Bo our party leaders guiding the frail bark of tho party organization ever con sider upon what precipice they are rush ing? Thero is an almost unprecedenten spirit of dogged persistence, whether right or wrong, evinced on both sides of the currency dispute, which will be fatal if allowed to proceed to its logical end. W? are close approaching a maelstrom, the Uko of which has noi; been encountered by the Democratic party since tba dread ful days of I860. The same influence* of unyielding prejudice are preventing a solution of the difficulty within the party that were exhibited then. Let us take a calm, retrospective glance at what the throe- separate conven lions pf that fateful year led to and try to prevent such a di vision in the party ranks this year. Those wbo advise a sacrifice of everything for a currenoy principle do not have the wel fare of the party at huart and should not bo listened to. The idle man is an annoyance and a nuisance. He is of no benefit to anybody. He i3 an intruder in the busy thorough -foro of everyday life. He stands in our path, and we push bim contemptuously aside. He is of no advantage to anybody.

A Terrible Catastrophe in ?tter?l??, Texas* D?Ntso?, TEXAS, May 15.-The toity of Sherman was visited b3f tbe worst tornado in the history of North Texas about 5 o'clock this afternoon. The path of the destroyer was lot) yards wide. It struck the city at tho west end of Post Oak Creek and swept in a westerly direction for several block?, and then spread and spent its force. Tho track of the tornado is a gruesome sight, tbe devastation be ing complete; bouses, trees, fences, lu fact, everything in its path, destroyed. The loss of life will probably re. ono hundred, with as many tiruisea and wounded. The City Hall and the store room formerly occupied by S. G Holmes have been turned into temporary hospit als, and eighteen bruised, mangled and mutilated bodies are awaiting identifica tion at these two places at this writing. Nearly every house in Fairview addition has been turned into a hospital. The unidentified dead are being taken to the Court House. Gray's Hill and Fair View both are badly damaged and the tornado passed directly west of the North Texas Female College, barely miss ing lt. B. B. Salea, a delivery man, drove down Houston avenue direotly after the siorm. He stated that he Baw at ?east seven men, women and children lying along the avenue dead and many wound ed. The devastation in spots where the tornado was 'bo worst is complete. Trees were stripped of their foliage in some places, while in others they were uprooted. Houses, once the pride* ot tbe citv, in some instances aro entirely gone, and in others only a pile of rubbish marks the placo where they stood. Capt. Ely's Hoe house was blown to pieces." His wife and two children were at home, but fortunately escaped without seri<<us injury. Not a thing remains to mark the spot where only a few hours before stood tbe magnificent residence of Capt. Burgers. His family Was absent from the house at the time. Mayor Tone,, of Denison, who waa in Sherman during the Btorm, gives the fol lowing account: "I was on the Court House square about 5 o'clock and beard a roaring wind coming from the South. The next thins: I knew the air was thick with mud and small specks resembling afchee. The tornado did not strike the Co irt House or jail, but followed up Post Oak Creek. Thu roaring did not contin ue over two ortbree minut?e. During a'l this tune it rained bard. In about five minutes rumors began to spread that many lives had been IHM?., and tho reports grew worse and worse as time passed by. By 9 o'clock "fifty dead bodies bad been brought into tbe public buildings, and searching parties are out for more. Dead children have been found in treas, under levelled bouses and in Post Oak Creek. An iron bridge over Post Oak Creek was twisted into scrap iron." Prof. and Mrs. Kohler were both badly, and, it ia frared, seriously injured. The ?ix children of J. B. Irwin are all badly burt. Dr. Michael was caught in tho storm and badly burt. Dr. Sadler left for the south part of the town just before the btorm and, as noth ing bas been heard from him, lt is feared that he was killed. Mr. James Davis and Mrs. John Fields, who lived south of town, were both killed. It is feared that the destruction io that part of the country ia serious. A mass meeting was held to-uigbtat the Court House in Sherman to devise means to relieve the distress. Following is a list of the dead so far as known: R. L. Burns, wife and two chil dren; Mrs. Otto Paulding and two chil dren; James Nicholson, wife and three children; L. H. Montgomery, wife and two children; John Ames, wife and two children; the Rev.

