IXHOI S i'KO.M Tin; r«U Ki ll. When it conics to whooping up a crowd and having an all-round big day with a place in it for everybody, /(idlfney may bo put down as a rousing success. This fact has become so well established that when OuiTnry whoops the boys all respond, and when she calls for a big day the big day comes. Tuesday the Fourth was up to its predecessors. There were fully live thousand people on the beautiful grounds of I,Milestone; they came from all ijuarters, and came early and stayed late. The program was so va ried. ranging as it did all the way from tin 1 climbing of a greased pole up to aide discussions of constitu tional law and governmental policies, that everybody found somethiig either to interest or amuse him, and not one that we have heard of went away disappointed. A large part of the crowd lingered until the shades of evening began to gather over the grounds and then slowly and silently dispersed as if revolving the question of protracting the enjoyment through the night. The dummy cars were kept hasy all day long, making trips to and from the grounds about every Uiirty min utes *tnu carrying from mu Ijundivd and fifty to t wo hundred people at a trip. We may complain of tin dum my ns a nuisance when it scares onr horses and obstructs our streets, hut when such a day as last Tuesday comes around, the dummy makes amends for ail past offenses very rap idly. in fact without it, such an as semblage as that at I.Milestone and such a day’s outing for the people of the town, would he impracticable. We trust that conditions will soon he n.ached which will make the dummy line a necessity, or better still, which will convert it into an electric rail way. Tim Ledger devotes a large part of its space to-day to the proceedings and it is not our purpose to go into details. Tim behavior of the crowd was about ail that could be expected of so large an assemblage of all classes of people, we having heard of only one little altercation to mar the har mony and good feeling of the occa sion, arid that was promptly sup pressed by our ellicienl police. Col. McCullough made a patriotic and eloquent speeeh which was at tentively listened to by a large part of the big crowd, (icneral iiutlcr’s speech, was a strong manly dis cussion of one of the vi al hurtl ing questions of the day. While we do not concur with the (ieneial in all of his views on the subject, yet we always listen with profound re spect to every word that comes from the lips of our grand old hero. A man who has backed up Ids words through life willi de. ds which have given liis name a place in the love and gratitude of every brave and true man in a State rich in statesmen and soldiers, is not to he flippantly criti cised nor wantonly censured. His presence was a treat and inspiration to our people, and it was an alfecting nit:lit, when many of the obi gray- beards who had once followed his flashing blade through the smoke and carnage of battle, pressed forward to shake his hand. Soiit h Carolina would have been immensely poorer in he roic blood if M. C. 1 hitler had never liv* d. There is not another town in the State of equal size and resources that is inaugurating and carrying a greater number of private and public enter prises than (Jaffney is carrying at the present time. The waterworks are progressing to the tune of $18,000; the jiil is going up at a cost of $10,- (Mki; the oil mill is absorbing ijtJO,- (M)0 ^Lj.tMMi more; the Methodists and Baptists are together spending $20,000 on new churches; and Lime stone College is putting $20,000 on improvements. Look at these figures. In round numbers $80,000 is moving for the upbuilding of the town and the common good. These are the cold facts, but the whole country will feel the warmth of t he spirit behind them. 'I he one thousand negro laborers transported to Illinois to take the places of union miners, after having been buHotted, harrussed and threat ened for months, have at last been furnished free pusses by t ne (inventor and order, d to leave Urn State. This lias taken place in the State of Abra ham Lincoln, and if the colored peo ple of the South cannot see in it the handwriting of destiny, they are blind Indeed.

