ator Tillman's committee:
"Strike out subdivisions &c" and
I'd" and insert the following:
1.-The person applying for registra-
ton must be able to understand any
section of this Constitution when
read to him, and give reasonable
Interpretation thereof, must sustain a
good moral character, and must have
paid all taxes due by him up to time
of his application for registration.
Senator 1rby spoke at length, at.
tacking the subdivisions he proposed
to strike out and contrasting their ef-
feet with the effect of the substitutes
provisions He thought that his
scheme would give a white majority
greater than the other by 40, 900 votes.
Senator Tillman replied to him, de-
failing at great length the meaning,
scope and effect OF the plan proposed
by the committee He went into the
matter with the greatest pains and
made full explanation of the plan.
Senator Irby stated that his plan
would not permit of any discrimina-
ton between any class of men. Sen
ator Tillman handled the proposed
amendment very completely and there
were several interesting passages be-
tween himself and Senator Irby.
Mr.. Farrow followed in an elabo-
rate speech on the subject of suffrage,
pointing out many pitfalls that had to
be guarded against.
Then came Mr.. J.. P. Kennedy Bry-
an, who, it is said, made one Of the
finest arguments, viewing the matter
in its relation to the United States
Constitution, ever heard in the State.
Mr.. Parrot made the final speech Of
the evening.
No votes were taken at all on any
matter
Senator Irby finally withdrew his
amendment to perfect it and present it
to to the convention at the proper
time in the proper shape.
The conference thereupon adjourn
ed sine die.

Good Advice.

The Newberry Voice of the People
advises the farmer not to let the little
rise in the price of cotton deceive
them into planning to cultivate moth
ing but cotton next year. Our cotem-
porary very truly says no doubt the
live at home policy pursued by the
farmers this year has had not a little
to do with making an improvement in
the cotton market, and it should be
followed more faithfully in the future
than it ever was in the past. If the
cotton growers will live at home and
make cotton surplus crop, they will
very likely get better price for their
cotton next year than they have this
there should be concert of action:
Buff selfish, greedy desire is allowed
to take hold of them, and each man
plants all of his lands in cotton under
the silly impression that everybody
else will cut down their acreage and
he will make a good thing of it, three
or four cents cotton and increased IN
debtedness will be the reward. The
cotton crop is short, and it is within
the power of the farmers to keep 1t
short. By keeping it short prices will
be kent up.

The substitute offered by Mr.. Buist
was also killed.
The substitute offered by Mr.. Barton
was then adopted as follows:
Section II. Each of the several
townships of this State, with names
and boundaries as now established by
law, shall constitute a body polite and
corporate, but this shall not prevent
the general assembly from organizing
other townships or changing the boun-
daries of those already established, and
the general assembly may provide
such system of township government
as they shall think proper.
Sectiou2 was then taken up and
passed thus:
Section 2. If two-thirds of the quail
fed electors voting at such election
shall vote ''yes" upon such question,
then the general assembly at the next
session shall establish such new coun,
ty: Provided: No section of a county
proposed to be dismembered shall be
thus cut of without consent by a two.
thirds vote of those voters in such sec,
ton, and no county shall be formed
without complying with all the condi-
tons imposed in this article. An elec.
ton upon the question of forming the
same proposed new county shall not
be held oftener than once in four
years.
SECTION TWELVE
was added as follows:
Until changed by the general assem-.
bly,. as allowed by this Constitution,
the boundaries of the several counties
shall remain as now established, ex'
cept that the boundaries of the county
of Edgefeld shall undergo such
changes as are made necessary by the
formation of new county from q
portion of Edge6eld, to be known as
Saluda. the boundaries of which are
set forth in a Constitutional ordinance.
Mr.. G.. D. Tillman then offered, as
section 13, provision for separate
township organization, with regular
set of officers, etc.
The amendment was tabled.
Mr.. Barton's amendment was then
amended by adding thereto the words,
''and may make special provision fo1

Ex-MAYoR Hugh Grant of New
York takes exception to the newspa-
per reports that couple his name with
those of different ladies in matrlmo-
nial alliance. He says that it is not
legitimate newspaper enterprise, and
he is right. The newspapers have no
right to couple the name OF any young
lady with that of Mr.. Grant or any
other man as engaged to be married
without the permission of both the
people most concerned. 1t is not
news but idle and perhaps malicious
gossip.

hereafter established by the general
assembly, shall be a body polite and
corporate, and the general assembly
shall provide a uniform system OF local
government for the same, and require
each township to contribute its proper
