I ■ M I REFUSES 'to WVn*E SUCH IS THE DECISION OF CHARLES- TON CONSERVATIVES. Vkm KMsasnmandatloii of the Kxecatlve Ceauelttee of the Coooty Uimrerded toy the County Coneentlon, Which Body De- cllnes to Divide. JT Charleston, 8. g., July 17.—In the Democratic County Convention which met yesterday the recommendation of the Executive Committee that the det ention from this county to the con stitutional convention be equally di vided between the Conservatives and Reformers was rejected, and Charles ton will send a full delegation of Con servatives to the constitutional con vention. After the organization of the county convention Mr. A. 8. Farrow offered the following resolution in the interest of harmony: Whereas there is a difference of opinion among the members of this convention as to the advisability of a division of delegates to be sent to the constitutional convention two factions of the Democratic party. And whereas it is important .that harmony should her preserved in\ur own faction. ' Be it resolved that a committee con sisting of four -from each club be re commended for appointment by the chairman of the delegation to the chairman of the convention; that the- committee so appointed retire, report back to the convention as to the advi sability of a division with such re commendations *as to such committee may seem best. Mr. Fiahburne objected that it was the attempt of a few men to forestall the action of the body. A. L. Brodie moved that the resolu tion be laid on the table. Mr. Barnwell asked that the motion be withdrawn for a few moments and made an earnest appeal against it. Mr. Frank Kressell wanted the body to transact its own business. He did not propose to be run by Mr. Barn well. . ^ A vote was then taken on the mo tion to lay Mr. Farrow's resolution on the table which was adopted. Now everybody knew that all of this was merely a part of the prelimi nary skirmish, and some interest was felt in knowing from what quarter the real fight was coming. That point was very soon settled by the appear ance of Mr. Tupper on his feet, with a written document in his hand. The paper contained the following resolu tions: Whereas, Senator B. R. Tillman and Governor John Gary Evans have each repudiated the agreement entered into with Messrs. Joseph Barnwell, J. Q, TTttjmphill nitiAPu whereby an equal division of delegates to the con stitutional convention should be giv en to the Conservative Democrats of the State; and whereas Senator Till man and Governor Evans have both used their influence to prevent an equal division of delegates: Be it resolved, That it is the sense of this convention that a primary be held for the election of nine delegates to the constitutional convention and that no agreement be entered into for a di vision of delegates between the Regu lar and Reform factions of the Demo • cratic party in this county. Mr. Tupper proceeded to support his resolution in a speech. He liad, he said, been thoroughly in harmony with the peace and unity conference, and if the agreement made by Mr. Barnwell, Mr. Hemphill and others had been carried out he would have favored division. But the action of Senator Tillman and Governor Evans in repudiating that contract left him no alternative except to oppose a di vision in Charleston county, Tillman and Evans had entered into a solemn agreement with Messrs. Barnwell, Hemphill and others and the first named men had deliberately broken the compact. It would be been from the News and Courier that Governor Evans had actually ^ I that agreement' What, Mr. Tupper asked, had the people of Charleston gotten or had they a right to expect from the Tillmanites? Governor Ev a ns had disregarded the recommenda tions of the primaries held in Charles ton, Richland and Sumter. Mr. Tup- rone to Aiken to oppose' the fulfillment of per was corrected by Mr. Barnwell as far as Sumter was concerned. Mr. Barnwell rose to oppose the Tupper resolution. He was, he said, by race* training and inclination a fighter. His recorcLplainly showed wnat he was, but it was not always wise for a man to fight simply because he liked to fight. This was such an occasion. He was perfectly frank to say that he was in favor of allowing the opposition three delegates from the county. That was more than the strength of the Reformers entitled them to. He did not favor such a course because the Reformers had nominated their men, on the contrary he was opposed to most of the men that they nad suggested. It was true that he, together with Mr. Hemphill and other gentlemen, had made an arrangement with Senator Tillman and Governor Evaas. Those men had gone back on it. Re was not a man to call names, for he stuck to-what he said. He would simply say that Sen ator Tillman signed the contract and then repudiated it. He reviewed the political history of the State for the last few months. No one would deny that by the action of the Conservatives after the Goff in junction had been issued temptation had been given to Senator Tulman, had promptly gotten out at it. r df the State, the masses of wanted a division.

