A CROWLEY BLAZE
Our Neighboring City Experiences An
other Fire.

Our Neighboring City Experiences An
other Fire.
Crowley went through the or
deal of another blaze yesterday
morning. We clip the following
extract from the Signal of yes
terday:
Between 1:3O and 3 3o'clock this
morning about $1,000 worth of
property was destroyed by fire
which swept the large sale stable
of West Bros. & Redman, stu
ated at the corner Of Aven ue u
and Third street, completely out
of existence.
1t is impossible to give at this
time complete list Of thelosers,
as many of the victims do not
know themselves how much Of
their property went up in the
flames. AS nearly as can be es-
timated the largest loosers were:
West Bros. & Redman Sd 700
Acadia Iron Works ...... $500
Black Bros ............... ooo
DR.. Vulliamy ....... 3OO
Besides these there were nu
merous smaller losses. Ben
Black had two fine buggies de-
stroyed in the stable. Nine bug
gies in all were burned and six Of
them belonged to patrons. of the
stable. A rice farmer named
Sawyer had two big wagons
loaded with household goods in
the stable. One of these was
pulled out by the volunteer fire
men but the other with all it's
contents except a few tin pans
was consumed.
The damage by water was re-
markably slight considering the
thousands of gallons that were
hurled into the fire. On the sec
ond floor of Black Bros. eighteen
or twenty buggies were stored.
They do not seem to have suf-
fered greatly from either the
heat or the water.
Black Bros. loss and that OF
the Acadia Iron WOrkSis covered
by insurance.
The loss will fall heaviest upon
West Bros. & Redman. Until
the safe coolS off so it can be
opened the full extent of their
loss cannot be told. In this re
ceptacle are the books of the firm
and many valuable notes and pa.
perS. 1t is doubtful whether
they wlthstood the fierce heat.

Apropos of nothing.in particular,
and a good many things in general,
we offer a bit of biography to our
readers, written by some one who
sees things in the "white light" that
beats sometimes upon United States
Senator'S. Friends and foes will find
it interesting reading
Farmer, Senator, vituperator.
Born in South Carolina August IL,
1S47. Brought up in haymow.
From early childhood was an expert
farmer, but never bought a gold
brick, preferring silver. Learned use
of the fail in boyhood, and at the age
of twelve could plough up ten-acre
lot by mere use of language. Has
most select assortment of vitupera-
tive phrases in United States. Joined
Confederate army in 1864 as briga-
dier general of the Pitchfork Fusi-
leers, but, owing to illness, saw no
active service. Devoted his time
from close of war until 1886 to
farming aud the mastery of invective.
Can inveigh longer against anything
than any man in the South. Elected
United States Senator in 1895, and
soon became leader of the vitupera-
tive wing of the Democratic party.
Believes in the free coinage of hay,
and is strenuous advocate of the
pitchfork as a civilizing agent. Was
leading spirit in proposed surprise
party to Grover Cleveland, to whom
he was warmly and even heartily
attached, at White House in 1896.
Is supposed to eat nothing but oats.
Has a constitutional objection to
negroes, and believes it is better
that nine million Ethiops should be
massacred than that one should eat
dinner at the White House. Be-
lieves in civil war, but not in foreign.
Is an ardent admirer of Aguinaldo,
and while an advocate and practi-
toner of initiation has no use for ex-
pansien. Having but one eye, is
unable to see the other side Of any
thing, but despite his reputation as a
guerilla statesman, has accomplished
good work in the establishment of
industrial, agricultural and normal
schools in the State of South Caro-
lima. Is a local benefactor and a
national nuisance. Resides at Tren-
ton, S. O., and Washington, d. G.

WALHALLA.
BY A FORMER wAnuAnIA GIRL.

