After rolling and tumbling with the iver for the past several days, we are tot in very good fix for picking up hips, therefore they will be somewhat mited this w k. But we are no on the mend and we cknowledge our sincere thanks and raise, unto whom praise is due. There is and has been any amount f s:ekness in this section for the past ix weeks; scarcely a house has es aped, but we are glad to state up to his writing, that there has been none f a very serious nature. Rev. J. D. Bowles closed a series of 2eetings at Bachman chapel on Tues ay, the 17th inst. Rev. Bowles failed 3 secure help from his ministerial rethren, but he made every one of his Drmons so edifying and full of interest bat we do not think any one who at. ended felt the least disappointed: there ras a deep interest manifested through ut and we trust that a lasting bless 3g will follow this series of meet 2gs. The boll worm has damaged the cot an crop a good deal throughout this .ction, but we think that the recent ry, hot weather, while it has been in irious to the extent of causing the lant to shed, has been beneficial in topping the ravages of the worm. A great many people seem to be some rhat alarmed at what we must call nother Haskell movement, springing p in the Democratic ranks; but so ng as there are men among the con rvatives who show fhat they love ?hite supremacy above evervtbing Ise, as George B. Cromer, The Aerald ad News and several others have bown, we say don't be alarmed if the egro is in the wood-pile, he will be retty apt to stay there. Mr. FEditor, the letter of Capt. Jno. . Banks, in reviewing the situation of be Reform party in Newberry County, rhich appeared in your issue of the tb Instant, is worthy of much com aent If there ever was a trait In a man's fe which r ,.dmire, It is that to be, lain, hon'est and free. . This ls jist the 'lank that Capt. Banks stood upon uring his race thrbughout the whole ampaign: not a single thing did' he ry to.keep hid from the people, and ince his defeat he has shown that he rould rather fail with an honest pur ose than to rise carrying water on och shoulders. Capt. Banks has been staunch .R"former ever since the 2ovement has been on foot, and he as always stood to the front in the ottest of the fight like a stonewall. Ie has not- only been true to the Re >rm Movement, but as an Alliance aan he has been chosen lecturer of the sewberry County Alliance time after ime; and has gone about making peeches, both in and outof the county, nd neglecting, to a very great extent, is own farming interest to serve be people. Now, gentle reader, I rill appeal to the conscienceof any hon it and good thinking man or woman, rhere will you find another man bat will rise up under defeat and say i his friends, omie on and let us not e discouraged, let us rather continue advance under what we consider to e the banner of liberty, and go down iith it in the last ditch only when here are none to bear it aloft. I heartily congratulate you, Captain, pon your firmness. I have heard not few of pur oldest citizens compliment our letter to the very, highest; yes, his is the kind of a spirt I like to see i a man. Show to the country that is not altogether a political greed for little public pap that led you to the -ont.. The Conservatives have always ac used the Reformers of rings, boesism rganization and combination of all escriptions, but the elections always bow what side is the closest organized. t is an evident fact, if' it were not for he help of the Reformers the Conserv tives would not hold a single ofile in be county. It senms that a great majority of the teformers have their minds ony con entrated npon Tillman, and al they are to do is just take care of the men rhom they know would take care of 'illman and let all the rest of the little srudidates take care of themselves. wlile in Chicago, Mr. Charles L. Kahler, a romi'nent shoe merebiant of Des Moines, :,wa, had quite a serious time of it. He tookE acli a severe cold that he-could hdYtalk or avigate, but the prompt use of C ber uin' Cough Remedy cred him of his cold quickly that others at the hotel who had ad cold followed his example and half a ozen persons ordered it from the nearest ru~ store.

