The contest, while IL lasted, be
tween the gold and the silver forces,
was a battle royal The cause of the
silverites was championed by ex-
Senator Patrick, of New Philadel-
phia, a white haired old lawyer, who
made a number of telling hits The
goldites were represented only by
Hon Frank Hurd, Of Toledo, whose
sledge hammer ticks of oratoly, rap
idly delivered, made a marked i'm.
preston. Patrick's talk was all in
vain. Allen w. Thurman, of Colum-
bus, the giant in the cause of free
silver, managed to get into the hall,
but stood up all the time on the very
front of the stage, deeply interest
ed spectator. To night Thurman,
who had been boldly claiming his
side would win, giving figures, is as
mum as an oyster Some of the Brice
followers had threatened to keep
Thurman out of the convention,
The convention made all its nomi
nations without opposition. The
convention was in session from 1920
till 2:40, and the nominations were
completed in a half hour, after ex
Governor Campbell had been drafted
for the standard bearer.
DETERMINED TO HAVE CAMPBELL.
Governor Campbell said he had
run for congress three times in Re
publican district and twice for gov
ernor in a Republican state, till he
was depleted financially and other
wise unable to make the sacrifice for
the race He insisted on the nomi-
nation of Judge Peck or some other
good Democrat who could make a
good race and afford to make it,
Seconds of the nomination of
Campbell rolled in. Chairman Brice
insisted that the motion of DR.. Nor
ton to suspend the rules and pro
coed to the nomination of Mr.. Camp
bell was in order. Mr.. Ingalls,, who
previously opposed Campbell, made
a strong plea for him as the winner.
The motion of Dr. Norton was put
and carried in a great whirl ofenthu-
siasm, and the chair declared Mr..
Campbell the nominee for governor.
President Ingalls, and DR.. Norton
escorted ex Governor Campbell to
the platform, when he was received
with a grand ovation, and said;

Farmers and Farming in the South.


4 writer in the February number OF
Lippincott, Northern man we sup:
pose, undertakes to show that the far
mers of our country are sinking
gradually into ignorance and litter
acy. He thinks that the downward
grade is manifest that they will finally
be estimated in the United States as
the peasantry of Europe who farm IS
mere tenants. That the farmers as a
class may not be SO highly educated
and cultivated as they should be is
true, but the Northern writer takes a
very limited, one-sided view of
of the situation. The West is bad OFT
and the farmers out there may be so
handicapped with debts, mortgages
and interest as to be practically wage
earners only for the large land owners.
But this is not the case in The South tc
the same extent, and by very great
deal. While it is true that the prices
of farm products have been steadily
declining for years under bad Republi-
can Legislation that has been absolute
ly hostile to the great farming class.
it is also true that the farmers in the
South are still Independent taken as a
body. and are in no danger of becom-
ing tenants or of degenerating IN the
condition of European peasantry.
Farming has had much to depress il
in the South, but it has yet been able
to make some progress and now that
farmers are returning to good old way
OF raising what they consume-bread
and meat-hog and hominy and the
other good, toothsome things, they are
better off than Northern pessimistsmay
think.

Steamer Burned.

WASHINGTON, March S.-A special
from New Orleans says: Downcom-
ing steamers bring news of the de-
struction of the mail steamer, Laura
Banks, on the Tenas river with the
loss of several lives. including the son
of Captain Knight. the others being

fast on reef and as L high wind was
blowing. the vessel was totally de
stroyed in few minutes. The cap,
tain family, several roustabouts and
some negro passengers were all the
human beings board. Capt Knight 5
son. y years old, was in the boiler
room, where the fire originated. He
could not escape and perished there.
\ couple of roustabouts were seen to
sink in the river when trying to SWIM

Like an Earthquake.

ANDERSON, Ind, March S.-Ihe
most destructive natural gas explosion
in the history of the Indiana gas belt
occurred here at 4 o'clock Tuesday
morning. A SIS, 900 business block on
the Court House Square was blown all
over the central part of the city. In
the building We're the When clothing
stores, Prather's shoe store, Hadley $
drug store and a large number of halls
and business offices on the upper floor.
Fire followed the explosion, which
was like an earthquake, and the re-
mains of the debris began burning
fercely. The entire fire department
was called out and prevented the fire
from reaching the new court house.
Attorney Ballard and County Com
missioner Metcalf lived in rooms above
the When store, and it is feared they
have perished. The loss on the build
ing and contents is totaland viii reach
100000 The fronts of all business
houses in the neighborhood Of the eN-
plosion were demolished, paved streets
ripped open and telephone cables mort
down.

