ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS.
Non-Partisan Constitutional Convention
Advocated Its Importance Set Forth.

NOn-ParttSnn CONSTITUTIONAL convention
Advocated Its Importance Set Forth.
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
In the progress of the eform move
ment we have reached critical peri.
cd in the history of the State. All OF
the essential demands of that move
ment may properly be regarded as ac.
complished facts, and having been &C.
cepted by the people should no longer
be cause of irritation and dissension.
The constitutional convention alone
remains to be acted upon by the peo-
pie, and it is unfortunate that they
are in such state of mind as to pre-
vent many of them from seeing the
situation from an impartial and non
partisan standpoint AS it is useless
to discuss the cause or causes which
led to this state of affairs we will look
only to the future and leave the dead
past to bury its dead.
Every intelligent mind which is ca
pable of realizing the good that can
be. accomplished, and the great harm
that may be done to our State and
people by a sovereign body like a
constitutional convention; every one
who sees and feels the necessity and
Importance of securing the unity of
our people and white supremacy by a
we'll regulated suffrage, without dis
franchising a white voter; every pa
triotic citizen who is aware of the ills
and evils affecting and threatening
the body polite, whether of a social,
political, financial or industrial char
acter, will readily admit that some
thing ought to be done to correct the
evils briefly alluded to and to secure
the good so easily within our reach.
Therefore, we, the undersigned Re-
formers, having only these ends in
view, and desiring nothing but the
unity and harmony of our people, the
highest and best interests of our State,
the progress and development of her
social, industrial and political inter-
ests, do hereby call upon all of our
Democratic citizens who sympathize
with these views and are willing to
abide the results of the Reform move
ment to earnestly consider the import
ance of a partisan convention,
composed of the wisest and best men
of both factions, and to take such ac-
ton as is deemed best to secure it.

The Date Fixed.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. Last night
the Reform members of the General
Assembly met in caucus to receive the
report of the caucus committee ap-
pointed Wednesday night to arrange
the details for the holding of the COM
ing Constitutional convention. As a
result of the report and discussion the
caucus decided that the day for the
election of delegates should be the
third Tuesday in August, and that the
day for the convention to assemble
should be the second Tuesday in Sep'
tember next. The caucus agreed on
the Efrd Senate bill, providing for
special election machinery, etc., as
the best plan. Of course these dates
and plans are now as good as adopted.

Warning to the Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--The Repub-
lican Congressional committee has
sent out a significant letter in regard
to contested seats in the next Congress.
There are upwards of thirty districts
wherein defeated Republicans have
indicated their intention to filing con-
tests. The committee has addressed to
each of these contestants statement
notifying him that he must not place
any reliance on the large Republican
majority in the next Congress, but
must rest his prospects for success on
the merits of the claims he advances.
Probable contestants are advised not
to file their papers unless able to rein
force them with testimony of the most
unimpeachable character.

DeAperate Murderer.

NEWMAN, Ca, Dec. 3.-About mid
night Saturdaya Negro named Joseph
Bean went to the house of Abe Leigh.
a farmer, twelve miles from here and
told him oneof his croppers was very
sick and wanted medicine. Leigh
went with the negro. Half an hour
later Bean returned and asked for Mr.
or Mrs. Leigh. The woman suspected
something was wrong and her suspic-
ions were confirmed by Bean display
ing a revolver. Quick as a flash
Mile Leigh grabbed her fathers shot
gun and ordered the negro out. Bean
fired but missed. Mile fired but the
gun failed. The negro ran out and
round to a window. Here the girl
fired at him and he again at her. Two
hours later the body OF the father was
found, hisskull crushed and his body
stabbed in nine places. A search is
being made for the negro, who escap-
ed and is supposed to have gone
down the Chattahoehee River in a
boat. 1t is supposed he had all accom-
plice.
Refused a Gift of $500.
NEW \ DIRK, Dec. 5.-A dispatch to
the Evening Post from Raleigh, N.
c., says: Washington Duke of the
American Tobacco Company, and
President of the Duke Cigarette Works
at Durham, sent $500 to the North
Carolina Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, which has
been in session at Statesville, N. c.,
for week past, towards defraying the
expenses of the conference. The Rev.
Mr.. Ware of Reidsville, and some
other members of the conference, pro-
tested against the acceptance of the
gift of which they termed trust
money" and at a meeting of the board
of stewards of his church, Mr.. Wares
action was approved. 1t is claimed
that the trust having the only buyer
on the tobacco markets who buys cut
ters used in the manufacture of ciga-
rettes, the price of that grade of tobacco
has been forced down so low that it's
impoverishing the farmers who grow

