ELBERT IL AULL, EDITOr ELTBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. W. P. HOUSEAL, NEWBERRY, S. C, THURSDAY, 31AY 14, 1S91. EDITOURIAL CORRESPONDENCE. COLUMBIA, S. C., May 13.-The C-tpi tal city is dressed in holiday attire. Main street is one continuous stream of garland flags and all man ner of beauti ful decorations. The celebration of the Centennial begins this morning. The city is well filled with visitors and still they come. The weather this morning is not auspicious, but as there is so much need of rain no one complans. About twenty of the counties have erected arches ou Main street of beauti ful design and decorated with bunting ,ags and mottoes. Yesterday morning I had the pleas ura to witness the exercises of the Win throp Training School in its anniversa ry celebration. The young ladies acquit ted themselves very cre-ditably and give evidence of thorough training. The school is doing an excellent work, and Oeserves well of the city of Columbia and tue State. Gen. Wade Hampton delivered his address this morning and many people _-arehere from all parts of the State to listen once again to the hero and states man. To-morrow will be the grand miltary parade, and several companies are al ready here and many m6re are ex pted. The Centennial will close on Friday night with the grandest pyrotechniC display ever witnessed in Columbia. Newberry is well represented here already and many more are expected to-day and to-morrow. The city ex tends to all a very hearty welcomepa thr;ws- open her gates ia.14sitors, Q -bspible will be done wia-e t eir stay pleasant. E.H.A. The Columbia Register is now giving its attention to the condition of the condition of the country roads. This is a very important matter. No ques tion a better system of country roads would be a great saving to the farmer. - This is a good sulbject for the alliance to take up. We publish elsewhere how the rep resentation will stand in the next Legislature if the reapportionment is based upon the last United States cen sus. It will not affect the representa tion from Newberry. Charleston will lose five representatives. It is quite probable that the last census will be adopted by the Legislature. .,WORTH RIEADING. Hon. Horace Chilton, the new sena tor in Congress from Texas, recently appointed by Gov. Hogg, has expressed himself very forcibly and eloquently on the sub-treasury scheme in a speech at Tyler,. his home town. He possesses what hie calls in his speech "cornfield common sense." The Senator said: ;"Concerning this scheme my owvn duty is plain. The Constitution of my country~is against it. Economy, busi nessju~dgnment, good old cornfield com mon sense, the experience of the past, the hopes of the future, the unanimous warnings of our great statemnen, all stand in its way. If all these barriers. should ever be~ broken down, if folly should ever rule the head and despera tion fold the ballot of his country, and a trial should be given to that scheme, our farmers wi:1 find that be yond the depths of their present hard ship there is a still deeper depth in the misfortunes of the condition prod uced by the collapse of the sub-treasury. "It comes now to p)erplex the coun sels of the people, to divide the organ ized and exultant ft rees wvhicn mn a few ..ars at most will bring the country back to the measure and equity of the plan of the fathers, where agriculture led all other interests in profit, importance, and indepeadente. "And it is said that the managers of this scheme will force the Democratic party to lend to it the endorsement of its great name. In other words, that they will capture the Democratic party and pervert it. This seems to be the settled policy of the sub-Treasury leaders in Texas. Lei. them try. The Democratic party in Texas has already spoken. I believe it will speak again in the sam2 steady tones of vigor and resolution. The best men in Texas, the best farmers, the best mechanics. the b st mecan the best rep)resen tatives of every profession, make up the Democratie party, and wvhen its voice rises from the schoolhouses and village meetings in the campaign of 189'2, it will have in it no tremor of uncertain ty or retreat, but it wvill swvell and con solidate into a'determined negative as grand and as broad as Texas herself." SOUTHERN BAPTISTS. - alsing Money for the Southern Theologi cal Seminary. BIRtMINGHIAM, ALA., May 9.-The Southern Baptist Conv-ention reassem bled at 9 o'clock this morning. The first regular business 'was the appointment of committees. Governor Northern, of Georgtia, first vice-president, occupied the chair dur ing most of the morning.

Dr. H. W. Battle, of North Carolina, and Dr. S. -I H. Fort, of St. Louis, urging a more persistent efl'ort an.d larger contribu - ions. An affecting scenec :ollowed the adoption of this report, when the ven erable Dr. J. W. 31. Williams was called. on to lead in prayer. The comn mittee on wvork in paipal fields made its report, and speeches were made in behalf of thbe cause by llev. C. G. Blair y, of Baitimiore, and Re'v. A. J.

