Talk of the Negro.

Columbia, S. C., Oct. 17.—The South Carolina constitutional convention reassembled yesterday. The negro miscegenation question came up and was recommitted. An amendment was introduced this morning exoepting those people in the state who, although they have a slight intermixture of negro blood, have the status of white people. Senator Tillman introduced a resolution providing for the holding of another constitutional convention in 1916 and every twenty years thereafter. This was defeated by a vote of 65 to 47.
