fails if he thinks best, but grumb-

from others on the subject.

stand together He moved the previous question Oh the amendment. which was | ordered Dr. Cunningham, the acting chairman of the committee said this question had been considered by the committee. Un- | der the present constitution an amend ment can be adopted on a two-thirds l vote of each house. That is each, house meant a majority, which was 61 in the l house and IT in the Senate. Thus two | thirds vote would be 5 in the house and 12 in the Senate. Under the proposed | section 1t would require a three-ffths vote of each house, which would be 60 in the house and twenty in the Senate He counted the vote of the black belt and said that with six additional votes they could defeat any amendment. Speaking for his county he would say that 1t would always be on the fair side. The report of this committee he continued, fixed their representation as secure on this basis, while under the present constitu- ton 1t could be changed by two-thirds vote of a quorum of each house. He be- lieved the basis of representation should be based upon population. but he re- gretted that this discussion had been pre- cipitated at this time. He would vote for an amendment which would require a two-thirds vote of the entire membership of each house to change the constitution A aye and nay vote was demanded on this which was lost by vote of H toS2. The substitute was then adopted.
 MT. O'Neal of Lauderdale moved to amend the section by requiring a two thirds vote of the Legislature instead of a three-fifths vote to amend the consti- tuition.
 This was tabled
 General Sanford of Montgomery moved to amend by striking out three-ffths and permitting a majority of the Legislature to propose an amendment to the people. This was tabled and the section as amend ed adopted.
 Section was then read. It required the substance of an amendment to be printed on the ballots to be used and the words "Yes" and ''No" are also to be printed on the ballot. An amendment by MT. Watts was adopted that an affirmative vote of a majority of all qualified. electors voting shall be necessary to adopt the amendment. The section as thus amended was adopted.
 Section was then read, which provides for the manner in which the Legislature can call a constitutional convention. It was adopted as amended by Mir. Weather ly so as to give future conventions unre- stricted authority.
 Section 1 as adopted requires that all votes of the Legislature on questions af- fecting the constitution shall be by yeas and nays, and provides that no act calling convention or submitting an amendment shall be submitted to the Governor. This section completed the article and 1t was ordered to third reading, after which the convention adjourned.
 It is understood that the committee on judiciary will indefinitely postpone action on the ordinance of MT. DeGraffenried of Hale to abolish the system of electing county solicitors recently adopted by the convention.

PROCLAMATION ISSUED
cIlamed That Burghers Are Unable TO Longer Continue Regular War fare, But Guerrilla Bands
 stIII Annoy British.

London, August s--A parliamentary pa- per has been issued containing the procia- nation issued by Lord Kitchener August ' in accordance with instructions from the imperial government, the govern ments of Cape Colony and Natal concur Ing.
 A portion of the preamble giving the reason for the proclamation follows:
 ''Whereas The burghers of the late re- publics still fin arms are not only few in number. but have lost almost all their guns and munitions of war, and are de- void of regular military organization, and are therefore unable to carry on regular warfare or to offer any organized resist ance to His Majesty's forces in any part of the country; and
 "whereas Those burghers who are still in arms, though unable to carry on regu- lar warfare. continue to make isolated at- tacks upon small posts and attachments of his majesty's forces. to piunder or de- stroy property and to damage railway and telegraph lines, and,
 Whereas, The country Is thus kept in a state of disturbance, checking the re- sumption of agricultural and industrial pursuits; and
 Whereas, His majesty's government is determined to put an end to a state of things which is aimlessly prolong1ng bloodshed and destruction and infiicting ruin upon a great majority of the inhabi- tants, who are anxious to live in peace and earn livelihood for themselves and their families; and,
 Whereas, It is just to proceed against those still desisting, and especially against those persons who, being in a position of authority, are responsible for the continuance of the present state of lawlessness and are instigating their fel- low burghers to continue their hopeless resistence to his majesty's government. !"
 The proclamation says: "All command ants, field comets and leaders of armed bandits, being burghers of the late re- publics, and still engaged in resisting his majesty's forces, whether in the Or ange River Colony, the Transvaal or other portions of his majestys South African dominions, and all members of the late government of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal shall, unless they surrender before September 15, be permanently banished from South Africa. The cost of the maintenance of the fam files of all burghers in the field who have not surrendered by September 15 shall be recoverable from such burghers and shall be a charge upon their property, recover able and inmovable, in the two colo nies."

PULLMAN GIVES
 OPPONENT THE LIB
Says MCLaurin CircuIates False Reports-TaIks of Cot
 ton Mills

Union, 8. C.. August 9.--Senator B. R. rillman was the last speaker at the big meeting here today. He discussed the Commercial Democracy" advocated by Senator McLaurin, and said In part:
 ''The report is going the rounds that the mills are behind this new doctrine. do not believe any such report. I deny that the mills and their owners want to turn the state over to the Republicans. give them credit for more patriotism and more sense. These mill people know better,and they know they would run into stone wall. These people are not for sale. want to give a warning to those who have been misled. There are some of these weak creatures around, but feel that all are not so foolish.
 'In 1890 we had 100000 spindles and now there are about 100000 spindies. The boom began when Cleveland was in the White House Cleveland did nothing to help mills, nor did Mckinley help them. They were built simply because they were found to be profitable here; because of the nearness to the field, and the climate. Our goods entered China on competitive basis pure and simple. The cry, if we do not join the Republican party we will go backwards Is a humbug and a lie. It is common sense that if we have the goods and the principles we will sell the goods.'
 He said he did not care to take up the latest of McLaurin's pronunciamentos or even dignity 1t with an answer. He would take up one, point. McLaurin insinuated that he took rebates on whisky. He said
 General Butler argued this very thing here and you know how it was answer ed in 1894. I never touched 8 dollar, and every one knows 1t, and the people show ed it by electing me time and again The talk about my being rich Is all rot, as the records of my county and the Caro- lima National Bank will show
