PLANS OF ~PRoHlslTloNlsrs.

VIII They Gene into the Field with a
Straight Ticket 2-The Gospel Temperance
Unions Being Organized in this State.
Columbia Register.
Among the many political rumors
adoat Is n to the effect that the
Prohibitionists intend to run a straight
ticket in the next election. It Is a fact
that Gospel Temperance Unions are
being organized throughout the State
and 1t is said that the Union has 600
preachers at its back working up mem
bership and that as soon as q thorough
organization Is secured q convention
will be called, straight prohibition will
be declared for and a ticket put out.
The first of these unions was formed
in Columbia some months since and q
number OF others have been organized
since that time. In their addresses
the unions state that their object Is
not 80 much to oppose the ~dispensary
az to see that 1t Ia properly conducted
and at the same time they intend to
work to confine the sales OF liquor to
purposes "sacramental, scientific and
mechanical" A bill to that effect was
introduced in thelast Legislature and
although 1t received some support it
was overwhelmingly defeated.
it Is stated on what is' believed to be
good authority, that Prohibitionists
have come to the conclusion that there
IL little chance Of them getting what
they want under the dispensary law
and, therefore, they will make q fight
onSthelr own account. Should this
action be taken it will make the politi-
cal situation In this State more compli-
Gated than ever The believers in pro-
hibition constitute a large majority OF
the people in this State, but whether
any considerable number OF them can
be found who are willing to wipe out
the dispensary Is q question. From all
reports, however, they are organizing
throughout the State under the name
Of Gospel Temperance Unions and it
would not be surprising If the move
ment would form a considerable politi-
cal factor in future campaigns.

THE BIG INDIANA IS NOW in DOCK.

Despite repeated predictions OF

group Of officers stationed at the naval
post the great boat glided into the
dock at 1880 O'Clock on the morning of
the 9th of March, just after the tide
had begun 70 ebb. There was abun-
dance of water In the dock, the depth
measuring nearly 20 feet, while the
Indiana drew but "a feet.
Everything connected with the
docking worked beautifully and there
was not the slightest mishap. Chief
Naval Constructor j. L. Hanscom who

The Indiana has been OF Port Royal
since the 18th day OF March awaiting
an opportunity to be locked. Largo
crowds OF excursionists from South
Carolina and Georgia visited Port

1t was scheduled to come off, but we're
disappointed, the wind and tide not
being favorable, and the naval officers,
who were determined not to take the
slightest chance OF an accident, post

The navy department was sent q
brief message from Port Royal an
nouucing that the Indiana had passed
successfully into the new dry dock.
The news was gratifying, as the de-
partment was anxious TO have the
task over, though confident that Ii
would be accomplished satisfactorily.
All manner Of discouraging predic-
tions have been made about the Indiana
herself, but all OF them have come to
naught. The big vessel has been in q
hole q few hundred yards above the
dock, waiting for the moon to help the

be deep enough to take in the biggest

WILSON HOLDS HIS OWN.

Fire-Eatino BoutoIle sis Handled Success
fully by the Representative Of tho Fourth
District.
In the recent debate in Congress
upon the resolution to repeal the last
remaining restriction on those who
served in the Confederate army, Mr..
Boutelle, of Maine, alone opposed the
proposition. In his remarks he stated
that Union soldiers were Disseminated
against In South Carolina in the mat
ter of taxation, which brought into
toe skirmish Hon. Stanyarne Wilson.
Here is what the News and Courier's
special correspondent says of the way
Mr.. Wilson acquitted himself:
AT that j%uncture Representative
Stanyarne Wilson, of South Carolina,
who was a member of the constitu-
tional convention, interrupted the
'hre-eating' Bontelle to say that the
people of the South believed the war
tie be over, and he did not care to fight
that bloody war owe again with the
gentleman from Maine. He explained
that the people of South Carolina felt
that they had q right to pension the
men who fought for that State during
the war, and 1t also had a right to
exempt the same class of men from the
payment of a poll tax. In doing so
they were simply providing for their
own people. and at the same time they
were contributing without q murmur
to the general pension fund for the ex-
Union soldiers.
"Mr. Wilson astonished his as
sociates in the House by his magnif-
cent voice, his GOODNESS in dealing with
the o~verheated Boutelle, and he was
proceeding to render the latter, more
ridiculous in the estimation OF those
present when Boutelle resorted to the
getting the short end of a discussion
by declining to yield to the young
South Carolinian further. Mr.. Wilson
won the admiration of the House, and
also aroused the sympathy and sup
port of Gen. Grosvenor, Of Ohio, who
is the Mckinley champion in the
House.
"Gen. GrOsvenor Is usually at the
head of the partisan band of Republic
cans in the House when there Is an
opportunity to fight the wal over
again behind the walls Of the capitol,)
but to-day ne assumed the role of q
patriot, and his speech will 90 down
as one OF the best efforts of his Con-
gressional life."
The Charlotte Observers special
says: "In his colloquy with Boutelle
to-day 9 the South Carolina CON
stitutional provision referring to ex.
~Confederates and taxation, Stanyarne
Wilson acquitted himself well. Bou-
telle was obliged, in order to save
himself, to shut the young South
Carolinian out Of the debate. Wilson
has the finest voice for debate OF anv
man who has spoken in this Congress-"

