";?' Coluvbia,S ; Bept, 14. The eon-
stitutional Convention's proceeding
".:' to-day have been ot the greatest inter-
, est. The bid. family feeling existing
'; for to many years between the Butler
l and Gary families was brought tip is
the debate to-day, and George D. Till
man presented a euIoey on the Butler
family that was of each Interest and so
" Impassioned that the, large audience
' seemea ilo; nanir & " " -
convention has today decided, to esiab-
lish nonew counms. nve one. at
Tiding Edgflfld county . into t
counties. There was a lively
"fight- over the matter. Anotbei
. fight ensued over the naming. Finally
"Butler" was settled on as the name of
the new county: The convention Is
now to decide what shall be done about
the printing.
A vigorous effort was made to have
the printing go'to the lowest responsi
ble bidder, but it is maintained that O.
A. Calvo, State printer, is entitled to it,
and it looks as if he will get it.
Many new ordinances and resolutions
were introduced, one important one
preserving the right of trial by jury
for every offense.
The new county is to be named for
thevfamed Butler family of Edgefield of
which ex-Senator M. C. Butler is the
representative. The old antagonism
'between Generals Butler and Gary was
at the root of to-day's fight.- Congress-
' man George D. Tillman, in his speech,
held his hearers almost spell-bound and
old veterans shook his hand when he
'(wnMnded. He arjoeared as the cham
pion of the Butler family, notwith
standing the fact that his brother and
Senator Butler had such a bitter fight
for the Senate last summer. Ben Till
man was not in the ball at tbe time.
Among other things, he said: "But
some people from miserable preju
dice object to the naming of this coun
ty Butler.' God pity them!" He then
referred to General M. C. Butler, and
ivioted with oride to his record on
the battle-field, in the United States
Senate, and in every walk of life. Yet
now there is a prejudice against him.
One thing the matter with these peo
ple who attack him was that he could
cot get office for all those who hound
ed him for patronage like hungry dogs
after a rabbit. For two years Mr. Till
man was in Washington as a hermaph
brodite member of Congress, waiting to
get in before he became a regular mem
ber. He knew Galbraith Butler, and
if the man ever did anything dishon
orable or dishonest he never heard of
it "I hope (with deliberation)
that South Carolina will always have
Senators there bearing equal reputations
for honesty and oratory. I am afraid,
be paused for a moment or two, "I am
afraid that there will be some time be
fore there will be his superior, even his
equal there." Mr. Tillman then stated
that he had been shocked to see an edi
torial in the Columbia Register that
morning a brutal and ignorant edito
rial on this matter of the Butler came.
"I am ashamed," said he, "that men
live in South Carolina who can do this."
In all this mass of unfounded prejudice
it seemed strange for him to stand there
and tell tbe eentit-men of that conven
tion of lie distinguished name he whs
advocating. It whs confounded preju
dice, uniust ireiudicf1.
The conveutjou awarded the on net
for all its prim I og to Cbas. A. Calvo,
State printer. depi'e the fct that other
bidders offer, d to do it fur from 10 to 50
per ce t. less.
Miller in reduced another ordinance
looking o the referring of the constitu
tion back to the people it raiincaiion.
-Mr. Palton introduced the following
to prevent men from being sent to the
penitentiary under the dispensary law
without a trial:
"The right of trial by jury as it ex
isted at the foundation of this govern
ment shall remain forever inviolate and
no person shallbe punished under cov
er of proceedings for contempt of in
junction or other civil process or in any
other manner, for the doijg of any act
which by the law of the land consti
tutes a erime, except upon convictions
thereof by process of law before a
jury of his peers."
Mr. Garris introduced an ordinance
providing for the appointment of a la
bor commissioner.
Congressman Stanyarne Wilson to
day presented the following important
ordinance:
s "Whereas, Bv the nature of their
avocation, the great body of wage-earn
era are at a great disadvantage in the
protection of their rights of person and
property, and the supervision and
friendly hand of the government is
needful in order that the conditions of
labor may be known, evils disclosed
and the cause of their existence dis
covered and the proper remedies for
their removal applied, a healthy system
of labor secured and the interest of the
laboring classes advanced: be it
"Resolved. That the General Assem
bly, at its first session after the ad op
tion of this constitution, shall create
and provide for the establishment and
maintenance of a State bureau of labor
. statistics, which shall be under the
charge of the commissioner of labor
statistics, who shall be appointed by
the Governor, by and with tbe advice
and consent of the Senate, and, and it
shall also prescr.be his term of office,
powers, duties and compensation; and
succeeding General Assemblies shall
provide for the further maintenance
thereof, with powers of amending such
original act and amendment thereof."
Mr. McWhite introduced a strong or
dinance looking to the prevention of
oraciaia from accepting bribes for any
public acts.

