The republican county centra |
committee hello a meeting at Toledo
last Friday. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Chairman Wadsworth
and l.. c. Powell performed the du-
ties of secretary. The meeting was
held i'll the county treasurer's Office
and six members faced the chair
man when he raped for order, a
part of these being represented by
proxy. The committee found itself
confronted by two vacancies on the
ticket to be filled, surveyor and cor
oner. A letter from Josiah Gideon
informed the committee that he re-
spectfully declined the nomination
for surveyor. The committee filled
up the vacancy by nominating Will
7. Webber. The convention nom
inee for coroner failed to file his ac-
ceptance and the committee filled
this vacancy by nominating Thos.
Coonbs, of Beaver creek. The
committee then made the necessary
arrangements for the speakers, etc.
After this the committee got this
all done they proceeded to settle
the silver question. A free coinage
resolution was placed before the
committee, and silver once more
got black eye from the republi
cans, and the resolution was de
feated by vote of S to 2. Afte
silver received its Waterloo the com

In decision handed down by
the supreme court at Pendleton last
Monday it was declared that women
are moi eligible to hold the Office of
county school superintendent. The
decision is in a case from Union
county and has been hurried to a
conclusion in order that whatever
effect it might have on the various
female candidates throughout the
state might be provided against.
There are fifteen female candidates
for this Office now running through
out the state.
The decision is a lengthy one,
and is based on article VI, section
OF the constitution, which pro-
Nides, mo person shall be elected d
or appointed to a county office who
shall not be an elector of the coun-
ty, and section of article II, OF
the same instrument, which defiues
an elector as male citizen. The
court then says: Hence it neces.
sarily follows that none but male
citizens can be elected or appointed
for county offices. Now, the Office
ofsuperintendent of common school,
although not so mentioned in the
constitution, was, at the adoption
of that instrument and ever since
has been and is now, unmistakably
county Office. 1t is so named ant
designated i'll the statutes creating
that office, and providing for the
jurisdiction and duties OF the head
thereof; The incumbent is nomi-
mated and elected at the same time
and in the same manner as Other
county officers; his jurisdiction is
CO. extensive with the boundaries O
his county; his salary is fixed aut
paid BY the county, and vacancies
in the Office are filled by appoint
ment by the county court. In shor,
the Office is in every sense county
Office. Therefore, it follows thai
whatever views we may entertain
as to the propiiety of the constitu
tional provisions prohibiting womer
from holding county offices, W,

HE HAS BEEN WITH TILIINIAN
Governor Evans Oh the Coming State
COnycntiOn-Hc Thinks Tillman
Should be Nominated for Prcsi-
dent.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
Governor Evans has returned to the
city from New York and Washington,
where he has been for the past week
on official business. He was in good
health and spirits and talked pleasant
ly to d representative OF Tho State on
politics, State and national. On the
! table in his library lay Il handsome
gold. headed walking cane, with "John
Gary Evans, April 2l, 1896" engraved
thereon. 1t was presented by an ad-
mirer OF the governor.
When asked how he was pleased
with tho actions Of the different coun-
ty conventions, which were held
on Monday, he answered that he was
moro than satisfied with tho result.
When the State convention met on the
Goth inst, he said, Tillman would be
present with strong majority of the
delegates thinking us he does, and
ready to act with him. There was no
doubt in his mind about Tillman being
sent at the head Of the delegation from
this State to Chicago. Tho delegates
would probably go uninstructcd, but
with firm determination to nominate
O. man as candidate for President who
stood for silver At lG to |.
AS TO boting, he hardly thought the
delegation would find it necessary, for
there would be- majority at tho Chit
cago convention holding the same
views us they did on the monetary
question.
The governor was particularly graft
fed with the results in Charleston,
Greenville and Laurers. Onc-half of
the Charleston delegation, he said,
were stalwart administration men, who
could be relic Il on. In Laurcns Irby
barely got in BY che ii Anti delegates
in the convention supporting him. He
would come to Columbia, but rs mem.
Der of the State convention, would, to
use q slang expression, mot cut any
ice"
.rby's Inconsistency is being brought
out forcibIy, he thinks, for last year
the Sepator would not hear of divis.
ion OF delegates with the Ants, while
now 1t looks as If ho is trying hard to
get their support since he Is about to
lose his seat in the Senate.

PROGRESS OF JAPAN.-Therc is no
precedent in the history of nations for
the wonderful progress made by the
Japanese. The country is becoming
less and less dependent on Other cOun-
tries for its supplies.
1t is only forty years since the ports
CT Japan have been opened to com
mcrco. 1t is but twenty-eight years
since the first labor-savirg machine
was set up ip the empire. The eX-
ports and imports now exceed $ll5,-
000, 600.
Tho Industrial revolution now going
on is in its way quite rs intcrt sting as
the political revolution Of thirty
years ago. Until recently all the manu-.
facturing done in Japan was carried
on in the households and even now y5
per cent. Of the skilled labor still is
occupied iu the homes of the people.
This does away with the conditions
which surround the wage-earncrs in
all other countries.
The Gu tOm is for the son to continue
the occupation OF the father. The
finest brocades and silks, the most
artistic porcelain and cloisonne are
made under the roofs OF the cottages.
and the payment is in proportion to
the quality of the piece produced
The younger generation is being con-
vinced OF the value of machinery and
factories are being built in ali parts
Of the empire.
1t is said that the Quickest way TO
instruct the Japanese in any handicraft
Is to let them go through the work $
and look on. Almost instantly they
are able to repeat the process. The
best native watchmakcrs get only &C
cents Il day.

The Governor is Of the opiaion that

The Goveruor Is Of the opinion that
he Is tho mau who is about to unseat
lrhy in tho Senate, Everything Is
moving slnoothly to that end, 50 he
says, and he eutortaiuS no fears of the
result.
When Greenviile was mentioned.
Governor Evans could not repress y
smile. "Ges," no said. "Gray and
donaldson have boon given back seats. :"
He thought that tho night in Green
vile had been made on voly much the
same llne as it will bo for tho Senate,
and il 1T ends the same way he will
carry the county.
While In Washington. tho Governor
said he had talked with many loading
mon from all ovor tho United States.
Almost cvcry man thought Tillmun
tho logical candidate to nominate on Il
frce silver platform. TO win the fight
Tor the Democratic party and silver,
against Mckinley, it will take Il man
who can arouse the enthusiasm of the
people in tho West No half-hearted
man would stand any showing, the
times requiring man OF Tillman'S
magnetism.
1t Is marvellous, ho says, to note the
number Of letters Tillman receives
from all over the country, telling him
how much he Is admired. They are
! not confined to the West, but come
from New York and other Eastern
States.
Tlllman was not candidate for the
PRESIDENTIAL nomination, but if the
party demanded his services he would
ot course make the fight for silver.
Illlmans name would, almost with.
out doubt, tho Governor said, be pre-
sscnted to the Chicago convention, and
/ II II were he would probably receive
! the nominations
AS tor Tillmun not ranking wcll In
! Washington, that was all nonsense.
lie was regarded by other Senators as
! " very able man, and was listened to
with great attention whenever he
: spoke.
In conclusion. the Governor said
Illlman's pitchfork will be the em-
! Diem OF the victorious farmers of the
south and West and there is promise
OF lively times ahead. Tillman stands
before tho nation now as he stood in
South Carolina in 1900 and look for
tho same result"

and political circles here, at convincing the

OF domestic politics make II impossible for
Spain to enter into any formal agreement
