WILL MEET IN MAY
THE DEMOCRACY TO GET READY
FOR THE CAMPAIGN
*
WILL ELECT DELEGATES
Governor Blca.so an Avowed Harmon
Advocate, and There Will Probably
be a Clash Between the Wilson and
for Tiim( met ion of
J 1 ill 1111/11 A V?I V\/0 ?
the Delegates.
The Democrats of the State will
hold their Convention on May 21, at
which time the four delegates at
largo and the district delegates, fourteen
in number, will be chosen to the
National Democratic Convention,
which will be held in Baltimore.
While it is still probably too early to
predict what the Convention will do,
still some of the more important actions
can be forecasted with comparative
certainty, and these will be stated,
says the Columbia correspondent
of The News and Courier.
For ono thing, there will be a new
chairman of the Democratic State
executive committee, for Gen. Wilie
Jones, who for the past twenty years
has held this position, has announced
that he will retire and not accept another
term. Gen. Jones has piloted
the party in the State through many
elections, from the early days of Tillmanism
until the present, and he has
long been a conspicuous and leading
figure in the councils of the party. It
has been customary to elect him as
one of the delegates at large to the
National Convention?ono of the
"Big Four"-?and ho has assisted in
nominating several of the leaders of
the party in the national contests.
Thero will likely be several candidates
to succeed to this position, although
no strong ono has developed
so far.
There will undoubtedly be a fight
In tho Convention between the
friends of Governor Woodrow Wilson,
of Now Jersey, and Governor
Judson Harmon, of Ohio, for tho control
of the delegation to the National
Convention. From public utterances
and endorsements by various local
organizations throughout the State it
Appears that Wilson is the favorite
candidate of the majority or mo |
South Carolina Democracy at present,
and those whose judgment on politi- I
cal sentiment is competent say that
Wilson will get an instructed delegation
from this State. As an example
of the sentiment for the New Jersey J
Governor, one of the Democratic ward
meetings in Columbia recently endorsed
his candidacy. At present he
undoubtedly has the best chance of
winning this State's delegation.
Hut Governor Blease has declared
for Governor Harmon as the candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for President, and will no doubt lead
a fight in the State Convention for a
Harmon delegation. It is believed
that the delegation will more than
likely go uninstructed, but will probably
favor Governor Wilson, unless
Governor Please and his friends can
control the Convention, in which case
Harmon will get the delegation. This
situation adds uncertainty to the
complexion of the delegation.
There may bo some show of
strength in the Convention for Representative
Underwood, of Alabama,
the chairman of the ways and means
comillllieu, iur nut
Senator Bankhead, of that State, visited
Columbia and looked over the
field, it has been suggested that in
ease of a deadlock in the State Convention
over a possible struggle between
the friends of Harmon and
Wilson that Underwood will bo taken
as a compromise choice, but this Is
hardly probable. Underwood sentiment
may so grow between now and
the date for the meeting of the State
Convention that he will be a factor
by that time.
An Interesting story was sent out
from Washington the other day regarding
this very point, the story
stating that the Underwood backers
were going to use the weekly press
In their campaign to build up sentiment
for their man. No evidence of
this has yet appeared in this State.

BURROUGHS & COLONS CO.,
Conway, 8. O.
metto State, is out of the running as
far as South Carolina is concerned.
The genial and popular Missourian
will not, at present outlook, be a factor
in the State Convention.
Who will be the four delegates at
large? Formerly it was the custom,!
at least it has been done many times,
to send the two United States Senators,
the chairman of the Stato Democratic
executive committee and the
Governor as the "Dig Four," but it is
realized that this can't he counted
on this year. Senator Tillman is certain
to be a delegate at large and
Senator TO. D. Smith may also be one,
although he is not certain. When it
comes to the Governor and the State
chairman, the uncertainty Increases,
for the opponents of the Governor
will strenuously oppose his selection,
while his friends will equally as
strenuously work for him. As to
whether or not the State chairman
will he one of the "Dig Four" will
depend largely on who he is.
Summing up the situation it will
depend on whether the Convention
is Pro-Bleaso or Anti-measo as 10
who will get tho eighteen delegates
to the National Convention and who
will compose tho "Big Four." No
matter which faction is in control,
Senator Tillman will he ono of the
delegates at large, but the other
three are uncertain.
It is not the work a man does today
that wears him down, but tho
worrying about what he shall do tomorrow.