SHERMAN, TEX., May 16.-The death dst from the cyclone of yesterday after noon ia growing rapidly and thia morning .ver 75 bodice bad been foond Twenly dve physicians from S ber tn an. Denison. Howe, Wbitewrlglrts and Van Alatyn are attending the wounded and hundreds cf women are helping. The colored people, having recovered from their first fright, ire working likeTrojaus. The excitement cannot be abated as long as reports con ti ti ne to come in as they do. It is reported that 12 dead bodies have been found in a pile oorth of town and there are no means of bringing them here. Mauy persons are missing:, and entire families cannot b found. It is believed many negroes will be found in Post Oak *reek. Bodies are still being brought in -md will be during tbe day. If al) reports -ire to be credited, the number of dead ' must already rea-h 150. The storm passed two miles from Den ison, aud ls thought to have broken up beyond there. Telegraph and telephone wires between here aud Denison are down and many otber towna have no rommunl .tation. It is feared that the restoration of telegraphic communication will bring in formation of the los? of life and property in surrounding tu vms greater than already eatimated. The relief committee made the follow*' ing announcement this aftemoon-to' the cress: " The losa of life andaroperty by the cyclone is much greaterthan was sup posed last night andiene number of in jured is m_u?n-^tfrger. The dead and .vounded-eiceed 200 and the loss of prop erty 'will not exceed ?250.000,. .-herman m taking good care of all the wounded, but many families have lost ail they bad, ?nd are destitute.

An Unfortunate Affair. CHESTER, S. C., May 16.-A startling sensation was occasioned here yesterday about noon when lt became known that there were irregularities in tbe tax re oelpts issued by County Treasurer John B. McFadden. A few days back one or two taxpayers in the county found out by comparing their receipts with the auditor's books that there was a mistake, they having oaid more than their returns called for. These receipts were taken to the treas urer, the miatakes pointed out and cor rection asked for. Mr. McFadden prompt ly paid back tbs overcharge, and the par ties were satisfied. The rep rt, however, was circulated that something was wrong at this office and yesterday taxpayers from tbe town aud several sections of the coun<y took 'heir receipts to tbe auditor and in nearly ?very case tbe receipts showed that a greater amount had been paid than the auditor's books called for. Thia, of course, spread over the town like wild dre, and to day it is known that these Ir regularities have been carried on for tbe past five years. Mr. McFadden has been tre<?surer of Chester county for 16 years and was un doubtedly up to a week ago the strongest man politically in the county. He bad the entire confidence of tbe people of this town and county and there wa" no otber treasurwr in the State more officiel t and held in biguer esteem by State ofiki-t's, ?nd by bis homo people (bau was Mr. McFadden. Tbe extent of these irregularities or the amount of tbe overcharges that have been .arriad on H>stematic?ily, cannot be as certained exactly. Mr. Mcb'oddeu acknowledges embez zlement and has not been in bis office ..ince yesterday at noon. Anxiety and depression overcame bim when be met bis terrible mistake yesterday, aud he now Mea at home a very ill mau. The whole town was greatly surprised and shocked at this most unfortunate af fair and everyone expresses the deepest sympathy for the fallen man and his sad ly stricken family. The trouble is altogether between the taxpavers aud the treasurer. Tbe county and State accounts have Peen settled cor rectly. Solicitor Henry has written Comptroller General Norton to take charge of the of fice.-Columbia State. - A correspondent of the London Spectator says : "A few dava ago Mrs. li-trdsley, wife of Canon Bardsley, of Huddersfield, saw har oat jump on a table in ibo drawing room, take a reel of cotton fr-'tn a work baskft, and, after playing with it on the flo? rf ir a tiru?', take it in its mouth, jump I ack again on the table, and put lt baals Jn the work L ?

