Editor Register: The Butler confer,
ences, as reported, are supposed to in
dicate that having been defeated at the
receot primary elections, the General
: VII now organize an Independent
movement, in order that he may have
another chance to be returned to the
Senate. Such a movement would be
conceived in sin and brought forth in
iDiauity." Surely there must be some
mistake in the published reports Tor it
is hard to believe that Senator Butler
and his friends, many Of whom nave
proved their manhood, courage and pa.
trlotism, in war and IN peace, would
enter upon venture 80 fraught Win
evil to the State. Senator Hampton 10
1878 declared that IAN Independent
was worse than a Radical" Ihe con-
ditions which inspired this forclble ex'
preston remain unchanged, so let the
word be again passed down the line,
"an Independent IS worse than a Radl-
cal"
An Independent movement against
the organized Democracy could succeed
only by forming a coalition with the
black RepublicanS, ana LnlS Woulu
eventually result IN their restoration TO
power. Shall white men be ruled by
negroes? Shall the State be again dom.
mated by ignorance and vice? Shall
we have negro judges presiding over
our courts? Snail South Carolinians
be again subjected to the insults, suf-
fering and humiliation experienced by
them in the dark days of Radical
ism? If not, then rise mp in your
might and put down a movement
which to gain a temporary advantage
would open Pandora's box and flood
the State with evils which will be fast
ened not only upon you, but also upon
your children.
The duty Of the hour compels every
Democrat, whether Tillmanite or anti
Tillmanite, tc fight now on common
ground to sustain white supremacy.

An Impressive Observance in
the Nj. E. Church.
FLOWERS IN PROPULSION
Chndren's Day Observed I'm the Morning
and Evening-Very Interesting Programs
on Both OccasIons-Feasts OF Sacred
Song and Praise.

Children's day was celebrated in the
Methodist Episcopal church on East Oak
street on Sunday in a very appropriate
and successful manner. The interior Of
the church was gorgeously decorated
with plants, flowers and festoons of ever
greens. The delicious fragrance from the
decorations and the sweet notes of the
canaries in the cages suspended from the
ceiling of the church made an excellent
impression upon the visitors.
Owing to the large increase in the
membership of the Sunday school it be
came necessary to have two programs
for the observance of the day and the
morning session was set apart for the
Junior classes. The program was a very
interesting one and the exercises reflected
great interest and much preparation on
the part of the younger children,
The evening session, which was set
apart for the senior department, attracted
"a large attendance and every interest was
manifested in the program, which was
carried out very successfully. 1t was as
follows; singing, See the Gospel Army

Christ, Sunday School and Church Choir:

logy and benediction.
After the service the congregation
passed along the side aisles to the altar and
then passed out through the middle aisle
The address by Rev. Powick, the pastor,
during the exercises was on christian edu-
cation. Referring to the conflicting
opinions held by different persons on the
question of amusements and Sunday OBJ
servance he said that our ideas on such
questions depended very much upon
whether we got them from the bar room |
and the brothel, or from the Bible and
the altar. When the head is educated at
the expense of the heart education might |
prove to be a curse rather than a blessing |
We need an educated conscience as well |
as an educated brain.

EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFORNIA.
Clocks Stopped and Windows and
Doors Shaken

San Diego. Cal, and neighboring towns
were visited yesterday afternoon by q
series of earthquakes of more than ordinary
severity The first shock occurred at 1903
PM, and was followed at intervals of a
quarter of minute by two others, the last
being one of the strongest experienced since
he coming of Americans.
People In brick houses swarmed into the
streets, bearing the startling grinding of
bricks and mortar and seeing in some
cases. the walls crack. A heavy sound was
heard in all parts of the city Immediately
preceding the quake. Considerable con-
sternation was caused in the public schools
the children in some of the rooms being
hastily dismissed. Clocks were STONED
windows and doors were shaken sensibly
The second shock was observed BY few
people, being very light and coming when
all were talking of the first; but the third
was pronounced as to again bring the
people into the streets.
Telephone messages from Upper Otay
National City and other places showed the
shock was felt at all surrounding places
Loose rocks were shaken from the hillsides
and ratified down the canons and a heavy
groan and booming noise accompanied the
tremors The yea ther observer reported
another slight shock at 4:25 O ciock but NOT
so strong as the first ones, but quite per-
ceptible. It was not felt on the ground.
The waves came east to west in all in
stances. So far as known no damage was
done. =
