?VIT?! CONVENTION.
Large Battering o? Earnest ans
Suggested by Mr. Mathe
ls Adopted and a Se?era!
Committee Appointed to
* Carry it Out.
Columbia, Nov. IO.-The meeting
that was held here today goes to show
how deep and real is the interest in
the desire to have a worthy set of im?
migrants come to South Carolina.
There was no politics, there were no
axes to grind behind this Convention.
It was based ?purely upon patriotism
and a desire "to see the State prosper
and to see the waste places utilized.
Mr? A. J. Matheson, a prosperous
farmer, of Marlboro county, stated
the movement, which promises such
good results. The movement has been
well launched and the details have
been placed in charge of a general
committee to work oat. '
There was so cut and dried plan.
The Convention seemed to lave noth?
ing definite before it other than Mr.
. Matheson^ plan, v?iich had been set
forth in. newspapers. The Matheson
plan was approved-, and the general
committee wa? instructed to carry- it
oat ss far as possible, but there is no
restriction upon the work that the
general committee may plan or its
method of carrying it ont. -
The Convention met in the . State
House and was disposed to wer? and
do what there was to be done.
Gol Knox Livingstone was selected
as temporary chairman and Col. E. J.
Watson was named as secretary.
The following cbnn'sies were repre?
sented by delegates.
Edgefield, Anderson,.. Union? . Char?
leston, Colombia, Newberry, Claren?
don, Florence^ Darlington, Marion,
Saluda,. Lexington, Marlboro, York,
Georgetown; Fairfield' and Sumter.
The committee on nominations sug?
gested the following officers :
President,- A. J. Matheson.
Vice Pr?sidents, 1st district, J. E.
. Tindal; 2d, T. S. Williams; 3d, Fred
J. Williams ; 4tb, J. T. Douglass ; 5th,
Leroy Springs; 6th, Dr. J. H. Davis;
7th, F. H. Hyatt
Secretary, E. J. Watson.
CoL Knox Livingstone, of Marlboro,
moved that the Convention appoint a
committee to map out the work of the
Convention and get some plan of ac?
tion, so afc to ??pt something definite
before the body. This was agreed to.
Governor Heyward was presented to
che Convention and said that such a
gathering of representative men show?
ed the deep interest in the movement
He explained briefly the purpose of
tile move. He was most heartily in
favor of the establishment of a State
burean of information. Most of these
inquiries he had to refer to Col. E.
J. Watson, of the Chamber of Com?
merce. It was, he thought highly
necessary to have a State bureau for
such information. If there was any?
thing he coule do he would be glad to
give his cooperation. The convention
had his very best wishes. This was
thoroughly angelfish work for the up?
building of the State. He was
thoroughly in earnest in his offer to
cooperate in the purpose to bring
white settlers to this State. He had
no plans to suggest, but would be de?
lighted to cooperate in every way pos
sible, and would recommend whatever
was thought advisable if desired to
bring the matter to the attention of
the General Assembly.
The following is the plan of organ i
zation and work as proposed by the
committee charged with presenting a
plan :
Resolved, That this .Convention rec
ommend the establishment by the
'State of a department of immigration,
which shall have charge of all matters
pretaining to securing immigrants and
placing them throughout the State.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
General Assembly of this State to
make ample provision and liberal sup?
port of said department of immigra?
tion, to represent the resources and
ind?ceme its we have to offer to im?
migrants, to be stationed at St. Louis,
to remain there during the whole
term of the Exposition.
Resolved, That in furtherance of the
objects of this movement we urge the
appointment of a special agent of the
State
Resolved, further, That, in order to
accomplish the purpose for which we
are assembled, that a committee, to
be designated as the South Carolina
immigration executive committee,
consisting of one member from each
county and commercial body, of which
the president of this Convention shall
be chairman, and with power to ap?
point such committees, shall be elect?
ed:
1. To prepare a constitution for the
State and each county organization
of the South Carolina immigration
Association.
2. To pr?pare in suitable form all
information relative to the resources,
etc., of the State.
