a man by the convention.
Mr.. Sturgeon fell in with this plan. In
fact it would have been folly for him
TO have tried for the equalization
board nomination-with anything short
Of a solid home delegation behind him.
The Moline delegates, while pretend
ing 10 be enthusiastically for Stur-
gecn. really had no interest beyond
landing Mr.. Deere. Had they remain
cd in the convention with u votes
they might have lost him. for they
would have been obliged To support
Sturgeon as against 6. J.. Peterson.

the impression TO the committee on

from this county. that both deleea-
tions. while apparently fighting for all

selves that half and half would be sat
isfactory. 1t is charged he had a
with Judge l.. Y. Sherman.
of Mcomb. who WAS claimed To be in
absolute control Of the situation. and
that they arrived at an understanding.
The message to the committee room
was delivered by George {. Rankin. of
Monmouth. Rankin got his Informal
ticn from sherman. Rankin protests
that he was entirely innocent: that IL
there was any soft shoe work on h
had no guilty knowledge of it. He had
been led To believe that there was All
effort 10 harmonic the Rock Island
county factions and as Il good republic
can he was happy OF the privilege of
e nveying the tidngs TO the credcn-
tials committee. which was practically
two for seating the Yates
delegation and two for the LOwdenites.
with the fifth member holding out.
When Rankin told the committee that
the seating of both delegations. split
ting The vote. was acceptable TO all,
II reported unanimously in
favor Of that plan.
There was an African i'm the wood
pile somewhere. and the Rock Island
LowGcn crowd would give great deal
to secure photograph of him.

For Hampton's Sake.

I Mrs. 3. G.. Clifford, of Union, S C.
corresponding Secretary of the South
Carolina Division, United Daughters of
the Confederacy, acting by order of the
| President Of the Division, has sect let
! ter TO the Superintendents of Public
Schools all over the State making an ap-
peal ia memory of Wade Hampton.
Mis-. Clifford says:
In order that the children of South
Carolina may take part in erecting the
monument to Gen. Wade Hampton, the
South Carolina Division, u. D. c., ear
nestiy request that you will ask each
pupil OF your school to contribute at
least one cent to the Monumental Fund
upon Memorial Day MAY 10) This
contribution will be known AS "The
Children's Memorial Day Offering. {"
Y ou will please receive it and forward
1t to the undersigned at your earliest
convenience.
A full report Of schools contributing
aud amounts received will be published
in the state papers,"
This letter has come to us will. the
request-''Pleasen notice this for Hamp-
tou's sake" Let us also notice it for
our own Sake. We cannot add one
cuhi' y" the s'atnie of Hampton by any,
thing that we could do or say; but we
can relieve ourselves from the charge of
forgetfulness and ingratitude by respond
ing to this and whatever cali may be
M, re in honor of Hampton. Every
school child in the State ought to con-
tribute the little mite asked by the
Daughters Of the Confederacy .for
lIamptOn's sake" and we have much
mistaken them if there is not a unani-
nous response on Memorial Day, Nav
l0. The colOred children should take a
PRACTICAL interest In this effort to build q
monument to one of their greatest bene-
factors, who spoke of them almost in
his last breath as my people, white and
black"
1t Is unnecessary, of course, to urge
the school superintendent to present the
rexnest Of the Daughters to the school
children under their care, and the tribute
OF the little ones on Memorial Day will
be one of the happiest and siDcerest ever
paid TO the great soldier and citizen
whose life ought to be an inspiration to
th, youth Of this State to the remotest
time.
We clip he above from the Charles
ton News apd Courier. The UNION
TIMES can add nothing to this fitting
and appropriate tribute and appeal. but
most earnestly endorse the sentiments
therein expressed.

dazzled some people, who can assign no
other reason for his support than his Law
ish distribution of his dollars.
