COLUMBIA, S. C.,May .-The CH 1pi
tal city is dressed in holiday attire.
Main street is one continuous stream of
garland flag. and all manner 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 ':omplains.
About twenty of the counties have
er.-cted arches on Main street of beauti
ful design and decorated with bunting
Sags and mottoes.
Yesterday rnrning I had the pleas
ura to witness the exercises of the Win
throp Training School in its anniversa
ry celebration. The your.g ladies acquit
ted themselves very creditably and give
evidence of thorough training. The
school is ioing an excellent work, and
deserves well of the city of Columbia
and tue State.
Gen. Wade Hampton delivered his
address this morning and many people
are here 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 more are ex
pected.
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 welcome and
throws open her gates to all visitors,
and everything possible will be done
to make their stay pleasant.

The Columbia Register is now giving
it; 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 subject for the alliance
to take up.
We publish elsewiere 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 la.st cenrus will be
adopted by the Legislature.
WORTH [READING.
-Hon. Horace Chilton, the new sena
tor in Congress from Texas, recently
appointed by Gov. Hcgg, has expressed
himself very forcibly .nd eloquently on
the sub-treasury scheme in a speech at
, Tyler, his home town. He possesses
what he calls in his speech "cornfield
comimon sense." The Senator said:
"Concerning this scheme my own
duty is plain. The Constitution of m,v
country is against it. iEconomy,. busi
ness judgmaent, good old cornfield com
mon sense, the experience of the past,
the hopes of the future, the unanimous
-warnings of our great statemlen, all
stand in its way. If all these barriers.
should ever be~broken down, if folly
Sshould ever rule the head and despera
- tion fold the ballot of his country,
and a trial should be given to that
scheme, our farmers will find that be
yond the depths of their present hard
ship there is a still deeper depth in the
misfortunes of the condition p)roduced
by the collapse of the sub-tr"asury.
"It comes now to p)erplex the coun
sels of the people, to divide the organ
ized and exultant forces wvhich in a few
years 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, impe-tance, and indepeadence.
"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 Densocratic party
and pervert it. Tfhis seems to be the
settled policy of tLe sub-Treasury
leaders in Texas. Let them try. The
Democratic party in Texas has already
spoken. I believe it wiil speak again
in the same steady tones of vigor and
resolution. The best men in Texas,
the best farmers, the best mechanics,
the best merchants, the best represen
tatives of every profession, make up the
Democratic party, and when its voice
rises from the schoolhouses and village
meetings in the campaign of 1S92,. it
will have in it no tremor of uncertain
ty or retreat, but it will swell and con
solidate into a determined negative as
grand and as broad as Texas herself.''

HAIBURG IN ASHES.
A Diastrous Fir. in Augusta's Carolin:
Suburb,
LSpecial to News and Courier.]
AUGUSTA, Ga., May 9.--Hamburg
Augusta's Carolina suburb, was swep
by a $10,000 fire this morning. Th
fire started in Mir. Dave Lipfield'
stables, in the rear of his house, on th
corner of Centre and MIercer streets.
Before the tire was discovered it ha<
gained considerable headway, an4
aided by a strong wind blowing fron
the east, crept along the tences an<
outhouses until the brick residence wa
reached and in quick order~ the entir
place was enveloped in flames. Th
store under MIr. Lipfield's residenc
was run by Mr. Isadore Rubenstein
and the fi~re ate out the entire building
and spread to the adjoining store am
residence, owned and occupied by Mr
Louis Schiller, the mayor of Hamburg
EUcle Sam's postoffice was in Mir
Shiller'sstore and it went up in flames
In the rear of MIr. Liptield's residence
in the beek yard. v:as the Rich mont
and .Danville Railhoad trestle, an<
about one hundred feet of the trestli
was burned away. M1r. Rubenstein ha<
his horse and buggy in Mr. Lipfield'
stable and the horse was roasted t<
death in the fire.
MIr. Lipfield estimates his loss a
$,000 and has no insurance. His poli
cies expired a week ago and he refuse<
to renew them.
MIr. Rubenstein puts the loss of hi;
decCk of goods at $2,000, with $1,000 in
surance.
31r. Schiller went over to Langle3
yesterday with a fishing party andi
is not known whether he was insurec
or not, but Mfrs. Schiller is under th<
impression the property is insured
His loss, however, will amount to $20,
0N0.
It will tale $1,000 to replace the rail
road trestles.
The Richmond and Danville train
are using the South Carolina Railwa3
tracks betwe,i here and GranitevP14
until the trestle is rebuilt.
The fire is supposed to have origin
ated from a spark fronm one of the rail
road locomotives falling on the dr3
shingle roof of Mr. Lipfield's stable. '
train passed over the trestle only a fev
minutes before the fire.
The sufierers by the fire are corn plain
ing to-day of having lest a large quan

pillagers. The fire has about swep
Hamburg away, all th e business centri
now being gone. The buildings des

larger place in my mind and my hearl
than ever before. The college has
good reputation, and promises mued
f)r the future. They have several fin<
professor's houses on the campus, and
are erecting another that will add very
much to the appearance of the wvhol<
property. They have a plain but ver)
good and serviceable college building

