THE BEST FENCING.
Woven Steel Wire, Heavily Galvanized,
Stands EeVery Test.

The development OF fencing. from the
stone walls OF New England and the
snake fence OF Virginia, through all the
heart-breaking experiences Of farmers
with barbed wire and fence building ma
chimes, has been such a slow process. that
many farmers began TO lose faith in the
perfection of a good wire fence, until the
American Field and Hog Fence appeared.
This highly satisfactory fence has been
improved and now is so perfect that all
fencing shipped from the factories OF the
makers Is guaranteed. 1t is made Of
heavy Bessemer steel wire. This wire is
heavily galvanized and Is then woven in
a costly machine Of such delicate adjust
ment and the weaving is done with such
exactness that when the fence is sub
jected to a strain Of ten or fifteen tons,
every wire receives exactly the same
amount OF strain as every other wire In
proportion 70 it's breaA-ng strain. The
American fencing is delivered in rolls all
ready 70 stretch and staple to the posts
II comes in heights from % inches to S.
inches. II is so quickly adjusted that
three men can put up a mile OF ii in a day
after the posts are set.

PROMINENT PoPULIsT
TALKS ABOUT UNIFORMITY

see in The Semi-Weekly of the 18th in
slant, the question asked, "Is state uni
formity of school books a Populist doc
trine?'.
1 will say that it certainly is. We be-
lieve that the books could be furnished
the people by the state at one-half of the
present cost. But why ask the question?
Has not the Democratic party adopted
nearly all of the Populist demands and
are not great many of the leaders of the
Democratic party in favor Of this meas
ure?
It is very likely that we will all go into
the primaries together this year. The
Populists have ever been ready to submit
to white primaries, and while we know
that the statehouse officers have but little
TO do with the enactment of laws, we
would like to know just where every cam
didate stands on all the leading issues.
All else being equal it is very likely that
the Populists will support the men for Of
flee who represent their views.

AIKEN, s. c.. March 5.-AiSen society
was startled from fits revelry last night
By a terrific FIRE which burned out a
whole block before its fury was spent. As
II timed for the occasion the blaze start
Cd in an empty house just opposite Major
Mallory's palatial residence on Main
street. A large reception was in progress
here and the northern society people were
there in full force Ladies in evening dress

they stepped their way in dainty slippers
through the crowd OF negroes and white
people TO get a good view OF the IRE.
+. Mrs Thomas Hitchcock was a prominent
figure. accompanied BY Lady Constance
Mackenzie. who has been Mrs Hitch
cocks guest since her return from Palm
Beach. Fla
The IRE started at 10 o'clock from the
corner occupied by the Aiken Journal and
Review. The next building was the Of
fee OF the Aiken Record. which blazed up
Ike a finder box and carried the IRE on
the wooden building known as Lyceum
hall.
Startling sounds were soon heard from
this place caused BY the explosion OF
powder and cartridges stored there in its
capacity OF armory FOR the Aiken Rifles
The boom boom OF the powder and the
blaze and smoke OF the FIRE against the
sky made the scene appear from a dis
tance like a great battle The meagre fire
department was pOwerless 10 check the
condensation. and before Il spent itself
nine buildings were burned 10 the ground.
Sunnyside Cottage. filed with northern
fnvaIids, is nothing but a mass OF ashes.
No fatalities are reported. though
number OF persons are more or less in
jured. The houses destroyed are as fol-
