The ticket to be voted shall be in the following form with spaces to suit the different coun ties: THE MELTON-BRAVTON FACTION KNOCKED OUT. The Webster-Deas Faction Seated at St. Louis as The ‘'Regulars.”— A Telegram From Deas. The “Lily White” Republi cans “cut no ice” with the Na tional Republican Committee at St. Louis last Saturday. The entire Webster-Deas faction gained seats in the National Convention and will vote solid ly for McKinley. The first the people of Darlington knew of the action of the National Com mittee was a telegram from Deas which read as follows; St. Louis, June 18. To Robebt T Hahllee: The entire delegation headed by Webster seated. E. H Deas. The following is what the press dispatches of Saturday had to say in regard to the mat ter: The South Carolina contests were then taken up. The entire delegation, including four delegates at large and fourteen District delegates, was con tested. The contest grows out of the question of organization- There are two distinct organizations in South Carolina, tnat which Is known as the ‘'Regulars'' being headed by E. A. Web ster, the chairman of the State com mittee. The other organization is known as the “Lily Whites,’’ and is headed by L. D. Melton and E. M Brayton, members of the national com mittee. The delegates of the Webster faction were admitted at Minneapolis four years ago. The State committee did not call a -convention in 1894 or counted. Rule 9. In the primary elections herein provided for, a majority of the votee cast shall be necessary to nom inate cand ‘dates. A second primary, when necessary, ahall be held two weeka after the first, as is provided for under the Constititotibn of the party and shall be subjeet to the rules governing the first primary. At eaid BomlMta 7ticket, and therefore assume second primary, the highest eandi dates alone shall run for any one office, but if there are two or more vacancies for any particular office, then double the number of eandi- shall run for the vacancies to be filled. For Instance, in a rase for sheriff the two highest shall nia. Bale 10. In the event of a tie be tween two candidate* in the second primary, the county chairman, if it is a county office, and the Htate chair man, if it is a Htatq office, for a United States senator or fc>r congress, or for solicitor, shall order a third primary. The question of amajority vote shall be determined |<y the number of votes cast for say particular office and not by the qfhole number of votes east in the primary. Rule 11. . Bash Connty Executive Committee shall furnish the mana- at eaeh precinct two ballot boxes, one for United States Senator and State officers and the other for congress men, solicitors and county’ officers.

State Trqtouror Bates claims that the services for which he received $9,031.25 were in behalf of the syndi cate—“extra service that I could not have been expected or required to render asBtate Treasurer." The fact is that State Treasurer Bates did render these “extra servic es’ 1 as “State Treasurer.” The Port is informed by persons in Charleston who subscribed for new bonds that they sent the old bonds to Columbia and that they took the re ceipt of W. T. C. Bates as “State Treasurer - ’ for those bonds. Further more^ they say that they would not. have accepted his receipt as agent for the syndicate. They required the “Stat* Treasurer’s receipt’’ in order to avoid risk and because they would hasp been, in event of trouble, able to bold the “State Tieasurer” respon sible on his official bond. In their opinion, therefore, the State Treasur- simply, to the extent of aesist- in the exchange by receipting for old horde, acting in his official ity. The matter narrows itself down to Mils: It may be. as Dr. Bates says that he was not “required" te per form these “extra services" and that be could have refused, peremptorily, to perform them. But if he did do them, it wae necessarily a» < “State Treasurer." In other words, his offl dal position enabled him to facilitate the exchange as no private citizen could have facilitated it. If Dr Bates’ official assistance to the bond syndi cate was in the interet nf the State and he deserved extra compensation, he should have asked It of the Legis lature. Did he have the right to lend official assistance as “State Treas urer" to the bond syndicate to; sub serve even their legitimate interests? Should tb* “Stats Treasurer” of South Carolina be paid for “State Treasurer's", work by a bond syndi- tef Should a State Treasurer, even though he performed duties not strict ly incumbent upon him a* such, but duties Which only a. “State Treasur er" could perform, accept remunera tion from any other party than the State? The b«*t that can be said for Dr. Bates is that he did himself a great injustice. Nobody will believe that be was dishonest, heeause $9,000 will not tempt Dr. Ratsa But should Dr. Bate* have made the $9,800 out of aaybqE/ but the State? Should the -Stofie* Bryce, H. B.

