OF bessemer ore at the old Sampson

made of ore brought up by the diamond
drill at depth of $50 feet which runs 60
per cent. of pure bessemer. The work
on the shaft was begun and put dow 2s0
feet and then they begun the trial. Min
ing experts make big prophecies on this
find.

Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her COM
pany entertained the grown folks and
large crowd of children at the matinee
last Wednesday afternoon. The house
at night was small, owing to the very
cold weather. There were four Japa-
nese jugglers who did wonderful things
in their line. Mrs. Tom Thumb was in
Newberry in April, 1876, with her bus
band, who died several years ago. She
is now the Countess Magri. Her pres
ent husband, the Count Magri and his
brother Baron Magri are also on the in
fnitessimal order, and are as small as
the Countess herself. They are excel
lent little people.
The Blumenberg concert company
played to the smallest house of the sea-
son on Saturday night. The weather
was very inclement. Mr.. Louis Blu
menberg is master of violoncello and
his playing was artistic and scientific.
Miss Annie Berger, with her silver cor
net, was the next best on the pro-
gramme. The vocal music was good.
A small house does not make the best
programme.
Next Monday and Tuesday Prof.
Bartholomew will show the wonderful
intelligence of his educated horses in
the Opera House. It will be a novel

has seen the horses has been delighted
with their grand display ofintelligence
and their careful training.'

Let All the People Give Thanks.

Governor Tillman has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation.
State of South Carolina-Thanksgiving
Proclamation by the Governor:
1t b, comes Christian community to
recognize the existence Of all all-wise
Providence, and to return thanks once
year for the blessings it enjoys. The
people of South Carolina have much
for which to be grateful. During the
year just past we have been blessed
with peace and an average degree of
prosperity. A bounteous harvest has
rewarded the labor Of the husbandman,
the laws have afforded protection, and
there has been satisfactory progress in
all our industrial efforts. These bless
ings we owe to God. and should show
our appreciation and gratitude as a
State.
Now, therefore, I, B. r. Tillman,
Governor of the State of South Carroll
ia, hereby set apart Thursday, 26 No
vember, as holiday for thanksgiving
and praise, and ask our people to cease
from their labors on that day, and, by
religious exercises and other appropri-
ate observances. to return thanks to
the Almighty for the many blessings
He has bestowed.
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand and cause the great seal
Of the State to be fixed at the Execu-
tive Chamber, in the city Of Columbia,
on the 10th day of November, 1891.

The Law Making Power.

The General Assembly of South Car
olsna has convened for the year Of
Grace, 1891, and we hope that its delib-
erations may be those of wise, dis
Greet and conservative body Of law
makers. Like the making Of books,
there is likewise no end to the making
of laws. In our humble opinion it is
not so much what may be done or un-
done, as what may not be done. We
have too many laws. A multitude are
dead letters upon the statutes to all in
tents and purposes.
A few good laws, we'll digested and
properly enforced are much better than
many laws that go by default. We re-
member to have heard that at ses-
sion of a legislature at one time, two
laws were passed that were opposed to
each other.
Apart from buncombe speeches and
unwise enactments, there are many
things Of importance to be done,
changed or renewed in the progressive
life of a State, so that legislators and
their constituents need not be disturbed
about much talking. This does not
always show strength or good taste.

STAY OF PROCEEDINGS.
Granted by Judge Hudson in the New
berry Bank Case.

Friday morning Assistant Attor-
ney General D. A. Townsend went to
Sumter and appearing before Judge
Hudson, argued that the appeal to the
Supreme Court in the Newberry bank
case was a supercedeas to further pro-

ceedings pending the decision of that
court. About midday the comptroller
general received the following from
Maj. Townsend:
''Stay granted. The clerk was noti-
fed forthwith by Judge Hudson"
The comptroller says that now the
situation cannot be changed until after
the Supreme Court meets and renders
its decision.

TRIED TO BURN LAURENS.
Startling Attempts of Mysterious 1ncen-
diary-The Alliance Warehouse Set
Afire-A Stable ?he Next.
GSpec;aI TO the C:reenyilIe News.

Special to the Greenville News,
LAURESs, S. c., Nov. 23.-The most
diabolical incendiarisnl occurred here
tonight. AT 7.45 p. III. an attempt
was made 10 fire the warehouse of
Hudgens & Garrison, containing seve-
raj hundred bales of cotton. Lint cot
ton saturated with kerosene was
stuffed into the keyhole of an outer
door. In the inside, bales Of cotton
were against the door, and the commu
nication of the flames would have been
an easy matter. Luckily, a colored
employee detected the incendiary in
the act and gave the alarm. r. II.
Hudgens, one of the owners, fired at
him, but he escaped. Ehe ware house
is surrounded on three sides by plat
form banked with cotton bales. 1t is
located on the rear of Harper street,
west of the r. & d. and south of Rob-
ertson's hotel, one hundred and twenty
FIVE yards from the public square.
Now comes the startling part Of the
devilsm. At o'clock there was a
general alarm and fire was discovered
coming from the roof of l.. & A. kop-
pels frame stable, located to the rear
Of Cray & Sullivan's store in the angle
of Main and Harper streets, $50 yards
from the ware house The flames were
very soon beyond control, and the.
stable was totally destroyed. Loss
about $500; the insurance, if any, can
not be ascertained at this hour. The
burned stable is in the center of g |
group of frame and brick buildings and |
if the fire hal not oeen promptly
checked the disaster would have been
fearful.
Of course great excitement prevails |
as it looks like a systematic attempt |
had been made to destroy the town.
Hudgens & Garrison are the weighers. |
Hudgens and negro each saw the at
tempt to fire the ware house, but the
fellow got away in the darkness. There
were 600 bales of cotton on the plat
form. The number in the house is
considerable.
The events of tonight lead to the
theory that the attempt to fire the cot
ton on the platform Sunday morning
was of incendiary origin, and not acci-
dental, as at first reported.
The amateur fire department rem
dered substantial service in protecting
homes surrounding the Koppel stable.
The stock in the stable was saved with |
difficulty. 1t is safe to say that the
town will be we'll guarded tonight.
Just as I close this dispatch, news
comes to me that Harry Davis, negro,
will be arrested tonight on suspicion.