3. To elect a general agent, npon j
whom shall devolve all duties usutlly j
appertaining to an immigrant agent, j
4. To devise a mode and manner by j
which to raise the funds necssary to j
defray the expenses necessarily incur- j
red.
5. To prepare and submit to the j
General Assembly such legislation as j
may be proper to carry into effect the j
purposes of this Convention.
Resolved further, That in order to j
get the work launched at once this j
Convention cal!s upon the different I
counties, municipalities and commer- j
cial and agricultural organizations to j
send to the committee subscriptions, \
thus enabling the committee to meet i
the expenses of inaugurating the
movement and of the preparation of
such advertising matter as may be
necessary.
The whole of the resolutions as
offered were adopted. i
Mr. John J. McMahan offered the
following resolution, which was dis?
cussed:
That we urge our Senators and Rep?
resentatives in Congress to secure a
modification of the United States
statute which prohibits the prepay?
ment of the transporation of immi?
grants under contract to work, and
prohibits the assistance or encourage?
ment of such immigrants."
Mr. Livingstone and Mr. Hamilton
thought this a national question and
thought it better to leave the matter
alone.
The motion was lost.
CoL John P. Thomas th?n offered
this resolution :
That the plan known as the Mathe?
son plan be approved and that the
general committee be asked to do all
possible to further the Matheson plan.
The plan was adopted.
Mr. Manning suggested that the
counties present select their commit?
teemen and the vacancies will be ?lled
later on.
The executive committee, or gener?
al committee, was then, oragnized as
follows: Greenwood, E. S. Addison;
Edgefield, T. ff. Rainsford; Anderson
Chamber of Commerce, C. C. Lang?
ston ; Union County, J. T. Douglass ;
Union, Macbeth Young ; Charleston
Commercial Club, J.- C. Hemphill;
Charleston Chamber of Commerce, W
S. Hastie ; Newberry,* John Scott ;
Columbia Chamber of Commerce, E.
J. Watson; Clarendon, Jas. E. Tin- ,
dal; Florence, R M. McCown; Dar?
lington, .Bright Williamson; Marion,
J. H. David; Saluda, A. B. Watson;
Lexington, j. Wm. Mitchell; Marl?
boro, Knox Livingstone; Greenville
Commercial Club, W. B. Moore;
Georgetown, Patrick Matthews : Fair?
field, T. H. Ketchen ; Sumter, E. W.
Dabbs; Laurens, J. Y. Garlington.
The chairman will at his leisure,
on motion of Mr. R. I. Manning,
fill the vacancies.
Mr. Matheson's plan was formally*1
approved and endorsed, on motion of
Col. Thomas, of Charleston. J
Mr. W. S. Hastie moved that all j
foreigners, who hadfrelatives or friends
in Europe, who were thinking of com?
ing here, give their names to the
chairman.
Col. C. S. Gadsden thought the work
had been launched. It looked to him
that it was now all-up to the general
committee.. '
Mr. Hemphill thought the general
eonimittee"6miight meet in Charleston.
It was, however, thought best to let
the chairman select the place of meet?
ing.
Cr um Renominated.
Washington, Nov. ^0.- President
Roosevelt lias again sent to the Senate
the nomination of Dr. Cram to foe col?
lector of the port of Charleston. Since
the Senate committee on commerce
reported the nomination of Crum
there have been Several changes in the
membership of that committee.
Mason, of Illinois, and Jones, of
Nevada, ?IRepublicans, gand Vest and
Turner, Democrats, have retired. The
opposition to Crum loses three votes,
while Mason was a pronounced advo?
cate of the negro collector.
It is probable that the reorganization
of the committee may result in a
favorable report on the Crum nomina?
tion, but the opposition on the minor?
ity side is sufficiently strong to pre?
vent his confirmation.
Civilizing the West.
Wallace, Idaho, Nov. 10.-Two per?
sons were killed and two wounded in
a shooting affray at the entrance of the
Wallace Opera House |last night. The
shooting took place just as the theatre

head, and William Cuff, a miner, shot
three times . The wounded are: Chief
of Police McGovern, shot through the
hand, and Opera House: Policeman
Rose, shot in the leg.
