This convention pledges its nominee for Gov
ernor that he WI approve of such legislation
as will carry into effect the sixth Sec
ton OF Article 10 of the State Con-
stitntion which provides that tho Leg
islature shall provide special tax which
shall not exceed two mills on the dollar
or all taxable property in the State in addition
to the other means provided for the supL ort
end maintenance of the State University and

mends all county conventions of the Silver

stltution by passing bill levying q tax of one

We invite comparison of the four years dur

of the State Government with the last four
years of the Republican regime. The expen-

to S5l ,OU, that of the last Silver Party Legi Ia

Department for the last year Immediately pre-
ceding Silver Party control amounted to
over S3s, 500, while but S26,50O were the expen-
ses of the Executive Department for 1897. For
the last four years of Republican management
5000 were expended in public buildings as
against S97 COD by the Silver Party. And dur
Ing the periods in comparison, in support of the
public schools of the State, the Silver Party
expended $4,000 rs against S2j6, 500 by the Re-
publican party. No one can examine the fore.
going and many other facts and figures which
might be adduced, without the resulting con-
viction that the Silver Party has fulfilled its
promise of retrenchment with reference to sal
aries Of State officials and the curtalment of
unnecessary expenses, while, on the other

CURTIN'S ILLIMITABLE CHEEK.

Method of Reaching Mil

The absolute, real, undoubted hero
OF this war is not Admiral Dewey sink
ing all the Spanish feet at Manila, nor
Hobson, sinking a portion of the Amer
lean fleet at Santiago, nor Shafter driv-
ing out the feet of Cervera and captur-
ing an army double that of his own,
nor Sampson ami his subordinatess send
ing Cervera to destruction, nor twenty
others we could name, but it is Ensign
Curtin, landing at the port of Ponce,
and with inimitable cheek sending his
ultimatum to the commander of the
Spanish forces at Ponce by telephones!
OF all the astonishing incidents of this
war nothing for novelty approaches
this, and Mr.. Curtin should go down in
history as the originator of the hello"
method of reaching military results.
The illimitabIe gall of this youth de-
serves to, be ,crystalliled in history.
Murat and Lannes, by their capture OF
the, tete du pont at Vienna, have been
handed down as the typical Gaseous
but Mr.. Curtin has outbraved. them all.
The Army and Navy Journal, which ex-
pects to chronicle the official reports
OF the battle of Armageddon, hardly
hopes to record anything hereafter
which for. pure impudence will exceed
this occurrence. The only thing which
could rival it would be for another en-
sign to. send district messenger boy

The county board of commissioners
held its regular quarterly meeting in
the office of the supervisor last Monday
as required by law. There were pres
ent Messrs. ]. F. Ashe, D. G. Stanton,
A. H. White, w. w. Miller, J. l.. Moss,
T. A. Gwinn, w. T. Mcknight, Super
visor Culp and Clerk Brice.
Pursuant to custom, Clerk Brice
read a list of the orders that had been
issued since the last regular meeting
of the board.
AS the next business, Mr.. Brice ex-
planned that under statute passed at
the last session of the general assem-
bly,, it was the duty of the various
township magistrates to send in their
books at this meeting in order that the
board might examine them and report
to the approaching term of the court.
No books had been presented ut the
time, and among other things was
discussed the advisability of reporting
all the magistrates to the court for

ANOTHER COTTON MILL.

Mr.. w. N. Ashe, the well-known
brickmaker of Yorkville, has prop
osition in another column that will
be of interest to those who are in
vestigating the cotton mill question.
Asked about this proposition, he said
to the reporter on Monday:
ayes, it is bona fide offer. Open
first for the building of mill in York
vile, or if not taken here, then any.
where in this section. I'll take $4,000
worth of stock, payable in brick, in a
100000 mill. But, of course, it must
be business proposition on the other
side also. That is, the other 100000
must be subscribed in cash or mate
rials on the same basis. And this
proposition, understand, is not just a
scheme to get a big price for the brick
I will subscribe as stock. The brick
will be put in at competitive prices"
Mr.. Ashe furnished the brick for the
York Cotton mills on the same basis OF
his present proposition, or something
very similar to it, and the offer may
very properly be taken as nucleus
for the organization of another big
mill.

GODS POWER SHOWN IN MIRACLES.
DIR. A. C. Dixon Discusses on the Story OF
Jonah and the Whale.

DR.. A. C. Dixon Discusses on the Story o
Jonah and the Whale.
Rev. DR.. A. c. Dixon, pastor of the
Hanson Place Baptist church, Brook
lyn, preached last Sunday evening on
The text: "Now the Lord had pre-
pared a great fish to swallow ur
Jonah" DR.. Dixon said he believed
the events recorded in the book o.
Jonah Just as they are stated there
and that every other explanation is
founded upon unbelief in the omnipo
tence of God.
"There is nothing said of the meth
cd by which God prepared the fish,
continued DR.. Dixon. 'If he had wish
ed to do so he might have made fish
Of such peculiar sctructure that Jonah
might have been accommodated on
the inside with ample room and suffi
cient air, so that miracle would have
been needed only in the construction
of the fish; all the rest had beer natu'
raj. Omnipotence might have given
Jonah a stateroom and all the conven'
fences of ocean travel. Men with
modern scientific knowledge make
such fish out Of iron, put human beings
in them, and send them to the bottom
of the sea, where they can remain for
quite while, and come again to the
surface without injury. The subma'
rine boat, to be sure, has not yet been
perfected but it is even now of prac'
tical service. What man has almost
done with mechanical appliances sure
ly our Creator, God, could do through
vital forces. Science is in danger oi
claiming all the miracles, and scien-
tific men who boast of the wonders in
the progress of modern civilization
should not sneer at the workings OF
God whose laws they must obey in or,
der to produce any result.
"What l wish to insist upon, and
what l believe with all my heart, is
that if Almighty God had needed a
fish big enough to swallow not only
Jonah, but the ship and crew on which
he was sailing, God was equal to the
emergency of making such fish, and
preserving both flesh and crew safe and
sound under the water for three days.
Indeed, the God who made the uni
verse could, by the fiat of his will, make
a fish with throat large enough to
swallow Brooklyn bridge and keep it
intact. Is it too much to say that such
God, if he wished to do it, could
make an animal large enough to swal-
low the globe and fly through space
with it? l am purposely extravagant
in language in order that l may exalt
the omnipotent God Whose we are
and Whom we serve. Let puny men
stand dumb before Him. Let human
weakness not presume to measure His
power, nor human wisdom to compass
His knowledge"