How the Legislature Would be Affected if the Porter Census Should be Adopted as the Basis of Representation. To the Editor of The News and Cou rier: Taking the figures published in your paper of last Friday, we find the wiole population of the State to be 1, 159,901. If the legislature shall adopt the United States census as a correct t enumeration of the population and basis of apportionment of members of the house of representatives, the ratio of representation would be one to every 9,2S2 inhabitants, approximately, Di vide this number into the population of the several counties, and it would give one hundred and six representat ives divided as follows: Abbevile 5, Aiken .3. Anderson 4 Barnwell 4, Beaufort 3, Berkeley .5, .

The counties having fractions of over 9,000 are Williamsburg, Chesterfield and Berkeley. Those having fractions over 8,000 are Richland, Spartanburg and Chester. Those having fractions of over 7,000 are Newberry, Barnwell, Greenville and Piqkens. Those over 6,000 are Union, Anderson, Sumter. Florenee and Beaufort. Over 4,000 are Marlboro, Clarendon and Charleston.

Diastrous Fire in Augusta's Carolina C Suburb, LSpecial to News and Courier.] c AUGUSTA, Ga., May 9.-Hamburg, i Augusta's Carolina suburb, was swept a y a $10,000 fire this morning. The f1'r started in MIr. Dave Lipfield's e stables, in the rear of his house, on the :orner of Centre and Mercer streets. Before the tire was discovered it had g gained considerable headway, and a aided by a strong wind blowing fromi the east. ..rept along the fences and r >uthouses until the brick residence was reached and in quick order the entire place was enveloped in flames. The store under MIr. Lipfield's residence , was ruin by Mtr. Isadore Rubenstemn, nd the fire ate out the entire building nd spread to the adjoining store and residence, owned and occupied by Mr. Louis Schiller, the mayor of Hamburg. Uncle Sam's postoffice was in Mr. I Schiller'sstore and it went up in flames. i< n the rear of M1r. Lipfield's residence, d in the back yard, vlas the Richmond nd Danville Railhoad trestle, and d about one hundred feet of the trestle i ias burned away. Mr. Rubenstein had I his horse- and buggy in Mr. Lipfield's e stable antd the horse was roasted to t! :leath in the fire. r. Lipfield estimates ais loss at o .5,000 and has no insurance. His pohi- o ies expired a wveek ago and he refused L to renewv them.t r. Rubenstd n puts the loss of his d t k of goods at $2,000, wit3 $1,000 in- I surance. t 3r. Schiller went over to Langley u~ yesterday with a fishing party' and it e is at kniown whether he was insured r not, but Mrs. Schiller is under they m .pression the property is insured. EHis loss, however, will amount to $20, It will tale $1,000 to replace the rail road trestles. The Richmond and Danville trains are using the South Carolina Railway tracks between nere and GlraniteviPle ( until the trestle is rebuilt. d The fire is supposed to have origin- s ated from a spark from one of the rail- I road locomotives falling on the dry t shingle roof of Mr. Liptield's stable. A 1 train passed over the trestle only r. fc'w v~ minutes before the fire.t The sufierers by the fire are complain- t ing to-day of having lost a large quan- t tity of goods, which were stolen by t piiagers. The fire has about swept ( Eamburg away, all the business centre '] now being gone. Trhe buil:iings des- y troyei. were two-story brick structures. t t Impressed W.ith Newberry. c Mr. Robert Weidensall, of Omaha, ~ Neb., who recently visited Newberry, C w~rites to the Lutheran Observer as fol "While in Columbia I learned that 1 Newberry C'ollege wvas but a few hours distant, and I~eould not forego the privilee of visit ing it, and particularly when I understood that my old friend, Rev. Geo. W. Holland, Ph.D., D. D., ~ was its president, and also aniot her and lder friend, Rev. W. C'. Schiaefl'er was the pastor of the Lutherain chureb att that place. I had a delightful visit, ~ and was royally entertained the short C time I was there. Newvberry and New berry College will henceforth occupy a lrger place in my mind andl my heart tan ever before. The college has a good reputation, and promises rnuch fr the future. They have several fine professor's houses on tile camipus, and are erecting another that will add very ruch to the appearance of the whole property. They have a plain but very good and serviceable college building, with high stories, roomy halls, con vniet class-roomls. fine society halls, fair library room, and desirable domi ory r omns. In all it 's a very credit a'le rrs't-class college building. I am told that this was the work of our veteran Nebraska Lutheran preacher, Rev. H. W. Kuhns. D. D., wvho is now in Omaha again. Dr. Kuhns was very kindly remembered by miaiy persons in an out of Newberry and well spoken of by them for what lie hal done. I was glad to hear it myself from the persons themselves and I now taket pleasure in telling it publi2ly to the readers of the Observer, for in this ser-e vice Dr. Kuhns had done a good and a lasting service for the whole church, a which will continue to serveithe church I long after he shall have been called e CLE3SON COLLEGE.