DEAR FBI END: How glad we were to get your letter. I had not heard from the outiilde world for weeks. ? wrote you about the great un worked "West and about Kaifong city. It is about seven day? journey west of here. I went where whittt men have not been and- preached, whare the name of Jesus bad never been spoken. After I to d one old man he asked me io write it down for him as he might forget. One evening when I en tered a small town to spend the night 1 wert to a shanty made of mud and straw and made me a bed by placing an old door across two benches- Thon the peo ple came in to soe me, some well dressed and others with a few rags gathered around them, anC there -ero those ?hose hair bad grown white and they were seeking reit but had not found it After I talked to them nearly huit tbe night, I sane "JeBUs Loves Me," aod told them it meant them. Oue old mao looked up as if to say be did cot know any one loved him, and the tears rolled down their faces as I told them. Tbey asked me to come and live with them all the time and teach thom more about Jesur I told tnem that I must hasten on and tell others, for Jesuo cometh audjthey moat bear to j. I traveled on np the old bed of the Yel low River and slept one night in a village built right where the old destroyer once flawed. I confess that I would not like to live there. I preached one day in the crowded streets of a large city, and preached till I could talk no longer, and X told.them I must leave and go to other places, to?-, tor tbty bsd not heard. A91 was leaving an old man caught me by the sleeve and said, ''tell me for I have not heard." I spoke a few words to him and ihen left, for I was making for a distant oity where there wa? no ooo to tell tbe Kood tiuiags. Aa I went away they cried alter me for more books and a young mao came up alongside of tbe barrow and asked me to explain to bim the book he bad bought fer he said be did not under stand. As we went along together I told bim agaiu and agata bow to be saved and be seeded glad to bear. Oh. how glad it makes me to know that I am preaching the word to those who have not heard be fore. I often talked to tnt tn when I wa? weary. I could not lose an opportunity, j After many days of preaching and weary travel I reached Kaifongfu-a city of a million inhabitant*-aud not a single preacher ot God's Word In all that region? f bat city mada me sud-a throbbing mus" of human beloka who have immortal suuls.aud to know that not a tingle per son knew about Jesus, who came nearly two thousand ye-rs ago. It made me weep to tee tboae costly temples erected ic order to worship their dead ancestors. In all the region I traveled through not a single messenger for J ea ut ? I spent nearly one whole nlgbt io prayer. They must have the gospel and I can't preach to all of them, there are too many. I will preach to aa many as I can, but the others who do cot hear-those who are called to come and will not heed the call, will be re aponslb e for them. We have valuable workers in the Misses Johnston. They are God's own people and live with Him, and are bere tor tbe side purpose ol' telling these people the v,ood tidings of a Savior who died tor tbe world. 1 am glad you pray for us. for we need your prayers in ibis dense durkaeea. We talk mncb with Him and lean bard on Him Oh, tue j ?y of bsing His embassa dor. It filia our hearts to have thia di rect link and communication between na and our churcbea. I see to much to b done bere and I am tjryloir to do it all. I know I can't.tbocgh, for I can't be ia two p aces at the same time. I expect to take another trip to KaifoDgfn soon. That oity and tbe country around most bear the Gospel, tdy heart goes out for them How bsppy I am tbat I bave bat ace Master 'iud I know He is just and when I feet that He calla me here or tbere I jutt go and ask no one at ail atoatit. I love Him who ia blessed forever. My Savior ia Lord and King. FRAKK M. KOYA.IL. The Call for the Cash. At tbe request ot Commissioner Boche of the South Carolina Exposition com pany, charged with getting up the exhibit from thia State at the Chicago Cotton ex position, theState publishes the following circular letter to tho com missioners of the several counties issued yesterday from the headquarters in this oity : COLUMBIA, S. C., May 16, 1896. Dear Sir-A convention of the people of South Carolina, in the interest or* the State exhibit at the Southern State* ex position in Chicago next fal), waa held in the city of Spartanburg in April last, at which time lt waa decided to form the South Carolina Exposition company. Hia excellency, the Governor of this State, was made president, and Hon. W. A, Courtney vice president, Mr. E, L. Rocbe_ commissioner, and Me^sra^Wi^A-^?Si?, J. C Hemphiljuaiid^-J?