inclined to popular demands have es- tablished representative forms of Gov ernment, which preserve only the semb- lance of the despotism of the middle ages, in reality the people rule. Rus sia alone has been able to preserve in- tact the cruel despotism~-the complete disregard of the rights of man that prevailed in the centuries that are gone She stands alone-the only nation that had apparently been able to stand out against the onward march of human progress and human liberty.
 Under her monotonous, virulent des- potism, under the ashes of the ruined homes, under the blood of the murdered women and children which stains the pavements of her cities, under the dis. mantled barricades in her streets, there are hidden the various form of national development. From the ashes of ruin- ed hopes and ambitions, from sacrifices of splendid patriotism, from the blood of the martyrs, a new Russia is about to brst forth and to contend for a place to burst forth and to contend for a place among the free governments of the earth.
 There is contained within her 150.- 900, ,000 of population many conflicting races of men. In times of national peril 1t has been the policy of the gov ernment 10 lnIlame Soclal preJudlceS and incite whole sections of the popu- lation against each other, in this way diverting attention from the central government, and so, in the opening years of this. the greatest of all cen turtles, the grand dukes and their fol- lowers who support the tottering throne of Romanoffs have resorted to the old methods and their time they are inflaming the populace against the helpless Jews-and already the blood of a hundred thousand Jews cries out for vengeance"
 MT. Moon (Tenn), Mir. Goldfogle, Judge Stafford and Rev. Dr. Mcleod, of this city, also spoke.
 The resolutions endorse the Sulzer resolutions introduced in the House in protest against the outrages and voice the allegation made by Mir. Sulzer to- night as to the atrocities being con- nived at by the Russian government.

Some Big Oysters.

St. Nicholas.
 The usual size of the shell of an oyster is three to five inches, but away back in the Tertiary times there were oysters in California that had shells thirteen inches long and seven or eight inches wide. The animal and shell doubtless weighed fifteen of twenty pound, since the shells were five inches thick. These oysters have long been extinct, but their fossil shells arc abundant. If the oyster farmer could produce individuals of such enormous size now, and the flavor were good in proportion to its size. we would be most fortunate. In that case a single oyster would be enough for one stew at the church festival

that l will attend none of the
State campaign meetings, unless

Instead | give notice that after

in the month which | will devote
to this work. l have no objection
and will welcome the presence of
such other officials and candi-
dates as my friends may see fit
to invite.
A moments reflection will
show that the programme now
being carried out of limited
speeches would be altogether to
my advantage, because Mr..
Lumpkin could never make much
of an impression in the limited
time which he can obtain. While
he thinks candidates for the SEN
ate should not discuss State
issues, | think very differently
and want to discuss them, but L
can do no good and will waste
lot OF valuable time, which had
rather devote to rest and recu
peration alter my hard winters
work, than follow the campaign
as it is being conducted. Mr..
Lumpkin will be at liberty to tell
the people all about national
issues that do not know, while
l will tell the people about State
affairs and how they have been
mismanaged and how they ought
to be reformed. At this time |
have only two engagements in
the State, one at Sandy Flat, in
Greenville county, on July Eth,
ana one at Elloree, In Orange
burg county, on July 18th, the
place where | made my second
