Costly Couflaraeation.

About 2 o'clock Wednesday morning
the new asylum barn, just outside the
city limits, was destroyed by fire. The
building cost about $500. 1t was filed

CHURCH PROPERTY BURNED.
The Marion Street Methodist Church
of Columbia Destroyed.

The Marion Street Methodist church,
Sunday school and library, two-story
parsonage and cottage adjoining, were
all destroyed by fire Tuesday evening
between and s o'clock. The destruc-
tion Of the most of the property was
due almost entirely to the inability Of
the fire department to secure water.
Why there was none to be had from
one hydrant, no one was heard to ex-
plain. The only stream obtainable was
confined to the saving of the residence
next to the Sunday school room, on
Lumber street. Had-a stiff wind been
blowing, the loss of property in the Vi
clnity would have been very much
greater.
The arlarm came in few minutes
after Z o'clock. BY that time the large
wooden church was roaring mass Of
flames. 1t burned like tinder. and so
did the adjoining property, all being
constructed ofwood. Practically moth
ing could be saved from the church or
Sunday school room, but most of the
contents of the parsonage were removed
in time. The fire was an exceedingly
fierce one.
The Rev. Mr.. Kirton, the pastor, who
greatly deplores the loss of the property,
was seen after the fire was nearly over.
He said he supposed the fire was due to
lamp left burning in his study, in the
rear Of the church building. He had
been in his study, and at supper time
he went to the parsonage, leaving the
lamp lighted. After eating his supper
he came back to find smoke pouring
from the windows of the room. An
alarm was promptly given, but the
flames had gained such headway that
nothing could stop them. The fire de-
partment was quickly on the ground,
but as stated above, only one engine
was available for service, owing to the
lack of water.
The church organ, pews. pulpit fur
niture, Sunday school library and other
property were burned.
The chuch building was worth per-
haps $4,000; the parsonage about s.
600, and the Sunday school chapel $500
Or $1,000. The church, one Of the
stewards said, he thought was insured
for s., 900 and the parsonage for 81, 800,
but he was not sure. neither could he
recall the agency holding the policies.
The one-story cottage adjoining the
parsonage was occupied by two families.
All their effects were saved. The
building was probably worth about ST.
900. 1t was owned by Mrs. 1. NJ.
Burns of.North Carolina. 1t could not
be ascertained whether there was any
insurance. State.

amount Of half million dollars, At
the pier the four masted British ship
Andorenha was lying, dischargiug a
cargo composed principally Of jute
butts and saltpetre. She soon caught
fire and will probably be total loss.

Gin Accident.

Mr.. Hugh Scott, Of Wisacky, Sumter
county. had his left arm cut in the gin
at Mr.. W. W. DesChamps ginnery on
Saturday afternoon, and it had to be
amputated near the shoulder The
injury was very serious, and he lost a
great deal Of blood before he could be
extricated from the gin, and it is fear
ed that he may not recover, although at
last accounts he was doing as well as
could be expected. He was attending
to the gin, and in attempting to remove
the notes from beneath the gin his
sleeve was caught by the saws and his
arm frightfully mangled. The front OF
the gin had to be removed before his
arm could be extricated, as it was
wound completely around the saws.

UranO lOCal. 1, LUZ, AOA
This mighty movement began almost
within the memory Of men yet living.
Four preachers. Alexander Campbell,
Thomas Campbell, Walter Scott and
Barton W. Stone, led in making a
plea for the union Of all Christians to
the end that the world might be evan
gelized.
They rejected all human creeds and
claimed that as the Holy Scriptures of
the Old and New Testaments we're the
only inspired writing. that they were
an all sufficient as rule Of faith and
life.
THE CHRISTIANS BELIEF.
They claimed that baptism was the
immersion in water Of a penitent be-
liver into the name Of the Father and
Of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, that
the death of Christ should be COM
memoSated on the first day of every
week in the Lords supper; that the
followers of Christ ought not to bear
any name other than those found in
the New Testament, such as Christian,
disciple, etc.

