(AA ELBERT EL AULL, I Proprietors W.. P. HOUSEAJ, ELBERT H. AULL. &IToJ. NO NOMINATIONS MADE. The convention of Democrats that was Ealled to meet in Columbia on Monday and to which Newberry sent delegates was held. The convention was called to con sider and in its wisdom deeide what was best to be done. One of the chief questions to be discussed was the one of nominating a State ticket to be voted for in opposition to the one to be nominated tolay by the State conven tion. On that 'i a News and Newberry County are on record. Our delegates had positive and direct instructions. A oonference was held before the con vention met to consult together and determine upon the best course to be pursued after getting the united wis dom of those wbo'were present. The convention was composed for the most part of earnest, patriotic men, who wanted only to subserve the best in terests of South Carolina.' After fully conferring and consulting it was decid ed not to make nominations at least for the present. The Herald and News is glad this de cision was reached. Our opinion is un changed that it would have been a great mistake to have nominated a State ticket and really we do not be lieve that any good practically will re t from holding'the convention at tbiStim. -et it is a fact that many good and true men from all parts of the State were heartily in favor of making a straight fight in the general election, and many of them quiet and deter mined men, who are not seeking office or political preferment. We sincerely trust that the conven tion which meets to-day will be m erate and temperate in tone, and as a Democratic convention, will do noth ing unDemocratic, so as to give excuse for another convention. This is a criti cal period in the history of this State, and great responsibility rests upon the organized Democratic party and the members of the convention to meet to day should be patriotic enough to -rise above prejudice and. factional divis ions and plant itself flatly and squarely upon Democratic principles. The Herald and News does not want to see another convention called,and we hope there will be no provocation for it. Our people have had enough of poli ties and conventions and we want to get to business. There is no sense in this continued strife. There is need to bear and forbear with one another. The conditions now are not similar to the conditions in 1876, and-ast white men and brethren who differ let us settle these differences. Much depends on the ,action of the State Convention which meets to-day. May it be coin posed of men of wisdom and patrio tismn and men who shall act as be comes South Carolinlans. -is one. precinct in Greenville rritsville, we beleive is the t at the foot of the Blue ave the conservative can ~ si '- -~lid, votd giving th'e oppon a one." That is a precinct o tye that we had more of them in Greenville County and the other counties as well. If the State Convention which meets to-day'will just adopt a Democratic platform and put the State Democracy in line with the National Democratic party all will be well. Otherwise we very much fear there is trouble ahead, and lots of it. The convention which meets to-day holds :the key to-political peace and quiet in this State, and we say this standing square against the holding of another convention and the nomination of another State ticket the one to be nominated to-day. It should not be considered' 'resumption .to hope and expect a Democratic con vention to adopt a Democratic plat form. The convention on Saturday did the wise thing in putting itself against Snominiations and it was the united wis dom of a majority of the delegates who assembled in Columbia on Monday that it would be unwise to nominate a State ticket. It was well that New berry sent delegates, for if those-coun ties that opposed nominations had-re mnained away, nominations would have been precipitated and a hupeless and useless fight been forced.upon us. 2ToRUN:FOB CONGRESS. H. H. Evans, of Niewbrr, Isues His Ad dres and Annonces His Candidacy for Congress from the Third District. To the People of the Third Congres sional District: In the- language of a .distinguished eitizen of the Unitedi States, "I am a Democrat," and as such I I offer myself to the voters of theS3rd1 Congressional District, as a candidate for a seat in the next Congress. From < my boyhood, all my sympathies and affliations-have been with the Demo- i cratic party, and I stand to-day square ly upon the platform of that party as adopted at Chicago in June, 1892. As a worker in the ranks, I have stood by I the party in its dark and gloomy days, taking my share, and some of my I friends say more than my share, of thei dangers and responsibilities, which be set us in the times when it meant 1 daager to proclaim one's-self a Demo- i crat. I have never sympathized witb 1 nor encouraged any of the i.sms which have spruing up, and which enemies of I the party, in the guise of friends, have I undertaken to engraft into the partys r platform, and I feel now the great im- I portance of this district being repre- a sented in Congress by a Democrat, t whose heart and principles are sound to the core. *. The only hope for the peace which a follows in the wake of prosperity is ( through the Democratic party. If our o people will rise up now, and place the t: standard of th'e party in the bands of r men loyal to the principles and true to y th_e pledges of the party, prosperity 14 will smile upon us. and peace will a reign in all our-hearts. a Believing-s I do, that the best and ti highest iAerests of the South is wrap- n ped up iry the success of the Democratic s party, w'hoem principles ar- 30 clearly ti enunciated in the Chicago dlatform, I a again proclaim myself a Democrat, a standing upon that platform, and pledep to the people of the Third district, my tj untiring efforts, and all the ability Ia possess, if thei me with their. suifrage and aseat i. ugrees.