Issue.
The Florence Times says there is ,
a great deal of talk in political circles
about Columbia of doing away with
tho county to county campaign this
year, but that sort of thing is talked
every campaign year. It 1b hard 011
tho campaigners and not of interest
to tho people, but each year it in?
creases in force. Generally tho candidates
themselves want tho deadly
round cut out, but tho committees
aro afraid of tho people and so it
goes on.
In this instance the candidates are
both anxious for a chance before the
people. Mr. Blease has always enjoyed
the rough and tumble of the
stump, and he has been saving up so
much thunder for his fight that he
would think himself a very badly
treated man if tho campaign meetings
were cut off, and he is looking
also, after the scalps of the members
of the general assembly who opposed
him, and after every other little
thing that is of interest to him so
that he would be unwilling to give up
the opportunity to meet the voters.
Judge Jones left the supreme
bench to come out before the people
and to meet tho man who, from his
[oflicial position attacked the integrity
of the supremo court, and whom he
regards as the wrong man in the 1
place that he fills. He would not be
willing to forego that pleasure, and

and din of battle. He is a good
stump speaker, and will give a good '
account of his stewardship when he [
meets the people. He is a self-made '
man and rose to where he is by his *
own oxertions. !
He is the man that your long- ^
headed Uncle Ben Tillman chose as
chief lieutenant on the flo.or of the
house because he was an aggressive
as well as an able man and was not ,
to be scared, and ho is clean and
fears no successful attack 011 his
private or public record, it has been
exceptionally clean and good, and
he is beloved of the masses, for he :
is one with them and of them, one 1
who has risen above the masses only 1
in intellect, power for good in the State
and patriotic spirit. (
There will probably be candidates (
in sympathy with the governor for (
all of the other ollices except that of '
adjutant general, for that and the '
secretary of states office are the only
ones that the governor has not had 1
a quarrel with. If It. M. McCown 1
runs for congress as lie is likely to :
do, there will be a number of candi- '
dates for the position of secretary of 1
state, and one of them may be W. !
Banks Dove, who has been assistant ?
secretary of state for a long time.
The main fight is going to be for >
the office of attorney general where
the main fight comes in, and even
so blind a man as the governor can
see that neither Barney Evans nor 1
Hub Evans can win, so that there
are many stories of better men that
are to be brought out. It is also said

CONFESS AWFUL CRIME '
NEGRO FIEND ASSAULTS YOUNG
WHITE WOMAN.
riie Scoundrel Pleads Guilty to the
Horrible Crime When Ho is Arraigned
in Charleston.
The News and Courier says Isaiah
Butler, a negro, pleaded guilty to a
charge of housebreaking and rape, in
i preliminary trial held at the county
i_ii i... Tnurlna nf St
Ictii uy ma5ion cut? * v m *vw, v* ? v.
Paul's Township. The case has been
referred to the Court of Sessions. !
This case is one of the most revolting
that has been brought before
the Courts of South Carolina. Butler's
victim is a young white woman,
who has been married several years
and has a family of small children.
About the 12th of this month the
husband had to leave his wife and
children at their home, on the island
known as Little Britton, while ho
went away for several days to attend
to some business matters.
The negro, who, it is alleged, has
made several attempts at rapo before,
must have learned that the
young woman was unprotected. According
to the story, late In the night
ho forced his way into the house.
During the course of a struggle with
the lady, the man, enraged by the
cries of her baby, reached out and
caught the Infant by the throat and
strangled it Into unconsciousness.
Leaving the woman unconscious,
tho negro made his escape, but when
he first came into the room tho woman
noticed that he was a cripple,
having one leg longer than the oth
er, and by this clue ho was traced to
his hiding place. When the authorities
caught him, they feared the people
would try to lynch him, so they
brought him quietly to Charleston
and lodged him in the county jail.
It is alleged that a number of attempts
of rape have been made on the
island of Little Britton. Though every
effort had been made to catch the
culprit, all attempts have been unsuccessful.
It Is thought by a number
[)f people that the man Butler is the
ene who has been causing all the
filarm on the Island. Butler is a
poung negro, about 19 or 20 yeais
jf age, and beyond the fact of his
lameness, is perfectly strong .and
lealthy. i
EIGHT PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
?.

50 injured as the result of a tornado
which swept through the western snourb

rjuarters and crossing Red river,
struck two plantations where negro
cabins, barns and outhouses were destroyed.
In the city proper no dam
age was done.

REMEMBERED THE ORPHANS.
Thomas J. Harper Gave These Orphanages
a Lift.
The Columbia Record says that
the will of the late Mr. Thomas J.
Harper, farmer, former alderman and
citizen, who died Sunday, February
11, was probated Tuesday morning.
Charitable benefactions have a conspicuous
place in the provisions of
the will. To the First Baptist church
of which Rev. W. C. Lindsay is pastor
emeritus, the sum of $2,500 was
bequeathed to nay existing indebtedness.
The three leading orphanages
of the State are remembered in the
will?Connie Maxwell orphanage at
Creenwood, Thornwell orphanage at
Clinton and Epworth orphanage of
Columbia?aro to receive a share of
the proceeds from the sale of properties
by the executirs, as set forth in
the will.
BODY IN A MILL POND.
?
Mysterious Death of a Colored Man
at Spartanburg.
Suicide, foul play and accidental
drowning were theories advanced
when the body of Henry Lynder, colored,
was found Wednesday morning
floating on the pond of the cotton
mill at Chesnee, at Spartanburg. The
negro was last seen Sunday morning
and his hat was found Tuesday. A
search lasting twenty-four hours resulted
in the finding of the body. No
reason can be assigned for suicido,
and, if so it was, no ono knows of
any reason the dead negro had. The
case is mysterious as the water is
not deep enough for a man to accidentally
drown.
