The March Convention.

1t is to be hoped that every county
in the State will send full and
strong delegation to tho convention
proposed to be held at Columbia in
( March. The successful achievement
y in the near future, of the reforms
advocated, will depend in great
measure on the wisdom and conscr-
vatism of this convention. Hence
tho great necessity of every county
being represented by its best men
( who can and will see to it that
nothing is done of radical and
revolutionary character. An ounce
OF prevention is worth pound of
cure.
We view the proposed convention
and its work from the standpoint of
friend and advocate Of most of the
reforms which it seeks to accomplish.
As such we desire to sec no split in
the Democratic party, believing that
the best way to effect all needed
reforms is i'll and through the rcgu-
larly constituted machinery of the
party. Therefore let all nomina-
tions for State officers be made in
the Democratic State Convention,
after full, fair and impartial dis
Nf n,,l
campaign ordered for that purpose.
The people want light before they
decide the issues of principle in our
State policy, and that plan is the
best which gives all an opportunity
of forming an intelligent decision
between men and measures.
Two years ago the demand was
general for the State campaign
before any nominations for officers
were made, and this demand was
made in behalf of The reforms now
so much desired. Let this plpp ~

Wt,ations would subject the advo-
,.,tcs of reform to the very same
criticism which was made by them
OF their opponents two years ago.
Let consistency and conservatism
find a place in all that is said and
done in the March Convention.
Mr.. Il. w. Shclor, Chairman Of
the Oconcc County Executive Com
mittcc, calls the meeting for this
county, at Walhalla, on salcsday

pie send up strong and fr" dclcga-
tions to take part in the deliberations

SHEFFIELD, ALA, February IL
Sheffield is to-day celebrating the
first shipment OF iron from Alabama
to Pittsburg, Pa, by bargcs via the
Tennessee and Ohio rivers. The
present shipment is 5000 tons and
is taken by nine bargcs which are
towcd by the steamer "Percy Kcl-
scy." The rate of freight is $3.50
per ton which is so much less than
the rate by rail that it effects the
iron trade Of the entire country. In
tcrcst in the matter in this section is
very great, and it is expected that
arrangements will at once be made
to market the entire supply of Shef-
fields five furnaces by this route.

sion is happy one for Sheffield and

The New Code of Congressional
Rules.

On Friday last the Code of Rules
for the transaction of business in the
House of Representatives Of the
tifty-tirst Congress were adopted by
strict party vote. Some important
changes have been made from the
rules which have heretofore gov
cmed tho deliberations Of th;s body
since the foundation Of our go, crn-
mcnt. The principal changes are
U that no dilatory motion shall be
entertained by The Speaker; (2) the
Speaker can count members present,
but not voting, in order to conSti-
tutc quorum to Ito business; (3) Il
quorum in committee of the whole
shall consist OF one hundred mem
bors. These changes appear ut first
blush to be simple and reasonable,
but they are really very wi,lc-rcach-
ing and revolutionary in their char
actcr. They have been adopted by
the Republican majority in order to
handicap the Democratic minority,
and enable the Republicans to enact
laws by a strict party vote for the
depletion of the national treasury
and the pcrpctuation OF themselves
in power.

crs. The object of this meeting is
to elect delegates to the convention
called to meet in Columbia in March.
Our farming interests seem some
what on the upgrade and undoubt-
cdly some of the credit of the
change for the better is due to the
work Of the Alliance. They teach
economy in expenditures and 10y bor-
rowing money at low rates and buy
ing in bulk their supplies cost them
much less than on former plans, and
thoy dispense with unneccssarics.
Another good crop year, for which
all seem preparing, and our people
will be on a solid footing.
Our town, too, ust now is on the
upgrade, if the building of new and
the Improvement Of old houses is
any sign. Several neat cottages are
going up in different parts of town
and the organization of building
and loan association in which the
young men arc taking stock fore
shadows the building of more.
While the winter trade has not
been I'LL the merchants could desire,
it has been fair and they are laying
in their stocks, seemingly with fair
prospects, Just now most Of the
trade seems to be in fertilizers and
provisions, but later on spring weather
will call for spring goods.

