WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

As stated last Friday, quite large
audience gathered in the court house
on Thursday night, to hear the woman
suffrage address by Miss Elizabeth u.
Yates. In the audience were a good
many ladies, old and young, and all
were highly pleased with Miss Yates's
lecture.
Miss Yates appeared on the plat
form at about 9 o'clock, and was in
troduced by T. F. Mellow, Esq. She
proved herself to be quite an attractive
speaker, and handled her subject in a
manner that could not fail to attract
attention and respect. Her voice is
full and clear, but low and even, and
she makes but little effort at gesticul-
tation. Her argument is based not as
may be commonly supposed on the
morbid desire of some women to take
part in politics; but on the fitness of
women in general to handle political
questions with as much intelligence

SITBMIT 1T BACK,

The State Democratic executive
committee is to hold a meeting in Col
umbia' tonight for the purpose of TAX
ing such action as it may deem desir-
able and expedient, in view of the
changed conditions that have been
brought about by Judge Goff's recent
decision in regard to the registration
law, and it is to be hoped that, in its
deliberations, the committee will be
guided by due moderation, caution
and proper wisdom.
The State Democratic executive
committee has, for some time past,
represented only the dominant white
faction in State politics. Tonight, it
must represent both factions, and also
deal fairly by the Negroes. Other
wise, it's power and influence as a
controlling factor in this State are

During the past few weeks, we
haveheard quite number of farmers
make q remark something like this:
"Well, most everybody intends to re-
duce their cotton acreage. That will
mean a smaller crop and a higher
price. Therefore, I believe 1 will put
in more cotton than I at first intended" I"
No doubt each farmer who figured
that way, thought the calculation Pc
culiar to himself, and that he was the
only man to get any special benefit from
the higher prices, caused by the reduc-
ton of acreage on the part of others.
But judging from the report of the de-
partment of agriculture, it seems that
somewhere there has been mistake.
The calculations of cotton raisers else
where have been indentical, and there
has been no reduction of acreage what
ever. 1t is even possible that llinfor-
nation will develop the fact that this
years acreage is larger than the acre
age of last year, and prices will be
lower than ever.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CoNvENTI0N.-
The semi-centennial convention of the
Southern Baptist church began its
sessions in the First Baptist church of
Washington, last Friday. Almost $500
delegates and visitors were present, in
cluding all the most eminent divines
and Iaymen of the Southern Baptist
church. Jonathan Haralson was unan-
iinously reelected president, and ]. T.
s. Park, of Texas, who was present at
the first convention of the Southern
Baptist church so years ago, was elect
ed first vice piesident. ]. Taylor Eli
son, Of Virginia, J. H. Fitzpatrick, of
Georgia, and B. H. Carroll, of Texas,
we.e also elected vice presidents.
Lansing Burrows, of Georgia, and o.
F. Gregory, of Maryland were re-elect-
ed secretaries; and Geo. w. Norton,
of Kentucky, and w. P. Harvey, treas
urer and auditor respectively. The
most important action that has yet
been taken by the convention was the
adoption of a report recommending
that State conventions, district associa-
tions and individual churches use all
their influence for the establishment of
the tithe system of giving in the de-
nomination.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

J.J. Wimbish, the Negro detective
who acquired considerable notoriey
In this county recently by swindling
Mr.. A. A. Barron out of sum Of
money, Is in trouble again.
After being released from custody
in York, Wimbish hung around York
Vile for a few days and then went
over to Lancaster, where he caused
the arrest of one John Little, colored,
on the charge of having murdered Po-
liceman Moran, of Charlotte. Sheriff
Hood was put to considerable expense
in having Little taken to Charlotte; /;
but only to hnd out that the fellow
was the wrong man. Wimbish lay
around Lancaster for several days, and
then went to Camden. He was brought
to Lancaster last week, however, on
the charge of having procured money
from a citizen of that place on false
pretences, and is now in Lancaster
Jail.
Upon his arrest in Camden, Vim.
bish "confessed" to the authorities
that his real name is Robert Wiggins; !;
that he was sentenced from Sumter
county, Ga, in July, 1890, to life i'm
prisonment for murder, and that he
made his escape from the chain gang
on Feb 10, 1891. He further said that
he has been seriously considering the
advisability of giving himself up to the
Georgia authorities in the hope that
he will eventually be pardoned.
That Wimbish ought to be in the
Georgia or some other chain gang is
quite evident but that he is an escaped
convict is doubtful. He is just
shrewd scoundrel. He told the es-
capped convict story when arrested on
the charge of swindling Mr.. Barron /;
but investigation did not develop its
truth. The probability is that his
object in telling the story is merely to
get himself back to Georgia without
paying any railroad fare.

the necessity of instituting certain re-

Christian spirit of the age. She told
quite q number of funny anecdotes,
and by dint of logic and persuasion,
convinced her audience that there was
a great deal more in her cause than
they at first had reason to suppose.
Miss Yates spoke for about an hour
and half, and at the close Of her
remarks, asked the audience for a
small contribution in behalf of her
cause. The contribution was what
she asked for-small. She left on
Friday morning for Rock Hill, and
spoke there Friday night.

