tions were made, but that they were
not welded to any one man, but would
give their hearty support to whoever
got the nomination. Florence and
Darlington seemed to be anxious for the
fight to be made and appear to be COLI
hdent Of the Success of the ticket If
run.
WALLACE, SCHUMPERT AND LAWTON.
Solicitor Schumpert, of Newberry,
and Judge Wallace's names were men
toned by number of the delegates. It
was claimed by their admirers that
either of them would make a fine and
aggressive fight if the orders were
given to 60 ahead with the contest.
The Rame of Col. Lawton, of Hamp-
ton, was also mentioned as good
candidate, coming directly from the
people.
HUDSON, CoKER AND HAGooD.
The names of Judge Hudson, Col.
Coker anG Ex-Governor johnson Ha-
good were frequently mentioned during
the day as good men to head the ticket
with. -
CHARLESTON AGAINST NOMINATIONS.
The Charleston delegation was as
Tree as the air. 1t came without in
structions and went around, with its
ears and eyes open, to see whatwas the
outlook: Gen: McCrady was at the
head of the delegation, and it is an
nounced that ne is unalterably opposed
to nominations at this time. The
delegation is free to conviction, but,
with the lights before it prior to the
conference being held, thought that it
was best not to make nominations. Mr..
Fishburne, of the delegation, is said to
be inclined to making nominations if
there is any prospect of electing the
ticket put out in the field.
The Orsngeburg delegation 80 far as
could be learn. d was diametrically
opposed to making nominations, and
some of the delegates from that county
say that they came here for the sole
purpose of opposing nominations being
made at this time.
REPORTER PRICE AND HIS TEMPORARY
PERCH.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
incidents of the preliminary caucus
was the discovery and election of the
enterprising reporter of the Register.
When the caucus was called to order at
$50 it was desired that there should be
free conference among the delegates.
The call announced that fact, and those
reporters who asked for admission
were unceremoniously allowed to listen
to the proceedings, but Mr.. Price
thought be would run his own news
paper campaign. Some of the delegates
anticipated such a move and COM
mittee efinvestigation went to work.
The first place visited was the foot of
the hall of the House of Representatives.
There some unknown man was found,
but the committee was not satisfied that
this was the only man on the lookout.
While in search for some one else one
of the committee broke mole through
the ceiling of the hall aud had a narrow
escape from falling to the floor. The
committee kept up its search, and after
awhile found Mr.. Price perched upon
the roof trying to cover the trap door.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Registers efforts were of any avail. The
discovery was made before the Conven-
ton had organized. That is the way
of the reporter.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1894-09-19

After considerable debate at 2 O'Clock
resolution was introduced which
solved the problem satisfactorily, and
after several fine speeches, by vote of
120 to l04, nominations for State Offices
were postponed but not abandoned, the
sense of the meeting being to await
certain developments. The vote upon
the question of nominations was as fol-
lows:

made. ....s-::. r. ~
] BERKELEY READY FOB 4 FIGHT
The Berkeley delegation was unde.
| cided during the day as toWhaS course
had better be pursued by the Conven.
ton. Some of them wanted to see
nominations made, while others were
of the opinion that nothing ought to
| be done at this time and that mature
deliberation should be had before any
thing Was decided upon. The delegates
seemed to think that with good fight
the county could be carried against the
Reform" movement. It was their
opinion that State ticket would helm
along county ticket if one were nom
mated, and that, OIL the other hand, a
county ticket would help along the
State ticket if put in the field.
The Aiken delegation was on the
field early. It was one of the strong
est here and was active against making
nominations, on the ground that it
would be inexpedient at this juncture.
They, however, would have liked to
have had q fight earlier in the game
just to show what they could do at the
home Of John Gary Evans.
The Chester delegation came in on the
noon train all ready and enthusiastic
for nominations. II nominations are
made their ticket will be Theodore G..
Barker, Of Charleston, for Governor
and w. 4. Love, of Chester, for Lieu
tenant Governor.
NAMES SUGGESTED FOR GOVERNOR.
During the morning, and before
anyone had any idea Of whether the
Convention would make nominations
or not, there was good deal of specula-
ton upon the candidate who would be
ran for Governor in case nominations
were decided upon. That was an entirely
legitimate question for discussion before
anything was done by the Convention,
although the Convention may change
the entire programme. During the
morning the name of Jos. B. Walker, of
spartanburg, was prominently men
toned. He is q successful business
and mill man of Spartauburg and oae
who has the confidence of the entire
people. He has been mayor of the
thriving city of Spartanburg, and is
ssid to De successful executive officer.

A Hungry Mans Dreams.

One OF the worst evils attending
penal servitude is said to be the huhger
which assails q man with healthy ap.

LENGTH OF THE MILE.
No Less Than Twelve Different Kinds
Miles In European Countries.

No Less Than Twelve Different Kinds of
Miles In European Countries.
A correspondent asks how many
different kinds OF miles there are, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t is no
wonder that there is some uncertainty
about the length Of a mile. English
speaking countries have four different
miles-the ordinary mile of $3.50 feet,
and the geographical or nautical mile
Of e,os5, making difference of about
one-seventh between the two; then
there is the Scotch mile of 5,e2s feet,
and the Irish mile of e,7go feet-four
various miles, every one of which is
still in use.
Then almost every country has its
own standard mile. The Romans had
their mile passum, 1000 PAGES, which
must have been about 5000 feet in
length, unless we ascribe to Cesar's
DICTIONARIES great stepping capacity.
The German milo of to-day is BASIS
feet in length, more than four and a
half times as long as our mile. The Dutch,
the Danes, and the Prussians enjoy
q mile that Is 10, 44o feet long, three and
half times the length Of ours. and the
Swiss get more exercise In walking one
Of their miles than we get In walking
five miles, for their milo Is 9,153 yards
long, while ours Is only 1,7eo yards. The
italian miles Is only few feet longer
than ours, tho Roman mile Is shorter
while the Tuscan and the Turkish
miles are $50 yards longer. The Swedish
mile 10 7,s41 yards long, and the
Vienna post mile Is $500 yards II
length.
SO here is list Of twelve different
miles, and besides this there are othe,
measures of distance, not counting the
French klometor, which Is rather les.
than two-thirds Of q mile. The Bra
zilians have militia that Is one and 9
