The first weeks session Of the Consti-
Convention was Of the utmost
harmony, and gave svery indication that
: the delegates were determined to make q
Constitution that would please every
honest white man who had the good Of
old South Corolins at heart. It seems,
I however, that this is not to be the case.
There are some delegates on the floor OF
{ the Convention who do not want peace
and harmony In onr State, and the great
aBoss, 2 Ben. Tillman, is one of them.
His actions and words in the Convention
last Monday was totally uDjustifable and
uncalled for. he has been placed in the
highest position in the gift Of the majority
Sotour people, and could have afforded to
have been more magnaminous, shown
more discretion and more judgment.
! Bnt such traits are not in him. We care
nothing about the cause Of the disgrace
s4ful scene. The name of "Butler" or
tsaluda'' is very small thing to cause
such scene in an intelligent body OF
white men. Ben. Tillman realizes that
She is king in South Carolina, and he
wanted to show his power. He did not
care what it cost. He popped his whip
and the majority Of his worshippers in
the Convention obeyed his command. II
was q vain-glorious exhibition of the
Wanton and ruthless manner in which he
uses his political power to crafty his
personal hates.

tsution to what all delegates mad to say
regardless of fac;ional affiliation, and II
the same temper continues good work
ought to result. -,
The Anderson delegation has been we'll
distributed on the Committees. MIR. j. .E.
Breazeale is on the Committee on the Ju-
dicial Department, Mr.. D. H. Russell

mittee on the Right of Suffrage, Mr.. r.
Glenn Is on the Committees on Charlta-
BILE and Penal Institutions and MuEici-
pal Corporations, Mr.. Prince is on the
Committee on Finance and Taxation, and
Mr.. Sullivan on the Bill of Rights. The
members of the delegation have other
appointments.
Mr.. Prince won signal victory in his
resolution shutting the door to new Coun-
ties. "Butler' County slipped through
a second reading, but the Prince resolu-
ton fixed it so that no other new County
should be created by the Convention.
The members of the Anderson delega-
ton have offered several resolutions for
the consideration of the Convention.
Mr.. Sullivan has resolution providing
for the annual levy of two mill tax on
ali taxable property in the State, the pro-
ceeds from which, together with all polls
received, shall constitute common
school fund, which shall be prorated
among the schools of the State. Mr..
Sullivan also has resolution relative to
railroad bonds and railroads.
Mr.. Prince has an iron-clad and sub

& Cyrus Teed, who claims to be q
second Messiah, and teaches that the earth
Is flat, Is busy developing the plans for
the New Jerusalem Of his sect, which is
to be built in Louisiana. In describing
this city he says: ''Tbe streets will be
400 feet wide, beautiful streets. We will
build the city in stories or tiers. One
tier or story will be for pedestrians, one
s for light traffic, another for railroads, etc.
We are going to have great big city OF

will gather at least four million Ethio-

Our State should remain verv quiet

year. The Convention and new Consti-
tution are fixed facts and there Is no use
kicking. The Tllman faction has decided
that they are willing to leave the matter
TO the ringleaders and they do not wish
Z it submitted to them. There are no elec-
tions to disturb any one. The meeting OF
s the Legislature and Congress will be

