An Early Morning Fire. About half past three o'clock on Tuesday morning the brick kitchen to the Newberry Hotel was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was given, but before the tire department got there the kitcken was so far consumed that noth ing could be done for it. The fire was extinguished and no further damage was done, except some slight burning of the doors and windows of the hotel facing towards the kitchen. The hose was run through the hotel building, and some little damage was done to some of the furniture of Mr. Blanton. Very few people knew of the fire, and only a small proportion of the members of the fire conil. any was out. There seems to be something wrong with the tire alarm bell. A new bell was put up I1o)t long since, but if it was rung at all o, Tuesday morning, even those w ho live near by and were awake at the time failed to hear it. We understand that the council is now looking into this matter, and we hope by the time we have another fire it will be so fixed that the alarm can be given and heard. The council has ordered 504) feet of new hose. The engine was repaired not long ago and we believe this is the first time its service has been demand ed since, and it did very poor work this time, and gave out or broke down just about the time the fire was under control. The council some time ago submitted the question of exchanging this engine for a larger one to a citizen's meeting, but it was thought by the citizens that the engine was sufficient. It we were to have a first class fire, if the work of the engine Tuesday morning is an in dication of what it can do, it would be demonstrated that it does not meet the requirements of the case. The fire originated, possibly from the stove flue. The Hotel belongs to Pool and Schumpert, and the loss is fully covored by insurance in the agencies of S. P. Boozer & Son and J. A. Burton. A Horrible Tragedy. On last Saturday afternoon James B. Clary, a farmer, who lives five miles from Newberry, seems to have deter mined to kill his ,whole family, con sisting of a wife, two sons and a daugh ter. For some time he had been drinking very hard and is said to have suffered from delirium tremens, and no doubt on this occasion was crazed from drink. It is said that he first made an assault on his daughter, a young lady about IS years old and undertook to take her life, but was thwarted in the at tempt. Some of the neighbors were sent for as a protection to the family, and while all were sitting quietly in the room Clary picked up a small axe and gave his wife three severe blows on the head leaving her in an unconscious condi tion. It was done before those who were present could interfere. Mrs. Clary was pretty badly hurt but may recover. Yesterday she was thought to be somewhat better, though not as well as the day before. Sheriff Riser wen t up Saturday night and brough t Clary to jail where he iiow is. He did not fully realize, it seems, what he had done until Monday. When e did, of course he greatly regretted it, and said he would not have done it for any amount. All day Sunday those who saw him in jail say that his mind was not righ t. It was only about two years ago that, when in one of these fits of miadness, e shot his little son. It is a dreadful affair and greatly to be regretted. No other explanation than that his mind was crazed from drink can explain the awful tragedy. Now is the Timne to Plant Seeds. Look well to your purchases of Gar den Seeds! Old and unreliable seeds do not deserve room in your gardlen. Without good seed, true to type andI of good germinating quality, the best ef forts in the garden go for nought. Don't waste your time, for time is mon ney. IDon't~buy old seeds. See that this year's date, 1890, is affixed to every paper, otherwise your seeds may be al most old enough to vote. Vg Buy your seeds at Pelham's and get good returns for your labors. t f. VA LENTINES ! VALENTINES! VA LENTINES ! AT THEfl NEWiElRRY 11OOK STORE.

A citizen of this village held his breath in suspense last Friday night when he heard the Laurens passenger engine blow for the crossing from New berry, because a heavy Mogul engine with six driving wheels, had also left Helena for Newberry. The two trains were rushing towardls each other, and would possibly reach the sharp curve before they were aware of their danger! Fortunately that prudent runner, Mr. Hammond, held tile throttle of the up train. The danger wvas seen in time and averted by both engines. The freight engineer applied the air-brakes to his bi.w coal-burning engine and reversed its movement. Enigineer Ham mond stopped his train and a red can (Ie wvas thrown uplonl the track in its rear. It was a perilous moment! To think that the devoted "little Laurens," on its own schedule to a minute, should lie rushing all unconsciously upon a heavy freight on the down-grade, and both trains ap)proaching a curve. The mishap) was caused by the inadver tence of the freight conductor, who had looked upon the wrong page of tIle register, that of the night before, we are told. It was a deplorathle mis take for him, for he had but recenlt ly been promioted. "Eternal vigilance is the price of safety"-on a railroad. SANS Socci. STA TE:oF OH IO, ('ITY 0F TOLEi)o, FnAxK J1.

