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,. J. S. MOFFATT, J. C. L ECHNER, D) H WITHERSen:,, J. M. SEADMAN, J. R.-FULLER, L. D). CHIILDS. 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 mie burdens upon individuals, famuiliea and the State: 'the mother cause 01 poverty, and crime; the nuck us for impurity, anarchy and death, is in either high or low license, which is tin scriptural in principal mnd contrary tc good government, and shouhi be utter ly prohibited by law. Therefore, we appeal to the peoph who have the inalienable right of gov emrnent and who have the right to be heard in all meastures airetin:t then sr.-ially, morally, finaneially and politi ca''y, but wiho have nor heretofore fuIll e-:ercised this right in this question, t< .ome to our aid. We call upon al!liovers 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, Chester, P. N. Berry; Clarendon, S. A; Nettles; Darltngton, G. T. Gresham; Florence, John McSween; Hampton, the Rtev. W. H. Dowling; Lancaster, the Rev. G. M.

Upon motion a quorum of the execu tive committee will consist of five memn hers. The committee will have the --bt tolappoint two auxiliary members The un e nted counties will be The executive committee will at once appoint exced'.ive co:nmittees.

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. S-outhl Carolina. Indiana, Ohio and Alabama held Prohibition conven-I tions~ on the same day last week. ELB3ERT H. AuLL, EDITOR. NE WBERR Y. S. C. ELBERT 11. AULL, -rrictors. WMP. i USiAL, r ~ WEDNESDH, JL E 1. 1'. 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, Banner hats g:ot more of the sarcasti in his make up than we suspected e says the State Convention wva iereict ini its dluty. It should havy leiiveredl ano)ther resolution or t wo or he grievances of the Ev'ening Demc rat, that tries to pose as being perse uted by the Conservatives bieaus ue of its former printers tried to nmak the Demcrat pay him for his service Brother Wilson submits that it is great outrage to make a Tiihnianit rga~ pay its just debts, and suec things should not be tolerated for a instant. We invite you to read whai Brother Wilson says on this subject. Senator David B. Hill, of New Yor made it convenient to be absent fror the Senate the other day when tl vote was Laken on the free silver bil WVonder where Mr. Hill stands on th question! Will some of his free silvi advocates in South Carolina please te us? You would never have foun Grover Cleveland being absent wvhe an important issue was to be vote upon. He does not dodge, and w lov him fr- his manliness 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 Ilast week did not seem to be entireiy satisfied with the plan offered by the tExecutive Committee. Chairman Irby : will have to devise another dodge. 2These Prohibitionists seem to be in earnest. -The State campaign opens at Dar lington on the 7th of June. The meet ing will not be held at Newberry until tAugust 18. SThe National Democratic Convention will meet at Chicago on Tuesday, June 21. It looks now as if Grover Cleve land will be nominated on the first ballot. SSAVED MY LIF'E Would Have Scratched Myself to Death but for Cuticura. Best Doctors - Two Years. Bills $125.
