on several resolutos, all the report
on resolutions were adopted as man<
by the committee on resolutions. The
Convention seemed inclined to leavt
itself in the hands of the committee or
resolutions.
When the Richardson resolution op"
posing nominations was read the first
real but uuucecssful fihrht was made
Delegate Bowman, of Sumter. sa
he must object to such an inactivt
fight. He wanted to have some stand
ard bearer.
T. M. Richardson, the mover of the
resolution, said that a great wrorn
would be done the cause by the uoui
nation of a ticket. It would put pro
hibition back ten years. He said lit
had felt the pulse of the people, and
the majority of Prohibitionists didn't
favor a nomination. It would he be l
to proceed slow and sure.
Mr. Bowman: "I want my b-.inne
carried by a Prohibitionist. I want t<
have the world see who are my leaders
There was no use to come here if wt
don't want to have our flags carried tt
victory. Hell is paved with resolu
tions and I'm opposed to put anothei
brick there with a lot of resolutions
We want to put out a complete ticke
in the coming fight. If we have nc
leader in our fight in the Sheppard
Tillman fight our cause will be con
pleteiy lost. It we do nothing Tillmar
and Sheppard can say we have mradt
you no pledges and do not recognizt
them. If we are rik let us make the
fight. I want a candidate for myself
I can't vote for anyone who is not
Prohibitionist. I want my candidat<
and unless we put up one I cau't gel
him. You have no right to disfranchist
me or anyone else."
The Rev. Mr. Willikms, a Baptis1
preacher of Barnwell, president of thi
first Prohibition convention, said thal
be was very glad to see the greal
growth of the mnovament. I do not be
lieve, said he, in the Democratic part3
if it is not for prohibition. I considet
myself better than the party. God
made me and He did not make an3
party. I do not believe in any Thir<
Party. I believe in a first party, anc
it is the Prohibition party. Barnwel:
Couity is strongly in favor of prohibi
tion.
Mr. N. W. Brooker said he was op
posed to the nomination of a Statf
ticket. He said that to nominate s
ticket would be death to the cause, 01
would at least result in setting it bac
ten years. He sRici they had a majoritc
in this State a:.ii ought to proceed witb
care. Both of the present. candidate:
for Governor aie sober men.
Mr. Richardson said the nomination
of a ticket by the convention had not
been seriously entertained. It mattered
little who is Governor. The prohibi
tion cause rested with the Legislature
of the State.
Mr. Steadman, said that if the con
vention put out a ticket it would place
the members of the icoement outside
the Democratic party.
The resolution was almost uca.i
mously carrieri and the anti-nouina
tionists were gii.t.uly successful.
Mr. Nettle's resolution favoring the
box for aldirect vote on prohibition and
no prohibition was pass+ after he had
explained the intention of the resolu
tion.
Mr. Nettles said that with the box he
proposed South Carolina would go for
prohibition by 75 per cent. Prof Hayne
said that if a man had not principle
enough to take any stand he did not
want him elected. He did not want
Prohibitionists made by a tide, but a
man of stability and principle.
The Rev. Mr. Chrietzberg said in
support of the resolution that every
county in the State would go for prohi.
bition, with two exceptions. There was
considerable more debating on the
Nettles resoiution, which was finally
adopted.
The other resolutions wvere then,
without serious objection, adopted a's
reported.
Mr. L. D. Childs said that in justice
to hirpself he would like to know to
deg iBid e ;rention desired his
services. %
Mr. Brooker moved tiiiirnmatter
be referred to the executive comnmittee;
After the resolutions had all been
cleared away the Rev. Mr. Moffat read
the following platform, which was un
animously adopted.
PLATFORM.
We, the Prohibitionists of South
Carolina, in con.vention assembled, bow
before Almighty God and acknowledge
Him as the guide and ruler in all true
governments. We are ainalterably op
posed to the liquor traffic, a traffic by
which at least $53,000,000 are annually
taken from our already impoverished
people to be squandered by the liquor
dealer and gambler; by which our
Courts are kept occupied with criminal
business, our jails filled with prisoners,
our Penitentiary with convicts, our
poor houses withn paupers and our asy
lums with lunatics: by wvhich many of
our boys after being educated are un
titted for business and utt'erly ruined
and many of our girls degraded into
servants of drunken husbands, while
the parents suffer untold misery, and
by which our civilization is demoralized
and the very church of God hindered
in its work-in brief, a traffic against
the inte!tectual, social, nmaterial, finan
cial, nsral, educational and religious
interests of the people.
We, therefore, earnestly fravor and
will work for the enactment of such
laws as will prohibit the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors for use
as a beverage in our State.
We cordially invite the co-tiperat ion
of all Democrats in this laudable effort
for State prohibition, - irrespective of
their opinion on other issues as already
made up in this State.
Respectfully suomaitted,.

