THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
There were not many of the unterri
fled in the county democratic conven
tion that met in toe oourt house on
Monday of this week, but enough of
respectability and calibre to make up
for the paucity in numbers.
M. P. Wells, Esq., was elected tem
porary chairman and performed the !
duties of presiding officer of the con- !
vention with much credit to himself
and to the entire satisfaction of the
convention.
Tillman R. Denny was elected
county chairman ; P. N. Lott, 1st vice
chairman; H. C. Watson, 2nd vice
president; S. M. Smith, secretary and
treasurer.
In accordance with the sentiment of
the delegates, and the county at large
as well, Col. J. H. Tillman introduced
the following resolutions, which we
might denominate "resolutions of fra
ternization"; inasmuch as they are
eminently brotherly in their scope and
intent and mean a putting away of
factional strife and bickering, we hope
for all time to come.
COL. TILLMAN'S RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, it is the desire of this con
vention that all factionalism be
buried; and, having an earnest desire
to reunite the democracy of the coun
ty, therefore, be it resolved
^st. That those factions heretofore
existing, known as reformers and con
servatives be each allowed four ?vle
gatee to the State democratic Conven
tion..
2nd. That the county chairmanship
be given to a conservative and the
pfllpe of State executive cpinmitteeman
to a reformer.
'?rd. That a committee of three from
[each faction be appointed by the chair
to suggest to the convention the names
of delegates to be elected to tbe State
democratic convention, the chairman
of this con ven vention tobe also a mem
ber of the State democratic committee.
The committee selected the follow
ing delegates to represent Edgelield
democracy in the State convention :
M. P. Wells, L. J. Williams,
J. C. Sheppard, A. E Padgett,
U. C. Fuller, W.P. rimmerman,
John Briggs, J. H. Tillman.
These gentlemen were unanimously
elected;
L. J. 'Williams was elected State ex
ecutive committeeman, and T. R.
Denny chairman county executive
committee.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
-
"How long will .the war with
Spain last" is a questiou often
asked and almost as often answer
ed ; nod yet no one knows or can
know. The latest answer is from
Judge Tom Mackey, formerly of
this State. Here are his predic
ations:
'I thiuk that our war with
Spain will ,extend over a period
of three or lour years, and possibly
much longer. To achieve final
victory we will be forced to laud
an army on Spanish soil, aud that
will bring on the greatest battle in
the annal? of history. A quarter of
a million of men will be engaged
on either side. The taking of Cuba
and Porto Rico instead of mark
ing the termination of the struggle,
will only be its iuceptiou, and the
enemy is wise enough to haye
discounted the loss of this terri
tory. Spain has a population of
19,000,000, aud is a warlike race.
Uuless we administer a crushing
blow on their own soil they will
not stop fighting for the next
thirty years." Bah !
To Arms Ye Brave! Who Knsh
to Glory.
At a meeting of the Edgefield
Rifles on Monday night, May 2nd,
the following preamble and
resolution was adopted, with only
one dissenting vote.
Whereas, the Governor of this
State has issued a proclamtion
calling on the state militia to
volunteer thoir services in the
present war between this country
and Spain, and, where as this a
part of the regular organized
militia of the State and as such,
the Edgefield Rifles feel it to be
their patriotic duty to recruit their
ranks up to the required number
eo that they may tender their
services through the Governor of
this State to the United States for
whatever service in whatever field
the government aiay see fit to
assign them :
Resolved therefore, that the
Captain of the Edgefield Rifles be
authorized and hereby is authoriz
ed to open a recruiting office and
to aooept reoruils, who ore willing
to volunteer for servica uutil the
total membership reaches the
number required by the army re
gulations to constitute a- company
and thus entitle this company to
be accepted into the service of the
United States, with its present
organization ;
Resolved further that the Cap
tain appoint a committee of three
members to prep?re a notice to bu
published in all the county papers
at their next issue, setting forth
the desire of this company to se
cure recruits under the above mon
tionpd conditions.
To tho Citizens of Edgefield
County :
We the undersigned the com
mitee appointed iu accordance
with the foregoing resolution, hope
that a sufficient number of the
citizens of Edgefield County will
respond to this call, so that Edge
field may be represented iu the
volunteer army of the United
States.
We all take priJe in being sons
of old Edgefield, because she. has
made a record in the past that is au
honor to her country ; her citizens
have always been loyal in peace
and brave in battle, and in every
war that we have ever had, in
every emeigency when necessary,
she has cous> crated the blood of
her sons to her country's cause,
and we hope that she will now
contribute her share to the further
honor and glory of our country,
and maintain her proud prestige
of the past.

GEN. HAMPTON SPEAKS.
Gen. Hampton, at a meeting of
the Confederate veterans of South
Carolina iu Charleston last week, ]
spoke and caused the wildest en- <
thusiasm by the following refer '
euee to the war with Spain : 1
"My Old Comrades-We know ,
what war is. I clo r ot hesitate to |
say that I regret the one upon (
which weare now entering. But 1
you are South Carolinians; you \
are sons of the men who have shed ,
immortal glory on the Palmetto ,
flag in the past, and I would rather (
''ie than think that South Caro-11
liua would not respond to the cal"1 j
made upon her for volunteers. ]
And old asl am, I can still ride ]
on horseback and wield a sword; j
and if her quota is not filled, if
there is one name lacking to make i
ii full, I myself will volunteer. .
This is our country and it is our
duty to make it the champion of \
freedom for all time to come.'.' i

The Johnston Institute.
THERE are schools and schools, but there are some reasons why you should
patronize the Johnston Institute:
1st.-Johnston is a healthful location, on the famous "Ridge," which com
prises portions of Aiken, Edgelield, Lexington and Saluda Counties. It
is absolutely free from malaria. The same diurnal range of temperature
as Santa Barbara, Cal.
2nd.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar
rooms or vicious company to degrade the students.
?rd.-The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for
young men and Rebecca Motte Hall for young: ladies. In these Halls the
students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their
studies.
4th.-The Institute is conducted on a Mi litary basis. Boys are permitted, but
not required, to wear uniforms. This uniform is cheap, handsome and
durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until
he first learns to obey well.
5th.-Our course of study is thorough, practical and progressive. We flt stu
dents for life, as College Diplomas are issued to those who deserve them,
6th.-We have Special Departments offering superior instructions in Book
keeping, Painting and Music. Call and see the character of work done.
Our rooms are open to inspection.
7tb.-We have a big school. There is somethingJstiCiUlatingand in spiling about
large schools, because children learn not only from books but by ab
sorption.
Sth.-We have eleven teachers, S. M. Martin, John Lake, A. J. Reamy, C. C.
Herbert, Misa A. S. Arnold, Miss Sophie Swearingen, Mrs. L. C.Latimer,
Miss Sue Sloan, Mrs. S. S. Cobb, Mrs. J. H. White, Mrs. A. J. Reamy. We
will add more if necessary.
9th.-Our School is under Christian influence, but strictly unsectarian. No
narrow denominational lines are drawn.
10th.-We are giving the best possible education at the least possible cost.
The Institute is the school for the people. Board and tuition from $10
to $19 per month, according to grade. Provisions taken in payment of
board. Students received at any time. For further information address