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
A Meeting to Get 10 Exhibits to be Held in
SparanburG.

A Meeting to Get Uo Exhibits to be Held in
Sparanbura.
The following letter which has been
sent out to different newspapers and
prominent business men shows what is
contemplated being done in reference
to the Southern States Exposition
Dear Sir: A convention composed
Of delegates from the Southern States
and cities was held in Chicago in
February to consider tho aivisability
of holding an exposition of Southern
resources and products in that city
this year, and to devise ways and
Q for covering the cost OF such an
exposition. The convention resolved
without . dissenting voice that the
exposition should be held. The city
of Chicago pledged itself to undertake
the whole expense of organizing and
maintaining the exposition.
The several Southern States under
took, on their part, to provide the
exhibits, and pay the expense Of col
Letting, arranging and organizing
their exhibits.
When the delegates from South
Carolina met in Chicago, it was deem
ed advisable that II the Legislature
failed to make al appropriation to
place before the world the products
and OF our various cotton
and other industries at the exposition
in Chicago, a trial should be made to
raise the necessary funds from other
sources. The Legislature, you are
aware, did nothing for the end in Wow.
and 1t now becomes my duty, by the
authority Of the Governor of the State.
to invite you to attend a convention to
be held at ~Spartanburg, on Wednes-
6au ayaninn Anil IEth 1909 TO-. A..
purpose OF providing a plan by which
an exhibit OF the industries of the State
shall be made at Chicago. 1t Is hardly
necessary for me to place before you
the imperative reasons why we of this
State should make the best exhibit,
The great development OF our cotton
factories, the natural advantages We
nave of climate, water power, and
cotton raised around the mills must
invite the attention Of capital, thereby
making our State not only foremost
in agriculture, but also in cotton fabric
industries.
In no other way can our farmers be
more judiciously helped than by CIV
ing them a market, we might say, near
to each and every farm, thereby link
ing together agriculture, manufactures
and commerce.
Stooo VhSt otoiOj Vhdu Gu0 hdyOTb
and intendsnto OF the cities and towns
In the State attend the convention at
Spartanburg, and appoint three dele
gates from each of tho cities and towns
to represent their several municipali-
ties In this convention, for the pur-
pose of insuring an exhibit by South
Carolina at Chicago.
l request that each of the cotton
manufacturing enterprises in the State
appoint representatives to attend the
convention in S~partanburg.
l also request that each Of the rail-
road companies doing business in the
State will appoint a representative to
attend the convention.
L shall be obliged If you will inform
me at your earliest convenience the
names OF the delegates you have APP
pointed in response to this address.
Very respectfully yours,

Loao Rates for the Confederate Yet
er0ns to Richmond. Ia.

The Southern Railway has already ar
ranged its rates to Richmond tor the annual
reunion of the United Confederate Vet
Grams to be held in the beautiful capital of
Ind. The rate is very satisfactory, being
| cent per mile travei ed, which would make
the round trip fare from Atlanta to Rich
mond $11, and from other points the rate
will be correspondingly low. This very
low rate should induce n big crowd to go
from all over the South, and the Southern
Railway will undoubtedly handle q large
share of these travellers, being the direct
route from the South to Richmond. The
Southern Railway will run Confederate
Veteran special decorated trains and make
the occasion a great success as far as it is
possible.