^-?ri37eIand, with the ollicers-'numed, were constituted the .utatc.executive committee. It waa also "decided to appoint an active, progressive man in each county as the commissioner for bia county, who will have charlo of the work in the county and who may as sociate with him such persons aa he deems beat to promote the work. A meeting of the officers of the 8tate Ex position company and the commissioners from the different counties was held in Columbia on the 6th inst, for tbe purpose of considering the beat means of pushing the work. The first question considered was the proper division of the amount io be raised for the exposition, viz : $10,000. The following waa agreed upon aa a proper apportionment of tho funds to the several counties : A "be ville $405, Aiken $349, Anderson $384, Barnwell $373, Bnaofort $211 Bnrkt Iey$302, Charleston $l,2i6, Chester ?223, Chesterfield $91, Clarendon $151, Colinton $251, Darlington $221, Edgefield $200, Fairfield $211, Florene* $215, Guorgotowu $1 9, Greenville $407 Hampton O'29, Horry $96, Kershaw $158, Lancaster $131, Laurens $239, Lexington $198, Marion .$249, Marlooro $149, Newberry $298, Oconee $155. Oraugeburg $410, Piokeus $125, Richland $443, Naluda$165, Spartan ourg $043, Sumter $377, Union $195, Wil liamsburg $155, York $265. Mr. W. A. Clark, president of tho Caro lina National Bank, Columbia, was elect ed treasurer of the fund, and all money chould be forwarded to him as soon as collected. It is necessary to collect the funds at once, as the time is very short in which to prepare the exhibit, The exhibit will representan tbe re sources of the State, and all products, manufactured and unmanufactured. It will be arranged to represent the State aa a whole, but companies or Individ?ala de siring to makeBpecial exhibits will be al lowed to do so in tbe space allotted to South Carolina. Each county or town will get full credit for all articles exhibited by it. Tbe duty of tbe county comtriseionere will be, first, to sed to the collection of the money assessed to the counties., to assist the State commissioner in securing ma terial for the State exhibit, and :o induce manufacturers and others to make speoiul exhibits. Tbe commissioner in each county may appoint such committees to aid bim as he finds necessary. There should not be less than one in each town ship, tbe commissioner having charge of all the details in bis county. The women of theState are invited to help to ralae the money for the general exhibit as there will be no separate woman's exhib?'. Commissioners may prepare lists of all properties for sale in their respective counties, as farms, water powers, manu facturing alte?, fruit and stock farms, truck farm?, timber and mineral laud?, etc., and such Hats should be pi luted fur distribution at tbe exposition. As thia is to be a strictly Southern ex position it affords us an unusual and val uable opportunity to make our resources known to millions of people who would never'become aware of them throngh other channels. It will advertise our State far more extensively and effectively than has ever been done by any other means. We call upon the people of South Caro lina to zealously improve the chance of fered to them by Chicago's unrivaled generosity. That city pays all the ex peuse for buildings and management, and the South has only to provide the exhibit*. South Carolina should not be second to uny other State in the character of her exhibit. E. L. ROCHE, Commissioner for South Carolina. - A man sent this letter to a book seller who sent in hia account for a book some time before it w*a delivered : "I never ordered tbe book.

A correspondent of the Greenville News from Pendleton, of date 14tb, givea the following account of tue killing of James at damson College by Lindsay: W. D. Jamed, who was shot at Clemson College Tuesday afternoon, died laat night alter intense Buffering. From an ante mortem statement by James and tbe tes timony of a white convict who saw the killing, it appears tbat the murder waa one ortho most brutal ever committed in the State. Thu convict is serving a term for assault and battery, and hence is not disqualified from tbsthfving. It appears that James was quietly walk ing towards Lindsay with nu weapon of any kind, when Liudaay pulled bia pistol and began firing. Jamea did not atop, and continued towards his enemy. Lind nay kept on shooting until they clinched, and then pushed bia pistol down and shot James in the stomach. Thia did not stop him, oo Lindsay began beating James io the head with tbe butt end of bis pis tol. Jarnos then fell unconscious, and Liudaay continued to beat bim in the bead timi] some one rushed in and made him deals:. Lindsay claima s^lf-defence, bot on what grounds lt cannot be Been. He kill ed James in cold blood and will have to answer for his crime. James was a bard worker and bad the good will of the authorities at the col lege. .Lindsay was sent to Clemson sometime ago, and it appears to bave been a politi cal deal between Superintendent Nea], of the penitentiary, ana Editor Earle, of the Oconee News Tbe murder bas created considerable ex citement at UJeuil ?u, out everything ia quiet. Lindsay is now in jail in Walhalla. Mississippi's Mcgaphonlc Caro. VOSEURO, Miss., April 23.