Another Statement in Reference to the Constitutional Convention Elec? tion of 1695. Editor Dairy Item.' In the Item of last Friday under the head of "Mr. James' Convention." you spoke of the election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention and a ticket on which my name appeared. I will give you a little more Informa? tion as well, as I desire to say how my name got on that ticket. The ef? fort that was made to unite the two factions on a joint ticket for dele? gates resulted In the meeting of the two factions on the same day in Sum? ter-to ose if they could agree on a ticket- The Stralghtouts met In the Court House and the Reformers In a hall down street. In the Reform con? vention the proposition to unite was discussed pro and con. Some wanted to run a straight ticket, but it was finally carried to unite In a joint tick? et, for the public good. There was nothing but a very spirited discussion of the subject in all its bearings. WliWlhO election of delegates came hut I declined on account of the health of my wife. She died soon after. The nsmes of the three dele? gates elected were carried to the Sraghtout convention and accepted by It so the joint ticket was agreed on. A few days before tho election I receiv? ed a letter from Capt. D. E. Keels say? ing that they thought best to put out a HtraUht Reform ticket and that they used my name to All it out. I im? mediately wrote him not to use m> name on it. He replied that the tick? ets were printed, and sent out and could not be recalled to comply with my request. That Is how my name got on It. Who composed the caucus that put tho ticket out I know not. 1 could tell you more about those time? but there is no need to bring up the past, except it would do good. Mis? takes were made by both factions and the patriotic men of both sides real? ized It. gstneo then the fights have been made In one party. J. E. DuPre. Plsgah. Oct. 2nd.

Address of Congressman Lever is Something All Should Hear, Says J. C. Dunbur. Editor Dally Item: I learn through tho Chamber of Commerce that Hon. A. F. Lever will be in Stunter on Monday, the 9th instant, to address the farmers and business men of Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties on cooperative' marketing of cotton and other farm, products, telling of the federal legis? lation enacted and of federal coope? ration along marketing of farm pro? ducts. I understand that he is to dis? cuss the rural credit system recently enacted by our national congress. It is to be hoped that the farmers and business men of the three coun? ties mentioned will take advantage of this opportunity of gaining informa? tion, and turn out and give him a hearing. These privileges do not como often and when they do, we shoujd, embrace them, that we may learn, something for our own good. He will further discuss the problem of a cot? ton marketing association with the Idea in view of procuring a govern? ment cotton grader for fc> amter coun? ty, something that every cotton grow? er Should be vitally interested in. Now, Mr. Farmer, if you expect anything good to come your way, you should .have enough Interest in it to put yuftt -shoulder to th^wfreei oJJtV help to*bring it. Don't sit stittp\y by, and concludo that your presence and co-operation Is not worth anything,. but take hold with a firm grip, re? membering that we are all component factors in tho make-up of our coun? try's good and there is something for each of us to do. We should alsa^vremember that I God helps'those vAJphelp themselves; and 11 We stand aloof and ignore those who are ready to open , up plants to ua where we will be bene? fited, it seems to me that we will manifest a lot of carelessness and that complaints in the future, that we are not getting justice in the business world, will come with mighty poor grace. Don't forget next Monday is the day and let's all, business men and tanners, turn out and give the occa? sion our presnce and cooperation in trying to improve our own conditions and that of others. .
