The bell should be rung until the fire is under control. The editors of the State are indebted to the proprietors of White Stone Lithia Springs, and to the citizens of the town of Union, for hospitalities, which were greatly appreciated. At the White Stone hotel they spent three days enjoying the delightful accommodations, abundant excellent fare, and health giving water, and on j the last night of their stay were enter- i tained at the delightful supper given in : their honor by the proprietors. All present were of the opinion that | the hotel is the best summer hotel in this State. Large, high, roomy, ex ceedingly well ventilated, cool, and as neat as can be, it is an exceedingly at tractive resort for all persons who de sire h change from the hurry and cares business. And for those who need medicinal water, tin* bubbling spring affords it in abundance. As to the people of Union, their hos pitality and enterprise were shown in what they did for the press association. On Wednesday afternoon a special train was sent to A\ hito Stone, and aU the newspaper men and women carried to Union. At the station they were met by a committee of the citi zens with forty-one carriages and driven over the town; then to the club, where they were very hospitably entertained ; and then carried back to A\ bit;* Stone The hospitality of the tizens of Union was spontaneous and Hail; and their enterprise iafcn- ig the" association was trol the. search until the body wa. found, and I intend to fully investigate the crime without fear or favor and hope to avoid trouble.

Magistrate.“ On receipt of this letter the governor wired Solicitor Hildebrand at Orange burg requesting him to attend the in quest at Eutawville on Wednesday, and the governor will do his utmost to as sist the magistrate and solicitor in find ing and prosecuting the members of the mob. Governor Heyward is utterly disgus ted with the frequencj of lynchings within the past few weeks arid feels that be is doing everything In his power to check it. but realizes that, after all, the whole matter is with the juries. AS TO BIENNIAL SESSIONS. Coinmfjiii J'ecnrrf. Taking a broad view of the political situation in this State it is generally correct to say that so far as candidates for slate offices are concerned there art no issues for them to discuss before the people except their personal qualifica tions tr fill the offices to which they as pire. i’lie situation is quite different, however, as to the hundreds of candi dates for the legislature. There is one issue of the greatest importance which they can discuss, and it will prove of interest to the people-in more ways than one. That is the matter of bien nial sessions of the legislature. A con stitution amendment is to*be voted on, and while legislators will carry out the will of the people as expressed on that matter, still they will have to put into effect the machinery to carry out the people’s determination should they vote in favor of the amendment, and conse quently it is a subject that legislative candidates ought to express their views upon. We be here firmly that the people of the State will vote in favor of the amendment if the question is properly put before their , becno-e they will ap preciate the financial benefits resulting from a deerea.^e in the expenses of the State government, as well as the bus iness col o..

Then he went Mr the won id file Scluol that summer Carroll succeeded in J. Lewis Crozier of vania, to the point that she gave $8000 to his project. He bought and paid for the land, interested some of the leading citizens of Columbia and the State till they were willing to lend their names and influences as sponsors for the worth and regularity of the work he was do ing and the Industrial Home began its operations. Such is a brief outline of the estab lishment of this institution. Two tilings are evident. One is, the insti tution is the Rev. Richard Carroll. That is, while it is regularly incorpor ated and protected in every possible way, the man who conceived and start ed it is the man on whom now rests tlie whole primary responsibility for keep ing it up. '1 he other is this, tiiis minister is in the highest sense and in t he most prac tical way an idealist. Helms had the power to conceive and to execute that which, if it is carried to its legitimate ends means a great deal for the bet terment of the negro race. It is a re spect for the worthy ideal which promp ted and sustains him in liis work that makes your heart warm to this bright and racy negro man and his work. For the rest, a glance at the work being done and at the man behind it must suffice. There are at present 46 children being cared for at U*e home. The daily routine of life will be illum inating. They get up at daylight, get breakfast, milk the cows, clean up the premises, go to school from 8 to I, get dinner, and then work until night. The boys work on the farm under a super intendent; the girls sew and wash and mend, with a matron in charge. Dur ing the summer months the boys work morning ami afternoon ou the farm, Carroll is an apostle of work and clean liness. His charges are made to form frequent acquaintance with the bath tub and the “feel” of cold water, and 1 can testify that the young negroes do and a man of ability, integrity, worth, and the people can make no mistake in casting their vote for him.
