A Big Cotton Fire in Anderson.
Special to News and Courier

lOpCIi@A w %NS" y S~A3A OSN~A
ANDERSON, January 5.-Just before
O'Clock this evening, while the wind
was very high, fire was discoved in the
cotton on the city platform, where
there were about three or four thousand
bales. The alarm was given promptly
and the firemen rushed to the scene,
but before they could possibly reach
the place and get to work, the flames,
famed by the high winds, had spread
far and wide, and soon between one
thousand and fifteen hundred bales
were burning fercely.
The firemen worked like Spartans
and in two hours time had succeeded
in subduing the fire to large extent
and confining it to the burning area.
The loss is heavy, but will fall upon the
insurance companies principally. There
is much fire there yet and the wind is
still blowing hard, hence it is impossi-
BILE to give the amount of damage ez-
cept at a guess. The origin of the fire
is supposed to be accidental Notwith-
standing the bitter cold and danger the
fremen and citizens worked heroieally
and saved many bales. Some estimate
the bales burned at 1000 and the loss
$50, 600 to S1o9, 600.

THE ROD AND THE GELD.
Not Whipping Children is Doing Great
Deal Of Harm In the World.


"Spare the rod and spoil the child,
is the best idea, I tell YOU" said Judge
Thomas to q New York Sun man,
Don't talk to me about persuading and
reasoning with children. The only
thing is implicit obedience, and the
sooner you exact it, the better for you
and the child too. Punish without
temper, though. Never show your
anger to your child. That's the trouble
with most parents. They get into g
passion themselves when they whip,
and the child is quick to notice it, and
soon begins to resent it, and cherish it
as wrong. DO your whipping more
in sorrow than anger. Unless you can
do it in this way you had better not try
it at all. The worst whippings ever
got in my life were by my mother,
who did it with tears in her eyes at my
suffering, and a prayer after it, which
took all the resentment out Of my
heart and made me feel that she was
the greater suffer. Oh! this latter-day
idea of not whipping children is the
supremest rot, and is doing great harm.
If whipping can be avoided, all right;
but if nothing else will do, lay it on
with slipper or switch. The thing is to
make them mind Begin the business
early in life too, for the longer it is put
off the harder the task will become.
What does child know about the
reason Of things? Why attempt to
reason with little thing which is
simply bundle of notions, appetites
and impulses, which must, for its own
good, be restrained and directed?
Obedience is the prime education. I
tell you more than three-fourths Of all
the ugly lawlessness and crime which
now af1icts this country comes from
the lack of control in the family circle.
The disobedient, self-willed, INDUCED
child is sure to give unhappiness and
trouble to his parents, and, after leav-
ing them, to violate the laws of his
country. No respect for authority in a
family circle means no respect for the
governing powers of the State. This
is all just as true as preaching"

Especial to The State

Especial to The State
LAURENs, January 4.-Traynham &
Dial's two story brick building, on the
south side Of the public square, was
totally destroyed by fire at 4 o'clock
this morning. The building contained
two large store rooms-one vacant, the
other occupied by J. NJ. Visanska, who
carried handsome stock Of jewelry.
The fire had made great progress when
discovered, and nothing could be done
to save either the house or its contents.
Visanska loses about S., 900 and is in
sured for about 1892. Traynham &
Dial were insured for 5000, their loss
is estimated at from "a, 500 to SIS, 600. R.
G. Watts law office was on the upper
floor; nothing was saved, but the lossis
uncomfortable as his library is in an
other building.
J. W. Ferguson's brick building ad-
joining the burned house was slightly
Injured, as was also Simmons Bros
stock Of dry goods in it. The latter's
losses are covered by insurance.

The rARMERs' COLLEGE.
To Be Opened IN June or July, with EAs-
commodattons for eco Boys.
fThe State, 5th.l

Governor Tillman lastnight returned
from Clemson College, where he has
been for the last few days attending
meetings of the board of directors.
The Legislature having granted the
appropriation of $4,000 asked for by
the trustees for the completion Of the
college, this meeting was to make ar
rangements for the resumption of the
work, and its rapid conclusion.
Governor Tillman says the board
put all the machinery IN motion neces-
sary to secure all the laborers needed
and tbe material, and the work will.
90 forward Immediately with rush.
He says the board could not defnite-
ly settle upon the exact time for the
opening of the college. They hope. if:
possible, to have the college open at.
the frst of May. This, however, will
be decided at the next meeting of the
board, which will be held on February
l. It will depend in great measure on
the condision of the weather for the
next month. IS y
The Governor says that no matter
what may occur the college viii be-
opened not later than July 1, and ne
thinks that with the energy which
they will employ, the college will open
on June 1. The buildings viii all be
completed according to the original
plans, afording accommodations for
800 students.
Nothing was done in regard to the
election of q. president to fill theya-
cancy caused by the resignation OF
President Strobe. Professor Strobe re-
tains the chair of mathematics in the
college, however. The board viii
probably elect president at its next
meeting.

IF NEEDS THE DOODLE.
THE State, 5th.l

In no public mater has Governor
Tiliman ever displayed such unswerv-
ing determination as in the matter of
/ the Evans Dispensary law. The oppc-
sition to the law, that comes from al
most every quarter of the State, only
seems to make him more determined,
and he who thinks that there is any
thing else but very lively times ahead,
is very much mistaken man.
Never before or since the passage of
the act did Governor Tillman have a
word to say in regard to the dispensary
scheme till last night, and then he
displayed his feeling in regard to the
matter in language and manner that
does not permit of misconstruction.
When Governor Tiliman was asked
about the future of the law, and the
opposition that it wss likely to incurin
the courts, he suddenly became calm,
look Of unfiinching determination
overspread his eountenauce, and he re-
Piled: 'You may just say for me that
that bill will go into effect on July /
next, as certain IS it is an act, and it
viii be enforced too"
Gwen if the courts should inter-
vene?''
Yes, despite the courts or anything
else"
The remark was made to the Gov
ernor that it wasyery likely thatthe en-
foreement of the law in the larger cities
would amount to about as much as the
enforcement of the Sunday liquor law.
He said that that would be left to him,
and he guaranteed that the law would
be enforced to the letter even in Char

DIR. GRIER THINKS THAT HALF A LOAF
is BETTER THAN NONE.
ERsKINE COLLEGE,
DUE WEST, S. c.,
December so, 1892.
Rev. A. J. S. Thomas, Editor of
Baptist Courier-Dear Brother: In
answer to your request for my opinion
of the Evans dispensary bill l would
say:
~ 1t is not prohibition. It does
not, therefore, meet the wishes of those
who voted last August for prohibitory
legislation.
~ But it is rigid equation, and,
therefore, restriction and suppression
in measure. The outspoken unani-
nous opposition of the liquor element
in the State is greatly in its favor. 1t
is we'll in this matter to learn from an
enemy. The friends Of temperance
may wisely recognize as worthy ally
and helper every lawful agency which
tends to the suppression of the liquor
traffic. In the tremendous struggle
against the saloon the best thing to be
done in many cases is not that which
may be abstraetly best, but that which
is practicable. Partial restriction is
better than no restriction.
In this view of the case I hope for
good results from the Evans bill. Ger
tainly the law ought to have fair
trial. The abolition of the saloon,
which this bill will accomplish, is a
great advance towards sobriety and
good morals. Let US accept the half
loaf as promise of better things.
Yours truly, w. NJ. GRIEs.
