A Levi; Clar endon, W M Plowden, S E Ingram, A B Galloway, S C Williams; Trinity, W I Hudnal, J B Tindal. James E. Davis was elected to pre side over the convention and P W Webber was elected secretary. Chair man Davis not feeling well requested the convention to select some one as vice-chairr an to relieve him if it be came necessary. Messrs. J H Tim mons, E D Hodge and D J Bradham were placed in nomination and the vote resulted in the election of Capt. Bradhlam. The delegates were then requested to occupy the front seats and the various delegation be seated together. Doctor I 3 Woods suggested that before delegates are nominated that some gentleman give his views as to the financial sentiment of the body and then he called for Captain Brad ham, who stated that he did not de sire to bring the "yard stick" into play, but he thought that each nom inee might state his position before the ballot took place. Doctor Woods then secured the floor and after holding it for about thirty minutes with a talk about mon ometallism, gold bugs, silver and other things too weighty for the writer to comprehend, be took his seat and the convention proceeded. The election of a county chairman was the next in order and this showed the ear marks of what will become interesting matter in the fu ture. For the present let it suffice to say that the nominees were D. 3. Bradham and J. H. Timmons. Mr. J. F. Rhame was also nominated but he declined: A motion to have the roll called, and as each member's name was called to state who he wanted to be county chairman,.was defeated, and a written ballot was entered upon which resulted in the election of Captain Bradham by a handsome majority. The convention decided to follow the custom of mak ing the county chairman a member of the State executive committee. The following members compose the county executive committee: Alcolu, E D Hodge; Fork, R L Logan; Harmony, A H D Chandler; Midway, S W McIntosh; New Zion, I M1 Woods; Sandy Grove, WV D Gamble; New Town, W T Kennedy; Douglas, W J Turbeville; Foreston Reform, J H Johnson; Foreston, C S Land; Doctor Swamp, J H Tim mons; Jordan, J Elbert Davis; Cross Roads, A J Richbourg; Summerton, J S Cantey; Panola, C R Felder; Fulton, A I Barron; Pinewood, J W. Ardis; Packsville, J C Johnson; Sil ver, B R Gibson! Manning Farmers' Platform, Louis Appelt; Manning, H Lesesne; Clarendon, W C Chan der: Trinity, C L Emanuel. Tihe delegates to the State conven tion. are Louis Appelt, J S Cantey, D J Bradham, P W Webber, A J Richourg, W C Davis, J W Kenne dy, J J Mitchum. Messrs. S W McIntosh and J H Timmons received the same number of votes for delegates. They agreed between themselves to withdraw,and Mr .1 J Mitchum, being the next highest, was unanimously elected. Louis Appelt offered the following resolution: Whereas, the Democracy of Claren don county, in convention assembled, desire to give expression to the fact that they have watched the course of our representative, Hon. John L. Mc Laurin, and it is with pride that we endorse his conscientious and manly ublic career, and Whereas, we will be called upon at an early date to elect a Representa ive to~ represent us in the lowver branch of Congress, and the record shows that~the present incumbent has made an illustrious name for himself and has proven to the world his sin cerity and his ability as an advocate for the masses, and that even his po litical opponents hold him in the highest esteem, as is evidenced by his elevation to a position on the Ways and Means Committee, a posi tion made conspicuous by the ab sence therefrom of a member from South Carolina heretofore. Be it Resolved, That we call upon Hon. John L. McLaurin to stand for re election as the Representative in Congress from the Sixth Congression al District, and we pledge to him our sincere and hearty support, first, last, and all the time. The resolutions were received with applause and then Captain D J Brad ham came forward and delivered one of his best and ringing speeches seconding them. The convention theni twithout a dissenting voice adoted the resolutions. Wi T Kennedy, of New Town, then came to the front and in a very touch ing speech alluded to the leaders of the Democratic party in this scounty. He especially alluded to those who are now, deadand those who are now living, but must soon pass away in the natural order of things and then turning to the presiding officer who is the retiring chairman his voice be came husky with emotion when he and then offered the followjug: "Re solved that the than:s of this Coilv~n tion be tIe::dred t o Hon. James E. Davis f, r his faithful service to the Deiuweracy of Clirc-ien county and for the honest a:d fair conduet of the nii e cif e 01iv cbairm:'.

