Marrow Escape From a Big Fire.

About 2 o'clock on last Tuesday
night, while Policeman Baxley was
on duty, he smelled something like
burning cotton, and he at once be-
gan to hunt for it. On going to the
rear of the store Of Smith Bros. he
found bale of cotton on the plat
form burning briskly. 1t was quick
ly removed from the platform and
the fire extinguished. There were
twenty other bales Of cotton on the
platform, but the misty rain in the
early part of the night had made
them too wet to burn, thus preventing
what would probably have been a
very disastrous fire, because if the
fire had got good headway we be-
lieve it would have destroyed at least
half dozen houses before it could
have been stopped. The appearance
ance of the burning bale looked like
the act of an incendiary.

The Latest Mississippi Story.

In Yazoo County, Miss, on the

deer that had human skull impaled
on prong of his horn. supposed to
be that of a negro. The prong had
entered the cavity occupied in life by
the eye, and had grown up around
the bone, showing the skull had not
been put on recently. There are va.
rious conjectures as to how it got
there, but the most prevalent opinion
is that the animal was wounded and
brought to bhy by the negro, and
had killed the latter in the conflict
which ensueh the prong entering the
eye and piercing the brain. he
body of the deer showed signs of
other wounds. He was about as
large as a two year-old calf.-Mem.

The Railroad Meeting.


Agreeable to the call made last
week, quite a number of our citizens,
both of the county and town, assem-
bled at Town Hall on last Tuesday
to hear what Col. Blanding had to
say about railroads. The meeting
was called to order by Intendant
Rollings. Upon motion, Mr.. W. d.
Trantham was called to the chair
with Mr.. F. P. Beard acting as secre-
tary. The chairman stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting and introduced
Col. Blanding.
The Colonel had a good deal to
say about the advantage Of narrow
gauge railroad from Georgeton, via
Sumter, Camden, Union and Spar

with roads across the mountains to

also compared it with other routes
and then told us that we could get
the road if we would subscribe $500
per mile towards the milage in this
county. At the close Of his address
it was moved and carried that com
mittess be appointed from among
the citizens living along the proposed
route to talk up the road and explain
it to the people before an election i:

Out of single cent
Will never reach that heavenly land
Where old Elijah went.
He will not gain admittance there
BY devils he'll be driven,
And made to loaf his time away
Outside the walls of heaven.

Without pleasant grin,
The happiness that he will reap
Will be almighty thin.

Of sorrow and regret;
He'll have to buck around right smart

The Big Fire in Savannah.

| A very disastrous fire broke out in
Savannah on last Thursday, destroy.
ing about fifteen blocks of buildings
with nearly all their contents. Seven
lives were lost, and 1000 bales of
cotton were burned up. The losses
amount to about $1,000,000.
In all, one hundred and eighty
dwellings have been destroyed, be-.
sides Garnett, Stubbs & Co.'s ware
house, the Brush Electric Light
works, the barrel factory and Tynan's
foundry. This has been the greatest
confagration in Savannah since 1924.
Forty white families and nearly
one hundred colored families are
rendered homeless. Warehouses have
been thrown open for the shelter of
the former, and all the colored
churches in the city for the latter.
The burnt district comprises some
fifteen blocks. The entire section
between West Broad Street and the
canal has been entirely destroyed,
except the Planters Rice Mill and
Lachlison's foundry on the south
side of River Street.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Men were working in the warehouse
at the time, and were first aware Of it
by seeing the flames shoot up from a
lot of cotton fifty yards or more from
where they were. Buckets of water
were brought into requisition,. but
were of no avail-the fire evidently
having been burning some time.

Our Fire DEPARTMENT.


For years past our town has been
sadly behind many other towns in her
apparatus for extinguishing fires, and
it is only by the mercy of a divine
Providence that the whole business
portion of the town has not been
lost in ashes long ago. Our present
Board of Councilmen, realizing this
danger, have, through Mr.. j. R.
Goodale, Chief of the Fire Depart
ment, negotiated for the purchase of
a steam fre.engine and all necessary
attachments for a fully equipped de-
partment. They are having fire
wells dig that them All
ample supply of water, and in a short
time we think we will be compare
lively safe from any material damage
from the devouring element. The
old hand engines are also being
placed in good working order, and if
the members of the companies will
only attend to their duty, we will
have a fire department that we can
well be proud Of.
