ECHOES OF THECOHVEM
HARTWELL M. AVER ON THE ,
POLITICAL SITUATION.
^The Last Convention Was an Interest-
la
A mg Stu^y in Many Respects,
Which is Replete With
Satisiaction.
(CoW-y 51 ’ ontl, “ nce of Tho Letfyer.)
CouTr^A, May 21—The week
past may bl^.eotisid'. red us marking
the renaisaflilfi 0 of politics. The
state conventiaii i- generally consid
ered as marking tfic full bloom of the
rosebuds of political promise, and so
we may consider it finis year. Thu
interest in the war, whether it has
spent its force, or whether the censor
ship of the press dispatches has taken
the essence of life from the news, has
diminished so far ns to allow other
matters to occupy the attention of
the public, and nothing less than the
anticipated battle of the fleets, which
may even now as I write have been
fought, will force to the front again
the all absorbing interest in the war.
The lust convention was an inter
esting study in many respects which,
to the optimist, is replete with satis
faction. It was a humorous body as
such bodies go; it was the represen
tation of a united Democratic party,
not brought together from fear of a
foreign foe. but the outgrowth of the
innate love of justice in the breast, of
true citizens. We are weary with
dissensions; our bruised arms are
hung up for ornaments and we are to
have a love fi ast henceforth. There
were many men in that body who
have not sat in a Democratic conven
tion since 1888, and who have been
almost disfranchised since that time.
They had contended for what they
thought right, and the mighty hosts
had prevailed in the stern buUhs
that were fought. The victors, with
true American spirit, have been gen
erous and the vanquished have ac
knowledged themselves beaten, and
together they have bridged the
chasm that separated them through
the greatest political revolution since
fche days when John C. Calhoun con-
Iwfided for popular representation and
overturned the existing order of po
litical rights in South Carolina.
It was pleasant to see them there.
They were and are good men. and
able men, and men whose services
the state needs. The only reminder
that the smoke of battle had not en
tirely cleared away was in the deter
mination of many of the delegates to
force a vote on the plunk in the plat
form endorsing the dispensary as u
tenet of true Democracy. Many
prud mt members of the body con
sidered it unwise and unfair to the
prohibitionists, who had been told
that they might put out a ticket in
the Democratic primary, to declare
for a plunk that the prohibitionists
could not endorse if they were to be
considered us out and out Democrats.
It looked like breaking faith with
them. Many who opposed the pas
sage of the resolution are as good
friends a« the dispensary has and will
support it it. the campaign, but they
thought it unwise in that body to en
dorse a measure which now even by
the action of the Democratic execu
tive committee be considered as a
kpart of the confession of faith of a
true Democrat. The effect will be to
yetken allegiance to the party pint-
form, which would, if we were threat
ened by any serious danger from ex
ternal foes, be very unfortunate for
the integrity of the party.
Tne dispensary will stand; of that
there is in the mind of this corres-
poadent no doubt. The recent de
cision of the supreme court lias dis
armed its opponents of their chief
^apon of offense, the competition of
^original package stores. In fact,
pe all, both friend and foe, begin-
to look on the dispensary as a
jif our organic law, and we may
\ope for wise counsel that will
late objectionable features; and
many would be glad to see it
is a wiping out of all the land
cs of the times that tried men’s
iis, we may as well resign our-
Ives to the inevitable and take the
Is the gods provide, accept all
|acies of that time, good and bad
te, and make the bad good and
^d better wherever it is possible,
fowever as a long step towards
feet reconciliation we would have
glad to have seen a more thor-
ily liberal spirit exhibited by the
Mention 1 ’ the adoption of the fol-
ing, which was offered as a com-
projpiise measure by Senator S. (I.
Mayfield, of Bamberg:
‘‘Recognizing the right of Demo
crats to differ on questions of public
policy, and that the people at the
polls in the Democratic primary
should by their votes settle all issues
raised in the campaign, we refer the
questiou as to intoxicating liquors to
the people for their decision to be
manifested by the selection of can
didates in the Democratic primary.’'
However, the millenium has not
com^ yet and we cannot usk too
much. Wo are disposed, as all good
citizens should be, to be thankful
for what we have, and to declare the
convention just held to he the best
in many years and composed of
South Carolina’s best and brainest
P ( liticians and statesmen.
The candidates for state offices
were in evidence during the session.
