The Unelected Infant.

An unelected infant sighed out its little
breath,
And wandered through the darkness along
the shores OF death,
Until !the gates of heaven, agleam with
pearl. it sPied,
And ran to them and chung there and would
not he denied,
Though still from earth rose mutterings-
You cannot enter in;
Depart into Gehenna, you child OF wrath
and sin.
At last the gates were opened; a man with
features mild
STOPPED down and raised the weeping and
unelected child.
Immortal light thrilled softly down ave
nues of bliss,
AS on the infants forehead the spirit
placed kiss.
who are you, thus TO hallow an unelect-
ed brow?'
Dear child, my name was Calvin, but
see things better now"

Republican County Convention.

The Republican County Convention Tor
Oconee County met in kaufmann's Hall
last Saturday, April 9, at II A. NJ. After
some delay, caused by contesting delega-
tons, the differences between the Bryce
and Thomas factions were settled by
compromise, and the committee on Gre
dentials recommended that all the dele
gates be seated, each being given a half
vote. The committee further recon-
mended that each faction be given one
delegate to the State Convention, the
Bryce faction two delegates and the
Thomas faction one delegate to the Con-
cressional Convention.
The permanent organization was then
effected and NJ. Ii. Bryce was elected
County Chairman and W. J. Thomas,
Secretary. Thus the waring factions
were brought together in peace, unity
and harmony. This resul1 was brought
about by the fine hand of Col. John R.
Cochran, who was chairman of the COM
mittee Oh credentials.
The convention then went into the
election of delegates. NJ. II. Bryce and
W. J. Thomas were elected delegates to
the State Convention. NJ. II. Bryce, j.
R. Cochran and W. B. jenkins were
delegates to the Congressional
Convention.
There being no further business the
convention adjourned.

Democratic Club Meetings.

Reports have been received from the
Democratic Club meetings, held last Sat
urday in many of the towns throughout
the state. These show a strong follow
ing for sheppard, but the country Clubs
will probably more than Offset the show
ing made.
At Ed.efield Court House Tillman was
beaten by a vote of $50 to IS, and the
Clubs at Meeting Street, Landrum's
store. Johnston and Pleasant Lane were
captured 10y the Conservatives.
In Sumter the Sheppard men numbered
while the Tillmanites mustered -.
At Greenwood, in Abbeville county,
the Conservatives captured the Club and
elected twenty delegates to the County
Convention by a majority of 30 votes in a
total vote of 400.
At Rock Hill, in York county, where
only Is votes We're cas- against Tillman
in 1870. the Conservatives carried every
thing before them, electing the Club Off
GERS and delegates to the County Con-
vention 10y - majority in a total vote OF
la3.
At Marion the Conservatives beat the
T~illmamites by a votc of l55 to 136 and
elected twenty delegates to the County
Convention. Bethea township. Marion
county. which was overwhelmingly for
Tillman two years ago. declared itself Tor
sheppard.
Three OF the four Clubs in Greenville
city We're organized in favoro of Sheppard.
Springfield. Aiken county, declared
itscl: for Sheppard.
Darlington elected twenty Anti-Till-
man delegates to the County Convention.
Richland county is in line for the Con-
ServativeS.
Oakland and the Fork Clubs, in Clar-
endom county, joined in the movement
against Tillman.
Port Royal has taken its place on the
side of the Conservatives.
In Barnwcll the Conservatives outnum-
bercd the 1illmanites nearly three to one
The Club at Spartanburg took its place
in the Conservative ranks.
Charleston may be counted upon to roll
up a biz majority for Sheppard.
Notwithstanding this showing by the
cities and towns the Tillmanites will
probably have a large majority in the
May State Convention. Bat this conven-
ton has to do solely with national poll
ties. and the real fight will be made in
the August primaries for the election OF
delegates 70 the September State Con-
vention. And the strength of Sheppard
and the Conservative ticket may then be
stronger thar many people now think.
1t is claimed by the Conservatives that
have 1o2 of the 200 delegates in the
mt. Convention of Spartanburr,

Removed from Baggins
and Ties.

On last Saturday the blu providing for
removing the duty on cotton ties and all
kinds of cotton covering passed the
House by a vote of 10. yeas to 46 nays,
being a strict party vote. the Democrats
voting for and the Republicans against
the bill. The ext OF the bill is: That
the following articles, when imported.
shall be exempt from duty, namely: Bag
ging for cotton, Sunny cloth and all SINH
lar material suitable for covering cotton.
composed in whole OF in part Of flax,
.jute or jute butts, cards. rowing frames.
winding frames and other machinery
purchased abroad and used in the manu-
facture of basging for cotton, gunny
cloth and all similar materials suitable
for covering cotton. cotton gins and parts
thereof: and also hoop or band mon. or
hoop or band steel, cut to length, or
wholly or partially manufactured into
hoops or ties for bailin@ purposes, with
or without buckles or faStcningS.
Representative Hemphill, of South
Carolina, made a telling speech in sup
port of the bill. lie said, in substance,
that while this was not a question that
affected the people Of the whole United
States, 1t was one of immense import
ance to his constituents, the Southern
cotton growers. The tax IN cotton ties
is 100 per cent, and the tax on ba@ging
averages II per cent per square yard
If these taxes produce their natural and
legitimate results, they increase the price
of these articles to the cotton planters
enormously. Averaging the cotton crop
al eight millions of bales, the cotton
ties cost the farmers annually about two
millions of dollars. The tax of loo per
cent upon this is responsible for one-half
of this sum. On this same crop the bag
ging costs the planters about six mix
lions OF dollars, and the tax upon this
article increases the price about ten
cents a bale. which adds about eight
hundred thousand dollars to the expen-
,su, 1T the cotton grower incurs in mar
