 Nominate state officers.

Nominate state Unic CTS.
 DALLAS. Aug. s8.-Tne state Republi- can convention was called to order yes terday morning by N. B. Moore, chair man of the executive committee, after speech by J. J Eckford of the citizsns committee, turning the hall oyer to the convention.
 When ths gavel fell there were at least 1900 delegates seated and strict at tention was given to the opening ad- dress of the chairman, which elicited much applaud.
 W. F. Crawford of Milan county was elected temporary chairman and D. c. Kelb of Iowa Park, secretary.
 A motion prevailed that the chairman appoint committees on credentials, on permanent organNation and on plat form, by selecting from each congress sional district one member for each conn mittee.
 The convention then adjourned until 4:5j D. m. to give the chairman time to select the committeeman.
 The committee on credentials will have to settle the rights of contesting delegations from Galveston, Henderson, Colorado, Cameron and Navarro coun- ties. The Galveston contest is the most important to come before the commit tee, as the delegation headed by MT. HouhilA4n will make strong fight against the Cuney delegation.
 The only contention in the convention is the fight for the control of the execu- tive committee.
 N W. Cuney wishes to retain control so ne can distribute rhe Federal patron. age of Texls ill 1s96, whsn he expects the Republicans will elect the president, and N. B. Moore, the present chairman has the same object in view They are said 10 be uneompr3mising enemies.
 There are a number of influential Re publicans throughout the state here.

eaANoE AS FRAUDS.

Several Lottery Concerns Now Running
 In the East.
 NEW YORK, Aug 29.-Under the title of .frauds," a warning bulletin has been issued by the postoffiee department which forbids the cashing of money or ders drawn in favor of Sharon S Co, aud the delivery of registered letters sent to that firm by the Guaranty Loan aud Trust company of San Francisco. W. D. Cation 6 Co. of 27 East Four teenth street are the present New York correspondents of the Guaranty Loan and Trust company, having succeeded sharon & Co. Closely connected with this concern are the Empire State Lot tery company, which has no drawings of its own, but accepts the results of the Guaranty Loan and Trust company assignment of loans," and the Bank CTS Mutual company, which is policy game pure and simple. The evidence goes to show that one man controls all three concerns. Drawings made in the east are usually represented as giving the large prizes to lucky persons in the west, while at the same time in the west come lucky investors in the east are represented as having got the plums. The aggregate of the drawings of the Empire State Lottery company. S60, 600 monthly, is the same as that of the Guaranty Loan and Trust company.

Negro Charged With wrecking the Rock
 Island Train.

Island Train.
 LINCOLN, Neb, Aug. 29.-George Washington Davis, the negro accused of having wrecked Rock Island train near here on Aug. g, causing the death Of l people, had his preliminary hear ing before Judge Lansing. Fifteen or 20 witnesses were brought forward to relate circumstances tending to con meet Davis with the crime, but their testimony throws no new light on the case. Davis attorneys intro duced no evidence, but in their argn- ment asserted that the Rock Island was endeayoring to make scapegoat of Davis to escape liabilities for damages to the families Of the killed, and hinted that they would bring forward testi- mony at the trial to prove that Rock Island employees were at work on the bridge that day, and that some of the men were intoxicated.
 The court found that there was prob. able cause to hold Davis for trial, and bound him over to the district court, which meets in month. As the charge is murder in the first degree, no bail is allowable,

Fer surveyor E. Cook.

From the above list of candidates it can be clearly seen that the straight Democratic ticket is com posed of superior men; men capable and competent to discharge the duties of the offices to which they aspire in a capable and efficient manner Can as much be said for either of the opposition tiekets2
 Mir C. H Triplett, the Democratic nominee for Sheriff, is a man whose fitness for the position will be at once recognized and acknowledged. He has handled hundreds of thous- ands of dollars of public monies and has always been correct to cent in his accounts. As business man and collector he stands pre-eminent in Jefferson county, and as Sheriff will make an ideal officer.
 Maj. H. A Mccoy, the Democratic standard bearer for Circuit Clerk, is all experienced politician, pos sessed of good clerical abilities, q man of intelligence and a man who understands thoroughly the duties of the office.
 Mir. F. B. Flanders has served four years as Deputy County and Probate Clerk and knows every de tail in connection with that office. He is a competent and efficient man, and a better one for the position could not be found anywhere.
 County Judge W, D. Jones, who is candidate for reelection, has made an able, economical and con seien tious officer, and as one good term always deserves another, he should be elected overwhelmingly
 County Treasurer Kendall is the only candidate in the field who has no opposition whatever, and this is deseryedly so, because he has made an honest and capable officer
 The three candidates for Repre- sentatives, Messrs. Sallee, Hilzheim and Black well. are well-informed and intelligent gentlemen and would reflect credit upon Jefferson county in the Legislature That much eau t be saidof any of their opponents.
 Air J H. Shelby, the straight ticket candidate for Assessor on the Democratic side of the house, is an honest, intelligent and industrious. farmer, and would make g capable and efficient officer.
 N. L. Cook, for Coroner, is in the undertaking business aud knows the duty of a Coroner He is the right man in the right place.
 J. j. Martin, for Surveyor, is an old hand at the business and has served this county efficiently in the past in that capacity.
 The GRAPHIC has thus presented in brief he merits of the straight ticket candidates E sery one of them is qualified for the position for which he is named, and

