What confusion of fear and curiosity we
find ourselves in when suddenly awakened
at tho dead hours Of the night by the
hoarse cry of Fire. Fire" Such q feeling
was experienced by about thirty guests at
the Union Hotel last Friday night. \ small
fire was left burning in the hotel sitting
room at twelve O'Clock as usual. About 3
o'clock one ofihe guests who was subject
to asthma, was awakened by little smoke
that had worked is way through Key hole
and cracks into his room. Not being able
to sleep on account of his complaint, he
got up and opened his door, when to his
surprise he found the hall dense with
smoke, Coughing aud almost sutfocating
he mode his way down the hall. lie saw
the light and the smoke but could not yell
for coughing. lie made enough fuss how
ever to awaken others. Then came the Fire
"Fire' and such rattling Of trunks and
rushing of half clad people. Those first on
the scene thought that the stairw'y was on
fire. The smoke was so dense that it was
difficult to sec anything distinctly. 1t was
soou discovered that the fire was in the SIT
ting room. Tho mantel was all ablaze and
in fact was nearly ready to fall and the floor
had caught, but two buskets of water were
sufficient to extihguish lit entirely. In an
hour everything was quiet. 1t was narrow
escape and might have been very serious
fire but for that case of asthma.

PEACE AND UNITY CONVENTION

The much talked of peace and unity con-

the most novel gathering in many respects

it was perhaps the most representative TAX

THE PLATFORM VI.

To the People of South Curoiina-- This
conference of Reformers AMI Conservatives
Of the Democratic party OF this State met in
response to the call issued January 23ri.
1890, by the executive committee OF the Re-
formers, who rut forth the address of De-
cember..lS0I, notes with pleasure that lead
ing representatives of the two factions have
begun work to the ends expressed iu that
call and address.
We cordially welcome other all AMI invite
the cooperation of all who favor comLina-
ton of the wisdom and patriotism of the
State, regardless of factions, in the task Of
reconstructing our organic law In common
with al patriotic people of tho State, we
lament that the Democratic party Of the
Stste, so long united and invincibe, has been
torn asundcr by strife and its unity endan-
gercd by the bitterness of iactional spirit.
The causes which have led TO these unhappy
results need not now be considered and
should not now be discussed. In view of the
coming Constitutional convention, in order
that the honor OF the State may be preserved
and the welfare k the people protected and
promoted, it is Of vital importance that fac
tonal lines be ignored, if not oblltcrated
in the selection of delegates to the couven-
ton. Thus and thus only can the new Con-
stitutiOn become the bond and seal of union
among the people of South Carolina. There
fore We recommends
lst. That in the election Of delegates TO
the Constitutional Convention only men OF
prudence and pa' 'riotism be chosen; and that
they be divided equally bctweGn the factions
rs heretofore existing rs far as practicable;
when equal division is impossible that such
fair division be made as will best subservc
the great purpose Of securing white uuiry
and non partisan constitution.
= That wC are unaltcrably and irrcvoc-
ably pledged to the supremacy Of Anglo
Saxon civilization in every part and depart,
ment Of our government, TO bc secured by
fair and constitutional methods. But this
can only bc accomplished by the unity of
our people.
Bird. We have unboundcd faith in the
people, ard confidently trust them, to select
delegates 10 the Constitutional convention TO
represent their opinions with an eye single
TO their fitness for the great ork that will
c omtront them. With convention so chO.
sen the people vi i'll be satisfied with the con.
,tisution it W i'll ADOPT.
1ih. To put the objects Of this conference
in to practical effect and TO promote the nc
complishment thereof, we rcccOmenl the
appointment Of State executive committee
to be composed Of two from each county,
whose duty it shall be forthwith to prepnr
and IrOmulgatc plan Of organization of all
Democrats i'll the state, who are in sympathy
with the objects aud purposes herein declared
Respectfully submitted.

Teed's position is peculiar one and a

sition which, as the mayor, he is al per-

former institution and $22,975.4 Al at the

The salaries paid at the county hospital
are on magnificent scale. Dr. d. G.
Barber, the uperintendent, receives $3.50
per month. In addition to that be mas

his family reside. They receive their
supplies at the coCnty's expense, and
their household servants are paid out of

perintendent of the county hospital is one
of the latest snaps in the gift of the
board OF supervisors Of this county.
There is a small army of attaches to en-

which are the items of expenditure
charged against the institution by the
county auditor for six months:

At the county poor farm they bought
more groceries than they did at the
county hospital and paid less than half
as much in salaries. Still the amount
paid out was very respectable. During
the month they sustained 1873 inmates.
The expenses were $l77e. This was at the
rate OF s1l.5S per head, an eXor bitsnt fig
ure to pay for the support of paupe-s.
The money that was d'sbursed among
indigents by direct gift makes up the
grand total of $50 555.s2. Th.n there are
other items that could be added-such IS
caring for the insane. etc., which would
bring the total over $500, 900. Much more
charity distributed as this has been, will
