Pity the poor Judges of our courts!'
cXclaims the Ashland Record "They
can save little out of their salaries rang
ing from three to five thousand dollars
per year during Il service of twenty
years. They must be pensioned to save
them from going to the poor house aud
so the state legislators are going to
retire them on pay. If this scheme had
originated with Henry George or Edward
Bellamy it would have been immcdia-
tcly frowned down as rank socialism"

The cenfiagration was attended by scenes of intense excitement and score of fire men narrowly escaped being killed by fire and falling walls When the flames were raging most furiously, in spite of the best efforts of twenty-five engines and small army of firemen, firebrands were carried by the wind to adjoining manufacturing buildings. and it looked as if more would have to go.
 The seven-story brick building extend- ing from 175 Canal street, south, to the corner of Jackson street. the nine-story brick building adjoining on the north and the greater part of the four-story brick building in the same direction were entirely destroyed. These buildings occupied nearly the whole of the block on the west side of Canal street, between Adams and Jackson streets. The seven Warren Springer. and the owner Hf the four-story structure. which is one-third saved, is William J. Wilson. The build ings were amply insured.
 The following firms were burned out:

GIVEN A MINUTE TO TALK.
He Was Then Strung Up By Mob For Killing Boy With a
 Whiffletree.

Chattanooga, Nov. 21.-A determined mob of from 100 to 200 armed men from the vicinity of Joynersville took the me- gro, Charles Hurd. the slayer of the white boy, James Kelly, by striking him on the head with a whlffletree. from the wartburg jail at midnight last night and hanged him to tree about a half mile away.
 Wartburg is the county seat of Morgan county, in the northern part of this state. and some miles from a railway, conse- ouently reports of the affair conflict. The lynchers were grim determined set of men, and dressed in homemade jeans and mountain garb without dis guise of any kind, marching In an orderly body across the mountains to Wartburg, returning the same way after the deed. The jailer refused to give up the negro. whereupon they battered in the outer doors with sledge hammers, overpower- ing the guards, and forced the jaller at the point of a pistol to surrender the keys to the inner door and cells. The murderer was conducted to tree some distance off and given a minute 10 talk. He admitted his guilt, saying that he intended to kill the boy. He asked not to be shot, and his request was compiled with. The body was left hanging to the limb of a tree with placard pinned to the breast warning any one against cut fling it down. The owner of the proper ty. however. appeared after the man was dead and refused to allow the spectacle to remain on his premises. The dangling corpse was then strung up to another tree about 100 feet away.

THE CAROLINA CONVENTION.
The Question of lntermarriage of Whites With Negroes and the Exemption Question
 Were Settled

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 21.--In the con vention today the much fought over homestead exemptions section was con sidered and finally adopted. It allows an exemption of 5000 in reality and $500 in personal property to heads of families, and $500 in personality to unmarried persons. The clause regarding the inter marriage of white persons with persons of negro blood or having any such blood came up next for consideration.
 At the afternoon session the negro blood section was adopted as reported by the committee reading:
 ."The marriage of white person with a have one-eighth or more negro blood, shall be unlawful and void."
 Many efforts were made to amend so as to have it read: Any negro blood," but failed. 3qt 45ss
 MT. McMahan introduced and the con- vention adopted section designed to protect the waste lands of the state from being gobbled up by foreigners and cor porations composed of foreigners.
 When the convention took it's o'clock recess it had completed the article on the legislative department and sent it to a third reading.
 Tonight a long session was held An effort was made to have the steering committee done away with for the next few days. It was voted down.

 An ordinance was presented providing for the payment of the interest on the public debt due on January 1. An ordi- nance was also presented authorizing the appropriation of $60,000, If so much be necessary to defray the expenses of the convention and permitting the state treasurer to borrow whatever he might need, the legislature being required to make provision for it's refunding.

 The following were damaged by fall t ing walls and water Miller, Hendricks & Co.,. 53 West Jackson street, packers of beef and pork; Hayward & Windsor com pany, confectioners, 161 Canal street.
 The, losses to the above firms are esti- mated at $35O,0OO, and the building loss at $150,000.
 The fire started from an explosion of chemicals used in cleaning, and the rapidity with which the flames spread in the Enrich factory, where 200 girls and women are employed created a panic In that building. The frightened employees on the upper floors rushed for the elevators, which were small and few, and the stairways were soon damned with the horror-stricken and fainting females. Cool-headed men and police off- cers, summoned by the fire alarms in quick succession, came to the rescue and prevented fire horror. Officers stood guard at the elevators and stairways to prevent more than a safe number of women using those means of exit. The excitement was as great among the 200 female employees of the Banner Waist company, whose factory adjoined the Enrich factory. Only thin partition wall divided the Springer buildings, which were practically one, and in an alarming1y short time the flames had ex- tended up and down through the walls to the buildings on each side The police and firemen had a hard task to get all the young women in safety to the street. many having to be carried out uncon- scious or else driven out, because they wanted to save their small personal prop erty. while there was not time for all 10 get their cloaks and hats, and so far as the police learned all who were employed in the buildings escaped without serious injury, although many were bruised and scratched