Z
Written for The Keowee Courier.l
Most vivid are the visions of the past,
Dear always are the memories of our
youth;
No mattsr how or where our lot is cast,
We will retain our love for days gone
by;
Walhalla, remember as of old,
Her people with hearts dear, true, kind
and bold.
we'll remember her homes full of cheer
And kindly welcome, peace, content
and love;
The grandure of the mountains ever near,
Which fancy could fill with the gods of
old;
The misty beauty of the nearer hills,
The murmur of the flowing crystal rills.
In memory again hear sighing winds,
Soft as If angels wings were rustling
near;
See beauty, light and shadow ever lends,
Though adding to the mystery of the
night;
And am sure the skies are blurer there,
And that the stars shine brighter than
elsewhere.
And autumn, elsewhere like her beauty,
leaves
All golden crimson, yellow ever seem
AS showers from rainbow as they fall
So gently, kissing all the housetops,
caves
And earth, and making carpets FAIRIES
tread
Upon with joy and pranks, not fear and
dread.
In long ago her maidens were fair, too;
Her lovers ever brave and true. My
ears
First heard the thrilling story, "I love
YOU"
Amid hSr garden of roses rare, know.
My lover was bold, being five years old,
While was most four when his love he
told.
1 hope the dear old town will ever grow
And prosper, till like Theseus' ship of
old
1t ever will be hard truth to know,
One to vex learned men in future years,
To tell, if it be still Walhalla town,
Or one of greater fame or more renown.

A Big Mortgage.

The largest mortgage ever given In
Anderson county has just been placed In
the Office of the Clerk of Court for entry
upon the records.
1t is for $500,000 and was given by the
Anderson Water, Light and Power Com
pany to the Morton Trust Company of
New York to secure bonds to be issued.
The Water, Light and Power Company
some time ago decided to issue bonds to
the amount of $500,00O to retire out
standing bonds, rebuild the dam at Port
man and otherwise improve the property.
The bonds are to run for 20 years and
bear @ per cent interest.
That capitalists consider the invest
ment good one Ia proven by the fact
that no difficulty was found in getting a
trust company to act as fiscal agent and
guarantee the bonds, and that most Of
the bonds have already been engaged. -

How Gen. Jenkins was Killed.

Gen. Micah Jenkins was killed by
our own men at the Wilderness or
the 9th of May, 1864, not far from
where Stonewall Jackson was NOR.
tally wounded after the battle o1
Charlottesville in May, 1868. Gen
Longstreet was badly wounded by
the volley that killed jenkins, which
was fred through mistake at the
Twelfth Virginia regiment by their
comrades of Mahone's brigade. The
troops were moving down the Plank
road at critical moment of the bat
tie, Jenkins's brigade by the road and
Kershaw's division alongside. Gen.
Longstreet rode at the head of the
column, accompanied by jenkins and
Kershaw, and after discussing the
proposed disposition of their troops
for reopenipg battle, jenkins rode
closer to Longstreet, and said {: "I
am happy; have felt despair of the
cause for some months, but am now
relieved, and feel assured that we
will put the enemy back across the
Rapidan before night" These were
the last words he ever spoke. The
Twelfth Virginia had been in ad-
vance, and was returning to it's place
across the Plank road, when the other
regiments of the brigade opened fire,
believing it was an advance of the
enemy. The Virginians threw them
selves to the ground in order to let
the fire pass over them, when the
group of officers rode into the line of
fire, and Jenkins fell mortally
wounded. Longstreet was struck
with a mimic ball, which passed
through his throat and right shoul-
der. Capt. Alfred Dolby, of Ker-
shaw's staff, and an orderly named
Bowen we're killed instantly.
These facts are stated because 80
many errors have been published re-
Gently in regard to Gen. jenkins,
growing out of the prominence given
to his son in an incident due to the
unfortune conduct of others. Gen.
Jenkins held the rank of hrigadier
general, which he received for gal
liant and meritcricas conduct at Seven
Pines, Gaines Mill and Frazier's
Farm in 1862. Jenkins's brigade
was in the act of returning the fire
from supposed enemy, when Ker-
shaw's clear voice rang out,
"Friends." Their arms were recov-
cred, without a shot in return, and
the men threw themselves down on
their faces.-Greenville Mountaineer.

Old Woman Outraged and Slain.

