THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

IhE NEfUBLlCAN SlAIE CUNtENIlONs
Last Friday the State Republican
Central Committee met in the Teft
House, Topeka, to arrange for q State
Convention and issue q cal! therefor.
All but one of the committee were pres.
ent, and many prominent members OF
the party were in Topeka during the
ssssion Of the committee. The question
ofrepresentation to the convention came
before the body and was thoroughly dis
cussed by the members. The opposition
to the new apportionment came mostly
from the eastern tier of counties, but q
final vote decided in favor of this just
system-8 to 6. Several plans we're dis
cussed, but the Committee finally de-
cided upon the plan recommended by
the JOURNAL last week, with q difference
in the fractional representation. One
delegate to each 800 votes was appor-
toned, but instead of making the frac-
tional vote not less than $50 votes, the
committee made it not LESS than so
votes. By the reduction the Central and
Western counties have gained larger
representation than those in the east,
and We are certainly we'll satisfied.
The business of this plan was conceded
by all of the members, yet We cannot
feel surprised that the Eastern members
of tho committee should oppose it be-
cause the section they represent loses
control of the Republican party in this
State. We believed that this plan was
just and secured to the voting members
OF the Republican party that represen.
tation to which they are entitled. To
secure this, the JOURNAL opened the dis
cussion of the subject as soon as tho
meeting of tho Central Committee was
called, hoping that the editors through.
out the State would give their views, but
the ominous silence on the subject Of
the Eastern State papers warned the
West that . fight would be made
against it. Qn the west ws believe the
Russell Advance Was the only paper op-
posed to the change). In this We were
mistaken.
However much satisfaction there may
b 70 .us in the adoption of this plan, We
wish to accord to MIR. p. Q. Bond, the
member from this district and Secretary
of the Committee, the credit which his
unosasing and successful efforts entitled
HIM TO. He had studied the matter
thoroughly and went to Topeka prepar
cd to gam tho point. The result is what
be desired.

Notice, Grangers!

We have now on hand full supply OF
acid and several hundred ton of guano
in transit. The Executive Committee
have taken every precaution to purchase
both the acid phosphate and guano of
the very best and highest brands. We
also have en- route limited supply of
ground bone, but none of the phosphate
flour, as such thing cannot be had in
Charleston. Now, it remains for you all
to be true to your order. Cooperate
with the Pomona Grange, which has done
so much for the whole county in this par
ticular line. Prices of all fertilizers have
been reduced full one-half in the short
space of four years, and it only remains
for you all to be faithful, and the time is
near at hand when this article can be
purchased from first hands at reasonable
prices. There is a full supply of acid
phosphate at all points from Walhalla to
Honea Path, and up to Greenville, and
by applying at either of these points
your wants will be supplied.
