STATE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION MEETS
OLD CONFEDERATE VETERANS HONORED
BY CONVENTION.
A Perfectly Harmonious MeGtng-FirSt
Ever Adjourned Before Night-fll!---
Senator TilIman As Senator NOmi-
nally Endorsed.

Special: The State Democratic
Convention was called to order
Wednesday morning by General
Willie Jones. DR.. S. M. Smith
pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church, led in prayer,
after which the whole conven-
ton joined him in the Lord S
Prayer,
The roll call of delegates en-
sued and all corrections were
made. Then a temporary chair
man was elected, Hon. Robert
Aldrich, of Barnwell an old sol
der being given this honor. AL
drich acknowledged this honor in
very appropriate and pretty
speech.
The regular business began by
the election of permanent pres
ident, Mr.. J. VIM. Thurmond, of
Edgefield, also a veteran of the
the prevalent spirit of the Whole
convention to do honor to those
who had worn the gray and who
IN spirit still wear the gray. Mr..
Thurmond on assuming his office
made a stirring speech to his
comrades and friends, declaring
himself a democrat always and
for all time a white mans dem
ocrat. He congratulated South
Carolina and the whole South on
the remarkable progress made
since the days of '65 those davs
that were terrible in not only
material but civic affairs.
Then followed the election of
vice presidents. One vice presi-
dent is always elected from each
district, making seven in all. The
following were elected and in the
order shows the district.
H. B. Tindal, D. S. Henderson,
F: B. Gary, T. S. Sease, j. d.
richards, w. f. James, r. ID.
Lee: AS secretaries, Messrs.
Parks and Gray were elected.
Mr.. L. G. Hames was elected
treasurer. Then committees
were elected and all resolutions
referred to these.
The committees presented the
following resolutions to the con-
vention which were adopted !
unanimously and with very little
debate.
On motion the course of Sena- |
tor B. R. Tillman was commend
ed. 1t was motion however en-
dorsing Tillman as Senator on
ly. The dispensary issue was not
touched upon at all; had it been
according to all reports there |,
would have beeu the hottest dis
cussion ever heard in the capital
of South Carolina.
Every discussion was on a high
plain, without bitterness and al
together harmonious. This con-
vention was distinctive for the
facts that it was entirely harmo-
NOUS, and adjourned at six
o clock, making a session of only
three hours.
This was the first State con-
Ventlon your correspondent ever
attended, consequently he was
all attention. Several matters
were impressed upon him.
First: the lack of order in the
meeting. While everything is
carried on according to parlia-
nentary usage, still so much
,alking and confusion was allow
ed as to at least mar the appear
ance of the meeting. This lack .
of order destroys the dignity of |
me proceedings. College bows

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

Every state should have an or
ganization Of. fish and oyster pro-
ducers. Each state should send a
delegate to national convention to
protect the industry. throughout the
country. An oyster convention is to be
held in Elizabeth City, N. c., in the
near future for the good of the bust
ness, including propagation, catching
and distribution. Fishing Gazette.
Several of the Baltimore wholesale
fish dealers have recently received small
consignments of Florida shad. The
quality was not of the best. They sold
for figures under the prices prime quail
ity would have brought. Receipts of
Florida shad will increase after Janu-
airy l. and during January and Febru-
airy large quantities will be received.
The shad will gradually work up the
Atlantic coast to North Carolina and
Virginia, and about the middle of
March the much-desired bay shad viii
begin to arrive. April will be the big
month for bay shad.
We have received copy of the Oys-
ter Laws of Virginia and they are,
we think, the best obtainable in our
state at this time. We do not know
that there will be any legislation this
year for the betterment of our condi-
tons. The general impression is that
we have law enough, what we need is
the proper enforcement of what we
have. The present Board of Fisheries
are doing all in their power to take
care of their end of the matter, and
have good degree OF success In the
same. The Oysterman.

MANY Northern and Southern
Democrats seem heartily in favor of a
southern man for President next
time, and are turning their eyes to-
wards Virginia's warrior and states
man, Jno. W. Daniel. The move is
in the right direction. A southern
man would be no easier to defeat
than northern or western Demo-
crat, and why not start a move that
must begin sooner or later, and at
some time and in success? The

ALL doubt has now been dispelled
that Virginia's Exposition will be
the greatest ever held in America,
and may surpass the famous Paris
Exposition, certainly in point of
numbers in attendance. Norfolk
and vicinity is becoming overwhelmed
with the stupendousness of the af-
fair. Though scores of big hotels
and hundreds of smaller houses of
entertainment are in course of con-
struction or in contemplation, it is
estimated that on any particularly
big day there will be ten thousand
people forced to sleep on the streets.
But for the thousands of craft that
will anchor in Hampton Roads and
vicinity, and will entertain many
people, it would hardly be possible
to properly care for all the people
during probably four or five months
of the Exposition period. Iuciden-
tally, it is this very water feature that
is going to make ours the greatest of
all expositions. In one sense we are
next door to travelling Europe.

on the Atlantic coast, bordes of PEG.
