The principal business before the colven
ton was the nomination of county officers,
and as this election was by ballot and nee
essarily long and tedious the delegates did
not maintain the best of order With the
exception of one delegate and one spectator,
however, the order was as good as could
have been expected. The court house was
crowded all the time, the spectators frequent
ly crowding in among the delegates.
Considering the hard fought fight and the
clearly drawn lines between the Ants and
the Tillmanites, we unhesitatingly accord
high praise to the Anti men for their con-
servatiye course in the convention. They
only voted when they saw proper to do So;
and whenever any issue was sprung between
the two factions they placed themselves on
record rs opposed to Tl.man; yet they did
not by any dilatory tactics attempt to block
the work Of the convention, or endeavor in
any way to antagonize the Tillman men,
other than by placing their votes on record.
NJ. C. Galluchat Esq, presented the fol-
lowing resolution and its adoption was ap-
proprlately advocated by him:
WHEREAS, at the State Democratic conven
tior assembled in Columbia on August 13,
1890, new State executive committee was
elected by said convention; and, whereas,
the old State committee, which has been su-
perseded thereby, is presuming to hold over
as the legally constituted Democratic execu-
tive committee Of the State,
"Resolued, That it is the sense Of the Dem
ocratic party Of Clarendon county now in
convention assembled that the said newly
elected Democratic committee Of the August
convention, is the legally constituted and
authorized executive committee OF the DEM
ocratic party of South Carolina.
John S. Wilson, Esq. in behalf of the
Ants, moved that in order to give those who
were opposed to the resolution an opportu-
nifty to make their opposition matter OF
record, that the ayesand nays be taken. and
that as the roll of the clubs was called the
chairman of each delegation announce the
vote of his delegation. The motion was
adopted. Fifteen Tillman clubs, aggregat-
ing 63 votes, favored the adoption of Mr.:
Galluchat's resolution, and the ten Anti
clubs, namely, Alcolu, Clarendon, Deep
Greek, Foreston, Fork, Friendship, Fulton,
Harmony, Manning, and Sandy Grove, ag-
gregating twenty-six votes, opposed the res
olution. The president then declared the
resolution adopted by vote of GS to 26.
The convention then adjourned.

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets infamed
yon have a rumbhng sound or imperfect
hearing, and when tits entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, shearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases ont of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inaamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Tae President Of Jordan Club Explains.

EDrros MANNING TnEs:-Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to make a
statement in regard to the correspondence
from Manning to the News and Courier
headed, s.Dirty work in Clarendon"
On the evening Of August 22nd paper
was brought to my store, addressed to ''Ihe
president and members Of Jordan Demo
crafsesln land delivered to me. Upon
opening it found it to be q request from
lessrs. D. G. Shorter. j. NJ. Shorter, and
II. Gaymon that their names be stricken
from the roll of the Jordan club. ], very
naturally, asked the bearer Of the paper If
he knew what had induced them to take this
step, and he gave me, in substance, the fol-
lowing information:
Nh. D. G. Shorter, who is possessed of
considerable property, had been told by a
gentleman from Manning, who spent the
day with him, that if Tillman was elected
governor Of South Carolina the property Of
the rich would be taken from them and d.
yided with the poor My informant believed
that Mr.. Shorter accepted this rumor as
truth and was so worked up by it that,
without any hesitancy, he signed the paper
refaSre6 to above, and was joired IN this
scsioa BY Messrs. j. NJ Shorter and r. 81.
sGaymon. The two latter named gentlemen
told my informant that they regarded the
property-confscation rumor as an Anti
canard, and requested that I erase their
names from the paper, as they desired to
continue their membership with the Jor-
dan Democratic club. Upon this informa-
ton certificate No 2" was written and car
-ied by me (the party unknown to CORES
ponaent of News and Courier) to MIR. J N.
Shorter. I read it to him, saw him
read it, and left it with him until Sat
urday morning. August 23rd. II was
signed by him and Mr. Gaymon, both Of
and meaning, and returned to me next
morning. The affirmation of MIR. J. NJ.
Shorter in his affidavit that he did not read
nor hear read this certificate is something
that do not understand and will not try to
explain. He afirms further that told him
that had heard that the property of the
rich was to be divided with the poor and
had sent q man to correct it. most posi-
lively assert that said no such thing, but
/ did tell him that had been informed tina!
there was danger of fifteen or more mem
bers of our club leaving to join other clubs
and had sent man to see some OF the
members and urge upon them the impor
tance Of attending the club meeting next
day, and to tell those who could not attend
to sign certificate acknowledging then
membership in the club. This is plain,
unvssnished statement of what has been
termed dirty work." and it is left with
your readers to determine who is response
bic for it.
The correspondent of the World stated
in his communication to that paper that
this matter was brought before the Jordan
club and created mnch CONSERVATION and
surprise. This is mistake, as it was moi
mentioned in our club meeting. In eonclu
sion Twill say that, in my opinion. the whole
matter has been brought about by misun
6erstanding on the part of the Messrs
Shorter and Mr.. Gaynon. c. n. DAVIS.

day. His body was found on the
floor, near the door of his room,

remains were brought to Columbia
Che following day, and buried with
great honors. He was in the seventy
seventh year of his age.
Clarendon county will not go on

ting a split. Our white citizens are
Democrats, tried and true, and while
some of them do not ike to support
Afr. Yllman, yetsince they see it is
now an assured fact that he vii! be
the regular Democratic nominee tor
governor, they have like true Demo

will soadly rally round the Democrat

The News and Courier issued last
Monday their annual trade review OF
Charleston. It shows that during the
past year Charleston has done over
$50, 100000 of business, an increase
OF nearly 100000 over last yeal.
There was decrease in the cotton
marketed of 100000. This should
not be SO, and unless Charleston does
handle cotton to better advantage for
the farmers, she will handle still less
the present year. The review is care
fully and neatly gotten up, and IS a
ereditable showing.

Worthless Goods.

AT present lot Of agents represent
ing Chicago dry goods and grocery
houses are making the rounds of the
country and are taking orders. The
farmers are made TO believe that by
purchasing job lots they are getting
great reductions on goods. These "oily-
tongued' agents claim, of course, their
goods to be of the very best grade,
while in fact they are very inferior. A
few farmers have been duped in this
way and have ordered job lots of goods
which are 10 be delivered within few
months. In some instances part pay
ment in advance is required. The
farmers are very indignant and threat
en- to treat the agents with severity if
they do not skin out.
North Dickinson seems to be an es-
peclally favorite stamping ground for
the rascals and every farmer to whom
they come should politely bnt firmly
show them the door.

were paid before the expiration of the
time allowed. Upto Jan. 1st, 1913, 06S.-
20 had been paid in cash and there is
over 81 900 in the vaults in unadjusted
amounts which will make the total
taxes paid.over 500, 600, showing that
the farmers of Dickinson county are
already feeling the influence of the
good times which are at hand.