[Special to News and Courier.1 CoLuxEIA, September 17.-The call )f the committee representing the "true" Democracy received a most tearty response from all parts of the State. Thirty-one of the counties in %he State sent representatives to the ')onvention to consult with their fel Low Democrats as to the best policy to be pursued In making a fight for what th d. Lhe true pri-iciples 01 mocracy. The Convention was a representative ne. There were men of all -lasses in it. Men who have at All times worked ind fought for the liberties of theirState. Ven who are in earnest, but who are willing to counsel with each other as to tbe beat policy to be pursued in the present crisis. A day or two ago it was thought best that those who were inclined to seek a restoration of the Democratle party in this State,-as conceived by the Carwile .Ommittee, should hold a preliminary onference at which all differences should be settled. It was thought best to borrow at least that much of their plans from their enemies and settle such. differences, disagreements and ontentions as there were behind closed doors. The differences should be set tied without publicity by a conference, at which the delegates would be at liberty to speak as they-felt regarding the chances of the tickets in their re spective counties. rHE CONFERENCE CALLED TO ORDEE At half-past 5 o'clock the conference was called to order by Chairman Car. wile. The delegates all attended and were bent upon business.. At the time Df meeting the delegates favoring nom. inations were in a majority, but they bad no disposition to force their opin. ions upon the Convention, and were inclined to have a free and liberal dis oussion as to the advisability of maX lug a straight ticzet. Such of the newspaper men as cared to attend the 'conference as citizens and pledge themselves not to divulge any of the conference proceedings were admitted, and on that account what was said cannot be divulged. What was done the correspondents were at liberty to publish, but to the hour ol 12.30 the conference had done nothing, absolutely nothing. TWENTY-FIVIE SPEECHS. There have been, fully 'twent-five speeches upon the Issues before the Convention, but up to this time there has nof been a single vote to indicate the disposition of the delegates. Natu. rally the most important question be. fore the conference is as to the advisa bility of making nominations of a State ticket. Other questions bave been dis enesed but not with the degree of tho. roughness that nominations have beem 3onsidered. At this Tlne it would take more than the average prophet to say what will be done. Just as a feeler I went out and saw ten or fifteen of the delegates and one of the most distinguished summed up the situation by saying, "thedevil himself cannot tell," anothei said "that it was most critical and ioubtful," others again were of the opinion that there was no question regarding the sentiment 6f the Con vention being favorable to nomina tions. It does really seem that a ma jority at this time is favorable to nom inations. But a very-encouraging and gratifying circumstance is that there is the fullest and freeest discussion o: the question. FULL AND FaEE DISCUFTSION. There has been no attempt at gag law and no five minute or any limit of debate has prevailed, and everyone who has anything to say has ien invited and is expressin-g his opinion upon the situation. There can hard ly be any objection to this. WHEECONSEBVATIVESCONGREGATEE The Jerome Hotel was the rendez vous of many of th% delegates to the Convention. Gen. Hagood and othere of the leading delegates were staying at the Jerome, and this must have been the inducement for the delegates to meander that way. Ther. were a great many of the delegates at Wright's, but by common consent the talking was :lone in the lobbies of the Jerome. At noon a glance at the- register of the hotel Jerome showed what class of men would attend the Convention. r'here.were: C. P. Quatlebaum and A. Smith, .of Horry; G*en. Johnson Ha goad, Col. Mike Brown, 3. E. Allen, J. A. Jenkins and C. Carroll Sims, of Barnwell; John M. Waddill, of Dar lington; B Porcher Smith, C. St. G. inkler, of Berkeley; Edwin flarper, >f Harper; W. D. Gamble, of Mayes rille; Dr. G.