STATE DEMOCRATIC CONveN-
TON TO MEET.

Attitude of TiIIman and His Followers.
Probable Action of the Majority OF the
Negroes-A split Seems Almost Int, ita-
BILE.
CHARLESTON, :. c., Aug. i2.-The state
Democratic Convention. which meets at
Columbia tomorrow. will decide whether
there will be split in the party or not.
rillman has 2j3 out Of the 32c delegates,
and it is generally thought he will try TO get
the nomination, although the csnyention il
called to decide whether the -. e officers
shall be nominated by primary or conven-
ton plan.
II the primary plan il moi adopted a
split will doubtless follow. for many Of
the county delegations are elected both TO
the present convention and the convention
in september. which is to nom.nate officers.
These elections are declared Illegal by the
Democratic Executive Committee, and
such delegates will not BE- recognized in
September by the regular Democracy.
Since Tilman's canvass of the state the
regular Democrats have perfected 0rganiza-
tiOns in almost every county, and are pre-
pared 10 night 10 finish. There Will he. in
iact. TWO l'emOcratic conventions IN session
i'm Columbia tomorrow for the Straight-Out
Democracy will be- there in force. In fact,
they are already on the ground.
\ good deal has been said about the negro
vote. Prominent Republican leaders now
openly say that there will be- no Republican
state ticket in the iield, but the negroes, il
they take any part in the election. will GER
tainly not vote with the Iillmanltes. II il
known that the negroes have been used by
the Tillmanites in making up the Demo-
cratic rolls on which representation in the
county convention i based. hut IL it comes
to split the majority of the negroes will
vote against 1illman with the more con-
seryatiye white voters Of the state. On the
whole it looks like. split whichever way
the cat Jumps.

THE SPEED LIMIT REACHED. Or
The Railroad Locomotive of To daV Has
Done Its Best.

In regard to the much-discussed question
as to the rapidty with which a locomotive
oan run, says the Electrical Review, some
interesting official figures have been given
by Mr.. StrettOn, an eminent English en-
gineer, showing briefly that the highest
speed ever accurately taken was with a
Bristol and Exeter brOadgau-e engine,
having nine-toot wheels, and which was.
rs long ago As lsj3, officially timed nj
speed Of Just over eighty miles an hour for a
short distance. this occurring IN the case oi
a falling gradient, and with a light road
lie also distinctly asserts that THIS speed i
the maximum that can possibly be or
tanned with locomotives Of the present type.
the cause Of this being, he declared, that at
such a speed As that the resistance OF ihe
air. the back pressure in the cy linders' and
the friction altogether have become so great
that they absorb the whole power OF theen-
zine, while the pressure on the wrong SIDE
Of the piston becomes doubly increased by
the tact that the exhaust steam cannot be
cot out of the cylinders fast enough.
