REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE

The Republican State committee ut it's
meeting in Lynchburg on Wednesday GER
tainly showed no lack of determination
in the course which 1t pursued; but
whether it acted wisely or not in remov-
ing Colonel Lamb from the position Of
| State chairman time alone can determine.
In deciding not to call State convention,
| however, and making fair elections the
paramount issue in the camaigh, the COM
mittee displayed a degree..of political wis
dom very creditable to the Judgment and
| discernment of the members. AS the case
now stands that party is in hopeless
minority throughout the State, and it
would be utterly impossible for any ticket
they might nominate to make Roadway
against such popular man as Major
Hoge Tyler. Everybody, however, knows
that there are serious defects in the cleo
amendment is very desirable. It is within
the power of the Democratic party to
make all the necessary changes; but as
they can take no action until the next
| legislature meets, the Republicans aud
Populists will be able to use the appeal
in the pending campaign. The address
to the Republican voters of the State ia
very adroitly worded and cannot fail to
have strong effect on the members of
that party. Altogether it must be ad-
IL tied that the men who outlined the
Of
State at Lynchburg on Wednesday are
fully alive to the situation and ready to
take advantage of any opportunity to adj
vance the interests of the organization
which they represent The threat of ex-
Chairman Lamb to call n convention de-
spite the action of TIE committee will
hardly be carried out in view of the
almost neutrality-suspicious. of the party
in the State, as was shown by the vote OF
its representatives at Lynchburg.

The London Times discusses the extra
ordinary fall in the price of silver, and
finds IL to be an argument against any
attempt at international bimetalism
But is it not rather the strongest posi-
bic argument in favor OF an attempt to
preserve by international agreement all
the vast wealth now represented by silver
| coinage and all the comm cree that is de-
pendent upon that coinage?
| Mexico, BreZil and all the South and
Central American republics except one
ha silver as the basis of their monetary
systems. So has India and so has China
France, Austria and other European
countries hold in their banks no less than
81 ,506, 600, 900 of silver coin. If silver
continues to decline in price all this
money must go into the limbo of nothing
ness
| Who is to bear the loss? What is to
become of the commerce of the silver
ountries-Eng lands best customers--if
their money is to be wiped out? Mexico
has already put stop to foreign trade
for this cause. Must not all the other
silver countries do the like if the decline
continues?
Is it not more imperatively necessary
now than ever before for England and
Germany to join with the United States
in an earnest effort to find some way out
of ths.c de sac? Is not our appeal for

L. j. Williams, chairman of the
State Board of Control, for the
month of November, in recent
interview in the Columbia State
says:
"The profits from the business
would show decrease of about 20
per cent. as compared with those
of the same month of the preced-
ing year. Wr. Williams thinks
that the low price of cotton and
the general depression of business
has had about as much to do with
this falling off az the ., P. stores
and the tigers. He called atten-
ton to the fact that the report for
the same month of year before last,
when cotton was SO low, showed a
figure far below that of last year
when prices of cotton were higher
and business was more brisk"

JUDGE COTHRAN DEAD.

Judge Cothran is dead. A tele-
gram to Columbia on Sunday last
announced that he had died On the
train en- route home, between Jer-
sey city and Philadelphia.
He has been so i'll for some
weeks that hopes for his recovery
were abandoned, and it was his
desire to get home before the end
came, but providence decreed
otherwise. He suffered from a
kidney affection. His death will
be received throughout the state
with genuine regret. There are
few as noble men as Judge Cothran
was.
Judge Cothraa was born in Alb
beville, August s, 1880. His early
education was received IN the
common schools and completed at
the Georgia university in 1852.
He was admitted to the bar in
1854, and began practice at once,
continuing until the outbreak of
the war. He enlisted in Orr's rifles
as private and served throughout
until the surrender, having risen
to the rank of captain. He was
wounded three times but none of
them were serious.
Returning to Abbevllle he
resumed the practice of law which
he followed until 1875, when he
was elected solicitor of the eighth
circuit. He was reelected in 1880,
but in May 1881 he was appointed
by Governor Hagood to fill an
une1pired term as Judge caused
by the death of Judge Thompson.
He was elected for the full term
that year and again in 1885. While
still on the bench he was elected
to congress in 1885 and was re-
elected in 1888. In December, 1889,
he accepted the Office of division
counsel of the Richmond and
Danville railroad and has continu-
ed to hold that position, after the
road became the Southern.
In 1856 he was married to Miss
Emma c., daughter of the Hon.
T. C. Perrin. The issue of the
marriage was four sons and one
daughter. He was member of the
Presbyterian church. He was
stockholder in various enterprises
in Abbeville, and as a business
man was quite succ essful.