There was the affable and dignified
Col. li. B. Watson, the latter day
“ifoonergcs” Senator Archer, of
Spartanburg, and Jno. C. Sheppard,
of Edgefield, who have been spoken
of for governor. Uncle George was
not present, and it was said that he
is not going to he a cam! fate. There
was some talk of making an effort to
run Ex-Gov. Sheppard for chairman
of the convention, which seemed to
have had foundation only in rumor,
which was, by the way, unfortunate,
as it is to be particularly desired
that all efforts to bring old line polit i
cians to the front is to be discouraged.
The hope of South Carolina is now
in new men and new measures, and
she will find her salvation in the
younger generation of politicians ju-t
entering the arena. As a matter of
fact the young school of politicians
in this state embraces many stars of
bright promise, and the men as a
class are well educated, intelligent,
thinking, working and honest men.
They are the flower of the state and
will challenge comparison in every
res nee t with politicians of the world.
Our friend, G. Walt Whitman, was
also there, and says he is still in the
race.
Little has been said recently of the
candidacy of Messrs Sheppard and
Schumpert, and it may happen yet
that we will not hear them in this
campaign. Governor Ellerbe’s friends
were present in f >rce. He seems to
control the machinery of the party
pretty well and his hands could be
delected in many things, but tin*
convention very properly voted down
a resolution commending and endors
ing his administration.
Of course Bryan and (he Chicago
platform were adopted with enthusi
asm, and it looks as if Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee will have no higher honors con
ferred upon him for his Cuban ser-
vi3j than the commission of major
general in the army.
Lieutenant Governor McSweeny,
who is a candidate for re-election,
was there, so was Hon. Geo. 8. Mower
and G. Duncan Bellinger, who are
out for attorney general, and Mr.
Epton, of 8p irtanburg, who will he
in the race for comptroller. Mr.
Stansell, of Barnwell, who seeks the
honcr of the railroad commission
and Colonel Floyd, of Kershaw’, who
is out for adjutant and inspector gen
eral, were also present. Major
Thompson, of Darlington, having
other business on hand now, having
been commissioned in the volunteer
army will hardly he in the race. It
was stated positively that thepns-
ent excellent superintendent of edu
cation would also be in the lae for
railroad commissioner, lie having
been urged to serve the state in tills
capacity on account of the value of
his services as a practical business
man, which is a qualification greatly
to be desired in the railroad commis
sion. Of course the present state
officers were there and those who
are seeking further political honors
were not behind hand in making
their desires known.

WRITTEN FROM WILLIE.
“Bill” Talks About Wheat, Prohibition
and Other Tnings.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Willie, May 21.—Mrs. Bill says
she don’t See why the United States
don’t just take Spain by the hand
and give her a real good whipping,
and put an end to the war. it looks
to me very much like it will he at
least a six months war instead of a
six weeks war.
While the wheat raisers of the west
are lauditing Mr. Leihter to the skies
the cotton raisers of the south would
send him the other way. I heard
one man remark the other day that he
ought to lie hung. We should not be
too hard on Mr. Leihter. It may he
possible that lie intends, after he gets
wheat up to a sat isfactory price, to
turn his attention to raising the
price of cotton.
The voters of this section are not
much for prohibit ion, but when it
comes to a test vote between the dis
pensary and prohibition you can put
our section down almost solidly for
prohibition.
It was with very deep regret we
read the announcement of the death
of our friend and old school mate, J.
G. bpern-er. "Doc” was a young man
of wikom we have always entertained
a very high opinion. May his ashes
rest in peace.
We have had but very little rain
here during this month, therefore we
are needing rain now very badly.
Wheat and fall oats are fine, but un
less wo get rain pretty soon spring
oats will be a complete failure. We
hear considerable complaint of a poor
stand of cotton, however, the weed is
looking well.
We have been having right smart
of sickness in our section lately. Mr.
Eber Johnson has been confined to
Ids room for several weeks with
fever, but is now able to be out again.
Master Whitbie Wholchell has been
rigiit sick but is now better. One of
D. Williams’ children is very low
with fever.
Mr. Perry Howell’s twenty months
old baby died last week of some spi
nal disease. It was hurried at Holly
Springs.
‘Bill” has been right "puny” for
the last month or so, but is now able
for his rations again.
Messrs Leonard, Thack and Eph
raim Atkins and A. J. Farnum made
a business trip this week through the
lower part of Greenville county and
upper part of Laurens county. They
report times as rather dull.
We hope the "Kernel” will give us
a satisfactory answer to "Plow
Boy’s” query, ns it is a subject in
which we are vitaly interested. If
there is any way for a man to make
his living honestly without working
we are anxious to know it.
