Vim Hlylo and Manner In Which They Were Christened1, M?rrlcd und Hurled?Enjoyment at Boolul Func tion*. Mra. Hartwell M. Aycr in Buuday News ) In all the length and breadth of our land there is no,otty whoso early his tory, both social and political, is moro .Interesting th/in that of our own Charleston, 4n Ante-Itevolutlouary lost from the time the first ? was planted, Charleston was rJ centre of Southern literature aud iltm and down to the thno of the (vil war Charleston was ono of tho richest eitles in tho Union and no jrhero was moro refined and olcgaut [society to be mot with. I There is much that is interesting in (tho history of our colonial and munici pal government, but for us women it If probable that most of the intcrost jontros in the personality of the people themselves. How they lived ; how thoy enjoyed themselves at their so cial funeilons; how they woro ohrls toned, how marrlod ; how thoy buried their dead, and in what manner they mourned them. All this bus a living Interest for us, whoso ancestors thoso old Charlestonlans were. Their quaint old tombstones are enough to sot us wondering] as we stroll through tho ?graveyards of St. Phillip's and the Cir cular Churoh. And though their stately marblo virtuos may bo in sharp I contrast to thoir pitiful human foot ings, wo will bo contented to lot tho ovll be interred with thoir bones, and -p.-ah of only what Is good and ploas unt. In the first place be it understood this papor does not tell of Anto-Hovo lutlouary Charlostou. Tho customs of which I write are those of tho 20's and 30's?in faot thoy are written down just as thoy were told tho writer by a lady who is, herself, a most lovoly and obarmlng bit of old Charleston and a truo type of hor kind. She has "llvetl moro than hor throe-scoro and ton years, and yot prosorves hor brightness, hor elegance and charm of mannop, and tolls of tho departed days dfch^f youth with an animation and In ?^wrest that makes it a pleasure and a privilege to llston to her. To begin with, tho Charlestonian of that day was, upon ontorlngjtho world, received with rojoicing, and all.visitors woro offered cako and wine whon they called at thehouso\jUiieh-4JioJilny new comer had condaiicondod to honof-wlth its preaonepr xnon, while yet n tender1 made its triumphant entroo ?^Tnto society at its christening, which was a very imposing and elaborate coromony. On that grand day all friends of tho parents woro bidden to tho uhureh, where tho precious mite was tho oynosuro of all eyes, and tho baptismal coromony was gono through with. Upon returning homo cako and wine woro again offered to tho invitod guests who had assembled, or, in somo oases, a diunor party was givou in honor of tho infant, especially if it were a son. Or, if neither of thoso were done, cuko was sent to friends and relatives, much us wedding cuko . Is now. The toilet of tho infant upon the baptismal day was very ologant?a -*~Tong robe, usually of Imported, hnnd ombroidorcd French muslin, with dainty shouldor knots of colored rib bon and confined at tho waist by a baud of ombroldory, under which showed ribbon of tho samo color as tho Shoulder knots. Upon its head was a tiny cap oloso fitting, (tho closer tho - '?hotter,) und having around the faco a full ruohlng of ronl thread laco. Probably tho most imposing feature of tho occasion was tho " maumer, " (tho "dah" was of later origin) in whose arms tho hero or horoino of tho occasion was borne. This individual needs especial mention. Her frock was, of courso, immaculately neat, and she woro a great chocked gingham apron. She would have scorned to ap pear without a largo and very white handkorchiof tucked In hor bolt. But her head-dress ! In thoso days sugar oamo always In largo loaves, over which was fitted u pastobonrd cover ing, very high and round, for tho bet ter protection of tho sugar. Thoso coverings woro eagerly seized upon by tho old maumas (over whose heads they, exactly fitted) and woro used as foundations for their head drosses, which woro bandanna baud kerchiefs o7 tho most gorgeous colors obtainable, w- It was often tho case that tho muu V ma into whoso earo tho little ono was I given had nursed its fathor or mother " boforo it?maybe boon maid for ono of ? \its grandmother?, whon both were tgirls. And novor were children moro lovingly cared for, moro willingly Waited upon, than by tho black hands oi* thoso samo maumas. And now, supposing the Charleston - lan iof that day to have to have boon a gir),\/hon she reached tho proper ago sho w as sent to an aristocratic school for young ladies. There woro two of