NO CHANCE FOR PEACE.
The Conservatives Issue an Address,
Calling their Forces Into Action.

To the People Of South Carolina: On the
third Tuesday In August con vention will be
elected which will meet at Columbia In Sep
tember to make new constitution ior tne
State. This election will be as important to
you as that o: 1876. The men who will repre-
sent you in the convention Will have more
power than any officials provided for by our
laws. They will create law; by thelr actlon
offers and judges will be governed hereafter:
All your personal and property rights, and
those Of your children, your liberty and your
and peace of the State for the future will be
in the keeping Of that convention.
II the day of election for delegates finds you
disorganized. undecided, dlVlueo oy ihctl9tia'
differences, personal preferences and local In
terests, the politicians who control the party
organization and State election machinery,
the patronage and all the of1clal lnnuence
will easily secure absolute control or the con.
vention which will have such enormous power
over you and yours.
We believe you have too much love for your
State, too much respect for yonr own Liberties
and rights to surrender such power to men
whose only interest and apparent purpose Is
TO secure for themselves permanent place and
rule regard ess of the results 10 the people and
OF the will of the people.
The Conservative Democracy is the only
political organ ization in South Carolina not
controlled by the politicians who are now In
Office. For that reason IL Will oHer lts active
aid and cooperation to all citizens who SIM
made by tree men who will represen respect
and guard the interests and feelings OF the
people, regard less Of the ambitions and needs
Of the politicians, such men 10 be chosen by
amicable agreement and common consent, II
possible, by a straight anti-Ring fight II nec-
essary.
The executive committee OF the Conserva-
tive party, therefore, 10 accordance with the
resolutions unanimously adopted, respectful. !.
ly urges all mem bers of that party to proceed
i'm medi lately TO organize clubs in each tow n
ship OF the State. and on or before July 9Th, to
meet in county conventions and elect county
executive committees, and member for each
county OF the State executive committee.
The present county chairmen, or persons TO
be appoin ted Tor that purpose by the present
chairman OF this committee, are requested To
begin the work of organization without delay.

"WhRt Can She DO -

Any thinking mind can easily rea-
son it out that it lies with our women,
far more than with our men to rig ht
things in the world. Woman is the
moral power; she is the axis upon
which generations must turn. She is
that to-day, she will be that to-mor-
row. And size will hold that power,
and that influence will he hers, and
solely hers, just as long as she remains
womanly and is willing to believe and
content to feel that her greatest unlver-
sity is the home, and her best students
her children and husband. Away
from that arena she can never be what
she is i'm it. This is the reason why
the so-called "new woman" can never
be, and why her advent finds no favor
with the inielligent.-Ladie's Home

No Hopes of u Compromise.

The Advisory Committee Of Conservatives
and Reformers met in the Court House iasl
Saturday. Hon. l. H. McCalla was calIeo 10
the Chair. w. c. MCGOWAN. Esq, was ASKED
to act as Secretary. The Conservatives were
more as represented as the Reformers.
There was not much disposition TO SPEAK
Both sides were so reluctant TO break the 81
lence, that we were reminded OF the express
ion-"armed neutrality"
This editor was not present during tne
whole Of the meeting, as he had an appoint
meat to meet the 10 train on the G., Z. q n.
road.
Before leaving the meeting, however, we
were Impressed with the idea that no terms
could be agreed upon.
AS far as we could j1dge, majority OF the
Conservative representatives wanted an equal
division of delegates to the State Convention
three and three.
The ReIormers were willing TO adopt res
olution recommending the people to vote LOT
four Reformers and two Conservatives.
This did not satisfy the Conservatives Tor
TWO reasons They thought that ii divlSion
was made, 1t should be equal. And. second
they thought the proposition 10 recon
mend" q particular course on the voter had
no binding force.
While we believe nothing was said to that
effect up to the time we left, yet we believe
that the Conservatives wanted an assurance,
more binding than recommendations
that the Executive Committee should adopt
q rule that no ballot should be counted that
did not have on 1t the required number oil
Conservative and Reform candidates.
We believe the Reform leaders at Aobeville
have never been willing to give more than
ope-thIrd to the Conservatives. and we believe
the Reformers did at one time pass resolu-
tion expressing willingness to give one
third to the Conservatives.
While we have no doubt that there is sem
timent here which desires political peace, yet
we doubt If they are sufficiently strong to con-
troll the county.

Conservatives TO Organize.

