THE TME HAS COME. Twenty-five thousand dollars, at . .ieitside, would buy the Mollohon ' Iock. Many of our citizens have yong cherished the hope that they would live to see the Public Square enlarged by converting Molloholi k into public property; and e h succeeding fire in that block opened the discussion of the qestion, whether it would not be . se for the town to buy the prop ey.Last Thursday night the . cnssion was renewed by a forci b Inot unanswerable, argument in favor of the project. Not one e' nlete building is left on the sgdain, and the property is cheaper than it will ever be again. lf anything is to be done in this ua te, it should be done immedi atel ' for every additional nail that is driven into the Crotwell atoNi.will add to the cost of the p , y. With that block of bQMing out of the way, the frame iin below Ma3tin's, which are owatinder-box,-would be replaced "-dishandsome brick stores. The o el1 Hotel would stand on JIokon Row; and we would have a town as any other in the 7 g. Besides, the Public Square - 'ra-9snal as to render travel, at t Umee,;abmost impossible. This dis advantage has often been experienc ed by our country friends in mar keting season. perhaps the weightiest'con sideration is this. The fire fiend aese. to have determined that Toohon Block shall not stand. The stores there have been so ebwded together that it was almost 4adebe to burn one without ~est*oying others. Most of our destructive fires-all within thie yeie-have originated in Mollohoi Bloik; and, owing to the narrow nes-of the streets, every fire there Ansiersthe. whole town. Now thasihe buildings are in ruins, let the ruins be -scattered and the squnare made public. The property can be bought and theytewn -should be willing to pay 1-that -cannot be made up by rivrate subscription. The Singley lots could not be sold without an ordero Court; but that could be obtened without difficulty by the proper parties. The opening -of this square would greatly increase the value of ~the property lying ad. Jacent and facing towards it *on three sides, and there is no doubt thaL the owners of this property would subscribe liberally to instire the success of the project. Yes, th'ething can be done; and it ought to be done. Moreover, if it is not done now, it will be needless to re open the discussion hereafter. Let us have breathihg space. AN INEBRIATE ASYLUM. We hope that the legislature, in its wisdom, will soon see the im portance of establishing an ine-' briate asylum in our State. Such an institution, if not a popular ne eessity, would be a lasting public benefii. and it would be in the line of that wise and humane policy which has shown itself in the es. tablishment of various public chari ties in this and other christian countries. It is pitiful that a com munity must stand silently by, in very helplessness, and see the in. ebria*e going steadily from bad to worse and trying to quench the hell of thirst that rages within him, when well directed public effort might bring about.his reform. Society deserves to be protected against the habitual drunkard; and he should be protected against himself. An asylum for inebriates would be auxiliary to the State Lunatic Asylum; and we feel con fident that we express the sentiment of -this community when we advo cate its establishment. A bill is now before the legisla ture of Georgia, providing for the erection of an Inebriate Asylum in that State. The bill grew out of a -petition from the Georgia Medical Association, in which is this sug gestive paragraph : Inebriate asylums have been in -operation for more than a quarter of a century. In 1882 there were ~ wen&y-two in England. In 1877 there were twenty-four in operation += a TTenitedStatea and inne more in process of organization. The careful compilation of statiedics on the subject shows t # an je a army of inebriates me, r&ig to various estimates, from 25 to 50 per cent. of the insanity of the world, from 30 to 80 per cent. of idiocy, from 60 to 80 per cent. of pauperism. and froin~70 to 90 per cent. of crime. The splendid work done by the two fire companies 'last Thursday nigh k and the. heroic exertions of other citizens who are members of neither, deserve the very highest commendation. The 'Excelsiors" did all that was possible in the ab sence of water facilities, and the Hook and Ladder Company spared no effort in battling with the flames. It is unfortunate that the latter company is not more thoroughly equipped with ladders, and other needed appliances. We think it would pay the town to furnish the colored company with a hand en gine, and thus enable it to do more effectual service. Of course this would cost 'something; but many persons questioned the wisdon and propriety of buying a steam fire en gine, on the ground that it would cost something.