CHURCH AT McCoLL BURNS.
Newly Completed Baptist Church in
Mill Village Destroyed.

Mill Village Destroyed.
The East Side Baptist Church in
the mill village at McColl, was des
troyed by fire one night last week.
There had been a prayer service IN
the early part Of the night and it Is
thought the fire originated from
defective fue. This is sad loss to
the Baptists, who had just recently
finished the church at cost Of about
$4,000. Fortunately there was ABOUT
$500 insurance on the building.
This church was built through the
efforts of Miss R. G. Carroll, who has
done a great work at McColl. I'M
mediately steps are being taken to-
ward rebuilding the church.

FOUR HORSES DROWNED.

4
The State says in the tawney food
sof Hogaboo swamp, seven miles
southwest Of Columbia, party in
charge Of string of horses had an
exciting adventure Wednesday night.
The rains and SHOWS Of the last few
days had poured z torrent into the
streams feeding the Congaree and
the river had overfowed the swamp
so rapidly that the party were not
aware of their danger until they
were in the grasp Of an icy and death
| laden stream. After narrowing
struggle in benumbing waters in the
darkness Of midnight, the members
Of the party were saved.
The live stock was the property Of
the Faux livery stables, of which
Mr.. John H. Faux is manager. The
horses, 13 in number, had been
bought in Orangeburg, and were be-
ing carried to Columbia by jain
Medlin, assisted by Ferney Owens
and another boy. The road from
Orangeburg follows tho Congaree
river up to B7ookland, where the
crossing is made on bridge.
The place at which the crossing
was attempted was formerly passa-
bic by means Of bridge. But the
bridge must have been washed away
or the swamp had been flooded by
the recent rains for as soon as the
horses entered the water, which was,
under normal conditions, very shall
low they did not find bottom. There
were two two-horse wagons and one
to the scene. The horse attached to
not be cut loose and they were
drowned, the bodies being found lat
er in the day when Mr. Faulk went
to the scene. The horse attacked to
the buggy was cut loose and this
one and one Of the remaining horses
which were not attacked to any We
hicles have not yet been found.
Medlin and the small boy along
came very near being drowned when
the accident occurred in their efforts

one of the horses by the bridal and

Senator Tillman's Speech.


lecture at Orangeburg on the race
question is fair sample Of his lee
lures throughout the country he
cannot be said to be a stirrer up Of
strife" says the Columbia Record.
He discussed the subject calmly
and dispassionately, seriously and
fcrcefuIly. He made very clear what
is apparant to any one who thinks at
all that we are confronted with a
race question which cannot be set
tied by palliatives. The fact cannot
be blinked; it is before US and we
can't get rid of it by shutting our
eyes. Whether it is wise to talk
about it or not, there is a difference
Of opinion. If we are to have So
tuition that really solves, we shall be
compelled to discuss the question, to
discuss it sanely and in a way that
looks to the welfase of both races.
''The people of the South are not
responsible for the race question. It
was thrust upon them by the North,
having had it's birth in the passage Of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution by Sec
tional and partizan congress. From
that day to this there has been in ex-
istence this question, and it won't
do to say that because Senator Till
man or anybody else recognizes its
existence he is therefore responsible
;or it's being a question. If those
amendments had not been enacted
there would never have been any
race question. and if they were re-
oealed today we should cease to hear
any talk Of it. For what is it that
makes it a race question? Not the
negro as a man but the negro as a
voter, who as long as he remains such
will continue to be menace.
Senator Tillman believes in strik-
ng at the root Of the evil, and
possibly he is right. Enfranchise-
nent Of the negro was mistake, so
admitted now by the North. The rec
flying Of that mistake would GER
tainly be an effectual remedy, would
solve for all time the difficult prob
lem. But the trouble is the country
1as gone too far now in holding to
the mistake to recede. 1t could have
been done twenty or twenty-flveyears
ago without serious friction, but we |
doubt if it would be expedient to do
50 now. This, however, is a mere
matter Of opinion that may be er-
Upon the whole, we are inclined
to think Senator Tillman's speech
will likely Go far more good than
larn. It was temperate, far-sight-
ed, and, whether his remedy shall /
ever be applied or not, it will tend
% impress on our people the impor-
;ance Of two things: More earnest
Efforts in the cause Of education and
he encouragement of whites to set
lie in the state. While we believe !
hat the superior intelligence Of the
White man will always rule in South
Carolina, we should at the same time
ook ahead and forefend ourselves
.gainst the potency of possible ma
critics. More and better education {
or our people and more settlers are /
ur present crying needs. With I
hese. we need have no fear as to the {
uture.' '