Cinian Davis was visiblyv affected by this demonstration and he re tur!ie l thauks to the hav. in a neat au:i p;r;priaite speech. The county chairmiaii-elect an nounced that :lhe executive committee would be called together at some future time. This was a very har mouious convention; not the slightest thing occured to mar the pleasure of the occasion and everybody as far we know is pleased at the outcome. RELIGIOUS THOUGHTS. BY REV. J. 0. GOUGH, MANNING, S. C. RELIGION IN THE HOME. 1. THE INFLUENCE OF HOME. Last week we noticed in this col umn the definition of "Home;" now let us pass on to notice its influence. We, of course, take it for granted that the mother and father, or the husband and wife, constitute "home." They are the ones to do the influenc ing. The children that God has given you are the ones to be influ enced. The apostle Paul had our influence in view when he said, "No man sin neth unto himself." We cannot live apart from our influence. We are continually and daily influencing some one. - Since we are exerting an influence daily and especially upon the young, let me say that the influ ence that mother and father make upon the child may be called THE FIRST IMPRESSIONS. Having grown into consciousness upon mother's lap; having first looked into her beaming eyes and smiling face; having like our dear Saviour, received our first lesson from mother; may we not say that moth er's influence was the first to stamp its impress upon the soul? There the child receives the first lesson in ambition, not that kind of an ambi tion that would exalt self over the ruins of others, that would see em pires crumble and nations ruin, if I can only be brought into public no tice, but that ambition which is man ly and which resolves to be a man, noble and true. One has said that "an honest man is the noblest work of God." Is there any place on earth where the boy would so quickly learn the lesson of honesty as at home dealing with father and mother ? At home we re-| ceive very naturally the first impres-i sions for truthfulness. This being! true, howv careful ought parents to be with their children as touching: the exact truthfulness of each and every statement. If the father es teems his word and promise lightly and fails in the presence of his child. to be true to his promise, will not the child learn the same ? A father in the presence of his lit tle son on one occasion promised his uncle that he would meet him at a certain time and at a certain place. The hour having arrived, the father seemed slow to start, when the little son exclaimed, "Father, did you promise uncle Tom that you would meet him ? Don't you reckon he is disappointed ?" What a lesson that boy taught his father! And oh, whbat a lesson that father had already taught the son ! After you have heard the mother or father say, "Johnnie, if you do that again I will whip you." John nie goes ahead, and before ten min utes he has done the same thing. You failed to whip him. In his young and tender mind he has put you down as one who will not do what you say. I am not positive, but I believe that parents should be cautious how they threaten their children, and when the threat has gone forth then stand by it and whip. These im pressions that are formed earliest in the hearta are either for GOOD OR EvIL. When we are brought face to face with the fact that God has placed in ouI hands (so to speak) the destiny of the immortal soul encased in the body of your precious child, how im portant is it that we shape that life as far as possible for good. The in fluence that a parent exerts upon the child cannot be neutral; it must be either good or bad. It begins at our birth, goes on and on through life, clings to us in death, and meets us at the bar of God. John Randolph said that "he could never forget the influence of a little prayer his maother had taught him, and even in his old age lie repeated it by his bedside as in the days of his childhood". The murderer who, in the hour of' cool, sober thought, plunges the dag ger into the heart of his friend, has stamped an influence upon the heart of his son that time could never erase. Let me be not understood to say that all of the influence that a child receives comes from parents at home. No. The influence of a companion is either good or bad, and helps to influence and shape the life. I be lieve if children are away from home, either at day or night, parents should know where they are and what kind of company they are in. Also, thky receive influence from had books, obscene pictures, etc. But these I would not call direct home influence,, unless you have those things at home and then it becomes home influence and your home needs cleansing. Let us who profess to be Chris tians, so impress our children at home that we are living our profes sion, backed up by our daily reading of the bible and prayer, hence our influence becomes that of God to the boy. 3. THE INFLUENCE oif HOME Is SILENT. Like the calm, deep stream which moves on in its silence and yet no power can stay its flow. Its influ ence is felt all along the banks by the little flowers that bloom and the roots of the trees that drink from its fountain. So the influence of father Great Sales proved by the statements of lead ing druggists everywhere, show that the people have an abiding confidence In Hood's Sarsaparilla. Great Cures proved by the voluntary state ments of thousands of people, show that Hood's Sarsaparilla has great Power over disease by purifying, en riching and invigorating the blood, upon which health and life depend. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. $1. are the only pills to take Hoods Pills with Hood's Sarsaparilla. and mother in the home is like the stream, deep and powerful, and its influence is felt unconsciously and silently upon the youns; or the other members of that l:ousebold. The in fluence of home strikes its roots deep in the heart and spreads its branches wide over our whole being. Napoleon said, "The Spartan moth er, by the silent influence of her home, gave character to the Spartan nation." This influence of home is as lasting as it is silent. Let us think more about the religious influence of our home.. I believe that Christ Jesus lbved home and was happy when in the home of his friends, Mary and Mar tha and Lazarus. YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is impure, and without doubt there has been too much over-work or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such a condition is plain and simple. The blood must first be purified so that the nervons system, and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people without number have testified that the best blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength imparting medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of sleep and general debility all vanish when Hood's Sarsaparilla is persistently taken; in a word, health and happiness follow after taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. For writing paper. pens and ink, at the lowest prices, go to Brockinton's. For that torpid liver try "Thedford's Black Draught" at Brockinton's. Candidates' Cards, FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR.
