Two men were burned to death in
building.
The tow boat Nail City, with her
tow, was caught by the cyclone Thurs
day night at Goyoso, l3o miles above
here. The entire tow was lost, in
cluding coal, ore, fuel and two pro-
duce barges. Six of the crew were
lost. The Nail City was not injured.
M1sERIEs OF THE SITUATION.
LOUISVILLE, March Silt has been
showing here since early last evening,
and this, it is feared, has greatly dam
aged goods in the tobacco district,
much of which could not be protected
against inclement weather. The heavy
snow has also interrupted the work of
repairing, which was actively pushed
all day yesterday, and has otherwise
inflicted hardships Oh the homeless:
The relief committees are doing allln
their power to render aid. The river al
ready is at such a height that the IN
jury to the pumping station at the
water-works could not be repaired, and
so long as the flood continues nothing
can be done. President Long has issued
another warning to consumers, and
estimates that the reservoirs now barely
hoid three days supply for the city.
The last of the dead were laid away
today. The largest subscription for the
relief fund was made by the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad this morning.
Ten thousand dollars is the amount.
LIVING UNDER SHEDS AND CANVAS.
The worst result of the wet weather
is not so much an additional injury t.
property and goods as in the suffering
to i'll protected people. Scores of fami-
lies are sheltered only by hastily put
up boards or canvas and they are wet
and cold. Thanks to generous and in
telligently conducted relief there is
plenty of food, and hunger is not now
among the miseries. Much has been
done during the day far relief and much
more is being done tonight.
The relief committees agents are ac-
lively supplying as much protection
from the weather as is possible. The
most needy are first supplied. On Main
street signs have been put up in many
partly wrecked stores that orders will
be filled as usual, and business has been
resumed.
THE DEATHS WILL NOT EXCEED $50.
In an interview with an Associated
Press reporter to-day Mayor Jacobs
said:
awe have now recovered about all
the bodies of those who were destroyed
by the recent tornado, and l am
thoroughly satisfied that the total
number of those who were killed out
right and those who will die from
wounds will not reach 150."

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.

At the citizens meeting last Friday
it was decided to refer the matter OF
nominating a Mayor and Aldermen OF
the town for the ensuing year to a
Democratic primary. The rules gov
erning the primary are published else
where. Three candidates for Mayor
have signed the pledge and are in the
race. K. P. Goggans, Z. {. Jones
and Jno. c. Wilson. The race promises
to be spirited one. So far the canvas
has been active but all in good spirit.
The candidates are all good men and
any one will make a good Mayor. The
election will be held to-day. There
has been about 400 voters registered.
Only Democrats will be allowed to vote
in the election to-day. The regular
election will be held next Tuesday.
There will hardly be any RepuOll-
can ticket in the field, yet a good many
negroes have registered.
It has been difficult to get candidates
for Aldermen to enter the race. but we
believe all of the present Aldermen
have consented to run, and they will
have no opposition. They are, Ward
l, L. NJ. Speers Ward ,, VIM. John
son; Ward 8, T. f. Epting; Ward +,
G. A. Langford. We trust the tight
will continue to be friendly one.
The majority plan is to rule in the
primary to-day, and ifa second elec-
ton is necessary it will be held on
Saturday.