CHARLESTON. S. c., March 6.-One
day in February last. Ignatius Hanck-
owi.z entered a store on King street
where his brother, John Hanckowltz
was working and shot him, firing three
bullets into him. He then gave him
self up and refused to make any state
ment in palliation or justification OF
his horrible deed Yesterday Hanck-
owitz was tried for murder. and tor
the first time the story Of the motive
that led to the killing was developed.
Mrs. Ignatius Hanckowitz: wife of the
accused. testified that the deceased had
outraged her and had committed an
assault on her little six or seven year
old daughter. and also on his own Sis
ter. Tie crimes. she said, were COM
mitted at different times, and their re-
lations developeda degree of domestic
unclcanliness that is unit for publca-
ton. The little girl was also placed
upon the stand and corroborated her
mother so far as the statement con-
cerned herself. The accused was
promptly acquitted.

During the Fifty third Congress the
Senate Committee on Agriculture and
Fo,estry was authorized by the Senate
to make an inquiry upon the existing
depression in farm products. and Sena-
tors George, Bate and Proctor We're
selected as a subcommittee to take In
hand the portion OF the inquiry con-
cerning the depressed price Of cotton
Tie subcommittee ascertained that
with the prices prevailing in the years
1891. 1892 and 1898 in nearly every
part the cOtton-producing religion the
cost Of production equalled if it did
not exceed. the value of the cotton
raised There IS Il general concensus
OF opinion that cotton. cannot, eXcep:
under most favorable circumstances,
be raised proftably al less than eight
cents per pound. nor without lost un-
der seven cents. The committee
thinks that there are two couses for the
low price OF cotton now prevailing
the dealing in futures and the demonc-
tization OF silver. The committee IN
arguing the right OF the Federal Gov
ermment to legisl;.te on the subject, de-
clarcs that the Business of dealing IN
futures and cotton can be transacted
only IL the two exchanges of New
York and New Orleans. and that the
latter IS EIerel Y an annex 10 the for
mer. The COMMITTEES concludes that
the dealings OF these exchanges inter-
fere with the inter STATE commerce,
and the power Of Congress should be
exercised 70 abolish them. The de-
monetization Of fsilver is regarded as the
most potent cause Of the low price OF
cotton, bat the committee comedies
that there is no immediate prospect of
removing this cause Therefore they
recommend cotton rstisers to keep their
money at home by raising their own
supplies and Givcrsitying their crops,
and invest the money ROW spent for
these IL erecting cotton and other fac
tories.

THE FARMING SITUATION.
The General Condition. cc ..3.,ir. and &.,oi:
OutioIk.

CoLUMBlA, March G-Here it IS al
most the second week in March, ana
not turrow, scarcely. has been turn
ed in the farming fields of this State
By the farmers, SO men who travel tie
entire State say. And again, scarc9,E
a ton Of fertilizers has been moved.
About the only localities III the State
where any activity among the farm
classes is visible are those around Tren-
ton, OH the c., C. & A., and Newberry.
There has been no time, perhaps, in
the last quarter of century when
farm operations were 50 far behind as
now. and the farm class have never
had to face such conditions as no."
confront them.
The farmers have undoubtedly been
delaying to see what would come of
the demands they recently made OF
the fertilizer manufacturers for cotton
option trades. And the general public
has been waiting with great interest
also to know what would come of this.
Yesterday one of the conventions
committeeman, whois in a position to
know, was asked about the matter.
He said it was practically settled now
that the fertilizer manufacturers would
decline to accede to the demands for a
cotton option and would conS5nt to no
other arrangement than that which
they have offered through the State
Alliance Exchange, the terms of
which have been published. In that
arrangement the manufacturers want
more cotton payable October Is than
the farmers, in their resolutions, Of
fered to give. and they will not allow
any option. There can now be no
further question as to what the man
ufacturers are going to do, and 1t re-
mains only to be seen whether the far
mers will stick to use no fertilizers in
case their demands were not granted.
The result will doubtless be that, while
some farmers here and there will use
the guano, others will not.
The committeeman stated further
that the companies had done one
thing which the farmers considered
unfair. Heretofore it has been the
custom of the companies, if one want
ed carload Of mixed fertilizers-so
much acid, so much kainit, etc.-to
put these in at the carload prices al
lowed for each. Now they have de-
cided and announced that they will
not sell in less than carload lots except
at an advance of 81 per ton on each.
The committeeman who has been alb
out the Statea good deal, says that
the farm class has done very little tc-
ward preparing for this years crop SO
far. He says you only have to men
ton cotton to the farmer to see him
turn pale. They are badly dissatisfied
at the action of the fertilizer companies
and consequently are still waiting.
He says that it will now be impossible
for the farmers of the South Atlantic
States, particularly this one, to make
full crop of anything. They Will
only buy fertilizers to very limited
extent. They have used them for so
many years continuously, he says:
that the land can produce pretty well
for one year without them. Again,
the farmers are making more home
| manure to be utilized. He thinks that
| only about one-ffth of last season 5
cotton crop will be produced this year.
