HOSIERY MILL BURNED.
Firein State Penitentiary, Involving Loss
Of $4,000, Partially Insured-The
State q Serious Loser.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 24-Fire this
afternoon destroyed the hosiery factory,
situated within the walls of the peniten-
tiary and operated by private parties.
The building was owned by the State
and was total loss, there being no in
surance. The building was valued ut
$4,000. The total loss by the fire was
$50, 900, including the machinery and
and stock of goods. Owing to the inn
fammabe nature Of the stock it was
impossible to get the fire under con-
troll. The convicts had quit work and
had been marched to their quarters.
There was no stampede among them
and some of them assisted the firemen
in fighting the flames. The fire is sup
posed to have been started by con-
vict who was left to lock up the factory.
John Graham of this city was one Of
the principal owners of the mill. The
machinery and stock were insured for
$4,000 in the following companies:
Southern, 1000; Sun Mutual, $1,000:
American of Philadelphia, $1,000;
Phoenix of Hartford; s. 500; Hartford,
$500; Georgia Home, $1,000. The
mill and stock were valued at sl2, 200.

proper to any club, that may not affect
two prime points OF Democratic doc

1.-THE undersigned hereby enroll
themselves as members of Demo
cratic Club of (town, city, county or

maintain the principles Of government
laid down by Thomas Jefferson and
those set forth in the platform of the
National Democratic Convention held
at Chicago in 1892. They also declare
that they will refuse to combine with
any self-styled Democrats, who either
proclaim principles contrary to the
authorities above mentioned, or who
refuse, by caucus or otherwise, to admit
the undersigned in full participation
in all party councils, and they hereby
announce their determination to quit
any combination with other organiza-
tions styling themselves as Democratic
as soon as such organization or organi-
cations adopt a platform contrary to or
of such said principles, or

the undersigned from political corn

An Old Song.

When giants lived in ancient times,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!
In good old England, or foreign
climes,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho!
They carried things with high old
hand,
Nor strong, nor weak, could before
them stand,
And they killed whom they pleased
throughout the land,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho!
But the giants didn't have things
their own way when Jack-the-G Giant
killer arrived on the scere. You re-
the story. Recollect, too, that
every age has its giants in the form Of
all SORTS of dread diseases, supposed to
be incurable. Our Jack is in the form
of DR. Pierce, who has proven the ex-
preston "incurable diseases to be
fallacy. Can you imagine more potent
weapons to assist woman in killing
the giant-disease, than DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription? It's the cnly
guaranteed remedy for all functional
painful disorders, and
chronic weaknesses Of womanhood. In
female complaints of every kind, if it
ever fails to benefit or cure, you have
your money back. It's simply ques-
ton Of the company you prefer-the
Giant or Jack!

member of the court. Mr. Cooper was

Cain were guilty Of willful and felo-
nious murder, as found by the court,
when this report was carefully read and

that he stated he could not see what

given in and was the first man 70 speak
when we agreed and after the report

that Captain Mooney in the outset
stated that if there was anything
which any member could not under

the best of his ability. When the re-
port was signed and all was over, Cap
tain Harvey, Sergeant Cooper and my
self went down town together, and

MORE STATE HISTORY.
That Is What Is Needed In the Schools or
South Carolina.

The following circular has been sent
out by the Superintendent of Educa'
ton and explain itself:
STATE OF SOUTH CAoRL1NA,
Office of State superintendent Of Edu-
cation.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April "a, 1894.
To the school officers and teachers OF
the public schools of South Carolina:
have just finished examining the
! revised edition of Chapman's History
of South Carolina, and am pleased to
commend it to you, and beg to urge
upon you to see that it is used in your
schools. the State Board Of Examin-
ers, under the law Of the State author
izing it, have adopted this book, and
entered into contract with the pub.
lishers whereby it is to be used in the
public schools OF the State for period
of seven years, dating from September
5, 1898, and to be sold at IS cents Per
copy.
This book was adopted because, in
the judgment Of the board, it is superior
to ali others in merits as school text
book, and no other history of the State
is permitted by the State Board of Elk.
aminers to be used.
1t is expected BY us that you will
energetically endeavor to have the
contract on the part of the State car
ried out in perfect good faith. We
expect 60 less Of all true Carolinians-
sons and daughters, who respect and
protect the obligations and honor Of
the State.
The importance of teaching the his
tory of our own State to our own chill
dren can not be too strongly put. Too
little attention has been given to it in
the past, which has been great
mistake. Let US hope that the order
of things will now be somewhat
changed, and that the youth Of this
State will be taught to know some :.
thing of the history of our own State
before they are forced to learn the
history of other States. It is not strange
that the average boy or girl of this
State knows more about the history Of
Massachusetts, than South Carolina.
Why? Simply because United States
History, which has more Massa-
chussetts than South Carolina history,
is required to be studied by the pupilto
the almost absolute neglect of the
separate history Of our own State.
The youth of the State should be
taught the history of the State that
they may become familiar with the :
deeds of their ancestors and be ever
ready to defend their course, and we
respectfully urge that more attention
be given to the study of South Caro-
lima History. Most respectfully,
w. D. MAYFIELD,
State Superintendent Of Education and
Chairman State Board of Examiners.

