"Our sympathies go out to Editor McSweeney in the loss he has sustained in having his plant destroyed by fire, but of course he will soon have his paper issued from a better equipped office than he had before the fire. Five candidates are announced already for mayor of Columbia, and possibly more to coipe. There is a great difference between the capital city and Charleston. In the latter city only one candidate could be induced to run in the recent election. But possibly that was because Mr. Rhett had made such a good mayor that nobody would oppose him. ^ Senator Tillman made a speech in the State house in Columbia last I V 1 Thursday night at the invitation of the,general assembly. He discussed the immigration question. He is in favor of white immigrants, and says that is the only solution of the race problem in the South. The Senator is right, and we agree with him. ? The house of representatives last Saturday, by a unanimous vote, killed the license bill offered \ by a * y Charleston member. The bill provided for handling whiskey by the license system provided by the constitution. It is safe to say that no license system will ever prevail again in this State. It will be either county dispensaries or prohibition, with the chances largely in favor of prohibit ^ / tion. 1 COL. BACON'S TOUR. Our delightful friend, Col. Jas. T. > Bacon, editor of the Edgefield Chron icle, has sent us a circular descriptive of a European tour which he will conduct next summer. The party is to leave New York on the 16th of Jbly, and the tour will embrace Norway, 1 Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France and England, and the entire expenses of the trip for 76 days will . be only $690.00. This amount embraces expenses of every kind except laundry. The Col. will not undertake to wash you or your clothes, so J)ear this in mind. Why, oh why did Col. Bacon have his trip this year , when we can't possibly go? With the financial panic on us, to say nothing of our -new building and the new .machinery which we must buy for our office when we move into our new quarters, this editor is "down and out" financially. If steamboats were were ten cents a string, we couldn't buy a gang plank, much less ride a > boat from New York to Europe. But if you are contemplating visiting the old world at any time in your life, by all means go with Col. Bacon's party. It is the cheapest trip you will ever get, aiid to have his company for 76 days is worth the amount charged and more. If interested, write him at Edgefield for circulars and full in. formation. Speaker's Power Attacked. Washington, Jan. 24.?An attack on the power of the speaker was made in the house today by Mr. Shackelford of Missouri. He said Speaker Cannon was \he "ablest, boldest champion of autocracy this age has produced" and declared that the speaker "exercised a greater dar Dostism than exists in any monarchy in Europe." Mr. Shackelford asserted that before any bill could pass "you must bend your noble bodies forward in proper pose, fold your hands and say 'Oh, Lord Uncle Joe, thy will be done and not mine.' " He challenged Speaker Cannon' 'to rise in his place, not as speaker, but as a member of the Illinois delegation, and tell us how and when it was he shouldered the responsibility for the legislation that was to be here enacted by simply becoming moderator of this deliberative assembly/' Speaker Cannon laughed. Mr. Shackelford protested against the policy of "one man power as in violation of the law" and urged the members "to break down this autoc i "?i?: 3? racy ana tne ruxes in uruei uittt i/iic people's representatives may do the things they want done."

