UNANIMOUS FOR LESTER.
The congressional convention to nomi-
nate the democratic candidate for con
| gress from the First congressional dis
! trict will meet at the court house Tues
! day at II o'clock. Mr. NJ. w. Dixon, who
| is chairman of the First district execu-
/ tive committee, said yesterday that he
| believed that all the counties in the dis
trict had named their delegations TO the
convention. He has not been notified of the
names OF the delegates, this not being
customary, but he knew that several of
the counties have named their delega-
tons and he believed that all have done
so.
There is no opposition to Col. Lester, -
said MIR. Dixon. a am well acquainted
all throughout the district, having friends
and business connections in almost every
county in the district, and if there were
any opposition to Col. Lester | would
| have heard Of it. II viii take the con-
ventiOn a very little while 10 transact its
business. IL will practically be a repeti-
ton Of the convention at Savannah two
years ago. The convention will simply
meet, organize, nominate Col. Lester and
adjourn. A committee will be appointed
to notify Col Lester of his nomination,
which it will do, aud perhaps a month
later letter will be received from him
accepting the nomination"
The counties in the First congressional
district are Burke, Emanuel. Chatham,
Eftingham, Screven Bulloch, Tattnall,
Liberty, Mcintosh aud Bryan. There are
twenty eight delegates in the convention,
Burke and Chatham having six each and
the other eight counties two each.
THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
Mr.. J. E. Blackshear Of Guyton, chair
man of the senatorial executive
committee OF this district, was
seen yesterday. Mr.. Blackshear
said that he would communicate
with the members Of the committee as to
the proper time for calling the conven-
tion. He does not think there is any ne
cessity for calling the committee to-
gether. Mr.. Osborne said that he had
not yet named his delegates to the con-
vention, and probably would not do so
until after the convention had been
called. The nomination of Mr. Osborne
by the convention will be merely a matter
of form, as there will be no opposition
from Bryan and Efingham, the other two
counties in the district

TO BE OPENED AUGUST l.
The Atlantic Coast Lines New Short
Line via Remini.

The Manchester and Augusta railroad,
recently completed from Remini, Clar-
endon county, S. c., to Denmark, at the
junction of the Augusta division of the
South Carolina railway and the South
Bound railroad, will be opened for trafic
August l.
The Manchester and Augusta railroad,
as completed, embraces sixty-three and
half miles of track, including nineteen
miles completed in 1888 from Sumter to
Remini, on the Santee river. That por-
ton just built from Remini to Denmark
is forty-four and half miles in length,
and runs through magnificent country
that IS already well settled and largely
developed. 1t is particularly fine agri-
cultural region, and we are informed that
the crops along the new line are simply
splendid. The country is also well tim
bered and well watered and is one of the
richest cotton districts on the South At
lantic, besides being admirably adapted
TO other crops and Astounding in the re-
sources so peculiar to this favored part of
the south.
The track of the new road is laid with
70-pound steel rails, and the rivers and
waterways over which it crosses are
spanned with splendid steel bridges of the
most approved make The principal
streams crossed are the Santee and the
North and South Edisto rivers, while
there are numerous smaller streams along
! the line.
The principal towns connected by the
Manchester and Augusta are Sumter,
Remini with $50, Orangeburg with 5000
| and Denmark with 500 The road
traverses portions of Sumter, Clarendon,
Orangeburg and Barnwell counties, and
at the town of Sumter it is in junction with
the other roads of the Coast Line ramify-
ing in all directions traversed by the
system.
At Denmark it forms junction with
the South Bound railroad to Savannah,
and with the South Carolina railway run
nuing from Charleston to Augusta, and
there making connections south and west.
1t will thus be seen that the new road is
an important link in the Atlantic Coast
Line system, aud its construction during
the period Of financial depression that
has paralyzed all industrial progress in
America, shows that this great southern
railroad system is in the very front rank
as factor in the development of south
ern resources.
The completion of the new road short
ems the distance between Savannah and
Florence about thirty-nine miles, and if
the Atlantic Coast Line were operated
from Savannah would be the short line
north

New Orleans, at the home of his father,
Mr.. r. NJ. Orme on Harris street, last
night Mr.. Orme was for several years
lieutenant of the company and one of the
most popular officers it ever had.
The birth of sweet, little daughter to
Mr. Orme was made the excuse for the
serenade. There was full turnout of
the company, together with number of
members Of other companies of the
Guards, including Capt. Williamson of
Company A and Capt. Cam of Company
G. The occasion was very enjoyable
one. The Guards were royalty received
by Mr.. Orme, and his hospitality was
literally partaken of.
The toast to the little Miss Orme was
proposed by Lieut.. w. G. Hartridge in
his usually eloquent manner. There were
number of toasts and songs, and many
wishes we're expressed for the future
happiness of the little daughter of the
house. She, by the way, was brought in
for the inspection of her fathers friends,
and bore herself like a little lady. All
the boys fell in love with her and prom
ised TO wait until she grew up. 1t was II
O'Clock when the company returned to
the arsenal, after giving three cheers for
the eX-lieutenant and his charming little
daughter

The following resolution indorsing the
candidacy of Hon. w. y. Atkinson for the
governorship, was offered by Maj.
Schwarz:
Resolved, by the executive committee OF
the Democratic party OF Chatham county
been afforded the party to do so, II gives its
unqualified Endorsement to the candidacy OF
the Hon W. Y. Atkinson for governor and
congratulates the state and the party that its
banner will be borne by one so worthy this
high trust.
The resolution provoked considerable
discussion. Mr.. II. M Conner, Jr., op-
posed the resolution on the ground that
1t was not the province of the executive
committee TO express the wishes of the
people Of the county and that TO indorse
candidate for any Office before his NOM
tnatlon by the party was improper. 1t
would be perfectly proper, he said, for
the executive committee to give such an
Endorsement after Mr.. Atkinson had re-
ceiyed the nomination.
The resolution was numerously sup
ported. Mai. Schwarz said IL was high
time for Chatham county TO act 1T
should have been heard from long age. -
be said. chatham county should have
gone on record four weeks ago. as she
could have done had there been primary
held. IL Is better 70 90 on record now
than not at all"
Mr. w. w. Starr advocated the resolu-
ton. MIR. Atkinson he said Is undoubt-
edly the candidate Of Chatham county for
governor and the county should be placed
:. on record. There Is now no othor cau-
Z idale 10 the field, aud there could GER