THEY WANTED GRUB.
Why the Chico Indians Called on &c
eral Cosby.

Why the Chico Indians Called on Cen
eral Cosby.
General Cosby has returned from his
visit to Chico, whittier he went as special
agent for the Government to inquire into
the condition of the Indians III that vi
cinity. of whom there are quite large
number. The Indians have ranch
eria" near General BidwelFs place, and
do considerable work for him on his
great ranch.
When General Cosby reached Chico the
other evening he Went to restaurant for
his supper. The Indians had heard of his
intended visit. and the big men of the
tribe, reinforced by a mob of lesser lights,
went to town 10 see the representative OF
the Great Father at Washington.
Some local wag had taken occasion to
give the Indians "a till'' as TO the alleged
purpose of the Generals visit, and like
the boy going to picnic, they had dieted
for several days in anticipation OF big
eat when the agent arrived-at the Gov
ernments expense, of course,
While General Cosby was eating his
supper he was informed that delegation
of noble redmen were anXiously await
Ing an interview with him. He suspended
operations temporarily and went out to
the door. There he found the delegation
from the campoodie gathered on the side
walk, and they were as hungry looking
set as man ever gaZed upon.
Being familiar with Indian customs
and dress, the General at once identified
the chief or head man of the gang, and re-
marked, "Howdy?"
The ehiet-so the story goes, as told by
a railroad man-began to rub his stoni-
ach with one hand, while he extended the
other toward the pale-face, and re-
sponded
"Injun heap hungry; got um plenty
Club for Injun ?' or words to that effect.
The situation was rather an embarrass-
ing one for the General. Uncle Sam had
not supplied him with any funds for feed
ing the native sons, and he did not feel
like inviting the crowd to banquet at
his own expense.
From few remarks made by the chief,
in response to questions asked, the Gen.
eral learned that his visitors had been
told that he was coming there with
cargo Of supplies for them, sent by the
Great Father, and that they were to fairly
revel in luxnries from that time on. He
1isabused their minds of their error in as
gentle manner as possible, and told the
Indians he would meet them at the

THE HEART DOCTRINE" 4"
Discourse on One of the Tenets o
Modern TheOSOnhY.

