ANOTHER MEETING HELD.
Further steps Taken Toward ths Estab-
lishment of Male School.

Further Steps Taken Toward the Estab-
Iishment of Male Schnoi.
A mass.meeting was held in the
Opera House last Friday evening to
take further steps towards locating
male school at this place. The
meeting was called To order by the
chairman, Dr.. Robt. Pillow, and the
minutes of the former meeting were
read and approved. The committee
on ways and means appointed at the
former meeting made report, re-
commenting among other things as
follows:
"That in order to so meet the demands
of modern school work and to place
such an institution on grade with the
best Academies of our surrounding
counties and states, it is necessary that
Il worthy investment be made in real
estate, buildings, school furniture and
requisites, which end we believe we
should subserve by the raising of $i0,-
900. And that a widespread personal
interest may be perpetuated in such an
institution it Is very much desired
that the $4,000 be divided into small
shares of stock, and that widespread
distribution of said stock shall be
bought
On motion the chair was ordered
to appoint canvassing committee,
who should seek to approach the
citizens of the town and community
and take their subscriptions for
shares of stock in the institution.
Those in attendance were very
enthusiastic, and speeches were
made by Hon. +. II. Hatcher. l.. P.
Padgett, j. H. Andrews, Prof. Dod-
son and others.
Messrs. e. IL. Hatcher, l.. P.
PAdgett, and John Trotwood Moore
were appointed to prepare an ad-
dress to the citizens of the com
munity in reference to establishing
such an institution, and that this
address should provide for the call
ing of another citizens meeting.

most destructive fires in the history
of Lewisburg broke out this morn.
ing about 2 o'clock. The fire origi-
mated in the office of the Marshall
Gazette. The flames spread to the
residence of j. j. Long. adjoining
the Gazette office, which was soon
consumed. The two-story brick dry
goods store of Ewing & Adams, also
adjoining the Gazette, was soon
reached by the flames. At one time
it seemed as though the whole block
would be destroyed. The house
next to Ewing Il Adams, occupied
by Mrs. Esterhazy's millinery estab
lishment, also the property of Ewing
Il Adams, was burned. The next
building destroyed was the Lewis
burg Bank building. The flames
then spread to Il. w. Longs family
grocery, which was consumed, to-
gether with the stock. Here the
/ flames were checked.
The efforts of the fire department
were of no avail. An engine at Co
/ lambia was telegraphed for, but
could not be obtained. The losses
ON the buildings and stocks are
quite heavy. The office of the
Gazette was valued at $1,000; in.
surance, $1,000. The residence ad-
| joining the Gazette was not insured
+ Ewing d Adams carried an insurance
of 81 200 on the building aud 5000
on the stock OF dry goods. The
bank was insured for about - 800
The family grocery stock was con
sumed; insurance, 81 JJ0.

FIXED FOR FIRES.
New Fire Extinguishing Apparatus Ar.
rived Monday.


The new fire Distinguishing appa-
ratus, purchased by the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen several weeks
ago, arrived Monday, and Columbia
Is better prepared now than ever to
fight the fire fiend.
The new apparatus is a great i'm
provement over the old one. 1t is a
combination machine, having a
chemical attachment, a place for
carrying hose, ladders, aud other
improvements. The wheels have
roller bearings, which makes the
load a great deal lighter upon the
horses. The chemical attachment is
a very important one, as 1T can be
used frequently to eXtinguish fires
without damaging the house or
contents by water, and the ladders
can be extended to reach fifty feet.
The wagon carries 1000 feet of water
hose, a reel with $50 feet of small
hose for the chemical attachment,
and eight fireman can ride upon ii
with ease. The wagon is very
pretty one, and cost 81 800.

enCe


ence.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July Is Hon.
j. M. Head, member of the national
Democratic committee from Tennes-
see. will attend the meeting of the
committee which will be held at
Chicago next Thursday. In order to
go fully posted as to the ideas of the
people on questions that might come
up, he called for a conference with
the Tennessee delegation in congress.
The conferer ce was held this morn
lug at the Maxwell House. Those
present were: Hon. J. M. Head,
Gov. Benton Me Nillin, Representa-
tive j. w. Gaines, Repre- sentative
James D. Richardson, Representative
T. w. Sims, E NJ. Holmes, repre-
senting Senator Turley, and Robert
Cantrell, representing Senator Bate
The situation in the State was dis
cussed, also the sentiment of the
people or certain questions. 1t was
decided that it would not be wise to
fix the time and place for holding
the national convention at this meet
ing of the national committee. The
matter of raising campaign fund
was also discussed. From a talk
with some of those present, it would
appear that the people of the State,
in their opinion, were for Bryan for
| president, and favored free silver,
anti-imperialism and antitrust plat
form.

FIRST BIG GUNS OF NEXT
+. CAMPAIGN.
A Genuine "ChicagO Platform
Meeting Last Night.
Bryan. TlIlman and Others Speak,
While the Crowd Makes AltgeId
Show Himself.

Chicago, July 2O.-Four thous-
and people crowded into the
auditorium tonight despite the
sweltering heat to attend the
political meeting given under
the auspices of the Chicago plat.
form Democrats.
1t was from first to last a silver
meeting, an Altgeld meeting, an
antitrust and anti expansion
meeting. All of the speakers.
save Governor Stone, of Missouri,
who was ill and talked for less
than two minutes, declared in
favor of 16 to 1 and against the
war in the Philippine islands.
The speech of Mr.. Bryan
evoked great enthusiasm among
his hearers, especially when he
declared that the American gov.
ernment should pursue in Luzon
the same policy as we pursued
in Cuba.
His audience was in sympathy
with his suggestions regarding
the Philippines and punctuated
his speech with cheers.
The meeting was largely made
up of the local adherents of the
Chicago platform and personal
followers of ex- Governor Altgeld.
The meeting, therefore, partook
somewhat of the nature of a per-
sonal tribute to him.
Many of the speakers alluded
to him in laudatory terms and at
every mention of his name the
audience shouted approval.
Mr.. Altgeld did not occupy a
seat upon the platform, but
throughout the meeting remained
in the rear part of an upper box
and only made his appearance at
the front of the box when the
demand of the audience to hear
from him became too loud for
Chairman Clarence S. Darrow to
subdue.
About one half of the members
of the national committee occu
pied seats on the platform, the
balance of them failiang to put in
an appearance.
Clarence S. Darrow, who pre-
sided, made short speech de-
fining the objects Of the meeting
and then introduced John L. Tar.
vim of Kentucky.
The next speaker, who was
neatly introduced, was James +.
Brown Of New York.
Senator Tillman of South Car
olina came next and was greeted
with great applause.
