TES STATS DEMOCRATIC CON? VENTION. rp \\. ' On 17th of May the State Democratic Con? fi;-. Tention will meet in Columbia in the House of Representatives for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Democratic Conven iC. :~ lion, whieh will bo held zn St. Louis on 6th of Jone. Toe Convention is called for this express purpose and none othes and ipi; . ino other business is likely te be trans? acted by it at that time. The State Demo? cratic Committee think- that it ie advisable to .' have two Conventions. One in ?ay for the purpose already mentioned and the other later %? in "be season to nominate a State ticket. This Hf '?. - ** their -view on the sound principle of' party policy and it accords with the true wishes of the people of the State on the subject. Tb? Noes and Cornier in an editorial on p?>? Monday, says: "lt is evident, we think that there is disadvantage io placing the State candidates in the field in Mayor June, when the election is not held catii November sod tho active canvass cannot begin until August -- or September. The nominations become stale. The people grow accustomed to the fact of the nomination and look upon it as virtually an election. Hence, there is bat little enthusi? asm and activity when the candi tates go be? f?te tho people. Of late years there bas been ; : a serions falling o ST ic the Democratic vote in South Carolina. It ts attributed by some to early nominations in 1880 and 1884. What? ever the cause, it should be ascertained, and, if possible, be removed.' ' JUDICIOUS FILIBUSTERING. There has been a deadlock since last Wed? nesday in the House of Representatives on the bill to refund the direct tax paid by the several states during the civil war into the United States Treasury. A large majority of th? Hoes*-Republicans and Randall Demo? crats-favor the bill, tnt owing to the pecu? liar rules under which the body works a : x determined minority eau by filibustering, de? lay, and sometimes even defeat^ legislation. .Oar Washington correspondent, for whose letter we have not space, says, "such furious filibustering has scarcely ever been seen since the foundation of the House of Represen ta trves.*' Representative Oates, of Alabama, who bas taken the leading part in the fight against the Direct Tax Bill says that the opponents of the Bill sro influenced in their conduct in oppos? ing its consideration, because "we deny that Congress has any power or right to appro? priate money from the treasury for distri? bution among the states and territories. Such a thing has never been done, and there is no precedent for it in the whole history of con? gressional legislation The only time it was ever attempted was in 1836, and it wa3 then abandoned as unconstitutional, and recourse had to the lena act of that date and that the - passage of this bill would be tantamount to the legislative declaration that there is no limit or constitutional limitation on Congress in the matter of the appropriation of the public money-that the power of Congress is unlimited and discretionary, lt would be an usurpation tending to sap the foundation of the republic and violative of the fundamental principles of the Democratic party. The protectionist s are all for the Bill and Randall ned his crew are doingjeverything in th??r power to carry it through. It is a grand scheme in the interest of the protection? ists. Filibustering has never had so complete a justification as in this case, notwithstand? ing the yetes end Courier of Monday says that "the filibustering which Mr. Oates and his followers have practiced for three or four > days is injurious to the country, discreditable to themselves and damaging to the Demo? cratic party." The iniquity of the measure .od the attempt on the part of the schemer to posh through the raid on the Treasury is enough to arouse public opinion in opposition to the Bill and justify Mr. Oates and those acting with him ia filibustering to prevent a raid bn toe Treasary for fifteen millions, aod probably, eighty-four millions of dollars. Tbe Baltimore Sun says that Gen. Tillman, ! of 3outh Carolina, one of the leading fili'ous- j terere against the direct tax bill, and a pro- j conoced antt-C?eve?and man, gare expression j to some rather original views in conversation with a representative of the Su:i. Referring to the diiect tax bill, he says that mensure cao Bot pass tire House this season unless the cot? ton twx amendment is added to it. The fili? busterers, he says, are prepared to hold out j until sheol freezes over. Hs says he has not ? the slightest idea th-it the bill will become H j law in any sh*pe, as the appropriations for j pensions will lie so Urge that there will he no surplus left io the treasury to p*y direct tax, ? cotton tax, or any other kind of tax. Episcopal Church Meetirg. The annual meeting of the Chut%h oPihe ! Holy Comforter of this city, was held last Monday morning- Senior Warden H. L. Darr presided and Capt. P. P. Gaillard acted a? secretary. The following preamble and resolutions, offered by Capt. W. R. Delgar, were unani? mously adopted : Whereas, in the Diocesan Conveu'ian held j "in Charleston in May, 1837. certain members withdrew from ibe same by reason of diff.-r- j enees of opinion on*certain matter* ;h?-re d's- j cussed : and whereas, while sympathizing f with tho?e who withdrew on th** main ques- j lion, we yet believe that these differences can j best be settled by a full and free discussion of j them io the Convention; Therefore be it resolved. 1 1. That this parish do send delegates to the ; Convention called to be held at Anderson, 1 S. C. i 2. That our delegates be sent uninstructed j as to their votes upon the question before the ? last Convention. 3. That it ig the sense of this parish that it ; is not expedieut to admit colored persons into j our Convention. 4. That beiag unwilling to cripple the j - Church in the least in its work, our delegates J aro requested to use their utmost endeavors j to a-stst any movement looking to a compro- j mise of all the questions agitating the diocese, j and in restoring peace and harmony in her : councils. The following was the result of the election : ; Wardens-H. L. Darr, John S. Keavs. Ves- ! tryrnen-J. p. W. DeLorme, W. R. Delgar, P. ! P. Gaillard, G S Sealey and T. M. DeLorme. ?