WHAT REEORMSe

A great deal has been said and writ
ten lately about retrenchment and re-
form, and extravaganza in the man
aeement of affairs in South Carolina
has been repeatedly charged. Now it
is very easy matter to make whole
sale charges of extravaganza, and to
cry reform, and to deal iii generalities.
Our people are in state of unrest and
seem to want something, and it is a
popular thing to preach extravaganza
and to talk about the reforms that are
needed in a general way, and many
pretended friends of the farmers are
riding this hobby because the mass of
the people are pleased and tickled with
such stump oratory. We want to see
this matter brought down to facts and
figures. What reforms are needed?
Please specify. Let US know where
there has been extravaganza, and where
there can be retrenchment and reform.
The editor of The Herald and News
claims to be reasonably reasonable
man, and he is sure that he favors the
strictest economy in the management
of the affairs of State, that will secure
to the people an honest and efficient
administration.
Now if these se-called reformers will
just specify and show US where there
is extravaganza and where there can
be reform, We will give the intiu-
ence of this paper to show up the ex-
travagance and bring about the re-
forms. But we want more than whole
sale charges and generalities.
The only thing that we have seen
specified is salaries of State officers.
If the State officers, as some one has
said, would work for nothing there
would be no appreciable difference in
the rate of taxation.
The question that should engage the
attention of our people now is the fund
ing of our State debt, large portion OF
which falls due in 1892. Nearly all Of
the State tax that we pay goes to pay
the interest on the State debt. We are
now paying six per cent. interest on
this debt of about six millions, which
makes S36O,0OO annually. Now if this
six millions of debt can be funded for
four per cent. there will be saving to
the tax payers annually Of $4,000.
This is an item that would be an appre-
ciable saving to the tax payer, and in
forty years would be saving nearly
equal to the whole debt.
It is thought that the State debt can
be funded for four per cent. if wise
counsels prevails. But if we throw
our State in confusion and shake the
confidence Of the financial world in the
stability of our State government, 1t
will be difficult to fund the debt at a
low rate Of interest.
We need financial craftsmanship
now. This is big question and one
that should receive the attention of
our statesmen.
We shall expect Mr.. Tillman in his
canvass of the State to specify what re-
forms can be made and what he pro-
poses to make.

GRADED SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

We publish elsewhere notice of an
election to be held in Newberry on the
18th instant on the question of issu-
ing bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
the purpose of erecting suitable build
ings for the use of the Graded Schools
in Newberry. We also publish IN this
connection section I Of the Act estab-
fishing Graded Schools in Newberry
which authorize the issuing Of bonds.
This is an important matter. If we
are to have a system of Graded Schools
in Newberry as we have determined to
have, there can be no doubt there can
be no doubt that suitable buildings are
needed. There is nothing that we can
do as a town that will help more to
build US up in material advancement
than a first-class system of schools, and
no one will question the need of suita-
BILE buildings. Then let US go to work
and have the buildings and start the
schools OF right IN the beginning.
We trust there will be little or no op-
position to this measure.
"Scc / In the event the Board of Trustees
herein provided for shall deem il necessary
TO erect school buildings for the use of schools
therein, or 10 purchase property for q like
purpose, it may be lawful for them to submit
to the qualified voters resident in said school
district at an election to be held for that pur-
pose after ten days public notice the QueS-
ton Of authorizing the issue OF bonds not
exceeding the amount Of ten thousand dol
lars. bearing six per cent interest and pay
able in twenty years (the proceeds OF which
bonds shall be used by said Trustees in pur-
chasing or erecting suitable school buildings,
in repairing or improving school buildings,
and in providing suitable furniture and APP
paratus for same), and the levy of an annual
lax Of SiX-tenthS Of q mill to pay the interest

result Of the same. and is authorized 20 exc

be voted, in the event that the majority OF
persons voting at said election shall be in
favor of the same. and the interest annually
accruing on the said bonds shall be paid by

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The rough Of
fetal count of the population of St
Louis by the census Office was completed
yesterday. IL shows the city's popula-
tion to be 44s l24. This is an ex-
cess of about 12,oOo over the
estimate by the local supervisor.
The result of the official rough count
of the population of Baltimore by the
census Office here shows total of 433, 6S9
people. In 1880 Baltimore's population
was 332. .3lS
DETROIT, Mich, July 1o.-The official
estimate OF Detroits population as CIV
en- out from Jackson is 203, 900 and. it
is said. the official count will not ma
terially change these figures. Complaints
Of omission have been received by the
supervisor, but it is doubtful whether
any thing viii be done to secure a new
count unless some united action is taken.
This count does not include about 35,-
600 people in tho suburbs of Detroit
who viii probably be brought in at the
next session of the Legislature. The
