The store Of Mr.. J. r. Latimer, at
was burned to the ground
last Saturday night at IL o'clock. There
had been no fire in the building during
The day preceding, and the general opin'
lon Is that it was the work of an incen-
diary. There was some insurance, but
not sufficient to cover the loss by at least
one third. The boarding house Of Mrs.
D. r. Horton was saved from similar
fate by the untiring efforts of the citizens.
It stood within forty yards OF the burned
building. and was literally scorched by
the excessive heat.

ed in the Presbyterian cemetery at Pen
dleton in the family plat, beside her hus-
band, who was buried there few months
ago. a beautiful and appropriate monu-
ment, erected by their children, marks
their last resting place. The remains of
their daughter, Mrs. W. W. Russell, who
died thirteen years ago, were also remov-
ed from the Stone Church and re-interred
beside her parents"
We extend sympathy to the Jurors who
will be on duty at the coming term Of
Court, Their duties are severe and i'm
portant and the accommodations for their
comfort are not good. Ifit is cold enough
for fire, they may prepare to be baked.
II they need fresh air, they had better
carry in a supply with them. If the Jury
rooms don't make them reach verdict
whether they are agreed or not, they, are
heroic citizens. We think defendant
should have the right to refuse to come to
trial before Jury that was not comforta..
bly, accommodated both at their seats and
in their room.
It IL rumored that the train which, until
recently, ran between Anderson and
Greenville. will be put on again next Sun

to Mr.. Terrell, Superintendent of the Rail-
way Mnil Service, in reference to the great
of our present mail facilities
from the East and North, and asked him
to use his efforts with the railroad officials
in getting the train put back on. He
promised to do 80. The agents of the rail-
road company here have not yet recsiv.
ed any information about restoring the
train, but some Of the railroad men say
it will be done.
