The Baptist State Convention al

The Baptist State Convention as
sembled in Greenville on last Thursday
morning, at ten o'clock, and in the alb.
.sence of Col. B. w. Edwards, Of Oar.
slington, occasioned by serious illness,
was called to order by the Vice President,
Mr.. Thomas P. Smith of Charleston.
About one hundred and fifty delegates
were present. The Convention organ
lied by electing Col. Jas. A. Hoyt
President by unanimous vote. Rev.
John Stout, was elected Vice-P-asident
Rev. A. s. J. Thomas, Secretary; Mr..
A. B. Woodruff, Assistant Secretary
and Statistical Secretary; and Prof. O.
ii. Judson, Treasurer. The Convention
Sermon was preached on Thursday night
by Rev. G. B. Moore, of Darlington, who
is 8 young man Of great power and abil'
ity. On Friday morning Rev. John
Stout submitted the report OF the Com
mittee of the Woman's Mission Society
which was adopted, after which he re-
ported from the Trustees of Furman
University that they had determined to
eadeayor. to raise permanent endow'
'msnt for the University, and to that end
had elected Rev. r. II. Griffith financial

The Board of Commissioners of the
public schools of Charleston has unani.
mously elected Hon. Charles d. Simon
ton of that city chairman. In presenting
Col. Simonton's name as the nominee for
successor to the late Mr.. Memminger,
Maj. Julian Mitchell paid him a richly
merited compliment when he said "that
to those who knew Col. Simonton it was
unnecessary to speak Of his qualifications.
The position required much of ones time
and a devotion to the great interests of
education. These interests had no greater
friend than the gentleman whom he
nominated. Liberal culture had received
his aid in the services he gave to the
reorganization of the South Carolina
University. The position the public
schools hold to-day in the esteem of the
community is in great measure due 60 his
active friendship. His long public life,
the care he had always shown for the
welfare of the city, would make it q
pleasure for the board to ask him to
extend his usefulness in accepting trust
which could be made full of blessings,
not only for those of to day, but especial.

crops, the war in Europe, and the in.
creased earnings of the railroads west,
with the probable settlement of the long
and disastrous railroad war-all these in
fluences have helped the market; and it
may be that Mr.. Clews is right, and that
the boom has come to stay until it gets
ready to leave.
Two singular cases of boycotting have
occurred here, one in New York and the
other in Brooklyn, which will undoubtedly
call more general attention to this system
than anything that has yet taken place.
Mr.. Hitchcock, the proprietor Of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, employed a number
of men to paint in his house. These
men, though perfectly satisfactory to Mr..
Hitchcock, were not Union painters, and
the Union demanded their discharge.
Mr.. Hitchcock refused, and the result is
that an order to boycott the hotel has
gone out; men are stationed about the
street requesting people not to patronize
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and threatening
to boycott every person who does 80 far,
however, the effect has not been felt, as
only one patriot has been reached by its
influence, and that is Ben Butler.
The other is more remarkable. The
keeper of a German restaurant employs
a number of walters, and these walters do
not belong to the Walters Union. A
demand was made on them to join, and
as they had been in the employ of Mr..
Louis A. Phillips for several years, they
resolved not to join. Then demand
was made on MIR. Phillips that he dis.
charge them, and employ Union men in
their places; this Mr.. Phillips refused to
do, saying that this was free country,
and his men could join or not just as
they pleased. On this the order to boy
cott Mr. Phillips has gone forth-not be-
cause he is not paying ample and salts
factory wages, not because his employees
are not perfectly satisfied with their en-
ployer, and he with them, but because
be will not compel them to join an asso-
citation with which they have no sympa.
thy. 1t is a singular state of affairs in
free country, to say the least.
Yours truly,
BRoADBRIM.

It is now stated that Gen. Malone is
to retire from the Senate for the public
good, and to become general manager of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. We
presume the stockholders of this road
must contemplate going into bankruptcy,
if this be true, for Malone is 6rst-class
wrecker. He has already wrecked one
Virginia Railroad, and has just stranded
the Republican party of Virginia. We
have no doubt that he can be equally
successful in winding up the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad.

Hudson in Columbia, and all of the
parties were admitted to bail by him in
the sum of five thousand dollars each.
Opinions vary very much as to the prob.
able future of this case many, believing
that it will never be brought to trial,
though we think it very probable that
some of the defendants will be tried and
promptly acquitted, after which the other
cases will be not pressed. We do not
remember any case iu which party has
ever been convicted of murder after
being bailed In this State.

/ The Voice, the national organ of the
prohibitionists, says that an extensive
campaign for 1886 has been organized
for the South. A prohibition lecture
bureau has been established which pro.
poses to send Southern speakers to
Northern States and Northern speakers
to Southern States. At a recent nesting
of the bureau $4,000 was appropriated
for the Southern campaign of 1886, and
arrangements were made for the delivery
of 800 addresses by 81 PERSONS. We do
not want any prohibition canvass in the
South. Il will be very unfortunate for
us to permit prohibition to become q
State issue in any Southern State. All
that we want is to have County option all
over the South as they have in Georgia,
and will have in Virginia. Then there
will be no trouble. The people will in
that way be enabled to regulate the
matter as they may deem best, and
politics need not enter into the consider
alton. If our Legislators are wise they
will not make political question of
prohibition by refusing to let the people
determine the matter for themselves, but
will avoid this danger by referring the
matter to the voters in all Counties in
which there is strong demand for such
reference. Unless this is done the matter
is sure to give trouble politically, and
those who refuse to leave it to the people
will be responsible for that trouble.

change in the money market.

wholesale groceries, and collections are re-
ported fair.
The dry goods business has kept up well.
the business for July having exceeded that

The drug market has been well sustained
and is fairly active. Large sales of senega
root are reported by one house at low prices.
Alcohol is scarce and likely to 90 higher.
Russia Castor lower. Turpentine firm at
the advance.
A very satisfactory business has been
done in wholesale clothing, and trade has
been very good in the hat and cap line.
The boot and shoe trade during July was
large, much exceeding the same period last
year.
The leather trade remains steady. The
same activity prevails in the hardware trade.
there being an enormous demand for all
staple articles.
The wholesale wine and liquor merchants
report trade improving.
Large bills of lumber have been filed.

harvest prices are expected to take a sharp
advance.
Large supplies of fruit have been re-

indeed.
The various branches of the retail trade
report business quiet.
