Yesterday's Fire. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon fin was discovered eating its way out of the rooJ of Mr. C. R. HarviTA's residence. An alarzn was sounded, and in a short time ready and willing hands were there to fight the mons. ters work of destruction. l'he roof was in a blaze, and the prospect for saving thE building seemed rather small, but ladders were soon procured and, by means of a false window in the loft, Messrs. J. H. Lesesne and W. T. Wilder succeeded in getting in under the roof and, by having water handed to them, soon extinguished the blaze. It was a close call ; so much so that the furniture was moved out into the street ard the inmates had given up all hopes of having their home saved. The colored people, especially Policeman Wash ington and William DeLaine, who did good work. While everybody worked hard and did their best to save the property. it was remarkable to see the energy displayed by Lesesne and Wilder. They seemed to teel that a responsibility rested upon them similar to the captain of a sinking ship, and they were determined to be thd last to leave. After all the danger was over, and the furniture was returned to the house, these young gentlemen still lingered to watch the building in case the fire would break out again, and were it not that their time belongs to their employers, it would not surprise us to hear that these gentle men are still watching that building.

If we were not afraid of getting licked we would not hesitate to announce that Baron Munchaussen has arrived in these parts. Any way, we will risk telling some of the things some people are perpetrating upon an innocent public. Mr. Haynsworth D. Plowden, a man who was raised by good parents, and who received the benefits of a first-class Sunday-school training, told us that a few days ago while coming from his father's place in the Fork, he noticed in a field belonging to himself a place where there bad been a shower of frogs. He dis mounted from his horse and went intoi the field to investigate. He found a place cov ering an area of about two hundred yard% literally covered with frogs about one-half inch in length. There was no pond any where in the vicinity, and if the frogs did not rain down he cannot imagine where they came from. Mr. Plo den. we think, told us that he wadel through this sea of frogs, but set in.: us smile U. stopped talk ing about them before teiling us how many of them got down his shirt collar. Friend Plowdcn is riot the mlv man that can tell wonders. .lr. James E. Davis toll s that it rained -o hard on Deep Creek lat Friday that Mr. Edgar Plowden, Jr., becarne weatber-boun.l in his barn, and when the rain stopped Mr. Plowden had to saddle his mule to get out ot the lot. Then Capt. D. J. Bradham stepped up and said that one lay last week great big balls of fire were were seen rolling around in the road over in the Fork, and they staid there until a heavy rain eame along and ex ti.guished them. Major Levi joined in and said he was in.

The closing exercises of the Manning cademy took place last evening, and, al hough it was expected that they would take placee in the Methodist church, as pre vionsly announced, the change to the cademy did not interfere, and tbat build ing was filled to overfiowing. The programme was a short one and out f the usual order of school exhibitions. here were no "Mary-Had-a-Little-Lamb" peeches,but instead, thre large audience was treated to a literary gem from Dr. John . Rice, president of the Columbia Female ollege. The exercises began with a chant by the scholars, and at its conclusion Captain W. . Davis stepped forward and with well hosen words introduced Dr. Rice. In his emarks of introduction Captain Davis told the audience what they might expect from the speaker of the evening, and he did not overrate him. Dr. Rice delivered an address that covered complete index to an encyclopedia of in formation. His object seemed to be to im press the mind rather than to tickle the ear, and he succeeded in impressing both the mind and the ear. Mrs. Alsbrook deserves great credit for the energy and devotion she displays for her school and scholars, and in securing Dr. Rice to entirtain the parents and friends of her scholars she showed tine taste. After the address Dr. Rice called up Mar vin Strange and presented him with a handsome gold medal. A beautiful gold ewel was then presented as a conduct medal to Virginia Galluchat by .\r. Joseph Sprott, whose talk, although brief, was well spoken and impressive. Major Abe Levi then came forward, and in his usual happy style presented Albertiune Loyns with a charming gold pen with a pearl handle as aprize for penmanship. This concluded the exercises, and ever-y body that went felt deeply indebted to Mrs. Alsbrook for the magnificent entertamment she gave them. -Petit Jury.

