Fifteen estates near the city of V jfontzh nave been burned by veasaut mobs since Sunday. A strike of hired laborers a week ago was brutally suppressed by the Government forces. Enormous mass es ot peasantry then congregated and marched In a great column sfvarai miles In length, to hack all the estates In the neighborhood. Troops arrived and tried to disperse the mob with volleys of musketry. Many hundreds of peasants were killed and wounded, but the horde stubbornly refused to retreat. The approach of masses of peasants by other roads made the position of the troops untenable and they retreated, leaving the estates defenceless. The Government has sent artillery to the scene The railway stations are packed with fugitives and landlords and their famines are camping by the roadsides. Details have arrived of the destruction of Prince Orlcff's estate of Padl, where the famous study of Orlcll horses was kept.

Suon enormous columns of smoke were seen arising from the buildings of the estate. The devastators then advanced on the Tulinovsky estates, whero tlie horses and cattle were driven out of the yards. The local peasants hoped the estate would escape destruction, owing to the owner's friendly relations with the peasantry of the district. A spokesman advanced from the vanguard of the horde, however, and read to the local peasants and Tullnovsky's tenants a decree ordering the burning and devastation of all estates. The peasants were allowed to move their household belongings. A mechanic from the crowd bored a hole in the main wall and the place was tilled with special explosives. The horde advanced and repeated lit destructive work on all surrounding estates, Armed peasants of the province ol Tula are camped across the railroads near the station of Suvorlve, and are preventing the passage of all trains They have been reinforced by sl> thousand men from the Government Can ridge Faotory, at Tula, which it closed.

Kosult of Senator Tillman's Hp troli at liaiiiar. A special to the Columbia State says the speech of Senator Tllliran delivered by him at Lamar Wednesday Is the general top c of conversation. It U claimed by many that they have never seen Tillman more energetic and vigorous. Several remarked that "It Is the name old Ken of 112." There Is no doubt but that he made a great 1mpresslen on the "wool bats." "Ihe old court house ring" It the cry. Somo people In Darlington and other parts of the country brought out Mr. D. T. McKjithan for the State Senate and Toe Couuty Messenger, in commenting on his candldtey, mentioned his platform and advised the opponents of the State dispensary to form and advised the opponents for the house of representatives and it has been said that a slate was made. It seems that Till man wt-s informed of the fact and hence he urged organization of those favoring the retention of the State dispensary to join they must be as well organized as the \antis" and , must wo.rk as energetically In order to defeat the 'kcourt I ouse ring." It Is reported that Immediately af- i ter the meeting a number of people met and discussed the situation and as a cons( quence It .\s likely that a full dlopensary ticket will be put lu | the field for the legislature.

Flmt ot Its Kind Kvor Mado In United The tint all-steel passenger mr for a railroad ever made la the United States passed through Greenville over the Southern IUilway Monday morning, the car for the past two weeks having been cnexhlbtiou at the master oar builders at Washington Wednesday and equipped for active service says Tnd Mows. The new car is the first of three which are being made for the Southern kt:>ad as an experiment. If theso Lhreo prove successful, the entire road will be equipped with the al!-st.eei coaches and other roads with less courage for experiments will qulccly follow suit. Tne Pennsylvania otilolais have recently bebome interested In tlie move of the Southern and they also have ordered an experimental oar, which will soon be In actual sernice, if they prove practical, thai road also will adopt them lmmediately. The lirst steel car Is considered a handsome atlalr by the railroad men who have seeu it, and has created a stir of interest among the otliolaU of the roads, it is over 71 feet in leuth, til feet Inside length, y feet 1 Inch wide and 14 feet 2 Inches high. The entire car is made of compressed steel and what little wood Is used is tire proof. Many a wreck could have been prevented If steel naci bean used Instead of wood. Such & tiling as being crushed beneath the n?ao would be almost an Impossibility. So, if the steel cars are adopted generally by the railroads as it seems probable that they will be reduced to a mini mum. The greatest disadvantage of the new car is Its excessive weight.

How great is the need for such an organ zatlon, not only in the city, but in the country districts few people outside of police and cphansgo circles real xj. Too regular orphanages may receive only the children of ro spectable parents; yet atmng tho negroes and the "red light" tlomenl of every city, as recent Investigations by the Salvation Army hero have shown, there are dozens of children, capable of development into useful men and women, born in shame and cast tff as impediments b> their unnatural pa routs. The society is non-sectarian and is supported solely by voluntary gifto. It seeks the co-operation of all good cltlaens. Its child placing department, perhaps tne most Important, certainly the department most needed for Columbia's present c-otiditlons, operates somewhat as follows: It receives homeless children, after careful consideration of each case; selects home'i on recommendation cf the local authorities, after a visit by an experienced agent; supervises children, after placement, by correspondence and by visit from i ill-era of tlie society; tm ploys a St,ate superintendent to befriend, receive, place and visit chilil rflii a lun I **/? * ? .?
