LITTLE MOUNTAIN.
A Coming Town on the Columbia, Ne"
berry S Laurens Road.

Little Mountain is thirty miles from
Columbia on the Columbia. Newberry
& Laurens road, and is one of the most
promising points on that road. IT is the
natural location of a resort for Column
tians during the summer months, at
least that portion of them who are
unable to travel more extensively.
The mountain is high enough to
afford all that could be desired in the
way of cool and refreshing hret zss. The
surroundings are in every way h-althy,
with an abundant supply Of the best
and purest water in the State.
At oresent Little Mountain IS but an
average way station, though it posses
ses wonderful opportunities if prol erlH
worked. There are several stores already
there, with the usual accompaniment
of mills, blacksmith shops, etc., ali OF
which, are in competent hands.
As the Seaboard Air Line system de
velops into a through freight line to
Colun bia, which it is now fast doing.
Little Mountain will take on growth
:hat will surprise even its most sanSu-
iue friends.-Columbia Journal, 1lth.

IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH.
The Alliance has no Notion of Il Sectional
Division.
ESPECIAL TO Sunday NeWs.1


COLUMBIA, March 1.-the sugges-
ton that the Southern and Western
branches of the Farmers Alliance
should be run as distinct organizations
does not seem to have very many
friends in this neighbornood among
Alliance men. In the first place they
think such scheme altogether improb-
able and far less desirable. The idea is
"pooh-poohed" by the Alliance men
and they insist that the plan is being
almost entirely advocated by disgrun-
tied Alliance men, who have not re-
ceived the political preferment they
imagined would accompany their lead
ership in the Alliance. Editor Bowden,
who is at the head of the official organ
of the movement, said that none of the
friends of the Alliance were favorable
to any division. tather than contract
there is disposition to expand, and
there is now common talk of having
one grand agricultural organization
out of the three Orders. The Husban-
dry, the National Alliance and the
Farmers Alliance were all liable to
unite their fortunes, and Mr.. Bowden
thought that the talk of a division was
entirely unwarranted.
Col. Darcy 2. Duncan, the national
secretary of the Alliance said that the
rumor was entirely without foundation.
He has recently been in consultation
with prominent leaders and nothing
was said about any separation Of the
Western and Southern Alliances. He
thought that the entire trouble was
being made by dissatisfied members of
the Alliance.
Secretary Duncan has not actively
taken charge of the secretaryship Of
the Alliance. His work will hardly
begin before the 1st of April. He has
made all arrangements for the clerical
force be will employ. The headquar-
ters will probably be in the Agricultu-
raj Hall building.
Just about this time it is needless to
say that there is very little activity in
the Alliance, as this is not the time for
ca ampaigning. The Alliance Exchange
is said to be doing very good business.

WASHINGTON, March 1O:-General
Wade Hampton will probably be the
first South Carolinian to receive an
appointment under the present Admin
istratiop. 1t is reported tonight thata
delegation of Nebraska and Iowa Con-
gressmen called upon President Cleve-
land to urge the appointment OF Mr.. I.
II. Morrison, of Nebraska, as commits
sioner of Railroads. It is said that the
President informed the delegation that
he had already decided to appoint an
old and distinguished Democrat to that
position. He then named General
Hampton. The delegation Withdrew
the application of Mr.. Morrison, and it
is understood he will be suggested for
some other place. When I met Gen.
Hampton at his hotel this afternoon
he did not know anything definite on
the subject, but he was aware that
some of his friends had spoken to the
President in his behalf. R. NJ. L.~

All Rrpuh'i.an officials who hold

This is the determination to which
the President has come, and ha has an
nounced it to his friends. In taking
his step he rrturrs to the practice
which he followed eight years ago,
but which was really inaugurated pre-
viously by President Hayes. 1t wss
observed with considerable fidelity by
President Harrison, and will now be
put into strict execution.
The rule will not apply, of course, to
foreign appointments nor to positions
in the departments. Its enforcement
will enable the President to consider
the question Of appointments as vacan-
cics occur. and will relieve him of the
crush which he would necessarily have
to endure if he undertook to make
complete change in the first year of his
administration.

DISASTER AT ERSKINE.
The Handsome New College Building Par
italy Demolished.
Especial to The State. |

DUE WEST, March 1O.-Erskine's
new college building was nearing COM
pletion. Day by day its beauty and
attractiveness were growing upon all
who looked upon it. Everybody was
looking forward to having our COM
mencement exercises in its large and
commodious auditorium in June. All
day yesterday the painters and carpen-
tiers were at work. They stopped at &
p. m. At 7.30 p. III. loud crash was
heard by many people of the town,
and those who heard it knew that the
sound came from Erskine College.
On Fastening to the building terri
bic condition Of things was to be seen
inside the large hall. In the gymna-
SUM under the hall are several brick
pillars laid upon concrete and capped
with stone, and upon these pillars rests
several iron posts running through the
hall to the second story. These posts
support large iron beams. On one Of
these beams is built solid brick fire
wall, twelve inches thick, clear to the
roof. It is supposed that this wall was
too heavy. At any rate, something
gave way, and brick wall, iron beams,
ceiling and flooring came crashing
through torthe ground.
A few of the rooms are wrecked. In
addition to this, the observatory tower
has lost few brick, is cracked on two
sides and is out of plumb.
It it such mass of wreckage that
the exact trouble cannot be ascertained
definitely. Other parts of the building
are as good as ever.
The general opinion is that it will
not take less than $1,000 to repair the
damage.
It is fortunate that the accident oc-
Cured at night, for if it had happened
in daylight, more than likely some one
would have been crushed to death.
The architect, Mr.. J. F. benson, of
Washington, D. c., was telegraphed
for last night and nothing will be done
until he arrives.

The Ocouee News and Greenviile
News have agreed on compromise
State ticket for 1894. It is found in
another column. The Herald and News
cannot endorse that ticket IN full even
as compromise.
There are some men on the ticket
that would suit US, but then it is too
soon to be talking about State officers
for 1891. Let US talk about planting
corn, or who is to get the Federal
patronage, or planting watermelons, or
gardens, or anything, but let US have a
rest for at least little while from this
ms .er of the State ticket for 1894.

THE TAX RETURNS.
County Auditors Occupy Very Delicate
Position under the Recent Law.
1Special TO Sunday News.

ISpeclaI 70 SUNDAY NEWS.
COLUMBIA, March 1.-THE county
auditors will soon have to ask them
selves what they can do to satisfy the
Comptroller-G General and the taxpay-
ers. The county boards of equalization
will meet next week and after they
have taken action on the tax returns
the auditors will have say as final
Judges. Heretofore the action of the
county boards has been accepted as
conclusive, but now there seems to be
a disposition to have the auditors act
independently and raise assessments
wherever it is thought proper to do so.
In Richland County the tow wnship
board of assessors has just recon- mended
to the county auditor that the bank
returns be made upon a basis of two
thirds of the value of the stock as re-
turned. This idea will not exactly suit
the Comptroller'S office, and the same
old fight will be renewed.