The really . , nd complicated fight
came on the address, and the conven
tion got itself into such a tangle that
the whole matter had to be referred
back to the two committees in hope of
settling the very troutled tempnerance
waters.
Mr. S. A. Nettles, who is the father
of the box scheme, found himself in
such an awkward position that he re
tired from the covention, alleging that
he considered his Democracy para
mount to his prohibition, and because
of the convention not endorsing his
pledges to the Irby executive commit
tee, and alleging that he had absolute
ly no authority to speak~ for the Prohi
tion ists.
he address, whiebh ke'pt the conven
on in a tangie for two hours, is ais foi
ows:
- ADDR)ESS Tio TilE P'E;PLE (OF THE~
The Prohibitiomsts of Sout h Carolina,
in convention assembled, aclknowledg
ing Almighty God as the source of all
power in government, do ihereby in thne
name of God and h menanity usu to
the people of South Carolina this ad
d ress: The liquor tra tlie, as now fostered
en trenched by long usage and tolerated
beyond the bounds o'f endurance, im
posing enormous, avoidable and econo

scriptural in principal mnd contrary tc

Therefore, we appeal to the peoph
who have the inalienable right of gov

of righteous governmeut in the State tt
use every eflort for the ptrohiiion o
this traffic in this State. We recommient
that the people demand that all candi
date for the H-ouse and Senate b4
placed on record upon this question,
and that no man shall receive the vote
of the Prohibitionists who refuses to
announce his position on the question
of prohibition.
Respectfully submitted,
F. C. LECHNER, J. M. STEADMAN,
L. D. CIIILDS, J. T. MOFFATT,
D. H. WITH ERSPOON.J. R. FULMER.
Thr: clause causing all of the trouble
is, that recommending that all candi
dates for the Legislature be placed on
record on the prohibition question and
refus:ng support to these not expressing
in favor of prohibition.
Mr. S. A. Nettles and Librarin Moor
man led the fight against the last sec
tion of the address, and said it ought
not to be passed, as it was inconsiatent.
Mr. Moorman made quite an eloquent
speech and wanted to keep the entire
matter out of direct politics as much as
possible. Mr. Nettles insisted that in
justice to the representrtions made by
himself to the executive committee and
accepted by the convention it could not
be adopted. It was the only way of
reaching the opinion of the people and
when it came to voting for respective
candidates personal relationship would
count for very much and the bo- idea
was the only practicable one.
The Rev. Mr. Tolson made a strong
argument in favor of the address as it
stood.
The Rev. Mr. Chreitzberg said prohi
bitioa lacked backbone, and he wanted
a fight made all along the line. He
afterwards said Mr. Nettles had no
auth,rity whatever to make any prom
ises to the executive committee on be
half of the Prohibitionists.
After considerable more ministerial
and promiscuous debate the address, as
it stood, was adopted, pledging candi
dates and <dl.
Mr. Nettles then wanted to get out
his box scheme, in which he promised
that candidates would not be catechised.
Lost by a vote of 35 to 30.
Mr. Nettles then withdrew from the
convention, after saying that he con
sidered his promises to the Democratic
executive committee first of all. Then
there was a wrangle, which would
hardly have been expected in a Prohi
bition Convention.
The Rev. Messrs Moffatt, Elwell,
Chrietzberg, Tolston, Moorman, Hayne
and a score of others took part in a
ceaseless debate, and it was finally de
cided that the only way to settle the
inconsistencies of the box idea of the
Nettles resolution and the clause in the
address pledging candidates was to re
commit the entire matter to the joint
committee, and there it went at 1.1.5
a. m.
The joint peace committee offered as
a compromise a resolution requesting
the State executive committee to give a
seperate box at the August primaries,
at which prohibition and a no prohibi
tion vote will be cast. The address was
substantially reported as originally
agreed upon with the exception that
the last clause read:
"We recommend that the people de
mand that all candidates for the House
and Senate place themselves on record
on this question to the end that the
prohibition vote of the county may be
intelligently cast."
The report was unanimously adopted.
The following executive committee was
elected: Richland, L. D. Childs; Abbe
ville, R. S. Galloway; Anderson, Dr.
S. Lander; Barnwell, the Rev. J. L.
Sifley; Berkeley, Peter Klintworth,