It was by the call of the old committee that the convention was held which elected the “Regular" del egation, all of whom are for McKinley, while the delegates of the “Lily Whites" faction are in most cases anti-McKinley men. The same question Involved in the case of the delegates at large was involved in all the District delegations. An arrangement Was therefore entered npon to group them and have the entire case presented in one hearing, giving a half hour to each side. The Webster delegation is composed of the following: At large—E. A. Webster, Robert Smalls, W. D. Crnm and T. B. Johnson. First District—G. I, Cunningham, R. C. Browne. Second District—B. P. Chatfield, W. D. Dixon. Third District—Robert Moorman, J. R. Talbert. Fourth District—C. M. Wilder F. H. Gills. Fifth District—Thomas Boykin, Cad. J. Pride. Sixth District—J. E. Wilson, E. H. Deas. Seventh District—J. H. Fordham and F. E. Walker., The Brayton delegation is composed of the following: At large— E. M. Brayton, L. D. Mel ton, G. W. Murray and 8. E. Smith. First District—Samuel Green, H. W. Purvis. Second District—M, W. Watson, D. Yates. Third District—H. M. Hendrix. Fourth District—I. J. Miller, Frank Nichols. Fifth District—G. G. Alexander., J. W. Prather. Sixth District—J. R. Levy, C. S, ties. Seventh District—R. H. Richardson, W. ii. Smith. Mr. Melton appeared in behalf of the dellgation headed by himself. He con tended that there was bnt one organiza tion and that the committee had no power to hold over. If it could do that, it could perpuate itself. Where, in that event, would the power end? Certainly in the face of this state of affairs there was nothing left to the mass of Repub licans to do but to get together and re organize, the Western people having refused to call a meeting. Mr. Melton said that while his organi zation was known as the “Lily Whites," the organization had tha encouragement and oo-operation Of the colored people, who had been recognized two to one in the convention. He said the reorganiz ed party had undertaken to rescue the State for the Republican party and was accomplishing that la good shape. He declared that many prominent white men had come into the party since their organization was perfected and that Republicansim had for the first time become respectable. He said they had one club of 2,100 composed entire ly of white men. - Judge Thor pson, of Ohio, represent ed the Webster faction. He asserted that in view of the condition of affairs In Scute Carolina, which rendered it Impossible for the Republican party to make a tangible showing in that State, np State ticket had been nominated for the past twenty years. Hanes the party had fallen into the practice of not hold ing State conventions and allowing com mittees to hold over. - The Webster committee bad held on under these precedents and it was the decendent of the organization effected first in 1868. Hon. Robert Smells, the well known colored politician, supplemented J idge Thompson’s statement.' Mr Sma ls outsndsd for tbs regular organization He aassrtsd that the Msltonitss had no standing as a Republican organisation in the State aa&ao piouae for coming ; before the national committee as claim ants for seats. He admitted that there were some Democrats who had profess ed willingness to call themselves Re publicans, bnt this was because of their advocacy of Republican doctrine. In his own behalf, Robert Smalls made a bitter attach upon his opponents. The “Lily Whites," he insisted, had no stand ing in the State, they had no excuse for existence and they were entitled to neither the recognition nor the respect of the Republicans of the nation. In the city of Charleston, where Capt. Melton had said 2,500 white men will be ready to join the “Lily White” party, the facts were, said Smalls, that per. baps that number of men were willing to join—not so much the Republican party, as any party that would help them to “down” Tillman and his dis pensary law and give them free rum in their city and their homes. M any of them were favorable to the gold stand ard and protection as against free silver and free trade, and many objected to the liquor laws of the State. Mr. Brayton, a member of the national committee and one of the contestants for a seat in the convantion, rose in the committee. Mr. Hahn objected on the ground that he was a contestant Mr. Fessenden contended for Mr. Braytons right to speak as other members under similar circumstances had been permit ted to do. “Fair play is a jewel," he said. Mr. Brayton was allowed to proceed He defended the new organization. He explained the club sj stem, which had been adopted in imitation of the Till man style, and said it had worked ad mirably. Those clubs are both white and black and have a membership of over 40,000. The system had- been of especial benefit because it allowed a di vision of the races in tbeir party organi zations. Naturally, in view of the race prejudice, it was exceedingly difficult to secure co-operation when whites and blacks were thrown together. Jndge Long, of Florida, moved the seating of the Webster delegates and Congressman Settle moved to substitute the names of the Melton delegates. Mr. Settle supported his substitute by saying that the conditions in South Carolina were such that the new organization ought by all means to be supported. The Settle substitute was lost by a vote of 21 to 29. Mr. Fessenden moved that each side be excluded in accordance with the Deleware precedent and Mr. Cartron moved a