crater is now about a mile around and

FURTI-EIGHT. YEARS AGO.
Col. Robt. A Thompson Still Active
In Public Affairs.

columbia Cor. News and Courier. }
Forty-eight years ago there was a
convention in Columbia that made
tolks take notice. 1t was the con-
Vention that passed the Ordinance of
Secession-the prelude of the war
for Southern independence. The
men in that convention were leaders.
One. of the delegates to that conyen-
ton was Col. r.. A. Thompson, and
his name Is signed to the memora-
Die ordinance. To-day he lives to
see his name carved on the marble
tablet In the State House commemo-
ratiVe of that event. Col. Thomp-
son then, as now, was a factor IL
State affairs. The mere mention of
the date Of the Secession Conyen-
ton, 1850, would indicate that Col.
Thompson had enjoyed many years
or life, but he Is as lively and happy
as ever. Last night when met him
on Main street he had no umbrella.
although 1T was raining, and the rain
gave him no concern. He Is no free
silverite, but he thinks a'"whole lot"
of Bryan, and that the people want
Bryan, and, in his opinion, Bryan is
strong with the masses. Col. Thomp-
son said he was sincerely sorry that
Major Hemphill had not come to the
convention, as he was delegate.
The convention honored him by
eiect1ng him as one of its vice ,presi-
dents.

 Governor Glenn said
 While I am always glad to well come any commission to the state that has for it's object the betterment of the health and the improvement of our people, I do not believe that the com ing of such commissions tend to do any good when the statements made by them are in direct conflict with true conditions and are given out without any thorough investigation by actual visitations among the people"