Maynard, who lives near Columbia, was arrested in the city yesterday, charged with impersonating a postoffice inspector and passing a worthless check. The man was arrested by Postoffice Inspector S. W. Kingsmore. The arrest is regarded as an important one and is expected to lead to some sensational developments. In December last Maynard, representing himself as a United States postoffice inspector, purchased a suit , of clothes from a local firm, tendering in payment a check for $12.50, drawn on an Augusta, Ga., bank. The check was forwarded for collec ? -? J 1 a << ?? tion ana returned nia.rK.eu uu guuu. The postoffiee authorities were informed of the matter and Inspector Kingsmore was detailed on the case. He located Maynard in Columbia and; caused his arrest last Wednesday, where a United States commissioner held him in $500 bond to answer to the United States court for impersonating a postoffiee inspector. After being r'eased on bail Maynard came to Asheville to take up his worthless check and was at once arrested and arraigned before a magistrate, charged with passing a worthless check. He was held in $200 bond for the iiext term of superior court. Being unable to furnish bond Maynard was lodged in jail. < - ? y Our New York Letter. Who or where can be the person that has not heard of Henry Ward Beecher? The great preacher, thinker, agitator, is dead, and has been for 20 years, yet his memory is as green as everx and he is really one person that seems to live, though dead. The Northern people worship, idealize the name of Beecher, while Jfne South, not as vindictive as at/me time, when they fairly hated the mere mention of the name. Beecher, his brother Lyman Beecher, his sister Harriet Beecher Stowe (with her *'Uncle Tom's Cabin")? these three did more to hasten hostilities and bring about the civil war than any forces on earth. All this is past history; forgiving spirits must < forgive; others must try to forget, while admirers and adherents pursue the work of perpetuating the name, fame, labors of the>deceased preacher. Plymouth church, where Mr. Beecher did his greatest work^is now served by Rev. Dr. Newell Dwi'ght miiis. Dr. Hillishas for two or three years been actively at work, with active committees endeavoring to raise $1,000,000, to be expended in a perpetual Henry Ward Beecher memorial. The f\rst step in the establishing of this memorial was the recent unveiling of eight stained glass windows, so that now, for the first time, the memorial has assumed a tangible form. It is proposed to have a whole city block taken up with memorial buildings? a crypt for the final resting place of Mr. Beecher and his wife?a museum containing hundreds of objects which were associated with Mr. Beecher during his life. An interesting relic will be the pulpit and chair of the orator preacher. At the unveiling of the windows the chair for the first tinpe in 38 years stood in its old place on the platform. The story of the chair is told by a re J. TT U ?i cent neraiu writer. In the summer of 1867 Charles C. Duncan, a returned sea captain and a member of Plymouth church, at the request of Mr. Beecher, organized a party, made up principally of memof the church, for a trip to the Holy Land. At that time Mr. Beecher was writing his "Life of Christ." He had never visited the scenes in which Jesus passed his life and he decided to do so before finishing certain chapters of the book. At the last moment, Mr. Beeoher was unable to join the party, which left New York on the steamship Quaker City in August. But in spite of the absence of the noted pulpit orator the journey was destined to become famous, for one of the voyagers was Mark Twain, who gathered material for one of his most fascinating stories, "Innocents Abroad." Mr. Clemens also acted as a correspondent for the Herald, and his letters published in this paper at that time, contained many of the incidents that afterwards became apart of the adventures of the "Innocents." Among other persons in the party were Moses Beach, owner of the New York Sun, and Stephen M. Griswold. While in Jerusalem, Mr. Beach pur chased and arranged for the transportation to the seaport of Joppa the trunk of a large olive tree which grew at the foot of the Mount of Olives, in the Valley of Kedron, near the Garden of Gethsemane. On his return to Brooklyn, Mr. Beach had the present pulpit and pulpit furnishings in Plymouth constructed out of the olive tree from the Holy Land. He took the old pulpit to his summer home at Peekskill but the discarded chair in which Mr. Beecher had sat during the services for 20 years, was carried to the cellar of the church. Plymouth church has connected with it much of interest to readers everywhere. H. W.

Chicago, January 25.?Music and slot machines will disappear next week from 5,060 Chicago saloons, by order not of the police, but of4 officers of the saloon keepers' organization. Closer observance of the Sunday closing ordinance also has been commended and declared to precede a saloon upheaval if advised for Sunday. At a directors' meeting of the Chicago. Liquor Dealers' Protective Association the decision to banish music and slot machines came after an earnest plea of several officers. The activity of State's Attorney Healey in the Sunday closing cases and the work of the no license and Chicago law and oraer leagues were declared to precede a saloon upheaval if close observance was not paid to the law. In ira?ih<rlrv IV1UV1 a IU Dawson Springs, Ky., Jan. 25.? iA band of 50 masked "night riders" late last night took possession of the Arcadia hotel here and after terrifying the guests by "shooting up" the place took John Heath, an independent tobacco buyer, who was a guest* to a river near by and upon threats of a ducking made him promise to not sell any more tobacco. The riders first tried to force the night clerk to show them to Mr. Heath's room,- but this he declined to do. The men then scattered to all parts of the hotel, shooting as they went. The guests, terrified by the shooting, rushed from their rooms into the halls, only to be frightened back. Mr. Heath was recognized by the "night riders" as soon as he appeared. He was quickly seized, and although dressed only in his night shirt, he $as put on a horse and taken to tne river aoout a miie away where after threats of being whipped and thrown into the river he was forced to promise that he would not sell any more tobacco. He finally found his way back to the hotel and the masked raiders scattered. 7 ?^ Encounters >Vith fjegroes. Spartanburg, Jan: 25.?Two ugly encounters with negroes have occurred here today. At an/ early hour this morning a negro named Henry Johnson, resting arrest, fired three times at Police Officer Fleming and made good his escape, while the officer was engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with Johnson's pal, a negrb giving his name as Will Johnson. Will Johnson was arrested by the officer, but not until a shot had been fired at him, the ball passing through his clothing. The second trouble occurred tonight about ten o'clock, when a negro who was caught shoplifting ' 1. 11 l ^1^,^ and was oemg neiu uy an empiuycc of the store awaiting the arrival of police, pulled brass knucks and assaulting his guard made his escape. The negro was followed through the streets for some distance by the officers, but made good his escape. ELECTION NOTICE.

