AK E f TRI-WEICKLY EDITION. WJNNSBORO. S. C,, N O~ \IMBER, 94,1895. CONY EiON PROCEEDINGS COSVEiNT!UZ3 kt-ASSEMBLES. It Doesn't Do _N ci, But It Took a i:ng T.-me to Adjourn. The ion etiftitU:tl conention re-as .embled at S 'clock T':-da evening rafter its three-d ays rec* s and once more resumed the cot sideration of the suffrage article. taking up the unim portant.sections. Tihee was not more than a bare quorum of the members present, yet a late session resulted, an adjournment only bing reac-hed after it was iound that tiier' was "no quorum" in the hall. The only matter of any consequence a cted upon was the striking out of the .provision for representation for both ;political parties on the boards of elec tion managers and canvassers of re turns. An attempt was made to allow property-owning women to vote in -municipal elections on questions of in creasing the public debt, but it failed. A proposition was introduced to defer the assembling of the legislature from the last Tuesday in this month to the second Tuesday in January. The suffrage article was taken up, and sections 5, Fi, 7 and i were adopt ed. t follows: Section 5. Any perrson denied reg istration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any nudge thereof, and thence to the supreme court to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be de novo, and the gen eral assembly shall provide by law for such appeal and for the corection of illegal and fraud ulent registration, voting and all other crimes against the election laws. Section 6. The following persons are disqualified from being registered or voting. First, persons convicted of burglary, arson, obtaining goods or money un der false pretenses, perjury, forgery, robbery, bribery, adultery, bigamy, wife beating, housebreaking, receiving stolen goods, breech of trust with fraudulent intent, assault with intent to ravish, miscegenation and larceny or crimes against the election laws: Provided, that the pardon of the gov .ernor shall remove such disqualif-ca tion. Second, persons who are idiots, in saue, paupers supported at the public expense. and persons confined in any public prison. Section 7. For the purpose of vot ing no person shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason of his presence or absence while employ ed in the service of the United States nor while engaged in t'he navigation of the waters of this State, or of the United States, or of the high seas, nor while a student of any institution of learning, *See. 8. The general assonbly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall pre scribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the resit of the same; provided, at the first registra tion under this Constitution and until the 1st of January, 1898, the registra tion shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, for the first registration to be provided for uudet this Constitution The registration books shall be kept open for at least six consecutive weeks and thereafter from time to time, at least one week in each month up to :30 days next preceding the first election to he hold under this Constitution. Section 9 was then taken up and the Ksection was given several small amend ments, Gov. Sheppard having the word "election" in lines 1 and 4 changed to "polling." Thie amended section and the substi tute were then read, the former being in this shape: Section 9. The several counties in the State shall be divided into polling districts, with one precinct in each. of the same: at which alone the voter registered for that precinct can cast his hallot. Provided that a voter may, upon a change of residence be trans ferred from one polling district to another. Quite a debate occurred on this election, and finally Mr. Wilson move:1 to adjourn the debat.e ou the section and the substitut e ntil later. This was agreed to. Section 10 was then adopted as fol lows: Section 10. The general assembly shall pro" ide by law for the regulation .& t party primary elections and punish i t raud( at the same. When section 11 was called Governor S Ieppard offered the following amend Add to the section the following: ['hereafter the registration books shall bpublic records, open to the inspec tion of the public." Mr. Fitch offered the following: Add to section 11 after the word "in teriu." on line 3, "or to correct any mistake. error, omission or f'raud of the hoard of r'egistrat!in. and add after word "'election" on line 2 the following: "And they shall be 'open for public in spection one week thereafter, prior to th'- election, and be placed in the clerk of court's offce for such inspection." There was quite a discussion over the maitter of these amendments, and the section wa then passed over, the a:edet being ordered printed in '-ectioni 12 was adopted as follows: :Section 1: Eletors in municipal e'lectionis 'sh'll possess all the qualifica tio)"s "and be unbect to all of the dis .,uiiiadons herein prescribed. The production of a certificate of registra tion from the registration officers of the county as an elector at a precinct included in the incorporated city or town in which the voter offers to vote. is declared a condition prerequisite to his voting, and in addition he must have been a residr -t within the incor porated limits at least four months be fore the election, and have paid all taxes previously due and collectable. ANOT3E WOMAN*S St'FFRAGE FIGHT. Section 13 was called up, reading as follows: Section 13. At any special election in incorporated cities and towns of this State for the purpose of bonding the same, all resident owners of pro perty of the assessed value of $300, in said cities and towns, who are other wise qualified electors under this Con stitution, shall alone be entitled to vote. At such election the voter shall produce a receipt for all taxes, county, State and municipal, due and collecta ble, for the previous year as evidence of his right to vote. Mr. Meares rose and offered to amend by inserting after "electors" on the fourth line, the words "except. as to sex," which was to allow women to vote. He spoke at length to his proposition. This was a different thing from the proposition already fully discussed and voted down. This was a kind of an election that might not occur in many years, and it was but right that the women should be allowed to have a say about their pro perty. The convention should meas ure the matter. N'r. D. S. Henderson said he was the one member of his committee who was against it- It was simply the question whether they were going to make an entering wedge and allow wo men to vote at all or not. He was 4p posed to it. A. lively debate followed but the convention adjourned for the night on learning that no quorum was present. A VITAL MATTER AT ISSUE. Shall the State Have the Right of Change of Venue? On Wednesday, the 40th day, the convention completed the discusSion of the suffrage article and the whole thing has now been sent to the third reading. A vigorous effort was made to prevent the possibility of fraud in the handling of the registration books, but a provision looking to this was killed. After an extended debate the ordinance providing for an issue of State bonds to enable the several counties of the State to do business on a cash basis was killed. The convention at night took up the section of the article on jurisprudence, allowing the State to secure cbang of venue from one county to another in criminal cases-giving the State the same right as is allowed the defendants. The real meaning of the proposition is that the State wishes to try men charged with violations of the dispen sary law in counties other than their own. This was developed in the de bate. All the lawyers have been turned loose on the vital question and until a late hour a lively debate was in progress. "Uncle George" Tillman severely. kandled the dispensary law. FORlTYHIVES SACRIlFICED. A STEAM BOILER EXPLODES - WITH! TERRIFIC FORCE Swallowing Up MIany Working People, and the Flames Broke Out to Ald to the Horror. At Detro.it, 31ich..- on Wednesday nv>rning one of the steami boilers uf the Journal offie exploded with terrific force and terriblo re sults. The boiler was located in the south easternL 'orner of the building. No. 19 West Larnedl street. The first tlior was ocenpied by the.

