There is every probability that the B&nrweU lynchers will be tried this week. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has decided that the Bible shall not be used in the public schools of that State. Summertou, Clarendon County, will soon have a newspaper. Mr. P. G. Bowman, of Bishopville, will be the editor. Mrs. President Harrison, Russell B. Harrison, the President’s son, and a party of friends, spent Friday in Charleston. The snow in Colorado is said to l*e the deepest on record, in some parts of that State it is sixty feet above the top of the telegraph poles. The coal mine, near Ashland, Wis consin, has closed on account of a strike of the miners. One thousand men are thus thrown out of employ ment. The building of the Bowen Merrill book concern, of Indianaitolis, was destroyed by lire on Monday. Ten men were killed and eighteen were injured. Fire destroyed about 14,000 bales of cotton at Pel/.er, Greenville County, on March la. The loss is between $00,- 000 and $75,000 which is fully covered by insurance. Henry Cabot I/wlge has introduced ia Congress a Federal election bill, which, while on its face applicable to any part of the country, is intended to apply specially to the South. Rev. David McGrew, a colored Bap tist preacher, and two other colored persons were run over by a train and instantlv killed, near Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday of last week. While some men were working in a railroad cut near Cumberland, Mary land, on Friday, a mass of earth fell upon them. Three persons were kill ed and three others seriously injured. Major Christian H. Huber, one of New Irerry's ablest lawyers and one of South Carolina’s most distinguished sons, died at his home in Newberry on March 12, in the sixty-second year of his age. The ladies of Richmond arc endeav oring to secure the house in that city occupied by Jefferson Davis during the war. It is to be used ns a museum of Confederate relics and a memorial hall. Both houses of the Kentucky legis lature have passed a bill calling a State constitutional convention, to be held the coming summer. The work of the convention will be submitted to the voters of the State. An explosion of dynamite occurred at the Brooklyn waterworks on Thurs day. Two laborers were blown to pieces, parts of their bodies being thrown in every direction. Two oth ers were fataHy injured. BConfedcrate Memorial Day in Atlan ta, Ga., April 26, promises to be an unusually interesting event. United State* Senator Daniels is to be the or ator, and thousands of ex-Confedemtee will flock to Atlanta to hear the gifted Virginia orator. A number of promi nent Confederate officers, including Gens. Beauregard, Lawton, Roger A. Pry or and Fitihugli Lee, have accep ted invitations to attend. A land slide at Troy, N. Y., on Sat urday, at 2 A. M., destroyed two houses and killed three persons. There were twenty-three people in the two houses, and it is wonderful that the loss of life was not greater. The Democratic municipal primary of Florence was held on Tuesday. Jerome P. Chase was nominated for Intendant, and Messrs. F. P. Coving ton, W. J. Bradford and W. J. Brown for Aldermen. The fourth alderman will be elected at another primary. Col. D. K. Norris, a distinguished farmer, of Anderson, and a trustee of Clemson College, recently received a , ,, slight paralytic stroke. It will not in- ‘'* u ' •e with! • "SB* A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER The Pee Dee Alliance, of Ben- nettsville, one of the most pro gressive newspapers published in Eastern South Carolina, early the present Gubernatorial discussion put forward Mr. B R. Tillman, of Edgefield, as its choice for Governor. It should al -o be remembered that at a recent meeting of the fanners of Marlboro, held at Bennettsville, in response to Mr. Shell’s call, delegates were elected to the March Convention who were instructed to vote for Tillman for Governor. But iu the last issue of the Alliance that paper seems to have discerned the er ror, and the dangers that will arise therefrom, of this mis guided movement. It sees now what has long since been per fectly plain to many of its con temporaries. The Alliance now renounces Tiilman, saying: “In former utterances we warmly recommended Mr. B. R. Tillman for Governor, wo now think we were wrong and say so.” This is a frank expression and every one must admit that such hon esty will not be without effect. Our contemporary points out clearly to its readers the injus tice and inexpediency of class antagonism and warns them of the deleterious effects that will follow such a conflict us surely as night follows the day. It advises moderation and warns the people to steer clear of the “one man power. ” To use our contemporary’s own words: “But if they (the people) allow, iu the county, or State, men of such narrow views to inculcate their narrow policies, then we say God have mercy on the ‘Old Ship of State,’ for when she dashes among the breakers, such men have not the sagacity to guide her safely through and shipwreck is at hand.” This is in full accord with the senti ments of The News. The News is satisfied with the present administration af fairs ; the Alliance thinks there is much in it with which to find fault, but with this exception the two now occupy common ground. Wo sincerely trust that the Alliance', in renouncing Mr. Tillman, is but a reflex of changed sentiment of the Col.

The March Convention- Editor Darlington Netvs : The farmers’ movement has been under way about three years and I see no harm it has done yet. The fact is, it has done good as some of its severest crit ics admit. Several conventions have been, held and all have ex cited the same unfavorable com ment and the cry that you will split the Democratic party has been raised every time. I would like to assure the country of one thing, and it is this : No move ment depending for support on the farmers will ever ruin South Carolina or any other State. I have not advocated the March Convention and, if I had been consulted, would not have consented to its being called, but I am certain it is not going to ruin the Democratic party. I complained a few days ago to one of our Congressmen, who gets five thousand a year and leaves his post, whenever a big fee is offered for professional service, of the delays of court in the famous James case and the consequent expense to the conn classes of Government em ployes. All things end sometimes, not { even the Blair Educational bill is an exception to this rule. The Senate has decided to vote | upon that measure next Thurs day. It is probable, but not certain, that it will pass. The action of that packed jury known as the Senate com mittee on Elections in deciding to report in favor of the Repub lican Senatorial contestants from Montana has raised a storm of indignation among Democrats and when the report gets before the Senate some red hot speech es may be expected. The Oklahoma Territorial bill has passed the House, and having previously passed thej Senate is now in the hands of the President. The Senate has obeyed the de mand of Senator Chandler, and passed a resolution striking from the Record some remarks made by Senator Call concern ing the Senator from New Hampshire. Such action will not injure Mr. Call, nor will it convince anybody that the lan guage was not deserved by the JfpfPg WM /v ' t v.;,. r "V mi -.r:„ J , ISE 181 SA m E x> q xi O . .