substitute to seat both with a half seat to each delegate. Mr. Cart- ron’s substitute was defeated, 16 to 82, and Mr. Fessenden’s, by 14 to 82. The Webster delegates were then seat ed without division. . WELL-KNOWN TOBACCNISTS. Three of The Mott Prominent Ware, housemen in South Carolina. The Southern Tobacco Jour nal of last week published a page article -about the South Carolina tobacco markets, with pictures of several of the most prominent tobacco men of the State. The gentlemen from Darlington spoken of in the ar ticle were Messrs. R. H. Tred way, Jr., Abram Sydnor and B. F. Smoot, with an excellent likeness of each. Here is what the Journal said about them: One of the most successful ware house managers in South Carolina is Mr. R. H. Treadway, Jr., now of Darlington. Mr. Treadway served his apprenticeship in some of the lar gest and best warehouses in Danville, and is one of the best equipped ware housemen in the Sonth. What “Bob” Treadway does not know about sell ing leaf tobaceo is hardly worth know ing. In his new South Carolina home he has made a host of friends, both strong the busines men of Darlington and among the farmers of the Palmet to State. During the past two years hs has been one of the strong forces which have helped to makeDariington the active, wide-awake market she is, and the town is fortunate in securing the services of so well-equipped a ware houseman as Mr. Treadway. Mr. Abram Sydnor, who is associat ed with Mr. Treadway in the ware house management at Darlington, is also a Virginian and came to South Carolina over two years ago. Mr. Sydnor is one of the finest auctioneers in the trade, and withal an active and all-around warehouse manager. In Darlington he has made many warm friends, and he has worked very hartl for the good of the Dar lington market. Mr. Sydnor is pop lar with both buyers and sellers: is a typical warehouseman and auction eer, and is one of the best known i men in the New Tobacco Empire of South Cariina. Among the younger men in the to bacco trade of South Carolina who have been led into the business by the rapid developement of the tobac co prodnetion in the State, Mr. B. F. Smoot is one of the best known. It was largely tbrongh bis efforts that Darlington secured her second ware house, which Mr. Smoot assisted in building and managed last season. He is active, progressive and knows the tobaceo growers personally all over the tobacco sections of the State. Mr. Smoot deserves much credit for his efforts in building np the Darling ton market, And his knowledge of the warehouse business already and his energy will make him one of the leading characters in the trade of the Palmetto State. BATES OB BOND HS. TKE STATE TREASURER MAKES HIS STATEMENT. He Tells How he Came to Accept a Fee of Two Thousand Dollars From the Syndicate. “Yes. it is true that I received from the syndicate the sum of $2,031.- 25. This was for acting as their rep resentative in making settlemepts with their subscribers, collecting and remitting their premiums and at tending to their expense account. “For instance, there were subscrib ers in Charleston for $2,000,008 of the new issue which the syndicate had contracted to deliver in Charleston. These were to be paid for mostly in Brown consols, but the holders of the consols naturally would require the syndicate to deliver to them the new issue of bonds before they would part i zmri - - ——--- spirit, because we thought we recog nized in yon an officer whose crown ing ambition appeared to be directed only in the channel of exercising every scruple of prudence In the con servation of the duties involved by his official capacity. Yours respectfully, Robert C. Davidsos, President. THE COUNT! HEWS. (Continued from first page.) SPRINGVILLE. Mr. Weatley Melton is quite sick at this writing. Mrs. Mary Parnell is visiting relatives and friends in Darling ton. Mr. Willie Douglas, of Dar lington, has moved into this community. There is much sickness in this community and our Dr. J. R. Ware, of Dovesville, is kept very busy. with the possession of their consols. "Two courses were therefore open to the syndicate. One was to pay the State treasurer $2,000,000 in cash -eceive the new bonds, and then ex change them with the Charleston subscribers. The other was to secure some representative here in Columbia whom the Charleston bondholders were willing to entrust with their bonds and exchange them for bonds of the new issue. I suggested to the syndicate the employment of a Co lumbia banker as their representa tive, but they preferred that I should do the work, and at the urgent re. quest of the Baltimore Trust and Gnarentee company, the agent of the syndicate, on or about the 21st of March, 18J8,1 consented to act for them, as the bondholders in Charles ton and elsewhere were willing to place their bonds in my hands for ex change. “The public will understand that there is a vast difference between: First, my accepting money as a con consideration for making a contract for the sale of State bonds: and sec ondly, my acceiting compensation tendered by the syndicate for extra services as their representative long after the contract had been made. The first would have been offered, of course, and accepted prior to the contract, and wonld have deserved severe criticism. The second was tendered long after the contract had been made, and was for extra service that - ! could not have been expected or required to render as State Treasurer. The work necessi tated the keeping of a s| ecial, diffi