It is peculiarly strange that Lex
ington, Spartanburg and Lancaster
should have Reform press opposed
to the holding of a Constitution Con-
vention. The three counties have
clear white majorities and possibly
such papers pander to what they
imagine a popular thing in their
counties, in their imaginary appeals
in half Of the ''poor white mem
Cotton Plant.
The Dispatch opposes a conven-
ton because it is contrary to the
spirit and principles of the Reform
party, in that the party is pledged
to the primary system. The elec,
tive franchise is too sacred to be dele
gated to other persons with unlimi,
ted and sovereign powers to frame
the organic law of the State. When the
Cotton Plant or any other paper by in
timation or otherwise says that the Dis
patch panders to what it imagine a
popular thing, it says something which
it should know to be false, and with
out even the appearance of truth.

The pretense that constitutional
convention would rob the poor man
of any of his rights is pure bosh.
Won't the poor man have his say in
electing the delegates? And amt
the poor people in a majorlty?--Pa-
triot.
True, friend; ''poor man will have
his way in electing delegates" but as
tits the eavowed purpose fthat conven-
ton to disfrachise the poor white
man and negro, by making an edu-
cational and property qualification to
vote, it will be the last political way
he will ever have.

OBITUARY.

John Thomas P. Crosson, was
born in Newberry District, S. c.,
February 18th, 1882, and died at
Fredonia, Lexington county, S. c.,
October 9Th, 1894. His parents
were James and Rebecca Crosson,
who were worthy members Of the
Associate Reform Presbyterian
church. By them he was brought
up in the faith of their fathers, he
was admitted in early life to the
church of his parents, in whose fel-
lowship he continued until death,
ever faithful to every trust and re-
sponsibility committed to him by the
church of his choice, although living
many miles away, for the last three
years of his life, yet he was often
found at Prosperity church, especially
on communion occasions.
Nh. Crosson was possessed of
practical mind. He enjoyed good
educational advantages, graduating
from Erskine College in the class of
1852.
Soon after graduating, he en-
barked in the work of teaching, which
calling he prosecuted with marked
success for four years.
He was most happily married in
May, 1856, to Rasamah C. Cook, of
Newberry District, S. G,
This union was blessed with nine
children, FIVE sons and four daugh-
ters; two Of their daughters have
passed away.
After marriage he became a
farmer, which calling he followed un-
til his death, excepting the four
years he spent in the army; no
period of his life brought out more
of the noble traits of his Christian
manhood than those four dark
years of war.
In February 1891, he moved from
Newberry county, to Lexington
county, where he had purchased
alarge landed estate, and where, by
his energy, he had the village Of
Fredonia chartered, establishing
post office and other benefits to the
community, bat he has been cut off
from loved ones and family.
His faith in Christ was firm to the

A Wonderful Conuueror

No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed
down from generation to generation,
it is found in nearly every family, in
some form. 1t may make its appear
ance in dreadful running sores, in
swellings in the neck or goitre, or in
eruptions of varied forms. Attack.
ing the mucous membrane it may be
known as catarrh, or developing in
the lungs it may be, and often is, the
prime cause Of consumption.
In whatever form scrofula may
manifest itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla
is its inveterate foe and conqueror.
This medicine has such powerful al
terative and vitalizing effects upon
the blood that every trace of impur-
ity is expelled, and the blood is made
rich, pure and healthy. 81.

Five cents cotton, and 100000
Constitutional Convention are gloomy
issues for our people.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed 70 be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore req aires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails
to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials. Address,

The only hope of the Republicans
is in the Indifference of our people,
If our people fail to do their duty,
they hope to furnish some excuse to
an unscupulous Republican Congress
to unseat the Democrats, should the
Republican party, the party Of plum
der, of Force Bills and negro domin-
alton, chance to have majority in
the next Congress. There is little
prospect of this, since the odious
Federal Supervisors will no longer
be at the polls to bulldoze the igno-
rant voter.

NOT INCONSISTENT.

r. has been remarked that the Dis
patch is somewhat inconsistent In
opposing the call for constitutional
convention and advocating the elec-
ton of John Gary Evans, the recog-
nized champion Of such a con7en-
ton.
The position of the Dispatch isen-
tirely consistent nor does one position
inthe least conflict with the other. Mr..
Evans is the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for Governor, having re-
ceived his nomination after comply
ing with all the rules and regulations
made and required by the party OF
which he is the head and only leglti-
mate representative for the Office for
which he has been nominated. No
matter how bitterly we may oppose
him OF how warmly advocate HIM, he
is the nominee of the organized De-
mocracy in the State and as such ne
holds aloft the banner of white su-
premacy and is the sentinel which
guards white necks from negro heels.
Under these circumstance to oppose
his election we would be acting the
part Of a traitor and draw down
upon ourselves the just and righteous
INDIGNATION of all liberty loving peo-
pie and be ashamed to face our wife
aud helpless little ones. We have
never supported, advocated nor
voted for an Independent candidate,
that is one who opposes the regular
Democratic nominee and may God
forget us if we ever do as long as
the Democratic party is true to its
past traditions and principles and is
faithful to them in the future. This
paper has never abused other men
for holding contrary opinions, and
for this reason it is contented to
leave DR.. Pope to his conscience and
to his strange ''bed fellows"
The constitutional convention has
never been a party measure, and IN
deed it should never be made one.
1t is a question in which every per-
son is interested and in the franz
ing of which every one should have
voice. The views of the fathers
of the scheme are too vague and in
definite; their purposes are shrouded
in too much mystery; they declare
that the people are not to be trusted
with the elective franchise and deny
them the right to vote upon the adop-
ton of the constitution, and by this
refusal, were it even aparty measure,
they have gone back On the bed
rock principle of the Reform
Movement, which guarantees a
primary for all political measures,
thereby relieving Reformers from it's
support; because it is intended to
make the dispensary and other ques-
tions part of the organic law of
the State; because the election of
Mr.. Evans does not mean that a
convention will be called. Under
these circumstance we can consist
emily advocate the election OF the one
and advise the defeat of the other
