Mr.. Blease, in seconding the resolu-
tions upon the death of Mr.. Boyd, said
that the people of Newberry County
knew his worth, knew his merit, had hon
ored him with one of the most important
Offices within their gift, and there was
little for him to say. He also seconded
the resolutions on the death of Wade
Hampton, and he hoped that the resolu-
tions on the death of these two men
one giving his services and his lite
to the county, the other giving his
life and his all to his State, would be
adopted by rising vote, and the young
democracy and the old democracy would
clasp hands in remembrance of the ser
vices of Calhoun F. Boyd and Wade
Hampton.
Mr.. Schumpert spoke eloquently in
seconding the resolutions upon the death
of Mr.. Croner, saving that the people of
Newberry County had all known him and
had all loved him He also spoke Of the
resolutions upon the death of Mr.. Boyd
and Gov. Hampton.
Mr.. Johnstone said that he had known
Mr. Bovd in every walk Of life. He had
also known Mr. Cromer since 1876, and
he knew his heroisn, his perseverance,
his uprightness in every walk of life, and
the patience with which he bore the fell
disease which caused his death.
The resolutions were then each unanl-
mously adopted by rising vote.
The convention then adjourned.

ALARCE SUM ALREADY
Norfolk Has Contributed the
Sum of 100000 for James
town Exposition.

Among the arrivals in the city last
night was Mr.. D. Lowenberg, of Norfolk,
one of that city's most successful busl-
ness-men. Mr.. Lowenberg is director
general of the Jamestown Exposition
Company, and is devoting almost his en-
tire time to that enterprise. to the sacrl-
flee of his private interests. His judg-
ment is universally respected in all busi-
ness matters and enterprises in Norfolk.
and he is always prompt to enlist In
any movement that he conceives to be
for the welfare and development OF that
city and section. in whose vast advan-
tages and possibilities he has an abiding
faith.
Mr. Gwynn T. Shepperd, of the same
city the secretary of the exposition
company also arrived in the city yester-
day. The presence Of these two gentle
men here is not significant of any new
movement, they being in the city merely
to confer with the friends of that enter
prise here. Accompa anying them was Mr..
a. w. Cornich, one of the best known
real estate agents and business men
of Norfolk. All these gentlemen are
| earnestly interested in the unqualified
| success of the exposition movement. So
| are the people of Norfolk generally. AS
| an evidence of that faith in the enter
| prise and one more substantial than mere
words it may be added that already the
people OF That city nave raised S2OO.UU0
| Of the s1000.000 they propose to raise.
| They do not ask the State to pay a cent
out of the treasury until they have raised
| the entire sum guaranteed. There is en-
| tire confidence in the ability of the city
! and section interested most to raise the
sum pledged. The friends of the measure
I are quietly confident that the State will
! do it's full share in contributing to the
| success of this State enterprise, and they
| base their confidence on an appreciation
! of the business sagacity of the Virginia
| people. Mr.. Lowenberg. whose Judgment
| in the matter of investments has always
| borne golden fruit. expressed the opinion
! last night that the appropriation of
money to Jamestown Exposition was an
investment that would pay handsome re-
! turns. The bill will not be pressed at this
| time. but will come up after the holidays.
| 1t has been drawn and is now in possess
! sion of one Of the members of the House.
| 4 great mass-meeting will be held at the
| Academy of Music in Norfolk next Mon
day night in the interest Of the expo
| sition. Governor Montague and others

Senator Pritchard called on the Presi-s
dent to-day, relative to several Nortn
Carolina places. He recommended the
nomination ofW. B. Steele as postmaster
at High Point, N. c., to I'LL a..vacancy
caused by the death of the postmaster.
and laid before the President the name
of Daniel W. Patrick as collector or
customs at Newbern. N c.. to succeed
Mayor Hahn, the incumbent. Senator
Pritchard did not bring up the case or
Postmaster Wick, at Wilson, NC which
is still pending Senator A>rttchard went
from the White House to hospital TO
undergo an operation. and it is prooaote
that he will not be able to return 70 ms
seat in the Senate until after the Christ
mas holidays.
1t is regarded as probable that both
of the names put before the President by
Mr.. Pritchard to-day will be sent to the
Senate by the President. Mayer Hahn,
would like to succeed himself as collector
at Newbern. but MIR. Patrick. who has
been named for the place, Is a man or
such high standing that no successful
fight could be made on him. it is said
Pritchnrd,. Change of Front.
Senator Pritchard was standing at the
White House door when Senator Quay,
of Pennsylvania. walked out
well. how are the lilly whites? ask
ed the Pennsylvania senator.
'In splendid shape answered the
North Carolina senator.
What do you think now about repre-
sentation in the next national conven-
tion?" asked Senator Quay.
''Well, am going to support any effort
to reduce the representation of the South
ern States in the national conventions
according to the vote polled by them.
said Senator Pritchard. Il believe that Is
the only fair method. and I am for .t.
Let the representation be according to
the Republican vote polled.'
Il am with you." said Senator Quay,
"and am glad you have taken that posi-
tion at last"
The statement Of Senator Pritchard
was somewhat of a surprise. Heretofore
southern Republicans have unanimously
opposed the reduction of the represen.
tation in conventions. and the change OF
sentiment by so influential Republican
of the South will cause CONSERVATION II
the ranks of the party In that section.
Il do not favor cutting down the re
presentation of the South in Congress-

leve Congress has the right to do tha
