ceeded to carry out the plan, we had
nothing TO say, as We did not conceive
it to be our dnty to advise Mr.. Netties
Cor Mr.. Knight, it now appears) as to
whom he should select as his associate
editor. But since the matter has been
brought into the columns of the Watch
man and Southron, we must give ex-
preston to our views on the subject.
This new departure in Sumter jour-
nalism did not alter, 10 any particular,
our previous opinion of:the editor of that
paper, for be had, for long time, al
mos. an identical department in the
Manning Times. We were not even sur
prised. We did not recollect the very
slight difference in headings, spoken of
by Mr.. Nettles in his card, and. at any
rate, it is mere distinction without
real difference, in substance /; and We
cannot see In what respect he has bet
tered his position by the publication OF
of the card.
As the case stands since the publica-
,ion of Mr. Nettles' card, Mr.. Knight
is left to bear the odium of selecting
negro as associate editor of the Herald,
in imitation Of Mr.. Nettles' department
in the Manning Times, and not being
9ily enough to so word the heading of
his .'Afro-American" department as to
be able to quibble out on occasion.
As far as We are personally concerned,
to be candid. we do not care whether
Mr.. Nettles or Mr.. Knight or both of
them associate negroes with them in the
editorial departments Of their papers or
not. If there is demand for that class
of papers, some one will voluntarily
supply it, and as We are not catering to
such demand. our interests would not
conflict with the interests Of these
gentlemen should they see fit to volun-
teer in this field; therefore our indifer-
ence. And We also knew that our self
readers would justly estimate
the bybridized journal without sug-
gestion from as. We are of the same
opinion Let the negroes have every
thing to which the Law entities them,
hat they can obtain. Let them have
schools. colleges, churches, societies and
papers; but always keep them separate
md distinct from like institutions in-
ended for the whites. Any admixtare
% any one Of them is stepin the direc-
ion of social equality, aud the white
nan who makes the step is deserving Of
he contempt of all Southern men,
women and children.

sWhat shadows we are, and what shadows
we pursue.'' This is the language of
Edmund Burke upon the death Of an
eminent opponent.
tits very appropriate to our young friend
and neighbor, who, in the prime and vigor of
life was so suddenly removed from among us.

touching comfort to the bereaved family
Quite large congregation of friends and

ST. CHARLES, Jan. Q, 1894.
The funeral services of Mr. J. E. Law were
soleminized at ST. Luke's Church on Sunday
the 7th inst The services were conducted by
Dr.. Darby and the Rev. Mr.. W. H. Hollins-
worth. 1t was the largest and saddest gather
ing at an interment that ever witnessed. The
high estimation of Johnnie's worth and merits
was evinced by the large concourse of friends
and neighbors. Those only who were in
timately associated with him knew the
nobility of his character. He was very un-
assuming aud modest young man, full OF
energy aud perseverance. Had his young
life been spared be would have made his mark
in the business world. He was kind hus-
band and devoted to his afflicted father. His
fearful and terrific death is deeply lamented
by all classes of our people.
Mr. J. C. Luckey is suffering severely from
burns received at the explosion. Mr. Bull
lock is also severely injured.

Boiler Explosion.

