in the State convention.
100000 bushels of corn and oats
was destroyed by fire yesterday at
Wateltown, \. Y.
The Sumter county primary cleo
ton will take place on Thursday, the
25th OF this month. A lively race IS
expected.
Senator n. C. Butler made an un-
successful effort in the Senate yeste:-
d,y to have cotton bagging placed on
the free list, but he has not given it
up. He will continue making the
fight, and there is possibility that the
cotton planters may yet obtain the de-
sired relief.
Mr.. r. W. Perry, OF Summerville,
is out in a card in to-day's World, de-
nying that he served on the Anti COM
mittee to confer with the Republicans
of Berkley. He says that he was ap-
pointed on the committee, but posi-
lively declined to serve. Mr.. Perry
is Democrat.
The Gy,eenriUe Ne,cs says that, 1T is
known that Col. Hoyt held the opinion
that the August convention had the
power under the old constitution to
change the executive committee, and
if the compromise had been agreed
upon, by which the adoption OF a new
constitution might have been post
poned until the September conven-
ton, he would have felt it his duty to
obey the order Of the State conven-
ton, and surrender his place as a
member of the executive committee.
The workings of politics seem to be
somewhat different this year from the
past. Heretofore the governor has
conferred with the county executive
committee in making the appoint
ments of commissioners of election,
but this year, in Clarendon at least,
Governor Richardson ignored that
body, and in Colleton county we no.
tice that he ignored the persons sug-
eested by the executive committee,
and appointed entirely different men.
What does it mean? In this county
he has appointed two Ants and one
Tillman man. They, however, are
good men, and will be satisfactory to
our people.
The State nominating convention at
this writing is in session, and the peo-
ple all over South Carolina and else
where are on the anxious bench, hop
ing that their deliberations will be
moderate and conservative, and no
cause will be given either side to sew
er their connection with the Demo
cratic party. Yesterday the State ex-
ecutive committee met, and Chairman
Irbv announced that Col. James A.
Hoyt, chairman OF the old executive
committee, had sought a conference
with himself, Capt. Shell, and Col
Willie Jones. The committee empow-
cred Mr.. Irby to act IN the conference.
Propositions were made, looking to
harmony on both sides The confer
ence met yesterday Afternoon, and a
compromise was agreed upon, Inc
following is the agreement: "tor the
harmony of the Democratic party IN
South Carolina, it is agreed between
the two State committees that at Il
NJ. on Sept. 10, 1890, both chairmep,
with their respective secretaries, shal!
ascend the platform in the presence OF
the convention. Col. Hoyt shall call
the convention to order, and by his
direction Willie Jones, secretary, shall
read the call. Then the Hon. j. L.
NJ. Irby shall call the convention to
order, and by his direction G. Duncan
Bellinger, secretary, shall read the call
confirming the previous call: Then
the Hon. W. D. Evans, of Marlboro,
shall nominate q temporary president
and put the question of his election.
Upon the temporary president com,
ing forward, the said chairmen and
their secretaries shall withdraw from
the platform.
