| ing gentleman had struck the Keynote TO
the situation. He was opposed to divid-
ing tho people as classes. "South Caro-
lima is one and indivisable." No interest
in the State should be neglected. He was
in sympathy with the State convention if
it confined itself to the interests Of the
agriculturist. The government of South
Carolina was not extravagant. It is hon
est and economical. Col. Rucller then
launched OFF on the tariff and national
issues.
at the conclusion Of Col. Ruckers re.
marks, Mr.. ]. c. Watkins said "We seem
to be in bad fix. It's just as expected.
feared that if we got to speaking the
convention would be captured by the pol
siticians, and that is just what has happen
ed. Mr.. Watkins stated that Col. r. w.
Simpson had had some correspondence
with Mr.. Tillman, and he hoped the con-
vention would hear from him.
Col. Campbell's motion to reconsider
was called for and adopted
Mr. g. W. Miller moved to adjourn, but
the motion was lost.
Col. r. W. Simpson, being called upon,
responded by saying that he had been a
farmer, but was not engaged in that ayo-
cation now. He endorsed the objects Of
the State convention heartily. In the
North man had the privilege Of joining
the party that best suited his interests.
Not SO here. We had nothing but the
Densocratic party, and had to work inside
its ranks. Farmers had not taken much
interest in public affairs, but they were
now going to awake up, and bring their
interests up to an equal footing with other
interests. They wero not going to drag
auy other interest down. If this move
ment is directed right it will accomplish
good. There must be some organization
of the farmers to make their influence
felt. Was in favor of an agricultural col
lege such as existed in Michigan and
other States. The Agricultural Depart
ment should be put in the hands of men
who were qualified to run it. There was
nothing wrong in this movement of the
farmers.
Mr.. R. P. Clinkscales, being called
upon, arose and said: "Mr Chairman, I
had made motion to adjourn" and say
ing this he turned as if to begin o speech,
but voice in the audience seconded tho
motion to adjourn. 1t was loudly called
for, and being put to the convention was
| unanimously adopted, amid roara OF
laughter.

Mr.. Robt. Mattox, while in the store Of
Taylor. & VanWyck last Saturday after
noon, shot himself through the hand with
pistol He had had some words with
some one in the store, and it is believed
he was attempting to get his pistol from
his pocket to shoot the party when it
fired, though no one saw the pistol until
it's report was heard. He claimed, how
ever, that it was all accident. Mattox was
drunk. The wound, though painful, was
not serious.

advertisement from that popular and

stock of groceries is always full, and en-
braces nothing but reliable goods. No
one who has patronized this house has
ever regretted it, and they always went

Of music and the art Of painting, and
always has large number of pupils in

reasonable, and every parent who desires
these accomplishments for their daugh-

The PrOhIbIffonist Idea.

What do you think of the temperance
plank in the Republican platform ?"
Robert J. s. White, chairman of the Es-
sex County Prohibition Committee, was
wading mentally through a mass of letters
this morning when the question Of the day
Was projected at him.
Il hardly know what % think, said Mr..
White. i have studied that plank, but |
cannot see that it means anything in par
%ticular,. The plank states that the Repub-
lican party is in favor Of submitting the
question of the regulation, control or pro-
hibitiolI Of the liquor traffic to the votes OF
the people. In the first place the couven-
ton only declared itself III favor OF sub
hitting the question to the people. 1t does
not pledge itself d. it ices on other ques-
tions. Then or is the most conspicuous
word in the sentence to the mind Of a man
who is trying TO find out just what the au-
thor WAS driving at. To submit the ques-
ton of tile regulation, control or prOliibi-
ton, means that the Republican party can
simply ask the people TO vote on i simple
80 license bill and still fulfil all the obi
cations entailed upon it by that plank.
think that the declaration is a eunningly
devised piece of literature, capable OF be-
ing interpreted into different meanings ac-
cording TO the locality. To carry out this
schema the Republican, parry has estab-
lisiied TWO headquarters, one IN Trenton
and tiic other IN Newark. One Of them
works the temperance dodge, thc other the
whiskey racket. Oar people meet the en-
~issaries of the party everywhere in South
Jersey. They are telling the people there
that the plank means absolute prohibition.
Here in Essex county they say through
their agents and their " newspapers that
the plank means nothing, that governors
do not make laws, etc"
DO you think that the language OF the
plank will decrease your vote in Noyem-
Der -
Decrease it? No. our party is as
solid as a rock. do not Think it will pre-
vent our gaining new recruits in South J.r-
sey. Political tics are like those OF relig-
ion. The cunning work of the Republic
cans in South jersey ia declaring that their
State Convention meant nothing but pro-
hibition solely and entirely will hold many
people ithin their ranks who believe them
and many more who are blind. "-Xeseark.

