Mr.. Edltor: In behalf of the
community we take this meth
cd of extending Rev. r. F..
Nelson our sincere thanks for the
good that he has accomplished
and for the labor that he has done
at Golden's. Creek church, this
year. While he is not the pastor
there this year, yet he has taken
great interest to increase the mem-
bership Of tho church and to de-
velop the musical talent there is
in this section. Ho held pro-
tracted meeting at Golden's Creek
church, and made several occa-
sions to the church. He was thon
benevolent enough to teach ten
days singing ut the same church
which closed on the evening of the
3Oth instant. All of this he did
free gratis. The school closed
with n grand entertainment at the
close of which Rev. j. f. Nelson
addressed himself quiet decorious-
ly to the students, .,
May God ever remember and
bless Mr.. Nelson and his labor, is
the prayer of j. ALoNzo BRowN.

| EDITOR JOURNAL: In'my speech at Pick
ems you quote me ns saying lin speaking Of
a constitutional convehtiom "was not in
favor of property or educational qualii-
| cation or to strike out the two mills school
tax"
| Now Mr.. Editor, | know yOu did not IN
| tentionally misuuote me, but that it was an
unentcntional error in some way. There
fore, | VIII endeav0r through your paper to
define my position on that subject. AS to
the educational qualification, there is no
| one more in favor of il than | am. 1t -
stimulant to education, and anything that
will tend to make parents do more for the |
education Of their children is a good thing,
hence, | am in favor OF it.
As To the two mills school tax, il it is
stricken f.0m the constitution, will il not
DESTROY our free school system? Will the
Legislature make an appropriation for
School purposes: They. will il it can be
done in way that the taxes paid by the
whites will go to Til. white school and the
amount paid by the negroes to their schools.
l am in favor Of it,. but can it can be done?
IL it not contrary to the constitution of the
United States: If it is what can he done
o keep up II syStum Of free schools?
1t is not right to tax the people to kcoD
Up the Colleges of the State and do nothing
or fhcm in the common schools.
l am not in favor of any discrimination,
'ut if YOU do discriminate do it in favor Of
he poor. Property is able to take care of
tsrlf, not SO with poverty.
l am III favor Of such laws as will give
Equal rights to all and special privileges
% none"
This is II white mans government and tho
whites intend to rulo 1t. If there il no
other way to keep the whites in power in
South Carolina, l would DO in favor of a
qualification, but let it be the last
resort. a property qualification would dis
franchise many OF our.best white men, and
drive them from our State. "a thing that il
dangerous to the prosperity and welfare of
the State.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l have defined my posi-
tion briefly and if have any critics hope
to hear from them through the columns of
your paper.
This is an important matter and can not
be too we'll discussed, as the people are
soon to vote on the matter.
Respectfully,
LABAN MAULDIN.

TO PAY NO BOUNTIES.
Carlisle Has Made Up His MIND
on That.
However, 1t Has Been Decided That
Sweet Wines Can Be For
titled Free.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Secretary Car
Isle authorized the Official announcement
to day that he would not pay any sugar
bounty earned but unpaid when the new
tariff bill went into effect, August 20. This
Secretary's refusal to pay the sugar bounty
claims will be based upon the clause in the
new tariff bill repeating the sugar-bounty
provisions of the Mckinley law, which
concludes as follows: "And hereafter it
shall be unlawful to issue any license to
produce sugar or pay any bounty for the
production of sugar of any kind under
said act." The Secretary will write an
official letter to Senator Manderson en-
bodyinR bis decision.
Commissioner Of internal Revenue Mil
ler has issued circular regarding section
6S of the new tariff act providing for the
fortifcation free of tax of pure sweet wine.
After recitlng the section, it says:
IL will be observed that under the section
above quoted the addition Of pure boiled or
condensed grape must or pure crystallIZed cane
or beet sugar TO the pure grape juice or the

scribed in the act of October /, $780, prior TO

BOTH SILVER MEN.
Yet Teller and WOicott Are Good
Republicans,

DENVER, Sept. 12.-There we're 953 dele
gates present at the Republican State Con.
vention to-day. few of whom were women
taking part in their first State convention
under the equal suffrage law. Senator
James w. McCreery was elected temporary
chairman, committees were appointed and
a recess taken. The indications are that
A. w. McIntire of Alamosa will receive
the nomination for Governor.
Before recess Senator Wolcott addressed
the convention. lie urged the redemption
of the State from Populist misrule. He
said he would leave the Republican party
when some other was ready and able 10 do
more for silver, and not before.
"a new element has entered politics, F"
he said, "and the women of the State must
bear their share of the burden. There is
no good citizen who Goes not thank bis
maker that the women will cast their bal
lots with him to prevent misrule, Since
Colorado became State there has never
been an hour when It's motto could so
earnestly be invoked as now, Nothing
without divine aid There must be
enough men and women in this State to
save it from further misrule. l believe
that this convention will not listen to the
claim of any man for office, but will select
citizens who will save the State from mis-
rule"
At the conclusion of Senator Woleott's
remarks Senator Teller took the platform.
He gave brief history of the fight in
Congress last winter to prevent the repeal
OF the Sherman bill, and stated that tne
silver cause all over the world was grow
ing so rapidly that. in his opinion. it yould
be but short time until a free coinage
Law would be enacted by Congress. He
agreed with his colleague in his statement
that he was willing TO withdraw from the
Republican party when it ceased to be
friendly to the cause of silver.
The committee on credentials made their
report and the temporary organization was
made permanent Nominations being In
order the following we're made: For
Judge of the Supreme Court, John Camp
bell of Colorado Springs; for Governor, A.
w. McIntire of Alamosa; Lfeutenant-Gov-
ernor. Judge Brush of Greeley; Secretary
of State, A. b. McGaffey of Denver; State
Treasurer, Harry E. Mulnix OF Trinidad.
