The STATE CONVENTION.

The capital Of the State on the 4th
inst, bore particularly stirring and
striking aspect Gathered there were
Medes and Parthians, Elamites and
dwellers in Mesopotamia-candidates,
politicians, friends in interest and
spectators-all these making ready
for the fight and the sight. It was
grand outpouring and wildly de-
picted the agreeable fact that the
Democracy is neither sleeping nor
slumbering, but biding the time
when some of her proud and boasted
sons, should bring them to the front,
in the furtherance of their cause.
The grand ovations and memorable
outpourings Of sentiment and acclaim,
when some popular name was spoken,
will long be remembered by those
who were there.
After the organization of the con-
vention the wild bursts of applause,
with which everything pertaining to
Col. Richardson was met, soon dlspel-
led the last shadow of doubt, resting
upon the minds of his friends, some
of whom had begun to fear the result
of possible and probable combina-
tions, against the peoples favorite-
the silver tongue orator from Claren-
don County. He proved as our CO.
temporary, the Ne,cs and Courier
said, "quite as strong as his friends
claimed him to be. After little de-
sultory skirmishing on the part OF
those who had their candidates to
look after, the inevitable was grace
fully accepted, and on the third bal
iaS, Col. Richardson was nominated as
the Democratic Standard Bearer for
the next two years
It would be superAuous to discuss
the merits of our leader in the next
campaign. His reputation as a pol
ished gentleman, and the acknowl-
edged skill with which be discharged
the intricate and important duties In
cident to the Office so long and SO
ably filed by him, leave no doubts as
to the future.
Col. Richardson's nomination has
been most gratifying, to the people
of this county, to which, he and his
Soretathers have been bound with the
strongest ties. The County has ever
delighted to honor them as citizens,
true in every trial, and always found
when wanted. The Hon. j. P.
Richardson viii be the fifth of his
family honored with the distinction
of filing the chair of chief Executive
of the State. It must not surprise any
one then, if Clarendon, taking up the
loud acclaim, echoing from mountain
to seaboara, has utilized every species
of explosives that ingenuity could
bring to light in laundering forth he,
extreme qualification over the nomi.
nation of Clarendon's fortunate son.
The convention did its work very
harmoniously; there was no evidence
of factional discord or the mutteri0gs
of discomfort; and so far from being
heated and bitter contest, as some
prophesied, it was one of the most
quiet ever held, and stands out as
a bold refutation of the charge of in,
fidelity to our cause and country.

PLATFORM OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY

The Democratic party OF South
Carolina, in State Convention assem-
bled, reafirming their allegiance and
devotion to the principles of the Dem
ocratic party, declare the following to
be the principles and policy of the
Democratic party in State and Fed
eral affairs:
1. Wise and just legislation, the
impartial administration ofequal laws,
efficiency with economy in every de-
partment of the State Government
2. Popular education is the bull
wark of free institutions; liberal sup
port for the public schools for the
whole people.
3. The present protective tariff
taxes the many for the benefit of the
favored few. The duties on imports
should be increased. An early re-
peal OF the duty on cotton ties, on the
machinery used in the manufacture
of cotton and wool, and on tools and
agricultural implements, will stimu-
late manufactures and be relief to
the farmers of the country.
4. The public credit, National and
State, must be maintained.
5. In the conduct of affairs in
this State, the Democracy have been
actuated by the desire to promote the
greatest good to the State. Demo
cratic unity is public safety and pri-
vate security.
6. In this State, justice and equal
ity for all to insure harmony and good
Will between the races. In the Union
no sectionalism in policy or feeling
an indissoluble union of indestructa-
bic States; one flag, one country, one
destiny.
On motion of Capt F. W. Dawson,
after heated debate, the following,
carrying out civil service reform, was
added:
Civil service reform, appointments to
minor Offices under tests that will indicate
the qualifications Of the applicant, promo
ton by merit, fixed teuure of Office and no
removals except for cause"

A Substitute for WhaIebone.

The scarcity of whalebone, its high
price. and a demand for an article in its
stead. led Mr.. E. X. Warren to invent
"Featherbone, a substitute prepared
from quilts of geese and turkeys. The
factory is located at Three Oaks, Mich,
and in short space of two years, the en-.
terprise has grown to large industry.
As the discovery brought to existence
new substance, it became necessary to
invent machinery required in its manufac-
ture. These operations have passed the
stage OF experimental existence, and
"Featherbone" is now an article of COM
mercial value. The quilts Of turkeys and
geese only are used. The first process
strips the plumage from the quilts. A set
of revolving knives then divides the quilts
in halves. Rapidly-revolving sand paper
rollers then remove the pith. The quilts
are then passed to an ingeniously con-
structed system of interlocking knives
which reduces them to fibre. These flores
are then fed to a machine which twists
them into a fine cord wrapped with
thread. Another machine wraps four OF
these cords with thread and forms them
into fiat tape. A sewing machine plac-
es row of stitches between each cord,
which gives the tape increased strength
and adds to its elasticity, and the whole is
then passed between two large rollers,
which gives it uniform thickness, and
makes it ready for market. The article is
said to be unbreakable, and II bent
double, will retain its elasticity. In dress
making it possesses the advantage over
whalebone of being lighter. cheaper,
more durable, and needing no casings,a s it
is sewed to the goods. The plumage OF
The feathers is used for making very
good quality of mattresses, and the pith
being shown by analysis to be rich in nj
trogen, is used as fertilizer. About 800
Jobbing houses handle their goods and the
factory gives employment to $50 persons
and consumes 10000 quilts and l25 miles
Of thread daily.

Reign of the Woman.

Nan never appreciates his interiority to
woman so thoroughly as when he stands
before the altar in The presence OF an
audience Of friends, and hears the clergy
man make him husband. Nine out of ten
men in such position trembe as il they
were about TO be arrested for murder,
" bile nine out of ten women 90 through
the ceremony as gracefully as il it were
an every dav occurrence. And it is this
timOrous creature in dress suit that
promises TO protect the calm and placid
angel whose orange blossoms are her
aureole. What delicious sarcasm there
is in the thought! And in after life, when
the husband gets torn up by care, and
when little trouble comes to steal away
his peace of mind, how is it then? The
woman whom he promises to protect be-
comes his protector. She sees sunshine
through the clouds. She smoothes out
the wrnked brow of care. She props
up his tagging spirits. She puts new
lite into his bosom, new hope into his
soul, and he goes forth in the morning
with new strength and new zeal to wrestle
with life and its responsibilities. Woman
may be the weaker vessel, but she isn't
broken up, and doesn't go to pieces, as
soon as man. Baltimore american.

On the whole the health-seeker will do

vary this constantly with chicken. game and

cautious in the use of ouch viands. -CasseFs

& Wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladics, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a
wide reform. Not only the public, but
professional men have adopted, not Who'll
ly, Of course, but largely, Hostctter's sto-
mach Bitters as q safe botanic substitute
for the pernicious alkaloid. The conse-
quences of this change are most impor-
tant. Now fever and ague sufferers are
cured-formerly their complaints were
only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreciable effect, except the doses
were increased. A course of the Bitters,
persistently followed, breaks up the worst
attacks and prevents their return. The
evidence in favor of this sterling specific
and household medicine is Of no ambigu.
GUS character, but positive and satisfacto.
ry, and the sources whence it proceeds are
very numerous.
