the day would be here when the white people will divide and he was not afraid of it. He was astonished to hear so much about fair elections. The time has cO e,ith'this plan to let every registered r cast his ballot and have it counted. After further debate the amendment was rejected-yeas 51, nays 76. Those whc voted for this amendment were: Anderson, Barker, Bates. Bellinger, Ber. ry, Bradham, T. W. Brice, Bryan, Cantey, Dudley. Farrow, Fraser, Gage, Garris, J. L. Glenn, Harris, Haynsworth, D. S. Hen derson, Henry, Hutson, Johnstone, . W. Kennedy, Klugh, Lee, McGowan, Miller, Mitchell, Mower, Oliver, Otts, Patterson, Patton, Peake, Prince, Ragsdale, Read, Reed, Rowland, Sheppard, Sloan, R. F Smith, Stribblin Sullivan, B. B. Tillman, G. D. Tillman, merman, Von Kolnitz; Wells, A. H. White, S. E. White, Wigg. The suffrage article was then adopted as a whole-yeas 78, nays 41. This morning's session was taken up in discussing two matters-the section provid ing for codification of the laws, and the one providing special punishment for sheriff from whom prisoners shall be taken out and lynched. The section as to codifying was at last fixed so as to require annual revisions, and a codification every ten years. The com missioner is to receive an annual salary not exceeding $500. The section to punish sheriffs whose prisoners may be lynched caused a long discussion, wnich was not ended when the Convention adjourned. Mr. Rodgers moved to strike out the see tion. Mr. Bellinger, the author of the section made a strong speech in its favor. There were several other speeches on each side. Capt. Braham said that he felt that he ought to express himself ass shaeri. Ho did not think this ought to be struck out A sheriff who would not defend a prisonei at the risk of his life ought not to be sherifE The people would uphold him. In his aqunty there has been no lynching. One night lstwinter a man came to me and aid there were fifty men coming to lynel a man who was in jail for attempting a cer tain crime. I went out and met them and told them that if they came on I would dc my sworn duty, and I reasoned with them I said to them: "I tell you, you will be har if you attempt it, I have taken the neces sary 'precaxtion to protect my pris oner, and the result was that whet the trial came the man was found no guilty. Something should be done and I think Mr. Henderson's amendment wil cover the ground. The amendmei.t sugget-ed, but not for mally offered, by Mr. D. S. Henderso (referred to by Sheriff Bradhani) was tc punish the offending officer only when tht seizure of a prisoner was "by his neglect o onnivance." Mr. Geo. Johnstone offered an amend ment providing that the offending snherif should be tried only in the circuit in whici the offense was commited. A motion to ta ble this was lost by a tie vote-48 to 48. Pehding the further consideration of thi section, the convention adjourned till 11:3( am. BUCKLEN'S AR2NICA SALVE.

As we passed Foreston on our return from Charleston last Saturday morning we saw a man standing in a store door with one of the most woe-begone countenances we have ever beheld, and it was some little time be fore we could recognize the face; its down cast appearance had almost entirely wiped out the familiar lines. Had that man just received a telegram from Now York to "please deposit two hundred dollars, Janu ary 8.24" after he had invested the day be fore at 8.75, we might have understood the cause of his apparent melancholy. This man is a personal friend and naturally we were worried about him; at the first op portunity to see some one from Foreston we inquired for news from that quarter. It came: it was that Mr. W. T. P. Sprott became the "daddy of another -bounmg boy" on last Friday. which explained the cause of the mysterious woe-begone coun tenance. STATz or Omro, Crrr or Tox3Do, LvoAs Consvr. Frank J.
