Woods a delegate from New Zion made an earnest effort for the appoint ment of a committee on creden tials to ascertain and report to the convention the representa tion each club was entitled to, in order that justice might be done all clubs. Dr. Woods' remarks were treated with derision by the controlling majority, but nevertheless what he said to the convention was the truth, and he oniv asked that Clarendon's Democracy be not converted into an engine of fraud and oppres sion, and we say, unless the present system of obtaining a large delegation based upon a stuffed club roll is stopped, our political affairs might as well be turned over to a small coterie at the county seat, and relieve the the people of any part or parcel in them. A continuation of methods to get into convention with so large a delegation from the county seat as to control, will become so distasteful that it will be difficult to get desirable men to accept public office, be cause, a man with a proper re gard for his manhood will not care to become the beneficiary of a clique, who by a padded club roll have captured the party machinery and thereby become the political referees whereby none can obtain position without the approval of the clique. It was to prevent such a condition that Dr. Woods was striving for, and when the country clubs which send delegations based upon an actual membership get into convention, and find them selves confronted with an over whelming force from a club at the county seat, they will real ize the importance of Dr. Woods' contention at the last conven tion, especially when they see no decrease in the delegations from country clubs; the question will occur to them, how is it that -this club is entitled to such a large represention? If it is not based upon a genuine member ship it is an unjust advantage taken of the country clubs for the purpose of obtaining control of the party machinery. If the club roll from which this great big delegation was 'elected, con tains names which should not be there, either dead. moved away, or belong to other clubs, it is a cheat, and naturally it will be thought there is a purpose in it. The duty of the convention is plain, and every fair minded member of that body must real ize the danger of permitting such a condition to exist, The mat ter resolves itself to whether- or not the convention is willing to surrender the rights of the peo ple into the control of a few power-seeking politicians, that they might become a close cor poration as it were. so that none but their favorites can commune at the political altar: place such power in their hands and they can say '"He who does our bid ding shall have joy and place, but he who will not shall be dammed;" a dangerous power to coilar, and we caution the peo ple against it-it is all we can do. Tne convention is all power ful and can remedy this evil if there is a sincere effort made, but if the few who do want to give justice permit themselves hoodwinked by the sophistry of professional politicians .then there is no hope, and we caution the convention to not permit themselves misled by any one seeking to prevent a cutting down of delegations. It is unfortuinate for a condi *tion to exist which mzake people feel that an unjust advantage is being taken of them, and it was just such a condition which be gun the revolution of 1890. The politicians through the apathy of the people had become so em boldened in their control that it became burdensome, and it only *needed a- leader to step to the front. The leader came in the person of 1B. R. Tillman and the people followed him blindly be cause they were dissatisfied with the then conditions. Tillman termed the politicians in control "An Oligarchy," and he smash ed it, and ,-their methods into smithereens. That "-Oligarchy" was a close corporation, made so by a few politicians who secured control by a manipulation of clubs and conventions, and by it -became the dictators of our polit ical affairs. Again the people have become apathetic, and again have our political affairs become stagnant, so. much so that our methods are worse than existed, when Tillman aroused the people. Endurance and patience are characteristic of our people, they bear ills a long time but there comes a time when it ceases. and then loud and earnest is the demand for justice. There is one party, and every white sented voice in it, this is impos sible where delegations to con ventions are tolerated that are larger than a genuine member ship warrants. Clarendon has about 1650 white voters, and its convention should not exceed 66 delegates, but when a club sends 16 dele gates based upon a membership of 400, when it is a known fact, and which an honest investiga tion will prove, nearly one half of that number of names are members of other clubs, dead or moved away, something is radi cally wrong and shows up in letters of light the truth of Dr. Woods' assertion "Tbere is a false representation in this con vention." Shall this condition continue? It is for the conven tion to decide. There is nothing now to distract the minds of the people, which makes it an op portune time for the convention to render a valuable service. An honest endeavor on the part of a committee should at this coming convention call for the club rolls of the Farmers Platform, Man ding, Clarendon, White and Davis clubs, and others where duplicates are probable, and if it does not find enough duplications to cut off a con siderable number of delegates we will treat the whole conven tion. We specify these clubs, not for the purpose of reflecting upon its officers, -they are not necessarily to blame; the system is alone to blame, because it gives a man the right to vote where his name is enrolled with out limitation as to the number of enrollments he may choose to make, and men without any fraudulent intent who come to town frequently for convenience, have their names put on a town club without taking the trouble to have the erasure made at their own clubs, then also 'we know of the names of gentlemen who live in Manning that are on two clubs, and in the coming convention there are delegates whose names are upon one club and they are sent as delegates from another. These are facts and we give them for the infor mation of the convention in the interest of justice. Oh! says a designing politician 'this can be remedied after the convention adjourns by a committee." No it cannot. The convention should remedy the evil, and it is its duty I to do so before a permanent or ganization is completed, if you wait until the large delegations capture the party machinery, and by this we mean the county chairmanship, and executive committee, you might as well throw up your hands and tell the control-seekers to help them selves. By permitting false representation in the convention it amounts to appointing a Board of Control, to manipulate and barter away the rights and lib erties of the people, a condition calculated to breed corruption 1 and strife TATE OF.OHIO.

