The Prohibitionists Put Up a Ful
State Ticket.
TOMPKINS AND TIMMERMAN
They Are Named for the Places They
Now Hold?Capt. Thompson, of
Darlington, Named for Adjutant
Oenerul. t
Joel E. Bruusou, for years au ardent
Prohibitionist, a mau who baa not been
identified with either of tbe political
factions in tbe State, a sound and successful
businoss man, a devoted member
of the Baptist Chnrch, and a man
who stands high in bis borne county-Williamsburg
bas beeu nominated for
Governor of South Carolina by n^represoutative
convention of tbe Prohibitionists
of Koutb Carolina. The selection
was a surprise. Mr. Brunsou's
namo bad not before beeu publicly
; mentioned iu connection with the place.
On the ticket named appears also the
names of two of the present State officers?Secretary
of State Tompkins and
State Treasurer Timinermau. Takou
ull iu all tbe ticket uumed is considered
a strong one. Tbe earnest leader of
the Prohibition forcos, (.'apt. Childs,
bus been given the second place on the
ticket.
Tbe couvontiou was made up of a
representative and intelligent body of
men and everything 'moved along linrmouioil.sly.
There was but little useless
talking. Tho convention was very
particular to let tho world understand
that its fight was to be made liioido the
Democratic party.
There was marked uuauimity of action
; nothing shows this better than the
brief and emphatic platform adopted,
which is as follows:
First. We declare our allegiauce to
tbe regular Democratic party aud our
suggested nominees stand pledged to
abi >> the result of tho Democratic primary
election.
Second. We declare that we are unalterably
opposed to the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic or malt liquors,
except for mechanical, medicinal, scientific
or sucraiueutal purposes.
The convention was quite a representative
aud intelligent body of men. ft
was more largely attended than many
expected. There we:e thirty-two of
the forty counties represented.
.Mr. A. Jones, of Newberry, submitted
the following report of the committee
ou nominations:
"Your committee lias carefully eon
Minorca 1111 uio names suggested and
recommend that tho convention take
up the uuiues separately and determine
the propriety of suggesting the follow
inir ticket to the I'rohibitiouists of
South Carolina in order to promote
harmony and secure unanimity in tho
cuitse of I'rohibitiou.
"l he following are suggested as suitable
and proper candidates in the
Democratic primary for the oilices
named:
(lovernor, .Joel li. lirunson, Williamsburg;
leiutenaut governor, L. I).
Child's Kichlaud; attorney general,
(ieo. S. Mower, Newberry; secretary of
State. I). II. Tompkius, (ireeiiwood;
treasurer, W. H. Timmeriuan, Kdgelield;comptroller-general,
I.. 1'. Kptou,
Spartanburg; superintendent of education,
K. D. Smith, Sumter: udjutaut
and insbecior-general, Henry T. i iiompKoii,
I turliiigtoi:; railroad coinuussioiier.
I hos. W. Herry, Chester. "
Col. liovt was called to tho chair by
Mr. Hriiuson at this juncture.
Mr. i'. .1. LaMotlc moved the adoption
of the report, taking each name
separately.
.\Ir. K. I>. Smith said that tlie committee
bad simply made these suggestions.
Tho committee could act as it
saw tit.
Without remarks the suggestions for
(Jovernor and Lie iteuant - (lovernor
were adopted. And so were all the
others.
A committee was sent out to bring iu
tho nominees.
Mr. Hoggs moved that in case any of
theso candidates should die or decline
to serve, the executive committee be
empowered to till tho vacancies on
tho ticket so occurring. This was
agreed to.
Mr. Moft'att presented t'<o following:
Hesolvod, That the delegates from
each county name a suitable man from
their county to act as cliuiriuan; that
the said chairman bo elected by this
convention; that the said county chairman
lie charged with tho duty of tlior
oiiL'blv organizing thoir respective conn ties
for campaign purposes; that said
county chairmen l>e charged with tho
further duty of having a full ticket for
the (leneral Assembly put in the tield
from their respective eouties, who are
pledged to Prohibition.
After some discussion, Mr. MotTatt
changed the resolution so as to read as
follows, and it was adopted:
U030I veil, That the executive committeemen
from each county be charged
with tho duty of thoroughly organizing
his county to the end that a full ticket
be placed iu tho tield from each county
pledged to Prohibition.
The candidates were then ushered
into tho hall. Pol. Hovt introduced Mr.
Hrunsou in a happy and appropriate
manner.
Mr. Hruuson said they had nominated
him from a combination of cir
ciimstnncos. lie felt his inability to bo
tho chief standard bearer, but he would
do his best. They should go into tiie
tight to win. The subject of prohibition
has boon ono of slow growtti. The
stronger they made their organization,
tho sharper would bo tho conflict. They

for tho Confederate soldier, and
gave a pathetic incident. Ho told of a
schlier who raised hi* sword to heaven

he had rid his coiiutry of its foes.

