The Coming State Democratic Convention.

Columbia, S. c., March 20 This is the
year for complete reorganization of the
Democratic party. The State Executive
Committee called the State Convention
to meet in Columbia on the third We'd
nesday in May, as required by the Con-
stitution of the Democratic party. This
convention is composed of delegates
from the various counties, selected on
the first Monday in May by the County
Conventions, each county being entitled
to number OF delegates double the
number Of representatives in the General
Assembly. The local clubs meet on the
fourth Saturday, in April to organize and
elect delegates to the County Convention,
each club being entitled to one delegate
for each twenty delegates or fraction
thereof. Each County Convention elects
member of the State Executive Com
mittee. The State Convention elects a
member of the National Executive Com
mittee and delegates to the National
Convention at st. Louis.
There is some talk as to who will be
elected as the "big four to the National
Convention. Senator Tillman aud Gen
Willie Jones are suggested. 1t is not
certain that Governor Hayward will
allow his name to go before the Conven-
ton. Each Congressional District selects
two members. Gen. Willie Jones will
probably stand for reelection as Chair
man of tire State Democratic Executive
Committee. Ex-Governor M. B. Nc
Sweeney will probably preside as Chair
man of the Convention. 1t seems to be
the policy to select some one who is not
q candidate for office, and Governor Nc
Sweeney, having large experience as a
presiding officer, it is argued by his
friends, qualities him for tho position.
Col. II. G.. Hamer will stand for election
as one of tho two secretaries.

Big Fire In Wall Street.

New York, March 26.--All Wall street
and the down town section of New York
was thrown into unusual excitement by
the most spectacular fire seen in tho day
time for a great while. The fire started
in the building at No. 81 Broadway, oc-
cupied by the Morris, European and
American Express companies.
Close after a fire alarm followed "two
nine," the dreaded general alarm. Great
crowds filed the streets and impeded
the engines and other fire fighting ap-
paratus. Five hundred reserve police
were called out to aid the firemen.
Broadway was blocked by cars for a
mile both ways,
Before tho streams were turned on the
flames the fire was spreading both ways,
north and south. Fifty companies were
at work, some coming from Harlem.
The horses were white with lather from
their eight mile run. Trinity church,
just north of the fire, was crowded with
spectators, who overran the ancient
graves aud tombs.
The loss is about 100000. The fire ia
said to have started in the "Old Hoss"
junk room at No. OF Broadway, and fed
largely on trunks and baggage.

WE had occasion to visit Fair Play
during the past week, and were pleased
to note the signs of progress on every
hand. The improvements in farms and
dwelling houses are especially remarka-
BILE. We recall counting between Fair
Play and the Southern Railway ten new
residences, three more with substarti tial
repairs, two new barns and two black
smith shops, all built this winter and
spring. Several of the houses would
range in cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
More land is being cleared and brought
into cultivation. Large fields are being
thoroughly prepared for this years crops
If any one has doubt as to the substan-
tial and permanent development now
being made in Oconee just let him ride
Is or 20 miles in any direction from Wal
halla Court House and his doubts will be
removed. We have one of the very best
counties in South Carolina and there is
no rubbing it out All that is needed is
proper development of natural resources,
and this is being made much faster than
some people imagine.

Proper Treatment OF Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for any one to attempt to doctor himself
although he may have the proper
remedies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t shOrld be borne in
mind. however, that pneumonia always
results from cold or from an attack Of
the grip, and that by giving Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy the threatened
attack of pneumonia may be warded off.
This remedy is also used by physicians
in the treatment of pneumonia with the
best results. DIR. w. j. Smith, of Sanders
Ala, who is also druggist, says of it.:
II have been selling Chambcrlain's
Cough Remedy aud prescribing it in my
practice for the past six years. | use it
In cases of pneumonia and have always
gotten the best results" Sold by }. w.

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus-
tion due to coughing the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup liberally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to warmer cline, you
VIII find that or the thousands of CON
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
fitted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottles, 25c
regular size, 75c. j. Fl. Darby, Walhalla,

BEST TOWN IN UPPER SOUTH CAROLINA.

Where is itp That depends very much
upon. who answers the question. The
Kaowee Courier says:
"Walhalla Is one of the best towns in
upper South Carolina. She is fifty-four
years old and getting better every day.
Ia fact, Walhalla is the town of the
Piedmont"
We commend The Courier for the stand
1t takes for Walhalla. The newspaper or
man who does not speak ont for his own
town ought not live in 1t. The best thing
for him and his town is to move to som Q
other place, and to keep on moving until
he gets to the place that he thinks the
best and for which he is willing to do all
that he possibly can.
Walhalla is good town. 1t has as
fine climate as can be found anywhere,
and 1t has lot of good people, and most
excellent newspaper, which has done a
great deal to advance its material and
moral wolfare. just such talk as The
Courier is doing goes long ways toward
Inspiring hope at home and confidence
abroad. We lift our hat to Walhalla and
to The Keowee Courier, but we beg to
inform our contemporary that Greenwood
Is in upper South Carolina, and tnat she
is in the Piedmont, too. In fact, we
believe that Greenwood is the town of
the Piedmont, and the best town in South
Carolina. We put Greenwood at the
head of the class, but we are perfectly
willing for Walhalla to stand next. Here
Is our hand, brother Courier! Come
down and let us talk it over.-Green-
wood journal.
Ever since we staked the claim for
Walhalla as "the town of the Piedmont"
our friends in various sections have been
calling on us to "hand it over" Don't,
gentlemen, please; we like to be gener-
Gus, but really the best we can do is to
divide with you. The Journal says that
Greenwood is at the head of the list, but
is "willing for Walhalla to stand next"
The only way we can get together on that
proposition is by compromise. Both
towns are in the same State; that's a
stand-off. Both are in the Piedmont,
the best section of the State, but Wal
halla is farther in than Greenwood; that's
one point scored for Walhalla. Both are
the best of towns, but Greenwood is larger
than Walhal]a; that's point scored for
G Greenwood, and puts the two on an
equal footing, basing our calculations on
the point system. How about it, neigh
