Staff Correspondence Atlanta Journal.
Columbia, S. c., May 16-"The action
and general course of the convention will
strengthen me before the people Of South

with respect to the state convention, which
met here yesterday.
The convention was composed OF 272
supporters Of Judge Ira B. Jones, candi-
date for governor to &c supporters OF Gov
ernor Blease, and defeated the governor
for delegate at large to .the national con-
vention, thus breaking custom Of long
standing of including the governor in the
delegation at large.
II am satisfied with what they did" con-
tinued the governor. when they did not
restrict the vote in the primary and didn't
abolish the county to county campaign,
l went to bed happy. Those are the only
two things they could have done that
would have hurt me-"
And you may say that / am going to
be reelected governor, Notwithstanding
the fact that I hear they are boasting Of
the thousands Of dollars they are going to
spend to defeat me and failing in that, Of
their hopes of counting me out.
Governor Blease sat in his place in the
Newberry county delegation throughout
the proceedings Of the state convention,
but took no part in them and made no
speech Of any kind.

market facilities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, First: That the State Demo
Cratic Convention hereby places on record
its hearty approval Of this measure, con-
graduates the Farmers union upon bring
ing it forward and securing its enact
ment, and commends the legislature for
taking this advanced step toward emanci-
pating the producers Of the wealth OF the
State from.the domination Of predatory
interests that fatten alike on producers
and consumers.
Second: That we commend the Far
mers' union for it's activities in trying to
establish in our institutions Of learning
departments for the study of farm, f.
nance and markets and for its effort to
improve the rural schools Of the State

great organization and make Of it still
more potent force in building up all the
interests of our State.
Third: Representing as we do all the
great industries of the State, we deem 1t
not only appropriate but Of great import
ance that we .recede for a few moments
from the business that has brought us to-
gether to give expression to our hearty
approval Of these measures, that mean
more to the industrial development OF the
State than even the most sanguine imagi-
nation can picture"

the act was amended to make the in
dorsement dependent upon its being de-
clared constitutional.
At meeting Of the executive commit
tee, held after the adjournment OF the con-
vention, Hon. John Gary Evans, of Spar