Vegetation of All Kinds Made Idttls ,

The following is the first of the
weekly bulletins of the woather bureau i
for the crop season of 1 HUH:

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Columbia, S. C., April 13, 18HH.
Tbo weather during February was
steadily cool and dry, the rainfall
amounting to only 34 per cent. of the
normal for tbo Stuto. The actual rainfall
uvcraged 5.4<> iuehes less than the |
normal during January and February, j
uud the deficiency was further increas- j
ed, in places only, duriug March, but
bus been considerably reduced by tho
generous rainfall of April up to date,
which has brought tho total umount
since Mnrih 1st about equal to
the normal for this period
These conditions were favorable for
tho preparation of luiuls during February
and March, which work progressed
rapidly and is now about ten Uavs in
advance of its usual stage for this
date, with fields practically all ready
tor corn and cottoii. Fven bottom lauds
that are usually too wet to be plowed
until about May liuve been in good
condition for working. Planting of the
staple crops wus in advance of the season
up to the beginning of April, since
then the cool weuther uud heavy rains
have retarded this work, especially
over the western portions of the State,
where the ground was frozen hard on
two mornings.
Vegetation of all kinds inudo but little
if any growth during the week as
tho temperatuio fell below ,tho active .
growing point, each night, over a large
portion of the Stuto.
Owing to the fuvorablo weather dur- !
ing March farm work is well advanced
and corn has been planted in portions '
of the State, being practically finished
for early eoru over the more easterly
portions.
Much that was tip was injured by
irosi, tuo uainugo was especially severe
in Horry county.
The usual amount of replanting is
necessary on account of crows ami cut
worms, the latter giviug much trouble
in places during the cool weather. Corn
that had been recently cultivated was
badly hurt by the frost, while fields
m ar by that had not been worked wore
untouched.
Cotton planting has made consider- (
able progress over the eastern counties,
while littlo has been planted over the
western portions or in the extreme
northeast, but the preparation of lands 1
is well advanced and indicates that about
the sanio area will be put in cotton as
last year. As but littlo cotton was up,
the damage by frost was slight, Sea l
island cotton is lip in many places and
looking well.
Kico planting is well advanced, uuusually
so in the lower rice districts, 1
while in the (ieorgctowu fair progress
has been made.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and large
for the senson; very little transplanting ,
lias been done yet, owing to the cool
weather.
Oats aro looking very promising, except
in portions of tne south-eastern
counties, where it was so dry during i
the winter. Frost apparently did not
hurt much, if at all, simply checkod its ,
rapid growth. The saine is true of
wheat, although wheat in places .
turned slightly yellow. As neither 1
wheat nor oats had begun to "joint"
at the time the most sovere frost oc- '
eurrod, tliey will not be materially ,
hart by the freeze.
Melons where up were badly frosted,
and gurden truck in general suffered
more or less in all portions of the State,
oveu in the coast truck districts, where
lrouts in April aro very rare. Pasturage
started to grow very well in March,
but lattorlv has been rather scant. I
Hardens very backward gonerally,
although instances ure reported of remarkably
early maturity. Large ship- j
inents are being made from the Char- 1
leston district of strawberries, beans,
peas and potatoes. J. \V. Batkh, '

LIFE OF ENLISTED MEN.

The life of an enlisted man in the
army, says the New York Herald, is
what he himself makes it. For instance,
n man twenty-one years old.
of sound mind and good health, concludes
to enter tho ariur. He presents
himself at any military post and
tiles his application for enlistment. He
may be a man of ordinary intelligence,
but with little or 110 education. Perhaps
ho can barely read auil write, and
iu some instauc.es he caiydo neither,
ft is the desire iu makingfenlistments
to secure men who cau veall and write.

not absolutely essential f<w^ new reWhen
the recruit prcs?^B himself
at the military rendezvoq^Be is put
through a rigid physical jHninution,
and if he comes up to the requirements
of the service ho is enlisted for
thrt?e years at the rate of $ldn month.
This does not seem like a tempting
compensation to strong, nhlehodied
men of average intelligence, but. us
General Corhin said, a good citizen
should make a good soldier, and a soldier's
life in time of peace is not one
of hardships, as is sometimes imagined.
After being duly enrolled, the recruit
is equipped with pleuty of comiortablo
clothing. Ho is provided
with a good warm bed in comfortable j
barracks. If he is an ignorant man j
he is taught to read and write at the j
post school, and his thirst for additional
knowledge may be quenched at
the post library. If he is inclined to
be convivial;his thirst for some of the
good things of this life may be satistied
at the canteen?the elulisted man's
club. 1
Any one who has visited an army
post knows what is ore tillable at a
canteen. Beer and light wines are
dispensed, but no whiskey is allowed !
by the regulations to be sold. Pre- ]
cautions ure taken to prevent over in- j
diligence, but should the enlisted man j
partake too freely of the good cheer >
dispensed at'.tho canteen lie is obliged |
to suffer the penalty of several hours
in the guard house, with a little extra
duty ou the side, in consequence of
his bre ach of discipline. The soldier
who gets intoxicated at a military
post is better treated than the average
citizen who, after imbibing too freely,
bills into the clutches of the metropolitan
police.
The tirst duty to which a raw re- I
emit is assigned is that known in the !
sorvieo as the "setting up drill." He
is taught to stand erect, how to march,
how to fall in, and, in a general way,
he is instructed in infantry tactics.
All this regular exercise tends to his
physical development, so that while
his mind is being cultivated his physical
development goes steadily on.
Some idea of the routine of a soldier's
life may he obtainec. from this
daily disposition of his time:
lieveille, whiter, ti.30 a. m.: summer. 5.30
a. m.
llrcukfast. winter, 7 a. in.; summer, 0