WAITS FROM WARREN'S.
Too Much Rain-Memorial Exercises n

Too Much Rain-Memorial Exercises at
Ebenezer-Stung by Bees-Other Notes.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARRENs, S. c., May 13.-Our far
mers are gloomy over the immediate
prospects. Never in their past ex-
perience have all things appeared so
discouraging-not even in '91, for then
they did manage to get their crops
planted. For the three and one-half
months ofthe year, nothing was done,
and there have been but few days
since then that the ground has been
dry enough to plow. AS soon as it
gets in suitable condition more rain
follows. On last Tuesday, the hardest
rain that We have ever seen fell here,
and on Saturday one nearly as hard.
Cotton is not all planted and but little
corn. The stand of cotton is fine and
so is that implacable foe of the planter,
crab grass, and unless it soon gets some
attention, it will be hard to extermi-
nate. The only thing that looks prom
ising is small grain, and there is not an
over abundance of it in acreage.
The Memorial exercises at Ehenezer
were not failure. The account of
them we leave to the more able CORES
pondent from Rock Hill, but we can
not refrain from complimenting Ebene-
zer's youthful but talented principal
on his address, which, in our estima-
tion would do credit to one older in
years and more experienced in pub
lie life. The patrons of Ebenezer are
proud of Prof. Smith and justly so.
Colonel McMaster, in referring to the
different ways in which the dread
full war of the rebellion might have
been averted, incidentally referred to
a conversation he once held with Lieu
tenant D. J. Logan, and complimented
his wisdom and paid a little tribute to
his memory. Lieutenant Logan was
the father of Mr.. ]. R. Logan, one of
Bethesda's most popular men.
Mr.. J. H. Duncan, while hiying a
swarm of bees few days ago, was 80
severely stung as to make him seri-
ously i'll, and for few days his friends
were alarmed at his condition; but he
is again able to be out.

his honor, Judge Benet presiding, and
at once resumed consideration of the
unfinished business of the session.
The first case called was that of the
General Electric company against the
Blacksburg Land and Improvement
company. This was jury issue, but
was tried before the judge on agree
ment. The decision was for the
plaintiff.
The next case was that of ]. A. n.
Glenn VS.. Walker Steele and others,
which came up on exceptions to the
report Of the referee. When The

the case had not been concluded.

two gallons of whisky in the hands of
L. R. Byrd, at Charleston last Satur-
day. The whisky had been shipped
from Savannah, and Beach was prompt
ly taken before Judge Simonton who
ordered that he be required to pay a
fine of $500. Beach declined to pay
the fine and was committed to Jail.
The case will at once be taken to the
United States supreme court on habeas
corpus proceedings and the correctness
of Judge Simonton's recent dispensary

practically at an end. The RESPONSE
hility on it, therefore, is great.
Up to last Thursday, both white fac.

Negro majority in this State should be

the question as to whether this should

DISTINGUISHING "a single white man."
presented formidable issue. Now that
Judge Golf has practically decided that
all Negroes will be entitled to vote in
the approaching election, the import
ant question is not whether "single
white man" shall be disfranchised but
whether the white men can control the
convention, and upon the action of the
State Democratic executive committee
tonight, this question will be largely
determined.
Judge Golf to the contrary notwith.
standing, that the united white people
can control the State even in the face
of a Negro majority of $4,000, there
can he no doubt. The majority of
the white people of the State only
want justice. A simple educational
or property qualification, or both,
bearing on all men alike, would be
Just, and it seems that upon fair
presentation of the question, such a
proposition would be acceptable to a
majority of the white people. Then,
let the franchise question 90 at that.
With this settled, give the people the
further assurance that whatever con-
stitution may be adopted will be SUBJ
mitted back to them for ratification or
rejection, and if the new constitution
shall prove to be worthy of endorse
ment, it will certainly 60 through.
The suggestions here outlined look
hard; but it will be well to remember
that when we can't get what we want,
we must take what we can get and
according to our view, under the cir
cumstances, this is about the best there
is in sight.

Death of a Most Estimable Lady.
Columbia Evening News, Friday:
Mrs. Amelia NJ. Browne, wife of Rev.

at l1.45 o'clock this morning. 1Irs.
Browne was the daughter of the late

life long Methodist. That she was a
Christian was fact apparent to those

Why Simonton Didn't Sit.
There has been some question as to
why Judge Simonton did not sit with
Judge Golf in the recent registration
case. A lawyer has explained the mat
ter to the Columbia Register. This cir
cult consists of the States of Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Caroli-
ma and South Carolina. The presiding
judges are Golf and Simonton. They
have equal Jurisdiction. Judge Simon
toms authority in West Virginia is the
same as Judge COTS authority in
South Carolina. Judge Simonton was
a member of the South Carolina legis-
lature at the time the registration laws
were enacted, and for that reason, the
lawyers thought it would be improper
to ask him to sit in judgment on the
case.