these, and botwocn them existed a groat rivalry. Ono was Madumo Tal vnndo'8, and wus situated at the cor ner of Tradd and Legare streets in tho house, which is now tho homo of Judge si ii.on to ii. Tho other was Miss Dat ty's, and was kept at one time in Le garo streot, in tho house, now occupied by Major Augustino Smythe, and at another in tho house in Globo street next but ono to the corner of Wont worth. Whilo at the latter placo it was a boarding school, and ono morn ing thoro was consternation among toaohors and pupils aliko for whon thoy arose thoy found that somo miscreant had during tho night fastcnod ovor the fate a.sign, upon which was painted n largo and conspicuous lotters, "Tho Nunnory of St. Datty." To this school came girls from all tho Southern States and ovon from Cu ba. Ono pupil, a lovoly Cuban, was stricken with typhoid fovor and died in a short time. Miss Datty was so affected by hor sad death that she gave up her school and joinod tho Sis ters of Mercy. Whilo cholera was raging In Charleston sho wo? taken with the disoaso and died whilo min istering to the sick and distressed. Tho marriago customs of thoso days woro vory much llko our own, oxcopt that ohurch woddings woro unknown, . . the marriago taking place at homo, amidst general rojoleings and festivi ties. Tho bride's costumo was not of white silk, as In our time, but moro frequently of white ombroidorod mus lin, worn ovor an underslip of whlto satin. Nor' was tho voll a long ono of white tulle, but instead scarcely moro than a yard and a half in length, and made of thread lace of the very host quality, and the prlco of tho voll was enough to tnako us of those degenerate days gasp broath, slnco a huudrod dol lars would scarce s nil ice. to purohaso ono of even,tho most ordinary quality. Up on her first appournnco at a ball the bride woro hor wedding dress, and, if it woro but woro few days aftor tho coro mony, hor veil also. Tho bridos of thoso days woro younger thnn now?in faot a bride of 10 or 17 was by no means unusual. For tho young pooplo thero were balls and dancos then as now, hut all tho year evorybody looked forward to race week. This oamo during tho last of February, and was tho climax of festivities boforo tho solemn Lonton season. F.verybody had new olothes, everybody made morry, ovorybody Moat, mad over horses for that week. I Tr.o raoos woro hold at tho old Wash I Ington Knee. Course, and to tho grand I stand woro admitted ladles, but nojjen Ltlomon savo tho members of the, Club and strangers iu the city. E-vch member of the club who onterod his horse (tea Tory creme do la orcme of equine aristocracy, one uud all), had I <> cites upon its bridle of bio own es- ' peotal color, and the costume of tho jockey was of tho same color. The father of Gen. Wade Hampton always dramed In coats and caps of elegant mazarluo biuo volvot, while anotbor gentleman, equally aristocrat ic but less liberal, dressed his in red Banncl. Amid the wildest enthusiasm tho races were lost and woa. Society during race week was vory gay, often sovorul balls at private houses taking place in a single evening, But Tues day, Wednesday and Friday nights wore set aside as uloodv engaged. On Tuesday evening the St. Cecilia ball took place. Wednesday night was deloated to the annual suppor of tho Race Club. At this function the pres ident of the club was. whether ho could or not, compelled to sing a song, ,4The nigh Mettle Racer," for tho benefit of tho assembled company. Aud on Friday night cumo the race ball, the crowning event of tho uoason. Each matron and maid bad a now gown for the occasion, and tho presi dent of tho olub too* tho newest bride into supper. The floor was marked off Into circles, largo onough to admit of dancing a cotillion, and In thoso wero drawn pictures of the favorite racers, with the winner at tho head. All those and all the other grand balls and banquets were held at St. Androw's Hall, in Broad street. This building was burned long years ago. It stood on the lot now owned by Cant. F. W. Wagoner, whore now is only asinuil brlolc building, junt oast of St. Finbar's Cathedral. And now that wo have heard of the joys of thoso ancestors of ours, what of their sorrows ? Alas, tholr funerals aud their mournings seem quaint to us, but woro as sadly real to them as ours uro now. Immediately upon tho death of a motubor of the family formal Invita tions woro sout out to frionds. A great number of thoso woro invltod specially as mourners, and for these groat hoods of black silk, covering head and shoulders, woro provldod. Tho Invltod guests, lucluding