an old resident OF the county and his

The Fourth and Fifth wards each has
three candidates for clerk OF the district

Rohman, and the Fifth, Burr, Sizer and

The two strongest candidates for

Disfranchisemrnt scheme.

Two South Carolina Delegates Oppose the
acknowledgements scheme.
COLUMBIA, =. c., Oct. 2S.-In the
constitutional convention to-day
James Whipper, IA colored delegate,
spoke for two hours. contending that
the negroes never had been responsible
for the frauds committed in South
Carolina, when they were in power,
but that IL was the work
Of the designing white men for
which the negroes were not
responsible. He declared that the
scheme OF disfranchiscmcnt before the
convention was gotten up by design
ing men for their own interest. II H.
should be passed, the negroes would
fight it in the supreme court Of the
United States and in Congress and. II
all this failed, before the people OF the
country.
Ex-Congrcssman Robert Smalls, also
colored. contended that the negro was
here to stay and that il was to the in
terest of the white men To see that he
got all his rights.
Debate was then adjourned until
Monday.

The Broken Plate club is a curious

eral years ago a party OF manufacture
ers and merchants were dining together
when by chance a plate rolled from the
table. fell into the fireplace and broke.
Strangely enough. the number of pieces
co~rresponded exactly with the number
Of diners. Upon this circumstance q So
ciety was formed to include only those
then and there present. and to termi-
nate finally on the death of the last
member. To each man was assigned a
piece Of the broken plate. The men
meet and dine each year, and though
no deaths have occurred as yet in ne
little association. the unwritten laws
read that when each member dies his
piece shall be handed over to the Presi-
dent. who. n by one. shall fasten the
fragments together. When every men,

shall add his final BIT TO the plate, ce-

The Latest Prussian Census.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Prussia has
just completed u census and some of
the results are given in a report to the
state department by United States
Consul Geueral Dekay at Berlin. The
entire population June II last was
81, 49l ,sO9. an increase of 1,535, 0as since
December, 1890. The males increased
773,051 and the females 162, s77. In
Berlin the increase of females was
especially marked, being two and one
half times that Of the men. One of
the surprises of the new census was
the small increase Of Berlin's popula-
tion, it having been only 3a6, :ss, or
9 l-5 per cent for the past four and u
