Petitions were presented from the Little Mountain Democratic Club, the Dead Fall School House Club, and the Kinards Democratic Club, asking mission to the Democratic Party. On motion of Mr. Blease, the clubs were ad admitted anid their delegates enrolled. -THE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. * On motion of Mr. Blease, the tem porary organization of the convention was made permanent. Mr. Dominick, in thanking the con vention for his election as chairman, said: MR. DOMINTCK'S ADDRESS Gentleman of the Convention: I heart ily thank you for the double hono,r youi have paid me, in electing me bothb your temporary and your permanent chairman. The convention is called in accordance with the constitut ion of the Democratic parby to provide for the beginning' of another campaign in democratic history. South Carolina has always stood out pre-eminent amngo the galaxy of States composing this Union, on account of its unique po sition, its ha-ing thoughts of its own, and fearing not to put them into ex ecution. We have today reached a time when we do not have the same in terest in our conventions as formerly. Once upon a time we were all governed by them, in that all affairs were man aged by them. Today they are only called for putting party machinery into operation and providing for the primary. But when that primary is provided for certain safeguards have to be thrown around it and that is one question which comes before you to day, whether you shall instruct your delegates to the State Convention as to what they shall do insofar as the com ing primary is concerned. We are all familiar with what has been going on in this State for several years past. At one time we were alarmed lest the bulwark of democracy should be battered down and we should once more be under the heel of the op pressor. Even if the bubble has burst, as a morning paper has said, even if the chief opponent of democracy in South Carolina has decided not to en ter the lists, I say that the duty is more strong that we should go on re cord in stamping out the republican ism from our ranks, and saying that none but Democrats shall run in a Dem ocratic primary. [Applause ] Since our junior Senator has been eliminated from the race there is all the more reason that our State convention should put itself on record and prescribe the .tandard of condidates who run, for now since he has gone out of the race a resolution of this character could be passed and no one can stand up and say it is persecution of one man. But it is for you to say whether or not our delegates shall be instructed. Tiaere are other matters which will come before you, and one to which I desire to call your attentiion is the resolution passed last year providing for representation in this convention for one delegate for every fifteen mem bers of a club. In my humble opinion the proportion and ratio as fixed by the State Convention is large enough. We now have too large a Convention. Again, I thank you. On motion of Mr. Blease, Messrs. J Y. Culbreath - an-i C. T . Wyche were unanimously elected vice-pres idents of the convention. STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEEMAN. On motion of Mr. Jno. Henry Chappell Cole L Blease wea elected State Executive Committeeman. DELEGATES TO STATE~ CONVENTION. The convention tben went into the election of eight delegates to the State Convention, yhich meets on the 20th of May. There were thirteen nomi nees. The following is the vote re ceiveal by each. J. A. Slighb 157; C. T. Wy che 156; Cole L. Blease 155; George Johnstone 153; F. H. Dominick 138; Geo S. Mow. er 138; J. B. Bedenbaugh 116; E. H. Aull 109; 0. L. Sch um pert 102; W. G. Pt terson 95; H H. Evans 94; Thos. W. H olloway 78; G. M. B Epting 14. There being 188 votes cast, 95 being neessary to an election, the following eight gentlemen were declared the delegates to the State Convention Me3ssrs. J. A. Bligh, C. T. Wyche, Cole L. Blease, George Johnostone, F. H. Dominick, Geo. S. Mower, J. B. Biedenbaugh and E. H. Aull. COUNTY CHAIRMAN GOGGANS. Mr. Blase nomitiated Hon. J. C. Goggans, the prese.nt efficient c'erk~ of court, for the position of Chairman of tte County Democratic Executive Committee, and Mr. Goggans was unanimously elected. Mr. Goggans was called upon for a speech, and in response said: Gentlemen of the Couvention: I thank you most heartily for the com pliment you have paid mg in elect ing me your county chairman. I promise you that I will conduct the affairs of the party in this county in a fair and impartial manner. But, my friends, I must forego the pleas. ure of making you a speech. I know~ that you are tired, and I am suffering very much myself in the department of the interior. I thank you again PRESENTING REGISTRATION CERTIFI CATES. Mr. Blease offered tbe following re solutions in behalf of the delegation representing the Factory Democratic Club: Resolved, Thbat we oppose any change in the rul s governing the primary that will require voters to present their registration tickets, and request our delegates to the Sta*te C.onvention to oppose any resolution looking tc