The temporary >rganization wias made pormanent. Tho delegates were then onirolh 1. Twenty live counties were repri -eantod and fifteen had no representalon0. Colonel Hoyt re. -I an address ar raigning the dispeisary lawv. He re garded the time as opportune for the prohibitionists to 'ict. The advisa bility of having t he addro-s pub lished evoked much discussion. Mr. Featherstone was opposed to publishing the add ess Unless mo~di fled, lie regardedl the charges as too strongly stated. Mr. Brunson, to tost the sense of the convention, i,oved to suggest candidates for gove.rnor and lieu ten ant governor. Mr. Hane moved to amend by in cluding all State ollicials. Mr. Jones, of Newberry, said the constitution, article' (, prohilbited the nomination of any candidates. Hoe belheved the exec:utive committee would rule the prohibition candidates out and not count their votes. He was opposed to any nominations. Such a convention in his opinion was undemocratic and unawiso. He was a prohibitionist and wvould vote for no an who y, did not espouse their cause. Mi-. Smith was in. favor of nomina -tions. There was nothing in the ~onstitutiOn of thI dlemocrat ic party h ibiting such ae' ion. T1he section erred only to thi nominees in the ;>cratie primary. o convention, on motion of Mr. on, agreed to suggest candi 'for governor, lieutenant gover d attorney general .only.

That compoteney, honesty and sobriety are indispensablo qualifica tions for holding oflico. "2. The tOxes should be made as low as possiblo consistent with the efficiency of the government. "3. That tho sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes is not a function of government but a dis graco to Christian civilization, a dis honor to manhood, a political wrong of unparalleled enormity; that it is an awful crime against the women and children, against the home, against the church and against God. "4. That prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors as beverago purposes is the true consistent rem edy, and to this end we demand that the dispensary systm he shorn of its evils, such as solling intoxicants as a bevorago, and that authority be giv. on by t he general assembly for t he S!ate to sell alcoholic liquors o1N,y for medical, mechanical and sacra montal pur.oses. THmE NOMINATIONS. Mr. C. C. FeatIherstone wa ilaCOd in nomination for Govern- -, but do cdined. When he made the State mont, he said, a few datys ago that lie wvas not a candidate, it was nmade in sincerity and not for the purpose testing his strength in this confer ence. Col. Hoyt was placed in nomina tion, but asked that his name be wvit hdraw~n. At the instance of a large number of the members Col. Hoyt allowed his name to be used. Mr. Brunson 's name was also placed before the conference for the nomination, and he also waIs unwvil lIng to enter the scramble. As Col. Hoyt said lhe was unwil ling to contest, a ballot was taken anid lhe received 30 votes and B3run son 11. Col. H-oyt's nomination wvas made unanimous by a rising vote, Julius E. Boggs was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, but declined. RI. P.* Clinkscalos placed i-i normi nation for Lieutenant Governor Col. J. L. Tribble of A.ndersion. Mr. E. D. Smith was also placed in nomination, but declined. Col. Jas. L. Tribblo of Anderson was nominated for Lieutenant Gov ernor by acclamation. On mtion of Mr. Foatherstono the conferoee decideld not to niomi nate-a candidate for Attorney Gone ral. A Fako Corpso Foundi. (Greenville Ntews.)

Coroner Vilbanks was summoned at once, and for fear of spoiling somo i cluo that might suggest itsolf to the I shrowd and experienced olice, tho I body lay on the bank untouched. Mr. Wilbanks reported promptly and ap- I proaching the sceno withl his usual ( dignity, wearing his best inixturo of I profossional smilo aid scowl.