School (limners' school if ia arlillerv. i
p. in.
Iletreat. sunset.
Supper, inmie diulfdy after retreat.
Tattoo, n p. in.
Tups, It p. ni.
Of course, tlVs schedule is only a
rough indication of the disposition of
the day, since this necessarily varies,
not only with the arm oivtho service,
hut also with the latitudetind the post.
There are also various drills, g-.ieli as
signalling, instruction in first aid to
wounded, etc., taken by only a few
men at a time. On the whole, however.
it may be said tlint a soldier's
time is pretty well tilled until two or
three o'clock ill the afternoon, after
which he is his own master until ret
reat.
In line weather the afternoon is
generally devoted to sports. If the
garrison he near a town many of the
men visit it on passes, but u'pass is
never given to u soldier unless his
record is good, the stoppage of pass

anil forming u jiowerfu! lever in favor
of discipline.
If in the artillery branch of the service
the recruit's advaucemeut will
proceed in accordance with the ability
he displays. After learning how to
handle a musket ho is instructed in
the art of handling liehl pieces. Then,
by degrees, he is taught how to
manipulate mortar batteries, siege
guns, the modern eight, ten and
twelve inch rifles and magazines. [11
a few months a man of ordinary intelligence
is ready for active service at
any of the great seacoast fortifications.
To become skilful artillerists men
are required to possess some knowledge
of arithmetic, must know how to
read barometers and thermometers,
and must also have some knowledge of
the fore3 and effect of the velocity of
the wind. This enter . into the sighting
and firing of heavy ordnance.
Discipline in the army is not as severe
as some persons imagine,although
in some rare instances army martinets
have been known to render miserable
the lives of some of the enlisted men
under tliein. The relations between
the officers and enlisted men are, as a
inle, of the most friendly nature.

in recent years, so that toii

nine nuulc up of otlicers and enlisted
men at almost every army post
in the United States.
Undertbe head of hardships in army
life, it is sometimes necessary to
separate a married man from his fam
ily. To tbat end marriages among en* i
listed men are not encouraged, and in
making onlistmeuts it is considered
desirable to seleot single men in prefer* <
ence to men with families, other <
things being equal. At many of the
army posts enlisted men are married I
uud live with their families. As far t
as he is able, the commanding officer i
of a post give the men quarters by ?
themselves, and their wives perform ?
various duties around the post, such
as washing, dressmaking, etc., and in \
(hat way many a liapny little family is I !
kept united.
Under the army regulations every |
post is a recruiting station, the objeebeing
to effect a saving in transporta- 1
tion. if vacancies occur in one of the '
frontier regiments the officers of that
post are allowed to till such vacancies
locally, or as near the post as possible, j
So is with the stations along the coast. ,

One of the latest public uses for '
Wilton carpet of an extra quality is J
that of the swal? for Uncle Sam's huge i
cannon now being placed on the new ?
battle ships and forts. According to J
ordnance experts the old method of
swabbing cannon with cotton waste or i
like stalls has been very ineffective, J
such fibres failing to properly cleanse .
the interior of the iron monsters. Tt t
is stated that the grade of Wilton re- 1
quired by the ordnance department is .
an eight-inch frame of the fiuest ?
worsted, and that when the cannon is (
swabbed with the material it is again 1
ready for business immediately.
Dealers in short lengths and rem- <
limits, however, must not imagine that 1
Uncle [Saiu wants anything but full '
lengths. He. is very cranky about his
cannon swabs ami. while not ready to
give contracts, would like the mills to
keep Wilton looms well oiled up in
case Spain gets nasty over the Cuban
question. It is believed, in fact, that
with a good supply of eight-inch frame
Wilton on board an American battleship
would feel almost equal to confronting
two Hritish battleships of tho
same tonnage and armament. ?American

A few years ago an Irishman, fresh

as porter, messenger and manof-all-work
in a New York store. It
happened to be the last day of the

"Here, Fat." ho said at noon, "go
out and post these bills. Where?
Oh yes; I forgot that you were still a
