The fire was the worst since the con-
Aaeration in the Third ward on Oct.
2S. 1892 and the loss will exceed ST.

r.. no fatalities.

FORTY STATECOMMiTTEE.
The Committee Forms q Temporary Or
SaniZation.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 3O.-The
action of the convention of the Forty
was much discussed IN all quarters
yesterday. The one main feature Of
all these discussions was thatthe con,
vetion had succeeded in sowing the
seeds of peace and unity, seeds which
would grow despite any efforts that
might be made to stitie their germina,
{ ton. Many expressed the belief, too,
that the good feeling which prevailed
! throughout the convention would be
emulated by the people all over the
State Pretty nearly everybody, irres-
pective Of faction, seems pleased with
the results SO far attained. It is need
less to quote the many expressions OF
opinion heard on all sides yesterday.
The original signers Of the call for the
convention express themselves as wei!
pleased with the action Of the conven-
ton. They say thatthus far they have
accomplished all that their most SAN
guine hopes led them to expect. Their
| best WORK, they say, is yet to be done.
Yesterday morning Chairman Tim
! norman appointed a good many OF
! the members of the working" COM
mittee, consisting Of two in each coun-
; ty, one from each faction. He is, how
ever, getting the delegations to recon-
mend the committeeman to him, and
in good many counties the members
could not be appointed yesterday, as
the delegation had returned home.
Herequests those delegates from coun-
; ties in which he has made no appoint
ments to write him at Zimmerman S
T. O. in Edgefield county giving their
recommendations, or send them to Mr.
L. H. Weston in Columbia. Those
members of the committee already APP
pointed met yesterday and organized
by the election of Mr. T. J. Kirkland
as temporary chairman, and Mr. +. II.
!: Weston as temporary secretary. The
committee yesterday discussed the
plan of organization, but did not come
to any full understanding. They have
pretty well agreed that there shall be
a complete organization in every town
ship in the State.

been appointed so far:

BALTIMORE, March 30.-It is esti-
ma=ed that the South spends annually
the sum of 100000, 1000 for products,
horses and mules, which could be
raised with greater profit in that sec,
ton than elsewhere. The bulk of this
vast sum goes to the West to pay for
grain and meats. Before the war the
South raised its own corn and provi-
sions, and an agitation has been started
to return to that custom. If less cot
ton were produced and more acreage
was devoted to other crops, the finan-
ces of Southern farmers would be in
better shape at the end of a season.

nITTEE


ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE STATE COM
;nTTEE
Col. McSweency said he was also {
member of that State Democratic com
mittee, and not 70. one moment haC
such IN idea as Mr. Sigh expressed
pressed entered his head. In the com
mittee they discussed the matter anc
they did not and do not intend any
conflict with the regular committee
! All we wanted to say was to spread
the idea that white supremacy was tc
be maintained. We should send forth
what we have done and intend to do
What's the use to do anything if we
can't say to the people what we advise:
Adopt the amendment but don't strike
1t out because it is the essential feature.
-lr. Bovkln suggested to change the
name to the working" instead of "ex.
! ccutive committee.
Mr.. Murphy made a laughable reply
to Mr.. Sligh's distinction of commit
tees. He asked were they simply to
come here and pass resolutions and
stop? No, we stand here as bulwark
against an alien race. a man who
sees the conditions, and won't make
concessions cannot be friend of the
white people of South Carolina. Why
are we hear? For the welfare of the
whole people of the State. I submit
that with the amendments the resolu-
ton should pass.
.NoTJEp STIctJ MAN
Mr.. T. G.. Robinson, another mem
Der OF the State Democratic committee,
agreed with Mr. Sigh. He said that
all remember how thnse campaign
committees were criticised. 1t looks
like prescribing medicine and send
ing a committee along to see that the
people take it. Offer the advice and
leave it to the people
Mr.. Murphy-Are you really in IA
vor of this propositions
Mr.. Robinson tried to reply, but
advanced only the same ideas as ex-
pressed above.
Mr.. THOMAS REPLIES.
Mr.. Thomas replied to Mr.. Sigh,
drawing fine distinction, and show
ing that this committee was intended
only to advance the work of applying
the salve which would heal the
wounds.
Mr.. Sea borough wanted one of
each two committeeman in each coun-
ty to be appointed from each faction.
He expressed himself in favor of the
resolution.
The committee then accepted the
amendment changing the name of the
committee to working" instead of
executive" committee.
.IR. sLIGH TALKS BETTER.
Mr.. Johnstones amendment was
then offered
Mr. Sigh came to the front and said
that this amendment met his hearty
approval. The State Democratic exc
cutive committee had declared in IA
vor Of primary.
Mr.. Jchnstone's amendment was
then adopted without opposition.
The report was then adopted as a
! whole as amended.
It was then decided. that the chair.

