and fair sponsors for Confederate camps
had possession of the city.
The convention hall was packed to Its
utmost capacity and at the opening mo-
ment when the young lady sponsors
marched in bearing the battle flags OF
the Confederacy and the flags OF the
camps they represented, the enthusiasm
was simply indescribable. The conven-
ton rose enmasse as they marched
through the main aisle and cheere them
to the echo as they grouped themselves
on the stand. General Walker grace,
fully welcomed the young ladies and
General NJ. L. Bonham responded for
them in perfect gem of speech, which,
was received with round after round of
applause.
Resolutions looking to the erection Of
a monument to the women of the Con-
federacy were introduced by Major
Carwile and they were seconded by
General Butler and Rev. DR.. Elweil in
eloquent speeches, in which glowing
tributes were paid to the women OF the
South.
General Butler received great ova-
ton, both as he entered the hall and as
he rose to speak and it was several min
utes before he could make himself
heard. The resolutions were adopted
unanimously.

The Meeting at Manning.

With the exception of q declaration
by Colonel Irby that he cheated in the
March convention of 1890 to secure the
nomination of Tlllmaa, the candidates
made their usual speeches, without va.
riations. The crowd numbered 600. .
Mr.. Evans, atthe outset of his speech
repeated much that he said yesterday
about the dishonorable warfare that
was being waged against him. He
compared the sending out of circular
to tumblebug tactics, and taking up 9
circular entitled "Eyans's Evil Record
Uarolled," he hastily read the sub.
heads and denied the allegations until
he came to the bond deal charge. He
had, he declared, explained last year
IN this very courthouse his connection
with refunding the State debt. His
explanation satisfied the people then,
and after he had finished. Mr.. McLau-
rim came to him and said he allowed
eonclusivelv that his transactions in
the matter had been honorable.

CAROLINA'S PINE.
What Lumber Journal Says About
This States Lumber Forests

What a Lumber Journal Says About
This States Lumber Forests
In its special edition The Lumber
Trade Journal of New Orleans has this
to say about South Carolina's wealth OF
lumber forests:
South Carolina rnay be called pine
State, for the pine forest Is found in
every county from the coast to the
western border. The distribution is sim
liar to and follows the same line noted
in North Carolina, except that the lob.
lolly is found in its largest growth
further back from the coast, and that
there is some Cuban pine found in the
southeastern corner of the State, reach
ing up to the vicinity of Charleston.
"The forests of long leaf pine fol-
lows the coast line closely, extending
inland for q distance of about 100 miles
being we'll distributed except in the
bottoms, where cypress and other
growths abound. This State also liz
large producer of naval stores.
There is standing in South Carolina
about S., 900, 600. 900 feet of long Leaf
pine.
''The short leaf pine is simply scat.
tering along the coast plain, but be.
comes of importance in the interior,
back as far as the lower mountain foot
hills.
"The loblolly is confined TO the lower
level and along the coast, mixing with
the Cuban line in the South, and with
the deciduous growths in the bottoms
1t is not of very good quality in this
State, nor does it furnish any great part
of its cut.
sAlong the river bottoms and in the
low coast swamps, there il quite an i'm.
portant growth of cypress, magnolia,
red and white bay, laurel, oak, etc.
This region comprises about 1000
square miles and is traversed by at least
eight important streams. Here the
cypress industry first important
proportions, there being an extensive
business done, especially with the east
ern markets, mostly by coastwlse ship
ment.
sIn the western part of the State,
where the foothills begin 70 rise toward
the mountain, the mixed growth Of pine
and other woods gradually gives way to
a predominating hardwood growth,
much of which is gradually coming into
market.
"The principal outlets for the forest
products of South Carolina, both lum-
ber and naval stores, are Georgetown,
Charleston and Beaufort, while Savan-
nah, Ga, handles considerable South
Carolina product.

ASUMMARY OF THE SPEECHES.
Irby Says He Made Evans Governor
McLaurin Not Present on Account OF
ulness--Evans on McLaurin.
The following is brief summary of
the Senatorial campaign speeches from
day to day.
The Horny Meeting.

About 400 of the independent voters
Of Horny filled the courthouse to hear
The Senatorial candidates. Col. Irby,
The first speaker, said it had been a
lifelong desire of his to visit the '1nde-
pendent Republic" of Horny, and he
had often wondered why that county
should be called the "Independent Re-
bublic." but since driving from Marion
through the country he knew why it IS
thus called. In front eff every house
be saw hogs, COWS and more goats than
be had ever seen in his life. People
who raised their own supplies, as these
did, could well be called independent.
After telling his hearers all about why
they were independent he told them
that he wanted their votes, and all
about his past political record. He also
vxid he would not attack McLaurln' g
record while he was absent.
Col. Irby, in speaking OF the suffrage
clause, declared it was disgrace to
the people of South Carolina. He
spoke with his usual vigor against the
suffrage clause and was applauded
when he concluded.
Mr.. John Gary Evans took issue
with Col. Troy on his suffrage talk, and
declared that not q single white man
would be disfranchised.
Getting to his tariff speech, Mr..
! Evans said Mr.. McLaurin was . pro-
tectionist and had voted for protection
Z with the Republicans. He had charged
McLaurin with this and he didn't
deny it
Ayoice: sDidn't McLaurin and Till
man vote together on the Dingley
billY'
Evans: cru explain that later, but
don't you people try to tie McLaurin to
: Tillmsn's coat tail
Same voice: 'tWe're not. We tie
Tillman to MeLaurin's coat-tail up
here. y
Ar. Evans then explained that the
difference between Tillman and McLau-
rin was that one voted for protection to
mAke it odious and the other from prin-
ciple.
Mr.. Evans said he was not going to
DISCUSS the rice and lumber schedules,
because they didn't amount to much,
although they were wrong in principle.
he then took up In turn the sugar,
leather and woolen schedules. Mr..
i Evans wenti into the details OF the tarlf