~ E. Sparkman, of George. town; W. E. Netties, of Lake City; C. L. Benbow, of Clarendon: J. B. Steele md M. W,. Pyatt, of Georgretown; E. B. Plowden, Jr., of.Clarenaden;S. M1. Haynsworth, of Forreston. These were on the register of one hot'?. The lelegates from the Pee Dee sectuon we-e inatered at Wright's. Besides these were a number of others who were ini he city as interested spectators. First and foremost was Gen. M. C. Butler, whose room was frequently visited by the delegates- present,-and who received, many kind words. Mr. iohn 3. Dlargan, of Sumter, was here mnd was in for a fight. He seemed to bhiak that Sumter County wou-ld be in ine at the proper time If the flgbt is made. -4EEKEuE- RERi>Y FoEiA FIGJET. The Berkeley 4elegation was undo 3lded during the u as tikwhat course i.ad better be pursued by the Conven ion. Some of them wanted~-to see 2ominations made, while others were >f .the opinion that nothing ought to e done at this time and that mature leliberation should be had before any hing was decided upon. 'The delegates eemed to think that with a good fight he county could be carried against the 'Reform" movement. It was their pinion tliat a State ticket would help Llong a county ticket if one were nom nated, and that, on the other hand, a ~ounty ticket would help along 'the state ticket if put in the field. The Aiken delegation was on the bied early. It was one of the strong et here and was active against making tominations, on the ground that It vould be inexpedient at this juncture. 'hey, however, would have liked to tave had a fight earlier in the game ust to show what they could do at the iome of John Gary Evans. The Chester delegatiou came in ou the ioon train all ready and enthusiastic :>r nominations. If nominations are sade their ticket will be Theodore G. larker, of Charleston, for Governor nd W. A. Love, of Chester, for Lieu enant Governor. NAMES SUGESTED FOR GOVERNOR. During the morning, and before nyone had any idea of whether the 'onvention would make nominations r not, there was a good deal of specula ou upon the candidate who would be in for Governor In case nominations rere decided upon. That was an entirely ~gitimate question for discussion before oy thing was done by the Covention, though the Convention may.change se entire programme. During the iorning the name of Jos. B. Walker, of partan burg, was prominently men oned. He is a successful business sd mill man of Spartanburg and one ho has the confidence of the entire iople. He h as been mayor of the ariving city of S nburg, and is id to be a succssul executive officer. DABGAN, OF DA RLTNGTON. fCe- Pee-Des section thought that -Dargan, of Darlington, was the ;as ek. -- and Ohio Raji- Wh o , his earlest acts ErnQ,ortio the a OOO~~ by a man to head the ticket in case nomina tions were made, but that they were not wedded to any one man, but would give their hearty support to whoever got the nomination. Florence and Darlington seemed to be anxious for the fight to be made and appear to be con fident of the success of the ticket if run. WALLACE, SCHUMPERT AND LAWTON. Solicitor Schumpert, of Newberry, and Judge Wallace's names were men tioned by a number of the delegates. It was claimed by their admirers that either of them would make a fine and aggressive fight it the orders were given to go ahead with the contest. he nane of -Col. Lawton, of Hamp ton, was also mentioned as a good candidate, coming directly from the HUDSON, COKER AND HAGOOD. The names of Judge Hudson, Col. Coker and Ex-Governor Johnson Ha good were frequently mentioned during the day as good men to head the ticket with. CHBERLESTON AGAINST NOMINATIONS. The Charleston delegation was as free as the air. It came without in structions and went around, with its ears and eyes open, to see what-was the outlook. Gen. McCrady was at the head of the delegation, and it is an nounced that he is unalterably opposed to nominations at this time. The delegation is free to conviction, but, with the lights before it prior to the conference being held, thought that it was best not to make nominations. Mr. Fishburne, of the delegation, is said to be inclined to making nominations if there is any prospect of electing the ticket put out in the field. The Orangeburg delegation so -far as could be learn, d was !diametrically opposed to making nominations, and some of the delegates from that county say that they came here for the sole purpose of opposing nominations being made at this time. REPORTER PRICE AND HIS TEMPORARY PERCH. Perhaps one of the most interesting incidents of the preliminary caucus was the discovery and ejection of the enterprising reporter of the Register. When the caucus was called to order at 5.30 it was desired that there should be a free conference among the delegates. The call announced that fact, and