ROSTER OF
DELEGATES
TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON.
VENTION.
The Results of the Primaries In the
Several Counties as Tabulated by
the Executive Committee.
The Charleston News and Courier,
of Friday, says: The lightness of the
vote and the apparent indifference to
the result of the election have con
spired to delay the returns from the
primary for delegates to the Constitu
tional Convention. In a great many
counties the complete returns have
been tabulated and are available, and
in some the returns go far enough to
indicate what the result will be.
It will be of great interest to know
who willcMake up this all important
convention, and a roster as far as can.
be anticiprted is made up of the avail
able reports. In most instances the
nominees of the primary are given as
the most likely to sit in t'ie convention.
In Sumter and Georgetown the Con
vention nominees, who are, no doubt,
certain of election, are put down as
prospective delegates to the Conyen
tion. Of course there is no antici
pating opposition ticliets in the general
election.
The roster, as made up at this time
from the most available sources, is as

INTERESTING
CONTEST.
MHE PEOPLE VOTE FOR FREE
SILVER 32,052 TO 1,783.
The United States Should Furnish
Their Own Money, Says The
New York Mercury.
It was regarded all over the United States
as a very daring, even foolhardy. undertak
ing, when The 31ereury announced that it
proposed to test the sense of the people of
New York City and Brooklyn upon the ques
tion:
Sha:l the United States Government open
its mints to the free coinage of silver without
waiting for agreement with Great Britain or
any other European nation, and at a ratio of
16 to 1?
Such stalwart advocates of the rehabilita
Lion of s" is the Atlanta Constitution in
the Souti and the Cincinnatti Eniqujirer in
the West thought tiat the result of such a
bllot imnist be disastrius tc the cause of free
ilver.
But the editors of these jou rnas, and ot
other newspapers throuighiout the coeAtry,
id not know the peoile of New York and
ailed to appreciate their understanding of
be evils th:t have been brought upom theni
brough the demonctatiz i of silver.
No one ean read the t Iters which have
ieen published daily in The Mercur-v. under
he Leading. "What the Meters Say." with
)ut lwecoming deeply inpre sed with the
ray in which the workingren hove grasped
be situation, and the inteiligeice which they
ave shown in advocat ing free silver coinage
is tile first t hing to be aciomplishied for their
elief.
The Mercury has not solicited a single vote
iron this question.
The votes. which have been sni in ny tens
Lud fifties, and in some cases vby hundreds,
ave been gathered together by men who
vere interested in the auise, sutscribers t,
'he Mercury, who sa ved each day's paper so
s to secure the vote of a friend upon the
allot printed therein.
The I.est testimony to this statement is the
>lowing, from Mr. F. L. Hathaway, of
1lintonu, N. Y.:
The ballots for free coinage in your con
'st are astonishingly numerous, conslderiug
[e fact that you have not resorted to the
sual methods to get votes. If some one in
,-h of the courtry towns of New York had
tken even the little trouble I have gone to
i asking people to vote, your total in this
tate alone would easily have been greater
Ian it will now be for all the SLates in the
rnion. Sixty-five qualifled voters in this
)wn have personally written their ballots
)r free coinage, and the same have been for
arded to you. Every man is a voter a -an
.T tiinFrmay won say we1 no, in
)n! and add that ex-Collector Magone did
tspeak rightly for Clinton, at least, when
e told The 31ercury that the Democrats in
orthern N..w York take no intereSt in tt
liver miestion.
Bat biv far th1: larger proportion of the
otes have come in one at a time in an envel
pe. with ai t wo-ent stamp on the envelope,
metimes accomilanied by a letter. but gi'"i
rally not.
So far as space would permit we have p
shed these letters from day to day. follow
ag the announeement of the vote, but when
o many were received sonic had to be left
ut.
The Mercury believed that it voiced the
lemands of the people in advocating the frete
oiiage of silver. but it did not know it
ntil tlis ballot was taken.
The result is astonishing when it is rc
nembered that no effort was made to induce
ieople to vote. It is more astonishing that
o few people voted in the negative.
II-re is the result of five weeks' voting on
he silver question:

T. L. Ward. Philadelphia agent for a numa

who are expected to become members of th
proposed newspaper trust with a capital o
$30,000.000, stated that the trust would no
be perfected until the close of the year. Th
delay in organizing the corporation. Mr
Ward said, is due to the fact that most of th
manufacturers have contracts that will no