The trouble arose over Cuff insisting
on smoking a cigar in the gallery.
Berlin, Nov. lo.-A bulletin on the
condition of Emperor William, issued

OLYMPIA COTTON MILLS.
Order Issued by Judge Simonton
Appointing Receivers For the
Mill Rescinded by Him.
Richmond, Va. Nov. ll.-Judge
Simonton, of the United States Cir?
cuit Court, this afternoon issued an
o/der rescinding his order of v *ster
day appointing Allen Green and W.
A. Clarke receivers of the Olympia
Cotton Mills, of Columbia, S. C., the
largest and most modern mills in the
world.
The receivers were appointed yester?
day on application from Leonard
Phinizy, a stockholder, resident in
Augusta, Ga. Abney & Thomas repre?
sented the plaintiff. Today there came
post-haste to Richmond, where Judge
Simonton is sitting in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, the
lawyers for the other stockholders of
the mills, and as the result of their
pleading the order of yesterday was re?
scinded, and the largest industry of
its kind in the world is> in operation
without the assistance of Courts.
The status of the case is that the
mills will be operated as formerly and
no action will be taken by Phinizy or
allied stockholders until November 30,
when Judge Simonton will hear argu?
ments on the question of the appoint?
ment of a receiver.
Charleston, Nov. 12.-An order was
taken today before Judge* Simonton
at Richmond, making the Whitlock
Coil Pipe company, a corporation
chartered in Connecticut, a party to
the suit of Leonard Phinizy and Alice
S. Hull against the Olympia cotton
mills. The petitioning intervener is
allowed to represent itself and their
creditors in the action which has been
instituted. The order of the court
vacating the temporary receivership of
the property was received and filed
in the office of tue circuit court clerk
today. The part of the original order
stands requiring the defendant com?
pany to skpw cause on Nov. 30 why
an injunction should not be issued
and a permanent receiver be appointed.
FALL RIVER REBOCES WAGES.
Thirty Thousand Cotton Mill
Operatives Affected.
Pall River, Mass. Nov. ll.-Notices
were posted today in the cotton mills
of this city announcing a general re?
duction of 10 per cent in wages to
take effect on November 23. About
30,000 operatives are affected.
The cut-down is attributed to the
unsettled state of the cotton goods
trade, resulting from the high price
of raw material, and to a pronounced
hesitation to buy on the part of the
usnal purchasers. The action taken
in Fall " River is of widespread im?
portance, since a step of this nature
in this city usually is followed by
mill owners in Southern and Central
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Eastern Connecticut, where a total of
about 50,000 men are employed.
As soon as the news of the r?duction
was announced officials of the Textile
Workers' Union began making arrange?
ments for a conference to consider the
situation. It is thought, however, that
no general strike will be ordered here
at this time, for the reason that many
of the manufacturers are short of cot?
ton and have large stocks of goods on
hand, which would make a strike of lit?
tle consequence to them.
A Flurry in Cotton.
New York, Nov. ll.-After opening
steady, but rather irregular ?nd nerv?
ous, as a result of conflicting early
news, the cotton market this morning
became very excited and active and
was soon on its way toward the high
level of the season. First prices were
at a decline of 3 points being due to
^ liquidation, talk of a less favorable
turn in far Eastern affairs and con?
tinued heavy receipts; while the ad?
vances were in line with bullish cables,
unsettled weather and covering. On
the call the market was rather quiet,
but almost immediately the bulls be?
gan to support prices. Before the ad?
vance was checked thc market had
reached, and in some instances surpass?
ed the previous high point, and then
showed a net gain of 19a20 points on
the more active positions. At this
level there was active realizing and
reports that Fall River spinners would
reduce wages 10 per cent unsettled
bull confidence, as it was argued that
the cut might, lead to a strike and a
consequent reduction in spinners tak?
ings. The market closed barely steady
at about the low pont of the session,
or net 4 points higher to 6 lower.
The sales were estimated,at 900,000.

More Hobson Advertising.