; Statestoxk, i Sept." 14. The "well
known and trustworthy firm of Wallace
Bros., who have been doing business in
this' City since : 1S59, paying dollar for
dollar and enjoying the finest business
credit of any firm in the State, made an
assignment to-dav for the benefit of
their creditors. -.--v',. -
- Bni. P. long is named as trustee and
A 'infield & Turner and Wm. M. Rob-
dins are the trustees' counsel.. .
It is unders'ood that the hard times
and pressure of certain creditortv.com
tx lied the firm to adopt this course so
as to treat all their cr-ditors fairly.
There is no preference of creditors;
uudr the present law there can be no
preferences, but everybody will see at a
glance that with Mr. Long as the
assignee, and with lifts above named at
torneys as his advisers, there can be no
doubt but that the property- assigned
will be disposed or or at least adminis
tered, to the best interest of all parties,
The amount of tbe indebtedness, as
well as the approximate amount of the
assets, while not known, will run up
over $200,000 certainly enough to pay
dollar for dollar.
. To a man who understands what it is
to bandle for 30 or 40 years a large busi
ness successfully with honor and Integ
rity stamped between tbe lines or every
paper that bears his name.with the seal
of a destructive business trust following
the foot-steps of the firm and each em
ploye, the following will sound cold
and dead, but here they are:
"This indenture "made this Septem
ber 14, 1895, between Isaac Wallace and
his wife. Francis Wallace: David Wal
lace and his wife, Amelia Wallace;
William Wallace and his wife, llora
Wallace, of Statesville, Iredell county,
N. C, parties of the first part,
and Ben. F. Long, Esq., of said
county and State, party of the sec
ond part, witnesseth that whereas the
said Isaac Wallace, David Wallace,
William Wallace, composing the firm
of Wallace Bros., of Statesville, N. C,
are indebted to divers persons in differ
ent sums of money, viz: To the
Merchants and Farmers National Bank,
Charlotte, N. C; to the H. B. Claflin
Co., New York; to the Cone Export Co.,
New York; and to others, and are not
at present able to pav and discharge all
their just debts in full, and they desire
to provide for the payment of their said
debts as far as in their power by an as
signment of all their property for that
purpose;
"Now therefore in consideration
of the premises, of the said in
debtedness and also of one dollar paid
to them by said party of the second
part, the receipt whereof is hereby
acknowled, the said parties of
the first part have granted, as
signed, bargained and sold, set over
and confirmed, aliened, released and
conveyed in fee, and by these 'presents
do grant, assign, bargain and sell; set
over and confirm, alien, release and con
vey in fee simple unto said party, of the
s cond part, his heirs, executors and as
signs all personal and real property of
the said firm."
Following I find the wholesale store
house; the root and herb emporium; the
vacant lot known as the old simonton
hotel lot property in the rear of tbe
hotel lot used as a beef market; the
house known as the Pi ok us root house;
Isaac Wallace, residence; David Wal
lace, residence; William Wallace, resi
dence; severa1 lots in Lenoir; much
farm land in Caldwell county, showing
an immense amount of real estate,
which should not be sacrificed under
the strain of bard times, and it is hoped
and believed that arrangements can be
made with the creditors by which the
firm can resume business. To stop as
big an enterprise as this all at once will
greatly injure the town. If they do not
resume business it will clog tbe in
dustry of the city half at least. There
fore everybody is anxious that arrange
ments may be made to resume business,
Mr. J. A. Davidson, who, while on t
drunken debauch, shot his wife re

yesterday, who put him under a peace
bond of 2,000 in one case; a bond of
$100 for appearance at court in a sec

I believe President Cleveland desires
to sell only $25,000,000 worth of bonds
now. while the syndicate wants the
issue to be at least i50.000.000. I know
nothing of the proposed terms, but
expect the announcement of the loan
will be made in a day or so. X do not
think tbe issue of more bonds will have
any effect on the general business. It

Cttf Opt of Our Entire Stock by January 1st, 1896.
The effect was wonderful. J It proves conclusively that the - people are on
the alert for bargains. That they are quick to see and take advantage of a good
thing. That In the struggle for existence they recognize economy as being the
sure road to success, and that they have a correct appreciation of the value of a
dollar. Therefore when they were told that they could buy their Winter Cloth
ing at Kaufman's for 33T to 40 per cent, leas than it can be bought elsewhere, "
"Saying Them from $3 to $5 a Suit,
tbey were naturally astonished. They wanted to know the reason of this great
reduction in prices. They investigated, and having satisfied themselves that
the statement was true, invested their money and advised their friends to go
and do likewise. This was the condition of affairs that prevailed in ; our estab

fied. Every one was convinced tbat bargains or great value were being offered
that prices felt the great atmospheric depression, and tbat the story of

Fourteen years ago I was taken with
an ulceration of the lips, which caused
me great anxiety as vrell as suffering.
Both lips were perfectly raw end very
painful, smarting and burning all the
time, causing tne great suffering. There
was one sore which remained on my lip
for 14 years, and I bad grave rears as to
the end. I tried the best medical treat:
meat the country afforded, and various
remedies that friends 'would ' prescribe.
but nothing had any effect on me what
ever until 1 tried sirs. - Joe Person a
Remedy. I saw her and she told me she
thought she could cure mew . i tried her
Remedy last October, and my lips were
soon perfectly cured and have been
well ever since. " I told Mrs. Person I
would pay her S50 If she would oure me
bat she said no, she preferred my buy
ing her medicine. I did so and would
not take hundreds ox dollars for what it
has done for me. ,',.."
