[From the Barnwell Sentinel.] In order that calamities may be verted, we think it right and proper >r the newspapers of the State and eir correspondents to bring before the ublic the names of such men for the tate officers as they think will be cceptable to the whole people. Circumstances are different to what bey have been in former years, and he only desire of us all is to have such ,en at the head of affairs as will give ie greatest satisfaction to the greatest umber-farmers, tradesmen and all thers who inhabit our State, and who are their being on the Anglo-Saxon ide of the fence. We, of course, have ny number of men ready to hold office, ut they are not all men of the period, nd, therefore, there must be a shaking p, sifting, as it were, until we get the est. To-day we place the name of Col. 'hos. W. Holloway in our editorial olumn for Lieutenant-Governor-a an to whom no farmer or anybody Ise can raise an objection. If he with larnwell's son is taken, it vill be as trong as the rocks of Gibraltar. That may be so we earnestly hope. Phenomenal Growth.

Horrible Outrages at the Kara Prison. Lono\, Feb. 22.-Further details of the outrage in the political prison at Kara reached the Russian exiles in Lon don to-day from friends who are located a short distance trom the scene of hor rors. They are brief, but conclusive, confirming fully the report of the affair received here from an official in St. Petersburg who is in sympathy with the cause of the people. According to details received to-day, it appears that trouble at the Kara prison originated in a "hunger strike" in August, when the woumet political prisoners tried to starve themselves to death to escape the brutalities of their jailers. All the women imprisoned there abstained from rood for fourteen days. The jailers did not believe that they would be able to keep up the. struggle. At first they jeered at the women, than tempted them with food, and then, finding this of no avail, threatened them. When several of the women were at the point of death from their voluntary abstinence from food, the prison otticials resorted to artificial means to compel them to take nourish ment. The methods adopted, however, were violent and licentious, and the women ~were compelled to abandon their strike. Abominable outrages foi lowed and were of daily a ! itourly occurence. This state of affitirs led Madame Sigida, whose death by flogging has already been announced, to ask for an interview with the director of the pri son, in the hope of securing an amelio ration of the condition of the prisoners. This request was granted, but when she was taken before him she found him abusive. It is said that in her exaspera tion at his abuse she called him a villain and slapped his face. It is not positively known, however, what took place during her interview; but what ever did happen, Madame Sigida did not return to her companions. She was taken from the director's office and conveyed to the prison in which corn mon offenders are confined. Three of her companions from among the politi cal prisoners were permitted to join her. Advices received to-day state that these were Mary Koalesky, wife of Professor Koalesky of Kieff; Madame Snmirnitsky and Maria Kolujny. The last two ladies were from Odessa. Two months elapsed after these events before Adjutant Baron Koreff, Governor General of the Province of Amour, instructed the directors of prisons that the secret edict of larch, 1888, which ordered that political prisoners should be treated by prison officials in precisely the same manner as criminals condemned for common law offenses, would be enforced, and ordered the directors to notify political prisoners of both sexes that they vould be liable to corporal punishment if they violated certain of the prison regulations. The male prisoners, fore seeing immediate danger, held a con sultation and sent to the directors of the prison a petition that he would telegraph to the 'Minister of the In terior at St. Petersburg, requesting him to suspend the application of the edict, The director refused to pay any atten tion to their petition, and thereupon the men warned him that the first flogging of a political prisoner would be the signal for the others to commit suicide together. Three days afterwards, Baron Koreff sent a special order that Madame Sig ida be punished according to the regu lations, and t he order was executed to the fullest extent. Madame Sigida was stripped and received 100 lashes. She was~ carried off b!e ding and ini an unconscious condition, and her death ensued from rupture of the heart. 1-er three companions committed suicide within an hour of the time of hearing of Madame Sigida's death. The corpses of the four women wvere buried at the same time in the court yard of the common offenders prison. For weeks the cordon of vigilance was so closely maintained around the prison that nothing was known of what was happening within. Since the secret channel of informa tion has been reopened, it has been learned that the men carried out their threat of suicide. They met together and thirty of them shared what poison they coul'd obtain and then wvent to their cells to die. The quantity of pol bon which had been smuggled into the prison was not sufficient to kill quickly, but in tihe course of thre evening two of those who had shared it, Bobookoy and Koluzny, died. There convulsions and the dead silence 'which reigned in the other cells roused the attention of the guards, and they immediately summoned physicians, whlo admin istered emetics to the survivors arid endeavored by every means to counter act the effects of the poison. A BAPTIST MINISTER HANGED. Five Thousand People Witniess the Execu t on of Wife Murderer Duncan. OzaRK, Ala., Feb 21.-The Rev. Henry Duncan,' a Baptist mrinister, was hanged here at noon to-day for the murder of his wife. The execution was public, in violation of a State laxv, and was witnesesd by 5,000 people. Duncan had been pastor of a Bap tist chunch in this county for several years; and was very popular. Last July his wife died very suddenly, and was buried the next day. A few days later Duncan wvent away, accompamned by a young wonman named Georgia Baldree, the daughter of a rich planter This aroused suspicion, and the Coroner had the body of M1rs. Duncan exhumed. An autopsy showed that she had (lied strycniine poisoning. A warrant was sworn out for Duncan, and he was found in Florida, where he and Miss Baldree were living as man and wife. He was brought b>ack, tried and con victed, and about two weeks ago made a confession, implicating Mi1ss B3aldree. She wvas arrested, but released a few days later. The execution was public to-day be cause the jail is not enclosed by a fence, and the Sheriff had no place where he could conduct it in private. He had the gallows built out in a field.

Thn land is on Congaree creek, four and one-half miles from here on the Augusta road. The South-bound road, as surveyed,- will run almost through it. THE SA LUDA FA CTORY BOUGHT. What is a still greater enterprise than this is the purchase of the Saluda Factory and 000 adjoining acres, a part of which front on the river, giving splendid water power for a score of factories. Mr. Lynch regards this as a monica tous transaction, rneaning much for the State. M1anager Pardeeof the Manufacturers' Record, held a consul tation with hini, and has written up the matter for his next issue. Mr. Lynch says he has other enter prises in the state in prospect. He leaves for Boston 'to-morrow. His address will be 186 Washington street. To-iuor:ow Mr. Lynch will meet the owners of the factory and adjacent lands, and papers will be signed.

[Si ecial to the News and Courier ] "Watch Ben Tilllnan and the March Convention of Farmers," said a drum mer yesterday to a Reporter for the News and Courier, "and you will see sonie developments. I have been around a great deal recently to the various towns in the upper part of the State, and the farriirs are quiet over the Con vention, but sonie of the local politi cians are comforting themselves with a great denl of clap-trap about the failure of the Ward Convention to nominate a ticket. The steady, well-to-do farmers do not seem to take any interest in the Convention, and I doubt if the Conven tion will be a representative one. At all events the Convention will be held. The leaders of the Farmers' movement will see to that. And a ticket will be nominated with a whoop and a loud hurrah. You will likely see the follow ing names on the ticket, at least from what I can hear the following slate has been made up: For Governor, Benjamin R. TillIman, of Edlgetleld. For Lieutenant Governor, John WV. Ferguson, of Laurens. For Secretary of State, M. L. Donald son, of Greenville. For Attorney General, Y. J. Pope, of New berry. For Adjutant General, Hugh L.
