. REFORMERS GATHER
/
A DIG POLITICAL MEETING.
!At Which Conservative# have ? Respectful
Hearing.
A meeting of the delegates from the >
different townships of Union county
ifor the purpose of conferring together
as to what shall be required of the dellegates
from that county to the Constitutional
Convention, was held on Monday.
The meeting was composed of
citizens generally nud teu delegates
'from each township, of which there are
ton. When the roll was called it was
found that eighty-one delegates were
in attendance. J. W. Gregory was
made permanent chairman and J. M.
Greer secretary.
)Q>\ motion of G. W. Whitman the
Cnair appointed a committee of ten,
ono from each township, to which ull
resolutions were referred. Home objection
was raised to this on tbo ground
that there was not much time allowed
until Court reconvened. Mr. Whit- !
man said that this would facilitate
matters, and that he would rush things
along at a lively rate if they would let ;
him ruu the things a little while.
While the committee was out the i
Hon. Wm. Munro was called upon to
address the meeting. Mr. Munro ex- I
pressed his surprise at being called
1 1 il..i 1. . 1 l .i.
mm rsiim iuui ut1 >> tin uui jtrujiurtHi, ihiv ,
addressed the meeting iu behalf of the
Conservatives, asking that they be allowed
eqtial representation in the Constitutional
Convention. He said that
it was now iu the hands of the Reform
faction to bring the people together ;
by giving them this representation, :
that the chasm was closing any way,aud
that the people were gradually coming i
together; that there was not so much
bitter feeling between the two factions
as there had been. That he could
^pledge that the Conservative element
was as solidly iu favor of white su- \
preinncy as the reformers were.
Mr. Wm. A. Nicholson was called
upon, and said that he would like to
hear some expression from the Conser- i
vatives as to whether they would come
into the primary and abide the result, j
.To this Mr. Munro replied that it was
well kuown that if the Conservatives
brought out a candidate he would not
stand the ghost of a show, as the other
faction was iu so large a majority. To
this it was answered that if a Conser- j
vative took tho stump and told his !
opinions of the needed changes in the
laws, if they met the approval of the
people, they would vo.e for him irre- !
spective of party factious. There
were several short speeches along this j
line from both sides.
if^ t :.1 ih.i ii.n
iur. uuuricM ?t*iu uiut nit: l/uuoci vbtives
were not beggars, that they were
.the peers of any men anil they thought
they knew their rights, and only asked
for what they thought to be their
rights; that he could live under any
laws that any other white man could.
He said it was ridiculous to intimate
that the Conservatives, if allowed a
voice in the Convention, would do
nught to interfere with white supremacy.
Taken altogether it was a very har- ;
rnouious meeting. There was no ill
feoliug expressed in the speeches from
either side. Each seemed to waut
poace and unity of the party, but the
moans of bringing it about was thought |
to l>o one thing by one and another by
the other.
It is very evident from the present I
outlook that a strong delegation of tho j
Reform party will bo sent from this
county. Some of the Reformers are |
in favor of allowing tho Conservatives
one member, while others are not in I
favor of granting anything exc ep !
what they may win before the people
nn Hir> Ktiinm
The committee returned bringing in
the following resolutions that were
read and adopted seriatim. The reeo- j
lotions passed, with two or three exceptions,
without argument.
Itesolved, That we pledge ourselves
to white supremacy, to the extent of
out influence, so far as it can be preserved
without fraud, and without disfranchising
white men for other cause
than that by which they arc now disfranchised.
No property qualification
should bo necessary us a condition for
holding office
2. That we pledge our influence to
the promotion of peace und harmony
and unity,based upon what \v<?conceive
to bo party governmental principles.
Wo will not consent to jeopardize the I
principles of popular government as
wo now have it. in South Carolina for
any consideration.
5b Wo pledge our influence to the
formation of a Constitution that will
ho guaru private ngnis as nun n win
l>o impossible to foree individuals to
pay taxes for the benefit of corpora- !
tioriH not owned and operated by the
Government.
4. We believe that common school, '
industrial and technological education
is neeeasary to the stability of the
highest form of popular government,
and advocate that the grade of education
be guaranteed to the people by
the Constitution.
r?. We believe purely scientific and
classical education of high grade iiii- j
necessary to the stability of populur
government, ami morn a luxury than a ,
ucaeseity; and this gpide of educatiou j
I
(being abundantly supplied by volun-'
tary effort, ad v oca to a Constitution
that will prohibit competition on the
part of the State with institutions
purely literary, classical and scientific
in their character, and of high grade,
supported wholly by voluntary effort.
(>. We believe the people should be
left the right to deteruiino by their
representation in the General Assembly
what are the proper subjects of
polico legislation, without restriction
by the Constitution.
7. Wo pledge that we will use our
efforts to have such men nominated by
J VIVVV1VU) nuu vu riCV/li DUt'U
men at the general election as will represent
tho views contained in these
resolutions without regard to factions.
8. Tho county Democratic executive

reference to higher education; fifth
iu reference to the homestead law;
sixth, in reference to the law prohibiting
duelling; seventh, iu reference to
the traffic in intoxicating liquors and

