A SIGNIFICANT WARNING.
Tile Authorities Getting Heady for an Up¬
rising of Anarchists And socialist#.
From marly points in the United States*
notably Horn the West, conies iiitelli
gence that the anarchist leaders mean
what they say, that some stirring scenes
will be enacted all over the United States
within the next few weeks. A general
uprising has been planned with a view
to revolutionizing the present state of
society, and burying in one common ruin
all existing institutions. This tremen¬
dous undertaking is to be accomplished
by a sudden revolt. The torch is to be
applied in a hundred cities, and the cap¬
italists ot the country, their wives and
children are to be murdered—sacrificed,
as the anarchists say—in the cause of
liberty. The terrible scenes Of the
French Revolution, when “the streets of
Paris were red with blood;” the massacre
attending the uprising against the Carl
ists of England in 1830, and the riots in
the streets of Paris in 1848; the uprising
in Europe in 1871; the rioting and burn¬
ing of property in the United States dur¬
ing the great railroad strike of ’77, and,
later still, the Haymarket riot_ in ’86,
were all uprisings of the anarchists, and
unsuccessful attempts to achieve their
alms.
SOUTH CAROLINA PROHIBITIONISTS.
The executive committee of the Prohi¬
bitionists o South Carolina, met at An¬
derson. The object of the meeting, was
to ascertain what progress has been made
by those persons who were appointed to
circulate petitions for the signatures of
landowners desiring an election to be
held in August in accordance with the
provisions of the Murray prohibition bill.
In Pendleton, hot words the discussion and angry of pas¬ the
sions grew out of
question, and, but for the wise counsel of
some cool heads, might have ended in
something serious.
A NEW TYPE MEASURE.
At the session of the International
Typographical Union at Buffalo, N. Y.,
Mr. McKellar, type founder of Philadel¬
phia, presented a new system of measur¬
ing type. It would abolish the em quad
substitute measurement now universally in use and
the letter “m” and twenty-six
letters of the alphabet must make fifteen
letter “ems.” Standard fonts would no
longer exist. Mr. McKellar received a
vote of thanks.

SINGULAR COINCIBENCK.
The body of R. W. White, a well
known and prominent citizen of Danville,
Va., was found in the canal. He had
been unwell for some time, and went to
the rear of a drug store on the canal to
get some medicine, but failing to arouse
the clerk, he turned to go, and fell acci
dentally into the canal. It is a curious
coincidence that Dr. Hutchins, another
prominent citizen and brother-in-law of
White, accidentally shot himself a short
time a "°i “nd it was some time before his
body was found, in about the same place.