MAGNETIC resslon S ,Durham,in THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Meeting on Saturday-Newberry In Fa vor of Standing by Democratic Prin c1ples, But Opposed to Another State Ticket at This Time. The mass meeting of Democrats, as called by Mr. ThomasW. Carwile, met in the Courthouse here on Saturday last. There were about one hundred persons present, some, perhaps. only as spectators. Col. 0. L. Schumpert called the meet ing to order and nominated Col. J. C. S. Brown as chairman. He waselected. Mr. W. Aug. Shealy was elected seere tary. Col. Brown, on taking the chair, said this was the second time he had been called upon to preside over a con vention of Demo -rats, and he thanked the convention for th-) honor con ferred. This body of Democrats had come here to consider matters that would be for the good of the party and the State, and he considered and felt it an honor to be called upon to preside over their deliberations. He hoped they would go at the business In hand with earnestness and conservatism. We should organize and be Democrats and stand up to Democratic principles, and then t bose who do not think as we do will know where we are at. The secretary read the call as issued by Maj. Carwile. Senator Mower said that, in order to bring something- definite before the convention he would pffer the follow ing resolutions, which' were seconded by Maj. M. H. Gary: Be it resolved that it is.the sense of this meeting: 1. That such steps should be taken as will result in the organization of the Democratic party in strict alignment with sound Democratic doctrine as set out in the National Democratic plat form of 1892, and in keeping the State in the Democratic column In 1896. 2. That a State ticket should not be nominated. 3. Thate the convention called for the 17th should adjourn without taking any action in the premises to some day later than the 19th. 4. That delegates should be elected to the convention on the 17th in entire sympathy with these resolutions. 5. That the delegates elected under these resolutions are hereby instructed to withdraw from. the convention in the event nominations are determined upon. It was decided to take up the resolu tions seriatim. Dr. McIntosh said that he would like to have the resolutions modified. He was not in favor of binding the hands of the delegates to the extent of withdrawing from the convention in case nominations were determined upon. Prof. Evans said they only gave an expression of the sense of the meeting, and unless the last was adopted the delegates would not be bound. Dr. McIntosh: 1 It strikes me we are going Into a movement that we dont know much about, and when we send delegates they will be able to know more about the true situation than we are able to know here and now, and those delegates ought to be free toet ac co ding to their best judgment with the new lights that may be around them. My judgment is one way and the coanty convention is another way. We ought to send delegates and leave them free to decide for what Is best for the StaWe under the circumstances after they get to Columbia. Col. L. P. Miller: Ordinarily I would agree with Dr. McIntosh. This is one of the' meat'critical periods in the his tory of this State through which we are now passing. This movement in its logical sequence means an appeal to the negro- to settle our differences. Newberry is unalterably opposed to anything that looks like that. You know my history. Four years ago I was opposed to Mr. Tillman and his methods. The first speech Ilever made In Newberry County was in opposition to the farmers' movement for as I saw It, it was simply a first class movement to put second class men in first class positions and my position then In the light of subsequent events was almost prophetic. I want to be coDsistent and do thne best thing for So.uth Carolina, and the best thing f r the conservatIves to do who have indignities heaped upon them is to forbear. I told the editor of the News and Courier four years ago that the people of Newberry wanted to do right but as long as they were opposed and fought as they bad been, the "movement" was given the only cohesive power It ever had. I want to see the time when each can didate can- go before the people on his' Individual merit. I have always op. posed instructing delegates but this is a peculiar time. The conservative peo ple of my township begged me tocome here and make this protest for them. We can do nothing unless we can get hold of the conservative element in the Reform faction. This movement means that we are going to array the Reform ers so much the stronger against us. This movemebt originated In a confer ence held in the Interest of Senator Butler. He is my old officer and I have great affection for him, but above my. affection for him I hold the interests of South Carolina. Sometimes when In the heat of passion, after one indignity upon another has been heaped upon us, I feel like we ought td do something, but in calmer moments I feel that this movement is a mistake and our dele gates should be Instructed to opos nominations, and I hope the resolu tions will pass. Mr. Sale: It seems to me that the discussion will more properly come up on the last resolution. Dr, McIntosh: I think the discussion comes up on one as well as another. So far as the negro Is ooncerned, I am not thinking about the negro. So far as Senator Butler is concerned, I am standing up here representing myself and my propry Iam interested in my pocket. We have been standing up making a tight on side issues, and the time has come when we must fall in line with the National Democracy. There has been no better time to stand up for Democracy than the present. The National Democracy is the party of economy. We support our State government by a tax ef $1.00 per head. The general government costs $7.00. Who has heaped up this tax upon us? The party eupported by trusts and monopolies and combinations. Grover Cleveland, in spite of the abuse heaped upon him, has stood between us and Wall Street and the sugar trust, and he has managed to get a bill through Con gress-the tariff bill-which saves us money. In the matter of pensions, the last Congress was asked