meet at such times and places as
they may themselves determine, but
especially at such time and place
as the chairman may designate"
Therefore it will be seen that if
Mr.. Ellyson, acting upon the adj
vice of the Executive Committee,
declires to call the Central Com
mittee, there is no way of getting
meeting.
1t is quite evident that there
will be no convention unless Mr..
Martin and his supporters approve
of the scheme. Should the Central
&mmittee meet the Martin men
We have two.thirds of the votes.

He will no doubt, confer with
some of his friends and hear what
they have to say. Some of Mr..
Martins supporters are bitterly
opposed to holding the proposed
convention. They contend that
the State committee has no right
to order "a convention for the pur.
pose of nominating a candidate
for Senator. An argument that
they use is that If the committee
eau call convention for this pur
pose it can provide
for Il convention for every contest
that arises concerning men or
measures.

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1899.
The May Conference.

The conference, so much discuss
ed, has met and adjourned. The
people know about as much now
as they did before. One thing
seems to have been clearly devel-
oped and that is that w. A. Jones
will be a candidate for Mr.. Martins
seat in the Senate of the United
States. Whether or not the object
of the convention, from the begin
ming, was to bring out candidate
in opposition to Mr.. Martin, is
still question. The reccOmmen-
datiOn of the convention that no
man be elected to the next legis-
lature who docs not favor the cleo
ton of Senators by direct vote of
the people, will be an issue in the
next campaign.
However, we sincerely hope there
will be no hurteful discussion in the
ranks of the party on account of
the action Of the conference. We
are in favor of letting the
people have what they want
when they have all the facts before
them. No man, be he candidate or
not should be afraid to trust the
people.

THE STATE COMMITTEE.
Will it Comply with the "May
Meeting s" REQUEST.

mOolAbS request,
The Richmond Times says:
There is considerable doubt. it
now appears, about the State Dem
ocratic committee being called to
meet to consider the petition of the
Senatorial Reform league for a
convention to nominate a candi.
date for Senator.
Chairman Ellyson is in Charles
ton attending the Confederate
reunion, and is expected back
soon. Some gentlemen who stand
close to him say they know he
will not call the committee togeth-
er without first consulting the
members of the Executive COM
mittee.
AS soon as Mr.. Ellyson receives
the resolutions and the papers
asking him to call tine committee
he will, it is said, have a meeting
of the executive body. The mem
bers of the committee are w. A.
Jones, first district; II. Il. Boykin,
second district; ii. M. Smith, Jr..
third district; VIM. Hodges Mann.
fourth district; E. w. Saunders.
fifth district; Carter Glass, sixth
district; Thos. S. Martin, seventh
district; Joseph f. Willard, eighth
district; VIM. F. Rhea, ninth dis
trict; Edward Echols, tenth dis
trict.
There is an erroneous i'm preston
that if the chairman refuses to
call the convention a few of the
members can order a meeting.
There is no provision of this sort
in the plan of organization. Here

ILL HEALTH AND HYSTERIA
THE CAUSE.
The Young Woman Went to Golden
Gate Park to Destroy Herself,
but Was opportunely
Discovered.

Prolonged III health and a constantly
increasing tendency to morbidness were
the reasons for an Intellectual attempt at
suicide made some time yesterday even
ing by Miss Fannie Hopes, a prepossess-
ing young woman, who resides with her
stepsister, Miss Lucy P. Lawrence, at 709
Taylor street
Miss Hopes, who has been employed for
some months past by G. H. Umbsen & Co.
rs stenographer and bookkeeper, left her
. home at 9 o'clock yesterday morning
after telling her sister that she was go
ing on some trifling errand before going
10 the office. She did not return at her
lunch hour, and her sister, who has feared
for some days past that she was contem-
plating an attempt upon her life, at once
telephoned 10 the Umbsens They in
formed her that Miss Hopes had not been
at her desk during the morning.
Fearing the worst, Miss Lawrence went
out to the Cliff House and from there
sought the life saving station. 1t had
been her sisters custom to spend her
spare hours at the beach and Miss Law
renee concluded that II she had carried
cut her oft-repeated threats TO take her
life She had gone out TO the cliffs to do
il. She walked the beach all through the
lnornlng, but finding no trace OF the miss
%nS woman finally notified the police at
the Southern station, and a systematic
search, in which the Umbsens assisted,
was begun.
The missing young woman was found
a. $3.50 o'clock last night lying unconscious
on a bench in the park panhandle, near
the corner Of Clayton and Fell streets, a
piece of cotton tightly clutched in her
band and an empty chIoroform bottle by
her side. She had evidently not only in
hailed the fumes of the drug, but had
taken d quantity internally. DR.. Wilson
a near by physician, was called, and upon
discovering her condition ordered her re
moved at once 10 the Receiving Hospital
where after an hours hard work she was
brought back to consciousness.
Miss Lawrence, the sister, said concern
ing the case: My sister has been in Ill
health for some months, but returned
from her vacation a month ago much

threatened several times TO do away with

has worked for some months, speak high

as may be. The surgeons at the hospital
