On yesterday tho County Democratic Convention mot in tho court house pur suant to the call of tho Executive Com mittee, tho object being; the reorgani zation of the party for the ensulug two years. Tho reprosoutatlon was not full owing to the inclement day no doubt. Laurons Township olub No. i "1" was for some reason uuropresentod, i although thirteen] delegates had boon elected for that club. A temporary organization was promptly had by tho election of O. P. Goodwin as President, J. Androw Jonos, vlce-Presidont and Jno. M. Hudgens, Secretary and Treasurer. Tho"verlflcation of the delegates took some time and on tho roport of a com mitteo on credentials tho .organization was made permanent. Tho executive committee raon wore reported to tho convention, one from each club, and confirmed by the convention. This was cloarly unnecessary and the Convention had no power in tho matter, tho Constitution giving tho right of each Club to elect d member of tho County Executive Committee. The business of the Con vention about concluded, Mr. G. P. Smith moved, that Sonator Irby being in the city, he be invited to address the Convention which was ordorcd and a committee consisting of throo dologutcs soon oscorted tho Senator to tho floor of tho Convention introduced by dolo gato J. W. Yoargln. At this tlmo tho bouse, was very thin, but after tho Son ator had spoken but a few moments tho large court room was comparatively crowded. Tho Sonator oftor being greotod with choers procooded In u calm way to say that it was not his In tention to mako a speech; that ho was chairman of tho party in this State and that a canvass was now actlvo and to discuss tho issues would bo improper, in him. Ho howovor drifted along over, as it wore, tho shallows,and finally drifted Into deep water, and made a speech covorlng a largo Hold of Fede ral and Stato polities and touching many things. Without attempting to give a roport of a speech of an hour, tho following aro salient points of a spooch extomporc and not cut out for the occasion; Aftor Congross adjourns ard after a short visit to Now York ho would ro spond to an Invitation to mako a speech In tho county In this or noxt month. If 1 woro to speak here to-day I might bo inisroprcsontod; only a stenographic roport of a spoech ought to go out; In twenty minutes what I havo to say would flash over tho wires tho length and breadth of this land, it is an eas ier thing to start a Ho on him than on any man In tho Unitod States. When ho wont into politics ho did not ex pect to bo electod to tho legislature Ho had tho fortuno. of Laurons; Lau rens had furnished many loaders and prominent men for tho country. To secure tho rights of tho people it was necessary for him to run for tho legis lature In 1880. There were all around wolves In shoop's clothing posing as tho friends of the people He said ho had been a quiet modest man In con gross. When necessary for tho pro tection of tho working men ho had al ways been at his post; when necessary for tho protection of your interests I will bo there. Tho proposed tariff law is a humbug and fraud and but for the McKinley law ho would not support it. Ho had not caucusscd with his party because of the sugar trust contamina tion. Two yoars ago he was opposed to Cleveland; told them thoy would get nothing out of Cleveland's administra tion; Cleveland a hypocrite and fraud: Cleveland no Democrat, but an aristo crat, all his associations boing with the money power. Ho himself was a full blooded Domocrat, (emphasized) tho party in this State was purely Demo cratic, the South was Democratic; he would be tho last man In South Carolina to leavo tho party; Tom Watson was a very bright young fel low, but Incapable of leadership and all tho South if handled right would bo right and with South Carolina Dem ocrats, (moaning Tillman). The South and West must get together and with Boies and Tillman or Stevenson lio be hind a log in 185)0, and down tho Clove land Ites. Thero is but one party for tho South; tho Democratic. Drive out Cleveland and stick to the party. In ten yoars wo will havo relief. I saved tho Democratic party in this Stato two years ago from disolution. Stand by tho Reform party, It Is your salvation. Butlor has been kind and courteous to mo always and I havo no complaint against him personally, but Tillman roprosonts your views and support him for tho Unitod States Sonato. This Government belongs to tho white man, and must and will bo gov orncd by whito mon. It was right that a negro should roprcscnt tho 7th Dis trict; it was set apart for him: tho no groosaroall rogistorcd in that District: everything tho last four yoars had been fair, no fraud In cloctlons, all had their rights, and the negroes would voto with tno Tillmanltos. Very pleasantly ho said there was danger of tho antis joining them and named two present eonvorts In Laurcns, but thoy would soon bo for kicking him and Tillman out. An effort had been mado last Spring to oust him from tho Chairmanship but he hung out In tho interost of tho party: had boon twice olocted and would sorve out his term. Tho spoech was delivered in the best of temper, tho speaker showing vicious only wlien ho named Cleveland, and terribly In earnest when ho claimed he was a Domocrat and those ho repre sented. While ho claimed ho repre sented all tho party In this Stato. Cross Hill Notes. John Neely at tho ago of 75 years, died on tho 2nd lust. Ho was a good quiet citlzon and all his life hold tho plow handles. Ho will bo greatly missed by his family and neighbors. Peace to his ashes.

I L Scuinu, Burusvlllo Not??. It becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of Mrs. Richard Simpson, which occurred on tho evening of the 25th ult., after a lingering Illness of twenty-six years. She faithfully an I piously awaited tho calling of "Him who reigns on nigh," and was porfectly willing to mako her departure unto that everlasting and colestlal felicity.

C, on the 22 I day of June, 1894, Mr. J. W. D. GoilDARD. We know wo must at some period of our existence givo up this life and enter upon another, and the thought always brim s to our minds a degree of sadness. But if wo be ready for tho great change ?our faith being (.trongly fixed upon the promises given to us in tho word of God?we can look beyond tho grave and exclaim: "Oli, Death! wlierc is thy sting; Oh, Gravel where is thy victory." Wo believe Walter Goddabd was ready, having, as we trust, prepared for death during his w ell spent life. Wai.tkr was a dutiful son, a kind and devoted brother, and lived an honest and consistent member of M. E. Church South. We have known Wai.tkr from his early boyhood, and can truthfully say he was true to duty, obedient to his parents, and kind to relatives and friends. Oh I what a source of comfort to the sorrowing hearts of his family to know that he lived a lifo of honesty, and dying leaves behind a name loved and respect ed by all who knew him. We shall meet Wai/tkr no moro here in this world, but wo hnvo tho blessed assurance that we may meet him in the better world never to separate. Wai.tkk died very quietly and peace fully, fully conscious and entirely re signed to going. Oh! ho .v our heart went out in sym pathy to his sorrowing family as they stood by his dying bed. Our tears si lently full with theirs as Waltkr breath ed Ins last with his head pillowed upon our arm. Ho will be sinceroly mourned, and tho sympathy of tho entiro neighborhood with tho family will ho deeply felt. ?J. lt. S. Mt. Gallagher, 8. O, July 31, '91. DM GUI SCHOOLS!
