The Court House is an unsightly build
ing. is inconveniently arranged and is
located in the wrong place. Ifthese wore
the only Objectionable features Of the
present bnilding, we would be opposed
to the erection of a new one. But the
present Court House is badly in need OF
repairs, and we think it economy to
spend this money on new one, which
the County will be compelled to build
before long. The records Of the County
are kept in the safest place provided for
their keeping, but the building should
be burned the records would also be con-
sumed. These records are of inestima-
|; BILE value to every taxpayer In the
County, and their being burned would
morally amount to criminal negligence
son the part of the people for failing to
Furnish a vault in which to securely keep
them. We believe q large majority OF
the taxpayers of the County are in favor
of erecting new building, and If the
next Legislature will give the Board OF
Commissioners the authority the new
Court House will soon be fact.

was no personal feeling If did so. 1t
was but the impulse of an honest heart
trying to speak the truth as it was under
stood by me. If have hurt any mem-
hers feelings in any way, either in de-
bate or in free personal intercourse, l beg
his pardon. For the few years that are
left me, sir, I shall always cherish the
remembrances of this Convention with
pleasure. I believe speak what every
mem Der ON this floor feels In his heart
when I say from the first day when we
met here to the present hour, the Con-
vention has become more and more con-
solidated as one man. and inspired by
one purpose, stimulated by one effort, to
do the best we could for our old mother
State, showing that we never have been
divided on principle during the last six
years of strife, and that our politics have
been based upon men and not measures,
personalities and not principles, and true
emocracy as defined by Jefferson de-
mands measures, not men.
It must be source of great gratitlca
ton to every member here and to their
constituents at home to see with what
unanimity, with what courteousness and
vet with what Independence of action
their representatives in this body have
made the Constitution which we have
lust ratified. 1t is rainbow o.. hope that
the State may hereafter be united as in
the past, as one man. For, remem ber,
nv countrymen, it took all the efforts
we could lay forth in '76, and for many
years thereafter, to control this State;
and if we become divided. as l fear we
may be, and as hope we will not for
some time to come, we may find it still
more difficult won't say impossible.
I have an abiding faith in the Anglo
Saxon race, as there never has been
considerable number of them together
anywhere that they did not dominate
any race with which they came in con-
tact; and whatever may happen | have
faith that they will rule. But as said,
let US never forget that 1t took the COM
bined forces of all the men, women and
children in South Carolina to get and
keep control, and that we ought to try In
a spirit OF self-sacrifice to come together
here as we were In rs.
Gentlemen, will not detain you lon
ger. I thank you for the high compli-
ment you have paid me. Would to God
could have done more in my feeble way
to help on the labors of this body. l
have done my best, and SO have you all
I hope that as South Carolinians, as white
men and Democrats we will go on as
prosperously In the future as we ever
have in the past. And no matter what
shall bstide US In the future believe we
can meet any fate, and nothing can 60
amiss with US unless we forget that we
are white men, Carolinians and Demo-

South Cardinals Delegation.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-Senator
Tillman put an end to-day to further
controversy as to his political status in
the Senate by attending the first Demo-
cratic caucus of the session. Many OF
the newspapers have insisted upon classi-
fying him with the Populists, but he has
stoutly denied the soft impeachment and
contended that he Is q better Democrat
than President Cleveland.
Senator Tillman is rapidly becoming
familiar with his Senatorial duties and he
is making friends with his associates.
To-day while the Senate was in session
Representatives Latimer, Strait and
Stokes entered the chamber and took
seats on the Democratic side. They were
soon Joined by Senator Tillman, who
ohatted with them about the State Con-
vention and other local matters. He
afterward called up several Senators,
including Senators Bacon, Of Georgia,
aud Roach, of North Dakota; Allen, OF
Nebraska Martin, of Virginia, and pre-
sented them to his South Carolina col
lesgnes.
Senator Irby arrived here last night,
but he did not appear in the Senate to,
day. In South Carolina circles it Is said
that he does not stand the slightest chance
Of reelection, for Governor Evans 1s
already slated to succeed him. Repre-
sentatives Latimer and Strait are still on
the "black list" at the postof1ce depart
ment, so far as the distribution Of postal
patronage is concerned During their
first term in Congress they were placed
upon the "black list" by Mr.. Bisseil,
who was then Postmaster General, and
up to date they have not been able to
control the appointment OF even fourth
class postmaster in their respective dis.
tricts. Having served in the House OF
Representatives with Postmaster General
Wilson, they looked for some recognii-
ton from him, but he appears to be foi-
lowing the precedent set by his prede-
cessor, so far as the two South Carollnl-
ans are concerned.
Messrs. Moorman, Johnson and Murray
who are contesting the respective seats
of Representatives L4timer, Stokes and
Elliott are here With their attorneys pre-
paring to go before the House committee

lima cases are called-Ne,Os and Courier

Mrs. Amelia A. Frost succeeded her
husband as pastor of the congregational
Church in Littleton, Mass, on October
81. A public installation was held, many
clergymen from surrounding towns
taking part in it This is the first time
in New England that woman has been
called as pastor offs church of this de-
nomination.. Mr.. Frost was obliged to
give up work through ill health, and his
wife took up his duties. For awhile she
preached in New Hampshire. Shortly
after coming to Littleton Mr.. Frost was
again taken i'll, and Mrs. Frost was gladly
accepted as preacher to the church in his
stead. Since then Mrs. Frost has been
preaching every Sunday.

Last Thursday three young men
were granted permission to play game
of cards in the lions cage at the circus in
Bourg, France, during the performance.
They did so. When one Of the lions
came up and smelt over M. Chauveeu,
one of the players, he wanted to show of
and pushed the lion away. Thereupon
the beast knocked him off his seat, caught
his clothes between his teeth, and rolled
him. The lion tanner then jumped IN
and pulled the great Jaws apart and gave
the party an opportunity to scramble out.
The audience applauded loudly.