A TORNi~ADO IN OFANGEBURG.
Church steeple Blown Down-several
Buildings Injured-Orie Colored Wo
man Frightened to*Death.
[Special to News and Courier.]
OR ANGEBURG, May 29.-The severest
wind, rain and hail storm that ever
visited this city occurred here this after
noon at about 5 o'clock just at the hour
when the streets were filled with per-'
sons on their way to church, and a few
birds were singing as the children weie
either going to or had assembled in the
various churches.
The damage was very heavy, houses,i
fence.i and trees being blown down.
The Court House square was filled with
limbs torn from the beautiful oaks that
ornarient that classical spot, while the
streets in many places are strewn with
similar debris. The steeple of the
Methodist Church was blown down and
completely wrecked, and the church
itself was inundated with water coming
through the roof whence the steeple had
been torn, and the building was other
wise seriously damaged. The front
window of the steeple at the Baptist
Church was blown in and that edifice
was somewhat injured. The hotel was
badly damaged by water coming
through the shingles. A tree fell across
the residence of Mr. H. Fenchel, in
Russell street, demolishing his beauti
ful -serauda. Another tree in its fall
turned over Mrs. Flake's kitchen, in
the vicinity of the jail.
A similar catastrophe, befel the com
modious residence of Policeman Ed
ward Williams, and a building on the
premises of Mr. S. G. Palmer was
wrecked, and trees were blown down
upon the houses of Messrs Bolivar and
Josie in Market street.
The skylight at Mr. T. Kohn's store
in Rtossell street wvas broken in by the
fall of a Pride of India tree which was
lowa from an adjoining lot.
Only one casualty so far has been
heard from, that of an old colored wo
man, named Elsie Palmer, who died
from fright while sitting in the colored
Methodist church. The storm was of
short duration, but the wind wvas very
terriUc while it lasted.
THE CHURtCH IN POLITICS.
The Germlan Lutherans of IHlinois Advised
by thle synod to Vote the Demo
crat ic Ticket.
Cr~icAVuo, Ill., May 2.-If there was
anv e.xpectation heretofore that at least
apart of the German Lutherans of this
S tate' would support the State Rlepubli
cn ticket this year as they have in the
past years it was dispelled to-day by
the acto jnof the Lutheran Synod in
s esin at Galena, which passed a re
souton advising all Lutherans to sun
port the D)emocratic ticket.
This means that about twenty-five
tousand Lutherans will vote the De
moratic ticket, all of whom have
alas voted the Republican ticket,
and flooms the Republican State ticket
to defeat.
Governor Fifer's plurality in 1888 was
14,00 with all the Lutherans voting
for him. It is more than probable that
the Lutherans will, as a rule, vote the
Naional Democratic ticket also, which
fat places Illinois in a doubtful column.