Baltimore, July 18.—The delegates and visitors to the fifth International Conference of the Baptist Young Peo ple Union of America continued to ar rive throughout the night and early minority. It was simple folfy to claim l^rning hours until, at 10 o’clock^ that because a man is a TilTtnanite & the ^ were ton thousand congregated m the mammoth tent located at the Madison avenue entrance to Druid Hill Park.

The following names were put in nomination: B. P. Cunningham, K. S. Tupper, J. L. Qliver, Wm. Fitch, Jajian MitoheUrPatrick' Galvin, F. J. vereux, W. H. Thomas, Fleetwood Gruver, J. P. K. Bryan, Geo. S. Le- gare. A. S.Farrow, W. C. Mullar, E. D. Hollings, Geu Edward McCmdy, Mr. J. H. Thayer, Frank Kressell. Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell’s name wu put in nomination, but he posi tively declined, saying his policy had been defeated. “If you want war have it,”he exclaimed, “but l amonapeace footing.” At this point some of the more in- tellingent delegates saw the danger to which the convention was drifting of nominating a nondescript delegation to represent Charleston »n the most important body which will be held for a generation, and Messrs. Thomas McGarey, F. C. Fishbume and others raised the alarm and at- temptad to show the body the rocks they were rdnning onto. But the ward politicians bad got the-bits in their mouths and confusion rejgned for a time. Mr. McGarey dramatically de nounced Mr. Tupper for offering his resolution and declared that he had driven the nails in his political coffin. The threatened demoralization was checked at this point, however, and it was resolved that a committee of one from each club represented nominate the delegates*. At 3:30 the convention adjourned for a half hour to allow the edmmit- tee to agree upon the delegates. It was quarter after 4 o'clock .when the convention reassembled. The re port of the committee was at once sub mitted by Mr. Poppenheim. It sug gested the names of the following gentlemen as delegates to the consti tutional convention: Messrs. Theo. G. Barker, J. P. K. Bryan, J. N. Nath ans, A. S. Farrow, Julian Mitchell, Sr., Geo. F. Von Kolnitz, Jr„ W. M. Fitch, J. L. Oliver and W. St. J. Jer- vey. The convention unanimously adopted the report of the committee and suggests those nine gentlemen as Charleston’s delegation. A Novel Obituary. The happiest thing in the obituary line we have seen in a long time is an extended notice of one John Black man, written by a friend of his and printed in the Marion Star. After an enumeration of Mr. Blackman’s sev eral virtues we are given the follow ing touching episodes of his career: “The subject of this notice was, through most of his life, a.dissipated man—drank a great deal of liquor. The writer has known him often to at Marion a week, and even two drunk every day; lying out on d, wet ground at night, or other fortable places wherever he t chance to be when overcome iquor and with sleep. Devilish boys about town would box him up and ship him olF on the train to Wil- mington, as it was said. At other times they would smut his face, neck and hands and let him walk about in thqt condition, and then, to get mad with whoever did him so, would takib him into a store pretensive- ly to wash him off, and give him a wash pan of castor oil and tell him to wash and ‘Jack,’ as he was called, would wash himself with the castor oil. Yet ‘Jack’ would take all this in good-part; did not disturb his equa nimity at all.” ' . The writer is obviously a conscien tious person, averse to concealments and opposed to forgetting or omitting anything of interest regarding the deceased. It is pleasant to be informed, however that Mr. Blackman remain ed sober “fifteen or twenty years” and died at last in the full odor of sanctity at the age of ninety—rather a dis couraging fact for teetoelars. The lamented citizen was a good soldier of two wars but we submit that there seems to'be a alight incongruity some where in this paragraph when consid ered with that alread quoted: “Such men can not be too highly ap preciated. He should be held out as an example toall who follow him.” That the youth of Marion should be exhorted to take as an