A Big Mistake.

There are some people who seem
to think that opposition to /. Tillman
and Tillnanism means opposition to
the farmers. SO far as very large
majority of the newspapers of the
State is concerned, they are fighting
for no man or set of men, but they
are working for what they conceive
to be for the highest good of us all.
There is no truer, more loyal, harder
working men for the public good
than the editors of the State. In this
Shell-Tillman business they believed
they saw danger ahead and they
said SO. Opposition to a few de-
signing men, although they are farm
ers, is not working against the farm.

cred with wet blankets, and though
they caught fire in several places,
were easily saved. Thus, after three
hours hard fighting, in which white
and colored, with few exceptions,
We'd with each other in deeds of
daring and mcalculating devotion to
duty, the fire ficnd was conquered.
The remark, "Sencca knows how to
fight fire." was overheard by the
writer who noted that for inexperi-
cnced men without leaders, they did
remarkably we'll At the wells of
the neighboring houses vessels were
kept filed with water and from these
men, in many instances unused to
manual labor, kept constant supply
of well filled buckets which were
passed up to those doing no less
important work in saturating the
roofs of buildings.
While dcploring the loss of indi-
viduals, it is believed the fire will be
a benefit to the town. 1t swept out
row of unsightly wooden buildings,
which were a standing menace to
surrounding property. A town or
dinancc forbids the erection of
wooden buildings on tho square, so
it is probable the burnt district will
soon fill up with brick store rooms,
thus giving as pretty a public square
us can be found. Then, too, our
citizens learned several lessons per-
tanning to fires which they will not
soon forget. One is, "always carry
Insurance."
Besides this others, including
Mcssrs. kirkscy, r.. b. Hays, and j.
}. Neville, lost heavily by moving
goods from buildings in danger Of
being burned. The total loss will
amount to something like $4,000;

Flood Sufferers.

The waste Of water continues to grow
wider in tho lower Mississippi Valley,
and it bcggars language to describe the
dcsolation which has como upon the
flooded districts. New breaks have been
of frequent occurrence during the past
week, and in places great terror and con-
fusion prevail. 1t is estimated that some
10000 people have been rendered dcsti-
tute by the flood, while cattle have per.
ished by hundreds and thousands.
Congress has donated Sl2j, 100 to dis
tribute rations for the relief of these dos
titutc people, while government steamers
arc plying up and down the river attempt
ing to stop the breaks in the lcvccs with
bags Of sand and rocks.
Thus the government touches this
problem when it is too late to prevent
disaster. But half walked up, it has at
last undertaken to ''iSsuc ratonS" to The
half-drowncd thousands, because il is
said tho necessity is Immediate" There
is great ado just now about fighting back
the waters, when all the armies Of Alex
andcr the Great could not stay the flood.
our mind is, why does not the govern
mcnt take hold of this Mississippi pro-
blem in earnest before the day Of disas-
ter and dcsolation comes? Instead of
"issuing rationS and tcntS'' to the hun
cry and homeless survivors, why not en-
dcavor to keep the waters Of this mighty
river within bounds? ? The experience OF
eight years ago is being repeated. In
1882 over S2,mO,OOO worth of property
was destroyed, and thousands of people,
black and white, were reduced TO dcsti-
tuition. The flood of that year was de-
scribcd as unprecedented; but the del
uge this year promises to be even more
destructive. Congress them appropriated
over 100000 for relief of the sufferers
1t is true that within the last eight
years large sums Of money and untold
labor has been expended in building new
lovees and strengthening the old ones
but this has been done mainly by the
people Of the States so sorcly afflicted
the Federal Government doing but little
to stay tho destructive floods.
Tho experience Of the last ten years
proves that Congress should no longer
delay in making provision against the
floods. This, if anything can be, is a
vital problem, affecting the whole people
of this nation who arc called upon to aid
in its solution. Only the nation is equal
to 1t. Should foreign enemy land upon
our shores and do onc-tcnth the injury
this ovcrllowing river does, there would
be no lack of men or money to vanqniSh
him. AS to what is the practical Solu-
ton of this problem, We do moi pretend
to know, but certainly something worthy
the energy, genius, wealth, and science
of our nation should be done, not after
the Hood comes, but before. 1t is the
business of the government to ''sct to-"
in earnest about this matter, and if il
docs not already know what to do, il;
undoubtedly should find out Let there
be an end of shovcling sand into wide
crevasscs and tclcgraphing for sacks.

Thc immigration of colorcd people
from North and South Carolina to
the Valley Of the Mississippi has
beer suddenly checked. Most of
these people had gone to work on the
rich river plantations between Nicks-
burg and Grccnvillc. They had never
seen flood before and when the
high water came and the lcyccs
broke, and they were compelled to
seek refuge on them or any high
piece of land they: could find, they
were naturally panic stricken at this
difference between their new and
their old homes. The news of their
destitute condition has reached the
Carolinas, and in consequence the
immigration fever quickly abatcd.

The South Carolina Melon Grow.
ers' Association met at Blackyilt
last Thursday. They have secured
II reduction Of rates from 43 3-1C
cents per hundred to 36 cents. This
makes the cost Of transporting a car
load to New York $50, against Sl03.-
95 last year. The South Carolina
crop will be small this year. Well
informed gcntlem u say that the
acreage will not b more than half
what it was last year. Those who
do make good melons will be likely
TO get gllt-cdgc prices, as the failure
of the fruit crop will make the de-

The Republicans may largely
blame their own conduct and policy
after they became aquaintcd with the
course Of their Southern allies for
the final cxtinguishmcnt of their
party in the constructed States.
Abuse, misrepresentation aud slandcr
have been poured ont continually
against the South by a partisan press.
She is represented as political
Gomorrah. 1t is assumed that every
negro is q Republican, and when the
result shows a smaller Republican
vote than the census would indicate
upon this hypothesis, an outcry of
fraud, suppression Of votes, violence,
intimidation Of voters, is raised from
