Heavy fire az yeaesyiIle.

JoNEsvILLB, March 10.--Last Saturday
night the people Of this town retired with
everything tranquil aud apparently safe
around thcm, but about midnight they were
startled from their slumbers by tho cry Of
FIRE, which was discovered to be blazing inS
the storehouse belonging to DR.. X. M. Little
john, and occupied by J. L. Swink & Co.
1t was very plain to be seen that the hre
had gained such hcadwsy before any one.
arrived on the spot that this house could not
bc saved, and also that two other stores, one
on the north, belonging to }. f.. Lindsey
and one on the south side, owned by ]. L.
Mcwhirter 4 Co., must also 80. The Linds
sey house was occupied by two parties
j. N. Lemaster, as o Drug Store, and Harris
& Foster, with musical instruments. j. i.
Mowhirter & Co. was carrying largo stock
of General Merchandise. As IL was evident
that these three buildings could not be saved,
tho people turned their attention to the.
saving Of the goods, until they had to leave
the houses on account Of heat and danger,
and then they went to work to save the
houses around.
There was smsll opening all round tho
three stores burned, so by hard, and even.
very dangerous work, the other houses were
saved and the fire stopped. -
Everybody, even the Ladies, turned out
and worked like heroes. The colored peo-
pie, also, women os well rs men, deserve.
much praise, for they really worked like
Tigers to save the property of their white
friends, and without asking or expecting
money or other reward, save the hearty APP
probation of their fellow citizens. !.
Another fact worthy Of notice is thssa e .s.-
uo tnert Uncovered or any attempt TO CEN
oeal goods during the excitement and con-
fusion. - :
Messrs. .Mowhirter & Co. had Moslsr
16O0lb safe, which stood the fire, the COM
bination being oil right afterwards. Mr..
MoWhirter was not willing, however, TO risk
the safe, aud opened Il before the fre drove
him from the store and took out the money
over $2,000-and about all the papers aud
hooks. A few papers that were LEFT in the
snfe were all right after the fire. What o
wonderful invention is tho iron safe.
The board of Equalization fot JonssviI le
Township met in Jouesviilo last Saturday
and passed upon the retnrns and left tho
blanks in the store Of Mowhirter & Co.,
aud they were lost.
The losses are about rs follows: J. L. Me-
whirter & Co., House and Goods, 5000
Insurance, $1,000; DR.. X. NJ. Littlejohn,
House 5000, insurance $500; J. L. Swiuk,
stock Of goods, $1,000, all lost, insurance

The RACE PRoBLEM.-In his speech at
the banquet of the Atlanta (Ga.) Chamber
Of Commerce, last Thursday evening, Gov.
John B. Gordon made the following reference
TO the race problem:
Seriously, gentlemen, we earnestly invite
you to make your, own personal, careful in
speotion of this section and its people. We
think you will find country vS Sf %aSys,lou.
in Pbhhts as in religion, that the hig hest
good comes the greatest tribulation, ought
by this time to be entirely sublimated. We
are not weak enough, however, to claim ex-
cmption from the frailties that belong alike
70 all human society; but 80 are honest
enough to court and challene,, investigation
into our social system and political methods,
and strong enough, we think, to successfully
lefend them before any impartial tribunal
in Christendom.
We would have you study through obser-
vation, rather than through political organs
and orators, the relations that subsist between
the races, and the nature and strength Of the
ties that bind them together. 1t is not my
purpose to discusss this subject but. speak
ing for myself, l wish to say in all sincerity,
that utterly dissent from the doctrine that
there is at the South an impending, necessary,
irrepressible conflict utterly dissent from
the opinion that forcible deportation Of the
colored race is either necessary, humane or
polite. l hold the opinion, grounded in
reason and growing stronger through daily
! observation, that public agitation has alreadrI

When the Farmers Movement degeneratcs
into Ben Tillman boom we may write it
down as q fzzle. Tho farmers Of South Caro-
lima know Ben Tillman well enough to know
that lie is not the man to make Governor.
When the Edgefed meeting put forward Ben
Tillman's name for Governor, which was
very natural, if Mr.. Tillman lacked the sag
acity to suppress such action, they showed
the true inwardness Of the movement. The
indications so far go to show that the farmers
OF the State mean to keep level head. You
may bet your money freely on South Caro-
lima farmers refusing to do foolish or un-
conservative thing es soon as they have time
TO comprehend the situation. Wait and see.
