NO RELIGIOUS TEST.

Mr.. McMahan wanted to strike
out the provision in the same sec
tion that the Governor shall be.
lleve in a Supreme Being, but the
convention refused to listen to it
Mr.. McMahan wanted to present
his views to the convention and
Mr.. Talbert moved that Mr.. Nc
Mahan be "allowed to say few
words before he said anytI ing,'
which amid laughter was agreed
to. He said that such a provision
was but the opening wedge to fl
nally making some religions quail
fcations in the convention. He
characterized it as Trojan horse
that might in the end destroy re-
ligious liberty. He made quite a
lengthy speech in which he said
that he would move to amend
wherever such a sentence occurred
by adding "and who takes his
name in vain"

The Bessonette method of COM
pressing cotton was invented by a
Texas man. AS the cotton is gin
ned it is rolled out in bats and
wound around steel cylinders with
heavy pressure so that the bale
when complete is as hard as wood
1t needs no hoops or baggjng to
hold it. 1t is covered with heavy
duck to keep it clean. 1t Is fire
proof.

The rise in cotton this week il
attributed to a circular issued by
Mr.. O'neill. of New Orleans, who
estimates the crop now at 100000
bales when some time ago he was
contending for higher figures. His
estimates have a strong influence
upon the market in Liverpool.

STRENGTHENING A SECTION

Mr.. Gage offered an amendment
to section 9 that in case of the re-
moval of the Governor by resigna-
ton, death or disability, the Lieu
tenant Governor shall be Cover
nor. In case the Lieutenant Gov
ernor is removed by resignation,
etc., the President of the Senate
shall act as Governor and shall
Immediately call the Senate to-
gether to elect another President
pro tenn. In case of impeachment
of the Governor the Lieutenant
Governor shall act as Governor
until judgment shall be rendered
Mr.. Gage said he offered the
amendment because the section as
it stood was not clear as 10 the
succession to the Office of Cover
nor in case of the contingencies
enume 'ated.
M. Efsd said he saw the diff
culties mentioned by Mr.. Gage,
and he thought the amendment
should be adopted and sent to the
committee op revision.
Mr.. Johnstone said that Mr..
Cages amendment was proper as
it made the phraseology certain.
The amendment was adopted.
McMAHAN's "cuss1Ne" AMENDMENT.
Mr.. McMahan then introduced
his amendment in reference to the
taking of the name of the Supreme
Being in vain byany one who may
be Governor and demanded tie
ayes and nays. i.
Mr., Sheppard said that Mr.. Nc
Mahan ought to see by this time
that the convention was against
him and he ought not to consume
the valuable time of the ,conven-
tion. The convention refused to
call for the ayes and nays or to re
ceiye the amendment. The arti-

DIspENsARY QUESTION.
The next matter before the con-
vention was as to whether the Dis
pensary law should be incorpora-
ted into the Dispensary in accord
ance with Mr.. Clayton's substi-
tute. The substitute was again
read.
Senator Tillman intended to in
trodlce substitute but withdrew
it temporarily owing to the alb
sencs of Mr.. Clayton. The aubsti-
tute provided that no license shall
ever be granted for the sale of Ii
quor in less quantity than half a
piut, not be drunk on the prem
ises Or sold after six o'clock in the
afternoon.
M. McCown asked that the en-
tire matter be postponed until
Monday, owing to the absence of
Mr.. Clayton, the author of the sub
stitute, who had been called away
by the death of his mother. This
was agreed to.
NJ. Henderson moved that the

ported by the committee on in

was agreed to.

THE CONVENTION.

The Constitutional Convention
adopted one important alteration in
our law yesterday by changing the
time Of the meeting of the Legisla-
ture from November to January
The idea was first suggested by MI
Floyd of Kershaw, who introduced
the measure, >though Gen. Gray
brought up one amendment of a
similar nature. The first Legisla-
ture to meet under the new order
will assemble on the second Tues
day of January, 1897. A prov
sion was made that the session
may continue forty days, but that
will not apply to the four sessions
succeeding the adoption of the
Constitution, because as the or
ganic law will be completely
changed almost, it was thought
best not to hurry the Legislature
but to give them all the time nec-
essary to conform their enact
ments to the changed conditions.
The matter Of salary for mem
bers was discussed but was cut
short by adjournment, but a test
vote showed that the Convention
was favorable to 81 per diem sal
ary instead of So as recommended
by the committee.
There was no night session as
members felt tired and a great
many of them wanted to go
home.
