Half dozen farmers were yesterday

the market. Among other subjects of
rural interest that of horSe-thievcs was

go on, how nicely bit. Well, he said
he was IL barb-wirc-fcnce man and he'd

In Alleged Fifth Avenue Picture.

An Alleged Fifth Avenue Picture.
One of the most piquant phases Of
fashionable life uptown is the daily
morning and evening parade of the
school girls on Fifth avenue. These
maidens are the boarding scholars in
the fashionable schools for misses in the
neighborhood of Central Park. 1t is the
custom for each teacher to take her class
out for an hours promenade twice day.
The route is always mainly on Fifth
avenue, and variety is gained by turn
ing off at the broad streets or at the
parks. The girls are all the daughters
of rich eastern, western or southern
folks and are dressed in the height of
fashion. They walk two-by-two in long
lines, the teachers usually walking in
the last rank. It is the rule that they
shall talk nothing but French while they
are walking, but as some understand
that language far better than others,
and as the majority detest it and strive
to devote the walking time to confidence
about their teachers, their clothes and
their beaux, there is very little French,
except for the last couple or two. who
have the teacher close at hand.
But the funniest thing about these
girl promenaders is the difficulty they
have in flirting and the persistency
with which they indulge in it against
the heaviest odds. Perhaps they are
not so much to blame as the giddy
Fifth avenue youths, who have for
years made it point to beguile these
maidens into this misbehavior. The
young men ride on the top of stages,
stand on the stoops or halt across the
way and endeavor to catch the eye OF
some round. plump and matronly little
dudine IN the ranks If she looks she is
lost, for at that age it seems impossible
for one of these homeless and lonely lit
tie beings to resist the temptations to
try and cultivate , well-dressed, shapely
youth. So the maiden who is tempted
rolls her eyes over to his direction, then
takes alarm at his raising his hat lest
the teacher should be looking, then
turns her orbs at him again. and grows
red and nervous and happy all At once.
Her companions al nudge one another
and fall to talking French volubly, 10
as to be sure of Completely hoodwink-
ing the teacher, who, ten to one, has
eyes of her own and is dreaming of
orange blossoms and tulle 1T the e1-

A Queer Faculty.

One of the most remarkable instances
of a retentive memory known is that oil
William White, colored, a resident Oh
the county poor-house. Bill is blin..
and has been since boyhood, caused by
the enlargement of the forehead, al
most covering up his eyes. He is bette
known as Blind Bill, and makes hi.
semi-annual visit to Lexington to see thu
town. He can, without a single mis-
take, tell each and every one who ha.
lived at the poor-house during his lon
term there. covering more than twelv
years. Their names, the date of thei.
arrival. giving the day, ETC., or th>
month and year. He can tell you the
number of deaths that have occurred,
the cause, also the date and day OF
death. He knows the streets of Lexing-
ton, and many of them are nilly, rough,
and have q number of steps and terra
ces, better than many who have lived
here longer, and with his long cane
needs no other guide to 60 and come
when he pleases. But the most remark
able thing about Bill is his sense OF
touch. He can tell everyone who has
lived here any length of time by taking
hold of their hand IN his, and feeling
for the various marks of his different
requirements. He recognizes some by
wart, q mole, or q scar, or perhaps
some enlargement of the finger joint.
Mr.. Frank Mattox, q citizen of the coun-
ty who lives twenty miles in one direc.
ton from town and Blind Bill seven
miles in the other, happened to meet
him. Said Mr.. Mattox to someone
standing by:
bill has not felt of my hand in ten
years. wonder if he will know me
now?''
YES, see" said many.
Bill was directed to him, and taking
hold of his hand he began feeling it all
over, and, said he:
Il know who that is. That's Mr..
Frank Mattox. "-Atlanta Constitution.

The Evolution Discussion.

The evolution agitation has resulted in
the establishment of a second Presbyte-
rian Church in Columbia long in ad.
vance of the time when such an estab.
lishment would have been made under
normal conditions.
For some time the Rev. j. L. Girar.
deau, D. d., who has been so prominent
in opposition to the toleration OF eyo!u.
tion theories in the church, has ofliciated
at the Presbyterian mission chapel, on
Richland street, while fulfilling his du'
ties Us one of the professors in the The
o.ogicdl Seminary. A month or two ago
DR.. Girardeau was called to the pulpit
of the First Presbyterian Church of this
city, to take the position made vacant by
the resignation of the Rev. Luther
McKinnon, but he declined the call.
The congregation shortly afterwards
called TO its pulpit DIR. Eugene Daniel,
of Memphis, who had been one of the
ablest exponcnts and defenders of DIR.
Woodrow's position on evolution. A
minority of the congregation, constitut-
ing its most active anti.evolution element,
being opposed to this selection. announced
a determination to leave the church, and
it was surmised at the time in this cor.
respondence that they would concentrate
upon the mission chapel and elevate it
to the rank of a church.
Upon the petition of several church
members the Charleston Presbytery at
its meeting early this month authorized
the organization of the Second Presby.