Gainesville, Ga, March 17.-Mrs.
Christina Blake, an aged widow,
probably seventy-five years old, liv-
ing FIVE miles south of Gainesville,
was to-day outraged and afterwards
brutally murdered by two white
men, both we'll known in this city.
The men held for the double crime
are j. G. Stover and Charley Pirkle,
his brother-in-law.
OF their guilt there can be no
question. They stand self-convicted,
in silence, by indisputable and awful
evidence.
When Mrs. Blake's dead body was
found in her house, her clothing torn
and disarranged, the two men held
for numbering her were lying stupe-
fed with whiskey within few feet
of the corpse, which was scarcely
cold.
They had committed the crime
and had made no effort to escape.
Either that or they had been 80 hor-
rified at their deed that they had
sought to find forgetfnlness in whis-
key and drank until their benumbed
faculties refused to respond to the
instinct of self-preservation.
Stover and Pirkle were brought
at once to Gainesville by J. M. Green
and w. l.. Hawkins, and are now
confined in Jail.
The prompt action of Judge Estes
in ordering the men brought here as
soon as he learned of the murder is
doubtless responsible for preventing
the swift administration of lynch
law. The people in the vicinity of
Fiowery Branch, which is near the
scene of the crime, are worked up to
high pitch of excitement, and vio-
lence seemed imminent.
The body of Mrs. Blake was beaten
up horribly, and from scratches on
the hands of the two men she met
death only after resistance.
Stover and Pirkle had gone to
Flowery Branch in the morning and
received case of eleven bottles of
whiskey. They started for home in
wagon. The men drank heavily.
On the way home they stopped at
the house of Mrs. Blake and entered,
for what reason is not known. They
were quarrelsome and soon raised a
row.
Mrs. Jack Evans, the adopted
daughter of Mrs. Blake, became
frightened and ran to the field to get
her husband. When she returned
with help the dead body of the aged
woman lay prostrate on the floor.
On either side of her were the n,ur.
derers too drunk to move. They
were tied hand and foot, and Judge
Estes, of Gainesville, Immediately
telephoned. He at once ordered the
men brought to this place.
In addition to the bruises found
on the body the neck showed signs
that death had been caused by chok-
ing, finger marks being plainly visi-
BILE. Evidences of another crime
were also apparent.
Stover is man between twenty
five and thirty. Pirkle is boy of
about eighteen. Stover has wife
and family.

Employing Lunatlcs.

Jackson, Miss, March 2O.-As
Mississippi led in setting the best
method for the utilizing of convict
labor in the South, so as to make it
profitable, she is now going to set
the pace in regard to the working
OF the inhabitants of her insane
asylum. A railroad is being con-
structcd with the patients of the in
sane asylum of the State and the
road that is being built by this unu-
sual class of labor is three miles in
length. 1t is the first road in the
State that was ever built by this class
of labor.

Politics Soon to be Active.

The time is rapidly approaching for
State politics to begin to get active
in South Carolina, and in two months
things will be lively indeed. The first
steps toward the opening of the
biennial campaign are to be taken
next month. The city and county
Democratic clubs all over the State
are to hold their meetings for the
purpose of reorganization and elect
ing members of the county execu-
tive committees, and transacting such
other business as may come before
them, Oh the fourth Saturday in
April, which falls this year on the
Goth.
Then the next step will be the
holding of the county conventions to
elect delegates to the State conven-
tion to twice the number of Repre-
sentatives the county has in the
General Assembly, to choose a
county chairman, and express views
on any question that may be lafore
the people. These conventions will
be composed of delegates elected by
the clubs, one for each 25 members
on the club roll and one for each
majority fraction thereof. The
county conventions will be held
throughout the State on the first
Monday in May-the 5th.
Then will come the State conven-
tion on the third Wednesday in May
the 21st this year. 1t will have
to transact all the usual business of
the State convention of the party.
1t appears now that one of the
principal matters will be the pro-
posed reduction of the number of
campaign meetings from forty to a
considerably smaller number. The
matter is being agitated just now,
and it is considered likely that the
farce of going to every county seat
will be stopped.
This year the State has to choose
not only successor to United States
Senator McLaurin and full set of
State officers, but new county Off
GERS will have to be nominated.
Congressman also viii have to be in
the field, and the redistricting of the
State will make these races particu-
larly interesting.
The roster of candidates for the
various State, Federal and county
officers is now just beginning to fill
up.
Thus far, while many are being
mentioned in connection with the
various State and other officers, there
are many others who have not yet
determined what they will do.--