that end. Resolved, 2nd, That we favor the amending of the pled ge so as to require all voters to pledge themselves to sup. port tbe nominees of the Democratic party. both national and state. Mr. Blease said that in t wo counties they had instructed their delegates to introduce a resolution in the State Convention looking to the amending of the rules so that no one can vote in the primary save those who present a registrati.pn certificate. We have been taught that the primary is for the pur pose of learning the will of a majority of the white people of South Carolina. He spoke as the representative and delegate of 350 voters, 260 of them bein g operatives in the Newberry Cotton Mill 'This was a movement placed on foot to disfranchise a certain class who are as much entitled to vote as any peo ple. And reachin'g back into the farm ing districts it would say to tha farmer, after he has ridden two or three miles and has forgotten his certfficate, that he can not vote. It is the duty of every citizen to register, but because he does not dolt is noreason why he should be disfranchised. Hon. Geo. Johnstone said that he apprehended full well that in the pres ent condition of the people of South Carolina it is of supreme importRnee t!at every citizen who is entitled :o vote should be registered, particular:y in vxw of the fact that there is at pr - ent a movement on foot in the national coLgress looking to the cutting down of tie representations of the v-rious Stuthern States He said ttiat it was of supreme importance that every white man in every Southern S!ate should be registered and suoull vo)te on the day of the general election, in or der that ihe arguments that are now being used to cut down their repre sentation in the National Corgress, based upon the slender poll at our gen cral elections, should not have the weight with Northern audiences that thay now have. He was in favor of keeping up interest in t.be primary, but he wanted to see more interest taken in the general elections. But he could see w by those resolut ions had been introduced by the factory club. They are not a settled people. They are hardly ever located at the same place for twelve months, and he thought it would be well for the Con vention to favor their appeal. The resolutions were then adopted. MR BLEASE ENDORSED Mr. W. G. Peterson introduced the following resolutions, which were adopted by the Convention with xat dis cussion: Resolved, That we, the members of the' Conuty Democratic Convention, of Newberry County, do hereby endorse Cole. L. Blease, Esq , for bhe office of Lieutenant Governor of South Carolna, and recommend him to the Democratic voters of this State as one thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of said office and worthy of their confi dence and support. A NEW COURT HOUSE. Mr. J. B. Hunter stated that he had been requested by the Supervisor to call the the attention of the Conven tion to the advisability of placing at each poll during the primary a ballot box, in which the voters might put their ballots saying whether or not they wanted A new court house. The regular way to go about the matter was for the Legislature to pass an Act ordering this course to be pursued, but in tbis manner they could get the voice of the people and it amountedi to the same thing. The old court house had not long ago caught on fire, and there was 88,900 insurance on the buildtin and the Supervisor has ia his hande $2,000 which can be used for repairs. He made a motion that the ballot boxes as above stated be placed at each p:ill. The motion was adopted. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. - The milmes of tne members of the executive com mittee as suggested by the various clubs were c alled by the sec retary, and the memobers elected. The names appear iuthe report of the pro eedings of the committee. IN MEMORY OF HAMPTON. The following resolutions upon the death of Wade Hampton; were offered by Col. George .Johnstone, on behalf of a committee appointed, consisting of himself as chairman, Col. 0. L. Scbum pert, and Mr. W. G. Peterson Resolved, That the County Demo cratic Convention of Newberry County most deeply feels the irreparable less which the people of this State have lately suffered in the death of Gov ernor Wade Hampton. Firm in con viction, resolute in the right, profound in his wisdom, his unselfish patriotism led us to victory in 1876, and created an ep' ch not only in the history of his state but in thbe history of the A merican Union. Resolved, That in his death South Carolina has lost one who, under all circumstances, was ever true to her traditions, her history and her people, one to whom she turned for comfort and for guidance in the hours of her supremest sorrow, and ever felt safe whben her interests were in his keeping. In his wisdom, his unswerving devotion to duty, and his self-sacrifice, he has lefLt us a heritage that will be cherished throughb all time. Mr. Johnstone, in presenting the reso lutions said that there were many present who were strangers to the scenes of '76, many who have been born and are grown to