ABOUT I'ISTOLS.
The correspondent of the A ugust
Chronicle who described the convei
tion at Columbia last week says the
during the speech of John Gary Evan
"Col. Haskell was greatly excited, bt
did not flinch," and "that he had hi
siHgle hand upon his pistol."
John C. Haskell must have thougl:
the emergency very critical to atten
a convention of the people with a pi
tol in his pocket. He has been i
many hot places in his life, and alwa3
bore himself with gallantry, and L
must have felt it was a desperate er
terprise to arraign the present I)em<
cratic administration when he put h:
"shooting irons" in his hip pocket.
Col. Haskell set a bad example 1
younger men. He is the last man i
the range of our acquaiuta:me '
would have suspected of carrying
concealed weapon.--Abbeville M
dium.
The editor of The Herald and Neu
was within a few feet of Col. Haske
during the delivery of that speech an
saw no pistol and no attempt on Co
Haskell's part to draw a pistol. I
faet there was no need for hint to ha%
a pistol or to use one on that occasiot
But everybody knows that everyor
who wautto carries a pistol, and tli
law in reality is a dead letter.
But it is a littte.n bad grace for tb
Medium to be ma'-igg an ado abot
pistols when its own i1oS Senator Irb3
was in New berry braggin -n his pi:
tol, and of course we presuthad
in his pocket during the conventtim
The Herald and News said nothin
about it because it is known to ever3
one who wants to know it that ever3
one who desires carries a pistol, and w
see uo use in making a great ado abot
Senator Irby's pistol unless you at
going to intercept everyone else wb
violates the law; and if you do the
you will soon have to employ an add
tional force of constables.
The law should be enforced, we grat
you, but it will never be until there is
healthy public sentiment in its favo:
But we would advise the Medium t
clean out its own baru before it undei
takes to kill the rats in its neighbor':
PREACHING AND PRACTICE.
We publish elsewhere an editori:
from the Register which we tak
pleasure in commending in the mair
"Let us have peace" has been th
doctrine The Herald and News ha
been trying to teach for a long tim(
"Let personalities and abuse alone" i
good advice, and of course should b
followed in a political campaign. I
oes no good anyway at any time.
The Democratic party sliould carr;
n its internal battles in a friendly an<
pleasant way without bitternes c
abuse, so that when they ar_e over;
~olid front could be presented to th
ommon enemy.
We must, however, demur to th
first sentence of the editorial. Th
Democratic p)arty in South Carolin:
as not yet adopted a platform. I
ould not under the constitution ani
ules of the party. It has passed resc
lutions pledging to abide by the nomr
nations-State and national.. This i
ll very good, and we hope preclude
Third party.
But that is not the point we ar
after in this editorial. The Registe
pretends to advocate the pitching c
be campaign on a high plane, an<
vrites a very sensible editorial on tha
ine, but does not practice what
preaches. Now if the Register wil
ust practice what it preaches therl
an be but little trouble to discover it
tor the contrast with its former sel
will be so great no one can fail to ob2
ierve it.
We would be glad to see the Registe
nake the experiment. Practice wha
ou preach. Let us have peace and
~ampaign pitched on a high plane
free from abuse and personalities an<
iud slinging. Let our newspaper dis
~ussions be conducted in the same way
Let there be less effort to infiame tha
assions and arouse the prejudices c
he people. The candidates shoul<
5tand on their merits and discuss th,
ssues and let personalities alone.
ONE FOR CLEVELAND.
It seems that, after all, South Caro
ina is to have one Cleveland delegat
in the National Convention. Even 1
Lhe face of the denunciatory resolution
Lhere will be one vote at Chicago fron
south Carolina for Cleveland. In~ ai
nterview with Mr. Theo. P. Jervey
Jr., of Charleston, one of the delegates
me of the delegates, he is quoted a
;ayimg:
"I favor Cleveland, for he has give>
the Democratic party a well define<
policy, and has, apparently, preferret
that policy to the retention of his oflice
f there is any change to be mnadle
the policy of the party tariff reforri
ught certainly to come wit h the finan
i matters. I believe Cleveland is
typical .American, and a man wh
ould control the greatest numbIer
the Independent votes of the Nort1
and East, and he is the best candidat
that can be put forward by the Demc
cratic party."
Brther WVilson of the Press an,

