home. oificiated. The home physi-
clans are in attendance on the
injured. All the farmers in the
vicinity turned out and assisted
in making coffins, digging graves
and burying the victims. There
we're 147 boys and more than 100
girls in the house, but all are ac-
counted for.
The fire was discovered about
midnight. Mrs Britton the boys
matron, had been in bed some
time when she was awakened by
the smellof smoke. She jumped
to the floor, found i, so hot that
she could not stand on it, aad

The attaches were hastily aroused
and sent in all directions to rouse
the children. Such was Mrs. Brit

inmates that she forgot her own
children and despite her frantic
efforts at rescure, they we're

The Editor Was Out.

Charleston, S. c., 15.-"The
blood on the moon" situation
which has been under TODD to be
brewing between this city, and
Columbia during the past few
days, in consequence of an
editorial squib which appeared in
the Charleston morning paper on
Wednesday, is believed to have
happily blown over. The squib
which caused the rumored trouble
is given below:
GA gentleman prominent in mil
itary affairs in South Carolina
whose name could not be lear ned, y
says the Augusta Herald. while
riding up Center street yesterday
afternoon met with a painful
accident. His horse was wild
and became unmanagebles and
threw him on the pavement near
Stafrord's blacksm ith shop bruis-
lhg him up considerably and
otherwise injuring him" Does
any ody know whether Gen. John
G. Watts has been iu Augusta
within the past week? He is the
only gentleman prominent in
military affairs in South Carolina
just now we bclive."
When this was read in official
circles in Columbia Wednesday
it was construed at once to be a
reckless and unralled for revival
of campaign SANDER and ex-
clama!ions of "Outrage!" and
o'her expletives of a less mild
character were freely INDUCED in
by the friends of the Adjutant and
Inspector General, who was and
had been strictly attending to his
official duties at the capitol al
the time of the alleged occurrence
which gave the excuse for this
pointed personal innuendo.
General Watts was very much
annoyed aud the first traia out Of
Columbia for Charleston bore
himself and his friend, Major
Barney Evans, oceanward. 1t was
understood they were bound for
Charleston to interview the She

this city and visited the editorial

lack of "fghting1 edilort on
hand, but as al! disavowed writing

themselves Us targets Tor the

iutant General and the jovIal
Barney were supposed 10 have

1t may be too early to predict
but from al the signs the year
1897 promises no better times than
1895 gave us. The New England
cotton mil men say that they
will have to smut down entirely or
curtail their output of goods. The
poverty of the country, especially
the middle and lower classes, pre-
vents them from using goods of
which they were at one time large
consumers, and in consequence
there is an over-production in
most if not all commodities.

Senator Tilman is, perhaps, one
Of the most inconsistent men in
the State and should never again
blame a United States Senator for
leaving Washington and interesting
himself i'll local politics. Tlllman
had no more right in Dillon on
last Monday than Hampton did
in Aiken several years ago, and
of which Tillmau made poll
tical capital. "Upon what meat
hath our Ceasar fed that he hath
grown so great?" He has evidently
grown greater than bis party and
claims for himself special priyi-
leges that he is not willing to
grant to others. In his speech
at Dillon he intimated that the
people living below the propose d
new county line had nothing
whatever to do with the matter.
If this be true, what has a man
living in Washington to do with
it? In the name of all the gods,
where will such annoyance and
assumption cease?. The idea OF
a United States Senator leaving
Washington when the Senate was
in session, to take part IN county
affair is too absurd to realize.
Tillman was sent to Wash
ington to represent South
Carolina in the National Senate,
and not to &C around the State
addressing crowds on local issues.