The Road Said to be About to Change its Terminus--Newberry to be on the Main Line-The Contract for Grad ing to Newberry to be Let at Once -Cars to be Running Here Within Eight Months. [News and Courier.] (' ,ConiciA, Feb. 10.-Momentous news! Watch Port Royal! Col. R. A. Johnson, general managerof the Three C's Road, with Dr. J. U. Black, of the directory, is in Columbia to-night for the purpose of arranging with the con tractors for the building of the New berry and Augusta branch of the great road he represents- He told a repre sentative of the News and Courier, at 11 o'clock to-night, that the contract for the completion of that branch from Blacksburg to Newberry would be giv en out as soon as possible, and that the first forty-five miles would be coni pleted within eight months, and the whole line within eighteen months. Contractors are here conferring with him. But the most important news is this: Col. Johnson says that a strong pres sure is being brought to bear upon his company to run this so-called Augusta branch from Newberry to Port Royal, instead of to Augusta, and that it is very probable that this will be done. The Appletons, who own a great deal of property at Port Royal, have offered the most liberal inducements to the management to make that harbor their seaboard terminus. Col. Johnson argues that by running his line to Port Royal he would secure practically all of its business, while by directing it to Charleston he would have to divide freights with the South Carolina Railway. He thinks it cer tain that a harbor like Port Royal can not be much longer neglected, and that his line might as well be the first to possess it. He does not tell what has been decided upon, but he talks enthu siastically about Port Royal. Watch that bottled port! A NOTHER ACCOUNT. [Charleston Word.] COLrmaIA, Feb. 10.-Col. R. A. Johnson, general superntendent of the Three C's road, arrived in the city this afternoon, accompanied by Dr. Black, of Blacksburg. Col. Johnson came for the purpose of making arrangements to let out the contract for building the line of the Three C's from Black's to Newberry, S. C. Col. Johnson states that on the 4th of July next they will celebrate the opening of one hundred miles of the road, from Minneapolis, Va,, to Johnson City and Erwin, Tenn. At the same time twenty-five miles of road, from Rutherford to Ma rion, N. C., will be opened up. The distance from Marion, N. C., to Erwin, Tenn., is seventy-two miles, and in a year from ne:-t May the whole line will be completed, and the company will haul from its own mines over its own lines into the Carolinas. The company are thinking strongly of making the main line diverge at Blacksburg and run down to Newber ry, where connection will be made with Savannah and into Florida, or with a line to be built from Newberry direct to Port Royal. The inclinations are for the selection of the latter named route. Col. Johnson was met by Mr. Reps Jones, a skilled and wealthy contractor of Knoxville, Tenn., with whom he spent the whole evening. MORE ABOUT THE THREE C'S--DANGER OF THE EDGEFIELD PEOPLE LOS ING THE ROAD. [Special to Charleston World.] BLACeKsnURG, February 10.--General Manager Johnson and Dr. John Black, of the Three C2's railroad, left this morning for Columbia, where they go on business connected with the road. Arrangements are being made to let the contract for grading on the Augus ta division, and work will, it is expect ed, begin within sixty days. There are several contractors here who are anx ious to get work, and they will accept township bonds in part payment for work. There is much trouble between Edgefield and Trenton, about the right af way, the people w anting heavy dam ages for the same. There is talk here of switching off on to the Susong road near Fruit Hill and going by Johnston and Trenton on to Augusta. The in Formation comes direct from the gen eral manager that the road has no money to pay for the right of way, and before he will do this he will make ar rangements with the Susong road.

Counts has been suff'ering with a very sore hand. Owing to the mild weather some of our early gardeners have been sowing the seed. Mr. J. H. Dominick, has a new boarder at his house and one that will likely cast a vote at the ballot box in the course of twenty-one years. More farm work has been done in this community during the month of January than has been done for sev eral years past. Our farmers are al ways on time and we wish them one and all a successful crop year. Miss Leila Nates after spending sev eral days with relatives and friends at Newberry returned home again on last Saturday. We are sorry to learn that Mrs. Adam Hartman, of Mt.

Marks contem plates leaving Prosperity at an early day, and wherever his lot may be cast the best wishes of his many friends here will accompany him. The grain crops in this community seem to have a better appearance since the refreshing showers of rain, howev er, tihe present prospect for good crops of grain in this neighborhood are rather discouraging. The recent cold wave is certainly a great assistance to grain, especially where insects are play ing their wild w ork. A large number of the Alliance Farmers in this community have al ready received their fertilizers. We would say to our Alliance friends, stick together you are working for a good cause and in your~ own.i interest too. SmoMA. Confirmned.