LUKE, S. C., April 9, 1888; Mr. Editor:- The Spring season it a little ahead of the farmers in this section, which is doe only to the immense amount of raia we bare been having lately. Fortunately, how? ever, we put on a little more steam than we general!j do, and so we have-almost succeed? ed in catching np with oar wotkv Some of the older citizens of this part of the country say that the river near us has risen much higher than they have seen it since many years. The duckpond in front of Dr. Green's ts almost navigable for steamers. If it could Btaj that way continually,- aad not ?ubject to ?*dry-?p8,M we have no doubt but what the Doctor would soon have on its waters boats for the pleasure of bis- many friends. Jeering ail this rainy weather; we thougln for a while that the. doods* Had made ap their mind to come from all parts vf the world to give ns samples of their contents; we natu? rally concluded this, for they came in from every direction. It was certainly a young flood which tarred out to be about six days old. Mr. Editor, it is certainly the case with yonr correspondent in this -instance, that whenever be is at a loss to know what to write about, there is always one subject, al? though- common, upon which one caa fall back, wheoever it is desired that be should be beard from, and thtssubjectis "the weather." We read in your issue of a week or so ago, "Guy's" reply to "Yerbum Sat." It was quite interesting and cer?aialy a goo&oue. We did not see anything from?he latter, in your last issue; guess "Verbura Sat" has taken a bad? seat or is "tal down apon." Mr. T. J. Baker, a candidate for Sheriff, was rn our section a day or so ago, and bas been several rimes within the past few months. We are surmising whether it ts a girl that be is after, the vote, or road business. We doo't know exactly, but the future may tell os. Mr. Baker is a welcome visitor, and we appreciate his company. We are quite glad to Iearu that Miss Msry Shaw bas concluded to prolong her visit in this section. Miss Mary is an excellent young lady in every respect and sbe certainly bas a iiost of admirers. The annual picnic to be held some time next mon-h at Law's Mill is being discussed. I hese picnics are always a nice a?&tir, and bave been a source of great pleasure ; from the present indications, the next one in May will be by far the most enjoyable picnic that aas ever been held at this pl&e-it will be 3*K picnie of the season. The Bisbopville team came down on Satur? day to Elliott's as appointed and crossed* bats with St. Luke's. We don't know for certain, Dut from appearances, as tbe members of the ratting club took their position at the bat, ?oofidence of success seemed to shine forth from their eyes out toto tbe field upon the borne boys, who seemed so dismayed that for iwhile they could not catch even tbe lowest 3 v that came to some of them. All this hap. pened during the first inning; the second presented a little different scene. Gu the first inning the Bishop vi ?ie club made lt to St. Luke's "0. From this time, however, the lome club got dowa to business and- they >oon piled up runs until the number reached 23-'. The visiting club played steadily ou to the last and made 21 runs. Had the home team possessed more steadiness of nerve [which characterized the. Bishop ville club) than they showed when the game bega'rr, we bave no doubt but that the score would nave . teen quite different. St. Luke did not take ber last inning. Miss Annie Law has been quite sick fer some time and we are sorry to learn is no better. On Sunday it was necessary to call la a consulting physician-the physicians now being Ors. Green and Aleford. One of the trains of the Bisbopville and Atkins R. E., that passes by Elliott's, ran off the track a day so ago, bot fortunately this time no one was hurt. Dr. J. Duna, from Kershaw, and a gradu? le of Louisville Medical College, bas settled in oar neighborhood for the practice of med? icine. Dr. Dunn is a young mao of rare abilities and we h-ve no doubt but that he will build himself up a good practice. Entertainment at Wedgfleld. WEDGEFIELD, April 7, 1888. Miss Faunie E. Pack, the blind lady, so weil cnown to many of your readers, gave an en erUinment in Wedgefield on Tuesday night last consisting of music and recitation. The >rogram was as follows: 1. Clark's March of the captives. 2. Do Good-Song. 3- A Flower from my Angel Mother's a rave-Song. 4. The blind orphan girl's lament, with romplimeatary piece dedicated to Miss Pack Recitation. 5. Thy will be done-Song. $ The lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine-Recitation. 7. Where is my wand'ring boy to-night Song. 8 Why I am a prohibitionist-Recitation. $ The empty cradle-Song. 10 The last hymn-Recitation, ll. Audience joining in Jesus Lover of my Soul. Tbe entertainment was largely attended sud all seemed pleased. Miss Pack also showed the manner of teaching the blind, a od delighted all by reading from the books for the blind a selection from Benj. Franklin. The rendering of the recitation, The lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine, and The last byron, were especially good. The entertainment was given in the Meth? odist Church, and as will be seen from the program, there was only that wbieb accorded with the place. The entertainments of this lady ?re of a highly religious character, and the ?rood ac? complished must he great. W. In a Freshet.
