'The first contest of the convention cams ovor ths plank In the platform to exempt $2p0 Instead of 2i worth of personal property from taxation jftormer Senator Marlon.

Adams and Duncan, stood by the plank and It was adopted with the rest of the platform., Senator Butler attacked the plank on local : self-govern ment and orfered a substitute which left' the people to Infer that the Re publicans considered ths liquor ques tlon, unsettled. This proposition was also defeated, Mr. Butler's resolution elng lost by a. vote f J70 to 271. These fights were Interesting in that . 1. - U . at . , . nicy lugiio mo way ina wina was blowing. It Is well known that Chairman Adams and Senator Butler belong to different factions In the Re publican camp. These factions have been warring for - some time. Two years ago when Mr. Butler was a fresh recruit, he did not enter the convention hall . lest his presence cause trouble as he had not proven bis stewardship. But yesterday Mr. Butler appeared and was greeted with cheers from a large sprinkling of dele gates. - It was evident that he had a good following in the convention. But ths will of the organization leader prevailed; the former Populist leader .was beaten at every turn In the road.' The treatment accorded Mr. Thom as Settle by the convention was Indi cative of a change In sentiment to ward that gentleman, who hs regain ing Ms old-time popularity. Every time his ' name was" mentioned the boys yelled His, nomination for Elector-At-Larjre met with the ap proval of almost everybody. He was given quite an ovation after the con vention adjourned when located by Ms friends. - TICKET A SPLENDID OXE. When Mr.- Duncsn arrived here he said that the Republicans would put out a ticket that would attract all clssses. He said that a business man would be namod for: Governor. . It Was said yesterday after all was over thst he had predicted well. There Is no better busineaa man 4n the State thsn Mr. Cox. Mr. Settle -was for the same sort of candidate.

Whether Augusta wJU toe able to care for the situation among the poor and unemployed will not be known until the water further recedes and opportunity Is given for inspection. ' The flood expanse covers an immense territory, miles of water extending from the foot of the Car olina hills to the south into Georgia, The loss to farms, farm lands, crops and live stock in the valley Is not In cluded In the figures given above. The bottom , cotton and swamp corn, an Immense annual product, is mined. To-night is a night of tension. Re ports of missing men, even of missing families are being repeated from man to man.

V". v-: Reviewing the loss a dozen promi nent cltlsens. In the Albion Hotel to night put the municipal loss at $350. 000. .; The loss to merchants in 118$ wss 1100.000. This time it can be no lesa The loss on cotton is not severe, only 1,600 bales being reported water dam aged. The loss to freight in depots Is 150,000. The loss to railroad termi nals will not be more than $200,000. Including the loss of the Southern bridge.- This tjrldge was to have been torn away and does ' not affect tha Southern service. The consequent loss of the shutting down' of t&e big cotton muts ana other industries can only be conjectured. The loss of farming Interests up and down the valley Is neany a matter of guess at this time. EDITOR GRIST CANED. I . - . . .. ' 1 . k.Lln. I ... I. ... 1 . I AAnlrAl. in an Ih.v n.n.
