STATE PI.ESS ASsOCIATION.
Imnmediately upon my return :r,
the meetin( of the state Press Ass'oci
ation at (;eorgetown. I had to leave to
attend the mleetinr of tIe N crth aro
Ina Synod at EnochtieN. C. I re
turned this Imorning, after travel
ing all night, very tired. still. I want
to say something very briefly of the
meeting at (eorgetown, and express
my apprceiation of the kindne,s re
ceived at the hands of the good people
of this beautiful and historie old town.
These annual gatherings of the ed
itors of the State always result in good.
An exchauge of opinions, and a dis
Cussion of the practical, as well as the
theoretical, phase of the profession, will
enlarge one's view, of things, not to
speak of the social features.
The hospitality of the citizen . of
(;eorgetown seems to have had no
bounds. A committee of the Board
of Trade, with the president. Mr.
L. S. Ehrieh in charge, met the
train at Lane's and took us in
charge, anti we were entertained
right royally at private re:idences.
Of this special committee was Mr.
josiah Doar. editor of the Times.
and als Sherit of Ze!orgeown. This
committee, under the direction of the
Board of Trade, had entire charge of
the entertainmalt and did their work
well.
The aociati.)n w.ai well att-nded
and much interest manifested, and
many practical questions discussed.
The annual address of Col. Hoyt was
one of unusual interest.
The sail on the bay was a treat to an
inland editor. We also had the pleas
tire of zittending the unveiling cere
monies of tile monument erected by
the ladies to the Confederate dead, and
to hear the able and eloquent address
of Gen. Elliison C qi rs.
I was entertained at the hospitable
home of _Mr. W. 6. Guyton and Lel
under special o*,ligatiipns to him for
kindnesses.
Newberrry uhou:i now feel an es
pecal interet i:i -he Association as
one of her so-s vast tnmouslv elected
pre-Ident f<r the ensuing year. But in
honoring him thle A eintion has but
shown an Opreciati n of true merit
and genuine dvvotion to journalism
and has honored imelf. Mr. W. H.
Wallace will prove a wise selection,
and what can be. will be done by him
to elevate the charater and tone of
journalism in S>uth Carolina. The
Herald and News extends its congratu
lations to its con:emuporary.
There are nvany other things I nmight
speak of, tbut the space is wanting.
MIaj. L. WV. C. Bialock was also in our
party from Newberry and enjoyed the
festi'-e ccasion along with the editors.
We shall all long remember pleasantly
our visit to Georgetown. E. H. A.

C1AitARrON, April :,(.-The voice
)f the unterrilied democracy of Charles
on was uplifted to-day and its song
vill be heard all over the land. The
-itv deiocratic conventioi w%lhich met
ii flibernian hall at noon consisted of
1j out of the 114 delegates elected. In
he ranks of the delegates were many
)f the meu who answered to the roll
!all in 1', and quite a number of the
'Iug demt)rats who have grown up
inee. The object of the convention
Nas to endeavor to heal the breach now
?xisting in tle party. It was presided
)-ver at tne outset v Major Edward
Willis, the chairman of the municipal
lemocratic executive committee, who
1n calling the convention to order,
aid:
"I believe the best interests of the
leniocratic pVrty will be promoted by
lien door deliberation. Crge the most
iueral and unrrestricted registration. I
ravor a primary election that will be
air and impartial. recognizing every
>ruanized faction of the party. I hope
vour deliberai ions will be such as may
pare the citiztns of Charleston any
nssensi,)n. bitterness and ixcitement
ikely to grow out of the long c.upaign
which is befo7e us.
'It is the duty and privilege of the
municipal denmocracy to so alter our
rules as to ad:pt whatever there may
be in the rules of the State democratic
-ommittee which will enable us to act
in concert and harmony with the party.
We owe it to the niembers of the de
mocracy of Charleton to select the best
men in our ranks to represent us."
[Applause]. B. H. Rutledge, Jr., was
then elected chairman of the convenl
ion.
On motion of State Senator A. T.
Smythe, a corimittee of twelve, one
from each ward, was apPointed to con
sider and rtport what cianges, if any,
were necessary in the constitution of
the municipal democratic party.
This conmi.tee, after a recess, sub
nitted a report wh;ch, in elivet: adopted
the constitution of the party adopted
bv the State democratnc pary in lSIHI.
It provides for the election by the con
vention of a new executive committee
which is to serve until the meeting of
the democratic convention in the fall.
The nembers of the conmnittee are to
be suggested by the democratic ward
clubs. The representation in the con
vention is to be based upon the mem
bership of the ward clubs as under the
State denocratie party constitution. In
other words every coneession Was made
to t he demands of the alle:red reformers.
After electing an executive committee
the convention adjourned subject to a
recall (if tile committee.
Another convention under the auspi
ces of "Ocktv' ('len will be held on
Monday next. At this convention the
delegates will be selected by the demo
cratic ward clubs recently organized in
the city and it is expected that a muni
cipal ticket will be put out.
The regular demiocracy will not norn
inate its ticket until the fall. It
should be mentioned that a considerable
number of the democrats of Charleston
have enrolled themselves in the newly
organized ward clubs. It is not improb
able that the may convention will be
captured by the regular democrats,
better known as "ringsters." There
are in the city not over :,50P registered
voters, whites and blacks, democrats
and republicans. At the democratic
primaries yesterday nearly 1,:tInl votes
were polled. No report was nmade to
night of the number of '-reformers"
who voted at the ward club meetings
for delegates to the MIay convention.
INDICATIONS OF A G;ENERA L C03iPRO
311SE.
CH1ARLFSTON, M1ay 2.-Thle newly
elected democratic executive committee
held its first meeting to-day. A num
ber of the recently organized demo
cratic clubs sent in their applications
for membership. All of these applica
tions were referred to a sub c.ommiittee
with instructions for enrollment under
the State constitution would be re
ceived later. This action of the dem
crat ic executive COm mittee evidently
means that there will ne a conhpro
mise in the ranks of the party. No
oficial action, however, will be taken
until after thc adjournment of the
lay coniventionl, wvhich rep resents a
ver'y respectable minority- of the demil
oeritie party in the city. The M1ay
convention meets on MIonday next. I t
wil. be composed of very respectable
members of the denmocracy of Char
lestm. The supposition is that the
convention will adjourn without ac
tion and( the work of the municipal
den ocratic executive convenltionI seems
tol have healed the breach in the party.
It is possible that thlere may be two
tick*ets in th'e field, but the election
will be deided by the democr.ats en
tirelv.