those reporters who asked for admission were unceremoniously allowed to listen to the proceedings, but Mr. Price thought he would run his own news paper camp aign. Some of the delegates anticipated such a move and a com mittee of investigation went to work. The first place visited was the foot of the hall of the House of Representatives. There some unknown man was found, but the committee was not satisfied that this was the only man on the lookout. While in search for some one else one of the committee broke a bele through be ceiling of the hall and had a narrow. escape from failing to the floor. The committee kept up its search, and after awhile found Mr. Price perched upon the roof trying to cover the trap door. It remains to be seen whether the Register's efforts were of any avail. The discovery was made before the Conven tion had organized. That is the way of the reporter. NOMINATIONS POSTPONED. After considerable debate at 2 o'clock a resolution was introduced which solved the problem satisfactorily, and after several fine speeches, by a vote of 120 to 104, nominations for State offices were postponed but not abandoned, the sense of the meeting being to await certain developments. The vote upon the question of nominations was as fol lows: FOR NOMINATIONS, 104. Anderson 8, Baruwell 6, Beaufort 8, Chester 8, Chesterfield 2,- Clarendon 2, Darlington 6, Edgefield 2, Fairfield 87 Florence 2, Greenville 5, Hampton 1, Horry 2, Lancaster 6, Laurens 2, Lex ington 6, Marlboro 1, Oconee 6, Orange burg 2, Pickens2, Richland 9, Sumter 1, Union 2, Williamsburg 4, York 9. Total 104. AGAINST NOMINATIONS, 120. Aiken 8, Anderson 1, Barnwell 6, Berkeley 8, Charleston 7,- Clarendon 6, Darlington 2, Edgefield 8, Florence 5, Georgetown 4; Greenville 4, Ham pton 1, Horry 3, Laurens 5, Marion 4, New berry 8, Orangeburg 1o, Pickens 3, Richland I, spartanburg 14, Union 6, York 1. Total 120. THE RESULT SATISFACTORY. It would be very interesting to give the world what made the turn in the tide, but that will be developed later and be satisfactory to all. As it is the result of the caucus is entirely satisfac tory to everyone. TH E CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER. At S o'clock the caucus adjourned and the regular true blue Convention met. Upon motion Gen. Johnson Hagood was selected as chairman of the regular Convention. He thanked the Conven tion for the honor and remarked that as it was very late there was no use for speaking.' Just as soon as the Convention was organized Chairman Carwile, of the conference, took tbe floor and proposed to the Convention the resolutions that had solved the problem for the Conven tion. They were not read in Conven tion, but were given the press. They are as follows: MAJOR CARWILE'S RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, men prominent in the affairs of the State, claiming to be De mocrats, seine of whom are now seeking nomination for high offices as Demo crats, have deelared themselves bound by the principles announced at a Con vention held at Ocala in the State of Florida on the 3d day of 'Decemnber, 1890, as paramount to all other political principles whatsoever, which principles areicentralizing in their tendency antI opposed to those of the Democratic party: And whereas, othersso now claiming to be Democrats have allied themselves with members of-a new party styled the Populist party, and have declared themselves ready to abandon the Demo cratic party whenever an opportunity favorable to the success of the so-called Populist party shall present itself; And whereas, under such circumi stances it becomes the duty of the De mocratic pry in this State, through its officia representatives in Conven tion assembled, explicitly to declare its position in regard to these disturbing infiuences: Resolved, That this Convention, com posed of loyal Democrats from all parts of tL'e State, demands of the Conven tion to assemble on the 19th instant, under the call -f the executive commit tee of the Democratic party of the State as heretofore organized, explicitly to declare the true and loyal allegiance of the whole Democratic party of the State of South Carolina to the princi p lee and organization of the National Democratic party, and to repudiate and rescind the action of the State Con vention of 1892 adopting the Ocala plat form as that of the Democratic party of this State. 2. That this Convention also de mands of the said State Convention to be held ion the 19th inst. to nominate no one to office who is not in full accord with the principles of the National Democracy, nor one who acknowledges allegiance to the said Ocala platform or the principles of the Populist party. 