tho mourners, (the chiof only of whom wore admlttod Into tho room with tho family), raugod themselves around the rooms In silence, and at last a maid servant entered bearing a si Ivor tray piled with sprigs of rusoraury. Thoso she passed around to tho inournors, each of whom took a sprig. Tho pall bearers wero all furnished with sllkon scarfs?whlto for young persons, black for those of more advanced age?and these woro worn passed ovor one shouldor and tlod In a knot at the waist on the other sido. Thore wero no carriages hired, tho friends of tho bereaved family always offering the uso of their vehiclos for the occasion. In tho funeral proces sion tho slaves followed eloso bohind the coilin, tho men with long bauners of crupo Btroaming from their huts, tho women with great bead dresses of orapo, obtained from their societies. There woro no funerals at home, tho solemn burial service being held al ways In a church and never at a pri vate residonco. And now wo of tho end of tho cen tury bavo followed tho Charlostonian of tho beginning of tho century from tho cradlo to tho grave, taking a peep at ull tho Important events of life. How far off and quaint thoso times seems ! And yot thuo docs not staud still. Only a little while it will scorn to us, and the years will rush by, and wo will bo tho grandmothers and great* grand-mothors of the young people of another day and times thet will seem new and strange. Thoy will look with wonder upon'our silvered hair and faces whoro Time bus loft his finger-prints iu sad lines and wrlnklos, and, eager for a romance of real lifo in days long past, will plead, " Grandmother, teil us about when you woro young.". TUB CAPTAIN'S WAR BTOIUE8. Iloth Wonderful, Especially the One About I'M ring at a I'uu'ot' Smoke. "When T was commanding a cavalry outpost during the war, " said tho cap tain, a former Confederate ollicor, fa mou: for his roinarkablo war stories, " wo wero camped near Salem, Va., and it was tho only time boforo, or since, that Virginia has bad such heavy rains. We wore wot through and through, and almost dead from ex posure. 1 had received for my owu uso a live-gallon kog of primo old Ken tucky whiskey froi l an old friend, but boforo I bad u cbanco to sample tho li quor I was obliged to ride out on scout. " All during that ride I was chuck ling to myself at the treat I'd give tho boys whon we got back, and, inci dentally, how I would enjoy some of tho contents of that keg myself. Well, sir, when wo camo back after a live hOurc' ride iu that rain, soaked through, hungry and disfctinted, I told tho men about that kog of old John" Barleycorn. Did they smile'. It was tho nearest approach to a laugh that had boon hoard in that section of the country for many a day. " Upon dismounting, all gathered around my tont. I ontored, grabbed a tin cup, smiled and turned tho spigot. But not a drop ran out. I pulled tho air-plug from the top, but thore was only tho tantali/.ing odor of tho good old rod eyo Kentucky alone brows. Tho mon woro muttering at what they called my ill-timed joke. Tho disappointment was groater than grieved humanity could boar. "Suddenly I turned, saw a soldier happy in his steadiness, in front of u tont about fifty foot from mo. In all that outpost tho only whiskey soon in two weeks was that which I had re ceived. 'Twos but a moment to con nect tho elfect and cause. I fouud threo houvy sleepers in that tent, tho ground was wot with raro, soft liuuor, ovory tin wash-basin, cup and vessel was tilled with that heavenly liquor. Tho secret was out, so was tho whis key. I investigated and found that thoso men had learned of my having the kog, had cut sumo long rice straws, made a conduit fifty feot in longth by joining thorn togothor, tapped tho kog and run the whiskey into thoir own tont that long distunco away. " The captain stopped, lighted his ci gar anew, while his auditors norvous ly shifted thoir positions. Nono ?poko for a full mi cute. Then tho llttlo man who hnd tramped the region ubont Su lem under "Old Glory ' asked In a mild and apologetic volco, "Captain's what duos tho rico crop amount to now around tho Salom country V" "No rico was ovor raisod there or theroabouts," said tho doughty but forgotful warrior. Tho painful silence was finally broken by tho captain hlmbolf, who spun another yarn, which was as fol lows : " Whon I was commanding a cavalry, outpost during tho war I had occasion* to make a personal examination of the land. I rode with my orderly to a knoll somo half milo from camp, and leisurely bogan to study my position with tho aid of u flold