New York, Nov. ll.-The summons
that Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson
obtained on Monday for the appear?
ance of three people to try and ex?
plain the disappearance of jewelry,
money and one of his medals, was
dismissed today. Miss Margaret Hob- ]
son, his sister, had reported their loss.
Miss Hobson seemed to be somewhat j
indefinite about the disappearance of ?
the valuables when she testified today, !
and the Judge advised that she drop
the case, as he believed there was no j
warrant for further action. The sum- !
mons was then dismissed.
Miss Hobson later was served with i
papers by attorneys for her colored !
maid, Lizzie Dritt, in a $10,000 dam
age suit. The papers charge false
arrest and imprisonment and malicious
prosecution.
In an affidavit the maid swore that i
on the evening of November 5, while 1
leaving the^sanitarium, she was accost?
ed by a man and woman detective, em?
ployed by Capt. Hobson. She further
averred that she was taken back to
the sanitarium and searched and kept
there a prisoner all night.
SHH DOMINGO BOMBARDED.
Hebels Warn the Consuls, But
They Give no Heed.
San Domingo, Eepublic of Santo
Domingo, Tuesday, Nov. .10.-The
city is closely besieged by the revolu?
tionists and commerce is paralyzed.
Firing around San Domingo con?
tinues. Many shells are falling into
the city.
The political situation is unchanged.
The German war ships Panther and
Gazelle are here.
Previous to beginning the bombard?
ment of San Domingo the revolution?
ists notified the diplomatic corps and
the consular officers that they had pre?
viously served notices on the Domini?
can Government that the forces of the
revolution intended to adopt all means,
including a bombardment, in their
efforts^ to capture the city. The repre?
sentatives of the Powers met today and
decided that they could only hold com?
munications with the legally establish?
ed Government of the country.
Gen. Paul Cabrera, at the head of
800 revolutionists, with six pieces of
artillery and a treasure chest, con?
taining $40,000, arrived yesterday be?
fore the city.
REBELS WARN UNCLE SAM.
San Domingo, Nov. ll.-The revolu?
tionists have addressed a letter to
United States Minister Powell, in?
forming him that engagements entered
into with the United States by the
Goovernment presided over by Gen.
Wos-Y-Gil, will not be recognized by
them. The letter requests that Minis?
ter Powell recognize the revolution?
ists, but that minister has refused to
hold communication with them. The
political situation here is unchanged.
THIS IS A CHEAP JAG.
The Potato and Turnip Make a
Good intoxicant.
Geneva, N. Y., Nov. ll.-The potato
and the turnip promise to become the
strong rivals of malt in the manufac?
ture of an intoxicating beverage. The
efficacy of the juice of these common
vegetables was discovered in a novel
way. Thomas Warren, who lives on
the old turnpike road west of Geneva,
noticed one day this week that his
hogs appeared dazed.
It was found that George West and
William Nobles, two itinerant farm
helpers hired by Mr. Warren recently,
had been squeezing potatoes and tur?
nips up into a mash and after procur?
ing all the extract therefrom threw the
remains of the mash to the hogs. The
hogs evidently did not require much
of the left-over essence to get on a
good "jag." All last week the swine
have appeared to be jagged and Mr.
Warren succeeded in getting at the
cause only after he found the two farm
hands and a dozen chums hitting up
a keg of the new "essence of frument ?"
in the barn.
Nobles was almost dazed by the
dosage, while his partner was com?
pletely "paralyzed." Warren managed
to get the information from the men
that led to the news of the wonderful
properties of potato juice and turnip
juice as a jag-producer.
Mr. Warren said: "I tested the
alleged merits of this mixture for my?
self. A wine glass full gave me the
sensation of going up in a balloon.
Ten minutes aterward I became silly
daunk ac d it was three hours before I
regained my normal self. It will be a
winner if put on the market. The
taste is not agreeable, but if some
sweet cordial is added the drink could
be made palatable. I may, myself,
start the manufacture of this new dis?
covery. I have warned the boys not
to drink too much of this stuff and
not to feed any of tl>e left-over mash
to the swine. If the swine have had
the same sensations as I had they will
be greatly disappointed in not getting
more mash. '
Mr. Warren is one of the farmers
who three weeks ago took measures to
stop the farm hands from tapping corn
silos and extracting the fermented
juice therefrom. Now that potato-tur?
nip juice bas been discovered as a fine
jag-producer, the farm help need not
come to town any more when they
wish to dispel the horrors of the blues.
