It is important tliat tho Democratic Organization bo mndo perfect at an early day. All tho clubs should meet, elect thoir officers, revise thoir rolls, and see that thoir members are properly regis tered. Thorough and immediate regis li a turi, of all our voters is imperative. Tho onemy is on the alert. It is highly probnblo that the Republicans will have a full ticket in the field for all Federal offices, and possibly a candidato for Qov ornor. We learn that secret Republican meetings uro being held throughout the county, and there will doubtless ho a Ropublican candidato for Congress from this District. IndifTcronco and supineness should no longer find a place among us. ?'lin great democratic strength in this County and 1 Congressional District is calculated to ?uake us over confident and therefore in different to our danger. It should not ho ( forgotten thai the majority of Congress is how Republican, and that majority is hoing steadily increased hy unseating Democratic Congressmen from Southern ?States in favor of tho Ropublican contest- i ante, in many instances on the slenderest , protoxts. Hosnies, it is possiblo, if not . probable, that the partisan devices of the Republicans in the shape of Federal elec tion bills, introduced in the present Con- i gross, will become a law. These meas ures, when adopted, will prove domoral- i izlng to the peace and welfare of the pcoplo and tho good of the country, Ilonco the prime importance of having every Democrat properly registered and ready to east his vote with the certainty that it will be technically correct and legally count eil. Lot each ?md every Democratic club in tho county call a meeting at once and perfect its organization. Thou lot every mau soc to it that his registration certifi cat* '8 in looper shape as required hy law. All who have come of age si nco tho last election should join some club and register. Do so without delay. It is a hoalthy condition ot public opinion when all the people think and act for themselves in their political mal tors. Let every man real i ze that he has a personal interest in tin' welfare of his country toni (Urti his vote and voice are potent for j^fiod or evil. We watti no drones lmp'Taggards in thc political hive. AU shuful'l I"' earnest workers tor tito eonyx??m good. Faithful let every man Jb/fffound in tin- discharge ol' his political ''duties and responsibilities, knowing that eternal vigilance is t he price of liberty. Flood Sufferers. Tho waste O? water continues to grow wider in (he lower Mississippi Valley, and it beggars language to describe the desolation which has come upon the flooded districts. New breaks have been of frequent occurrence during the past wcok, and in places great terror and con fusion prevail. Il is estimated that some 00,000 pcoplo have boon rendered desti tute hy the Hood, while cattle have per isled hy hundreds and thousands. Congress has donated $125,000 to dis tribute rations for the relief of these des titute pcoplo, while government stentners aro plying up and down the river attempt ing to stop the breaks in the levees with great undresses made of willow trees, bags of sand ami rocks. Thus tho government touches this problem when it is too late to prevent disaster. Hut half waked up, ?1 has at last undertaken to "issue rations'" to tho half-drowned thousands, because it is said the "necessity is immediate." Then is great, ado just now about lighting hack the waters, wheii all thc annies of Alex ander the Oreat could not stay thc Mood. ' Hut the ipiestion which presses upon our mind is, w hy does not tho govern ment take hohl of this .Mississippi pro blom in earnest before thc day of disas ter and desolation comes ? Instead of "issuing rations and tents" to the hun gry and homeless survivors, why not en deavor to keep thc waters of this mighty river within hounds p The experience of oight years ago is being repeated. In 1882 over $2,000,()00 worth of property was destroyed, and thousands of people, black and white, wi re reduced to desti tution, 'f'he Hood of thal year was de scribed as unprecedented; hut the del uge this year promises to he even linne destructivo, t !oilgl ess t hen appropriated ovor $200,000 for relief of tho sufferers. It is true that within- (he last eight years large sums ol' money and untold labor has hoon expended in building new levees and strengt helling thc old ones, hut this has hecn done mainly hy Un people of the Stales so sorely llfllictcd, the Federal Government doing hut little to stay the destructive Hoods. The experience of the last ten years proves that Congress should no longer delay in making provision against the floods. This, il anything can he. is a vital problem, affect lng Hie w hole people of this nation who are called upon to aid I in its solution, (inly Hie nation is eipial to it. Should a foreign enemy land upon our shores and do onc-toiltll the injury this O Vd'Oowing river does, there would bc no lack of men or nnmcy to vanquish him. As lo what is Hie practical solu tion of this problem, wo do liol pretend to know, hut certainly some!liing worthy tho energy, genius, wealth, and science of our nation should he done, not after the Hood comes, hut before, lt is tin business of the government to "set to" in earnest ftboui this matter, and if it docs not already know what to do, i; undoubtedly should lind out. hot then bo an (md of shoveling simd into w ide crevasses ami telegraphing for sacks. Speaker Heed made i ranting speech at Pittsburg, Ha., hist Saturday ?it tho Americus Club dinner, w hich proves him to be a demagogue of the worst type. It is certainly very unbecoming in one who is Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives to go to a social gathering and maliciously charge the Southern people with lying as he did. It is the purpose of Mr. Iteed and his party to make the South do what they w ill no! do them selves. They arc full of loud profes sions of love for (he negro in (he South, which really is nothing hut love foi self and tho), own party supremacy. |,e( Afr.