glass. "Suddenly I jerked my hoad back involuntarily, and whiz/, wont a sing ing rillo ball so oloso to my car that I could fool tho wind of its flight. A puff of smoke was tho only evidence of tho shurpshootcr. Notono, but flvo or six times, did this involuntary muscu lar action tako my head backward from tho lino of tho shot and saved my lifo. I novor could explain or under stand that Providential inusoulur ac tion. Turning to my orderly, I g -l/ed his carbine, aimed at that smoke a milo away, tired, anil all was still again. No more shots enmo aud wo "oturncd tooamp. In tho ait -moon a party of us rode ovor tho eoun'.ry, and coming to the spot where t-ie shots bad come from in tho mornin;, heard groans. "Thoy proceoded from a wounded Yankee hidden bohind a rail feneo. d ho had fired sovoral shots at a Confederate officer on yonder knoll, but had not been able to hit bim, i though he had good range and waa < considered a wonderful sharpshooter, > and the rob had fired but one shot at1 him and that with direful results. The | ball buried itself in his leg. cutting \ one of tho main artorles. The man' was beyond human help. We gave | hitn water and ho soon lost, all signs of j life. Wo redo away and left all that was mortal of tho poor follow behind that fenoo." This tale was too much. One by one tho smokers arose and movod to wards the door in silence deep and thinkatlvo. The first man to reach the door turned, and in a rich New England twung, shouted, " I've been called a liar for telling that story, cap tain, but I'm tho shurpshootor you kill ed that day."

REPORT ON ANTITOXIN 10. An Interesting Statement ol'ItH Mnim f'acturo and Experiments With It, Frank Mason, United Stato Consul at Frankfort, has submitted to tho de partment of States almost interesting report on antltoxino, tho new curative for *?r.d ? preventive of diphthoria. Ho explained that he Is inipnltod to do this becauso tho subject is about to en gage the attention of Congress, becauso of tho largo numbor of Inquiries for detailed Information concorning anti toxlne, and because at Frankfort is tho only establishment where it has been produced commercially in quantities adequate, to moot the rapid increasing demand. He suggests tho early pub lication of tho roport. Mr. Mason gives a clear and detailed description of ovory step in tho process of production of tho now remedy, reached by an accurate historical sketch of its discovery and develop ment. Tho factory at Frankfort to which ho rotors is that at tho "Far* broork at Hecbst-on the-Main." Shoep and goats, which at first woro ouayloy ed to produce tho serum, woro discard ed becauso their tissues woro affected by tho various foods thoy consumed, and recourse was had to horses. Tho establishment now utilizes the blood of soventy-six horses and has a trained corps of more than fifty men employed at this ono work, pro lacing ut present about 2000 doses per day, and by tho ond of this month it will supply tho demand. It is absolutely requislto that tho horses bo young, vigorous and physically porfeet, and no racing stud was over hotter housed, exercised, fed and (tared. Tho antl-toxino Improves with age, at least during tho first two months, und tho German physicians no longer use it fresh, whon it is apt to cause skin eruption. Early application, howovor, is of tho utmost importance. In soventy-two cases of childron, treat ed within two days of tho first appear ance of diphthoria, but two casos wero fatal, and tho death rato in suoh cases Is placed at four per cent. In Germany, where tho fatal cases used to average sixty por cent and not loss than fifty thousand llvos woro annually sacrificed to tho diphthoria scourgo, the mortali ty has been rcducod to less than ono fourth, and it will bo still further ro ducod when tho country physicians u90 it freoly. A serious opidomio of diphtheria at Trieste has boon prac tically mastorcd by untl-toxino. ?A farmor by tbo namo of Brannon, about eight miles from Spartanhurg, mado up his mind at tho beginning of 1804 that ho would dovoto ovory Satur day to markoting eggs and butter. He started in with forty-oight hous and two milch cows. Sometimes ho gave only half a Saturday to selling these Eroduct ?. During tho year his hens rought in $75 and his huttor |3tf. making a total of 9111. Ho supplied his own table with thcao articlos and sold what the family did not uso. He was a one-horse farmor and mado six bales of cotton, whioh brought him in about $lf>0. If he had owned ono more milch cow his butter and eggs would have made as much as his cot'on crop. ?The dwolling of Rev.

