ipulation. The end of the long. ex.
hausting fight brought reasonable
degree of harmony to the factions
which have carried through the fight
relentlessly and battled for every inch
of ground. Nearly every body join
ed heartily in a demonstration when
the candidate appeared for the first
time before the convention to accept
the nomination and return his thanks.
The Goebel forces held the opposi-
tion down to business closely all day,
forcing balloting, defeating them
when they showed signs of weakness,
and sought sine die adjournment,
compelling vote on proposition to
drop the hindmost man on each
ballot after the 25th, and came ont of
the final trial Of strength shortly
after 10 O'Clock tonight with colors
flying. Stone was dropped on the
25th ballot, and Hardin proved
unable to control enough of the
Stone votes to win. The scenes
during the last ballot were dramatic,
though not so exciting as many in
which the delegates had participated.
After the nomination the convention
enjoyed few minutes Of relaxation
and reconciliation. Speeches were
made by Congressman Wheeler,

TO COMPLETE.
THE CAPITOL.
The Old Question Under
Consideration Once More.

column Ola, June Z0.@fGe-~-trst
question that thousand of visitors have
asked since the war upon their arrival
in the capitol grounds has been, "Why
doesn's the State fin;sh thst magnificent
building How can she afford to let
it stand there iu that shape and 60 to
ruin p The soswer he's always been
given that the State was too poor to
stand the necessary expenses Of late
years the refundirg of the State bonds,
coupled with number of things
increasing the general expenses Of the
government and the taxes have caused
those who have been looking to the
welfare of the State to regard the
completion of the State house as some
thing for consideration in the dim,
distant future. ali knew that bonds
could not be issued for the money
necessary, and they have simply not
thought of any other way to bring the
desired end about. But better times
have come to the people, and there is a
prospect now that there will be several
more millions of taxable property
placed 10 South Carolina by the rail,
roads in the next year.
In the meantime the building has
been suffering badly and tho wafer is
getting in its work on the main walls.
Tn the office of the Adjutsnt General,
for instance, the effects of the present
condition Of the structure can be seen.
Since Secretary of State Cooper has
been in charge of the building he has
realized that something will have to be
done in the near future. 10 order to
see what it will cost to complete the
building according to its original design,
he bas had some Investigations made.
On the grounds are to be found many of
the massive granite columns 10 complete
form and the granite blocks from which
most of the others are to be cut. A
rough estimate as to the cost Of the
completion Of the structure with dome
and all as originally designed by the
architects is inat the work can be done
for between $250.000 and 100000.
1t would take several years to do the
work, even were all the money available
at the start, but it is figured that tax
levy of not over one.sixth of mall,
collected for period of about Eve
years, would bring about the completion
of the building and none would feel it
to a2y extent.
1t is understood that the Secretary
and tie State house commission will
bring tae matter to the attention of the
General Assembly next winter. coupling
the recommendation with accurate
figures In the meantime the members
of the General Assembly will be in a
position to look into the matter for
themselves and decide whether the time
has come to at least make start
Though it is not known that such is
the case, it is understood that Goverro,
McSweeney is heartily iu favor Of the
commencement of the work uocn some
such basis.

OF all things fond and treasured here,
Far dearest are, know, to her
The little garments that my dear
Has laid away in lavender.
She folded them so long ago
quite forget how many years
Smoothing them down with fingers
slow
That could not find their way for
tears.
I know she kissed them one by one,
And patted them, just as she did
So often, after day was done.
The little blue-check coverlid.
I never look at them, for men
God knows my heart is bitter yeti
But she-will steal away, and then
Go silent, with her lashes wet.
Such times / know that she has lnelt,
For a long hour, sad-sweet to her,
In some dim, silent nook that smelt
OF buried things and lavender.
We never speak, you know, Of this;
It must not seem less far away.
But when, some nights, feel her kiss
Sometimes do not dare to pray