in his make up than we suspected

ONE OF TUE PLANKS.
One of the planks in the Ocala plat
form demands that the government
become the owner of railroads, etc.
The Press and Banner has discovered
some old crank over in North Carolina
who comes forward with some serious
Objections to this scheme. The plan of
our present administration has been to
make the railroads pay a big share of
the taxes. Now here comes this North
Carolina crank and shows how the
adoption of this plank will relieve the
railroads of all taxes. We wonder if
our friends of the Alliance had ever
t thought of this before. Here is what
s the Press and Banner says:
t "It seems that some old fool will al
ways urge objection to any good propo
i sit.ion which twe Alliance makes.
d "The railroad wreckers in South
Carolina are trying to confiscate the
railroads for State, county and school
taxes, but there are a few people in the
Third party or Alliance ranks who
want the government to own the rail
roads.
i "A North Carolina gold bug and
plutocrat, being opposed to the people
and friendly to the corporations, makes
o the following idiotic objection to placing
the railroads into the hands of the
e guverniment. When the government
a owns the railroads, as demanded by
the Third party people, no taxes will
be collected by them.
s "Had you thought of that?
11 "If not, just stop and think for a
d moment. Of course everybody knows
that government property is not taxed
at all, and therefore when the railroads
n become the property of the govern
e went they will not be taxed. The
1. railroads now pay many millions of
dollars every year as taxes to the
States, counties and towns through
ie which they run. But when the gov
ernment owns them, no State, county
,e or town will get one cent of tax from
them.
"iN ow isn't this 'financial reform
r and relief' with a vengeance?
i- "In order to give relief to the farm
it ers, in order to lighten their taxes,
the Third party people propose to ex
empt the railroads from all taxation.
g Aud in order to do this Democrats are
urged,to desert and disrupt their old
party.
"Of course the more property that is
e exempt from taxation the higher must
it be the rate of taxation on the property
e that is taxed. AMd therefore when
o railroads are owne'--by the govern
ment and exempt fronr,axation, of
t course a higher rate must beslevied on
- land and personal property.
"What sort of relief will this"jive
t our people?"
That was a fine sight in a Northern
r. Methodist conference the other day.
0 A resolution was passed denouncing
r- the Southern courts and Southern peo
ple for hanging and lynching negroes.
These acts of justice are termed
"Southern outrages" at the North,
and these pi->us men would have us
believe that humanity and Christianity
e are the only motives behind these in
sane declarations.-Oconee News.
e And yet our Southern people are
joining in a resolution for Congress to
pay $500,000,000 to Union soldiers in
s addition to what has already been
e paid them. Are you in favor of that?
Congressman Geo. Johnstone made
a good hit in Congress last Wed nesday.
He seems to have been too much for
his Republican namesake from In
r diana. He was only allowed three
minutes, but he crowded a great deal
ein that space. Read his speech on an
other page. It met the commendation
eof his Democratic colleagues.
SThe Spartan puts a new list of ques
Stions to candidates-or rather, we be
Slieve, the questions come from the
voters of the Cross Roads Club. They
are interesting and to the point, and
we suggest that our candidates look
over them and be prepared to answer
them. They may be found on the
eouter page of The Herald and News.
fThe Prohibitionists in convention

Governor Tillman immediately sent
the following telegram to Solicitor
Schumpert:
0. L. Schumpert, Solicitor, New
berry, S. C.: Information received of
negro being lynched Friday night it
Sullivan Township, Laurens County.
Investigate at once and report. L. P.
Roper and Sidney Armstrong, Gray
Court, witnesses. Answer.
B. R. TILLMAN, Governor.
Solicitor Schumpert telegraphed tc
Governor Tillman this evening that he
would leave Newberry on the first
train to investigate the report of lynch
ing in Sullivan's township, Lauren
County.
The curious part of the thing h
that the trial justice who had charge
of the case has made no report of the
affair to Governor Tillman.
Merna Postoffice is very near Green.
ville County line, and but a short dis
tance from TumblingShoals.

To tie Editor of The Herald and

you desire to pay a poll tax of three
dollars instead of one dollar that you
now pay? Are you willing to take
two dollars' worth of bread these hard
times out of the mouths of yonr
wives and children and put it in the
State '"-- 'sury that Tillman and his
gang or .... 'lers may the more easily
feather their nest ? Mr. Tillman recom

you desire to do so, vote for Ttillman

down and out.