manhood and have married who were born since then. It is only those who were at least ten years of age who remember the scenes and troubles through which we passed. There are but few now, for the years are rolling on, who re member the scene in the city of Columbia when this one man moved as a piece of machinery, the entire democratic party of this state. There are many here who remember the flocking to Columbia that took place when it was understood that the ~Hampton administration was in danger. A single word from the great leader, that now was not the time for a disturbance, but if the people were willing to trust him, he would ask them to return to their homes with the assur ance that their voice and their votes would be respected, and he would be Governor of South Carolina, or by the eternal God there would be a military government; and Columbia -vas desolated. He has lately gone to his last resting place. In view of these occurrences, in viev of our great struggle i '76, we have offered these resolutions out of respect to the memory of the leader of this party in those days. Mr. Johnstone spoke for several minutes. He was eloquent and forceful. IN MEMORY OF W. C. CROMER. The same committee presented the following resolutions upon the death of Mr. Wallace C. Cromer: Resolved, That in the death of Wallace Cline Cromer, since 1888 Auditor of New berry County, this Convention realizes that the Democracy of the county has lost a most thorough, efficient, courteous, able and conscientious officer. Resolved, 2nd, That we point. to his career as one worthy to be followed and as doing honor to the constituency that >placed him in office. Resolved, further, That a copy of these resolutions, expressive of our spmpathy in their bereavement, be furnished by the secretary of this convention to his family. IN MEMORY O CHAIRMAN BOYD. The folllowing resolutions were offered by Mr. B. B Leitzsey: Resolved, That the Democratic party of NL\ewberry County. in convention assem bled, has heard with profound sorrow of the death of Calhoun F. Boyd, Esq., late County Chairman, and that it extends to his afflicted family its sincere sympa'hy in their bereavement. Resolved, futher, That the Secretary of the Convention transmit to the family of the deceased a copy of these resolutions I and the county newspapers he requested to publish them. Resolved, further, That as a particular mark of respect to the memory of the de- - ceased, and in recognition of his efficient services to the party, this convention do now adjourn. B B. Leitzsey, J W. D. Johnson, Fred H. Dominick, Committee. Mr. Blease, in seconding the resolu tions upon the death of Mr. Boyd, said J that the people 'of Newberry County knew his worth, knew his merit, had hon ored him with one of the most important offices within their gift, and there was little for him to say. He also seconded the resolutions on the death of Wade Hampton, and he hoped that~the resolu tions on the death of these two men. one giving his services and his life to the county, the other giving his life and his all to his State, would be adopted by a rising vote, and the young democracy and the old democracy would clasp hands in remembrance of the ser vices of Calhoun F. Boyd and Wade Hampton. Mr. Schumpert spoke eloquently in seconding the resolutions upon the death of Mr. Cromer, saving that the people of Newberry County had all known him and ( had'all loved him. He also spoke of the resolutions upon the death of Mr. Boyd aid Gov. Hampton. ] Mr. Johnstone said that he had known Mr Boyd in every walk of life. He had also known Mr Cromer since 1876, and he knew his heroism, his perseverance, his uprightness in every walk of life, and the patience with which he bore the fell disease which caused his death. The resolutions were then each unani mously adopted by a rising vote. The convention then adjourned. THE NEW EXECIJrIVV, C9141WITTEE Organizattan Perfected -Magi4trati 9 and Sub-Supervisorp to Remw!n In thePri mary-A Commttee Appointed on Special Campaigns-Day for Congrecsional Candidates., At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon County Chairman Goggans called a meeting of the County Democratic Execu tive Committee, the members of which, had been elected by the County Conven-I tion.

On Thursday afternoon about four o'clock Arthur Fry, a negro working in Mr. W. Y. Fair's gravel pit, was killed by the gravel caving in upon him. Death was almost instantaneous. F:y was about forty years of age and li ved on Mr. Gannt's place, about two miles from the city. He was a good workman. The coroner held an inquest over the body, and the verdict was that he came to his death from the cause above stated. Accidentally Shot. Saturday afternoon Mr. Rufus Senn and a friend were on their way to attend1 tbe ball game at the college and while walking along the young man with Mr. Senn went to knock the dust off his pants, struck his pistol and it fired.

John J Long has declined the call to the pastorate of the Newberry carge, Mayer Memorial, and has de ciaed to remain in charge of the churches he is now serving in the coun ty.