NO POLITICS IN TT.
[Special to News and Courier.]
ColUMINA, Mray 4.-The Centennial
committee, at a meeting this evening,
sat down heavy on local professional
politicians, who have been trying for
some weeks to plunge the pestiferous
fly into the Centennial ointment. The
Centennial cornmittee pledg, d the peo
ple of the State at the inception of the
great undertaking that- there should be
no politics in the affair. Occurrences
and publications within the past few
days, however. indicated to the com
i~ittee that a few people, at least, did
not intend to help the committee to
carry out its wishes. Therefore th4
com~mittee passed to-uight the follow
ong resolution, which was given out
for publication:
"The Centennial executive commit
tee request that in the decorations of
the centennial there be no p,litical
matters nor any devices of the same
which shall give to the cent,.nnial cele
bration any political aspect. It is to be
distinctly understood that there is
nothing to promote the political pros
pects of any person or parties."
THE STATE EXCHANGE.
A New Style of Hagging to be Trieu.-A Reg
ular Fertilizer Formula.
[The State, 1st.1
The board of directors of the State
Allianet * .ane continued in session
all day yesterday and until a late hour
yesterday afternoon. A new style of
cotton b)agging, known as the "KRing
Cotton Bale Covering," manufacturetl
in Atlanta was discussed at length, and
it was decided to give it a trial, but the
committee declined to render its report
until after this was done. The new
bagging is made of wire net covered
with a coat of asbestos, and is fire
proof. The outside cover is a layer of
netted wire, taking the place of ties,
and great superiority is claimed. A
committee consisting of J. A. Sligh,
Newberry, chairman ; W. 0. Cain,
Sumter, M1. L. Donaldson, Greenville,
und 0. B. Riley, Orangeburg, was ap
p)ointed to adopt a regular Alliance
formula for an Alliance fertilizer-one
thoroughly adapted to the soil and one
that can be given to a regular manu
facturer to supply the farmers with.
This committee will report to the Alli
ance in Julyv next. ThRe aud:tiug comn

LSpecial to the State.]
BENNETSVILLE, S. C., May 1.
.Judge C. P. Townsend delivered an
Alliance address to a small crowd, last
Saturday evening, about nine miles.
north of town. His speech was a ti
rade of abuse against the:noney power,
and calculated to prejudice the country
people against the town people. He
:oId his audience that the farmers of
Marlboro Covnty were financially I
worse ott now than they were fifteen S
years ago, and told thei that the
Bennettsvi:le people were building E
brick stores, tine re-idences and laying P
off elegant flower yards with the 1
n:onev which they should have. His F
speeci was a continual chain of ex
travagaut assertifls, calculatel to do
much harni, and will, if believed, breed I
much prejudice and auimo-ity. It is i
unfortuo-ite that the Alliance will in- I
vite such speakers to address thei, but (
fortunately the citizens of Marlboro are I
no longer influenced by such speezhes.
Why do they call on lawyers to do
their speech making and expound Alli
ance doctrine?
