the morning session Of Friday, the re-
naming business was disposed of, and
the convocation was brought to close
by the usual services and addresses to
children. The weather was very In
clement, but the convocation itself was
characterized by the same vigor and
energy for which it is justly noted. The

Colonel Floyd For Congress.
Columbia State, Thursday: While it
has been current in political circles for
several months past that Adjutant
General ]. w. Floyd would likely enter
the race for congress from this district
the Fifth-now represented by the
Hon. D. E. Finley, nothing could be
definitely ascertained from Gen. Floyd
or his friends until yesterday, when a
representative Of The State, in response
to the inquiry if he would be candi-
date, received the following reply:
Yes, sir; I have positively determined
to make the race for congress. Before
the expiration Of my present term as
adjutant general every promise I made
the people when I entered the Office
will have been fulfilled, in that shall,
with the surrender Of my commission
turn over to the state her military de-
partment in thorough order and Or
ganization, and her volunteer troops
as completely armed and equipped as
the regular army. Thereupon rests my
conclusion to enter the race for con-
gress." General Floyd was one Of the
young soldiers Of the Confederate SER
vice. He was wounded five times dur
ing that war and lost his arm at the
battle Of Charlottesville. He resides
at Liberty Hill, in Kershaw county. He
was elected to the legislature in the
year 1894, and in the second session of
the term on the promotion of the Hon.
F. B. Gary to the speakership, General
Floyd was run for the Craftsmanship of
the ways and means committee, Of
which he was member, and was only
defeated for that important position by
a majority of one after "a ballots had
been cast. General Floyd was a men,
Der Of the constitutional convention and
chairman of the committee on mill
tary." He was sergeant at arms of the
senate for two years, and as such re-
Vived many Of the official customs of
ante-bellum days that added dignity to
that august body.