Augusta, Ga., Jan. 25.?A mass meeting has been called by a committee of anti-dispensaryites in North Autrusta for 3 o'clock Sunday to answer the speech made by Representative Croft inthehouse Thursday. The call has been signed by Rev. J. Howard Carpenter, for ^committee, in which he says: , "Mr. Croft has misrepresented ohr community and vilely slandered two of its citizens. Such utterances from a public man, supposed to be our servant, must not go unanswered. All friends of prohibition are invited as citizens of South Carolina, but no Georgia man is wanted." The circulation of the call has created quite a considerable agitation in North Augusta among the dispensaryites and conservative, antis who express a certain dissatisfaction at this particular method* / It is plainly the intention to start an Aiken county prohibition campaign at this meeting. Negro Man Frozen to Death. Barnwe?l Jan. 25.?Henry Meyers, colored, about 50 years old, was found frozen to death in a small pond near a larger pond known as Snake pond, about seven miles from here, this morning. Meyers left Barnwell late in the afternoon to go home. He stopped at a negro friend's house about one mile from his home to warm. Later he started on home and to shorten this distance started through an old field pond. It is thought that in walking on the foot log he slipped and fell into the wafer. His feet sank in the mud so deep that he was unable to extricate himself. After calling until his strength left him, he fell over and was found dead this morning by a searching party. Parties living near by heard hisycall for help but paid no attention thinking that it was a hunting party. Meyers had been drinking very heavily and it is no doubt due to this fact that he was not able to get out of the water. / Wreck Near Branchville. Bowman, Jan. 25.?A- wreck occurred on the Bowman and Branchville line about one mile from Branchville last Wednesday night/ The entttqo rJorailfvl nnH snmp of its guiv TT Utj ? ^? parts damaged. The broken parts had to be ordered and the road was thus out of commission for three days. This accident inconvenienced the town greatly, as the road is Bowman's only means of communication with the rest of the State. Election for Prohibion. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 21.?The Democratic caucus of the State legislature tonight determined to entertain a bill providing for a State election in North Carolina on State prohibition. Strong efforts were made by prohibition leaders- to get the caucus to agree to favor a bill for State prohibition by legislative enactment, but this failed. \ 7 Come Over, Women, and Help us With Our Home Mission Work. When to expunge a foul blot from national character, the great, the wise, the hpnpvnlpnt. combine their energies, it becomes not those of humble name, or obscure station, to remain indifferent. The weaker sex who depend for safety and protection on others, have immense interest at stake, in the morality' and purity of the community. Their plea of want of power can scarcely be admitted as a fair release from responsibility, since the moralist and even the politicians of our day, have asserted that no evil can retain great predominance in the community without the permission of women. The cause of temperance which has already wrought such wonders, and has still a giant's work to perform claims our earnest co-operation. Surely they whose duties and felicities are involved in the domestic and maternal relations, should be peculiarly and painfully watchful against every ap - ? * ? ii proach of a sin wmcn desecrates tne home's hallowed sanctuary. Intemperance is by the fireside?at the household board?in the nursery. Have we nothing to do? We whose affections have taken root by that fireside, whose province it is to make that household board subservient to health and heavenly gratitude, shall we perceive amid these sacred haunts, the footsteps of the enemy and slumber? No indeed it behooves us one and all to confine our efforts and enter into a union, which death alone can sever, to work, watch, and pray, until we are called above to claim the joys Heaven has in store for us.
