ers and all concerned. State Superintend-
ent OF Education Glenn delivered the
closing address, which wss highly enjoyed
BY all. We think be struck the Key note
in nan points of his instructive address.
The only thing We witnessed during the
day that in any way tended to maj the
pleasure OF the occasion was the pehaVlor
Of a crowd of boys and young men on the
base ball ground In the afternoon. The
Anderson base ball team had been invited
to Hartwell to play a match game with
the Hartwell boys, which they accepted,
and instead OF being treated like all gentle.
men treat invited guests, they were Jeered
and sneorod at, called all sorts of names,
and in every way conceivable trying to in.
suit them. The Anderson boys acted the
part of gentlemen throughout and showed
their breeding by treating them with Silent
contempt, We feel sorry for the parents
of those boys. They certainly have q re-
sponsibiIity upon their shoulders.
Our o pa are doing we'll. We have had
good rains. Cotton IL suffering somewhat
with lice; however we DON'T think 1t will
result seriously. The curn crop is fine
and in good condition. Early corn Is ba.
ing laid by.
The watermelon crop is promising.
Beans, potatoes. cucumbers, heels and
black berries are plentiful. No trouble TO
get up q good meal. We also have plenty
Of chickens.
One OF Mr.. Cooley's convicts escaped

The Republican National Convention
has adjourned It's work after nominating
William Mckinley for President and de-
ciaring almost unanimously for gold.
Garrett a. Hobart, Of New Jersey. was
given second place. The silver contin-
gent, headed by Senator Teller, OF Colo
RADIO, bolted the Convention on account
OF the gold plank in the platform. The
South Carolina delegation voted solidly
for the gold standard. The proceedings
were carried on in very orderly
ner. There was q vast deal of wire pull
lug, but the man from Ohio seemed to
control thezeinsand was elected with a
whoop. McKinley's nomination was
-aorceded on al sides, though on several
occasions 1t looked as If his chances were
aim. The administration Of Harrison
Yves warmly endorsed in the platform.
The Convention denounced the present
Democratic tariff and emphasized its al
legisnce 20 the policy of protection as the
bnlwark of American industrial inde-
pendence and the foundation of Ameri-
can development and prosperity. The
money plank was unreservedly for
so1nd money, and the party declares it
selfunslterably opposed o eyery measure
calculated to debase the Currency or i'm
pair the credit Of the country. They are
opposed to the free coinage Of silver, ex-
cspt by international agreement with the
leading commercial nations Of the world.
The platform reassnrts the Monroe doc
trins IN its full extent. a part Of the
Cuban plank reads: 1--WE believe that the
government Of the United States should
actively use is influence and good off,
ces>t to restore peace and give %iudepeu-
dencs to the island Of Cuba" Free bal
lots are demanded, and lynchiDgs de-
nounced. The vote for the presidential
nominees resulted as follows: Mckinley.
6619 Morton, SO; Quay, Gil ; Reed, S44;
Allison. S53. The vote for Vice-Presi-
dent gave Hobart 533i. and H. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, 2s04. A new ma
fionsi Republican Committee was ap
pointed. E. A. Webster was elected q
member from South Carolina. At the
request OF Mckinley, Mark Hanna was
made National Chairman.