GAYOSO HOTEL IN RUINS Forniir Chief Clary IVobabSy Fatally Injur. «t While Fighting the Flam s, a Negro Cremated ami Several I'eo- l>|« Alore or I. ss Seriously Hurt. Mkmphis, July 5.—July 4, 181)9, will remain memorable as furnishing a full share of excitement and disaster for Memphis. A day of activity in the em ployment ol fireworks in celebration of ludetH-'udence day closed with a confla gration entailing a loss of between $400,- COO and $450,000, including the htstorie Gayoso hotel. Added to the monetary loss was the probable fatal injury of ex Fire Chief J. E. Clary, the serious hurting of As sistant Fire Chief J. V. Ryan, thedcath ol a negro in the American Biscuit com pany'' plant and more or less injuries to a number of others. The origin of the fire, which started in the basement of the Memphis Paper company's storehouse on the west side ol Front s'reet, between Union and Mo- call streets, is a mystery. The place was closed for the day and the lire be gan its work in the rear part of the basement abutting on the levee and difiicuit of ae -ess. The heaviest losses by the conflagra tion are the American Biscuit company, the Memphis Paper company, Biuthen- tiial ix Hell Bronner, wholesale liquor dealers, and thu Gayoso hotel. A de tailed statement of the insurance can not he obtained at present, but it is be lieved it will cover more than half the loss. INCENDIARISM AT WILSON. Commissioner of insurance Young to Aliike no Investigation. Rai.kigii, July 5 —Commissioner of Insurance Young has left for Wilson to continue the investigation iutothe cause of the incendiary tires. These fires be gan iast autumn and they were then political in character; that is, they were duo to the high feeling glowing out of the election and the repression of tha disorderly element among the negroes. They have con tinned since and the good people there tiro stirred up. The insurance commissioner lias as much power tu the ca;o of fires its a croncr has in an investigation of a deatli under suspicious circumstances, and the local authorities are required to co-operate with him. This is particu larly the case so far as the mayor and chief of the fire department are con- c *rned. The iattor are required to look into the causes of fires and if there are suspicious circumstances to promptly report the same to the insurance com panies. (juite naturally the insurance com panies will cooperate with marked heartiness. Thu insurance commis sioner is a shrewd man and taken all around tlitre is every reason for belief that thu law will bring about some very good results. There tire some places in this state where the companies have known that incendiarism is by no means rare. FARMERS MAY ORGANIZE. Largely Attended and Fntliusiastia .hireling nt Seneen. Sf.nkca, 8. C., July 5. —A meeting to demonstrate that the South Carolina al liance is not dead was held nt Seneca yesterday, there being 2,000 persons present. Among the speakers were Senator Tillman, Congressmen Latimer and Talbert and President Wiibern of the state alliance. It was evident from the burden of speeches that there is a purpose now on foot to form an alliance of farmers, merchants and others. It was ad muted that the farmers could not alone throt tle the tru.'ts. President Willem an nounced that a state convention ol the alliance would be held the latter part of this month, and urged “back.-lideis” to come in, pay rpdues and take a Hand. When Senator Tillman told the audi ence they were slaves, a man ques tioned : “Who made ns that way?” “The fools that vote to put scoundrels in oflice,” yelled the senator. “The masses are misled by capital which own the ‘newspapers,’ and the country is drifting to the devil.

Ksoxviu.k, July G.—P.easWynn and Cattlett Tipton, the whitecap murder ers of William and Laura Whaley, have expiated their crime at Sevierville. In December, 18!)G, they went to tlie | mountain home of William Whaley, an innocent and unoffending tenant on Bob Cattlett’s farm, and shot down Whaley and his wife. Mrs. Whaley’s sister was in the house, undiscovered by tho murderers, and her sight of them re sulted in their arrest and conviction.

Searles and Abram 8. Hewitt of New York and some other of their leading New York and Boston associ ates have just succeeded in arranging one of tlie most important coal and iron consolidations ever effected in tlie south. A syndicate with a capital stock of $5,000,000- has been organized, all of which has been underwritten, and has purchased the Clifton Iron company, one of the most noted iron properties of Alabama, owning 30,000 acres of land and two furnaces. Tlie Standard Coal company, a regu lar dividend paying coal property, own ing 32,000 acres of coal laud. The Mary Pratt furnace in Birming ham. The Gate City properties adjacent to Birmingham—wdiich were purchased some months ago by Baltimore and Richmond interests— and the Gadsden, Ala., furnace and large ore properties in connection therewith. The consolidated properties will cover about 70,000 acres of land, four furnaces and several coke ovens. Repairs on some of the furnaces, the building of TOO coke ovens and the trebling of the coal output are now under way, and will be completed within four months, when the company will have an aggre gate capacity of 180,000 tons of pig non {ter year and a daily output of over 2,000 tons of coal. I’rotit In Cattle. It ol. .1. H. Killebrew in Southern Farm Magazine of Itultimore for .1 uly:) The most profitable methods which could be employed in the South would bo for every farmer to carry a few well-bred cuttle on bis farm for milk, butter and beef. The steers should bo fattened for market at from three to four years of age. An average of four well-fattened beeves sold each year from every farm, with BM) acres in cultivation, would be a source of an immense in come to the people of the Southern States, besides adding to the fertility of the soil and making the people in dependent of outside supplies. There is no good reason why such a course should not be entered upon at once by the farmers and planters of the Southern States. Wild grasses and forage crops enough in the South spring up and blossom, fall and de cay, which, if cormrled into beef, would add millions of dollars to the wealth of the country. The wasted vegetable resources of the South should he converted into tangible wealth, and this may be done with a maximum profit bv tint raising of cattle, for cattle, next to hfead^tulfs, are most universally in demand tit good prices. Never before was the demand for good breeding stock bet ter than i! is now. Raise good stock, not scrub stock, and the profits will be certain ami satisfac tory.
