The celebration of the 1 Centennial begins this morning. The city is well filled with visitors and still they come. The weather this morning iS not auspicic-is, but as there is sc much need of ru. no one complans. About twenty 'he counties have erected arches on Main street of beauti ful design and decc-ated with bun tin gags and mottoes. Yesterday morning I had the pleas ura to witness the exercises of the Win throp Training School in its anuiversa rycelebration. Theyoungladies acquit ted themselves very creditably and give evidence of thorough training. The school is doing 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 i rhere from all parts of the State to listen once again to the hero and states To-morrow will be the grand miltary parade, and several companies are al ready here and many more are ex p?cted. The Centennial will close on Friday night with the grandest pyrotechnic display ever witnessed in Columbia.

G The Columbia Register is now giving K iti attention to the condition of the :L L condition of the country roads. This L is a very importaRt matter. No ques- I tion a better system of country roads 1 would be a great saving to the farmer. 0~ 01 This is a good subject for the alliance 6 to take up. - S1 We publish elsewhere how the rep- , resentation will stand in the next u Legislature if the reapportionment is N based upon the last United States cen- Y 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.A wORTH READING. Hon. Horace Chilton, the new sena tor in Congress from Texas, recently A appointed by Gov. Hogg, has expressed bf him'self very forcibly and eloquently on s the sub-treasury scheme in a speech at cc Tyler, . his home town. He possesses what he calls in his speech "cornfieldg comon sense." The Senator said: Conenigthis scheme~ my own 01 Sduty is plain. The Constitution of my re country is against it. Economy, busi- p) ness judgment, good old cornfield com- st mon seuse, the experience of the past, w the hopes of the future, the unanimous a: warnings of our great statemen, all ar stand in its way. If all these barriers. re should ever be broken down, if folly L should ever rule the head and despera- U *tion fold the ballot of his country, s< and a trial should be given to that I, _scheme, our farmers will find that be- in yond the depths of their present hard- at ship there is a still deeper depth in the at misfortunes of the condition produced w by the collapse of the sub-tr'easury- hi "It comes now to perplex the coun- et sels of the people, to divide the organ- de ized and exultant forces which in a few .~ars at most will bring the country S. back to the measure and equity ei of the plan of the fathers, where to agricult.ure led all other interests in profit, importance, and indepeadente. st, "And it is said that the managers or su this scheme will force the Djemocratic party to lend to it the endorsement of yV its great name. In other words, that is they will capture the Democratic party 0r and pervert it. This seemis to be the in settled policy of the sub-Treasury H leaders in T2exas. Let them try. The 0( Democratic party in Texas has already spoken. I believe it will speak again rc in the samne steady tones of vigor and resolution. Trhe best men in Texas, ar the best farmners, the: best mechanics, tr the best merchants, the best rep)resen- ut tatives of every profession, make up the Democratie party, an~d when its voice at rises from the schoolhouses and village re meetings in the campaign of 1892, it Isi will have in~ it no tremor of uncertain- t ty or retreat, but it wil' swell and con- m solidate into a'deternmined negative as grand and as broad as Texas herself." in ____________________ti pi SOUTHERN BAP'TIS.

Policeman .Wilson Killed by Barlkeep4 Buchanan on Account of a Negro Woman. [Special to Sunday News.] CHARLOTTE, May 9.-Wild rumoi were atloat here to-day that a riot wz in progress in Chester; that two me and three women had been killed, an that the military companies had bee called out to presesve the peace. .L definite information .,ould be obtaine here, consequently I went by the fir train to Chester and found the ruiric to be false. There was considerable excitemeu about the killing of Policeman W. I Wilson by Fred Buchanan, a barkeepe The shooting occurred last night, an I have gathered the particulars fror uninterested people, and they are i follows: It seems that Buchanan, wli keeps a bar room iu Chester, has Lee intimate with a colored woman of il repute, and that this woman has bee loatiing around the passenger dep< greatly to the annoyance ofjassengei and otilials. She had been warned t keep away from the depot, and tl oflicials threatened to enforce the usu law about licenses, but she persisted i annoying them. Yesterday Policema Wilson arrested her under the law, bt after promising to keep away from tl btation, the railroad agent secured h release. She went to her paramou Buchanan, it'issaid and told him thi Wilson had arrested her. Later on Wi son spassed by Buchanan's bar roon and Buchanan hailed him with tI statement that he wanted to see hiri Wilson stopped a short distance froi the bar room. Buchanan came out ar said to him: "You are no gentleman and went on to say that Wilson had t right to arrest the woman. Wilson r plied that, as a policeman, he had doi his duty, and he would - continue to it. It is said that Wilson here shook b finger in Buchanan's face, whereup( Buchanan shot him through the brea narrowly missing his heart. Wils( then hit Buchanan with his club. W, son said in his ante mortem sWe4 that he could h.L Buchanan, bt . not desire to kill him. e'anwhile another policeman, Cook son by name,eame up. and Buchanan was separated from Wilson. Cooksou then took Buchanan's pistol away from Wilson, who 'had captured it, and in other ways indicated that he wa. Buchanan's friend. Wilson was taken home, where h( died this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Bu. banan escaped, although he had beeu arrested by Cookson. He is now al large, but his friends say he will sur render as soon as he is assured that I will not be lynched. It is thought that he is still in town. Diligent search is being made for hiv: ad the military company is guardim, all the roads leading out of Chester Cookson has been arrested as an acces sory after the fact and is in jail. Th jury of inquest was in session when I left Chester late this afternoon. Th ante-mortem statement was givep.b3 Wilson bef,)re he died to J. T.9F-t lerk of Court, and it concurs witA foregoing account. It was a cruel d d A brave man has been killed. Wilsor was a son of Pr Aate Judge J. S. Wil son, and was about 40 years of age He was highly respected and was ar honorable man. Judging from what ] could learn, public opinion is ver3 strong against Buchanan. Every pos ible effort will be made to capture him but there will be no lynching. At an3 vent the town is quiet, but consider able indignation is manifested.

Terrible Stories of the Destruction by Forest Fires in Michigan. DETROIT, MICII., May 12.-The hoped for security from the recent rain (lid not materialize for the panic-stricken inhabitants of the burned district in this State. some idea of the vastness of the fire district can be gained from the fact that almost any of the counties now filled with fire is as large as the whole State of Ihode island. The Toledo and Northern Michigan Railroad has been obliged to abandon all attempts to run cars noilh of the Clare County line. A freight train and crew bad a nar row escape from cremation yesterday. Ties in many places *ere so badly burned that the rails spread when the train went over. When i -ar 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 'n the southeast and into Newaygo, Mecosta and Aceaug couDties. Cook's Station and Barton, both in the line of the tire, have not been heard from and are supposed to be destroyed. West Troy, a few miles north of Otia, has -been attacked by the fipe 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 fighti ng fire for the past three days and many of the smaller places are wiped oft the face of the earth. Where Nivarna and Fremoun~t, on the Flint and Marquette road, one stood there is nothing now but piles of ashes. .Thle village of Lake has not been heard from since its last ap)peal for help.
