THE sinking of the Brazilian Aquida-
ban by torpedoes following the destruc-
ton of the Chilean Blanco Encalada a
few years ago is cumulative evidence
enough that if ships will only stand
perfectly still and permit two or three
torpedoes to be fired at them at short
range, they are pretty certain to be
mortally hurt. And that is about all
that is yet learned about torpedo war
fare.

THE BOOK OF TIE FAIR.

The Book of the Fair is the only work
in any wise attempting to reproduce in
print the Worlds Columbian Exposition
entire. In this respect it is without a
competitor, and perusal of the book
and look at it's handsome illustrations
will be the next best thing to seeing the
fair itself. 1t confines itself neither to
art alone on the one side, nor to dry sta
tistics on the other, but it presents in
attractive and accurate form the whole
realm of art, industry, science and learn
ing, as exhibited by the nations at the
fair, and the work, like the fair itself, is
magnificent. Many books on the great
exposition have been published in the
last few months, and THE Chronicle
has persistently declined to lend its col
umns in praise of any of the various pub,
lications purporting to describe or illus
trate the Worlds Fair, but we do not
hesitate to commend the Book of the

Conservative Reformers Issue all Ad-
dress.
Chlunlbin Sknte. Dec. I.

Asa result of largely attended eau
Gus held last night the following was
made public:
To the Democratic Voters OF South
Carolina In the progress of the Reform
movement, we have reached critical
period in the history OF the State. All of
the essential demands of that movement
may properly be regarded as accom-
plished facts, and having been accepted
by the people, should no longer be
cause of irritation and dissension.
The Constitutional Convention alone
remains to be enacted upon by the peo-
ple, and it is unfortunate that they are in
such state of mind as to prevent 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 have led to this state OF
affairs we will look only to the future
and leave the dead past to bury its dead.
BILE of realizing the good that can be ac
complished, and the great harm that may
be done to our State and people by
sovereign body like Constitutional
Convention every one who sees and
feels the necessity and Importance OF
securing the unity of our people and
white supremacy by a well regulated
suffrage, without disfranchising white
voter every patriotic citizen who is
aware of the ills and evils, affecting and
threatening the body polite, whether Of
social, political, financial or industrial
character, will readily admit that some-
thing ought to be done to correct the evils
briefly alluded to and to secure the good
80 easily within our reach.
Therefore we, the undersigned Refor-
mers, 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,
educational and political interests, do
hereby call upon all of our Democratic
citizens who sympathize with these
views, and are willing to abide the re-
suits of the Reform movement, to ear
nestly consider the Importance of a non
partisan convention, composed OF the
wisest and best men of both factions, and
to take such action as is deemed best to
secure it.

Winnsboro Ne,us and Herald says !:
"The purpose of Mr.. Ashley's bill to pro-
hibit the sale or purchase ofwheat or corn
in Anderson County is all very good,
but, of course, such matters cannot be
corrected by legislation. This bill,
however, tends to show the tendency OF
the times. It is the logical offspring OF
such legislation as the Dispensary Sys-
tenn and many of the strange pieces OF
legislation proposed in these very strange
times. It would be good thing, no
doubt, for Anderson County, but you
cannot curtail the liberty Of the citizen
that way"
