one, Mr.. Whaley saying he was sc
hoarse he could not speak long.
The nomination of Il temporary
Secretary was the next thing in
order. r. l.. Gunter of Aiken was
nominated and elected without op-

that position.
The roll of delegates was called
for and were handed into Sccreta-
ry Gunter.
NO COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
Chairman Whaley asked wheth-
or it would be necessaryf for the

a motion was at once made to
table the resolutions, but this was
withdrawn to allow discussion. |
The discussion which ensucd was
interesting.
MIR. James told why no had in
troduccd the resolution.
Larry CAN'T Of Spartnnburg was
in favor of the resolution with an
amendment providing for three
separate boxcs-one for prohibi-
ton, one for the Dispensary and
one for license. He was satisfied
that the vast majority of the white
people of South Carolina were in
favor of the Dispcnsary. (checrs.
Professors Marchnnt of Aiken
said TINT in November the people
would vote on the question of
calling constitutional convcn-
ton and that convention when it
met would settle the Dispensary
question. He moved to table the
resolution.
Mr.. Duncan opposed The rcsolu-
ton as unnecessary. In this
county both factions endorsed the
Dispensary. The people could
not get posted in time and the
vote would be light, which would
lgive the other side chance tC
say the people were not in favor
Of the law. He renewed the mo
ton to table and it was carried.

The Hon. w. D. Evans of Marl
boro introduced tho preamble ant
resolutions embodying tho Ali
ance demands:
Mr.. James moved to amond Mr.
Evans resolutions by specifying
that the free and unlimited coinag,

MIR. Evans stated that tho reso
lutions he had introduced embodi
cd tho platform upon which the
Democratic party had gone to vic
tory in 1892, and upon which the
candidates had gone through tho
campaign, and he thought it but
just that they should go into tho
election upon tho platform or
which they had canvassed the

a resolution to consider tn;
platform by selections was tabled
Mr.. Appelt raised the point thai
the resolutions were out of order az

WAS lost in the hubbub which on
sued. ..

block.
Sheriff McCrady, of Laurens
placed for a full discussion on the
question. His county had come
here uninstructod on tho question
of nominating a full ticket. He
wanted to do what was best for
the Reform movement.
WANTED RvANs BADLY.
A beaufort man jumped up and
nominated John Gary Evans. Ho
was out Of order and no attention
was paid to him.
Mr.. Donaldson, Of Georgetown,
said that this convention was here
for specific purpose. That pur-
pose was the nomination of a
Governor and Lieutenant Cover

should be injected.
MARCHANT AGAINST INSTRUCTIONS.
Captain Stoadman, of Aiken,
arose and said that Professor Mar
chant had gono contrary to the in
structions from his county, which
wero that no full ticket bc nomi-
Dated.
-Four or five people were on the
floor at the same time trying to
obtain recognition and the chair
man had hard time. He finally
recognized Professor Marchant,
who had arose to question of
personal privilege.
Professor Marchant Indignantly
denied that he was acting against
instructions.
GREAT DEAL OF CONFUSION,
The confusion at this point was
positively sickening. While every
body else was trying to got to say
something the gentleman who had
before prematurely nominated
Evans rushed up the aisle and
again performed the samo foat.
Chairman Cooper recognized u
delegate to make motion to Inv
on the table the substitute of Pro-
lessor Marchant to nominate a
full ticket.
The motion to lay on tho table
was passed. almost unanimously.
The question then rocurrcd to

SAID IT WAS GAG LAW.
DR.. Byrd arose and in strong Ian
guage SAID that he did not propos
} to let anybody gag him from doin

!, it was perfectly relevant. He af
, firmed his belief that Mr.. Brice
was really entitled to the floor.
Mr.. Brice was given the floor to
proceed with his protest against
the nomination Of candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Cover
lnOr.
| Mr.. Donaldson of Georgetown
asked Mr.. Brice if it was not true
that nine-tcnths Of the counties of

delegations to vote for nomina-

"You are very kind, said the con-

handing him check.