We know ixi several young men and
some men with families in this sec
tion who do hut very little work of
any kind, and yet they dress as well
and seem to live as well in every re
spect as those who work six days in a
week. We are inclined to think that
they obtain their grub principally at
the expense of others. Bill.

MESSOPOTAMIA’S BIG DAY.
THE CHILDREN’S DAY EXER
CISES A SUCCESS.
J. L. S. Talks Back to the Abbiville
Medium and Defends The Led
ger Against the Attack
of “a Veteran.”
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Etta Jane, May 23.—Our people
are fulsome in their praises of the
Children’s Day exercises at Mesopo
tamia yesterday. A very large con.
gregation attended and gool or.Ier
prevailed. The exercises were well
managed and everybody was pleased
with what they saw and heard.
Only one of the selected ; takers—
Mr. W. S. Wilkerson—was present,
and he made a plain, sensible and
practical talk. Rev. Simpson Blan
ton and J. T. Fowler made talks, too.
Your correspondent did not go.
He stayed and took care of the home
in order to allow all the other mem
bers of the family a chance to go.
Cal. T. B. Butler and W. W.
Thomas, of Gaffney, were at Messo-
potamia yesterday, (^uitc a number
came over from York county to at
tend Children’s Day.
The Weather continues dry in this
section. Oats are suffering. Bad
stands of cotton on red lands is tiie
general complaint.
Deputy Constable W. T. Osrnent
is moving round getting things in
readiness for court next week.
Don’t forget that the memorial
meeting comes off at salem next Sat
urday, the 28th inst., and that Rev.
J. H. Thacker will preach to Camp
Jefferie 0 , U. C. V., on next Subbath
at Salem.
Lust Thursday I received copies of
the Texas Farmer and Claridge’s
Texas Stock Fanner, in which was
rolled up a cotton bloom, (or a holly
hock, I can’t tell which). Friends
sending such articles will accompany
it with name and note so that 1 can
make proper mention of it. It is
always a pleasure to acknowledge in
behalf of ThkLkrgkk sucli courtesies,
and our readers appreciate them as
well as we. Our friend has our
thanks.
It uoes seem that I am expected to
answer all kinds of questions, and I
take great pleasure in doing so when
they are reasonable and fair. Our
friend "Plow Buy” last week, asks:
"How can a young man make an
honest living by walking up and down
the public highway from Monday
morning until Saturday night?” If
the word "honest” wasn’t mentioned
1 would answer: "On the interest
of his money and the charity and
forbearance cf his friends.”
We take oil our bat to the Abbe
ville Medium for so decently and
effectually calling "J. L. S.” to taw
for his "false prophecy” in regard to
the o. p. business. "J. L, S.” can
only say that in revising his manu
script one word, "exclusive,” was
unintentionally omitted that has
caused this "mare’s nest,” which he
did not notice until after the printed
copy appeared. It should have read :
"The State’s ‘exclusive’ right to sell
liquor,” etc. No one knows better
than "The Medium” that the U. S.
courts will rigidly maintain inter
state commerce law. So far as the
State is concerned it can do anything
that will not interfere with the U. S.
laws. We sliil hold to the idea that
u..der the decision of that case other
states will sell from one-half to two-
thirds of all the liquors drank as bev
erage in this state, and nothing but a
full fledged and strictly enforced pro
hibitory law can prevent it. People
have made up their minds that they
can buy a better article for less
money and pay the freight too, than
it will cost at the dispensary. We
have always held and still hold that
the dispensary is the best solution of
the whiskey problem ever adopted in
this state or ever will be except it be
outright prohibition fully carried
out.
The wheat crop is generally good
in this section. A little rust is found
on the blade in some places.
I see no reason why every family
in our county don't take a good news
paper. It is an educator, and the
more people, (and especially the
children) read the more they want to
read, and the more the old people
become interested in them. There
are but few families in this neighbor
hood who fail to take The Lkd'ukr.
Its circulations doubles all the others
put together. It has done move to
create a reading mania than all the
other papers combined. Som times
papers will lie in the office for a week
or two at a time, but this is not the
case with The Leuueu. Dilligent
correspondents keep ou the lookout
for the news happennings of their
respective neighborhoods. What is
true of Cherokee county Is equally
true of ail the otbera.