However, we would av that it was not Solomon, but Christ. nHis beautiful Sermon on the Mount, vho, in speaking of the lilies, said: 'They toil not."

Very little increase n acreage is reported to your corres iondent. It is generally estimated that he increase in cotton acreage is about 7 per cent; corn 10 per cent and a ecrease for tobacco of at least S0 per ent. But it is safe to say that as much crease in acreage has been attempted s is compatible with the supply of abor. The fall sown oat crop has recovered he back set from a cold winter and is n excelleat condition, nor so with pring sown crop. Dry weather has in ured the later planted grain, but it nay recover. About one third of the cotton crop as been planted, and is up to a good tand. on some farms. Early planted orn is growing of nicely. The candidates have not been around iere much so far, but expect to see hem soon. We hope to cast our bal ots in a body for the best men. Poli ics and creeds 'will cut little ice with hese people.

April 24, was the burial day of J. D. Beatson, one of the prominent men of the Paxviile commu nity. Here has been his home almost continuously for the sixty-seven years of his earthly existence, and the esteem in which he was held was shown by the vast crowd which assembled at his funeral in the Paxville Baptist church and followed the corpse to the ceme tery. Mr.' Beatson saw hard and arduous service in the great war of 1861-65, and oained an honorable name among his comrades for gallantry on the battle field and faithfulness to duty. One of the younger men present at his funeral spoke to your correspond ent of the effecting scene when the gray Confederate veterans stood around the coffin looking into the marble face of their dead fellow soldier of former days. The following ex-Confederate soldiers were present at the funeral: J J Broad way, B L Broadway, D J Bradham, S H Bradham, Thos J Tisdale, T Martin Mims, W W Geddings and Rufus C Lackey. Out of the life of this community has gone one of its oldest inhabitants. We feel the shock that has stricken him down, removing him forever from our midst. May we bow to Him in whose hand are the issues of life and death. Old men, ye who have walked with 3 D Beatson on this long path, of sixty years and more, give, more heartily than ever you have, the few years that remain to you to the service of the Mas ter and by this serve better than ever the interest of men around you. Younger men, you who hope and con fidently exnect a long life and to see many days,' can you not turn from the burial, yesterday, feeling that though life be long, it is soon cut off, and that the ripest old ag- is only useful and glorious in proportion as life is spent in the service of the Redeemer.

After the war he settled at Gourdins and engaged in the mercan tile business, which vocation he fol lowed nntil his death. For years he has been a deacon in the Richmond Presbyterian church and has always taken -active part in religious affairs: and it is needless to-state that he will be sadly missed in this work. His toil has ceased, "taps" has sounded and be has crossed over the River of Death and pitched his tent upon the camping-ground of eternity. Tomor row morning his remains will be in terred at the family burying ground near Gourdins. Besides a wife and four children, he leaves a large concourse of friends and relatives to mourn his death.
