Democratic State convention
adopted these resolutions to-day I:
"We particularly endorse the
financial plank therein, declaring
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the ratio OF
16 to 1, independent of any other
nation. We are proud of the
patriotic conduct in peace and war
of that brave leader of democracy,

WHAT KIND OF A DEMO
Graf rs THIS?

Senator McLaurin favored the
Republican doctrine of protection
in his campaign for the United
States Senate, and a good many
foolish democrats voted for him,
although they must have known it
was a.departure from the faith of
the fathers, and now he goes step
further and favors the reelection
of republican President Mckinley,
hear him:
eff the Presidential election
should take place now," says Sem
ator McLaurin with great earnest
ness, "I would be in favor of re-
nominating him by acclamation
and electing him without putting
another candidate in the field
against him. He has shown won
derful judgment in dealing with
the war problem. I voted for the
recognition of Cuban independ-
ence, but I am free to admit I made
a great mistake. The President
was right in refusing to recognize
the insurgents. They have demon
strated to all reasonable men that
they are nothing short of a coward
ly band of robbers, without an Or
ganized forl of government or any
army. The President has done a
great and lasting service to the
country in utilizing the war to
wipe out all traces of sectionalism.
he has known no section or party
in the administration of the high
duties imposed upon b i'm, and his
appointments Of Butler, Lee,
Wheeler, Gordon, to high and re-
spo1sible positions has won the
hearts and sympathy of the men
and women of the South, and he is
to-day tho pride of the entire na-
ton. I predict that his peace
policy will be as wise and firm and
as much of a success as was his
war policy"

Senator McLaurin has put his
foot into it, and his latest devia-
ton from the proper course of a
democratic official reminds others
of his action soon after he entered
the United States Senate. Per-
haps his first appointment was
given + a populist, the avowed
leader of that party in South Caro-
lima, when he put Mr.. J. W. Bow
den in office and displaced a dem
ocrat. Senator McLaurin needs
ballast in his public career, and is
fast proving his incapacity as q
political leader-Greenvillo Noun

England is said to have contratc-
I'd with the Pocahontas Coal Co.,
10 furnish coal for all her coaling
stations. Seven cargoes have been
recently shipped, aggregating over
Sc 5enty thousand tons. If this be
true it is evident that in the event
Of an Anglo Russian war England
will not be caught unsupplied with
coal as Spain was. It is possible
also that the awarding of such a
contract to an American concern
may have it's bearing on the
attitude of the United States.
England evidently desires the
backing of the United States and
tits notunlikely that she would
receive considerable encourage
ment from America. We have
never had a serious difficulty with
Russia but there is no bond OF
sympathy between either the gov
ern,nents or peoples Of the two
counties.-Ex..

Dun's commercial agency gives
the following as q resume of the
business outlook for the week end
ing Aug. 9th:
The volume of business : :fected
in exchanges at the principal
clearing houses is 20.4 per cent.
larger than last year, and 26.o
per cent. larger than in 1892,
heretofore the year of largest
business and highest prosperity
ever known. Part of this increase
was due to speculation at New
York, but there remains a healthy
increase over the best of previous
years, and though in some branches
business is not satisfactory in
character, in nearly all it is III
volume larger than ever before.
No nnfavorable change appears In
the prospect of crops upon which
the welfare of the country SO largely
depends, nor is there present
threatening financial disturbance.
Europe has not wearied of buying
American securities, although
some speculators have been selling,
nor is there shown any want OF
confidence among American inves-
tors. The money maket is running
smoothly, without any symptom
of danger, and the unusual delay

related to the said Neal. We have
had intimations of this character

the said Neal has assumed the role

1t is manifestly, clear that such
line of proceeding would place
the cotton growers in command
of the situation and change the
outlook from one of bankruptcy
and run to one of profit and COM
potency.
It further seems than an effort
in this line would meet with The
aid and approval of almost every
business interestin the south.
Well knowing that the principal
obstacle to the accomplishment of
this undertaking would consist in
the maturing obligations of the
cotton growers, incurred in the
production of the crop, a special
committee has been arranged for,
consisting of one member from
each State, to confer with
capitalists and provide the neces-
sary funds to take up these liens
and carry the cotton until such
time as it can be disposed of at
a profit.
Under instructions from the
executive committee of the Nat
ional Cotton Growers Union, with
a view Of placing South Carolina
in a position to carry out these
propositions, I now call upon you
as the president of the organization
in this State to call a convention
to meet in Columbia at the earliest
possible day. Please use such
diligence as will secure a full
representation from each county
in the State.
Should our State act with
promptness and decision, it would
in all probability have a most
happy effect on all the other cotton
growing States.
This is a matter of vital conse-
quence to the entire cotton belt
and too important to brook any
unnecessary delay.
While I have thought proper to
give you an outline of the commit
tees plan of procedure, it was
thought best by the committee
not to make it public just yet.
Yours very sincerely,
L. w. YoUMANs.

There is an increased acreage Of
cotton all over this beautiful un-

these farmers are to US. We get
