newspaper men waited patiently. at the
adiournment the com m1ttee gave out the
following address, which was announced
to embrace all that wss intended to be
made public. The address reads:
To the White Voters Of South Carolina:
The working committee, constituted by

and Conservatives which met In Colum-
sbia on the 9th March last, commonly

fronting the people OF this State,
deem It proper and expedient to make
some recommends ationa IN further-
ance Of the we'll known objects and pur-
poses OF its organization. We desire to
call attention again to the cardinal princi-
pIe set forth In the platform adopted by
that Convention, namely, the mainte-
nance of white supremacy "by fair and
constitutional methods" and to earnestly
urge upon every patriotic sbno South

 LOOKING FOR A VESSEL,

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-Ths steamer Mariposa brought the news from Honolulu today that the authorities there are watch ing for the arrival of the schooner Vins, Captain Burns, which sailed from this search of an alleged valuable guano island in the South sea. The government off, cials say the Vine was chartered to carry arms by the same people who sent the first installment on the Wahlberg. Several persons are now under arrest for supposed participation in the scheme to bring arms into the country. It is said that nesotia- tions wero conducted by one Csrimonos, who is awaiting trial. His arrest was based upon certain correspondence which fell into the hands of the authorities, and it was through that correspondence that suspicion fell upon Captain Burns aud the Vine.

closed until rain or the sun melts the snow. An incident of this unusual weather here is the inability of the trade to supply the demand for rubber shoes and boots, the stocks oi every house in the city being ex- hausted. Many broken legs have resulted from coasting.
 Specials to the Constitution from Thomasville, Brunswick, Savannah and other south and east Georgia points state that the snow is the deepest ever known. Albany had sleighng today for the first time in its history. ln the mountains the snow Is 6 feet deep, and special from Murphy, N. O., says that it IS from 10 to F feet deep iu the mountains of western North Carolina. The signal C fire here says that the storm will continue until to- morrow eveuing.

HEFLIN, Feb. 14.-Once again we have sunshine. The oraces in this section have been completely puzzIod, as nons of their weather predictions would come true. The chronologists have taken in their signs and turned their charts to the wall, as such weather as the last few days has not been known in more than half century. Some trouble has been experienced Tn this sec tion. The ground is covered with ice, which makes walking disagreeable and danger ous.
 Miss Emma Johns of this place fell yes- terday while skating and sustained an in- jury that may give serious trouble. Several people had narrow escapes. Most every one who attempts walking has fallen.
 Old Mrs. Morris, near this place, who lived in little house to herself, was so badly burned last week that she died from the effects. She was near 100 years old ,and was partially crazy. She could walk two or three miles, and her mind seemed to pc as active as it had been in years. She had lately carded and spun thread to make e bed tick, and she furnished herself pin mouey by selling socks of her own knit. tin0.