condition, the attendance being lar

Dick lIawcs has made another
confession. a telegram from Birm-
ingham, Ala, of February 10Th,
says: Dick Hawes wrote two letters,
one to Miss May story,a e young lady
whom he married in Columbus, and
the other to Ed. Weaver, of Marion,
Ind. lie gave them unstampcd to
Deputy Gus Ellard, who turned them
over to Sheriff Smith, and he opened
them. Both said that when re-
ceivcd the writer would be dead,
which plainly meant that IIawcs
intended to commit suicide. The
letter to Miss Story said that his
late confession, in which he claimed
that he paid John Wylic to kill his
wife and Irene, was false. lie did
it to get even with Wylic, who had
once, while both were in Jail here,
betrayed a plot that Hawcs and other
prisoners had on foot to escape.
Some days ago lIawcs made con
fession to Deputy Dave Smith, on
the lattcr's promise to tell nothing
till he had been dead three days. In
that confession lIawes said he paid
Wylie and Fannie Bryant to kill
Mrs. Hawes and little Irenc. lie had

of the State. He is in position TO
bring about very marked develop
ments in the material progress of
the State, and his heart is in the
work. He is an Albanian of whom
Atlanta is proud, and a Georgian
who will impress the importance of
his labor on the history of the State.
The following quotation, taken
from his admirable address at the
Chamber of Commerce banquet last
Thursday night, serves as the text
on which his argument was based,
and the speech is one that ought to
be widely read, for it contains a val
liable lesson for the South. Mr.. Cal
houn said
"Thc day is not far distant when
a population of n quarter of q mill
ion will crowd the streets of this
city, when places now unnamed will
be the sites of vigorous manufacture
ing towns, when Chattanooga, and
Birmingham, and Knoxville, and
Memphis will be great and import.
ant cities, the seats of splendid en-
terprises; when our South Atlantic
ports, from Norfolk to Brunswick,
will feel the quickcning influences
of commercial prosperity, and when
the commerce Of this section will
again flow through their harbors,
making them rs relatively more i'm
portant rs they were in earlier days,
as the prosperity and wealth of this
section in the future will be greater
than it was in the past. And through
it all we see the roads lcsscning their
rates as they increase the volume Of
their frcights, the one acting and
rcacting upon the other The great
questions are Can the South success
fully enter the field Of widespread
commercial competition? Can rail
road system be formed in her midst
that will be able to compete with the
great systems North of the Ohio
Why not? We have already con
s'"'re" her wonderful nat"9r"l re

axe r..u,tlop the railroad systems
of the South to the degree OF per
lection that characterize the rail
roads of the East aud West is Il
great undertaking, but the day is
coming, and it is not far distant,
when the South will be woven with
4 web Of rails, like Ohio and Indiana.
What the railroad development of the
West did for that section it will do
for the South. Mr.. Calhoun was
among the first to realize the in
Iluccmcnt offered for extensive il.
vcstmcnt in the railroad field of the
South. lie saw that the South must
organize great systems of railroads,
or let the immense systems of the
West absorb the business that be-
longcd Justly to the South. 1t was
an easy matter to convince Northern
capital that his theory was correct,
and the result is that the South is
now leading any other section in its
railroad development. But the work
has just begun. Its future is I'M

After the reading of the journal
i'm the House Mr.. Carlisle rose and
said that since the 10Th of january
his side of the House had been pro-
testing every morning against the
approval OF the journal on the
ground that it contained an entry
made by direction of the Speaker,
showing the names OF certain mem
bcrs present and not voting. Last
Friday the House had adopted a
code Of rules providing for sur'. a
practice Against this the Demo
Gratis had protested and would pro-
test as IN unconstitutional practice;
but it was question which could
not be decided in this House, and
whenever the proper cases arise it
would go to some other forum. 1t
was the purpose Of his side Of the
House to see that this occasion
should be made in such shape as
would permit it to be finally and
dccisivcly passed upon. Therefore
he saw no reason why the journal,
the form of which the House had
the right to prescribe should not he
approved. This was done.
