Railroad Dividends Will Have
to Be Further Reduced.
Gossip on London Sugar Stock Sale.
General Notes.
Special 10 The News.

NEW YORK, March The president
of one of the largest Granger roads says
that the market is perfectly natural one
respecting acutal conditions, the neces-
stiles of railroads and the knowledge that
numerous dividends will have to be fur
ther reduced before there is permanent
improvement. This cannot come until
well in the summer. but it can be dis
counted in May and June, when very
definite conclusions in regard to spring
and winter wheat crops are possible. He
was inclined to look for a continuation of
the sagging market until the last of April,
when discounting OF better railroad tom
mage and earnings would prevail, proba-
bly,.
A foreign house says: "Our correspond
ents advise us that there are signs OF
liquidation In London by tired bulls,
chiefly in Louis Vile Nashville. Our opin-
ion is that this cannot be very serious in
extent, as London has done little in
American stocks for a very long time
past. 1t is a fact, however, that we
have had selling orders in railroad
bonds these last few weeks, chiefly cur
rency bonds, and have sold quite little
of both stocks and bonds here for London
account"
New York Central people aver that the
reports OF new issue OF securities
have no foundation in fact and as
the stock in the treasury can only
be sold at par, the decline in the stock
could not be traced 10 sales of this treas
ury stock, as some alleged. The last divi-
dend was paid January 10 and the next is
payable April 10 and will be declared this
month. Persons familiar with the Wander.
bilt policy say that they are satisfied that
long stock has come out on awell-founded
belief that the next dividend will be less
than / 4 per cent.
Although it is conceded that nothing
will be done by the Senate on the question
OF abolishing the onc-tenth difierential
on sugar, the feeling upon Harry o.
Hevemeyer's particular speciality, from a
market point OF view, Is not particularly
bullsh. 1t is significant fact that Sugar
was offered last night at 91A and 1890
shares actually sold at that figure.
Members of the bond syndicate an
nounce that there Is no fear that gold will
go TO Europe. 1t is known that those
who successfully negotiated the Govern
ment bond sales are giving no attention
for the time being 10 the market.

that the company would not be able to

rowing. Vice President King, however,
says hat the interest will be paid and the
company is not borrowing for that or
any other purpose.

THE GOVERNORS MANIFESTO.

On the first page of this issue, will
be found a manifesto from Governor
Evans, calling upon the people of the
State to rally against the Negro. This
manifesto is very violent in its terms,
and no doubt calculated to again arouse
to a white heat, racial feelings that
have long been dormant; and under
the circumstances we can only suggest
that the best thing for our people to do
is to keep cool at least for the present.
The white man in this State who is
willing for a restoration of Negro dom
ination is, it is true, only renegade,
and deserving at least of the ostracism
of his fellows; but just now there is q
great deal else involved besides Negro
domination. The real crisis by which
we are confronted, is the revision of
the fundamental law of the land. The
great task that devolves upon our peo-
pie is to make constitution under
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-05-17

which we and our children are to live
for a generation. The fear of Negro
domination to which the governor calls
such violent attention, is merely all in
cident. The danger in this direction
is no greater than it has been for years,
and to have the attention of the people
diverted from the real question to it
just at this critical juncture, is likely
to give rise to evils that may cause
US to drift upon the breakers from
which we would escape.
The only human power that can con-
troll the destinies of this State for good
just now is a united white people, and
the one thing above all others that the
united white people are interested in,
is the framing of just constitution.
1t seems to us Just now that the best
thing that Governor Evans and others
can do is to devote themselves to bring
ing the people together on some basis
of agreement as to the provisions of
the proposed new constitution, and
then, after that, the important ques-
tion of white supremacy will be an
easy problem &.
Sound advice to all the people at
this writing is: Keep cool don't lose
sight of the issue don't shy so sudden
ly at the shadow of Negro domination
on the one side, as to jump into
the adoption of an ill-considered con-
stitution ON the other. Wait for dis
cussion. Hear both sides of the ques-
ton, throw aside passion and preju-
dice, and then try to do what may
seem to be best in the light of the full
est information.

chief-issue in the constitutional con-
veution election. AS illustrating the
gross misrepresentation Of the mani
festo, The State answers the declara-
tion that the Tillman-Evans movement
had nothing to do with the election or
registration laws, by recalling the fact
that the latest DISTINGUISHING registra-
ton law was passed last December by
the influence of these men against the
protest of the Conservatives, who made
vain efforts TO have it amended into
fairness. There is no race issue in
South Carolina, the Negroes offering to
concede a white majority in the con-
vention, and to vote for Democrats;
but the Tillmanite administration
wishes to force one in order that it may
practice frauds in the name of white
supremacy, and thus continue itself
in power"

1T is 4 GOOD START.

On the face of the reports-and be-
hind them we have no information
the action of the State Democratic
executive committee in Columbia last
Wednesday night, seems to be just
and wise, and exactly what is demand
ed by the exigencies of the present
situation.
Now that fair and square primary
has been agreed upon, the next thing
is to drop all partisanship and enter
into a calm cool, discussion of the is
sues that may be presented in the ap-
preaching campaign. If partisanship
is dispensed with for the present, at
least. the various issues that may be
presented can be discussed purely on
their merits, and the white people of
the State may easily prepare them
selves to go into the general election
of delegates with a full understanding
of what they expect to incorporate in
the proposed new constitution.
Let US remember that the question
of fairness to the Negro has practically
been settled by the courts. The other
issues may now be the more easily
settled by the people, and if selfish
ness, the hope of personal aggrandise-
ment, and the desire to boss things
can be temporarily dispensed with, an
equitable solution of the difficulties
with which the State is threatened is
an easy matter.
In our opinion, the action of the
State Democratic executive committee
clears up the situation wonderfully
but we are not altogether safe yet.
The powder magazine is still exposed
to frebrands of incendiary politicians
of both sides, and must necessarily re-
main so until the close of the campaign.