3. That the nomination by the Con vention on the 19th instant of any can -didate for any office at the hands of the Democratic party -holding allegiance to any other thaan the Democratic princi ples and policy shall absolve all mem bers of the Democratic party in the State from obligation to support such nominees at the general election, whether or not they participated in the recent primary election. 4. That an executive committee, con sisting of one memiser ,fromn each coun ty be appointed'by the respective dele I, gations, which committee shall be charged with the duty of the better organization of the Democratic party, and the presentation of the foregoing resolutions to the Convention which meets in Columbia on the 19th inst, and with recalling this Convention at such time as they see fit prior to the 1st Of %jetober. TH' EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Upon the adoption of the resolution the executive committee provided f&r was selected. The various delegations named the following committeemen: Aiken, A. P. Butler; Anderson, M. P. Tribble; Barnwell, Mike Brown; Beaufort, H.W. Richardson; Berkeley, S. P. Smith; Charleston, F. C. Fish burne; Chester, T. B. Woods; Chester field, W. F. Stevenson; Clarendon, E. B. Hodge; Darlington, W. C. Coker; Edgefield, W. S. Allen; Fairfield, Gen. John Bratton; Florence, J. B. C. Wright; Georgetown, J. B. Steele; Greenville, S. A. Townes; Hampton, W. E. Martin; Horry, C. P. Quattle baum;' Kershaw, - ; Lancaster, John C. McDow; Laurens, W. L. Gray; Lexington, C. S. Bradford; Marion, J. W. Johnson; Marlboro, D. C. Roper; Newberry, Geo. S. Mower; Oconee, GeoWPratt;Orangeburg,u.M.DAutzler; Pickens, R. G. Gaines; Richland, John G. Capers; Spartan burg, J. L. Carson; Sumter, J. C. Singleton; Union, L. J. Browning; Williamsburg, N. T. Hurst; York, G. W. S. Hart. The vacancies will be filled in a few days. THE CONVENTION ADJOURNS. As there was nothing more to be done at 3.15 a. m., the Convention adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. The actual Convention did not sit for over a quarter of ao hour and was a model for a harmonious con vention. Indeed, the whole thing was done in the most decent and sober manner. The division as to the advisability of making nominations at this time was sharp, and not until the vote had fairly progressed did many of the delegates see that the prevailing idea of the evening would be defeated. To two speeches especially, as well as to the aracter of the resolutions, which by he way were from Charleston, was the turn in the tide brought about. It was a complete surprise to many, but no one is sore about it. There was a greaj deal of earnestness about the Convention, and when the banner is raised, if at all, there will be a gallant and loyal army to march under its folds. There is no question about that. When the next Convention is held it is hoped every county will be represented. During the Convention Editor Williams introduced, but sub sequently withdrew, a resolution re garding the Constitutional Convention. Most of the delegates returned to their homes on the early morning rains. A. K. A Trip to the Springs. To the Editoi of The Herald and News: I feel like I want to give you a short history of my trip to West Springs and Glenn Springs, which was brief but very delightful. West Springs is good water and certainly did my wife a great deal of good. She improved rapidly. We used both waters more or less. We left West Springs last Friday, the 14th, with the understanding that we spend the day and night with our nephew Petis D. Boyd, who lives near Cross Keys, on our way home. On ae count of late start and rough road it was after 12 o'clock when we drove up to his house.. He was there waiting and watching for us; he met us with a broad and hospitable smile; helped me unharness and then* turned my stock into stall with the troughs loaded with corn and racks- filled with fodder; then to the house, and after a kiss of greet ing, an hour's rest, we were invited to the table, which was loaded with good tbings, such as kid, hashed~and baked, fried chicken, rice, vegetables, honey, pies, and milk and butter. "Pet" knew I was fond of kid as his 'wife prepared it, so he dressed one for my special benefit. Now, you may guess how we indulged ourselves with the dinner after drinking the West and Glenn's water about two weeks. Well, after