In this issue of tho JoURNAL is published a portion of Congross man Latimor's speech on the Bland soignorage bill, and we regret that limited space would not allow a publication of tho whole speech. We have already givon our ideas concerning it, made up from re. ports in the' newspapor, but a po rtisal of the spoech itsolf incroases our admiration for the ability, pa triotism and nobleness of the man, who represents the third district in congress. He is true to the great interests, intrusted to his keeping, and is invincible in spirit, %nid the fire of administration wrath. MASS MEETING. A mass mooting of tho Roform )rs of Pickens County was hold in rIhe Court House, on tho 6th in stant. W. T. Bowen was el vhairman, and John T. Boggs, So aretary. On motion, 11. J. John ston, W. T. O'Doll, and E. S. Grif fin, were appointed by the (hair, a committee on resolutions, and made the following report: R Eso triICON S. Whereas, thoro seeis to lio somule dissatisfaction and wrangling among the Reformers of this State. and some loadors are disposed to complicate the offorts for unity of action and to obstruct and delay the exprossion of the will of the people, Therefore, bo it Rosolved by the Reformers of Pickons County, in mass meoting assembled, that I h_ original cardinal principles of the Reform movenient are paramn t to any experimontal meisure or t le success of any champion.

Woe are having some bad weoather this mon th-snow fell hore on the night ot thme 24th and 25th to the depth of eight inches on an aver age, and the thermometer only re gistered 10 degrees, and I call that cold. Our people are out killing rabbits, all that are not down with the grip--several families are pros trated with that awful disease. The [farmors are getting ready for the next crop of six cents cot ton, and some are speaking of planting corn, but I guess the snow will step them, since our p)oople have not purchased any guano yet, but I thmnk from what I can learn they will use about the same as last year. Wheat is small but looks wvell. Oats looked fine bo fore the snow. With best wishes for the success of the JOURnAL. BO0NEs. Froms Mile Creek. Feb. 24, 189d. There will be a meeting of the school trustoes of Mile Crook District, No. 41, at Mile Crook Church, on Saturday, 10th of March 1894, at 10 o'clock, a. mn. All the patrons of this District are requested to be present, a's there is businoss of importance to at tended to. J..L. THoMAs, C. Bi. T. February 87, 1894. We are again startled with the death of another worthy lady, Mrs. Winefred Winchester, who died of 'heart failure, very suddenly, at J. M. Wmnohester's, in the 86th year of her age. She was a kind mother and a good neighbor, and a mem ber of the Baptist Church. ir. a. w., The' Hon. John B. Richarson, of Samter, ex-member of congress fromi that district and one of the leeders of the democratic party of this State in 1876, died 27th uit, He waIs the father-in-law of rail. road Commissioner D'Arcey IP bundan.

Columbia Registr: "Governor, you havo Se0n tlh call of the Colleton RefornerE for a mass meeting in that County on Monday, Alarch 5th, for the election of a delegatE; to a Stato convention, and an in vitation to the other counties to do likewise. What do you think of it ?" The governor answered, afteu some consideration of the ques tion: "I feel some reluctance ir obtruding my views on th public on a matter which I fully discussed in an interview short ly after my return from Wash ington. There is evident mon1111011. the people a feeling of restless ness and anl uncertainty arising from all this talk aInd a(jvo-cc of an early convention, If th< 'antis' were making any activ( move I could un1derstand it, al see how it woul( be desirible m n'.cessary to concentrate the re form vote support of olne leader, but the advocnte of a con vent ion to noiniiiate a reform IIcandidate for governor appear to forget that such a nomination. without previous discussion to allow the people to judge of the fitness of the various aspirant s, is totally inconsistent with all our previ ous profession anid practice", and must necessarily br(nl heart-burning an11g tlrrhni (aes who may. be (t and caus disgust among their friends.

"You tako it then, that th candidate for governor will (arl vass, evel thougl he has n opposit ion. '"Whiy, of course.

"What, then, (10 you consiidt the best course to be pursued hi the reformer?'' was the straigh question which was asked nex "The Colleton people have hi on a scheme to allay tihe unr'es wich is, perhlaps, as good t any, with two. additions < changes. They were in too bi a hur11ry, and instead of callin a convention of one from eac County, the mass meeting of re formuers in the different counltit shiouldl simnply meet and elc< one of their best men, with n axe to grind) to form a Stal camnpaign committee. 1h takt at least three woeks for an movement among the peoph3 t get uinder wvay, so as to carr the whole mass.

TJhor is no need of hurry, anlywa3 and any movement which doc not come from the people them selves will create great dissatii faction and must defeat. "Ihow, then, shall the thin be brought about?" "Well, in my judgment tli only way in which it can 1: brought about is for flfteen c tenty leading men in eac County to Unite in a call simila to that of the Colleton leader for a mass meeting of reformer at their respective court hous salesday in .Aprtelo member of a State roform cam paign comnmitteo.