There are three county tickets in the field for the suffrages of the people of Jefferson county, namely A straight Demo cratic ticket, straight Republican ticket and compromise Republi- can ticket Any citizen of the county who is at all familiar with the names of the candidates can clearly see where the true interests of the county lie. Aside from party Considerations, any man who is ae- tuated by the sole desire to do that which is to the best interests of the county, and to vote for those men who are best known to be qualified to discharge the duties of their various offices in a capable and efficient manner, will find, by refer ence to the personnel of the three tickets, that the true interests of the county lie in the election of the straight Democratic candidates.

ASorHKR HOMICIDE.
"A negro Shoots White Man Down and
Then Beats Him Over the Head
and Flees.

On last Thursday afternoon J. It.
Knox Was slot and killed by Henry
Peaster. Knox was white man liv-
ing Oh D. NJ. Wards place. Peaster is
negro who was working for Mr.. Ward
at his still two miles flom town.
Peaster had been at work on q tenant
house in the vicinity and left his work
and went three hundred yards out OF
his way in order to pass along where
Knox was ploughing and to pick a
quarrel with him. They both fired
at each other simultaneously at long
range, and too far for kuox's shotgun
to have any effect. Each then fired
two more shots, when the negro closed
on Knox with his pistol, knowing that
Knox had no other weapon, and with
a vile oath told him, II have you
now," and fired, the ball striking
Knox just below the tenth rib.
Knox then threw his shotgun at the
brute, who took the gun and broke the
lock and stock over knox's head. He
then jumped upon Knox with his feet,
and while in this act Mr.. Ward, who
had heard the shots, came upon the
scene and the negro fled. He has not
beea caught.
Knox was attended by DR.. Houseal,
but died Saturday morning. The in
quest was held in the afternoon and
developed the facts as above stated.
Knox came to Newberry from Green
vile about year ago and married a
daughter Of Mr.. G. w. Merchant.

Helena HeraldIrGs and News Notes.

Mrs. T. G.. Mcdowell was suddenly
startled out of her sleep, between II and
~ o'clock, last Friday night, by a
sharp, crashing sound, as though a
lamp or pistol had exploded in her
room. She perceived that the lamp
burned brightly and everything quiet.
The children were asleep and her room
undisturbed in any way. She was so
much agitated, however, that she could
not call for help. She lay awake for
some time, almost afraid to move, con-
jecturing the while as to the probab
cause of the mysterious noise. Sleep
came to her relief until morning, when
a search was made, and, to her horror,
she found that a pistol ball had passed
through pane of glass and over her
bed, just hGtle above where she was
sleeping all unconscious of danger. The
bullet struck the edge Of the mantle,
splintered the wood aud then fell to
the floor. The ball was from 80 calibre
pistol.
When she found how narrowly she
and her babes had escaped the peril of
the night, she was naturally very much
alarmed, aud it was impossible for
friends and neighbors to dissuade her
from the belief that it was the brutal
work of design. They tried to persuade
her that it could hardly be possible
there was a fiend in our midst that
would attempt her life, and that it
must have been the result of miserable,
acknowledgements shooting, of which
we hear 80 much and read 80 much
everywhere these days. Mrs. Mcdowell
telegraphed her husband who was on
the G. G. and A. road, and he came
over Saturday night fast as his train
could fetch him.
1t transpired the next day that the
shooting was done by some negro boys
who were said to have been firing at an
iron post on Gauntt street, about two
hundred yards away.
It is time that wearing loaded pistols
and shooting them off reck lessly should
cease. No ones life is safe, for there is
no accounting for bullet after it leaves
the mouth OF a pistol. 1t is criminal
offense. And shooting at mark at
midnight on the public highway is
reckless in the extreme.
Mrs. Louisa Zobel is visiting her
children in Charleston.
Mr.. John w. Speake closed the
Helena School last week after a very
prosperous and pleasant course. He
had about twenty-five pupils and by |
his ability, fairness, consistency and |
courtesy, maintained discipline, i'm
proved the school and gave satisfaction
to trustees and patrons alike. He left |
for his home yesterday on the best of |
terms with the children.
Magnificent showers of rain have
fallen upon the fertile fields of a CRATE
full people and vegetation grows won
drously apace. Corn and cotton never
better. But for that phenom-
email freeze which cut off our grain and
fruit supplies, the farmers would have
been enriched with a asuperabundance Of
good things. Let US so dcport ourselves
in the moral and spiritual world that
a normal condition of things may soon
prevail! IN the physical world-peace,
plenty and prosperity, with health and
happiness. SANS SoUCI.

Five car loads Of corn were received