They have the choice of swo merited
cordials.
Faith of the Inventors.
-V
There is a sermon on faith in the life
of the late Gordon McKay,* who left
820,000,000. He didn't make the
money in Wall street. He didn't
wreck a railroad or sell watered stock.
Poeple who knew say that Gordon
McKay never turned a dollar that was
tainted. Gordon McKay was an in?
ventor-one of the few inventors who
have reaped the reward that their
brains deserved. Ile perfected the
machine which sews soles onto shoes,
and made it possible for the millions
to be well and cheaply shod. He pur-1
chased the original idea for his ma?
chine. The machine was crude and
would net work. It was a suggestion
only, but McKay saw the possibility
in it. He put long months of labor
into tho invention. He manufactured
machine after machine only to discard
them all. He. spent every dollar he
had in the world and borrowed where
he could. He was called a crank and a
foo:. He endured some privation, and
yet he never lost fa-th in himself or
the outcome of his efforts. Finally he
conquered, and riches beyond his
wildest dreams cam-; to him.

UPHOLDING THE
PANAMA CONSPIRACY.
lt is Stated in Washington That
it is Too Late for Colombia
To Try to Resurrect Canal Treaty
With United States.
Washington, Nov. IL-It is stated
here on authority that it is too late
for Colombia to make any effort to re?
surrect the canal treaty with the Unit?
ed States, and beyond preventing a
hostile clash between Colombia and the
new Republic of Panama the proposed
visit of Gen. Reyes to Panama will be
without result. The 'same authority
points out that the United States
Government, having recognized Pana?
ma as an independent State, cannot
now proceed to negotiate with Colom?
bia on any terms for canal rights in a
State over which Colombia exercises no
political control, so any future canal
negotiations will he between the
United States Government and the
Government of \Panama.
Mr. Tower, our ambassador at
Berlin, has cabled the State depart?
ment that he has been requested by
Baron Richthoffen, the German foreign
secretary, to inform the Washington
Government that the report that Ger?
many intended to become involved in
the Isthmian situation is entirely
without foundation. Mr. Tower adds
that he was further assured by the
foreign secretary, in a mczv earnest
and sincere manner, that the question
of Germany's interfering in Panama
simply did not exist.
The reply of the State department to
the protest filed by Mr. Herran, the
Colombian charge, was forwarded to
him today. It was merely a formal
acknowledgment that the protestad
been received.
CONSUMMATING THE COUP.
Washington, Nov. ll.-After a con?
ference with Secretary Hay today Mr.
Buneau-Variila, the Panama envoy,
announced that he would be received
by the president at the White House
on Friday as minister plenipotentiary
and envoy extraordinary of the Repub?
lic of Panama to the United States.
This, he said will mark the passing of
the de facto Government to a de jure
stage.
Mr. Buneau-Varilla will first call at
the State department upon Secretary
Hay, who will accompany him to the
White House and make the presenta?
tion. The ceremony will occur in the
Blue room.
Washington, Nov. ll.-The Demo?
cratic steering committee was in ses?
sion before the Senate met today and
again considered the Panama situation.
No conclusion was reached, but the
indications are that the Democrats will
attack the course of the Administration
on the isthmus with refereuce to the
establishment of the new Republic of
Panama.
Colon, Nov. 12.-The royal mail
steamer Orinoco arrived here today,
bringing news of Gen. Torres and the
Colombian troops he took from here
after the proclamation of the Republic
of Panama.
On the arrival of Gen. Torres and
his troops at Cartagena the news of
events on the isthmus quickly spread
and caused excitement. Gen. Torres
and his officers were threatened with
arrest'as traitors, but the threat was
not put into effect. The populace,
greatly excited, soon crowded the
streets, crying: "Down with the
Americans!''