He says at Union that McLaurin is
with him for the good of the South.

means, "Vote for McLaurin; he's as

this.
Col. Irby's speech was a reply to an
editorial in The State of the 23d inst
Col. Irby began: Without meaning to
reflect or refer to the able address of
Governor Evans; say during the ILL
ness of Mr.. McLaurin, my attack on
him is stayed. After reading the edito-
rial in question he continued: He first
asks me if have any documentary evil
dence as to the amount of the loan
made me by Senator Murphy; the
amount of such loan and the interest on
it, and if my vote was not influenced by
the loan. In reply to this will read
the following telegram 1 received from
Senator Murphy:

The charges that I loaned you money
for the purpose of influencing your vote
in senate at my dictation on Wilson bill
or any othor measure is absolutely and
unqualifedly false.
Edward Murphy.
In speaking of the rice industry Col.
Irby said that duty would do the
planters no good; that the only thing to
revive the rice industry would be te
give them back the negro.
In conclusion he said: "Conserva
tiyes and Reformels, be men, be Caro-
linians. Meet this issue like men. DIS

AN INDIANA IDEA.
An Organization of Girls for Mutun

An organization OF GIFTS Tor Alutuut
Improvement.
The Hoosier state has a new thing in
women's clubs. 1t is a mutual benefit society
of a new variety. The members are young
women, and the object of the club is to make
them individually fascinating. They call
themselves the Orioles. and II there is not
a general, mating in Hoosierdom this spring
1t won't be their fault.
Hagerstown is the home of the organiza-
ton, and the members are said to be young
women from the best families Of eastern
Indiana. Miss Josephine Davis is the presi-
dent and originator Of the club, which now
numbers thirteen members. Thirteen has
already proved itself to be a fateful number,
for one Of the members is to be married
soon. Other Orioles give signs OF mating,
and the prospects for the success of the
idea grows brighter day by day. The club
is certainly altruistic. The object is de-
clared to be "to promote the happiness Of
the MEMBERS" The originality OF the way
In which this is to be done is startling. The
girls are going to help each other to become
as fascinating as possible. IL one Oriole is
deficient In musical training, the others will
teach her. II she cannot learn to play or
sing, they will teach her the theory and
history OF music, SO that she can talk and
listen intelligently about II. Those who can
cook but not dance will be taught by those
who can dance but not cook. and vice versa.

II one of the Orioles shows matrimonial
symptoms her interests will be fostsred by
her sister members. Peculiarities Of tenn
permanent will be observed and fully dis
cussed. with a view to improving their
owner. II any are discovered which will
tend to sour the disposition, make the mind
gloomy, or the tongue rampant, a wedding
out system will at once be adopted toward
tho unhappy member Marriage with an
unworthy man will be discouraged; under
the club rules, indeed, It Is absolutely for
hidden. II a willful Oriole persists in re-
ceiying the attention OF such a man she will
be expelled from the rights and privileges
OF the club. One of the many duties OF the
members is to observe the habits and
peculiarities OF manageable men and to re-
port and discuss the same at club meetings.
Judging from these points there is a pros
pect OF a lively summer season among the
hest families of HoosierdOm.

formerly regarded as suitable only for the

Chicago the last few months to take her
place beside the army Of women stenogra-
piers and typewriters.
No one knows exactly who began the limo
walton. Perhaps the idea was borrowed from
the big department stores, which employ cash
girls almost exclusively. A few years ago
these stores used to employ boys, and cash
girls were seldom seen. But in course Of
time the cash girls became more and more
popular, until the cash boy is now the ex-
ception, while the cash girl Is the rule.
Much the same transition is predicted In
the ranks OF Office boys. The old-fashioned
office boy, who swears, smokes cigarettes
and is impertinent usually. and reads dime
novels in a corner OF loafs when he is sent
on some important errand, is fast disap-
pearing, and 1t is predicted that in course
Of time the Office girl will have entirely
taken his place.

Der Of the Offices in the big buildings down

Most OF the Office girls are ambitious.
They are like the office boy of a generation
or two ago. who entered the employ of his
master with q determination to rise to the
topmost notch. They realize that In this
day every occupation is open to them and
that they themselves may be lawyers, bank
ers, brokers, insurance agents or anything
else, II they are able to master the details Of
the business. They therefore keep their
eyes open and learn all that they can about
the business, that they may put the ideas so
gained into practice when there shall be an
opportunity, some years in the future, for
them to go into business Of some sort for
themselves.
Most of tha office girls Immediately begin
to qualify themselves for promotion. They
practice on the typewriter when they have a
few moments to spare, and so qualify them
selves for situations as stenographers. Some
OF them have already learned enough type
writing to gain an increase OF salary and a
position which calls for more typewriting
and less OF the office boys duties.