RoE, Iay .-The Italie says: "The
Italian Govern ment is about to address
a circular to the European powers sub
mitting the, conduct of the United
States Government in the New Orleans
affair to their judgment. Italy will
thus be the initiator of an international
agreement to compel the United States
to find means to guarantee the protec
tion of foreign subjects."
The Italian press is indignant at the
report of the New Orleans Grand Jury.
The Popolo Romano says it will be im
possible hereafter for any civilized
cNuntry to make a treaty with the
United States based upon reciprocal
protection of the lives of citizens of
either country.

DEATH OF COOSAW'S FOUNDER.
-Mr. Robert Adger Dies Suddenly of Apo
plexy.
[Special to the State.]
CHA R LESTO N, S. C., May 8.-Mi0.
Robert Adger, for over half a century
identified with commercial Charleston,
(lied suddenly, of apoplexy, this after
noon. He had been ailing for several
days, but went to his oflice this morn
ing, feeling better. Retturning home
later, he was stricken, even whbile beiL'g
con.'atulated on his impIroved condi
tion.
MIr. Adger was seventy-seven years
old, and once a member of the old firm
of James Adger & Cco, which estab
lished the first coast steamship line in
the United States. At the time of his
death he was manager of the Coosaw
Phosphate Company, of which he was
the founder. Mir. Adger was quiet and
unobtrusive, but an honored and influ
ential citizen.
TO THE LEGAL END.
The Coosaw Will Not Remove Its Plant
to Florida.
[Special to the Register.]
CH A RLESTON, S. C., MIay 8.-The
Coosaw case came up ini court again to
day. By agreement of council on both
sides it was decided to postpone the
hearing until the 25th. when it is hoped
that Chief JIustice Filler and Judge
Bond, together with .Judge Simonton,
will be able to settle the matter. At
torney General Pope submitted a mo
tion for a remiand from the Federal to
the State Court. Several other mo
tions on behalf of the State and of the
Coosaw Company were also submitted.
Tfhe story of tile removal of the Coosaw
plant to'Florida, p)ublished recently in
the Jacksonville papers, does not seem
to be believed here. It is possib)le that
the Coosaw Company may send some
of its plant to Florida, but it is stated
on goodl authority that the octoptus will
continue the fight to its legal end.