for $165,000,000 kiqt that did not quite meet the expedi tgme 4nd $1.5,00,000 more were ap propriated. When Hoke Smith came in wben the present administration came into offlee, this appropriation was cut down to $140,000,000. Ia aounts to about tti00,000 saving to- South Carolina. Cleveland and the Dem ocratic party have saved this State about this amount. We sholud forget these little divisions that have been thrust upon us in the last four years and we should stand up with the Miational Democratic party and fight Sr Democratic principles. Our dele tes should not be tied when they are pt to 'is convention in Columbia. & P. Miller; It was just for that ron, ds the speech I did. 4 at leDemocratic party we Idfme together. We must get iwa nd the only way we can hold Jcip rty is to get votes. I don't want Slegates to go down to Columbia sep up these dissensions. I am I. where Dr. Mcintosh is in my for Cleveland. As regards the ate object I am with Dr. Nc h; only I want to stop this foolish which keeps us apart. Col. George Johnistone: I came in as spectator and did not intend to take assy part. I doubt if the resolution is understood by the body. One Conven tion meets on the 17th and the other one meets on the 19th. Suppose the Convention of the 19th should affirm allegiance to the National Democratic platform and adopt a platform upon which every Democrat can stand. There is no difference among the people about standing upon the principles of Democracy. Suppose this convention should do this, would it be wise for any assembly of gentlemen to oppose that? The question is whether or not it is wise for us to forestall the conven tion of the 19th. If it should adopt the Republican platform, or anarchist, or communistic, principles of course no Democrats would go with them. The first four resolutions were then adopted. A STATE TICKEL NOT ADVISABLE. Mr. W. Y. Fair moved to table the fifth resolution. Mr. Geo. B. Cromer: As this is an advisory meeting, gentlemen should not cut off the discussion. Mr. J. W. Scott: I am in sympathy with the resolutions adopted. I have gone that far, but will go no further. If weare going to gag the men who goto Columbia, just lets send the resolutions down. Col. Miller intimated that this movement emanated from a candidate. I am not here in the interest of any candidate. Democracy is sbakjng and tiembling and needs repairs. Gentle men have intimated that we must not divide the white people. My God, if they are not divided now they can't be divided. I don't claim to belong to any party but the Democratic party. I don't come here asa Coaservativeor a Tillmanite, but as a South Carolinian. If we can do anything to solidify the white people, I will -lend my aid. I think we should elect delegates in sym pathy with the resolutions passed, but we should not adopt the fifth redolu tion. Mr. Cromer: Whileithe argument on tariff reform and the sound principles of Democracy all meet with my sympathy, we are not met here to engage in a tariff debate, or whether we are sound in the Democracy or not. I have been doing all I can ia my humble way for the last sixteen years to promote the principles of Democracy as I have seen them. I do not claim to have any greai amount of political sagacity and others here may think the same way. I have tried to look at the situa. tion in a quiet and calm way. This convention bhould send its delegates to Columbia to do what it wants done. Two conferenees have met in Columbia -two secretconferences-and Tne State paper says that every man but one at these conferences was in favor of nomi nating a State ticket. For the last four years we have not had free and untram meled Democracy in this State. Why should we reorganize the Democracy now. It reminds me of the boy who wanted to jump a ditch. He went back to get a good running start and by the time he got to the ditch he was so tired that he judhped right into it. When the question is not open let the dele a tes be instructed to do what you want one. You say that the Sheppard move ment brought over reform votes. Would anybody undettake to say that the Haskell movement has not been a handicap to us ever since 1890. Let your delegates go uninstructed and you will have projected a movement which cannot succeed. I am not here to dis cuss the grievances against Tillmanism, although we have enough of them. Looking matters squarely in the face, this movement will not only solidify Tillmanism. but it will divide the Con servatives. I do not believe that it will get 500 Conservative votes in Newberry County. Are you ready and willing to precipitate such a movement. There is only one way by which it can suc ceed, and that is to let the negro come in. The situation here is serious. If we let tbe negro elect the ticket, we put him between the two factions and they .will never come together again. I am not in favor of eight delegates going, down to Columbia and pledging the Democracy of this county to any such moivement. The fifth resolution was then adopf?ed with a few negative votes. Mr. Hunt moved tbat a committee of eleven be appointed to nominate eight delegates and four alternates. .The fol lowing committee was appointed: P. C. Smith, M. H. Gars , W. A. Chalmers, W. H. Hunt, L. P. Miller, B. T. Reagin, W. A. Shealy, H. S. N. Crosson, W. T. Tarrant, J. M. Suber, G. G. Sale, R. L. Whites. Dr. Mcintosh was appointed on the committee, but he said he could not serve as he did not approve of the reso lutions. DELEGATES ELECTrED.' The committee nominated the follow ing delegates and alternates and they were elected: Geo. 8. Mower, I. M. Smith, T. H. Chalmers, J. C. Wilson, G. B. Cromer, Thom pson Hunter,.John W. Scott, W. A. Shealy. Alternates: John M. Suber, C. 3. Purcell, M. J. Scott, 0.. Sale. Mr. Hunt moved that the delegation be empowered to fill vacancies, which was adonted. Mr. M. 3. Scott said he could not serve as an alternate, as he was nt in favor of the resolutions, but wanted a ticket nominated. Mr. M. H. Gary moved that the con vention elect some one else in Mr. Scott's p lace, which was adoptled. Mr. John W. Scott nominated E. H. Aull in place of M. J. Scott anid he was elected. The convention then adjourned. A car.