example pro- drunki tent presented a gay appearance witb myriads of American flags, Baptist Mpion flags and English flags hanging from every post and pole in the place. Across the entire front of the choir rallery is a broad piece of each of the four colors that were selected to repre sent the first sections into which the interest work of the union is divided, green for the South, red for Canada, blue for the States west of the Missis sippi, and gold for those east of the Mississippi. From the top of a large pole just in front of the main stand scores of ribbons of these colors were festooned down to the speakers’ ros trum. The platform from which the speak ers addressed the audience has a ca pacity for two hundred persons. These seats were occupied by ministers. Back of this platform six tiers gave accom modation to a chorus of five hundred voices and an orchestra of fifty nieces. Devotional exercises were led oy the Rev. C. A. Hobbs, D. D., of Delavan, Wis. His reference to the warm hearts and warmer sun of the Southern city elicited the first applause. The heat was almost stifling and every person vigorously wielded a fan for the little comfort that could be extracted there from. As Dr. Hobbs declared the convention open for business a late delegation from Wisconsin marched into the tent and down the side aisles, singing, “Maryland, my Maryland.” A welcome dedicated to the young Baptists by Prof. John G. Robinson was sung by a choir of five hundred voices under the direction of Prof Harry W. Porter. This was followed by an address of President John H. Chapman, in which he congratulated the local committees on the excellent arrangements that had been made for the entertainment of the Baptists. In this beautiful city of Baltimore, he said, we are surrounded by the warm hearts of our Southern brothers, cheered by the bright faces of Chris tian friends, and gladly note that even the far-away Pacific coast is with us. They have come across the conti nent to unite with us. Growth has been ours in the past year that may well make the hearts of our faithful workers rejoice. The day of doubt and questioning as regards the great-work to be accomplished by this organisation is fast fading away. Closer and closer the hearts of our young people are being drawn togeth er, and as we unite hearts and minds we appreciate more and more the needs of the fellowship that this union makes possible. The prophecies ut tered at our first great convention in The Rev. Frederick L. Anderson, of Rochester, N. Y., made an address on “Money and the Kingdom.” This was followed by an open parliament on systematic and proportionate giving, which was conducted by the Rev. E. E. Chi vers, of New YerirCtiy. The discussion was general and very inter esting. > “The Bible Method of Winning Souls” was the subject of an address by the Rev. Johnston Myers, D. D., of Chicago. And open parliament, with the subject, “What has your Society done to promote a revival in the Church f 1 was conducted by the Rev. S. A. Northrop, D. D., of -Foft Waynp, Ind. and the Convention took a recess until 7.30 P. M. At the evening session the praise ser vice was led by the Rev Archibald Wheaton of Mystic, Conn. The Chris tian culture banners for juniors were presented to the pinners in three clases—sacred literature course, Bible readers'course, and conquest mission ary course. The Austin Association of Illinois, won the literary prize and lion John F. Forbes, of Deland, Fla, made the presentation. The Jackson Association, of Michigan, won the Bible readers’ banner and the Rev E. B. Pollard, of Roanoke, Va, presented it. . ' The missionary prize went to the Canton Society of Canton, Ohio, through Prof Charles S. Williams, of Granville, Ohio. President W. R, Harper, of Chicago presided during the field review of Baptist schools. Prof J. M. Stifler of, D., of Crozier Theological Seminary, made an address on “Hopewell Acad emy and its Successors, or the Rela tion of Baptists to Higher Learning.’ The Rev. Russell II. Conwcll, of Philadelphia, wound up the evening’s programme with an address on ‘Wantad, Trained Leaders. FOR CAROLINA’S WOMEN. ALL ABOUT THE NEW NORMAL INDUSTRIAL college.

