A Good Suggestion.

The States are moving to secure a
representation in the Philadelphia
Convention. Missouri has already
acted; primary meetings are being
held in our sister State of North
Carolina, and in others of the South
ern States; and it is high time, if the
people of this State desire to be rep
resented in the Convention, which
meets in q month from now, that the
preliminary steps to that end should
be taken.
The Charleston Courier suggests
that the Senator'S and Representa-
tives of that District shall call pub
lie meeting to appoint delegates to a
Convention to be held III this city,
and we take the liberty of repeating
the suggestion to the Senator and
Representatives from Richland Dis
trict, and hope it will be promptly
acted on, not only in this District,
but in others, so that full Conven-
ton may be held in Columbia, ut the
time suggested by the Governor.
That Convention can appoint the
time and manner Of appointing dele
gates to Philadelphia. 1t is for the
people to act.

much of that domain rs may satisfy
their cupidity or lessen tho private
subscription of the stockholders to
their respective enterprises. 1t is
unjust to the present generation, rs
such Legislation must increase the
burden of taxes, and it is unjust to
posterity, as they will be bequeathed
an enormous public debt-and all
through radical legislation.

TIE CONVENTION Chester
.Nhu"hu'L, of the 18th, concludes an
article on the Convention as follows:
Let the South be represented by
.>""fl",m men, even if they fought
under the Confederate banner. These
very men are far more to be trusted
than those who are now trucking to
the scrptrc OF power and vauuting
their allegiance. Generals Hampton
and hcrshaw, Ex-Governor Perry
and Mr.. Trrl.holm. of Charleston,
would nobly and worthily represent
the State ut large, and fearlessly and
ably present her claims for recogni-
ton.
'-As public meeting Of the citi-
Zcns OF this District has been sum
moncd on Monday, the 10Th instant,
we would suggest that the invitation
OF the Governor be responded to on
that occasion, and that delegates be
appointed to the State Convention to
assemble III Columbia on the lst day
of August. As the matter is of such
vital importance to our interests, we
hope to see Il full and general attend
unce.

CuESTEl. The STAFFORD saws:

The intense heat Of the past week,
with the long continued drought,
have sadly damaged the crops and
abridged the prospects of our plant
crs. Several of the most experienced
and practical planters of this District
pronounce the opinion that the yield
Of corn VIII be less even than during
the dry ycHr of 1915. Should their
fears hrrealizcd, great destitution and
actual suffering will be the result.

WHAT They ALL WANT. 1t is the
infirmity of the crowned heads of
Europe, just now, to be afflicted with
something more than the average
wants" of covetous man-and to
obtain those wants, the most of them
are taking up arms, and leading their
subjects to mutual slaughter.
Let us see:
Prussia wants Holstein, and to
diminish the Austrian influence in
Germany.
Austria wants Holstein to be Let
alone, and Count Bismark to mind
his own business.
Victor Emanuel wants Venctia. He
also wants the Emperor of Austria to
take himself out of Northern Italy
altogether
Louis Napoleon wants the Rhine
for French frontier He also wants
to upset the "detcstcd treaties" OF
1915. BE expects to have that want
gratltied as soon as opportunity offers,
which, according to present appear.
ances, will not be long.
The Gar of Russia has a littl,
want, too. He wants slice of Tur.
key, which would add the Moldo
Wallachian provinces to his already
huge territory. The Bear is Il hungry
ravenous creature, but he never
springs until he is sure of his prey
Like the Gallic Cock, he will be ;
locker on at the start, and only com,
into the ring when the original com
batants are so used as to be incapable
of saying nay to him.
The ''people" have their wants, too
but alas! their timo is not yet come
They are the mere pawns on tho
chess board, and must be content tc
want" nothing until the Kings pla,
ont, to the end, their bloody game
When that will be, or what it Will be
no man can tell, but it is worth living
few years longer to see how the
thing is going to be played out.