DAMAGING FROST.

There was quite heavy frost
throughout the county last Wednes-
day morning; probably the heaviest
that has visited this section in May
since 1873, and there has been great
deal of damage; but as to just how
much, there is a considerable differ
ence of opinion.
Where cotton has been freshly har-
rowed, it was killed down to the
ground; but where the ground had
not been recently stirred, there is
thought to have been but little dam
age. Potato slips on low lands and
those freshly set out on uplands, were
either killed or badly damaged, and
peaches were thinned out to greater
or less degree according to locality.
The exact extent ofthe damage to vege-
tation generally, however, would be
rather difficult to estimate.

OPINION OF THE STATE.-The ad-
dress of Governor Evans, published on
the first page of this issue, has been
sent to all the big newspapers through
out the country, and with it the fol-
lowing from the Columbia State:
"The manifesto of Governor Evans
bears intrinsic evidence of the work
manship Of Senator Tillman, the gov
ernor's patron and prompter, and al
though intended to serve unworthy
purposes, it will prove of value in
revealing to the people of the country
the true character of the men against
whom the advocates of honest elections
are contending. Judge Gotf's decis-
ion, according to the information re-
ceived by The State, has been thank
fully received by the large and increas-
ing number of South Carolinians, who
have set their faces against fraud and
propose to make an honest ballot the

- General Wade Hampton was in
Charleston last Tuesday on an invi-

federacy and the Camp N1oultrie Sons
of Confederate veterans. He was
received upon his arrival by all the
military companies of the city, and by
thousands of enthusiastic citizens who
closed their places of business to do
him honor. At night he delivered an
address in the Academy of Music which
was crowded to its fullest capacity, and
almost every sentence was cheered to
the echo. Throughout the whole oc-
casion the old hero received an ovation
the like of which has not been wit
messed in this State since 1876.

FODDER, May 15.-Heavy rains fell
here on Saturday evening and night.
1t cleared off cold, and we are now
having some cool weather for the time
of year. I notice that farm-work is
in various stages of progress. Some
are not through planting. Others have
their corn worked over-plowed, hoed,
and thinned out to a stand-also their
cotton worked over and partly chopped.
AS q result of abundant rains, every
body reports excellent stands of both
cotton and corn. Wheat, especially
where it was we'll manured and prop
erly sown, is exceptionally fine. Fruit
trees are literally laden with fruit.
Considering the late spring, gardens
are looking well. Several parties re-
port having transplanted lot of potato
slips.
Some very fine patches of clover can
be seen in this section. 1t is from 20
to "a inches in height, and is now
ready for cutting. Why don't every
body raise clover? Strawberries are
ripe and we are feasting on delicious
pies.

A WHITE MANS PRIMARY.
Fair and Sensible Action of the Democratic
Executive Committee.

-
Executive Committee.
The State Democratic executive
committee met in the Office of the
secretary of state, in Columbia, last
Wednesday night, and continued in
session until 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. All the counties were represent
ed except Beaufort, Berkeley, Chester
field, Georgetown and York.
A delegation of Woman Suffragists,
headed by Mrs. Viola A. Neblett, as
spokesman, was listened to respect
fully, and the committee then decided
to hold its deliberations in secret ses-
sion.
The question of asking the governor
to call an extra session of the Legislature
was discussed but as it did not appear
what was to be gained by such an &C.
ton, nothing definite was determined
upon.
An effort to prevent Democratic
Negroes from voting failed to carry,
and the following provisions for gen.
eral primary were agreed upon:
A primary of the Democracy is Or
dered in this State .on the 30th day Of
July next, at which every white voter
in this State shall be entitled to vote,
who shall make pledge to the managers
conducting the election, that he will
support the nominees of such election
on the day of the election, to be held
on the third Tuesday in August for
delegates to the State constitutional
convention.
Each county executive committee
shall appoint three managers. and one
clerk, to hold such election. Two of
the managers shall be Reformers and
one manager and the clerk shall be
Conservatives, or vice versa. The polls
shall be opened from o'clock a. m, to
4 o'clock p. m.
Each candidate for the constitutional
convention shall, at least 10 days be-
fore the said primary election, file his
pledge with the chairman or secretary
of the county Democratic executive
committee, that he will abide the re-
suit of the election and support the
nominee of the party, and no vote for
any candidate who has failed to sign
such pledge, shall be counted.
TO prevent the single popping of
candidates no vote for candidates shall
be counted which does not contain the
names of delegates who have signed
the pledge of the same number as the
number of delegates to which said
county is entitled, under the act call
ing the convention.
The second primary shall be held on
August 18th, if necessary, according to
the rules of the party, and the same
managers shall serve.
All existing rules of this committee,
heretofore adopted are hereby reatfirm-
ed, when not inconsistent with the
foregoing.
The counties of Horny and LeXing-
ton having already acted under the
previous resolutions of this committee
are exempted from the operation of
these resolutions unless they shall
hereafter determine to act in accord
ance Herewith.
On motion of Mr.. Jordan, of Aiken,
the following was adopted:
The State Democratic executive
committee recognizing the fact that
there are factional differences existing
in the Democratic party, earnestly
suggests to the Democrats Of the State
to ignore such factional differences in
the election Of delegates to the consti-
tutional convention, and let each dele
gate stand on his merit.