Convict Labor TabOOed.

CHICAGO, February 19-The Inter.
Oceans Joliet, Ills, special says: "a
remarkable phase of the convict labor
problem was presented here to-day. The
State penitentiary authorities seem to
have surplus of convict labor. Adver-
tisements have appeared in half dozen
of leading papers for a month past
Offering the men to be contracted for to
the hig hest bidder for from FIVE to eight
years. To day the board of commission
ers met at the penitentiary to open bids
for convict labor, but no bids were re-
ceived, much to the surprise of the board.
The members concluded that the agita-
ton of the convict labor question has
intimidated contractors TO such an extent
as to cause convict labor 10 be placed at
a discount. The authorities are in q
quandary as TO what to do with the men.
1t is thought that the convict labor ques.
tion will be submitted to vote of the
State at the next general election, and
that it will be abolished in this State.

A Non-Sectional Issue.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 20.-Thc exec
utive committee of the Free Trade AS.
sociation of South Carolina met in one of
the rooms of the Court House at noon
to day to arrange various details for the
conduct of the Free Trade campaign in
this State. Although the Association is
Independent of party dictatioD, it recog-
nizes the fact that in South Carolina the
tariff reform work must be directed
toward instructing and impressing the
Democratic voters and officeholders, and
nothing in the line of disruption of
the Democracy or of independent"
tickets would be tolerated by any officer
or member of the executive committee.
The committee sat for several hours
and discussed the situation carefully and
hopefully. 1t was decided to hold a
special meeting of the whole Association
on the evening of Wednesday, June 2,
at which time FIVE essays will be read.
President Dargan was authorized by the
Association at its annual meeting In
December to appoint the essayists and
select the eubjects to be treated by them.
The following is the list of subjects and
essayists:
"a brief account Of the organization
and growth of Protection in the United
States" Gen. Edward McCrady, Jr., of
Charleston.
"The Free Trade struggle in England"
Mr.. w. C. Benet, of Abbeville.
"South Carolina's record on the Tariff
question:" Col. John w. r. Pope, of
Columbia.
"The Tariff 10 its relation to Agricul-
ture." Capt. W. R. Davie, of Chester.
"The duty of the Press in the present
Free Trade agitation" MIR. N. G. Con.
zales, OF Columbia.
The essays, which are not to occupy
more than twenty minutes each in deliv-
cry, will afterwards be published. PreSi.
dent J. j. Dargan is the South Carolina
member of the national executive COM
mittee of the American Free Trade
League. Col. T. w. McMaster was
elected the alternate to attend the meet.

gan's inability to be present.

Wilmington in Flames.

WILMINGTON, N. c., February 2l.-
The steamer Bladen, plying between this
city and Fayetteville, N. c., caught fire
this afternoon about 4 o'clock, just be-
fore reaching her wharf, and owing to
the inhammable nature of her cargo, con.
sisting of rosin, spirits of turpentine and
cotton, was Immediately enveloped in
flames. The pilot headed her for the
nearest available wharf and the passen-
gers succeeded in escaping, some by
boats from adjoining vessels and others
by jumping overheard, when they we're
quickly rescued.
The deserted steamer landed against
the wharf of the New York and vii.
mington Steamship Company, and the
FIRE was quickly communicated to the
sheds and warehouses thereon. All the
wharves and sheds being saturated with
rosin and turpentine, the spread of the
fire was rapid, and despite the efforts OF
the 6remen became disastrous conha.
grafton. There was a gale of wind blow.
Ing at the time from the southwest, and
soon the blocks on the water front were
burning furiously.
At about 8 o'clock the fire was gotten
under control, but not until it destroyed
million and half dollars worth of
property. The freight warehouses of
the Wilmington and Weldon and Will.
mington, Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road Companies, and several sailor board
ing houses, were destroyed, and in addi-
ton to the steamer Bladen the steamer
River Queen, of the same line, was
burned to the waters edge. The Ameri-
can schooner Lille Holmes, not being
able to get out of the reach of the flames,
was also burned, and will prove total
loss. Over two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars worth of goods were burned
in one warehouse.
The Front street Methodist Church
was included in the list of buildings
burned, and is q total loss. Owing to
the general decentralization incident to
the FIRE it is impossible to ascertain to.
night the individual losses or insurance.
The telegraph wires on the streets were
pulled down and communication is diff.
cult, though the management is using
every possible endeavor TO keep the SER
vice intact.
!, So many poor people are burned out
that fears are entertained Of serious dis.
tress on this account, and active efforts
are being made to relieve all suffering.
Quite handsome sum has already been
raised and others are contributing. The
guests of the Orton House alone raised
muni6cent purse, which is being dis
tributed to those most in need.