We have many bright boys and
girls in Cherokee county (and out
side of it, too, for that matter), who
might Improve their leisure hours by
writing even short sketches of the
happenings of their respective neigh-
running of the
borlioods, that to them would not
only look well in print but would add
greatly to the pleasure of their neigh
bors. We hope so see the young men
and ladies lake hold of this matter
and make an effort to build up the
county.
We are told that one man at Hick-
oiy Grove took sick when the well
borers reached the depth of 147 feet.
Wo advise him to sue the company
for damages for trying to open a way

The sad, sad death of Mr. J. G.
Spencer is the more intensified by
its tragic circumstances, lie was
well and favorably known by our
puop'e, with many of whom he has
long been dealing. The sympathy of
this entire community goes out to ids
aged father and sorrowing brothers
and sisters in their bereavement.
Truly "in the midst of life we are in
death.”
“Death rides on every passing breeze;
li lurks in every llmver:
Each season has its own disease.
Its perils every hour.”
On last Thursday morning the sec
tion of country along the Howell’s
ferry road between Mount Tabor,
(colored) church and the "Granny”
McKown graveyard was visited with
a nice shower of rain.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Estes and Miss
Oregon went shopping to Gaffney last
Thursday.
An effort is being made to have the
ferry site at Howell’s ferry changed
to a place where the sand will not
interfere with the
boat in low water.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture is now sending out blanks and
envelopes to those who will furnish
information in regard to the loss of
building and live stock by lightning.
Every neighborhood ought to have a
correspondent, and we hope some of
our young men and ladies will attend
to this. The blanks are conveniently
arranged and the work is light,
pleasant and inexpensive and may
lead to future and greater usefulness.
The Salem school hasn’t yet agreed
upon its Children’s Day, but it will
be about tbe last of July or first of
August.
Mr. and Mrs. H. B. McDaniel and
children, of Hickory Grove, attended
Children’s Day at Messopotamia
yesterday.
Messrs. Wm. Jones and J. R. Jones,
of Asbury, were in this neighborhood
lust Saturday on business.
Miss Mollie Kirby was very sick
last week. She is well again.
Mrs. John H. Fowler .vas bad off
with sore throat last week.
The C. E. Society met at our home
last night. It meets at Mr. W. C.
Kirby’s next Sabbath evening.
In the News and Courier "A Vet
eran” takes issue with The Ledukk
for what it said of the Cherokee spon
sors and maids of honor who attended
the Charleston reunion last month.
He should understand that The Led
ger is the last paper in the world
to cast reflections on any of the beau
tiful young ladies who graced that
occasion with their presence. They
wore not only the pride of the camps
they represented but of their state us
well. If "A Veteran” lias had our
experience be would readily have un
derstood how and why The Ledger
said what it did. Eor instance: At
the Greenville reunion last year while
the festivities in the convention hull
were at their highest a group of us
consisting of Chomer Greer, Rube
McMaster, Stephen Cosly, Major
Rice, Ex-Governor Mauldin, Andy
Mitchell, Mit Tribbler, Jim Walsh,
Joe McDonald, Bill Hardin, Tom
Lilly, Tom Little, Jack Moore and
others whose names I can’t now re
call, who, together with the writer,
were looking on and discussing the
situation when two of the fair daugh
ters of Greenville—Misses Gray and
Gilfillin—each having a waiter filled
with the choicest cakes, lemonade,
etc., approached our group and in
vited us to help ourselves, which we
did. Had a primary been held then
and there those young ladies would
have been unanimously pronounced
the prettiest young ladies in that
vast assembly of southern youth and
beauty, when we all knew that at
that very moment some of as pure
and noble young ladies as the world
ever produced were on the floor from
Cherokee county, and yet not one of
them would have taken the least ex
ception to our decision. I expect if
the truth was known, "A Veteran”
had come in contact with a Charles
ton. "blind tiger” and was somewhat
oblivious to his surroundings at the
time of the Mills’ House meeting and
didn’t wake up in time to participate
in that happy affair which The Led
ger so innocently spoke of.
If he will come up into Cherokee
county and look around he will see
some of the best looking girls he ever
laid eyes on, and, like ourselvrB, will
conclude that they all take it after
their mothers. j. l. a.

Blood Poison Cured.
There is no doubt, according to the
many remarkable cures performed
by Botanic Blood Balm ("B. B. B.”)
that it is far the best Tonic and
Blood Purifier ever manufactured.
All others pale into insignificance,

getting well. I was persuaded to
try Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.,)
and to my utter astonishment it
quickly healed every ulcer. Z. T.