On behalf of the churches of Balti more Mr. Eugene Levering made an address of welcome, in which he said that no convention of equal import ance had ever been held here. In the absence of Governor Brown Mayor F. C. Latrobe officially wpl corned the visitors and tendered Ihem right within the conffnes of the State. The conference joined the choir in singing, “My Country, ’tis of Thee.” Tne Rev. M. H. Wharton, D. D., pastor of Brantley Baptist church, made an eloquent address of welcome on behalf of the Baptist Young Peo pie's societies. Notwithstanding the perspiring crowd and its vain efforts to appear contented, he assured the hosts that Baltimore was unlike New York Sunday—it was not dry. The speaker’s statement that the Bap tists believed in an everlasting separa tion of Church and State was applaud ed, and when he added that the Bap tiat does not believe in the red hat, but does believe in little red school houses, the audience cheered him again and ajrain- * Dr. Wharton concluded his address by singing the verses of an original hymn of welcome. After the choir sang “Blest be the Tie” the Rev. Dr. L. M. S. Hayes, D. D., of Troy, N. Y., respondea to the address of welcome on behalf of the board of managers and the delegates. His effort was very happy. He creat ed a roar of applause and laughter in complimenting the women who were present in large numbers on their un tiring energy. His peroration was “God made earth, then rested, then made man and rested, then He made women', and neither God nor man has had a chance to rest since.” The annual report of the board of managers waspresented by the Rev. Dr. Frank L. Wilkins, D. D„ general secretary of the Union. Addresses were made on “Culture for Service,” by the Rev. O. C. 8. Wallace, of To ronto, Ont, and on “The Junior Sock ety, the Hope of the Movement,” by the Rev. Roland D. Graxtt, of Port land, Oregon. The convention took a recess at 12:30 until 2:15 p. m. Many of the delegates sauntered in to Druid Hill Park with a box or bas ket of luncheon, and regaled them selves under the big trees and along the shady banks of the lake. vated to the position of baggage mas ter it was the life. I therefore come into this de bate, as my friend will find out before he gets through, to advocate the prin ciples which will be for the best inter ests of the working classes from which I come. I desire to say, however, that I have no prejudice against any man who has been more fortunate than I. I do not think a man is necessarily a scoundrel because he saves more than he spends. I even go as far as to say a man can be a director of a national bank and still maintain his integrity.” Mr Harvey explained that when he said Mr. Hqrr advocated the principles of money lenders he did not mean to say Mr. Horr himself was a money lender; bethought, however, in giv ing the history of his life, Mr. Horr should not have omitted to state that he had at one time been a bank presi dent. ‘ ‘This question will not be settled by a man parading himself as a horny- handed son of toil,’’continued the free silver advocate. “But it lies deeper than that. Perhaps Mr. Horr was at one time a laboring man, but so were many persons who are now selfish bank presidents.” Mr. Havey then plunged knee deep into a discussion of the Act of 1873, which demonetizad silver, but was shortly interrupted by the bell of the time-keeper. Before following up this line of argument Mr. Horr indulged in a little sarcasm at his advesary’s expense. “With considerable merri ment Mr. Harvey has told you,” he said, “that I said it made my head ache sometimes to study financial questions. It would make any man’s head ache to write such superficial stuff as is contained in this book.” Here Mr. Horr flourished copy of “Coin’s Financial School.” After this he took up the history of the post office, the Act of 1873. He defied th« champion of the white metal to pro duce any proof that England had any hand in the Act of 1873. In reply to this Mr. Harvey said that Delmar, the English historian had made it a matter of record that the English bill of 1816 demonetizing silver was for two weeks in the hands of Mr. Knox, the American comptroller of the treasury. This statement, was followed by a denunciation of Con greas. “This attempt to smirch the Congress of the United States can be characterized by no other word than infamous!” shouted Mr. Horr, leap ing to his feetV The man who starts in to do this had better never have started at all.” On the request of Mr. Horr the debate was adjourned to 1 o’clock Saturday next.
