A Heavy Blow to Darlington.

DARLINGTON, Dec. l7.-About 10
O'Clock tonight fire was discovered in
the two story frame building of A.C.
Spain & Co., occupied on the lower floor
by Mrs. J. S. Swygert's millinery, with
the office of the Darlington Harald and
others up stairs. The flames spread so
rapidly that the fire could not be extin.
gulshed until eight stores and residences
were burned. One Of the buildings was
brick. The burnt portion is on the East
side OF the public square. The fire was
only arrested when it reached a large
brick building with thick walls. The fire
was extlnguished about 2:30 this morn
ing. The loss is about 5000; insur-
ance Will cover most of the losses. J..
A. Boyd, J. J. Ward, P. e. Beck &
Bros losses will far exceed the sinsur-
ance. Florence was wired for assis-
tance, which was gallanfly given, their
boys coming in with cheers, and were
received with cheers, at II O'Clock.

A Shocking Accident.

~PauADEIRHRa:- -Dee:9SS.--sne,z
lal dispatch to the Times from Bristol
Pa., says: A shocking accident occur,
red at the Mill Street railroad crossing.
this afternoon, by which four persons
were killed, one fatally wounded and
one seriously hurt. The accident was
caused by the safety gates at the eros
sing being raised just before the New
York westbound train was due.
A number Of persons had been wait
ing for freight train to pass, and as
soon as the gates were raised. started to
cross. John McIlvaine, teauaster
started across with his wagon, in which
were bis l3-year-old son, Nea- McIlyaine
Jos. Huessay, about the same age, Hugh
Devere, a storekeeper on Pine Street.
and Jno. MCGEE, about fifteen wears old.
The express train, which was running
at full speed, struck the wagon instant.
ly killing Neal McIIvaine, Jos. Hussey
and Hugh Devere. Jno. McIlvaine had
his shoulder and leg broken, ribs crush
ed and was otherwise internally injured,
He is not expected to live.
Two boys were struck with such force
that they were thrown into the canal.
Jas: Johnson, who was crossing the
track afoot, was also struck by the en-
glne and instantly killed. John MCGEE.
who was also in the wagon, was badly
injured.
The gatekeeper claims that the clat-
ter OF the freight trains in,passingd drowned
the noise Of the bell so that it could not
be heard. he will probably be arrested.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l7.-Theannu
report of the chief Of the chemical dlvls-
ions Of the agricultural department con-
tains an account Of the process recently
perfected at the department as result
of the experiment in the chemical laoo-
ratory with reference to the manufacturer
OF sorghum sugar.
The chemist claims substantially an
increase in the yield ofsugar per thou
sand gallons of juice Of from an average
of about 10000 pounds to an average OF
over q, ,997 at an increase OF cost OF pro-
duction of $S4 for the alcohol which en-
teres into the new process.
The report recited some various ditll-
culties hitherto found in the economic
manufacture of sugar from sorghum,
and indicates that the solution OF the
question was to be found in some pro-
cess which would separate. as nearly as
possible, gummy amorphous bodies from
the Juice without precipitatins sugar.
The known property of alcohol to pro-
duce precipitation in the juice was
made use Of IN the further study of the
problem. The difficulties, says the re-
port. which have been encountered in
manufacturing sugar from sorgum juice
have been solely due to the presence Of
gums. Not only has the removal of the
gums been effected by the process evolv-
ed during these experiments, but it has
been shown that this can be effected at q
cost comparatively tritling by compari-
son with the results obtained.

Death on the Rail.

NEwBERRY. S. c., Dec. l3.-There
was fearful accident on the construc-
ton train of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens Railroad about one mile
above here this afternoon, by which con-
ductor Walling and two negroes were xii
led and several others injured.
The engine was pushing several fats
loaded with iron and crossties and one
of the cars loaded with crosstles jumped
the track and in some way showed under
the car loaded with the iron rails and
turned it over. On this car were con-
ductor James T. Walling and several of
the hands. Wallirg and two negroes
were instantly killed. Another negro
had his arm crushed by the heavy iron
and was otherwise injured and will pro-

The Biggest of Boycotts.

SANFORD. FLA, Dec. ll.-President
Polk of the National Farmers Alliance
has named Friday. February 6, 1891,
and Washington, DC, as the time and
place of holding the first meeting Of the
National Legislature Council, which is
composed of the national president
and the presidents OF all the State ALI
ances.
Important action was taken during
the closing moments Of the late conven-
ton. This was the adoption of reso-
luton that the policy of the Alliance
will be to withhold all support from
newspapers which do not conduct ALI
ance departments or at least publish
Alliance news regularly. This arrange
mcnt does not compel the support OF Al
lance measures or an advocacy Of ALI
ance demands on the part ofthese news
papers in their editorial columns, but
does compel certain degree Of triendli,
ness on their part, and amounts to ar
absolute boycott ofallnewspapers which
dc not come up to the terms Of the reso'
luton.