'c'u pied by .John E. Dav-is & Co.. grocers' siup plies, was also comnpletely wrecked. Ontly line or six persons were at work there. how eecr, when the disaster occurred, and the loss of life in that building will be small. In an instant the buildings were a muss of ruins. undecr whieh was buried many huuman bings.

SMALL tree may bear good fruit. W h a t science says is man's best guess. History Is what - c h a racter h a s written. If we knew more we could forgive more. The peacemaker Is one who dces God's work. There is still a lions' den for every Daniel. The devil taught men how to make whisky. Do to-day what you would do on your last day. God loves to look into the heart that is grateful. Weeds grow fast when a lazy man hoes the corn. To drink a little Is to drink a great deal too much. Whatever else Is wrong. trusting God is always right. An hour spent in bad company can never be blotted out. The clouds God sends are alw~ays bright on the top sMae. The devil Is the only gainer when some people join the 'hurch. Kill off the fools, and yo", will throw the lawyers out of wnrk. Faith in God is the only thing that can kill worry stone dead. A chorus in which many lnve to join: "Didn't I tell you so?" Self-assertive men often do a large business on a small capital. We must give Christ our burden be fore be will give us his yoke. The man who would go to he.ren alone If he could, isn't fit to go. So many people are at home when a golden opportunity knocks. Our loyalty to Christ is best tested by the way we treat our enemy. Whoever is like Christ will he found trying to make earth like heaven. A civil tongue is a better protection than steel armor an inch thick. There is nothing the devil makes much more use of in this world than a rattling tongue. Pray for your enemy. no matter whether he is trying to kill you with his tongue or a gun. The devil is still making some people believe that they can serve God with out belonging to church. No matter what else he has done. the preacher has failed when he hasn't moved anybody toward Christ. The man who can pay his debts and won't do it, would steal if he could do It without being locked up. Some people show that they are on the way to heaven by what they toll ot,hers they must doc to get there. It is a common temptation with the Christian worker to think t.hat God has called him to raise the dead to begin with. The devil will not he long in making some kind of a flank movement against the preac.her who makes sinners feel their need of Christ. What Makes a Man Do This? What makes a man of .30 or 40 take a sailboat when he can't sail it. put in his friends or family for ballast, and go right out to capsizing and tragedy? You can't answer that any more than yo a xplain how such afool has made out to survive to his present ag. Why didn't be reach his deserved fate long before? No one can say. Enough that it does overtake him and he rets from ten lines to a column in the paper, according to how big a fool he was. At the shore we see sailboats run away out into the sound, until they can hardl ly be seen. andl when the clouds come Iup and it begins to thunder the ven turesome amateur who is away out there is the last to start for shelter. He doesn't know enough to know his dan ger. So It goes each summer. and each summer has its long string of drown ing tragedies for a part of its history. But, as we said before, no one summer does it up completely, so as to give civilization a fresh chance. A lot of people are drowned for their folly this year who lived through last year. which was just as good a year for drowning. and a lot will live through this year -nd go out and drown in 1S90 as read ilv as if the_' were led. The Wisconsinl Red Oak. The Wisconsin red oak has for several years taken high rank in furniture and finishing factories on account of its softness, adaptability to shop work. its~ lively color and figure. When plain sawed It commands higher prices than any onk, although quarter sawed white oak is more expensive. According to the Northwester'n Lumberman this red oak belt In Wisconsin is not wide, and at the rate the timber is being cut oft it will probably not last more than six or seven years. In the northwestern part of the State. which is not yet op ened up by railroads, there is a heavily timbered area which may contain much red oak. but it will soon h'e traversed by a railway from Duluth. Serge Skirts. Many ladies are having heavy block serge skirts made up without lining. as the serge can then be washed. The waists are finished with a tailor!'s bindiing of Nlack satin on the darts and edges. as satin relieves the dead black of the =erge: a good quality of satia should be s'lected.