Selecting Roses.

If ! wanted one climbing rose only,
would select Gloire de Dion, and half
dozen others would be Chestnut Hybrid,

Waltham climber, Charles Lawson and
climbing Jules Margottin, says an Eng
lish writer. | have not included Marechal
Mel, as it can only be grown to perfection
in greenhouse, and in such selection it
would stand high Of tea roses to grow as
bushes the following are to be recommend
ed Catherine Mermet Isabella Sprunt,
Niphetos, Souvenir d Elsie, Sunset and w.
Allen Richardson. The tea roses do not
produce such large, snowy blooms as the
hybrid perpetuals, but they are very deli
cately scented and choice and neat in form
They are well adapted for making bou
quets and buttonhole flowers.
The most commonly grown roses are the
hybrid perpetuals, and they are such
numerous class that it is difficult to select
a few from them without leaving out very
many good ones, but the following will
give satisfaction whether grown in large
or small collection: Alfred Colomb, Centifo.
liza Rosea, Charles Lefebvre, Dupuy ia
main, La France, Marie Baumann, Madam
John Lang, Mrs. Harry Turner, Marechal
valiant, Ulrich Drummer, Horace Nernet
and Earl of Pembroke Newer varieties
than these could be named, but they are
more expensive, but not better for general
culture. Those named are all fragrant
roses, but some sorts are very deficient in
this merit.-Gorden and Forest.

Law of Cremation.

Through the peculiar instructions
of lady regarding the disposal of
her remains after cremation, atten-
ton has been called to the many for
malities required by the law in cases
of this kind. Her request was that
she should be cremated, and her ashes
be strewn about the grounds of the
house in New Hampshire in which
she was born. A permit from the
board of health was necessary for the
conveyance of her body to the Gem
etery, and another permit had to be
obtained for its removal to the Gre
matory. Before it could be deposit
ed in the retort it had to be viewed
by the medical examiner and his ap-
proval obtained for its incarceration.
To carry out the request of the de
ceased regularly licensed undertake
er had to be retained to make appli-
cation to the board of health for a
permit to remove the ashes from the
state, as the board would not other
wise grant permit. After comply
ing with all these requirements, the
remains were disposed of as the de
ceased had quested.-Boston Tran

The Historical MSS. commission
has recently printed the diary of the
earl of Anglesey, man of "grave
depol tment" and high office under
Charles II, who writes under date of
May 20, 1872:

clock at Lambeth the archbishop of

a union.-London Academy.

nearest place lumber could be secured

small tent in which to cook and eat.
The family slept in the wagons, and
with my brothers and hired man to
help set about making house.
The thick sod was cut from the
prairie in slabs about feet wide by
in length, and on the side of the
knoll, where an excavation had been
made in its side, these slabs were
placed one on top of the other until
the required height was reached. 1t
was arduous work, and l remember
what lot of excitement there was
when my father and my brother

MISCELLANY.
A Little Golden Thread.

Only packet Of letters,
That have hidden away.
All breathing to me the sweetness
OF many summer day.
There tender little peadings,
That have reached my inmost heart,
And the echo of that sweetness
In all my life has part.
only these cherished letters,
That no eyes but mine have read,
And keep them bound together
with little golden thread,
Only packet of letters,
Wi h pages soiled and torn,
But how many dainty fances
with each loving word are born!
All where is the hand that penned them,
In those dreamy summer hours
When we thought our life was Swallowed
Only by Loves farest flowers?
Only these cherished letters.
That no eyes but mine have read
That keep so closely guarded
with a little golden thread.
Ali but lovewOrds die so quickly
In this world of thorns and briars.
And the heart that beats most Gercely
Is the one that soonest tires
" Looking back brings tears of longing
In so many weary eyes,
That have seen their fond hopes vanish
Like the stars from morning skies.
Yet keep these faded letters,
That no eyes but mine have read
Dearly cherished closely guarded
BY a slender golden thread
Exchange.