there may be seen the Rogue's Gallery, a
collection of photographs of connterfeiters;
a curious display of counterfeit money; the
beautiful Cash room, inlaid with colored
United States, Uncle Sans strong box;
the gallery containing the pictures Of all
the Secretaries of the Treasury; the display
of letters relating to the Conscience Fund,

may be seen there. Ii consists of a mum
Der of articles of jcwelry, silverware,
watches, portraits, etc, that We're cap
tured by the L. S. Army during the war,
and deposited in the Treasury. There are
many valuable and costly ornaments.
Some Of the gold is of the best quality.
There is one handsome set of exquisitely
cut canoes, surrounded 10y pearls. One
box is filled with rings, brooches buckles,
pins and lockets. all nf pure native gold.
Some of the jewelry is broken, and gives
evident signs of having been collected in
great haste. One of the most curious
things in the collection is an old fashioned
English bulls eye gold watch, with its
crystal a quarter of all inch thick. There
are also some seals, craven with heraldic
devices; and a numb;r of precious stones,
diamonds, pearls, topazcs, and others. The
articles are waiting for some one to claim
them and prove their ownership.

The Salem County Republican organs
manifested a great deal of religious indig-
nation at the fact that the County Board
Of Agriculture passed a resolution oppos-
ing the election of the attorneys and Off
Gals of great corporations to the United
States Senate and seemed to think that the
Board had no right 10 meddte with mat
tiers political in that way. On the same
principle we have been looking for our
brethren of the Standard and South Jersey
man to give J. II, Real, President Of the
National Agricultural and Dairy Associa-
ton, particular fits on account of his cir
culars with which lie is flooding this State
frantically exhorting the farmers to vote
against the Democratic candidates on ae-
count of their supposed opposition to the
bogus butter bill. But they don't do it
all the same. The fact is that so long as
the farmer, the preacher, or any other
class or profession is on ''our side" in pol
tiles. it is all right, but as soon as he opens
his head ON the other side he is all wrong.
We notice, however, n tendency on the
part of the farmers and pre- acliers and
else to do as they please, regard
less of what the partisan organs think,
which to our mind appears to be about the
best course to pursue.

How VIII yeu Vote?

None can lift their eyes aud see oyer the
country, bnt they see that a great question
Is up for settlement. When We before
fought the great question,-Life Of the
Slave question or of tie Republic. we de-
cided with God and settled with the Re-
public, Now another question is here, We
shall once more choose with God and for
the Republic. The child is born that
shall see tie last legalized saloond door shut.
4 man that votes with the license party
helps Ia put life in the saloon. Childhood
is being debauched every year, the air of
midnight is heavy with woman's signs and
damp with children's tears. The sober
citizen says, Where shall I GO o st,nd up
for my wife and children and my
home - And l ask men Of brain and
heart and clean hands: Where are you
going to vote Can you Yot. with those
who are pledged to the saloon ard 10 pull
down the home?" You say YOU can't
stand on only one issue, but that depends
upon tie size OF the issue. Drunkenness
is a personal sin that rots the tissue and
ruins the soul, but license is a national sin,
and a government is a failure that cannot
reach down TO the lowest aaa weakest and
help them up and compel tie highest 10 do
right. Close your ear to party cry, and
listen 10 women aud children. In God's
hour when Gods feet have touched the
hills, may God help you 10 stand right and
vote for God and Home and Native land