He Says the Recent Decision Does Not In terfere in the Slightest With its Prac tical Operation-Blind Tigera the Only Competition. CoLrMBxA, S. C., May 13.-There is still much talk about the two decisions of the United States court affecting the two most important laws in the state. Although nearly every one concedes that the knocking out of the feature of the dispensary law, preventing liquor from being brought into the state, is practically a death blow to the law, Governor Evans is declaring that the profits will not be affected. This is in the face of the claim that better liquors can be delivered here from points out side the state at lower rates than the dispensary rates. The effeet of the registration decision is of more vital concern in view of the negro majority in the state and yester day the state democratic executive com mittee, controlled by the dominant ele ment, was called by the state chair man, Senator Irby, to meet here on Wednesday night next. It is evidently for the purpose of arranging to face the new condition of affairs. What Governor Evans Says. Last evening, Governor Evans gave to the representatives of the Southern Associated Press the following inter view, designed to express his belief as to the future of the dispensary law and the effect of the decision upon it. The governor sald: The practical operations of the dispensary rare not interfered with in the slightest. The great number of patrons of the dispensary are people who are in sympathy with the law. Those who have been forced to patronize it belong to the class who cannot afford to import for their own use. The source of revenue Is from the sale of the cheaper grades. of whisky in quantities of one-half pint. These people cannot afford to import. The only competition that could come would be from blind tigers and old whisky dealers, who under the guise of importing for their own use, will endcavor to supply them. This will be check-mated by a more strenuous ef fort than heretofore to prosecute them under section 22, of the dispensary law. This is the section which provides for injunction, and the entire vigilance of the dispensary force will be centered upon the illio:t tranicker. One or two convictions will soon put an en: to the traffic and this will be done without recourse to jurles. Metropolitan Police Idea. If we find that the police of the towns do not co-operate with us in suppressing the illicit sales of whiskey. I will immediately place every town in the state under the operation of the metropolitan police law. This will be of greater advantage to the enforcement of the law than the employment of the constables, and will save to the state $4,500 a month which we are now expending for the constables. The row of the illicit trafficker will be a hard and stumpy one, and the resources for making It so are abundant. I shall not hesitate to use them. So Instead of being a death blow to the dispensary, if this decision is sustained by the supreme court of the United States-and I can hardly see how It can be-yet, we will make It an advantage to the law, by reason of this saving in expense of its execution. There is no opposition to the law in any part of the state except in the cities of Charleston and Columbia and very little in the latter city. The foreign element is the bone of contention in the former city, and they will never become reconciled to our Institutions. In spite of the-fact that the great benenits of the dispensary law are reaped by our entire people, the law has recently been enacted in the state of North Carolina and will be in the state of Georgia at the next session of the legislature, and this accounts for the fierce battle waged upon it by the whisk'ey trust, who succeed in buying up United States ludges. Test Case Being Made. Let not the friends of the law be discouraged: [ts success is assured and they will live to see [ts adoption by a majority of the states of the american Union. The days of the bar-room sre over, and the influence of the bar-keeper :lestroyed in South Carolina. and I am satisfied lt will be in the nation at no late day. A test case is already being made in Charles ion to carry the law to the supreme court of the United States, and we expect a decision in iwenty days. We will take the case up on iabeas corpus proceedings. In the meantime, the constables will watch the shipments of iquor into the state and will not seize any packages unless they have strong grounds to yelieve that it is not for personal use. As to the decision in the registration case ad our position on that matter, Governor E~vans said, "I will simply say there will be a traight fight now between the white man and ~he nigger, ad God save the white man that coos to the negro. Beyond this, I have noth ng more to say than I have already said." While giving the above interview, .iovernor Evans received notice that a~ [7nited'States marshal had arrested one >f his liquor constables who had made t seizure in Beaufort in defiance of Tudge Simonton's injunction. What 'sill be done about it is not known as iet. Assistant Attorney General Town iend is now in Charleston at work on ;he ease Governor Evans refers to. SPOKE UNDER THE PISTOL.

C.,Ma-y 14.-The partic ilars of a big sensation, which occur -ed at Pilot Mountain, several days igo, were received in Winston today. t appears that a serious report became ~urrent about Prof. Whitaker, princi >al of the high school at that place, oupling his name with that of his lady ssistant, the name of whom is not earned. Prof. Whitaker called for an evestigation. A trial before the church 'ollowed. The professor was riepre ented by Mr. Porter Graves, of Mt. Liry, who made a three hours' speech n favor of his client. While he was pealiing he was guarded by friends ith pistols. The result of the trial annot be given. The report about the >rncipal of the school was put out by ome of the students.

Ailer, lia "Crip" Ailer, was convicted of de eiving the people by selling a worthless ompound, which he represented to be [cod's Sarsa parilla, and was sontenced by adge Macy to one year at hard labor in ie Iowa State penitentiary. Ailer's meeth ds were those of a traveling fakir. He had een traveling through Missouri, Nebraska nd Iowa, making stands of a dlay or more : each town, and representing himself as n agent under salary from C. I. Hood & io., and selling his concoction at Si or 50 ents per bottle, giving with each sale vari us other worth less articles. Citizens of' riswold, Iowa, became suspicious, and scertainling from a druggist that Ailer's ompound was not Hood's Sarsaparilla, nt merely colored water, had him arre ted. hree indictments were found against him, be jury convicted him after only thirty aiutes deliberation, and he was sentenced. s above. This incident suggests the rsdom of purchasing medicines only of! eputable dealers whom you know.