- Now the unan imous verdict of the town is that "Young John" has more than paid the one mill tax. THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE. One week ago a strike was made -y the Brotherhood of Telegraphers. embracing the thousands ,of opera tors in the service of the ..Western Union Telegraph Company; and since that time telegraphic com munication has been in breat meas ure cut off. They demand a total abolition of Sunday work, unless compensated as extra service; that eight hours shall constitute a regular day's work and seven hours a night's work; that both sexes shall receive equal pay for equal work; and fifteen per cent. increase of salaries. This is the most serious conflict ever witnessed in our country between capital and labor. On one side is the Western Union monop oly worth eighty millions' of capital;. on the other, are thousands of laborers holding out with grim determination. And, in spite of the great inconvenience that results to the country from-the strike, pub lic sympathy is with the strikers. They have justice on their side, and it is to be hoped that they will win. The New York Tigtes says : . This is no ordinary .striken The Brotherhood of Telegraphers is not a rabble of workmen misled by demagogues, but a body of intelli gent men and women,-quite capable of thinking for themselves, who know very weTn that their -employ ers' business is in a condition of prosperity out.of all keeping with the miserable scale of wages paid them. They have bad the public sympathy froilr: the -start, because the publie itself has repeatedly suf fered the.- grossest wrongs at the hands of the Western Union Tele graph Company. ~The group of reckless and greedy m,en who con trol the -company have inflated its stock enormously, and to still.furth er increase their gains they have in a similar ratio 'reduced the wages of their 'operators. Men grown valuable to the. company by long experience are receiving smaller pay than they received ten years ago. Their work is extremely ardu ous and exhausting. It requires a high order of skill and more than average intelligence. Yet the tele graph operators of :New York City are paid.smaller wages than masons, plasterers, carpenters, plumbers, painters or barkeepers. Compare the wages paid to la borers in these trades -with those-of the telegraphers. Good masons are now paid in this city from $3 50 to $4 per day; plasterers the same; carpenters, $2 50 to $3 50; plum bers, $4; house-painters. $4; ordi nary workmen in these trades, $2 to $2 50; shoemakers, $10 to $15 per week; cutters of ready-made cloth ing, $18 to $25 per week; bar keepers. $15 to $20 per week. Now, the highest salary paid skilled tele graph operators in New York is $80 per month, and the average wages paid is $53, or $13 per week, $1 90~ per day. But telegraph op erators are not in the category of ordinary laborers. It necessaril costs them more to live than it coh a mason or a carpenter. They must dress better and live in a more expensive manner. It would be idle to ignore the differences which separate . their occupation from that of mechanics. The Western Union Company. by virtue of its practical monopoly, has attempted to force its employ ees to accept a rate of wages un justly low. The market has not been an open one between employer and employed, for the company, being master of the field and absolutely without scruple as 'to the kind of service it gave the public, has been able to discharge men who were discontented, replacing them with inferior operators and boys. NEW YORK, July 16.-Last Sat urday the fruit inspectors seized 30,000 watermelons brought from the South by the Savannah Steam ship company. They claimed that the melons were rotten and unfit for use. The consig'nees deny this, but say the fruit is a little cracked from handling. They are in comn munication 'with te lhealth authieri THE NEGRO CONVENTION. On the 18th seventyihree del a froma tweaty counties- and: lming to represent the..colored people of this State, assemibled in the negro Methodist Chnreh .in Columbia, for pruposes ber-t known to themselves. The convention elected delegates ti the colored convention in Louisville, to mis fepresent 'the colored - people of this State. The following remark able addi-ess was adopted affd pub lished: - THE ADDRESS OF THE tOM31ITTEE. We, the' committee appointed by the Convention on address and res olutions, beg leave to report the following: Fully recognizing the importance of the purpose for which we have come together and knowing the allegiance we owe in common to our country. can find no better opportunity of presenting our grievances than in convention as sembled, believing that the prin ciples of equal civil and political rights are vital. to the interest of good government, and that they can only be enforced by the carry ing out of the priciples engrafted by our fathers in the organic law of our land as set forth in the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. Recog nizing only the common brother hood of men, we, as a race, are in debted to the Republican party for free citizenship and the partial en joyment of the rights thereto. We believe that the full enjoyment of each and every right can only be obtained by the continuance in power of a party whose aims ate to protect all and - proscribe none. While acknowledging the benefits received, we are compelled to indict the Republican party for its omis sions in the past six years, as far as it-relates to its administration in connection with out race. We con demn the action of the National Republican