United States Consul Ingersoll, fear?
ing violence, remained shut up in the
consulate.
The excitement at Barranquilla in?
creased with the spreading of the news
of the secession of the isthmus, whicli
was supplemented by exaggerated
! accounts cf the alleged part played by
the United States therein. Panama's
declaration of independence was read
from a newspaper by the prefect to a
crowd assembled in the plaza, and
was greeted by furious cries, and
shouts of "Death to the Pana?
manians" and "Death to the Ameri?
cans.,'
The prefect followed thc reading by a
speech, in which he declared that the
Colombian Government would never
permit the secession of the isthmus,
and would win back the lost territory
at any cost. The crowd in the plaza
indulged in many extravagant threats.
United States Consul Lovelace was sit?
ting on a balcony of his house at Bar?
ranquilla tonight, when several stones
were thrown at him. He retired in
doors and was not further molested by
the Colombians. Revolutionary talk
began immediately at Barranquilla,
and threats were made against Con?
gressmen responsible for the non-ratifi?
cation of the Hay-Herran canal treaty.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of Americans in Colombia, and of the
possibility of the auger of the populace
being vented against foreigners gen?
erally. The authorities at Sa vanilla
h;:ve mounted two obsolete guns, cover?
ing the wharf.
From South Africa
New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Dur?
ban, Natal. South Africa, says : "As a
proof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen
you the following : A neighbor of mine
had a child just over two month* old. It
had a .cry brid cough and the parents did
not know what to give it. I suggested that
if they would get a bottle of Chamber?
lain's Cough Remedy and put some upon
the dummy teat the baby was sucking it
would no doubt care the child. This they
did and brought about a quick rolief and
cured the baby." Thii remedy is for sale
by China's Drug Store.
DEMOGRATS AGAINST
THE PANAMA CONSPIRACY.
Opposition to Treaty With Panama
and Support of Spooner Act.
Washington, Nov. i2.-Democratic
Senators have determined to oppose
the ratification of a canal treaty with
the new Republic of Panama should
the Administration enter upon treaty
negotiations with that country. The
Democratic steering committee is said
to be unanimous in condemnation of
the recognition the United States has
given to the creation of a new Govern?
ment on the isthmus, though the an?
nouncement has been made that no
course of opposition has been definite?
ly adopted.
It has been learned upon the au?
thority of a member of the Demo?
cratic steering committee that the
sentiment of the commitee is to at?
tack any effort to open negotiations
with the new Republic, and to go be?
fore the country in support of the
Spooner Act, to show that the party
is not antagonistic to the building of
a canal It is claimed that the law is
on the side of the Democratic pro?
gramme, inasmuch as the Spooner Act
is a Republican measure. This Act
authorizes the President to proceed
to the construction of a canal on the
Nicaragua and Costa Rica route in
the event negotiations with Colombia
are not concluded within a reasonable
time for the Panama route.
Senator Tillman's Views.
From the Atlanta Journal.
United States Senator Ben Tillman,
of South Carolina, is in the city to?
day, and gave his opinion <?s to the
possibilities of the Democratic party
in the coming Presidential election.
Senator Tillman said :
"The Democrats have a good chance
of putting in their candidate. The
elections in New York, Maryland and
Rhode Island are victories for the demo?
crats that will be a great hdp in the
coming election.
"The eletion of McClellan in New
York will have a national effect.
You see the election of Democrats here
and there will spread the possibilities
over the entire country.
"Some people have argued that the
comparatively small majority in Mary?
land is not a victory that will be very
effective nationally. I would like to
call their attention to the fact that
heretofore we have had no majority at
all, and the election of a Democrat is
a great victory.
"Roosevelt's attitude towards the
negro is going to hurt the chances of
the Republicans. The race problem as
an issue will be a good one. The peo?
ple over the country are taking an
interest in the elections. The trouble
that the negro caused in the North
the other day during the election will
harm the Republicans.
"The people all over the United
States are changing their ideas regard?
ing the black man."
Senator Tillman will leave tonight
for Chattanooga.