GAINESViL:, Fla., Maw 1.-Senator Tillman of South Carolina, arrived in this city yesterday from the Archer neighborhood, where he has some property. He met his old friend J. F. Bunch at the depot and accepted the profeered invitation to dine at his home here. A correspondent met the sena tor and inquired of him if he had read the dispatches from Columbia in refer ence to the decisions against the re-gis tration and dispensay laws of his state. The senator renlied: I h-.ve not seen the papers, and while I an ticip-ited the result. I have no direct knowl edge in regard to the decisions. The corres pondcnt handed the sena tor the paper containg the report. Af ter he had read the report the senator said: In regard to the registration law there is no general election in South Carolina this year and no franchtse will be exercised only in the election of delegates to the constitutional con vention, called by the last legislature after baving been voted upon by the people at the the last general electio* last November. I do not know what the United States su preme court will do but I know this: the con stitutional convention will be held. It will be composed of white men principally who will take care of South Carolina and see that white supremacy is maintained within her borders. "What about the dispensary ?" Judge Simonton has once declared that this law was constitutional. He has practicallyr re versed himself. From the sweeping nature of the injunction. I am almost ready to think that in going so far in trying to overthrow the law the judge has been Improperly influenced. The dispensary system is so popular In the state and is being watched with much keen Interest by the people outside with the al inost absolute certainty of being adopted by other states, that the bar-keepers and liquor manufacturers coutd well afford to raise a million dollars to buy a judge or two. These two judicial decisions, if sustained. practically destroys the last vcstige of state's rights and Jefferson's p:ophesy that the feder al judiciary would be the means of overthrow Ing our liberties and destroying local self-gov ernment w1l have boon fultilled. Governor Evans' plan to resist tte injuilction is the quickest and bcst way to have the supreme court pass upon it. cThe judges, by their decisions and injunc tions and congressmen by their votes are rap Idly making this country a despotism in which the rights and interests of the masses are as of little moment as they are ih Russia. Un less the people bestir themselves the lawyers and judges will sell our liberties to the corpor ations and the money power, but I am glad to see them-pressing their schemes for it will only bring upon as the revolution that must come sooner or later. ONE SOLID MASS OF FLAMES. The Woo _ward Lumber Co's. Plant at At lanta, Ga., Consumed by Fire. ATLAN-TA, May 13.-Saturday after noon the Woodward Lumber Co's plant, a great portion of the lumber in stock, and eight frame houses disappeared under the ravages of one of the most destructive fires that the city has ever had. It was an instantaneous fire, spreading from one building to another. Before the department could arrive, the mills, the dry house and the stables were almost solid masses of flames. The plant-which includes the office, the mills, the dryhouse and the stables -is worth probably $30,000 to $85,000, and the amount of lumber on hand is es timated by various parties from S5,000 to 45,000. The frame houses are esti mated over $5,000. They were small. WEAVERS MAY LOSE THE FIGHT. The Situation at Olneyville, B. L, Very Unfavorable to the Strikers. OLNEYVILLE, R. I., May 10.-The strike situation here does not favor the strikers. TL e mill operatives have been expecting a collapse of the stand taken by the mill owners. They counted surely on the inability of the manufac turers to keep their agreement to shut down their mills on May 13th, for the reason that orders must be filled. But now comes the announcement that the Riverside mills. will positively shut down next Saturday afternoon. A por tion of the help in that mill went out on Monday, for the reason that the weavers struck and as the mill owners do not think it at all profitable to run a mill if they cannot have all the de partmnents in operation, the mills will shut down. WILL TRY TO PROVE AN ALBL New Developments in the Durant Murder Came at San Francisco. SAxr Fztsycisco, Cal., May 9.-Attor neys for Theodore Durant claim to have at last secured some testimony that they think will enable them to bolster up an alibi in the case of Min ie Williams. It has been learned that he witness is a woman who conducts a airdressing establishment and it is aid that she has communicated with he attorneys to the effect that Minnie illiams entered her establishment at ight o'clock on the evening that she issappeared. This statement is in irect conflict with the testimony given t the preliminary examination. VERY NICE FOR NICARAGUA. aptallsts There Would Like to Have a Protectorate.