party in conferring every office of honor, emolument or trust upon white men to the exclu sion and detriment of our race. We wish the American people to understand and be informed that we are cursed with the most dam nable form of State Governmen+ to which a free people have ever been subjected. By legislation the right to enjoyment of an honest vote and a fair count has been taken from us. The right of a fair trial by an impartial jury is denied us. The rights of our people in the- civil and criminal. side of the Courts are not protected The verdicts of the ju ries and the sentences of the Courts are determined by the condition and color of the parties accused of crime. The lynching of our peo ple for spspected offences has be come prevalent in this State, and its tendency' being to disorganize and disrupt- communities, promote crime and place law and order-at defiance, we feel called upon to de nounce in unmeasured terms, such flagranst,and so far unpunished viola tions of law. Our public sc'hool system is by noF' means -efficient. 'The schools are in operation but a few months during each year. Inefficient teach ers are largely employed for the. sake of cheapness, and they say on secount of poverty, not being able to await . payment, arge fre quently under the necessity of sell ing their claims at a discount. Th.e 'best qualifred teachers, on accounit of their meagreness of sairies-and the shortness of the session of the school, are forced- to forsake the field of instruction and follow other avocations. The piesent system of hiring out and . working convicts, upon any other than public works we con demn. While we cannot deny the power of the Legislature to enact laws to the detriment of even con victs, yet we would set upon them the seal of condemnation and ask the Legislature to wipe out ,th iniquitous system at its earliest ses sion. As representatives of that race most victimized by the avaric4 and greed of heartless corporationsi and individuals, we thank the press of the .State.fop the unanimity with which they have -.condemned .and stigmatized this inhuman and bar barous system. CHmcaGO, July 13-John- Paul Logan of St. Paul has the follow ing card in the Times: -"I will igy $1,000 reward to any mob who will lynch a white man for murdering a negro in the South. The. -daily lynching of negroes is like the handle of a jug-all on one side. Jus't -to vary the monotony and see a refreshing change, I will send the above amount to any en terprising Southern mob who will change 4the. programme for once aud giver a white murderer a piece of rope. I suggest that the County Sheriff where' the mob operates should be elected Captain of the mob, and au thorized -to draw on me for ,$1.000, which will be paid "spot cash" at the First* National Bank of St. Paul iramediately upon receipt of credible information that the mob has "changed the programme." I am heartily disgusted with your "nigger" corpses. Now let your irrepressible, great American mob bestir themselves and give us one white corpse for breakfast, and the very devils in hell will rise up and thank them." The fool.killer of John Paul Lo gan's State is neglecting his duty. In an extract from the Netes and Conier, relating:to the Columbia canal, last week, these words should have appeared. instead of what .we actually printed: -"The bank is to be five feet higher than the highest water ever known in the Congaree." The bank is to be thirty-one feet boad.*t the top. - tis said that l'ilden is willing' The argument in the trial of Ex Treasurer Polk was concluded on the 23d. BUTLER'S Bil!. When Senatoi Butler took hold of the road pioblem, many predict ed that he had "bit off more than he could chaw." His second letter has appeared. After quoting the road law he says: .: Whb feels inclined - to bodge a complaint upon..which. an indict ment can be foundedagainst commis sionerK who 'have done their: best toI discharge their dities faithfully ?' A still- more ungraeious piece of business would it be to arraign a siperintendent or overseer, who may be your neighbor and friend, serving without pay and perhaps against his will, for it appears he must serve if appointed, although he may be disqualified by want of experience or otherwise for the place. The "penalties" are prac tically dead letters. -A "hand" may go upon the road, carrying a hoe broken at both corners, a worthless shovel or axe or mattock, cut a few bushes, dig a little earth, open a drain or two, all of which may be wholly ineffectual in improving the road, and yet he .has complied with the letter of the law. He may never travel the road once ia twelve months.' He may not own a vehicle in which to travel, and a mule path would answer his purposes as well as a macadamized road; but how are you going to reach him ? He has responded to the "warning" of the overseer, who was "required" by the superintendent, who was "order ed" by the commissioners, and he. has worked the road. Such divi sion of responsibility in public administration will take the mar row out of iany law. There never was a truer maxim than the trite one, "What is everybody's business is nobody's business," and this road law is. a striking example