9. We warn our citizens of tho
county agninst voting for any man to
represent them in the State Convention
who does not fully and explicitly make
known his views and proposed action
on these several subjects.
10. We deplore the dissensions and
bitterness now existing among Democrats
and exhort them to lay aside
prejudices and come together with a
steadfast nnd patriotic purpose to de
vise tue best possible fuuuATneutaJ la^r
for the whole people of the State, for

The Statement of the Comptroller
nvucrHi.
Comptroller General Norton lias returned
from Aiken where he has re- !
cently been to make his annual settlement
with the county officials, and to
examine the condition of affairs in that
county. The result of this examination
has been awaited with interest,
in view of the recent presentment of
the grand jury of the county.
Mr. Norton says that he found that
there are irregularities in the office of
the county commissioners, such as leiting
contracts for roads, bridges, etc.
He does not. however, think that thero
has been any bcnciit accruing to the
individual members of the hoard. lie
says that it is also true that the expenses
of the eonnty show an increase
of 37,000 or 83,000 over the expenses
of last year and previous years While
this is true, he says, the county com
missioiieis are not entirely responsible
for it, and a coinpurison of the expenses
for the yeura previous to this
year shows that the countv eomniisMoners
had spent no money for the
construction of roads and bridges.
This part of their duty had boeu neglected
and finally it beeuics a public
necessity this year to begin the work.
This required an expenditure which
seems to indicate that, the j*resent commissioners
have spent, more than they
ought to have done The main increase
iti the expenditures is to tie found in
the court expenses, owing to the increase
of the number of ciimiliid eases,
and the money that had to tie paid
witnesses and jurors. It was something
that could not be helped.
In regard to the charge of the grand
jury that Supervisor Sawyer had used
public funds to pay his private debts,
Mr. Norton says that Sawyer did pay
some private debts on a claim he bad
a v in est the county tor taouey owed
iii :u.
As to the charge of forgery against
Sawyer. Mr. Norton says Sawyer did
sign the name of Major Champion tbo
eh 1 k of the board to a certificate while
Champion was sick and needed the
money, but lie did it in tbo presence
ot the board,and with the hoard's consent
.
The Comptroller states further that,
so far as his investigation went, there
was no politics m the report of the
grand jury it was composed in uvovu
Reformers auil five Conservatives, and
the special committee which investigated
all these things was composed of
three Reformers and two Couservu
lives.
While the irregularities arc apparent.
Mr Norton says he believes that
there lias been no defalcation, anil the
.,r 'giilunties have resulted from a lack
of knowledge of the law more thau anytili
irr ?.! ??
PALMETTO POINTERS
A SALTY SENTENCE.
W. J.Iloweu, of Charleston, Sentenced
To tho Penitentiary by Judge
Buchanan.
A special to the News and Courier
from Sumter, 'snjB: When Judge Buchnuan
was holdiug Court iu Charleston
he signed injunctions against a
number of men who were charged
with selling liquor in violation of the
dispensary law. Among the number
were John Wyndhatu and W. J. Bowon.
The injunctions were Bcrved on
June 10. Sinco that date a member of
the Charleston police force, one L.
Meyers, has mudo affidavits charging
that thoy have continued selling liquor
in defianco of the injunction and in
contempt of the Court. Jitdgo Buchanan,
acting upou theso affidavits,
issued ati order for Wyndliym aud
Bowen to show cause before him in
'Chambers, on Monday, why they
shoukl'not be ruled for contempt. The
cases were heard Mouday by Judge
Buchaunn. Assistant Attorney General
Townscnd was present to repre'
sent the State ami Mr. George S. Lo'
gare, of Charleston, appeared iu behalt
ol Wyudbutn. Bowen was not rep- j
resented ^uor were either of the prini
opals present. The case of Bowen i
I was taken up first, aud after tlie nffida- j
i vils were read by Mr. Townsend iu 1
support of the charge that Bowon had !
j violated the injunction and was, there- |
I lore, gumy oi contempt, he wan mli
judged guilty of contempt, and Judge
Huchatiun issued an order sentencing
j Uoweu to pay the Hunt of two hundred
dollars, and be imprisoned in the State j
1 Penitentiary at Columbia for the term
' i?f four months.
The case of Wyndhnm was then
taken up. A general denial was put
u by Mr. Liegare, who brought with i
; iiiui a number of affidavits from repu!
table citizens w ho take meals at Wyud- i
ham's restaurant, in Meeting street, in
; rebuttal of the charge that liquor was
; sold on his premises. These parties
1 j wear that not only had no liquor been i
I I old there since the injunction was is1
i nod, but that none hail ever been sold
i j here to their knowledge; that ou sevj
prul occasions they had asked Wyud- !
bam to sell them beer Aud liquor, but i
i |ie refused every time j (
Iu view of these affidavits Judge I |
Buchanan reserved his derision in this j i
rase until he had sufficient tune toes : <