One of the eighty-horse power boIets used
to run Lukens Reifsny der's lumber mill,
this city, exploded on Monday between IL
and IL o'clock The boiler was comparative
ly new, having been in use only about three
years, and the explosion was wholly unex-
pected. The other boiler has been in use
eight years and is still perfectly sound. The
explosion was caused by internal corroson,
which affected only one plate, the others now
being sound and uncorroded while the one
corroded appears to have been not more
some places The corrosion WAS due, with
out doubt, to some defect in the plate.
When the explosion occurred there was a
pressure of about IS pounds registered on the
steam guage and there was an abundance of
water in the boiler The defective plate Was
in the front end of the boiler just over the
furnace, consequently the front eud was
blown out and up into the air to the height of
sixty or seventy feet, passing over and
beyond the dry kilo, distance of at least
one hundred and City feet. The smoke
stacks were also clown to considerable
height. The other portion of the boiler was
blown ont of the brick work and turped
completely over, knocking down aud wreck
ing the water tank and frame work The
other boiler was blown out of the brick work
but was not injured to any extent. The
tweuty or more thousand brick surrounding
the boiler were scattered broad cast in every
direction, each one having the force of a
cannon bail The boiler house was totally
demolished, the brick shavings house near by
was knocked into q cooked bat, freight cars
standing on the a c. l.. track near by had
holes knocked into their sides, and several
houses aud sheds surrounding the boiler
house were damaged by the flying missiles.
The whistle attached to the boiler fell
Carr's plsning mill, about five hundred
yards distant; and other pieces Of the wreck
age were blown to as great distances. The
end of the boiler blown over the dry kiln
weighs at least one thousand pounds
The remarkable fact connected with the
disaster is that no one was killed Mr.
John Kennedy who was running to get out of
the way Of the flying bricks was struck on
tue uehu ~ toiIIuS oItChs "oeu ooout t"V
hundred or more feet distant from the boiler
house. His injures are severe but not
necessarily fatal.
Mr.. Thomas Smith, slightly injured
Ransom Pea, colored, was painfully
scalded.
Hampton Cnrr, seriously bruised by bricks.
Steven Mack, bruised on head, legs and
body by bricks.
Simon Witherspoou, injured on legs by
brick.
There were large number OF hands at
work near the explosion and their escape is
nothing short of remarkable
Mr. G. P. Barwick's wagon, which was at
the mill WAS smashed, the horse taking
fright and running away. Mr.. J.. +.
Laughrey's wagon was also damaged
The total damage is estimated to be be-
tween ST 900 and $40, 600 The boiler was not
insured. The large force of hands employed
will be thrown out of work until the
damages can be repaired, but it is hoped that
the mill will be in running order again soon,
as it is the most important enterprise in the
city.

Gentlemen !: In reply TO yours of the 18TH,
beg to say that the Home Fertilizer chemicals
paid this year on my farm better than any
other fertilizer used by me. think it was
owing to its holding out so much longer than
the ammoniated fertilizers which appear to
start off crops early and after appear to fail
too quickly. Yours truly,

to the efficacy of Home Formula, have used
the same for the past six years in quantities
varying from 3 to Is tons. consider it one
of the most reliable fertilizers that have ever

fertilizers that have used. Ny experience
is confined TO its use under and by the side Of
corn and cotton only. When carefully and
properly made, and used as per directions. !
consider it unequaled. Respectfully,

CONSIDER THE RECORD.

vada, having announced that the
only hope for silver is to keep in line
with the national party, we give the
complete record of this party in Con
gress on this question. The following
ID the record, to which may be added
the statement that the Republican
party demonetized silver in 1873:
In the House, April6, 1886:
Republicans for silver 80
Republican, against .............9 90
In the House, June 7, 1890:
Republicans for. 10
Republicans against. ..127
In the House, June Is, 1880:
Republicans for. %
Republicans against 1870
In the Senate, June II, 1850:
Republicans for. Is
Republicans against 90
In the House. March "a, 1882
Republicans for. IL
Republicans against .119
In the Senate, July, 2, 1892:
Republicans for. IL
Republicans against. 10
In the Honse, July ID, 1892:
Repubi cans for o
Republicans against go
In the, House August %, 1898:
Republicans for .. n
Republicans against Ill
The above facts are, taken from the
Congressional Record and are indis-
Putable. 1t win be observed that tho
number Of Republicans for, silver in
1886. in the House, is 30; the highest
number since is %, which number
has varied from 8, IL and Is, till 1893,
when it settled down to Is. This rec.
ord shows that the Republicans in
Congress during the above period
cast 781 votes against silver and lit
for it, or, in other words, take the az
gregate votes for and against silver
and we find that only 13 per cent vot.
ed for silver. This ID per cent, came
not from that section OF the country
which shapes the policy of the party
and controls its action, but from the
West, that practically has no voice in
its national conventions and no power
whatever to formulate it's platforms.
no more than Bartine and Gray and
other Western delegates would have
had in shaLing the action of the Re.
publican Leagues OF America at Den.
yer, even II they had tried to do 90.
Keep these facts in your mind when
when you come to vote for silver NEXT