Jan. 9.?Stato Treas urer Taylor, who bhould have turned ovor hU cash to hh successor yester dap, failed to uppear and his bank, tho Redfield National I'.auk, bus closed Its doors. When hint heard of Taylor was In New York. On Saturday he should have had $350,000, and should havo paid $190.000 Saturday to take up fund ing warrants in Now York. His bends are $.150.000, but will stand 50 per cent, shrinkage It has been known for some tim? that Treasurer Taylor was hard fu'essed. Ho was caught In the Chem oal National Dank failure at Chicago for a large amount and he lost $20,000 In tho bank at Mllbank, and $10,000 in that at Geldsberg, which failed during the panic. Altogether ho lost $100,000. Tho first National Dank at Hedfield, Taylor's bank, closed its doors yester day. Tho bank is in good condition, and it is thought will pay all its debts. The banks atPiorre will not lose any thing. If the defalcation Is as largo as the bondsmen bellevo, it will plaee the I State in a very ombarrassing poBitiou. No warrants or bonds oan bo sold, and there is a considerable deficiency in the revenue. Without this it would havo been a difficult problem to make both onds meet; now It is impossible. Taylor has always hud a roputatlon as a financier and a man of Integrity. The school fund may loso $50,000. Pierre, S. D., Jan. 10.?Later de velopments show that the defalcation of Treasurer Tuylor has not been over estimated. There should havo been $370.000 In tho treasury. All tho funds in -sight consist of about $15,000 In tho Pierre bauks. December 31, a draft of $35,000 was gent to Taylor at Now York. Efforts havo been mado to stop this draft, but It is thought to be too luto. Tho Chase National Bank of New York, whioh holds tho warrants, telegraph ed yostorday thoy had not boon paid and that Tayior had not boon seen tnero for sovorul days. Advices from Aberdeen uro to tho offeet that Taylor took a littlo money with him, but lost It all through his friends whom ho helped during the fi nancial panic. When ho wanted tho monoy returned his friends woro not able to accomodato him. Amoug tho persons to whom lie loaned money are said to bo several Stato officials, and If criminal prosecutions uro instituted there will bo some sensational develop ments boforo the case Is ondod. Some time ago Taylor wout to Now York for the purpose of raising funds to closo his accounts with the State, but recent advices aro to tho effect that he was unablo to negotiate a loan and bo announced his intention of never returning to Dakoto. His friend he bitterly approached for not coming to his aid wncn in need. His present whereabouts are unknown, but it is thought ho bos gono to a foreign country. His bond of $325,000 is said to bo good, but it will not begin to covor the amount of shortage as it ap pears at present. Tho auditor lias called upon tho county treasurers for any funds that may bo in their posses sion, and tho Attorney General has commenced making preparations for realizing upon Taylor s bond. In his mcssago read on Tuesday, Governor Sheldon eomplimonted the Treasurer for tho ability and zeal which ho had shown in tho manage ment of ills otlicc, but iu a special mes sage to b3th houses yesterday ho re quested that thin bo eliminated whon t*>? mo9sagc is printed. Tho bank at Kodliold has rocoived a iottor from Taylor stating that he loft its matters iu good shape ; that lie had boon trying to straighten out bis shortage to tho State, but had failed, and no ono at Red field or Pierre would ever sco him again. Pierre, S. D., Jan. 11.?The Taylor defalcation still absorbs all tho inter est at tho capital. Every ono has been awaiting tho arrival of Ex-Governor Mellett, who camo in on last evening's train. Ho is ono of Taylor's bonus* men. Ho wired from Lafayette, Ind., that ho would bo hero last night and not to begin suit on the bonds, as bo would'turn over ovoything to tho Stato. As Lafayotto is the homo of Taylor's father it is supposed that Mellett would havo a proposition from tho bondsmon for some sort of a settlement. This is not true. Ho comes simply as an individual and is unable to throw any direct light on tho situation. Ho givos somo information, however, which has changed tho theory on which tho pooplo here havo been pro ceeding, namely, that Taylor has boon collecting ovory cent of available cash in or lor to pinch the Stato and