cult and extensive account, and in volved much responsibility and trouble. A good portion of .the amount received went to pay for ex tra and special clerical work. “I am sure a reasonable public will agree that the work I did was unoffi cial, and did not conflict with my duties as State Treasurer. Nor will I be expected to render responsibe] and valuable service for a syndicate of wealthy capitalists, without some reasonable compensation, especially as the compensation was not paid by the State. Outside of the $2,031.25 1 did not receive one cent from the Most of the farmers of this section are about through gath ering their oat crops and find them very short. Miss Emily Cook, of Mont Clare, paid her sister, Mrs. Har ris Moody, of Darlington, a short visit last week. Mrs. Emma Lewis has return ed home from Bethlehem where she has been on a visit to her father, Mr. Geo. Kirven. Quite a number of our young people attended the commence ment exercises of the Dovesville school and enjoyed the proceed ings very much. Mr. Arthur Goodson has the finest field of cotton; Mr. W. E. Flowers, the finest garden and Mr. J. N. Kirven, the finest corn and tobacco in this community. CLYDE. Corn crops are looking well at present. Mr. J. C. Watkins has the finest garden in this section. Mr. and Mrs. Neil Caddell’s child, little John Henry, is ve ry sick. I am glad to report that Mr. W. E. Johnson and Mr. A. J. Morrison are up again. We have had lots of rain and “general green” has put in his appearance in full force. There is to be a picnic at Clyde next Saturday, the 13th. Clyde is a nice place for picnics so come along and bring your baskets. Some of our public roads are entirely impassable and we would certainly be glad if the county commissioners would look after them. We pay taxes as" well as other people. Your correspondent and Mr. B.

Bates, State Treasurer.” After Dr. Bates had given to the press the above statement, he re. ceived the following letter from the president of the Baltimore Trust and Guarentee company, the former mayor of Baltimore, which he also gave for publication: Baltimobb, Jane 9.1890. How W. T. r. Bates, State Treasurer, Columbia, 8. C.: Dear Sir: I understand that some question has arisen as to the prop riety of your having accepted com pensation from the syndicate which purchased South Carolina bonds in 1893, and we think it no more than fair to state that under the rigorous terms imposed by your then governor, the Hon. Benj. R. Tillman, it would have been exceedingly difficult for a syndicate to have carried out the terms of purchase without the con stant presence. in Columbia, of some competent and trustworthy person charged with the duty of performing the varions acts of necessary clerical labor which were incessantly requir ed. It was not convenient for this company, as the agent of the syndi* date, to have such a representative contimally on the spot, and you were asked so to act, and the com pensation paid you was only fair, and said payment came from the syndicate alone, and in no wise, even remotely, affected the interests of your State nor the interest of the most insignificant of your taxpayers- The payment for your services was made upon the volition and by the sanction of the executive committee of the syndicate. It was entirely proper, and the engagement of your self in sueb capacity really proved to be a safeguard to your people,because, in the execution of the clerical duties which the syndicate required, you invariably manifested an unalterable seal for the protection of your State, and in the exercise of this quality, we think, you often imposed upon the syndicate conditions which would have been quite unnecessary in the oondnot of any matters pertaning to private business. These conditions, however, were accepted in a cordial HIGH HILL. Crops are looking well in this section Some of our young men visit ed the Midway neighborhood last Sunday. Some of our farmers have got uneasey for fear cold weather is coming and have wrapped up their cotton with the dixie plow. I can give Mr. S. P. Hill the praise for eating the first green peas in this neighborhood this year, and Mr. W. R. Atkinson for having the finest large patch of vines. Mr. J. W. Stuckey paid this neighborhood a “pop call” last Sunday afternoon. Come again; we like to see your face in our community. On account of sickness in his family, our pastor was unable to deliver the usual good ser mon on last Sunday afternoon, much to the regret of his con gregation. Our Binging class met at Mrs. Maria Humphries’ last Sunday night and it will meet at Dr. P. A. Wilson’s next Sunday at five o’clock p. m. The public are cordially invited to attend. PALMETTO. The measles are still in our midst. Several of our farmers are laying by their corn crop. Miss Addie Outlaw, of Dar- lington, was in our midst last Friday and Saturday. We are always glad to welcome our friends. Several of our tobacco plant ers are topping their tobacco. They have as fine a crop as has been seen in Darlington county. We were glad to welcome in our midst last Sunday, Misses Janie and Lemie Outlaw, of Darlington, and also Mr. Arthur Arnot, formerly of Charleston, but now of Darlington. We are glad to hear that Mr. - M ».! J. W. Rhodes and Mr. S. B. Rhodes, who have been sick with chills and fever tor some time past, are improving. We are very sorry to report that Mrs. C. B. Gardner has been very sick for several days past, but we are glad to say, is mproving some at this writing.
