tutional Convention opened this morn
ing, I. 8. johnson moved to take from
the table the motion of Mr.. McMillin to
revive the anti-bribery amendment that
was defeated a week ago, and which ex-
tended the Bribery law in regard to cleo
lions to primaries.
The motion was defeated by a rising
vote, and the matter Is finally killed.
The claim OF Harvey w. Putnam and
Thomas Sullivan for counsel fees in
their contest for the seats Of the Thir-
tieth District, amounting to S.3l 10, was
called up by DR.. Cookinham. Mr.. Deadly
objected, on the ground that the Con-
vention had no authority to appropriate
any money for such a purpose. The
claim would have to be sent to the Leg
islature. The motion was defeated.

new Constitution take effect Jan. ], 1895,

passed II, but at the same time refused

Still Another Appeal.
Alarming State Of Affairs on the
Coast.
Register, May l9.

Still another appeal for relief has
been receive by Governor Tillman
from the coast region of the State.
The situation is becoming alarming and
a generous public should respond
quickly and literally.
Governor Tillman. is powerless to do
anything except to make an appeal
to a humane people and ask them to
give what they can. He has 90 power
over the Red Cross Society. which is
distributing charity as it sees Fit.
The appeal printed in yesterdays pa.
pers resulted 10 some money being con-
tributed. None was received by Cover
nor Tillman, however, but it is probable
that contributions will begin to come in
in a few days.
The following is the latest appeal
received by the Governor:
"HENDEasoNv1LIE, S. c., May Is.
To His Excellenoy, the Governor.
Dear Sir: By urgent request. and
in the interest of suffering humanity, I
respectfully address you. There are many
families in this community in destitute
circumstances, with no means to secure
needed supplies. OF course some Of
them have a little property, but it is
mostly under mortgage for advances
made to them last year not having been
able to pay out.
Some Of them have applied to the
Red Cross lSociety, but were told that
the Charleston and Savannah Railway
was the line above which aid could not
be extended without orders from you.
am satisfied from my own knowl-
edge (having seen most of this section
that for ten miles above the said rail-
way, from the Edisto to the Salkahat-
chic Rivers, the people suffered as much
damage from the storm Of 1898, as
they did below said line except on the
immediate coast.
The poor We always have with ne.
These heretofore have been helped by
the communities in which they lived.
Now the great majority Of the people
have want and d~estitution staring them
in the face, which no local assistance
can relieve. There are; | suppose,
fifty or more families in this section
that will have to abandon their crops,
without aid from some source. These
are facts as [ see aud know them to be.
Hoping that your ExcelIency may de-
wise some means of relief and give direc-
tions to obtain the same, | am,
Your obedient servant,

If you will make a critical exami-

South Carolina represented by any of

so much esteemed in Charleston.
Later on you will not find any
General Chicco in the War between
the States. Neither will you find any
Judge Cantini presiding over u

whiskey riots, whiskey parades, in
the running Of blind tigers and in the
newspapers which glorify them for
resisting the law. 1t is not the