A number of Conservatives met in Colum-
bia one night last week. AS result, an ad
dress is issued to the people of South Caro-
lima, calling upon all Conservatives to organ
ize clubs on or before July 9Th.
We presume that an effort will be made 10
prevent as many Democrats as possible from
tax Ing part In the primary election for dele
gates 10 the State Convention, aud thus be
free from legal or moral obligation to vote for
the nominees Of the Democratic party.

The Chance of u Life Time.

Mr.. Greene. of Boston, the most eminent
mill builder in this country, was in AbbeVille
last Saturday to meet the directors of the Alb
beville Cotton Mill. He came on the one
O'CLOCK train over the g., c. N, and went
at once to the mill grounds, walking over
the place and making note of the abundant
water supply. He appeared pleased with the
water, the grounds, the location, and, In fact.
everything except our small subscription 10
the capital stock, $4,000.
Being pleased with the whole surroundings
he is not only willing TO assist US In the prac-
tical work of building the mill, but gives as
surance that II we raise 100000 more that he
or his friends will put In 100000 to the capital
stock, 80 that we will be enabled to put up
ten thousand spindle mill. He says mill Of
that size will pay, and that he and his friends
will show their faith In it by putting their
money in with ours.
This is perhaps the best offer that any town
could hope to get. and II remains for the
world TO see if we have any faith in ourselves
Mr. Greene is pre-eminently the greatest mill
builder in the country, and If our surround
ings are such as TO induce him and bis friends
TO invest their money solely for the returns
In dividends, surely our people can invest
where they will receive like dividends as well
as the great incidental advantages 10 be de-
rived from the presence OF the mill in our
midst.
By the building OF the cotton mill The
cotton market will be greatly. improv-
ed A market for all kinds OF country pro-
duce will be opened. A population OF some
two thousand will be added to the town, and
business of all kinds will be enlivened and
made more bouyant. Trade and ready cash
will be good all the year through. Property
of all kinds will advance in price.
Subscriptions to the amount OF ten thou
sand dollars, to the capital stock Of the com.
pany, were received yesterday evening.

M. T. COLEMAN.

He who lives within the sound Of q
cateract is unconscious of its roar.
This body is not home, but an inn;
and that only for short time.
Night and day Jesus is near his fol-
lowers, watching them in sympathy
and in tenderness.
Work at the command of Jesus is
successful work, whatever the result
may be.
Life appears to me !too short to he
spent in nursing animosity or register
ing wrongs.
There is no human life so poor and
small as not to hold many u divine
possibility.
The end of life is to be like unto God,
and the soul following God will be
like unto Him.
Il Life's evening, we may rest assured,
xA take~.its character from the day
t14t has preceded il.
fMen have sought to save their corn-
try but who, before Jesus, sought 10
save the world?
Jesus does not simply give light
he is the Light. He does not show
the way, he is the Way
The liquor traffic is highwayman,
who demands, not your money or
YOUR life, but your money and your
life.
Some men will pray for twenty
minutes, and then ask the lord to for
give them their short-coming.
Lazy men are the most positive
they are too lazy to inform themselves.
or to change their minds.

the cry Of fire. Eyes were cast around and
n part OF the residence of Mr.. +. l.. Morrow
on Oak Street was seen to be in flames. The
firemeD responded promptly and very soon
had the fire under control. The "N0lunteer
Brigade" reached the scene of cOnfagation
first and did most Of the work. The damage
was slight.
The Abbeville Rifles made fine appearance
while drilling on the square last Friday alter
uoon. Several members failed TO respond 10
the roll call and squad was sent out 10 hunt
them. The result being several beloted mem.
bers and a fine for each. Sheriff Nance made
a short speech before the boys. in which he
thanked them for their help and efficiency
during the Mt. Carmel trouble. He ended by
marching them up TO Speeds soda fount,

The Dispensary Law.

Charleston seems determined to resist the
dispensary law, and her grand juries refuse
to find bills of indictment against persons
charged with unlawfully dealing in liquor.
Politicians are urging political organiza.
tion to overthrow the regularly constituted
Democratic party.
From these facts it would seem that Charles.
ton Is not very happy.
The lights before us lead US To believe that
organization against the Democratic party is
inevitable. In the end public good may be
effected thereby.
Let the organization proceed. If the liquor
element of Charleston is TO control the State
and nullify her laws, it is but right that we
know it. BY arranging the opposing forces
we may learn who is to ultimately rule and
govern the State.
