Now for the Chicago Convention
of Delegates From the South
ern States.
CHARLESTON, S. c.,
March Doth. 1896.

LEAN DIR: a convention COM
posed OF delegates from the South
ern States AID cities was held in
Chicago in February to consider
the advisability of holding ali En-
position of Southern resources and
products in that city this year, and
TO devise ways and means for COW
erlng the cost of such an exposi-
ton. The convention resolved with
out dissenting voice that the ex-
position should be held. Tho city
Of Chicago pledged itself to under
take the whole expense OF organ
izing and maintaining The exposi-
ton.
The several Southern States un-
dertook, Oh their part, to provide
the exhibits, and to pay the ex-
pense Of collecting, arranging and
organizing their exhibits.
When the delegates from South
Carolina met in Chicago, it was
deemed advisable that il the Leg
islature failed to make an appro-
priation to place before the world
the products and resources OF our
various cotton and other industries
It 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 view. aud it
now becomes my duty, by the au-
thority OF the Governor Of the
State, 10 invite you tc attend q
convention to be held at Spartan
burg, tn Wednesday evening, April
18th, '96, for the purpose OF pro-
viding a plan by which an exhit;t
of the industries of The State shall
oe made at Chicago. 1t is hardly
necessary for me to place before
you the imperative reasons why we
Of this State should make the hes!
exhibit.
The great development OF our
cotton factories, the natural advan-
ages we have of climate, water
power, anu cotton raise d around
the Mills must invite the attention
of capital, thereby making our
State not only foremost in agricul-
ture, but also in cotton fabric in
dustries.
In no other way can our farmers
be more judiciously helped taan by
giving them market, we might
say, near to each and every farm,
thereby linking together agricul-
ture, manufactures, and commerce.
l request, therefore, thai the
Mayors and Intendants of the Cit
les and towns IN the State attend
the convention at Spartanburg,
and appoint three delegates from
each of the cities and towns to
represent their several municipali-
ties i'll this convention, for the
purpose of insuring an exhibit by
South Carolina at Chicago.
| request that each of the cotton
manufacturing enterprises in the
State appoint representatives to
attend the convention in Spartan
burg.
also request that each of the
railroad companies doing business
in the State will appoint a repre-
sentative to attend the convention.
l shall be obliged if you will in
form me at your earliest conve-
nience the names of the delegates
you have appointed in response to
this address.
Very respectfully yours,
E. L. ROCHE,
Commissioner from So. Ca.

Chicago Record
"Ben Tillman's recent financial
speech in the senate will be moth
ing as compared to the one he is
now preparing remarked we'll
known southern politician to- day.
"Tillnian told Representative Lon
Livingston of Georgia." be con-
tinued, "lhat his four days ST ay in
New York had furnished him with
the facts by which he viii utterly
demolish Wall street and its agents
who seem to run the treasury de-
partment. He found out the en-
tire inside Of Carlisle's action in
awarding the last bonds and he
proposes to handle the subject IN
such a..sensational and Interesting
manner that his coming speech
will be doubly as interesting as
his maiden effort, the demand for
which keeps up constantly from all
parts of the country. rillman's
pig nnQ is OF all extremely sensa-
tional character. He proposes to
read, he told Livingston, certifi-
ed copy of the receipt of the bank
er who forfeited his $4,500,000 bid
for the bonds, given to Morgan,
who afterwards was awarded those
bonds Il addition tc those he got
on his own bid. The theory and
supposition has been that the bank
er was unable finally to take the
bonds. Tillman finds that he sold
his option for $4,000 to Morgan,
and he has in his possession the
certified copy Of the receipt he gave
Morgan in return for the money
paid him down."

On Friday morning when Conduc.

man named P. II. Thompson, Of

Shawnee, and about a mile before
the station WIS reached it was duly
called by the train men. Mr.. Thomp-
son at once started for the plat torn
ind was admonished by Conductor
DriscOll to be careful or he would
fall off. While tho train was at least
IL quarter of Il mile from the station
and before the mir had been applied
Thompson made n sudden jump,
landing on his face. He was thrown
considerable distance down an EN-.
Iunkment. The train was backed
up and the man was picked mp. His
lace was badly disfgured and he sus'
tanned deep cut across the fore
head. Strange to say no bones were
broken. He was taken to the next
station and turned over to a physi
clan who was soon able to place him
in a presentabls condition. His es

The straw passes through a number

Gardner Woolery and W. Blewett

they deserve credit for establishing
this industry in our midst. It is a
good thing for the town and will, if
tow manufacturing proves successful,
open up q market for fax straw,

hence will be great benefit to the
farmers. The plant costs about

out 100 bales per day.
