CONSTRUCTIONS. coNyENr1oN.

CONSTITUTIONAL, CONVENTION.
Two-thirds of the members of the
present Legislature seem TO think that
the people want q constitutional con-
Yention. The joint resolution referring
the matter Of holding such convention
to the people has gene through both
branches Of our Legislature. For the
past several years there has been some
men who have been cIamoring for a
constitutional convention and the only
reason we have seen assigned for such
convention is the fact that our present
one was adopted by the radicals. That
is q very small matter to make such a
fuss about. If there is really need for
. new constitution it seems to us it
vocld be . very small undertaking to
point out the defects of the present one
and let the people know what changes
were necessary.
We have an intimation that the plan
is to abolish the constitutional 2-mill
tax and have qualified suffrage -edu-
cational we presume.
We are opposed to such convention
at this time for many reasons. It is
not good plan to always be tinkering
with the organic law, and besides we
have very good constitution now and
there is no demand for such conven-
tion. It will cost to hold such conven-
sion from SIS, 600 to Sl00,0oo. In these
times when there is such demand for
economy it does look just q little ex-
travagsnt to spend that much money
on thing that is not needed or de-
manded.
But there is plenty of time to discuss
all Of these questions, as the people will
have 20 say by their ballots whether
they want such convention. Some
people have the idea that when the
resolution passes the Legislature that
the matter is settled. That only sub
mits it toa vote of the people at the
next general election.
Here is the provision ofthe eonstitu-.
ton on this point, article Is, section 8,
so it viii be as least two years before
such convention can be held:
Convention, Section 8. Whenever
two-thirds of the members elected to
each branch of the General Assembly
shall think it necessary to call con-
veDtion to revise, amend, or change
this convention, they shall recommend
to the electors to vote at the next cleo
ton for representatives, for or against
8 convention, and If a majority of all
the electors voting at tssid election shall
have voted for convention, the Gen
eral Assembly shall, at their next ses-
sion, provide by law for calling the
same; and such convention shall con-
sist of q number of members, not less
than that of the most numerous branch
Of the General Assembly.

TIE REruNpMENr scHEME.

The administration members Of the
Legislature have killed Col. Haskell's
scheme to renew the bonds falling due
next year for four years, in case the
State was not able to place new bonds
at a lower rate of interest. And Gov.
Tillman has submitted a plan. the sub
stance Of which is given in our Colum-
bis letter. His plan would do if all
those who now hold South Carolina
bondsare willing to exchange them for
new 45 per cent. bonds. But suppose
any large portion of these holders Of
oursecuritiessh should not be willing toac-
cept the a bonds in place Of the 6's they
now hold, and demand their money.
We see no provision in the plan of Gov.
TiIlman's for such an exigency, and it
is not improbable that it may arise.
The State should meet its obligations
honestly and fairly and not force peo-
pie TO take its bonds at low rate OF
interest unless they so win. We would
be glad to see the debt refunded at 4
per cent, and believe it could have
been accomplished if there had not
been so much, at least apparent. war
fare by our administration on capital
and corporations. -
Then we do not think HE State
should be required to pledge any par.
ticuiar portion of its property for the
payment of the State debt.
This matter Of refunding the State
debt is one Of the most important to
come before our Legislature and should
be given proper and business like con-
sideration.
In its consideration factional lines
should be obliterated, for all good citi-
zens are interested in maintaining the
credit of the State and should work TO-
gether for the settlement of the debt on
the best possible terms for the tax
payer.

TIME EXTENDED.

A joint resolution had gone through
both branches Of the Legislature ex-
tending the time for paying taxes with
out the penalty to the fifteenth Of jan
uary. In the meantime Gov. Tillman
authorized the Comptroller General to
extend the time to the first of January.
So we presume that will stand.

II the Legislature should pass the
bill establishing an insurance depart
ment and requiring the appointment
o. an aetuary, our Columbia correspon-
dent says the companies do not know Of
any man in the State who could I'LL
the place. We believe that We have a
man in Newoerry who could. He has
made the study Of insurance business
for some years. Capt. A. P. Pifer would
make most excellent man for the
place.

The railroad bill, it seems, will pass.
Why our law makers should desire to
freeze capital outof the State we do
not know. The bill is arbitrary and
gives entirely too much power in the
hands OF the Commissioners. Power
to locate and have built depots, and fix
rates and allow no appeal does seem to
be hard on the railroads. The railroad
people say it will greatly cripple their
interests.

good natured man on whose sparscly

ber's chair the other day for "a hair
trim and shave" There were four
BARRIERS at work in the shop and just
four customers. The artist in whose
care the good natured man found him
self did his work in very satisfactory
manner. He handled the scissors deftly
and proved to be thorough master
of keen edged razor. After the bay
rum, the powder and tho brilliantine
had been successively administered the
barber unpinned the small sheet in
which he had wrapped his customer,
and was just on the point of removing
1t when his eye caught sight of man
in tho doorway Of tho chop. The new
conner was ono of those puffy, red faced
persons such as no barber likes TO touch.
This cheeky barber therefore pressed
significantly on the shoulder Of his good
naturcd customer. ropinncd the sheet,
took out his scissors and razor and dill
gently went through the motions of
trimming the hair and beard. Then he
applied moro bay rum aud powder and