AN UGLY XURDEIt AT CHESTER.
Policetuan Wilson Kliled by Barkeeper
Buchanan on Account of a Negro
Woman.
LSpecial to Sunday News.]
CIARLOTTE, May s.-Wild rumors
were alloat here to-day that a riot was
in progress in Chester; that two men
Ind -ee women had been killed, and
that the military companies had been
aalled out to presesve the peace. No
definite information could be obtained
here, consequently I went by the first
train to Chester and found the rumor
to be false.
There was considerable excitement
ibout the killing of Policeman W. R.
Xilson by Fred Buchanan, a barkeeper.
The shooting occurred last night, and
I have gathered the particulars from
uninterested people, and they are as
follows: It seems that Buchanan, who
keeps a bar room m Chester. has L.een
intimate with a colored woman of ill
repute, and that this woman has been
loafiing around the passenger depot
re:4tl% to the annoyance of passengers
aud ot.icials. She had been warned to
keep away from ".0 depot, and the
ollicials threatened . enforce the usual
aw about licenses, but she persisted in
a:1no1yiLg them. Yesterday Policeman
Wilson arrested her under the law, but
after promising to keel) away from the
statioa, the railroad agent becured her
release. She went to her paramour,
Buchanan, it'is said and told him that
Wilson had arrested her. Later on Wil
son .passed by Buchanan's bar room,
and Buchanau hailed him with the
statement that he wanted to see him.
Wilson stopped a short, distance from
the bar room. Buchanan came out and
said to him: "You are no gentleman,"
and went ou to say that Wilson had no
right to arrest the woman. Wilson re
plied that, as a policeman, he had done
his duty, and he would continue to do
1E.
It is said that Wilson here shook his
finger in Buchanan's face, whereupon
Buchanan shot him through the breatt,
narrowly missing his heart. Wilson
then hit Buchanan with his club. Wil
son sj.*d in his ante mortem statement
that he could have killed Buchanan,
but that he did not desire to kill him.
Meanwhile another policeman, Cook
son by name, caie up. and Buchanan
was separated from Wilson. Cookson
then took Buchanan's pistol away from
Wilson, who ;had captured it, and iu
other ways indicated. that he was
Buchanan's friend.
Wilson was taken home, where he
died this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Bu
chanan escaped, although he had been
arrested by Cookson. He is now at
large, but bis friends say be will sur
render as soon as he is assured that he
will not be lynched.
it is thought that he is still in town.
Diligent search is bein,- made for him
and the military company is guarding
all the roads leading out of Chester.
Cookson has been arrested as an acces
sory after the fact and is in jail. The
jury of inquest was in session when I
left Chester late this alternoon. The
ante-mortem statement was given by
Wilson before he died to J. T. Elliott,
clerk of Court, and it concurs with the
foregoing account. It was a cruel deed.
A brave man has been killed. Wilson
was a son of Probate Judge J. S. Wil
son, and was about 40 years of age.
He was highly respected and was an
honorable man. Judging from what I
could learn, public opinion is very
strong against Buchanan. Every pos
sible effort will be made to capture him,
but there will be no lynchmng. At acy
event the town is quiet, but consider
able indignation is manifested.
HE COLOJRED WOMAN IN THE CASE AR
RESTED AS AN ACCESSORY.
[Special to The State)
CH A RLOTT E, N. C., May 11.-ThUis
morning Chief of Police Mason received
a telegratm from the chief of police of
Chester requesting him to arrest Man
nie Maddox as accessory to the murder
of Policeman W. A. IR. Wilson. She
is the negro woman over whom the
killing occurred. She had been living
in Charlotte, but wvent to-Chester some
time ago. She arrived here this morn
ing and was promptly placed under
arrest. She has two children here.
To the officers she stated that she left
Chester just to escape the worry and
excitement attending the killing of the
policeman. She will be sent to Chester
to-night.

FATAL MOUNTAIN FEUD.
A Bride Given One Hundred Lashes-Three
Men Killed on Account of It.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 21.--The
details of a murderous affray which
occurred on Woolford Creek on the
North Carolina line have been received
here. Jonathan Bell, an 01(d aad well
to-do man, the head of a mountain

DEATH OF THE BRIDE.
NAsHVILLE, May 12-A Chatta
nooga special says: "As a result of t.he
recent white cap visitation near D)uck
town; Ten n., the young bride whbo was
whipped by woiten white caps, has

As to not making any friends he says
that, on the contrary, he was unani

A WHOLE STATE IN FLAMES.
Terrible Stories of the Destruction by Forest
Fires in Michigan.
PETROIT, MIC., May 1:2.-The hoped
for security fron the recent rain did
not inaterialize for the panic-stricken
inhabitants of the burned district in
this State. .
Sonie idea of the vastness of the fire
district can be gained from the fact
that almost any of the counties now
filEd with fireis as large as the whole
Slate of Rhode Island. The Toledo
and Norihern2 Michigan Railroad has
been obliged to abandon all attempts
to run cars north of the Care County
line.
A freight train and crew had a nar
row escape from cremation yesterday.
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 mid 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. West
Troy, a few miles nortb of Otia, has
been attacked by the fire since early
yesterday rnorning and is supposed to
be in ashes.
Reports from Cadillac, Wexford
County, state that the inhabitants of
all the villages in thbe county have been
out fighting fire for the past three days
and many of the smaller places are
wiped ofi the face of the earth. Where
Nivarna anid Frenrount, on the Flint
and Marquette road, one stood there is
nothing now but piles, of ashes.
The village of Lakie has not been
heard fromn since its last app)eal for help.
The fire is sweeping through the waods
near Redi Cloud, Nowyago County,
.hile more than one hundred miles
away across the State the little hamrlet
of Tfaft is in a gulf of flame. Monton,
in Wexford County, abrove Cadillac. is
cut off from coniinunication wit h the
outside world.
- The latest news from Traverse City
is to the effect that the entire popula
tion is out lighting the tire. Millions
upon mil lions oif lo.gs are burning all
wer the centre of the State.

[Special to The State.]
ORANGEBURIt, S. C., May .12.-When

eeded to charge the jury in !!'e Her
long nmurder ease, to this effect. That

culty, it wvas murder; but if he did not
follow hirn with this intent and the
quarrel arose su bsequten tly, tinder the
circumstances the verdict should be
manslaughter.

fifty minutes, and returned a verJict