Got Their Deserts.


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. March 81
South bound passenger train No. 3 on
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
was held up at 2. 35 o'clock this morn
ing at South End Tunnel No 9. The
train was ascending a steep grade be-
tween Greenwood and Alpine, Ky,
in the midst of the widest mountain
section of Kentucky. When white
lantern in the darkness ahead brought
it to stop. man with a cooked re-
volver in his hand climbed into the
cab and covered Engineer Tom Spring
field and Fireman Daisy Rankin, who
were ordered to stand still. Three
other robbers, wearing broad-brimmed
slouch hats and dressed like noun
taineers, withal desperate looking
men, boarded the baggage car, which
they mistook for the exprese car.
Three road detectives were sitting In
the smoker. and when the train
stopped Detective VIII Algood stepped
out on the platform. A fourth man
on the ground ordered him to throw
up his hands, but he replied with
pistol ball. which brought the robber
to the ground. The bandits on the
baggage car stampeded at hearing the
shooting, and jumped down. A sharp
battle of small arms ensued, in which
the other detectives, William Eddy
and Thomas Griffin, took hand. AT
the finish two robbers were found
lying dead and a third mortally
wounded. At Cumberland Falls the
officers telegraphed the news out, and,
alighting, set out on the trail OF. the
.wo fugitives. 1t is thought the
wounded man was a tramp and shot
! by one of the robbers, who mistook
him for train man. She road Off
cials were aware of the plot to hold up
the train, and the presence of the Off
GERS was not accidental, although such
is denied.
WHO THE BANDITS WERE.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March a.
Six men were engaged in the train
robbery on the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad this morning. Two were
killed by the road detectives. Their
names are Jerry Hardin and his son,
Tom Harbin. 4 third bandit was shot
but got away. A boy of ia tramp
who was stealing a ride on the train,
was shot by one of the robbers under
the impression that he was train
man. His name is William Parker of
Pittsburg, Pa. He was taken to the
hospital at Somerset, KY, and will
recover. Jerry Harbin was the leader
of the gang.

soon after his conversion he had this
experience Of the Paraclete. He says:
las I turned and was about to take

pectation of it, without ever having

was any such thing for me, without
any recollection that I had ever heard

upon me in manner that seemed to

How many marked instances of
Holy Ghost power. When a black
trumpeter took his place in White
fields audience proposing to blow
the trumpet at certain point IN
the service and put everything
into derision, somehow he could
not get the trumpet to his lips, and at
the close Of the meeting he sought out
the preacher and asked for his prayers

wanted to answer them. He did not
think that on Of Mr.. Sligh's intelli-
gence should come here and ask if
they proposed to organize Il new party
| The sentiment of the Forty. as eN-
pressed in their address, was to act
subject to the Democratic party of
South Carolina. What they were do
ing was merely advisory to get the
white people united, in order to main
tain white supremacy. He went on
to explain very fully the intentions of
the Forty. This resolution was mere
ly to form an auxiliary committee to
the Democratic committee. He hit
Mr.. Sigh pretty aptly and solidly
when he asked him if he did not re
member that he himself was member
ola State Reform executive committee.
The work was Of fthes same character as
this committees would be. We simp-
ly want to provide means for propa-
eating the resolutions adop:ed here
and of securing white unity. He
could not see why Mr. Sligl should
take umbrage at 1t.
Mr.. Boggs was glad Mr. Sigh had
brought it up; he merely wanted to
say that he was in favor of it.
AN AMENDMENT.
Col. Johnstone said hr simply

committee should cooperate with all

and also increase his earnings. One of
the most essential things to the farmer
or the resident of city or town who has
room for few trees or plants, is to get
good stock, true to name. The North

good reputation along that line, and
their agent, Mr.. G. G. Cushman, is

The snowballs, Tartarian honeysuckles

roses are nicely budded. This is good
showing for the first season.