-According to the atatomeut ot a gentleman from Mico, Jattper county can boast of a cave that muy (tome day equal the world re nowned Mammoth cave of Kentucky. The opening to the cave is situated on tbe farm or Sqnire McLaurin, about 12 miles :froui Mico. It bas been explored for about a quarter of a mile, and gradu ally increases in magnitude. The open ing is about four feet sq uara, hollowed outofeolid limestone rock. Several ex ploring parties have entered-the cave and penetrated to the distance /above named, when, afraid of the strange sounds heard in the cave,, they would^turn back Tbe faintest whisper can ^wiseard with start ling distinctness, an'o-^ben spoken loud ly can be heard fur eevef al seconds echoed and re-echoed. Not long since a party of three entored the cava, taking lightwood torches with them. They had penetrated a short dis tance when some bats finw into the face of the torch bearer. From fright be threw :ihe torcb down, which was ex tinguished. Then a scrambling for tho opeuing resulted in several bumped beada and muddy suite. B'jautliul sta lactites hang from the rooi ot the cave, and when viewed by torchlight look like milliouiiof diamonds. I here ls anjther opening about four miles from the one named, and ii is supposed tobe part of the same cave. A public road passes be tween the i wo cave", and at one point a rumbling sound can be heard, which goes to show that a subterranean cavern exists beneath the road.- Hemphis Commercial Appeal. - Mr. J. vv. Smith, a young farmer who IIVBS ahout five unies west of Yurk ville, bas furnished a pretty good illus tration of what can be accomplished by bard work on a farm. In 1890 be bought G2 acres nt land, agreeing to pay for it the sum o? i'l,000. His total capital was one mule, and be got no help from outside sources. The ii rut and second year? he made money on the cotton-as-a-surpius idea and succeeded in reducing his debt. The third year he went largely on credit and put in a big crop of cotton in the hope of macing big profits. The crop aud price were both failures and he lost money. Then he went back to bis old alow but more conservative method, and now be is in a position to pay bis lani installment of something like $100 on his land whenever be shall deem it advisable to do so. Not only thia, bia property bas been BO much improved that be would not be willing to sell it for twice the original purchase pries. For the man who will work and manage properly, there in ?till a good living on the farm.

TbB May meeting of the Virginia Dem ocratic Association was held in Washing ton last Friday night. The principal fea ture of the meeting was an address by Mr. Frank E. Anderson, candidate for Conpronfl In the 8th Virginia District, npon "Th? Old and the New South." " i be 'Old South,' " he said, "ia no long* sr misunderstood, but ls becoming the chosen theme of a literature Issuing from the Northern press. What bliss was pqual to the bliss of livng in the old South 7 What have we better in this sel fish age? But the life or the South could not last. It was a civilization based on agriculture, facing tbe civilization of the rest of the world based on commerce. Its rulers were aristocrats who stood oppos ed to plutocrats, who were holding the rest of the world In their province of pur chase. It was inevitable that the old South Bbould pass away. Ol' its paus ing, I need not speak. No man who lov ed the old Snnth and now loves the Union can dwell with pleasure on the an guish of the great, proud and valiant race, overwhelmed by overmastering odds and subjected to an ignominious coalition of emancipated negroes and discharged sol diers of fortune, who stole from the Southerner his property and lrom his State ber freedom. "For ten years thieves made our stat utes, fools interpreted them and knaves enforced them. Butthe D?mocratB oltbe North fought the battle of our salvation. They stirred the pulse of tbe public heart, the walls nf Jericho fell, and the 'Ndw South' assumed control ot ber destinies, and resumed her place in the reconstruc ted Union. What will the future bring to ber? Her wealth is growing, her pop ulation is increasing, and she bas little of that dangerous element which unfurls the red fiag of communism. Still in ber midst ls flourishing that chivalry wbloh makes eaoh man the champion of child hood, womanhood and old age. But she bas the negro in her midst. How shall Jacob and E?au abide together in the land ? Thn old aristocrat gives place to the new plutocrat. How shall we teach bim that money ls less than man?" - Arkansas hat more miles of navigable Btreams than any other State in the Union. - An "old people's club" flourishes in Lexington, Ky. The youngest member is 89 years old. - A raft a mile long, com posfed of yel low pine logs ha* arrived in Philadelphia from the coast of North Carolina. - The man who knows that he was one kind of a fool yesterday, v*ry oiteu has a suspicion that he is some other kind of a fool to-day.
