I declare, I oiemn feel utterly distracted when I think of it," exclaimtied Mrs. Morgan, a delicato vidow whose husband had been killhl in it railrtoad accident, leaving he' with SPVeen b3's and not so much as the smallest life insuranc policy. Mrs. Morgan was talking to Miss Suistinia as they sat oi the veranda of her sinall sem(-dotached cottage in, Winnville, Ala. Miss Susannai had alnother' mnaie, and it was lliggs. But as "N iss Susanna" she was universally known, respected and beloved for a spinster of storing quality,-silver as to speech, golden as to charity, and .seel for stautinchiess, loyalty and every triue womanly quality. She had como at once to Mt's. Mdomrgan on bear' imng of her groat sorrow. "What shall I do ? Seven boys !" repeated Mtrs. Morgan; "1and husband gone, and cook going, and itmother bed-ridden, and only thirten dollars in the holso Soven boys ! If I had only omne dauigh 101 to hlp lme. But whlttt can a iwoman do with seven boys. tite eldest only seventeen ?" "Make them girls." suggested Miss Susanna briskly, and as clemly as she could with a cr'ochet hook between iteb Uips. " Why don't you ?" she went ott, her oyes fixed oil hrot' work. " You've 1o.: to have hell)." " Make girls out of my boys ?" ciied Al r's. Morgan, astonished. " What do yOU Mean ?" Easily enough.

At flrst, too, Ton was dibposedt to draw the litno . at bread-inaling; but wht did that artful Mips Susanna do but to offer a watch es a prize for the best loaf of broad from that household, which set all the boys fermenting like their own yt-ast, and sent theln all head over heels Into the flour barrel, and inaugurated a series of "larks" that almost took the roof off the house, but resulted in two loaves of broad that a French bako- need not have dis owned. Whereupon Miss Susanna caine down handsomely with two silver watches that were much appreciated, and henceforth bad bread was a thing unknown in that household. By devices like these the ball was sot rolling, and once set rolling rolled on with momen tum of its own. In a few years the Morgan "girls" were the pets, the pride, the standing joke of Winnvlllo. rhey could take a sowing mnachine to pieces and put it together again like a professional. Thuy ran it altogether under Mrs. Morgan's supervison, and sewed, and pressed their own suits, and worked their own button-holes, like so many little tailors, having, indeed taken lessons from Mrs. Shearer, the tailor of the plaue. The most notable housewifo could have found. nothing to quarrel with in tlie perfect clehnliness, order and pro priety of tho Morgan menage, and the twins, in sweeping, dusting and bed making, might have put to the blush most Milosian Maidens of much ex perience. The lads grow naily more clever, more manly, nore gentlo and gentle manly under Miss Susantna's system-a synonym for good behavior and suc cess, the model boys of the community without any of the provoking priggish ness of the model. Winnvillo began by laughing at then, of courso. It went on to wonder at them, and talk about them to any extent. It ended by admiring and respecting them. M s. Morgan came to be regarded as the wisest of women and mothers. So many people complimented her upon the good dispositions, reputa tions, and characters of her "girls," and their various remarkable ach icvo muents. that she in time quito lost sight if liss Susanna's share in it all. She formulated the system, she lectured upon it, and mildly met every d.ssontlent objection with a " Look at my seven !" that was tin answerablo. She went further than Miss Susanna even, " Bring up your boys as girls," she would say, impres sively, "ani bring up your glr Is as boys ; neither Of them will be half educated Us they are now." One of her "girls " is a bank Preii dont now. Another is at, tPho head of a largo foundry in Birmingham. An other is a successful mining engineer. And the twins are at Annapolis and West Point. But none of the seven is the worso for being bred as they have been, and Winnville will boast for a long time to come of "our girls." TEIl' WHATIllRt AND CILOPS.