force a compromise. Tho ox-Governor has bad somo inti mate business rolationswith Taylor, and onThursday last wont to Chicago'to meet him. Taylor had left tho day bo foro, howovcr, end though Mollott searched for him two days, ho could ?Ot no trace of-him. Hojthon wont to Lafay otto and discovered that Taylor was short, so tiiat his friends wero unable to help him out, and that the dofault was inevitable. Mollott was In Chicago De cember 12th, and met Taylor thore. Tho latter was apparently in confi dence with a number of his friends and bondsmon and with Leppclhum, whoso bank at Gettysburg failed three months ago, and tbrough that camo Taylor's ruin. Tho ex-Governor states that Taylor told him a short timo ago tho story of tho bank ut Gettysburg and tho way ho was caught during tho Canic eighteon months ago. Tho ank got into close quarters and ap pealed to Taylor to help. After con sulting with various bunkors ho loaned $4,000 of tho State's money, ull agree ing that to let tho bunk fail at that timo would endanger every bunk in the State and would probably bring A LOOK AT YOUR TONOUE will show you whether you need Dr. Piorcc's Pleasant Pellets.

CONSTITUTION Ali CONVENTION. Timely Suggest tons of Hon J. A. ?ligli in tho Interest of Unity. Voieo of the People. I notice that Editor Williams, of tho Greenville News, proposes a plan by which tho Reformers and Conserva tives may bo represented in tho con stitutional convention according to tho respeetivo strength of the two factious. Tho plan looks to tho calling of a mass meeting In euch county to be composod of such Reformers und Conservatives who favor a non-partisan convention. It is suggested that tho basis of repre sentation bo mado upon tho compara tive vote Tillraan and Sheppard re ceived in 1802, and that tho Reformers in said . mass meeting nominate, llvo times tho number of candidates to which thol?* strength outitles thorn, and that the Conservatives do likewise, and that tho Conservatives soloct from tho nuinbor of Reforraors so nominat ed tho delegates to which tho Reform ers arc entitled, and that tho Reform ers go through tho same process with the Conservative nominees, and that tho men so selected bo the candidates bofore tho August primary. The plan is very vague us to tho representation to be given to fractional parts of tho vote of 185)2. This plan hns somo things about it to commend it to every honest man, but in somo fow particulars it is very objoctionablo. After thinking over tho matter care fully and desiring to see fair play among both factions of the Democratic party aud the convention composed of | tho best, truest and most patriotic men in tho State, 1 beg to submit tho following suggestions for tho consider ation of tiie pooplo of Nowborry Coun ty, as li plan for the county : 1st. Lot a mass meeting, such as is contemplated by the Greovillo News, be ealloil to meet in February or March next. To put a head to such a moot ing and to give order and systom to it, it might be well to ask tho Coun ty Democratic Executlvo Committee to make the call and to allow from each Domocratlc olub double tho re presentation it had in tho last county convention. This would mako quite a representative body, and in muny re spects would bo moro just than a more mass meeting of olths >ns picked up hero and everywhere. 2d. Lot the mass meeting or conven tion when assembled agreo to propor tion out the delegates to bo olectcd to tho convention according to tho voto given by each faction to Tillman and Sheppard in 18i>2. 3d. Let tho Reform dologates pres ent nominate live times the nuinbor of men to which they uro entitled in tho convention and tho Conservatives do the same, and then let these same Re form delegates solect by a majority ballot from among tho wholo number of candidates so nominated their pro rata share of tho dologates, and the Conservatives to do likewise. As Now berry Count y will havo four delegates in tho constitutional conven tion, and as tho Reformers are justly entitled to two of tho four, according to tho basis proposed, und tho Conserva tives to ono, lot tho faction having a majority of tho factional voto bo allow ed tho fourth delegate. Thus in this voto of 1802, upon which wo propose to base tho representation. Tillman received out of 2,022 votes 1,190, and Sheppard 832. Tho 2,022 votes cast give one dolegato to every 505 votes.