KoIb on the Crop.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Sept. 14.-Captain
r. F. Kolb, ex-commissioner of agricul-
ture and a well-known politician, has ad-
dressed an open letter to the cotton plant
ers in answer to inquiries from various
sections of the South.
In it he says among other things: No
intelligent man who is adequately posted
will take issue with me on the proposition
that the present crop of cotton will fall
far below the the needs of the worlds
consumption for the next twelve months.
In my opinion the crop can't possibly
reach 7,000,0 900 bales, and may fall below
6,500,000 think can give many good
reasons for my conclusion. A wet May
always means short cotton crop. This
is known fact to all growers Ct cotton
and stands as tradition handed down to
us by our fore fathers from generation to
generation ever since the production OF
cotton was introduced in this country.
This year we not only had the wet May,
but during the three following months OF
June, July and August, the rains contin-
ned over all the cotton States except
Texas. If we know anything OF cotton
production we must know the cotton
plant is sun plant and not water lily,
and hence too much water has very much
damaged the crop.
Then again too much moisture in many
sections has produced trust" and the
stalks, leaves aud bolls have turned red,
and not half crop will bo produced on
such plants. In other sections the boil
worm, army worm and "sharp-shooters"
have been very destructive and the crop
very nearly destroyed, besieged by all
these causes.
Again, the cotton crop, in the average,
is nearly one month late, and an early
frost would cut the crop off over l, ,0OO, ,O0O
bales. With so much moisture in the
soil this year we should expect frost this
year much earlier than usual.
AS I understand the situation OF the
present cotton crop, after diligentinquiry,
I think it possible and highly prcba ble
that not exceeding G,50O, 900 bales will be
produced.
advise that no cotton be marketed
during the next sixty to ninety days,
except to meet debt and actual demand.
If you hold your cotton until November
and December and will then market it
slowly, you are sure to get 10 cents or
more for every pound of it. Next year
continue to curtail your acreage and use
of fertilizer, make all your provisions at
home and choose to do as you have been
compelled to do this year against your
will and your next crop Of cotton vii!
bring 10 cents and more per pound and
the southern farmers will once more be
prosperous, happy people.

In one of General Benjamin +. But
ler's political cam mpaigns, says the Boston
Budget, he was to speak in hall which
had q small aperture over the speakers
desk. Some of the younger and dare
devil element secreted themselves in the
loft from which the hole opened and at an
impressive moment in the generals
speech huge wooden spoon suspended
by cord was seen descending slowly
from the ceiling. The effect upon the
audience was instantaneous, and amid
roars of laughter, in which even the dig
nified occupants of the platform could
not help joining, the spoon pursued its
downward course. hating only when op-
posite the speakers face. Mr.. Butler
eazed calmly atthe cause of the m erriment.
Then, reaching for the trophy, he said
graveIy: "Hello! There's one I didn't
get," and, pocketing the prize, he resumed
his address.
Says the Ncw York World: The
young man who wound up an evening Of
riotous pleasure with an attempt to blow
his brains out because he twas tired of it
alp may plead in mitigation of his offense
against the law that he has served as an
example and a warning to other fast
young men. He has called attention in q
conspicuous manner to the utter stupidity
and Stiffness of what is known as "a life
of pleasure" but is really life Of any
thing else than real pleasure. In all
other large cities there are great many
young men who are leading the same
kind Of life and getting about the same
opinion it. IF they are "tired of it alp
there is a better remedy than blowing
their brains out, and that is, by way of a
change, to try the novelty of leading a
decent, moral and useful life.
One of the most famous Australian
murder cases was unraveled by the ghost
of the murdered man sitting on the rail
of a dam into which his body had been
thrown. Numberless people saw it, and
the crime was duly brought home. Years
after dying man making his confession
said that he invented the ghost. He wit
messed the crime, but was threatened with
death if he divulged it, rs he wished to,
and the only way he saw out Of the "im-
passe' was to affect to see the ghost where
the body would be found. AS soon as he
started the story, such is the power Of
nervousness, that numerous other people
began to see it, until it's fame reached
such dimensions that search was made
and the body found and the murderers
brought to justice.
- The new woman has broken out in
another place in Georgia. This time she
comes to the front as distiller. A woman
in Jasper County and another in Chero-
kee have been granted the necessary
Government license to enable them to
establish registered distilleries from
which to make peach brandy. These are
the first cases of woman distlllers who
appear on the books of the revenue de-
partment. There have been isolated
cases of women who claimed to own Illicit
distilleries, but these have been Spartan
women who took the blame on themselves
In the hope that the Courts would be
lenient with them.