Disastrous Firo In Moncra. BKK;,? A, S. C., April 2811?, 1800. YoBtorday morning at tw> o'clock ; firo broke out in tho post oflicc and ? tho building was soon wrapped in Hames. Tho store room of Miss , Ribbon Phillips & Co. soon caught j and from that tho Hames wore com- 1 municatcd to tho store of S. P. | Wakefield, colored. These build- < ings being of wood, burned rapidly. < Across thc street thc brick building , of Lowery & Hamilton, occupied hy ( Q. P. Bacon, caught by thc ?loor \ and windows on that side. South of | the post ollico the barber shop of | C. Walden caught quickly, and , from it thc drug store of Dr. S. J. | MoElroy caught firo. North of Mr, ? Bacon's a photographer tent of W. | F. Taylor, with nearly all of its con tents, was consumed. J. C. Cary's , oflioo and the Kcoweo Hotel were ? saved by tho hardest work and great . daring. Thc building of Warren > Phillips, West of Bacon's store, t caught fire once or twice, but tho , wind being favorable, tho tire was i easily extinguished. (.Jignilliat's j building, on the corner, was in some . danger, bul was not damaged. In | [til there were six buildings and a ? teilt burnt. Nearly everybody < worked faithfully, both in saving | goods and buildings. Some of our , most level-headed citizens firmly be- ? ii?Vo that thc fire wtis of incendiary origin, whilo others think it was ac- i cidcnlal. Tho loss is quito heavy. ' In thc post ofilco everything was do- j itroyed except what was in thc safe, . ami tho stamps in it were badly dam- j aged. W. F. Taylor, jeweler, who had his place of business in the post oflicc building, lost in stock and tools, including his photograph tout and . contents, about $500; no insurance. Walden saved all his effects. Mc Klroy & Co. had a $2,500 stock and wore insured for $1,500. They MVed about $500. Miss Phillips' 1 Imihling was worth about $800 and < was insured for $450. She had in i dock about $1,500 and saved some i 3?400 worth; no insurance on stock. 1 Wakefield had about $2,500 worth i if goods and only saved $800 or $100 I worth; insured for $1,200. O, F. ( Bacon lind about $??1,500 and saved i irohably $1,000, no insurance. Low- C .rv & Hamilton's loss on building is (bout ?1,600 with no insurance. The Hine Ridge Pities had their ar nory in the hall over Wakefield's itoro and lost all their guns and lecoiitreinonts. The Wakefield store the post ollico building, thc bur ier shop and the drug store (donged to J. C. Cary, and vero worth about, $8,000; insur uiec $1,000.

Correspondence Oreen ville Daily News. J SUN KOA, S. C., April 28.-One lido of thc public square of this own is in ashes. About 2 o'clock Minday morning lire was discovered II thc post oflicc. As soon as the darin was given citizens, white and adored, hurried to thc scone. The mst ollico and four other adjoining I Udldings hoing wood, no effort could j ave them. While some of the men --and women ton-put their oner- j ;ies lo saving goods from thc burn ng buildings, others with equal ardor md with unselfishness rarely seen, vorked to save the adjoining pro ie rty. Thc Kcoweo Hotel, th" aide of thc town and one of tho argest buildings in tho country, was inmediately in thc rear. Fortu lalely a light rain had just fallen md there was very little wind ami hat blowing from thc hold. By tlmosl superhuman efforts a wooden varohousc intervening was saved. Hld thus the hotel, though blistered Hld scorched, still stands. In the ippositc direction, (hough fought villi equal d?termination, thc li?mes, aimed by a slight hreeze, made more icadwav. The milli -ry establish-1 neut ol' .Miss Phillips, next to the mst oflicc, and the grocery store of iVakcfield, over which was tho irmory of the Mountain Billes, soon ! iticcumbed. F.ffort was made mostly) o save thc goods from those stores, 'cw thinking thc lire would spread 'arther, these buildings being on a .orner and across one street being a iriok building and across another a \ 'rame building covered with tin. So ? info did all feel that Mr. Bacon, the I U'Oprictor of tho only acctipicd store I ll tho brick building, was assisting 0 save thc go, ls of others. Pnfor- ? Ulialcly a door and window opened . owards tho wooden building occu- I tied by Wakefield and tho nrmory. Slot being provided with shutters, ho heat soon cracked thc glass and tot fire to thc contents of the build? Hg. Mr. Bacon and his little son iccupiod tho rear room of thc build ng and lost nearly all their furni ,urc and personal effects, in addition o throe-fourths of a $8,000 stock of ?foods, on which was no insurance. Thc next store room was unoccupied, mil thc Structure hoing of brick and laving a solid wall on thc North ride, aided the volunteer firemen in [irOVOnting further spread. Thc uljoining buildings were kept cov ored with wot blankets, and though tiley caught tiro in sovcrnl placo?, wore easily ?saved. Tims, oftor throo hours' liard fighting, in winch whito and colored, with few exception?, vied with oacli other in deeds of daring and uncalculating devotion to linty, the fire fiend was conquered. Tlic remark, "Seneca knows how to light a fire," was overheard by thc writer who noted that for inexperi enced mon without leaders, they did remarkably well. At the wells of he neighboring heusen vessels wore kopt fillod with waler and from these nen, in many instances unused to manual labor, kept a constant supply >f well filled buckets which were missed up to those doing no less important work in saturating tho roofs of buildings. While deploring thc loss of indi viduals, it is believed the fire will bc i benefit to thc town. It swept out \ row of unsightly wooden buildings, which were a standing monaco to lurrounding property. A town or linanco forbids tho erection of wooden buildings oil tho square, so it is probable tho burnt district will soon lill up with brick store rooms, Lhus giving as pretty a public square is can bo found. Then, too, our dlizens learned several lessons per taining to lires which they will not mon forgot. One is, "always carry insurance." Besides this others, including Messrs. Kirkscy, R. B. Hays, and ?f. I. Neville, lost heavily by moving foods from buildings in danger of icing burned. The total loss will itnotint lo something like $15,000; nsurance $4,550, -.*?- - - Tillman's l'lan of Campaign I'O UK A UK A NO Kl) AT COl.UMHIA ON ll IK S10CO M ) OK MAY.