States from the Atlantic to the Mississippi

LIBERTY BELL'S ITINERARY.
The Historic Old Relic Will be Ex
hibited in an Open Foyer.
The action of the Philadelphia City Coun
eil on the Atlanta Exposition was to arrange
and complete the details for the trip of the
Liberty Bell, which is to be transferred to
the South during the festival.
Chairman Miles, of the Committee on Cor
respondence and arrangements, stated that
he had received a letter from Thomas Keen
an. secretary of the State Commission, at
Harrisburg, in which the latter stated that
the Pennsylvania building would be com
pleted and ready for the reception of the
bell by the opening day, Sept. 18th.
The historic old relic is to be exhibited In
an open foyer, under a canopy, and by being
arranged on castors, can be run on to the
open grounds, in case of necessity, in ten
minutes.
No action. was taken for the present look
ing to a civic and military display in con
neetion with the departure of the bell, as the'
,ost of the military display would probably
have to he taken out of the committee's ap
!ropriation.
The itinerary of the bell's Southern jour

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Frst Examination of Government
Printers Under Civil Service Rules.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
The first examination of applicants for ap
pointment as compositors in the Government
Printing Office, since the employes of that
stablishment were placed under civil service
rules, is now being held. There are more
than two hundred applicants, and it will
take the rest of the week to complete the ex
amination of them all. Those who get the
required percentage will be placed on the
eligible list and appointed when there are
vacancies or when more help is needed at the
G. P. 0. Judging from their talk the
"comps" who have taken the examination
re not overburdened with admiration for
the wisdom displayed by the questions asked.
One of them, who had wide experience both
In newspaper and job offices, and who is cre
dited by all who know him with being a first
class all-around printer, being equally at
home when setting type, making up or read
ng proof, was asked what he thought of the
quetions asked at the examination. He re
plied: "Some of them were good. ealculat-.
d to show whether a man had the kznowl
edge cvery llrst-class printer should1 have
but others were, in my opinion. ;absolute rot,
dealing with imatters having no ecaneetion
with any of the practieal branches of the
craft with which I am aequainted."
A business man who has just returned
from a trip through Florida says: 'There

J. 0. Carson Fouwi Weltering In Ills
Blood. Ilis Wife Says it Was
I Suicide.
At Spartanburg on Thursday morn
ing J. 0. Carson was found in bed
with his head almost severed from his
body. His head also was horribly
mashed in several places. It was an
awful sight, and strong men grew
faint and turned away from perh-ips
the most sickening and bloody sight
they had ever seen.
Carson was a well-to-do farmer at
New Prospect and was very popular.
At the inquest his wife testified that it
was suicide, but the evidence and cir
cumstances connected with his death
prove conclusively that it was murder
most foul, and that his slayer had pre
meditated the deed. Bloody tracks
were to be seen on the floor while
blood was entirely absent from the
dead man's feet. Several pieces of a
blade from a razor were found im
bedded in his throat. Mrs. Carson
says that her husband had often times
accused her of being unfaithful and
that scandalous stories had been told
on her.
It looks to be a very crooked and
ugly affair. It is believed that Mrs.
Carson knows mroe about her hus
band's death than she has told and it
is also thought she can place 'her hand
on the murderer. Some very sensa
tional developments may yet be
brought to light. The coroner's jury
returned a verdict that he came to his
death by some one unknown to them.
The matter will be investigated and
arrests will surely follow.
T HE CO313IERCIAL REPORTS.
Midsummer Lassitude Prevails. Bus
iuess in Cotton Goods Large.
Bradstreets' report for the past week,says
Ihe week presents a larger volume of trade
In many lines and at many points than In the
weeks before and one year ago. The rush
of orders for steel and iron leads in interest,
displaying remarkafle strength. Western
manufacturers have been obliged to par
chase Eastern billets to meet their orders.
Less confidence is placed in last week's ru
mors of serious damage to the spring wbeat
crop in Minnessota and the Dakotas, and an
other conspicuous feature of the week is the
evidence of reviving co afildence on the part
of the Western and Northwestern interior
merchants, now that the corn and spring
wheat crops promise well.
At the South general trade remains of as
ta and delay in paying the sugar bounty af
fects trade very unfavorably in Louisana.
Strikes of some importance appear, but do
not yet threaten to last long, tbou.gh a strike
kf coal miners may for a time affect buoiness
somewhat extensively. The hopeful spirit
I revailing in nearly all markets may find its
varrant in spite of some shortage in crops.
All the indications show mid-summer lassi
tude. Yor the first time since the rise in
rices of iron prod'e;ts began there have
n some concessions to retain business and
efforts of new works to get orders tend to
check the advance. In spite of this, the
neral average of price, is a shade higher,
ar having risen relatively more than mill
ron has declined.
Business in cotton goods has been the
largest in yuly for several yerrs, reckoning
deliveries but not so large as to be new
orders. I further advance of one-quarter
cent per yard has been made with moderate
demand for some bleached and brown goods,
and prices are firm for sheets and drills,
while colored cottons are quiet with occas
ioal advances. The demand for men's
woolens has been less active with some dis
appointment observable, while worsteds
have sold relatively better.
There are 221 failures in business reported
to Bradstreet this week as compared with
239 throughout the United States last week,
220 in the week one year airo and 459 in the
corresponding week of 1893. In, the like
week of 1892 the total was only 155.
A VICTDRY FOR LABOI
The Wages of 100,000 MIners toW ben
creased Afte; October 1.
The biggest victory ever made by organiz
ed labor was won Saturday in Pittsturg, Pa.
by the miners. Almost every demand was
granted and the operators gave a written
guarantee for their fulfillment of the con
tract, The papers were signed to-night
which increase the wages of 100,000 miners
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
The terms are that the present rate ol
wages shall continue in force until October
1 when every operator in the Pittsburg dis
tr-ict will pay the sixty-nine cent rate with a
differential of five cents in favor of opera
tors who do not have company stores. The
areement further provides for another ad
vnce on January 1. It is understood that
the rate will thsn be made 79 cents..
The 3ingo fron and Steel Company, 31m
go Junction. 0., also signed the Amalgamat
ed scale for the 1.200 amen in the steel plant.
The scale for the iron mill which employs
$00 men was signed some time ago.

