IIARIESTON ENpOSIrION


Thursday, March 20,h, has been set
apart by the Exposition authorities
and the general assembly rs South
Carolina Day at the Charleston Expo
sition, and the governor In n proclama
tion has endorsed the action of the
legislature and urged the people TO at
tend the Exposition at some time dur
ing its progress, and especially on
South Carolina Day
We hope to sec Ncwbnrry County
largely represented in Charleston on
this day. 1t Is unnecessary to repeat
here the many reasons why every citi-
zen Of the State who can should attend
tho Exposition. But IL the pcoplc Of
South Carolina want to SEQ displayed
tho resources and industries Of their
State, and OF almost every section Of
this country, aud other parts Of tho
world, they should not miss the oppor-
tunity that is here offered. Tho OK.
hihits in any one building alono will
justify the trip. And especially should

possibilities of the State Mt large. draw

The Exposition Is n state enterprise,
worthy OF the most hearty support aud
encouragement Of the State, and South
Carolina Day should hr tho red letter
day in its history, aud we hope to see
large number OF the people OF our
county in attendance.
by all means attend the Exposition,
and If possibly, be there on South Caro-
lima Day.

THE PEOPLE MIAKErKE ESENTED

The fillowiug interview from Senator
Tillman appeared i'll the New York Sun
the day after Tillman's denial of the
Platt interview:
Senator Tlllman was asked last night:
is the state of public feeling in South
Carolina such that President Roosevelt
would hc i'll danger OF personal violence,
should he carry out his plans Of visiting
your Statc?"
'Thc senator's verbatim reply was:
Il don't believe it is dangerous in
that sense, but know there is very in
tcnscfccling there. Our people are
not Savages, but You cant undertake
to speak for all entire people in
that condition Of mind. If were
to- go aud say they wouldn't insult Pres
ldent Roosevelt if lie should go there,
il might inspire somc drunken fool to .do
it. There might be some drunken fool
who would blow of his Indignation and
not have proper regard for the proprictics
which would obtain almost anywhere i'll
the United States
If the above interview with Senator
Tillnan be true, and we presume il 10. as
the Times, the Tribune, and the World,
OF the same date, reported substantially
the same interview, Senator Tiluun is
doing his Statc.and his people q great in.
justice. The people of South Carolina
are neither "trunken fools" nor alc they
lacking III "propcr regard for the pro.
prctcs which would obtain almost any
where i'll the United States" So far as we
have been able to observe, there is nc
'intcnsc feeling" anywhere in this
State regarding the President and II,
would not be in the slightest danger OF
any harm. On the contrary he will he
given most cordial and hearty reception,
and welcome as the chief magistrate
OF this country. We cannot say that the
people Of South Carolina will condemn
MIR. Tllman for thus misreprcsentinl
them. for it seems tha, during his reig,
III this State he has been at liberty TO sa,
anything that he plcascs and even OH III,
stump when he would teuominate Iii.
supporters as fools, the sentiment woult
be applaudcd. How long lie will con
tinuc to hold such sway over the peopl,
of this State we are not able to say.

The news Of the death Of Mr.. J. ID.
Campbell, official stcnographer of tho
Seventh circuit, was received In New
berry on last Monday with deop regret.
Mr.. Campbell during his service in this
position had made many warm friends
In Newberry. Personally we liked and
esteemed him, and always looked for
ward with pleasure to his coming
among us.
His presence will he missed at the
Newberry courts, and the place which
he had won In tho esteem of his friends
In Newberry will be hard to fill.
Tho article published In our last
Issue was mistaken in saying that Mr.
Campbell was the first stenographor OF

tho State Sunday school Convention.

The State Sunday School Convention
which will meet in Greenwood, 5. c.,
March 25~27 will be a notable gathering.
From information already had we have
reason for expecting a large attendance;
enquiries for programs and other infor
ina' 'Cn are coming i'll from all sections Of
onr state Besides prominent and force
tul speakers Of our State who will attend,
the Sunday School association has en-
gagged the services of Mr.. Chas. d. Meigs,
OF indianapolis, Ind, who will deliver
| several Of his wide awake addresses. MIR.
Meigs is widely known as a Sunday
| school specialist, and III some sections is
referred to as the "Sunday School Awak-
cner.' He is the author Of several mono
graphs relating to the great Sunday school
| movement that is awakening this and
| other continents to larger appreciation Of
the opportunities everywhere within
reach of every we'll meaning, consecrated
man and woman. He is also associate
| editor of the '1nternational Sunday
| School Evangel" published in St. Louis
He is live wire and will do us all good.
1t will be source Of great delight and of
improvement both spiritually and mental
ly to every superintendent and teacher
who will attend. The expense is sig.
gniticant, but the cause is great. ]
hope that the Sunday schools o
South Carolina will take up this
matter forthwith and if the superin
tendent or teacher say in each school i.
disinclined or disnterested, then let the
Sunday school defrav the expenses of the
trip, aud it will be more than amply feim
bursed. 1t is the cause of the Master: le
no man be slaggard or see any lions in
the way. Lastly, this movement stand.
for christian cooperation in good work