Out o f the Democratic Line for the First Tirnein Years. New York State Goes Republican by 80,000. In the election on Tuesday the Republicans carried New York StLte by 80,000 plurality; New Jersey by over 15,000; 3Iaryland by 10, 000, and claim to havo captured Kentucky. Besides swinging these States over into the Republican column, they increased their usual majorities in 3Iassachusotts. Ohio, Iowa, and all the Northern States where elections wore held.

In Brooklyn a Democrati, mayor pulled thr!ugh by a narrow plurality. V7oLENCE IN BALTIMORE. The heavi"st vt, o,ver east in Baltimore was polled. It was the most exciting day Baltimore has knuwn since the war. Vio lence and di,reler were the features throughout. Not withstanding the stringent orders of Marshal Frey. most of the saloons of the city were wid' open and a great deal of drunkenness ,haracterized the day. Sev eral arrests were made: au occasional shot wss fired: btallot luxs were smashed and registration books torn to bits. The day close. however, without a political death recurdl. Senaty.

The returns of the election in New Jersey iadieate a sweeping victory for the Republi es in nearly every district, even in por tinus which have been for years strong elids of Dceocracy. John W. Grigg,, the R-V"rb liea,i candidate for Ga.vrnor,- has been elected by a surprisingly large plurality, probably by about 1.5.000. Five of the seven new State Senators are Republicans, and in the Assembly the Democrats have lost much ground. ogbo. Chairman Kurtz, of the Re'.'tublican State committee, sent telegrans to Gen. Asa S.

Suffi cient returns have not vet 1Iene re'ceived to show with any degree of certaint y what the results will be', but perese-nt iniinttions are that the vote will remain subestantially as ii was last year, except that the Populist votr for Lalwrene for Governor will cut dowr Wells', Rlepubl lican, majority.

The writing matter need only be a short description of the place or just a few lines relating to some little incident pertaining to that particular day. Anything, in fact, which will recall pleasant memories of that sum mer day's outing. The date should be - clearly written in one corner of the r page, and a flower which may, per 6 haps, mean much to the owner, may a decorate another part of the page. The cover of the trip-book may be 9 ornamented in varions ways. Just a 3 plain binding of sage green satin rib bon, with the words "Memories of Summer Days" printed on the cover in green letters and outlined with bronze, looks artistic, Another simple and yet effective decoration may be obtained by a sealing-wax stamp when it shows the impress of an old Roman coin.

A Farmer's Find. -John Stauffer has made an impor f~ tant discovery of anthracite coal on -his farm, back of Cherry Run, W. Va., a twenty miles sonth of Hagerstown. d With the aid of his son and one hired man he has mined during the past two or three months twenty tons of coal, and landed the same at the top of a y sixty-foot shaft by hand. The coal n was carefully covered, ani the mining t went on in the strictest secrecy by the .t light of an ordinary coal oil lamp. -Stauffer has now started from the bot k tom of the shaft to tunel into the s mountain. The vein is very thick, -and the coal has been pronounced -equal to the Shamokin Valley product. t Stauffer's tract embraces 1000 acres, s but his land is poor and his means are d tlimited. Some time ago options were ,secured on neighboring lands, but - prospecting met with no results. Be n fore Staufier had investigated, the ex kitent of the vein he is now working he tried to enlist the aid of local capital ee ists in the formation of a company, 1 but was not successful. After this he . started right in to work, keeping his rmovements secret and making sur e prising discoveries.--St. Louis Globe Temocrat.