of it. I have endeavored to state it fairly. I have stated it fairly because I have taken it from the book, and have given all that appears to me material to a full understanding of its scope. I wish it to be understood that in criticising the law I am not reflecting upon the.,men charged with its execution. I have no doubt they are generally as good men as the country affords. I am dealing with principles, not men, and in no spirit of mere fault-finding and cap tious criticism. for I have lived Jag enough to learn that nothing is easier than to find fault with and pick to pieces any system of laws created by mai; -and few things more' difficult than to substitute something better. In this case, however, I trust I shall be able to suggest an improvement, but be fore entering upon that I will en deavor to show, approxim'ately at least, what our public roads now cost the peopl of the State. MI. C. BUTLER, The following extract from an address~ delivered, in Monmtgomery Alabama by Mr. Furman, of Geor gia. will be interesting to farmers: Five years ago I'selected sixty acres of the pooresti and in middle. Georgia, five acres being red clay, twenty-five sandy surface with clays subsoil near the surface, and about one half of thirty beinig sandy piney woods land without. any clay within' several feet of the surface, I cul tivated this carefully the ,first year without manure, and ma.de on it eight bales of cottion. The second year I applied 500 pounds of com post per acre, consisting of six bushels cotton seed, six bushels stable and lot manure, and 140 pounds chemical, costing two dol lars per acre, making the cost 'of manure used on the sixty "acres $190.. The crop was twelve bales. of cotton, averaging 470 pounds and bringing $47 per bale-giving four bales of cotton increase, or in money '$188. and leaving a profit on its-use, after paying for the manure, of $68, or about 60 .per, cent. The third yea,r I. doubled the manure, using 1,000 pounds per acre, cost ing on the 60 acres. in the aggre gate,' $240, and the crop' nearly doubled, rising to 23 - bales and giving an. increase of 15 bales, worth $675, with a profit -from the use of' the manure of-$45, or near ly 200 lier cent. on the' money in vested 'in manure. The Yourth year I doubled the application again, with an aggregate cost of $480, and this .time the crop was little over doubled, being for this year 47 bales; the increase over the 'first year be ing 39 bales. worth $7,755, leaving a profit of $1.275, or nearly 300 per cent. on the investment. 'The fifth or last year I again doubled the nanure, using 4,000 pounds to the acre, c'osting altogether $960, and the crop harvested was 70 bales cot ton and 500 bushels oats; five acres of the land having been planted fi'rst in oats and afterwards in cot ton, with a yield of 500 bushels oats and 7). bales of cotton. Put ting, the oats at 60 cents per bushel, the money value of this crop was $3,450, leaving a profit on invest ment in manure of $2,490, or a per centage of profit of nearly 260 per cent. This paragraph from the Green ville Newcs has the right ring; it sounds just as if it had been writ ten, for this community; and we so strongly approve it that we give it the emphasis of italics: Some prompt and rigorous steps ought to be taken to stretch some b,oy'fs neck. Incen,diary fres are en tirely too frequen~t. .A large reward can be 'raised w-ithout trouble, 'and wordud possibly bring some hidden things to light. A negro man and a white woman have been committed to jail in Greenville, for setting fire to' out houses on a farm. SIX STORES IN ASHES! MOLLOHON BLOCK BURNED-FIFTY FEET OF HOSE NEEDED-GAL LANT WORK BUT LITTLE WATER - INSURANCE $44,450 ! The six two-story brick stores that were left standing on Mollo hon Block, when East's Drug Store was burned, are in ruins, and. the destruction of the block of buildings is at last com plete. Last Thursday night be tweenten and 'eleven o'clock, the attention of Messrs. George John stone and L. K. Vance, who were on the Public Square, was attracted by an unusual, bright light in a room over the store of Wright & Coppock. The fire alarm was imme diately given, and the store broken open. But the fire had made con siderable headway inside, and was soon bursting out from the stores occupied by Wright & Coppock and Flynn. The Excelsior Fire Com pany was promptly on the scene with the engine, which was stationed. at a small cistern behind Mrs. Mower's store, from which place a stream of water was thrown upon Martin's large brick store, which was blazing in several places, and the law office of Suber & Caldwell.. Here the engine dide incalculale' service, for had Martin's store burned, there is littledoubt that every house would have been laid in ashes from the Opera House to the Crotwell Hotel, including the latter. The supply of water in the cistern was soon exhausted, and the engine was - moved with great promptness to a large well at the livery stables of H. H. Blease, and then to Scott Creek, 1,000 feet distant from the fire. By this time there was no hope of saving any of the five stores fronting on the Pub lie Square and constituting Mobo hon .Row, and all efforts were cen