In the present unsettled con dition of State politics, sugges tions, looking to thejsettlement of the much vexed problem, are in order. The daily papers con tinually publish views of con servative Democrats, who write in the interest of harmony. Several p^ns have thus been suggested and one that appears very feasible is the calling of a conference to meet in Columbia at an early day. To this conference, should it be called, will be invited every Democrat in South Carolina, without regard to past political differences. Every Democrat that desires to attend will re ceive a hearty welcome. A general discussion of the situ ation will be had and men, once arrayed in opposing factions, will sit side by side in the de liberations of the conference. With all working for the same end, the restoration of harmony in the party, the outcome of the conference could only be bene ficial. Of course the action of the conference would be binding upon no man, but, if evidence is given at this meeting of an honest desire to have the breach in the party healed, the sugges tions made by the conference will be accepted in good faith by the rank and file of the Democracy and will receive the consideration and respect that is due a laudable move to ac complish a laudable purpose. If the leading men of the party from all sections of the State should assemble in council a good opportunity for a com promise would thus be present ed and we have no doubt but that a happy issue out of the present unfortunate condition of affairs could thus be gained. man of the al Committee, seating that he will not be a candidate for the Presidential neminatior. In a family fued between the Carrs and Wallaces one night of last week, near Silver Point, Tenn., one w^rnan was killed, three men fatally injured and a number of others wounded.

Britton Williams, a fourteen- year-old boy, was stabbed to death on Wednesday of last week by his playmate, Willie Bryan, aged fifteen. It is said to have been a foul and unpro voked murder. Thekilling took place in Tennessee. The revolt among the Demo crats of New York against the schemes of Hill is assuming largo proportions. It is claimed that the majority of the mem bers of the party are opposed to the snap convention called in the interest of Hill. The new Y. M. C. A. hall at Davidson College, N. C., has just received a gift of about |:}00 worth of handsome furni ture for its parlor and reading room, presented by several of the Charlotte merchants and Dr. and Mrs J. B. Shearer, of Davidson College. On Wednesday of last week a street car in Pittsburg, Pa., in which were thirteen new em ployees of the company, was wrecked by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. Fortunate ly no one was hurt. The wreck was the work of strikers, whose nluces the new employees had taken. The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court that the anti-lottery postal law is constitutional has caused the managers of the Louisiana Lot tery to declare that they have abandoned the contest for a re newal of the company’scharter. It is said, however, that the anti-lottery people in Louisiana Jo not put much faith in the declaration of the lottery people that they have given up the fight. NATIONAL POLITICS. Since Blaine has stated that he will not be a candidate for the Presidency, the political out look from a Republican stand point is much clearer. Blaine’s withdrawal has caused several prominent Republicans to an nounce their candidacy, who have been deterred from doing so heretofore only because of the strength of the statesman from Maine. However, there is little doubt but that President Harrison will be renominated. Harmony seems to prevail in the Republican party and this augurs well for its success in the approaching contest. On the other hand great dis satisfaction exists among the Democrats. Hill’s efforts to secure the New York delegation for himself by a snap conven tion has caused a serious breach in the Democracy of that State, which promises to grow widei as the campaign advances. A split in the party seems immi nent. It is probable that Hill will capture the New York del egation, but this wilj h'wj^sv^) •'Jk** 11 '- ~ ZI . _ tm the nomina .. . STATE NEWS.

The result tkm The Democrats in New Eng land, the South and the West are clamorous for Cleveland. Hill’s scheming only increases their dislike fur him while Cleveland continues to grow in favor.

The Democrats through out the country will notsuppori Hill and New York can not force him upon them.

A Brief Sketch of the World Renowned Baptitt Preacher. In view of the recent death of Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, of London, the following brief sketch of his dfe will be of interest: Charles Haddou Spuigeon was born at Kelvedon, Essex, June 19, 1834. His father and grand, father were preachers in the in dependent denomination. At the age of sixteen he became uu usher at Newmarket, and sub sequently at Cambridge. Not long after going to Cumbriugo, he connected himself with a “lay preachers’ association” there, and before he was eighteen be came pastor of a small Baptist congregation at Water Beach, in 1853 he was called to the new Park Street Baptist Chapel, in ,outhwark, London, to which us preaching attracted such ;rowds that the congregation uoved first to Exeter Hall and iheu to Surry Music Hall.