The Object. is to ilgit the Itegular iDenocracy-A Squaro Issue Matde vor the Future. The Conservatives of Richland County held a meeting on Saturday to decide upon their course in reference to entering the Democratic primary and a granting a division with the Re formers. Thirty-five or forty persons were present., a number of whom were delegates to the Democratic county convention which met just afterwards, und majority of whom approved the plan of dividing with the Reformers. No action was taken in the meeting of the Conservatives, but it was an nounced that a new Democratic party would be organized in opposition to the regular party. The proceedings are looked upon as the beginning of the now movement, and the following report is copied from The State: Col. F. W. McMaster was elected to the chair, but declined. Mr. J. M. flawlay was then elected as chairman. Mr. 1'I. J. Watson was requested to act as secretary. Mr. W. H. Lyles was the first speaker. ie had but very little to say. HM said his mind had long been made up that the bo-called Doemocracy was a delusion and a snare. The dragging over the State of men by armed men and mending men to the penitentiary without a trial was most undemocratic. The primary scheme of the State comn mittee was tyrannical. He believed that the time had come for the men who fult as ha~ did to get to work and organIze and see what the people's sentnclnt was. HeI was in favor or re organizing the l)emocratic party of thme State. (A pplau~se.) The chairman said he wished all to understand the object of the meeting. T1he idlea wvas to organize a State D~em ocratic Consaer'vativoe coinmmittee, and the action of this body would govern the action of the Conservative dele gates in the subsequent convention. Mr. Lyles called attention to the dual attitude of many of the members present, they having been elected dlelegates to the other convention also. lie thought they should not go ahead on this line, but they should find out who were willinug to reorganize the party. C~ol. I". W. McMaister then took the lloor, and said lhe agreed with the general remarks of M r. Lyles, but was forced to attend the county conven tion. H~e would, however, add his opinion to what Mr. Lyles had saidl. lie said: " The dominant part of the D~emo cratic party in South Carolina con tains nIl classes of white ,mnen, known as Tillmanites and Reformers. T1his faction embraces all creeds and polItics, from Popumismi upl to true Democracy, anud has assumed the name of the Democratic p)arty. "' ThIs faction for the last live years has retarded the naturai progress and prosperity of the peCople of t-he State by unwise laws ; have mercilessly at tacked corporations and turned away and driven capital fromi the State ; re p~ressed anld wripled our' p hoophate in dustries ; has by force and perjury in terfered with the elective franchine of the citizen ; have fradulently mnanip~u lated the ballot boxes, so as to give the majority of votes in favor of a constItutional cnion, contrary to votes of the majority of voters; has wilfully and corruptly defrauded Dr. L'opoe, one of their own party, of sonie thousand votes, because he had the manhood to oppose the (dictation of the lAting. Trhey have slandered, abused and degraded some of our best judges and placed in their stead avowed poli tical partlsans. The executive depart ment has been adlminlstered with re morseless tyranny and laws and edicts of judges dlisregarded. The will of the people in Richland and Charleston counties bave been set aside and friends )f the Ring put in their places. They have, by at harsh and cruel law, made the State the big grog shop of the sountry and appointed a multitude f constables to badger and harrass sitizens until the blood of innocent men has be en shed-all because a weak -k need Legislature had not sense wr nervo enough to enact a good license law. Theo government has usurped the function of trade which belongs to Lino pecopie and destroyed the right of it class of traders to make or sell lhinor-s and wines. They have supple rcmt~d an infamous law so as to em ior judge to send a man to the p,.nitentilam y without a trial by jury, aotrtary to Magna Charter. They have recently interferred with the freedoim of spoeech by forbidding an honored citizen from speaking words >f kmndness in behalf of the colored race .,uchi as [ifHmpton and others did In 187(6, nomd whbich is approved by our bos51 uILiz mis at this time. -Nalhwthstanding the fact, a large iumbesr of timis so-called Democratic pari-y undmier the leadership of a sherilf m.m-tituti ed themselves into a howling b~mIdeus~ miob, and contrary to every dII ~itaO or Clhristian charity, co'nmon senie ami common deconcy, assaulted a deesls gentleman in a flagrant, elhaeeno nd mIlaelinhl manne Ruch a climax of infamy is the direct teach. 1ng of Populism, practiced by a num bor of the so-called Democratic party. "Such men will cripple our common school system and deprive the negro of his rights under tne Constitut'on of the United State. Yet tils party has ordered a primary to be held, and require Ddnocrats to vote for their delegates to, frame a constitution for the State. My reply, Smash the Ring secure honest elections, preserve the liberty of the citizen. i have no ti-e for further remat ks. That is my view gentlemen of the so-called Democratic organizatien. (Applause.) Mr. N. G. Gonzales thOn expressed his viewg along the line purbued by Mr. Lyles. There were. many who were id favor of talking about throw ing off the Irby yoke, but, they would do nothing. Last fail tliero was a con vention whioh decided to ropudlate the Irby committee, but those there had backed out when it came to the test. In a short time a new Demoeratic party would be formed in this State on these principles: Support of the established piuci plest of the National Democratic party. White supremacy by honest means. No subordination to the Irby organ ization, no entrance into its primaries or conventions, but, on the contrary, a denial of its right to to represent De mocracy in this tate and constant and indomitable resistance to its rule. This party will boar the name " DLemocratic." with such prefix as may be desirable in case a more distinctive name should be deemed necessary. It will provide that only those who will pledge themselves to its principleo can become members. He didn't see how they could do any thing today on account of the dual position of many delegates. But he would give the assurance that such a party as le had outlined would be formed. Mr. 1. J. Brennen had always been on the same line with the preceding speakers. They went into the county convention, and were sent to the lFerty convention. Having gone into that convention we are bound and cannot. do anything now. Mr. 3rennen moved that they adjourn sine die. Mr. Gonzales said that those who went into the Forty convention did not go into it on any understanding that they should participate in the Feorty primary. It was an ei.deavor to get together flrst. He was invited there not as a delegate, but as a news paper editor. Mr. Sligh's resolution did not bind them to go into the pri mary. We are in no manner bound to go Into the primary. Mr. Lyles said that if tbings turned out as they expected, a call would be addressed to individuals, asking them to express their sentiments as to the new organization, and state in writing their willingness to pledge themselves to the principles of the new party. The convention then adjourned sine die, Mr. Gonzoles remaking as the result was announced. " A formal dis solution of the Conservatives of Rich land County." THEC STAT11C' lilBIAG SOCi014TY.
