SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
Yesterdays session of the South
Carolina constitutional convention was
marked by the introduction of large
number of ordinances affecting almost
every department. of government and
making vital changes in the systems
heretofore in force. AS usual sufrages
ordinances played the greater part.
The two plans receiving the greatest
consideration were those requiring that
the voter shall be able to read and
write 10 English and pay taxes on
$500 worth on property. Dee proposed
10 except from those conditions such
men as shall be examined by county
board of election commissioners, who
are to be appointed every four years,
and declared by the commissioners to
be fit persons to be intrusted with the
right to vote. Power il conferred by
this plan upon the Legislature to grant
the right TO vots on individuals by
name, after being satisfied OF their fiji
ness to exercise the right of suffrage.
The only persons one plain excerpts
from the provisions of the ordi-
nance are those who "shall have been
engaged in the active military or naval
service of the Confederate States OF
America or shall be lawful descendants
ola person who was engaged in such
service, and shall be alive at the time
of the adoption of this constitution"
Many doubt the constitutionality of
the two clauses above, as they create a
special class.
Among important ordinances intro.
duced were to make the terms of all
State and county officials four years; to
have biennial sessions of the Legisla-
ture; to impose three mill tax for
school purposes and allow each tax
payer to designate the school to which
bis tax should go; to disqualify all Ii
censed ministers of the gospel from
holding Office in the State; to fix the
salaries of members of the legislature at
50 day and cent mileage.
The school tax ordinance will have
the effect of causing each race to sup
port its own schools, and this will pro-
vide little schooling for negro children.
as the negroes pay only about one
tenth of the taxes, but the number of
their children of school age is at the
ratio of IL to s whites.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

A dispatch from Berlin says the Ger

all foreign socialists from the country.
The wages of $4,000 iron and steel
workers were advanced 2 per cent. by
an agreement in Pittsburg yesterday

Surgeons of the Post Graduate Hos
pital at New York have successfully
operated upon a broken neck, saving
the patients life without any resulting

charged and convicted few weeks ago
of criminally assaulting Miss Rose E.
johnson, patient to whom he had adj
ministered chloroform for an ailment,

Boyd Faulkner to fourteen years in the

Mr.. Croker in an interview in Lon
don yesterday discussed American poll
tics and presidential prospects, includ-
ing the third term question. MIR.
Croker will sail to- day from Southamp-
ton for New York. During the inter-
view he said: 81 understand that bus
mess looks bright across the wa
ter, which makes me think that Cleve-
land or any other democrat, but Cleve-
land in particular if he be nominated,
will be elected with a rush. Cleve-
lands outspoken attitude against the
silver men will do him good all over
the country. The great business in
terests of the United States can only
stand firm on a gold basis, and gold
must be an inviolate plank in the dem
cratic platform. In regard to the pref
udice that exists in very many peoples
minds as to third term that is very
tough corner indeed to turn. Grant
discovered that. But precedent can be
made, aud then, again, precedent can
DO broken and another precedent made.

Capital Punishment.

There has for years been persistent
effort put forth by certain class OF
people who claim to appear before the
public at large as humanitarlans. Is
pecially does the advocating of doing
away with capital punishment seem
a farce when such crimes as that COM
mitted last Saturday at Decatur, Ill. by
Charles Smith or as he is known in base
ball cirlles as "Pacer, presents itself.
He was married several years ago to
Miss Buchert, of that place, and by
that union little girl was born who
short time ago arrived at the age
of six years. His shiftleSS habits led
his wife to leave him, and she returned
to her fathers home.
Last Saturday he went to her fathers
home and desired to see the little girl.
When it was brought to him he pulled
a revolver and shot at his wife who, es
capped but her unfortunate sister,
seventeen years of age received bullet
in the head and fell dead. The little
child received his attention and was
shot, the ball, entering the brain. Mon
day the sufferings of the little girls
life was ended, by death.
1t is SAID that this brute was very
cool until he was taken to jail. But
mutterings of an indignant populace
began to be heard, he begged the sher-
if to protect his worthless carcass. And
yet it is fact that there are a great
many people that deem it a crime to
hang a fiend like this. We believe that
hanging is too good, and when such
events transpires it should cause those
who decry capital punishment to stop
and consider if hanging is a punishment
severe enough for such a crime.

Child Training.

1t is hardly probable that the best
way to bring up boy is by hopping
him up in hogshead and feeding
him through the bungle hole, but when
one encounters some of the kids in
Plymouth at times he almost feels that
the hOgshead method as "a desirable
one. 1t is true, even the civilized
people of this intelligent and Guilt
waited city are not SO far removed
from the abOrignes, that the utmost
refinement is instructive, and it is
hardly fair to condemn and find fault
with a child when it is evident his
parents are largely to blame for their
slacknesS In proper training. If old
people do not respect the rights of
society and the public it can hardly
be expected that children will. y
child is very apt to be but the expo
nent of home manners and training.

Memories of Childhood.

..How dear To nv heart


Are the scenes of my childhood.
find all echo in the heart of the average
business man as he trudges along the
pathway of life.
These thoughts were forcibly i'm
pressed upon our mind as We wended
our way homeward last evening. The
circumstance that caused these pleas
ant memories, was the appearance of
two young Americans, carrying jack
o'lantern, made out of pumpkin.
Who has not tasted the joys of using
his jack knife in connection with his
artistic taste after sneaking pumpkin
out of the cellar, and carefully closing
the wood shed door, reveled in the de-
lightful occupation OF making jack
o'lantern?
To us these thoughts encompass the
sweetest and some of the bitterest mo-
ments that we can recall of cur boy
hood days. When we saw that boy
carrying with care that pumpkin, we
thought of a red headed, freckled face
boy, who some thirtythree years ago,
spent a large portion of one day in per-
fecting such piece of work. We re-
member distinctly how we sneaked in
to our grandmother's pantry, and per
Joined tallow candle that had but
short time previous been taken from
the mold and hung up to dry. How
long that afternoon seemed to us. And
when the shades of evening gathered,
and the whip-poor-wil began its plain
tive song, how, with quickly beating
heart we sneaked down to the farm
gate that gave entrance to the barn
yard, and placed the efforts of our after
Moons work upon the gate post, and at
the same time imagining the terror that
would strike our dear old grandfather
when he returned from town that
night This was one of the happiest
moments.
Those happy thoughts are marred by
the recollection that forgetting the
jack o'lantern we WELT to bed, and was
rudely awakened from refreshing
slumber by an indignant grand parent,
who for over an hour sat i'll the wagon
and called for assistance, owing to the
horses not being acquainted with that
kind of lantern This was one of the
Interest moments.

the cold perspiration off his face.

"A blanket or two on the floor"

they surrender themselves and con-
fess?"