soft coal, wood or gas is used for cooking

of perfect road built at every agricul-
tural station under the Government will
be so many schools of the road. There
is no test of the pudding equal to the
eating thereof There is no better way
to prove to a people the great economy
and beneficence of a good road than by
giving them a specimen to examine
This is the view entertained by the
Agricultural Department, for its Bu-
reau of Road Inquiry is just now ex-
ceedfngly active in pushing the sub
ject to practical showing. 1t has Sc
cured from manufacturers the free use
of road machinery for most, if not all,
of the agricultural stations for the pur-
pose indicated. Government engineers
are ready and will have orders to do the
necessary engineering work.
So far as the matter progressed, that
already some such object lessons are
ready to be viewed. Stone roads during
the past season have been constructed
at the Agricultural College of New
Jersey, also on the college farm of that
Institution; at the Agricultural Expert
ment station at Geneva, n. Y; at the
Agricultural College of Rhode Island,
and on a small scale at Warren, Pa,
and Ithica and Ilion, N. Y, and in the
latter cases entirely at local cost.
These experiments have been entirely
satisfactory, but they have exhausted
the available means the departments
haye been able to use for the work. In
this connection it is noteworthy that
the Rhode Island College has inaugu-
rated a course of instruction in road
building, beginning with lectures by the
Government Engineer in charge of the
road question and bureau work
1t would seem that every college in
the land could with profit establish
similar courses. They are short, not
difficult and are of the highest value.
That the country is going to be in need
very early of far more skilled road en-
gineers than can be supplied is certain
Good road construction is about to
spread so rapidly that there will not
be enough trained men to supervise it.
For the people are going to demand
and have the best. They will not here
after be content with Tom, Dick and
Harry engaging in expenditure of pub
lie funds for road construction. All
over the land they are awake to their
right to have skilled and trained men
to do this work. They are at last real
izing that horse sheer is the right man
to shoe a horse, and a jeweler the most
reliable person to employ to set stone
in a pin.

THE BODY BEAUTIFUL.
How to Obtain a Good Figure and
Graceful Carriage.

\ thoroughly practical article on
Physical Culture for Girls" oy Kath-
arine Eggleston Junkermann, in the
January "Womans Home Companion"
contains these simple directions for
home gymnastics:
systematic exercise can accomplish so
much that it is a marvel to one who has
enjoyed its benefits that it IS not more
generally practised. It is entirely un-
necessary to be mistress of a system of
physical culture. There are few ex-
ercises which, taken regularly and thor
oughly, will accomplish all that sys-
tenn would. The tendency is, however, 10
be unsystematic in taking these e1er-
cises, and thus lose their good effect. 1t
is best to take them at night. IN bed
room slippers and loose gown, With no
bands to bind, no collar to rub a girl IS
ready for the exercise that will make her
rest as tranquil and sweet as a Dabys.
Every muscle Of the body is free TO
stretch, to stiffen with effort, or 20 rest
itself in complete relaxation.
Clubs, dumb-bels and other gym
nastic paraphernalia are unnecessary,
and really are more harmful than oene
fetal. Grasping the bells enlarges the
knuckles; the friction CT the clubs har-
dens the hands, and as it is quite as easy
to do without them, they are better un-
used. After all preparations for Dad are
made, even to arranging the rather fiat
and somewhat hard pillow, stand before
your glass and begin your exercise.
There is a real delight in watching
the strong, easy movements of health
full woman. And this ease and strength
is within the reach of nearly all omen.
The fiat chests, shapeless waists and
badly formed hips may be at least par
TALLY remedied, and it requires only a
little effort and persistence to accom-
plish it. Too many women lack persist
ence. Instead of conscientiously taking
their exercise every day they skip a day
when they are feeling tired or lazy; then
two or three days at a time; and event.
ually they learn to forget 1t, or decide
that the game is not worth the candle.
ITO develop breadth of chest. place the
hands on the waist-line little back of
the hips. the fingers pointing forward.
From this position move the elbows
slowly back toward each other, making
them come as nearly together as posi-
ble Do this several times, counting four
as the elbows approach each other, and
two to recover position. BY counting to
these movements harmony is attained
which will develop the muscles evenly.