A Fishing Se'aoanetr's Oddl Experience.
A Maine fishing schooner had the
odd and unpleasant experience last
Sweek of continually filling its nets
with a kind of fish that the fishermen
Sdidn't want. They were after mack.
*erel arnd ran into a school of whiting,
a useless fish about two feet long.
-The schooner had twenty-eight dras

work to clear the nets after each haul

"GITE ME A PENNY."
"Give me a penny, grandpa, please;
I'm going to buy-for you
A stick of candy, and, I s'pose,
Ill eat some of it, too:
For things taste better-don't you know
When people share 'em; I think so."

THE CONQUESTS OF SILENCE,
Washington never made a .speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, and gave it up con
fused and abashed. In framing the
constitution of the United States, the
labor was almost wholly performed in
committee of the who!e, of which
George Washington was, day after
day, chairmpn. and he made but two
speeches during the conve ution, of a
very few words each, something like
one of Grant's speeches. The cnnven
tion, however, acknowledged the mas
ter spirit, and historians affirm that
had it not been for his personal popu
larity, and the thirty words of his first
speech, pronouncing it the best that
could be united upon,the constitution
would have been rejected by the peo
ple.
Thomas Jefferson never made a
speech. He couldn't do it.
Napoleon,whose executive ability is
almost without a parallel, said that his
difficulty was in finding inen of 'deeds'
rather than words. When asked how
he maintained his influence upon his
superiors in age and experience when
commander in chief of an army in Italy,
he said: "By reserve." The great
ness of a man is not measured by the
length of his speeches and their num

A FAMOUS w1i.
The entire history of China, like
hat of Egypt, is divided into dynas
ties. The great Chinese wall was be
gun by Che-whang-te, first emperor
of the Tsin dynasty. It forms the
empire was required to give Ais MeTp
to build it, and it took five years to
omplete it.
The wall is not solid, but consistsof
two thick walls filled with earth;
every foot of the 1oundttoD. how
ever is of solid granite. It is lined
with battlements and towers, and is
so wide that six horsemsn may easily
rids abreast on its top. The towers
ar,e about 100 yards _part .and there
a steps here and there for persons
to ascend..
Recently in a survey for a Chiuem
railway, this stupendous barrier was
measarea. The measurement gave the
height as eighteen feet and the lengtii
as thirteen hundred miles. It goes
over the mountains and plains, crosses
rivers and traverses great marshes. E
is e'stimiated to contain enough ma
terial to girdle the earth with two

"Bo doubt cats, large and small,
make the most carefa3l of animal toi
jets, with the exception of some e
the opossums," writes a contributor
to the spectator. "Lions and tigers
wash themselves in exactly the same
manner as the domestic cat, wetting
the dark, india-rnbber-like ball of the
forefoot and the inner toe, and passe
ig it over the face and behind ths
ears.
"One of the most charming pets
we have kept, and one most particue
lar as to its feet and fur, was a lovely
brown opossum from Tasmania. 1t
washed its face every two or three
minutes, and would pay the same a'Y.
tention to the ears, 'hair or hands of
any one on whose shoulder it was ale
lowed to sit.
"Once, having upset a bottle of
turpentine over its hands, it almost
fretted to death because it could not
remove the scent. Oddly enough, it
would retire during the day to a chime
ney, and did not- object to the soot in
its fur, perhaps considering it 'cleaa
dirt,' as children do earth.
"One small spaniel, which we ale
lowed to live in the house, was well.

would not be admitted indoors. Abont
an hour before the close of the day's
shooting he used to strike work and
begin to clean himself ; and it urged

"One day the dog had been left at

with half-frozen drops of ice sticking.
to his gaiters.
" Pan ran up and carefully licked
off the frozen ice and snow, etopped
now and then to give an anxious look,
which said as plainly as possible,