USpecial to Sunday News.] CHARLOTTE, May 9.-Wild rumors ,ere afloat here to-day that a riot was a progress in Chester; that two men nd three women had been killed, and hat the military companies had been alled out to presesve the peace.. No efinite information could be obtained ere, consequently I went by the first rain to Chester and found the rumor o be false. There was considerable excitement bout the killing of Policeman W. R. Vilson by Fred Buchanan, a barkeeper. he shooting occurred last night, and have gathered the particulars from ninterested people, and they are as )llows: It seems that Buchanan, who .eeps a bar room in Chester, has Leen ntimate with a colored woman of ill epute, and that this woman has been oatiing around the passenger depot reatly to the annoyance ofpassengers nd officials. She had been warned to eep away from the depot, and the t1icials threatened to enforce the usual aw about licenses, but she persisted in Linoying them. Yesterday Policeman ilson arrested her under the law, but Ler promising to keep away from the tatiou, the railroad agelm. sucured her -elease. She went to her paramour, 3uchanan, it'is said and told him that Wilson had arrested her. Later on Wil ;on passed by Buchanan's bar room, md Buchanan hailed him with the itatement that he wanted to see him. Wilson stopp-d a short distance from :he bar room. Juchanan came out and aid to him: "You are no gentleman," tud went on to say that Wilson had no right to arrest the woman. Wilson re plied that, as a policeman, he had done bis duty, and he would continue to do It. It is said that Wilson here shook his tinger in Buchanan's face, whereupon Buchanan shot him through the breast uarrowly missing his heart. Wilsou then hit Buchanan with his club. Wil son said in his ante mortenu s.-ttefan that he could hay.trd Buchanan, butWe'ot desire to kill him. einwbile another policeman, Cook n by name,-came up. and Buchanan as separated from Wilson. Cookson en took Buchanan's pistol away from ilson, who ;had captured it, and in her ways indicated that he was uchanan's friend. Wilson was taken home, where he .ed this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Bu ianan escaped, although he had been -rested by Cookson. He is now at rge, but his frieuds say he will sur uder as soon as he is assured that, he ill not be lynched. It is thought that he is still in town. ifigent search is being made for him id the military company is guarding , the roads leading out of Chester. ookson has been arrested as an acces >ry after the fact and is in jail. The iry of inquest was in session when I ft Chester late this afternoon. The ite-iortem statement was give- .y ilsoa bef're he died to J. T. , erk of Court, and it concurs wit" L regoing account. It was a cruel deed. brave man has been killed. Wilson 'as a son of Probate Judge J. S. Wil n, and was about 40 years of age. e was highly respected and was an onorable man. Judging from what I )uld learn, public opinion is very rong against Buchanan. Every pos ble effort will be made to capture him, ut there will be no lynchmng. At any cnt the town is quiet, but consider ble indignation is manifested. HE CLORED WOMAN IN TH E CASE A R RF.STED AS AN ACCESSORY. ESpecial to The State] CH A LOTTE, N.

Terrible Stories of the Destruction by Forest Fires in Michigan. )E'TRoIT, 1!cn., May 12.-The hoped for security from the recent rain (lid not materialize for the panie-stricken inhabitants of the burned district in this State. . 'ome idea of the vastness of the fire district can be gained from the fact that almost any of the counties now filled with tire is as large as the whole State of Rhode Island. The Toledo and Northern MIichigan Railroad has been obliged to abandon all attempts to run cars noi-h of the Clare County line.. A freight train and creW bad a nar row escape from cremation festerday. Ties in many places were so badly burned that the rails spread when the train went over. When near Moore's siding one of the cars in the centre of the train was derailed, and the train crew were obliged to abandon the rear part of the train after working until the cars began to smoke. Before they reached Farewell there was another de railment, and all but three of the train of eighteen cars were left to their fate. The wind shifted and drove the fire to the southeast and into Newaygo, Mecosta and Aceaug counties. Cook's Station and Barton, both in the line of the fire, have not been heard from and are supposed to be destroyed. W\est Troy, a few miles north of Otia, has been attacked by the fire since early yesterday morning and is supposed to be in ashes. Reports from Cadillac, Wexford County, state that the inhabitants of all the villages in the county have been out fighting fire for the past three days and many of the smaller places are wiped of! the face of the earth. Whbere Nivarna and Fremnount, on the Faint and Marquette road, one stood there is nothing now but piles of ashes. .The village of Lake has not been heard from since its last appeal for help.
