MILL BURNED. Thursday night last,
Simkin's Mil, in Edgefeld County, below
Beech Island, in South Carolina, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire. The mill was used
AS grist and saw mill, and the same water
poWar running cotton gin. Near the mill
is store, where were congregated crowd
OF men, and it is thought the fire originated
from match being thrown among some
loose cotton, which communicated to the
mill. The loss of the mill alone is about

borhood Besides the burning of the mill,
q quantity of corn and cotton was also de-
stroyed, the amount of which we did not
learn.
