TIE STATE CONVENTION.
Some OF the Questions Which May Come
Up-Senator TilIman Committeeman.

The State Democratic Convention will
assemble at noon on Wednesday. Every
county will be represented.
The convention will clcct delegates to
the Kansas City National Convention to
bo:hold July 4th; it will choose a National
Executive Committeeman and will adopt
rules and regulations for the government
Of tho party.
1t is generally conceded that Senator
Tillman will bo a delegate and that Col.
Willie Jones, of Columbia, will be an
other. These two seem certain, but as
to the rest there is nothing certain
Many Of the prominent citizens and oni-
cialS would accept tho honor.
Thoiplatform will be easy, unless q
snag is struck on the question of cxpan-
sion. There will be quite largo num-
Der of delegates, especially from the
upper part Of tho State, who will advo-
cato expansion.
Senator Tillman is the National Com
undoubtedly be chosen to that position
again if he desires it.
very interesting question will be as
to whether tho State canvass shall be
continued. AS a majority of the coun-
tics have. expressed themselves favora-
bly, to tho idea, there can hardly be Il
doubt as to the result.
Another question to be disposed of is
what is called tho "Grconvillo idea"
That means that a candidate shall be al
lowed to iilc his pledge ten days before
tho primary. This 'idca" viii hardly
meet with favor, us candidates who have
borne the brunt and expense Of a cam
paign would hardly relish some dark
horse to come in and beat them to the
string. Besides it is looked upon by
many rs an njusticc.-Columbia Record.

A Visit to One OF htIanta's Schools.

From tho car-shcd in Atlanta, the sew
eral hundred cXcurSioniStS who took ad-
vantage Of the cheap rates last week,
went their respective ways. Matters Of
business carried some to the city; others
went for pleasure.
Thursday evenings amusement at the
Grand Opera House was il benefit enter

was generously used that money for
paying tho expenses of the manned vet
Grams to Louisville might be raised.
This was the second recent charitable
entertainment given At the Grand; an

limited time allowed for Il visit. How
to spend ono short day is not always
easily settled. True, Whitehall offers
many allurcmcntS: but allowing a casual
glance in the show windows at the
charming turbanS of old rose and corn
shades and the iilmy fabrics artistically
arranged, to suffice, tho young pcdagogi-
cal aspirant finds nothing more proIila-
bic than visit to the public schools.
Certainly it is less expensive than shop
ping.
Williams Street School being most con
venicnt was decided upon rs the one to
visit. was fortunate in being shown

Wherever the professional spirit exists,
it is not difficult to become acquainted.
Tho grades visited were the first, see
ond and third, almost the entire morn
ing being spent with these. The rca-
son for visiting only part of the grades
was the probably greater benefit accru-
frnt, lyt, xs,.,
Waters and Payne are the respective
teachers of the first, second al -, third
grades.
There arc in the Williams street
school the dearest, brightest children
Qke some of the children we have in
Oconcc).
First came the visit to the second
grade, on Miss Waters invitation. She
said, "Gou must see my room before the
first grade, or it will no, seem SO cute"
As it was, it certainly lacked nothing OF
being "cutc.' The children did excel
lent work. Some of them were quite
quick in arithmetic; some had beautiful
copy books, writing the vertical hand
with ease and correctness; some had
very neat drawing books.
The singing in the different grades is
remarkably good.
''Ordcr is heavens first law" says
Pope. Order evidently is the first law of
the Atlanta public schools. 70 see the
pupils march ont for recess is indeed in
tcrcSting. In one grade there are sixty
pupils, six sections, SO, in marching from
the building, a first and a sccoud grade
pupil go together, 4 third and a fourth,
and SO on. 4 teacher plays Il march ON
piano. The school children are paying
for the pianos used in the schools.
The teachers are collecting specimens
of drawings and compositions To bc cX-
hibited ut their normal class this week.
Two of the grades were looking for

urday.
Visitors are always welcome, and, us
no changes are made in the usual pro

by order of Governor Pickcns. The let.
ter to the Governor is from the Comp.

even though it has no merit, is meant to

Three Hundred Thousand Tons OF Iron.

BIEMiNt IAH, Ala, May lO.-Pig iron
is being moved from BcSSlncr and EnSly
over the Kansas City, Memphis Il Bir.
mingham railroad via Holly Springs,
Miss, and the Illinois Central for New
Orleans at the rate Of three train loads
daily, about ! 200 tons. This iron is for
expectation to Europe, and the iron mas.
tcrs say this particular movement will
continue month. At the same time
much export iron is going to the ports OF
Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick, pcnSa-

rapidly engaged. The European iron
famine, causing rise in the old world in
prices, and slight DETECTION in the

OF the movement, promising an cXporta-

ed States and China. The vicercys who
have their seats of government at Nan
king and WI Chang and who govern the
five great provinces in the Yang Use
Kiang region, have assured this gov
eminent that they are determined and
perfectly able TO preserve order in their
Jurisdictions and protect the lives and
property Of foreigners.
In reply to this they have been assured
that, so long as they are able to maintain
order and protect life and property in the
provinces under their control the govern
ment of the United States will send no
troops into that region, and will use it's
influence with the other powers in the
same direction.
Another communication of great i'm
portance was received from Ii Hung
Chang, the viceroy of Canton, who gives
his personal assurance that the firing
upon the foreign fleets at Taku was not
authorized by the Chinese government.
He desires the authority Of the powers
to proceed to Pekin for the purpose of
putting an end to the disturbances there,
a purpose in which his great influence
both with the court and with the people
gives a certain promise Of success. The
United States, and it is believed the other
powers, have assented to this proposition
of Ii Hung Chang. and he is supposed to
have started for pekin
