| A FIENDIsH AcT-G1N HOUSE AM
MILL BuRNED.-On last Friday morning
about daylight or little after, frs wa
discovered N the lagre three story gin house
of Mr.. Thos. W. Lang on the west side o.
Wateree River. Tho gin house was used
jointly by Nessrs. Theodore aud T. W. Lang
and contained at the time Of the fire about
thirty-seven bales of cotton, fifteen of which
were lint; one thousand bushels of cotton
seed and extensive machinery for ginning
cotton and threshing rice. 1t seoms that
when the house was opened the interior was
on fire to such IN extent that it was impos-
sible to enter, and consequently nothing
was saved, except a faw bushels of cotton
seed next to the mill race. and about bale
of stained cotton. The mill adjoining the
gin house also caught ere and burned almost
to the waters edge.
Of the cotton burned, Mr.. Theo. Lang
loses about fifteen bales, and Mr.. Thos. W.
twenty-five. Mr.. T. ". Lang states that he
was present and saw the gin house locked on
Thursday night, and no fire was used about
the premises. Several Of his hands passed
on their way to the field, only few minutes
before the Ere was discovered, and one of
them wont around the house looking for o
basket in which to place cotton, but he
neither saw nor smclt any fire. The people
on his place owned fourth Of what was in
the gin house, 80 that it is not conceivable
that they had anything to do with setting it
on fire.
The Spontaneous combustion" theory pre-.
walls to some extent, as the cause, and others
attribute it to the peculiar .fondness which
rats have for gnawing the phosphorus, &C.,
on matches, while others again, believe that
it was tho work of an incendiary, in
which belief we coincide.
There is, however, no one ut present to
whom suspicion attaches. 1t is probable
that q heavy robbery was committed and the
house fired to conceal it.
The loss will amount to not less than nine
thousand dollars, and there was no insurance
upon the premises.
This is the fourth case of gin houses be-
ing burnt in this county this season, aud it
behooves Overy one to keep sharp lookout
upon the fruits of their years labors.
We tender our sincere sympathy to our
afflicted friends.

THE Orphans AppEAL-This is the

The ELkcT1oN.--We had long since CIV
en- up the idea that the election day would
bring forth anything worthy ofthe reporters
notice or that of the public Beyond the crowd
usually collected upon such an occasion,
there was absolutely nothing to excite eom'
ment, except the total lack of excitement
which prevailed during the day. We are
not able, without delaying our issue too long,
to give the vote of the County this week,
but we will present it in our next.
The vote in Camden is as follows:
Grant Greeley Total.
Market 269 23O 49S
Courthouse 1923 6 729
Whole number Of votes cast 1927.
Of which Grant received 99l, Greeley
236.
Msjority for Grant 1855.
1t is probable that the County will give
Grant majority of from eight hundred to
thousand.
