Port Royal Wise Ia the Very Beginning
-Edgcfleld Will Toe the Mark.

In another column we publish an ex-
celleut editorial which We find in the last
issue OF the Beaufort RepuJlicQn-an
article which We hope our people will
read and ponder well. This article urges
the taking of new hold upon the Blue
Ridge Railroad and Its extension from
Anderson via Edgfcld and Aiken to Port
Royal. in this the Republican shows
itself practical, long-headed, ard cner.
cyincing a realizing sense that
Port Royal must take care ofitsclf, with
out depending upon the Great Western
Canal, or upon the Chicago and Augusta
Road to build it up. 1t is not to the
interest of Port Royal that their Road to
the great West should come down The
Georgia side and touch at Augusta, as at
that point bulk would undoubtedly be
broken, and much valuable produce all
sorbed, which would, ou the AndcIson,
Edgcficld and Port Royal Road, g
straight to Port Royal.
All this Port Royal seems to see. 40
well would it be for Edgeiicld if shC
could as clearly sec her interest. But We
think she will. We think she docs
And we feel sure that when her 800, ,OOt
Tor nore) is called for, she will toe the
mark promptly and chccrfully. Will
confidence, we pledge her to this!
In the meantime we would ask tht
question: What arc the Corporators Q

Railroad doing?-EigcfeM Adrrtjsc,'

The only southern life insurance CON-
pany doing business in New York is the
Piedmont and Arlington, of Virgi:ia. Un-
der the management ofCol. W. G. Caring
ton, it is having a most successful career.
Few companies north or south can show
so good business, relative, of last year.
The increase ofnew business in 1872 over
1871 was 4l2 policies, $l24,S24 amount
at risk, and SiO,907, premiums. Its to-
tal income receipts were 81, $50, ,904, and
it distributed among the widows and
children of policyholders the large sum Of
1886, ,O26 Since the beginning Of the
new year the rush of business has been
greater than ever, the number ofpolicics
taken out in February alone being 435
and the risks on them being 81, 600, 900.
All this is evidence of the high estima-
ton in which this company is held in the
south, and that Endorsement is sufficient
to satisfactorily commend it to the pat
ronage of the people Of other sections OF
the Union.

Pain Killer.

There can be no necessity at this late
d,y, for the press 10 speak in commcnlG-
tory terms of this remarkable medicine,
in order to poromOte its sale; for it is a
medicine that is known and appreciated
the wide world through. When ever We
speak of the Pain Killer, as in the pres
ent instance, we do go in behalf Of the
afflicted, rather than with the view of
advancing the interest Of its proprietors.
For various diseases, such as rheumatism,
cholera, cholera-morbus, burns sprains,
bruises, and so on TO the end Of the cata-
logue, we are convinced that there is no
remedy before the people equal to Davis
Vegetable pain Killer" and we know
that thousands upon thousands entertain
the same belief. Certainly, We cannot
refer to the history ofany medicine which
equals iihhsst Of the Pain Killer. 1t was
introduced in iS40, and from that time to
this its sale, both at iii2mc and abroad,
has constantly and rapidly inc;cascd. and
we rejoice at the high reputation IL has
achieved, because this reputation shows
that is has been the means of relieving
vast amount of human suffering. We
hope the present proprietors of Davis
Vegetable 'Pain Killer" will long live to
enjoy the prosperity which they have so
fairly won.

ANOTHER GREAT BOSTON FIRE,
Loss 100000.

On Tuesday last Boston was visited
with very severe loss by fire, which ap-
pearod at one time likely to be a repeti-
ton of the "Great Fire.
The following dispatch gives some par
ticulars.
BosToN, May, 30.
When discovered the fire was in the
upper floor. of Haley, Morse & Co.'S
warehouse, among the workshops, and
the flames were issuing from the roof.
Piles oflight material packed away, were
like so much tinder, and before an alarm
could be given great volumes of flames
were rolling up fifty feet into the air, and
clouds of smoke rising. The heat genera
tel was intense, and in twenty minutes
the upper stories Of the building from
front to rear, q distance of two hundred
feet were mass of glowing flame. The
fire worked back into the stables of Geo.
4. Bonney, on Bomstcad place, which
runs out Of Boyiston street, near Wash
ington street, and destroyed then.
Eventually the walls of the building fell
and crushed to atoms the extentive Gal
lery of Jaudain, with all the stores be-
meath it. On the opposite corner of
Fayette court the flames soon spread to
another great building adjacent, and that
was also destroyed entirely. including
Nos. 4O3, 4O5, and 4O9 Washington
street, the premises Of Rhode, Ripley x
Go. clothing; j. w. Bracket, pianos /;
Geo Lestor, hats; F. L. Libby, dry
goods, and Geo. L. White. millincr.
The flames crossed Washington street.
Chickering'S splendid granite building,
with its immense front, and the Globe
Theatre, are in ruins.
The fire also caught the stccplc Of the
Presbyterian Church, corner Of Beach
street, and HARRISON avenue, and the
spirc was soon.a mass of flames.
Continuing its course southcrIy from its
place of origin, the fire soon attacked the
International Hotel. G. r. Richardt,
proprietor, No. Ais Washington street,
and it fell an easy prey to the dcvouring
element. The sway Of the monster was
irresistible, and the next to fall its victim
was the large four-story stone front build.
ing occupied by Kelly's billiard rooms,
No. 410; George Thomson & Co., tailors,
No. 22l ;and Montgomery Il Co., conlcc-
tionery store, No. 423.
1t is impossible to give at once all. the
losses, or even the names of the losers by
the fire to-day, but it can be said that
everything from Avery street to Bgylston
street, on the west side Of Washington
street, is nearly or quite destroyed On
the other side from Hayward Place to
Essex street, little is left to show what
existed there at eight O'Clock this morn.
ing. The Globe Theatre saved nearly all
it's wardrobcs. Two persons were killed
by falling walls.

The Burning Of Columbia.

Can any on. tell Us why there should
be so much disputing as to who burned
Columbia? Why should the federal
sold crs who burned Atlanta, DO indig-
uant when charged with destroying Col
umbia? Why is it to be denied that
Sherman's army set fire to houses III a
city. when they do hot deny having left
n track of standing chimmcys and black
cned timbcrs, ten miles wide, from Beau
fort to Chcraw? Why is destruction Oh
the Congarec condemned as lisgracciul,