Especial to The State.1


BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 25.-Gov-
ernor B. R. Tillman, of South Carolina,
arrived here on the o'clock train to-
day, osteusibly to attend the Confeder-
ate reunion. On the same train was
W. 81. Skeggs, chairman Of the CAM
psign committee Of the Kolbite Popu-
lite party and free silver leader. Skeggs
was en- route home from New York.
AS Tillman pushed his way through
the crowds in the depot be found Capt.
R. F. Kolb, candidate of the Populists
for Governor, waiting to greet him.
AS Kolb introduced himselfto Tillman
the latter remarked: I'VE have heard
ofeach other before"
EYES," replied Kolb, "and they will
hear of US again, yet"
Ti!lman replied in the affirmative.
1t is believed by many that Governor
Tillman bas come to Birmingham to
confer with Kolb, Skeggs and other
free silver men relative to the proposed
silver party. He is staying at the Nor
ris hotel, where msny people have
called to see him.
Secretary Hartwell of the Kolbite
committee, said tonight that he under
stood Tillman would call at the Kolbite
headquarters. However, he has not
done so as far as is known, his time
having been occupied largely in receiv-
ing visitors at his room. The Kolbitea
and populists here look upon Tillman
as hero, and many of them openly say
they would like to see him and Kolb
nominated on their National ticket.

EARTHQUAKES IN GEEEsE.
Hundreds of People Killed-The Walls OF
Two Churches Fall Upon Worship
ping Congregations

Many reports from the towns which
have suffered. most severely from the
earthquakes of April Goth and 2lst con-
tinues to be received.
The loss of life and property is much
greater than was at first supposed.
In the Locris district 129 persons are
known to have been killed by falling
walls, and many others are missing.
A parish church in Proskino collapsed
during vespers and thirty men and
women were killed outright, while
several who were dug out alive from
from the ruins are likely to die.
Ninety persons were buried in the
ruins Malessina and sixty of them were
killed. The others may recover. In
many towns whole households have
disappeared.
In Martino thlrty-nine persons were
killed by falling timber. Most of them
died within the walls of charch whose
roof fell in during servic.
Although there has been small loss Of
life in Athens and its envirous, the
damage to property has been enor-
nous.
The buildings in which the Austrian
Lloyd and the Florio Rubbattino COM
panies had their Offices were wrecked
completely.
The roof collapsed, the floors broke.
and the walls are rent. Hardly whole
pieces of furniture was left in either
building.
For years the work of restoring the
famous Byzantine Church at Daphne
has been in progress. The dome s5d
walls had been repaired, but yesterday
they were cracked and crumbled, and
the beautiful mosaics were disfgured
beyond hope of restoration.
Appeals for help come in hourly. ut
little can be done toward alleviating
the prevalent distress, as there are
no charity organizations of Importance
in Athens.
In dozens of towns the houses have
been destroyed, the inhabitants are
camping unsheltered, and almost unfed
in fields, and cannot be persuaded to
return to their homes.
The King, accompanied by M. Bou
phides, Minister of the Interior, has be-
gun visiting the districts which have
suffered most keenly.
LARGE FRAGMENTS FALL FROM
THE PARTHENON
ATHENS, April 23.-The total number
Of deaths caused in Greece by the earth

An almost incessant trembling Of the
earth continues, although there are no

Three large fragments have fallen
from the Parthenon, and one of the
walls seems to be insecure.