The Third Party Scheme.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. 17.--lt a
meeting in Jacksonville last night, at
tended by General Master Workman
Powderly and John Davis, member-elect
of Congress from Kansas, on behalf OF
the Knights Of labor, President Polk,
National Lecturer Wiliets, members OF
the executive board, Wardwell of North
Dakota, and others of the Farmers Al
lance, it was decided to have no con-
yention at Cincinnatti on February 23d
as had been arranged.
1t was decided that the call for the
Cincinnati convention should not be
formally issued, but that in its stead, q
conference composed OF five from each
of the organizations appointed, should
be held some time in February, which
should go over the ground carefully and
without taking formal action practically
decide what course Of action should be
pursued. This is a decided victory fol
the conservative element among the
third party men.

THE ALLIANCE BANK.
A Few Facts About 1t That VIII BE Of
Interest.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. iS.-The trus-
tee stockholders of the Exchange will
meet in Columbia on the 2Sth of next
January to perfect arrangements for
establishing the Farmers Alliance
Bank, and it is of vital Importance that
every cent Of subscribed stock should
be paid in on or before that time.
Brethren, the successful operation OF
the State Exchange of the Farmers
Alliance of South Carolina depends in
a great measure upon the prompt pay
ment of this stock. Can we not hope
that this will be done, and that other
sub-Alliances. who have done nothing
in this direction. will in like manner
send in their subscriptions?
The State Exchange, desiring to be
just to sub-alliances in its connection,
at its meeting in Columbia unanimous
ly adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That sub-alliances which
have subscribed one or more shares of
stock to the State Exchange and have
paid part of the same, and have, since
making such payment, been reduced in
membership below the constitutional
number upon which said subscription
was based, that all sub-alliances shall
have the benefit of such reduction in
membership and receive credit from
the State Exchange on their stock for
any amount thus overpaid.
At a meeting to be held on the 2Sth
of January, 1891, not only will the
banking business be discussed, but this
will lie discussed in connection with
the future management of the State
Exchange, and it is highly probable
that many changes will be made in the
rules which have heretofore governed
the management Of the Exchange.
The whole business will be discussed,
and an effort will be made to reach the
Wisest conclusions. Let every member
of the Alliance regard the subject as
one in which he is most deeply inter-
ested and send in such suggestions to
the meeting as will in his opinion most
likely lead to the best results.
But, oyer and beyond every other
consideration, let every true and loyal
member of the alliance put forth his
best efforts in seeing that the money
due the State Exchange from the sub
alliances bepromptly paid and reported
on or before the 2Sth of January, 1891.
With this money in hand there is a
bright future for the alliance of South
Carolina. II it is not paid, no promises
can be made.

DO NOT LIKE THE SYSTEM.
Revolt of the Michigan Grange Against
the National Grange.

the NaClOual UTauSe.
LANSING, Mich, Dec. 1.-THE Michi-
gan Grange is in openreyolt against the
National Grange, on account of the
stand taken by the national organization
in indorsing the proposition for govern
mental loans on real estate. Before ad-
journing, the following report was
adopted:
We regret that the National Grange,
the Farmers Alliance, and other organi-
cations of farmers. have indorsed the
proposition, in one form or another, to
make loans by the government to the
people That the issuing of 81 .OOO, ,OOO,-
COO of treasury notes and loaning It to
the people, either directly Or Indirectly,
at a low rate Of interest, would lead to a
wild clamor for credit, every intelligent
person must admit. That no system
could be devised or its operation be so
guarded as to prevent partially and ia
voritism in it's distribution; fist, to per-
sonal friends of the loaning agent, next
to his political associates, every thought
full man must foresee.
That it would create feeling OF help
leSS uepeuUeuCe upOu SofeiAllldl4t dlO ~
those whom it is designed to benefits
thereby relaxing their individual effort,
destroying their energy and seif-reliance
and rendering them helpless mendicants
of government charity. every observer
of human nature must know. That it
would lead to thriftless improvidenc,
relying upon government aid or govern
ment forbearence by those whom it
seeks to benefit, and prove curse in
stead of a blessing, is 50 plainly evident
that we are surprised that the National
Grange should allow itself to be carried
away by the clamor of those who hope
to gain for themselves public preferment
by holding out a scheme so enticing to
the ignorant or improvident debtor and
scheming Speculation.