tered upon the store of Simeon Pratt, occupied by the Wheeler Brothers. The hose of the engine was :50 feet too short; and the stream of water could not do effectual service. It was thrown upon the unfinished stores of A. J. Crotwell, which hAve a basin-like roof, and the gutters being stopped the water was caught up in buckets and used on the fire. The Hook and Ladder Company of colored boys did gallant service, but it is not well equipped. ,The flames did not take hold of the Pratt building for several hours after the fire was discovered and it couldhave been saved, if there had been an ade quate supply of water. But, after fighting well and desperately for three hours, the firemen had the mortification of seeing this store in flameo. The Newberry Hotel was sep arated from one of the hottest fires Newberry ever saw, by a street 30 feet' wide, and we expected every minute to -see It: ignite. Messrs. Schumpert & Pool organized a squad of men and placed them on the Hotel, where they fought the fire with' water and wet blankets. Their efforts, together with a row of sniall shade trees running along the:side of the building, saved the Hotel. The five stores on Mollohon Row were eccupied by D. C. Flynn dry goods; Wi-ight & Coppock clothing and -furnishing goods; .Peoples & Johnson-hardware; 0. H. P. Fant-groceries; and George McWhirter-groceries. The first three belonged to R. H. Wright and the: othier two to the estate of Jacob. Singley. The sixth store, fronting on Pratt St., was occupied by Wheeler Brothers-confection dries. LOSS AND INsURANcE. Flynn's stock, valued at from five to six thousand dollars, was in sured for $4,000; $2,000 in the Phpnix Co., London, and $1,000 each in the Queen, London, and the Oinderwriters, N.. Y., E. A. Scott, agent. He saved all lyis books, but' a very small portion of his stock. W~right .& Coppock's stock, val ueAl at about $9,000, was insured for $7,500; $1,500 with S. P. Boozer & Son, agents, in the Hartford; $3,000 with same agents in the North American, and $3,000 with J. F. Glenn, agent, in the Home, N. Y. The firm saved a portion of the best class of their goods, but the safe containing their books remained in 'the fire. Mr. Wright's three store were in sured for $8,000; $4,000 with Booz er & Sdn, agents, in the Liverpool, London and Globe, and $4,000 with ~Jas: F. Glenn, in the Lancashire. The loss was about covered. Peoples & Johnson had $7,000 on their stock; $1,000 in the British American, F. Werber; $1,000 in the Commercial Union, W. T. Tarrant; $2,000 in the Home, N. Y., and $1,000 in the Standard; London, Jas. F. Glenn; $1,000 in the Under writers, E. A. Scott, and $1,000 in the North American, with S. P. Boozer & Son. This firm saved a show case, a sma~ll part of the stock, and safe containing books and papers. It had just. taken stock and the loss will be easily adjusted. 0. H. P. Fant's stock was intsur cd for $4,000; $2,000 in the British American, F. Werber, Jr.,and $-2,000 in the Home, N. Y., Ja.s. F. Glenn. Nothing saved. Loss about cover ed. George McWhirter's stock was insured for $4,000; $2,000 each in the British American and the Mer chants. Newark, F. Werber, Jr. He saved $500 or $600 . worth of goods, and all his books, except the cash book. The stores'occupied by the two last firms were insured for $5,000, with Mower & Jones; $2,000 in the Imperial; $1,000 in the Georgia Home, and $2,000 in the German American. The Wheeler Brothers' stock was insured.for $1,875; $750 in the Mer chants, F. Werber, Jr., and $1,125 in the Home, N. Y. Jas. F. Glenn. They saved a considerable portion of 4heir stock This store was insured for $2,650, with Mower & Jones, in the Georgia Home. The building cost $3,000. Dr. E. C. Jones had a dental office, and Messrs. Purcell and Kel ley had bed rooms. over Wheeler Bros. Dr. Jones saved most of his instruments, .,he was insured for $425. The other gentlemen saved nearly all their clothing. The insurance amounted alto gether to- $44,450. Iley Fant and R. C. Maybin, who had bed rooms in'the Singley build ing lost their furniture and clothing. No insurance. J.F. J. Caldwell, Esq., lost some law papers, by removal, and W. W. Hodges and E. M. Evans lost some notes and accounts in the fire. H. H. Evans, as agent for the Singer Co., lost several thousand dollars worth of goods. There are practically no stores for rent in town, and the conse quences of the fire will be serious to the merchants who suffered, as well as to the number of clerks thrown out of employment for the time. It is not known certainly whether the fire began over Wright & Cop pock's,. or over Flynn's, or over both at the same time. However that maj be, the rooms over these stores were unoccupied, and the origin of the fire* is wrapped in mystery. We incline to the opin ion, and we are not alone, that New berry will continue to have fires whose origin is in mystery, unjess we vary the monotony by introduc ing a few hangings and breaking a neck occasionally. COLrMBIA, July 20.-There was a fire in Greenville last night about 11 o'clock, which destroyed the block of buildings opposite the Mansion House, nearly up to the old Commercial Hotel, which was formerly kept by Col.