The winter king finally seems to be asserting his power, and is wielding his scepter quite dexterously. Miss Bessie Riser, of Newberry, has a class of young ladies here to whom she is giving lessons in fancy embroi dery on silk plush. The recent cold wave has caused the enemies of the wheat and oat crop to disappear, but too late to save a crop of either. A prominent farmer said to-day that some fields are entirely de stroyed, some partially, and some ap pear not to be injured much. Some fields are being sown in spring oats, while others will be planted in corn and cotton. Our fellow townsman, Mr. G. G. Lane, has secured a patent for a car coupler, which seems to far surpass the celebrated Janney coupler. The coup ling is effected automatically, and no need of a person going between the cars. Its greatest merit seems to be in the fact that the inventor claims that in case of a collision, that the cars or coaches not only automatically un couple but by the arrangement of strong spiral springs the brakes are instantly and effectually applied, thereby render ing telescoping impossible. Mr. Lane has assigned a half interest to Dr. R. L. Luther, and if the coupler and at tachnments will do what are claimed for them, these gentlemen will soon be come millionaires. Success gentlemen. Rev. C. A. _Marks, the beloved and efficient pastor and preacher of Grace congregation, has tendered his resigna tion, which has been accepted by the church council. Rev..Marks has faith fully served our people for four years, during which time, by the grace of God he has accomplished a great work for the Master, and for the salvation of souls. While he is a man that is spirit ually and mentally strong, he is physi cally and constitutionally weak, and the heavy work in this congregation was slowly but surely sapping his health and his physical powers. Put ting his resignation on such high grounds, the church council was left without alternative, and it was ac cepted to take effect on the 4th Sun day in February. He goes to China Grove, N. C., where the work will be much lighter. Rev. Marks can rest assured that he not only has the best wishes, but the heartfelt prayers of our people here for his success in his new field of labor, and may he have many sheaves for his hire. Never was pastor and people more endeared to each other,and the separation is not only of sorrow and sadness, but it is ex tremely painful to many. Such is the Christian's life. "My grace is sufficient for thee," says God. Yet alittle while, a very little while, if ws are faithful, and we will have been done with all these sad pains and partings- "What I do now, thou knowest not, but thou shalt know hereafter." Glorious thought! If some potent power or influence, could be brought ter bear on the busi ness men of this place that would cre ate as intense and lively interest in manufacturing enterprises as exists on chicken enterprises, it would not be long before we would have a cotton mill, oil mill, canning factory, and similar industries, with a teeming busy population. Gentlemen, we might just as well meet the facts squarely, and unless some manufacturing enterprise, or similar industry is taken hold of and pressed to a successful issue, the growth and prosperity of this town is doomed for some time. Other points, and other men will reap the benefits which prop erly belong here. During this season, at least 1,000 bales of cotton which geo graphically belong to this market, have been diverted to other markets. This is only the beginning. The cause is patent to the most casual observer. But one says the new R. R., will right these things. Not a whit of it. The Railroad company will build their road, but will not build our town. In all probability the train will be run ning on this new road to this place in less than ninety days, and what are the signs and tokens of inmprovement and progress in consequence thereof? How many joint stock companies have been chartered or even formed? How many new industries even in embryo? How many new streets have been opened? How many new buildings erected? How many lots even have been sold? What, we ask, has been done? The Farmers' Alliance ware house is the only living evidence of any public spirit or enterprise. In a letter of this character, a letter of simple, brief "ondits," we can do nothing more than hint at these things. It would require much space to lay them before the public as they should be. The facts, although are the same, and we may now be calm and serene, but the time is not far distant when we will not be, unless something is done, as indicated.

Bowen, who had just returned from Fort Hill, where he had attended the meeting of the executive committee of Clemson College, of which he is a member. The meeting of the committee was for the purpose of looking over the property, selecting sites for the buildings, and ascertaining generally the best mode of procedure in the building of the col lege and structures, and also- to decide upon plans and specifications, etc. The State will furnish fifty convicts to work in the preparation of the planta tionl and houses. It was found that the lumber and brick could be obtained on the property. A committee of three will be sent to Mississippi to examine and ascertain the methods of the management of the Agricultural College in that State. The next meeting of the commnittee will be held at Pendleton. The Colonel informed us that in look ing over the register at Fort Hill he found that between 1,500 and 2040 people had visited that noted and hon ored old place since July last.