THE TREASURY DEFICIENCY.
The Figures In the Report of the Fiscal
Year Just Ended.
Tho fiscal year 1894-5 ended on
Saturday last, and from official
*nd semi-official figures obtained
it the Treasury Department, which will
not vary more than $250,000 either way
from the figures finally announced, the
government revenues and receipts for
the fiscal year can bo stated.
The receipts are as follows: 1894-'95,
$312,500,000; mZ-'04, $297,722,019;
1892-'93, $385,819,628.
The expenditures fur the same years
were as follows: 1894-'95, $256,000,000;
1893-'94, $367,525,279; 1892-'93, $383,477,954.
The deficit for the past two fisoal
ve&rs were as follows: 1894-'95, $43,500,000;
1893-'94, $69,803,260.
For the year 1892-'93. the excess of
receipts over revenue amounted to only
#2,394,074. Prior to that year, there
had been an excess in receipts over expenditures
for every fiscal year since
1865, the lowest excess in all those year9
upjo 1892-'93 having been iu the year
1874, when the receipts exceeded the
expenditures by only $2,344,882.
For the present fiscal year ended today,
Secretary Carlisle, on December
3rd, 1894, estimated that the deficiency
would be $20,000,000. As shown by the
official figures this estimate was more
than $23,000,000 out i f the way, due
largely to the elimination of the income
tax from revenue. Had the House bill (
with sugar, iron and coal, placed on the
free list, become a law, the actual de- <
licit for the present fiscal year, instead ,
of being over $13,000,000, would have <
been over $03,000,000. On February ,
2nd, 1893, Secretary Carlisle, in un estimate
furnished to Congress, staled thai
during the fiscal year 1895, the surplus f
revenue over expenditures would 1
amount to $22,503,023. Six months of '
this period have now passed and the deficit
for this six months is $ I ((,750,000. 1
Assistant Secretary Can is, in a pub- J
lished statement, estimated that the de
ficit up to December 1st, 1895, would be
$35,000,000. This estimate was made *
after the income tax had been declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court ^
of the United States. It was based upon 1
the increased appropriations made by a
the last Congress, which go into effect- t
.luly 1st. and which include $5.(KM).000 ^
for the sugar bounty and increased in- ,,
v.ihikcs ?I1 uccuuni ?J| mc several ^
bond issues aggregating $l<i2,400,000.
For the month or July, which begins
Monday, it is estimated by the Tress- l?
ury, if receipts continue normal, that ti
the expenditures will exceed the re- p
ceipts by about twelve or thirteen mil- *1
lion dollars, July being *n interest-pay- tl
inp month and the payments on ac- ?
count of o?'",ions being also especially
heavy. For the month of June, just
?nded. the receipts have exceeded the u
xpeiiitilures by nearly $2,000,000, thej llJ
IrM month since last August wheu this <1>

ON ITS OWN MERITS
THE REGISTRATION CASE.
To He Heard by the Supreme Court In
November.
Mr. Charles A. Douglass, who has
beeu the leading counsel in the registration
case, was in the Columbia
this week. He was seen at Wright's
Hotel with reference to tho progress
of the litigation. Ho said that the appeal
papers had been prepared and
will be ready for docketing dtiriug the
present week. The case, however,
could hardly come up before the November
term of the Court. He would
not make an effort to prevent the
holding of the Constitutional Convention
and he did not think that tho
holdiue could bo nrev?nt?fl
Wlieu linked whether Judge Ooflf
had attempted to prevent the holding
of the Constitutional Convention, he
replied emphatically ho did not. Upon
the contrary the effect of Judge CiotT's
order was not to prevent tho holding
of the Convention, bnt was baaed upou
tin* legality of the election and removed
the registration law so that all qualified
electorK could participate in the
election of delegates.
The present action was to give the
Court the opportunity of deciding the
i-ase ou its merits, lie said that the
Court might confine itself to the uaro\v
limits adopted by the Court of
\ppeals, but lie would peseut the ease
10 that all of the issues included in the
nerits might be clearly before it, und
or it to decide.
fie was asked what the effect would
jo on the work of the Convention if
Fudge tbiff'? views were sustained by
he Supreme Court He said that ho
lid not know what, the effect would be.
t might invalidate the work of the
'ouventiou or it might not be held to
>e so far reaching. Upon a question
o grave us this he did not cure to veuure
an opinion ut this time. As to
he results of a victor}' by the cocalaitiants
in the case, "We can have
otlung todo." We are,ho said, "dishurging
here a professional duty
urely and are following the instrucions
of our clients in making the apeal.

He was asked whether Gen. Hampton

"No," he replied. "They had
