Wo should also have published the article from tho Nows in tho same commotion, but omittod lo do do so from uninten tional oversight.

C., imposes a negro upon tho pooplo of a town of about (ive thou sand inhabitants. Such au appointment would novor bo thought of for a moment for a town of similar size in Ohio or any othor Northern State. In tho light of tho unfortunate results attending the appointment of tho negro llakor as postmaster at Lake City, Uns last ap pointment shows a determination by tho present administration to punish tho pcoplo of South Carolina by imposing obnoxious poisons upon tho citizens whenovor tho opportunity otters. What ever deplorable results may follow snell appointments must bo charged hugely to tho appointing power. McKinloy can not shirk a Sharo of tho responsibility. Of courso it is to hoped that the law abiding citizens of floronco will soo to it that thoro is no repetition of tho Lake City affair, for tho sake of their own good name and that of tho State. Lot pationt endurance bo exercised, re membering that next year the regime in Washington may bo removed, and along with it all such obnoxious Federal offi cials. ___________________ A Million Goos Up in Smoke. TOLEDO, OHIO, .Inly 23.-Thc Cincin nati, Hamilton and Dayton elevator, located in East Toledo, was totally des troyed by tho to-night and Ibo loss on building and contontsds nearly a million dollars, lt is not known bow much in surance is on thc iHKI.IKH) bushels of wheat, but on tho building thoro is ?185,000 in various companies. Tho olovatorhas been unusually busy for tho past two weeks and was working night and day to store tho IBO cars of wheat which aro received daily. The faqt that this was Sunday prevented the loss of lifo which would otherwise have followed, for tho men quit work early, and had been out of tho placo about two hours. A small blazo in tho cupola was seen from tho outside by a passer by. A firo alarm was turned in, but before the de yudmont could reach the place a terrille )sion occurred that rocked the foun |i of surrounding buildings. Tho biirVtng was almost immediately onvel oped%n flames and Mithin ton minutes another and moro tor ri (le explosion oc curred, whio.ll tere out tho entire side of tho building near tho river, and it was this explosion that hurled tho watchman, W. E. Welch, who was in tho building, out of tho Hames and saved bis life. Ile was only slightly injured. Tho building was a mass of ruins in half an hour after tho first blaze was noticed. An olovator owned by this company was burned on the samo site four years ago, and tho presen' building was built, to bo the moat complote and most por ted in tho country. It was provided with ovory appliance to prevent loss by Uro, and to-night's lire is a great sur prise. Thc building had a capacity of ono million bushels, and within a few days would havo carried its eapaeity, Tho actual loss to tho company will be in tho noigoborhood of ?75, Ol in, while Ibo grain, which is on consignment, will bo almost a total loss to the shipper. The quickness to tho Uro leads to (he opinion that nomo of the grain will bo saved in a damaged condition.