I stopped eating; I said to C--, "You need not have any supper for me." From the table we repaired to the parlor, and now for conversation about the past and present, the loved-ones liv ing and the loved ones dead, and those who still live In our county and those gone West. In the cool of the evening we viewed. his ' little farm, stock, etc. The farm whea he settled on it three years ago was an old field uncultivated; it now has a fine crop of corn on it. He gathered a good crop of oats, has pota toes and an abundance of vegetables, pumpkins not excepted, and three large hogs that will make by fattening 1,000lbs of pork, seven nice shoats, two of which he intends to fatten for kill Ls,but not least, my attention was directed to his old milch cow, which has gone with him to all the circuits he has served, four years on Clinton circuit, four at Jonesville, and this is the third year at Cross Keys. He said this cow had given him from two to three gallons of milk per day for more than ten years. I want to make a rea sonable estimate of her value. Milking her 250 days per year,and over 10 years, two gallons per day, would amount to 5,000 gallons of milk, besides the hun dreds of pounds of butter. He has sold about $100 worth of heifers and beef, and now has two Lilce heifers, one with a young calf. He thinks he can sell them at $25 each. She surely has been a valuable cow and is still good-look ing. Well, I am glad to say that my noble. hearted Christian nephew Is very pop ular and successful in adding numbers to the churcp; all denominations speak well of him; he has built~ new churches and added hundreds to the church. He stays for years on his circuits an~d then' his people are loath to give him up. Well, Saturday we left for home, 35 miles distant, accompanied by Mrs. Re becca Paysinger and Mrs. Wicker. We found our family well and affairs in good condition, for which we feel thankful to our Heavenly Father. Tuos. V. WKCKER. Notes- froma ExcesIaor. Uncle George Counts, Sr., is spend ing several days with his son, Mr. J. C. Counts and family. Rev. Jas. , Kinard has returned home after a two weeks stay in Col umbia.

Mrs. Tinia Smith, of Edgefld has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. .I. C. Griffin and family of fthis community. So far we have had very few cages of fever in this section. Mrs. Tr. L. Wheeler's little son Keister, has been quite siek but improving again. We are told the trustees of Excelsior school will hold a meeting soon to elect a teacher for the next scholastic year. Cotton is opening rapidly and fine weather for gathering it out of the fields. So far we have heard little or no complaint in this,.community as to the boll worms. John Barre, colored, gave th'e ne groes a big barbecue down heres on Saturday. The negroes seemed td en loy the occasion and were ready; to gather in at the beating of a drum and divideItheir week's labor with Jonnie. Prof. J. S.

BRECKINRIDGE DEFEATED, rhe Hot Contest In the Kentucky Congress District Ends fn the Election of Owens- 3 LEXINGTON, September 15.--Tbe campaign between morality and licen tiousness is fought out and the result is still in doubt-both Breekinridge and Owens claiming the victory-while the followers of Settle,who wasted their bal lots, look on in grim silence. The in dications, however, are that Owens has won. The returns at 11 o'clock show a plurality of 470 in tLe counties so far as heard from. There are .the wildest rumors afloat concerning the vote of the missing pre cincts, and all rmninner of chargesof fraud are made. Communication was cut oft temporarily with Owens and Henry counties and immediately the cry went forth that tbe Owens men were cooking the returns. However, this may be, there is now little doubt that Owens is nominated by a aft majority. OWENS MEN JUBILANT. FRANKFORT. KY., Septemb*r 16. During the night and far Into the early hours of Sunday the friends of W. (. Owens here exhibit* d theirentbusiasm, shooting off fire-works and parading. Main street was lined with old and young, celebrating the victory. To-day everywhere there was anxiety to know the exact result. The people generally regard Owens as the rightful nominee and ould the district committee, wbi-h hafa ajoli ty for Breekiuridge, declare their tavo rite the nominee, a split is certain. BRECKINRIDGE WILL CONTEST. LEXINGTON, Ky., September 16. Breckinridge's managers claim Owen's plurality on the face of the returnsI Dnly 165 and say tbey will contest and have the election declared for Breekin ridge.