Gov't Report Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE of the 1,100 votes cast by them, and tho ono Conservative delegate absorbs 505 of tho votes ca9t by thorn, leaving the Reformers 180 votes and tho Conserva tives 327 votes not absorbed or repre sented, wb ich is a majority In favor of tho Conservatives of 147 votes. Now to give justico to both parties, my plan would be to allow tho Reformers to put in nomination fivo well known Con servstives, not half-breol, mr hot headed, foolish, unreasonable and pre judiced Conservatives, but good, honest and part riot ic mou ; and then for an equal number of Conservatives and Reformers to nominate one out of tho five so nominated. When tho fivo can didates are nominated lot an equal number of Conservatives and Reform ers ballot and continuo to do so until ono of tho five has recoived a majority of all tho votes cast. All tho Conservatives may thus vo?o, and tho dlft'orent Reform delegations may seloctlous au equul nutuberu of j delogutes In nominating this fourth man. Tho justico of selecting this candidate will readily commend itself to all fair minded men. Tho Conservatives get tho delegato and assist in Iiis election. Tho Re formers name the fivo men out of whom one is to be solected, and assist in mak ing that selection, aud thus holding tho balance of power. Lot tho four men thus nom'nutud bo tho four candidates who shall go beforo tho people In the August primary. It is important that tho mass moot ing or convention should be hold at an early date. I am informed that tho Republicans havo rocolved, or will shortly receive, marching ordci s with a view of uaptur ing the Constitutional Convoutton. The only hope that those people hav of succeeding in this, is a division among the whites, and thus obtain white Independents as leaders. I hope that thero is uo Reformer In Nowherry County who is unwilling f grunt to tho Conservatives ropreseutu- j tion iu tho comir.tr Constitutional Con venfiou. Theso are cltizoilS of our county and State. Their homes, their property, their loved ones and friends uro hero, and it is their county and State just as much as it is any Refor mers, and they themselves and their all Is to be touched and affeotod by tho now constitution. Yos, let them "have! all tho representation to which their voting strength entitles them, and let us all, Reformers and Conservatives, come together for once, if we even divide afterwards, and work for tho common interest and good of South Carolina. As the Constitution is to bo for all the people and may cither prove u blessing or curso t? ourselves and future generations, I can conceive of no guthcring of tho representatives S, the people of South Carolina fraught with such great importance, and so pregnant With results us the Constitu tional Convention to h? held in Col umbia in September next. 1 have al ways thought that a Judge who has to no inconsiderable extent at his disposal tho property, the happiness, tho liber ties aud lives of Iiis fellow citizens should bo the best, the purest and wis est of all men. So I think in regard to the men who goto frame a constitution for tho entiro peoplo of a otmroon wealth. Wo waut men, truo, honest wise and patriotic men, to frame thut constitution; men wholovo their homes and county, and who can rise above their prejudices and solf-intoroM, and take a position from which they cm look into every nook and corner, into cvory homo and Qrosido, iuto every field of labor and department, of busi ness and labor and work, not onlj I r themselves and those who are now li - ing, but for future posterity, and thus leave behind thorn and us a rich an.I glotlOUS legacy for our children and children's children.