Discourse on One of the TenetS OF
Modern Theosophy.'
E. B. Rambo of San Francisco lectured
at the TheosoDhical headquarters last
evening on 1.-The Heart Doctrine" The
Theosophical Society, founded in 1875,
has been, he said, the agent for bringing
to Western people that which is now
called Theosophy. The society has no
creed or dogma but it may be and is the
custodian OF that which can be called
religion OF religions, a science OF sciences,
and an all-embracing philosophy. We
cannot name any great religion which
has not come from the East, neither has
any philosophy or science first had its
inception in the West, but have univer-
sally had their origin among oriental
people.
The Tbeosophical Society and those
back of it have had the presentation of
Theosophy to our busy, materialistic,
money-loving, money-getting, selfish
civilization-prouda as well Of their schol
arly attainments-and that which has
been most attractiv e in il has been the in
tellectual concepts it presents.
Is there something that will lift human
ity-something that will brighten and
sweeten the toll and travail of everyday
lie? Is there any philosophy or reason
woes of lie bearable, bring justice out of
injustice or right the wrongs OF man?
Iheosophy answers that there is a
deeper wisdom and more excellent
knowledge than historical evidences, the
philosophy of world-building or the pro-
gress of evolution, something more i'm
portant than our past and the present and
greater by far than the future. The
heart doctrine" of Theosophy-that law
which stunning learning teaches wis
GOm-iS remuneration of self, the realiZa-
Iion OF one Spirit. one humanity.
The speaker then elaborated the ''heart
doctrine" Among other things he said
'The Nazarene, born in the lOwly walks
OF life, having not place to lay his head,
reviled, but reviling not again, gave to
the world the sermon on the mount and
preached I and my Father are one and
till ye are brethren'-the true heart doc
trine'"
This is the message of Theosophy. If
we believe the message to be true; if we
can realize the One Life and that in it is
brotherhood, the only existence, we shall
become actively benefcent; we shall
work for the lifting up Of this entity that
we are-humanity.
1t it be true, as we teach, that all men
are brothers; if in this vast human fam
lily there is one great tie of brotherhood
that goes from life to life and from heart
to heart, what can do more 10 degrade the
whole life of man than to live in selfish
and easeful isolation while others are in
misery and wretchedness?
Together we must climb or together we
must fall. Our work is the work of
common salvation; the work Of a COM
mon duty TO common human need, and
in doing that we are climbing upward
toward the higher life. To be rid of self
ishness; to win but to serve; to use your
education to help the ignorant; to use
your training to help the unframed; to
use your voices to make articulate the
sufferings of the voiceless-this is the
command that Theosophy gives to the
Western world.

SHELDON HAD A LIVELY DAY.
Trouble Between a Ranch Owner and
His Tenant.
Shotguns and Bnlingsgate the Chief
Features-The Law Appeased by
Justice Everson.

There was lively racket in the bucolic
burg of Sheldon, near the Costumes
River. few days ago, which came near
resulting in bloodshed.
1t appears that George Kelly owns
ranch in that neighborhood which he
leases to George Themar, but there has
been considerable friction between the
owner and the lessee as to their respective
authority over the premises. Kelly had
put up notices prohibiting persons from
hunting on the land, but Themar has
shoot there, among them one Jerry Costa,
who espoused his cause against Kelly.
Some days ago Costa loaded up on coun-
try booze and went to the blacksmith
shop where George Kelly and his brother
Henry were at work. He began abusing
the Kelly brothers. and being armed with
a shotgun he was not molested by them.
He tramped up and down in front Of the
shop hurting approbrious epithets at the
Eellys, and he was so excited that a
rancher living nearly quarter of mile
away heard him roar.
After Costa had unloaded his vials of
billingsgate at the Kellys he went to
saloon, the proprietor OF WHICH 1nOuceu
him to give up the shotgun, which was
put beyond his reach. Subsequently
Henry Kelly met Costa who, not hav-
ing the shotgun with which to back up
his belligerent mood-had quieted down.
Kelly, smarting under the abuse that
Costa had heaped upon him and his
brother, gave his enemy a punch in the
face and Costa "bit the DUST so to speak
George Kelly and his brother Henry
afterward went over to the ranch, where
they were met by Themar and one Of his
hired men, named HetZel, who had been
hunting on the place and was armed with
a shotgun. Yhemar called George Kelly
vile name, and the latter struck him,
but no serious result followed.
The parties to the trouble swore to COM
plants against one another, and all were
arrested. Their cases were heard before
Justice Everson on Saturday. Assistant
District Attorney j. Charles Jones ap-
reared for the prosecution. Gillis Doty
defended Costa, but the Kelly brothers
had no counsel.
Costa was found guilty on two charges,
disturbing the peace and malicious mis-
chief-the latter otfense consisting of fir
ing two charges of shot into sign
erected by George Kelly warning hunters
to keep off his ranch. On the former he
was fined $50, aud on the latter s..
Henry Kelly was found guilty of as
sault on Costa and fined s., and the
charge against George Kelly of battery
on Themar was dismissed.