knew nothing of said convention and
could not upon inquiry ascertain the
time for holding said district mass
conventions, which purported to
select thirty-ei9ht delegates to the
Senatorial convention and instruct
said delegates TO vote for a candidate
for State Senator for the Sixth
Senatorial District, who would
pledge himself to vote for Senator
\. B. Scott for the United States
Senate; and in view of the fact that
the Senatorial delegates from the re-
naming three counties in the Sixth
Senatorial District, consisting of
Wayne, Mingo and Wyoming coun-
ties, with forty delegates instructed
to vote as unit for a candidate for
the State Senate who would agree
to vote for j. l.. Cald well for the
United States Senate-making i'm all
thirty eight votes for Senator Scott
and forty for Nh. Caldwell; and in
view Of the further fact that a num-
Der Of Senator Scott's friends openly
say and declare that a Caldwell
candidate shall not be elected from
the Sixth Senatorial District. Be
lieving as we do that the Republican
party is bigger than any one man
and for the sake of harmony and the
success OF the Republican ticket in
the approaching election; and know
ing that you personally led the
fight for Senator Scott in Mcdowell
and Mlngo counties, We, the friends
of and supporters of Mr.. Caldwell,
make you the following proposition:
First: That the Senatorial conven-
tion called for Welch, June :, 1902
be postponed for one month or to
such future time as the Senatorial
committee may deem proper.
Second: That Primary Elec
tion be called in each of the four
counties in the Sixth Senatorial
District and that the names of Sena-
tor Scott and Mr.. Caldwell be placed
on ballot to be voted for by the
legal Republican voters at the vari-
Gus voting places in each of the four
counties. The candidate receiving
the greater number of votes in each
of the said four counties be allowed
and authorized to name the Senator
ial delegates for each of the said
four counties.
Third: That ;he candidate there.
by securing the greater number of
delegates from the four counties
collectively comprising the Sixth
Senatorial District, be allowed TO
name a candidate for the State Sen
ate to represent the Sixth Senatorial
District favorable TO his candidacy
for the United States Senate; that
the friends of Senator Scott be
allowed to name one commissioner
and one clerk and Mr.. Caldwell's
friends name the other commissioner
and clerk TO conduct said Primary
Election.
Fourth: That the votes cast in
said Primary Election be canvassed
and the results declared by a com
mittee of three, each candidate Tor

Sixth Senatorial Convention.
Welch. w. Va, June :. 1902


The Sixth Senatorial District con
vention is now thing of the past,
but 1t will be many a long year
before it will be forgotten, for such
a convention perhaps was never seen
before in West Virginia.
1t met at 10 o'clock this morning
in the court house and adjourned by
noon, but in that short time such
scenes as occurred were rarely ever
Witnessed anywhere; statute law,
moral law and parliamentary law
were broken.
- Trouble was anticipated before
the convention met and Edgar p.
Rucker, and other partisans of
Senator Scott, had threatened not
only to defeat Caldwell man if he
were nominated at the convention,
but we have been reliably informed
that Mr.. Rucker stated at the MingO
convention and afterwards that
"Caldwell's friends would be thrown
into Tug river; would meet with a
warm reception" and other inham-
matory utterances calculated to rouse
and infame the partisans on both
sides. And trouble came, but not un .
til after a amajority of the forty Cald-
well delegates, which were a ma.
jority of the convention, from
Wayne, Mingo and Wyoming coun-
ties, had presented y proposition n
which was calculated to harmonic
The warning factions. The PROPOSE
tion which will be found below was
made lin the interest Of harmony,
for the best interest Of the Republi-
can party and made with the inten.
tion of saving what may be the
defeat Of the party in the electi on
this fall, in this district. Every
thing that was fair, honorable and
just was embodied in the proposition
which was presented to Edgar p.
Rucker, leader of the Scott forces.
and w. b. Payne, r. r. Smith,
Bob Bernheim and others of Mr..
Bucker's lieutenants who were with
him at the time. 1t was presented
by committee, composed Of dele
gates from the other three counties.
1t was rejected without considera-
tiOn and with scorn. The PROPOSE
tion is as follows:
General Edgar p. Rucker,
Welch, w. Va.
Sir:-In view of the fact that the
Mcdowell County District mass
conventions were held without Civ
ing any public notice to the voters
of said county, and that the friends
of j. l.. Caldwell, of Cabell county,

the continuation of his we'll de-
fined policies is still giving to our
people contentment, prosperity
and happiness,
We believe that under the leader
ship and management of our Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt - the
cardinal principles of Republican
ism as taught and cherished by
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley,
will be sacredly guarded. We con
gratulate ourselves in the fact that
the way pointed out by President
Mckinley is being aggressively
pursued by his worthy successor and
his trusted oounselors. We have
implicit confidence in the policy
inaugurated by the Republican
party, and with n full measure of
faith in the ability of the present
Republican administration to
successfully administer our COVER
mental affairs, we bid them God
speed in their aggressive, courage
GUS and patriot" efforts for the
betterment of civilization and the
uplifting of humanity.
