LIMERICK.

Limerick, July 23.-Our village, at
10 30 O'Clock today, narrowly escaped
what would have been a most disastrous
confagration, The Weddell mansion
caught fire on the roof from a spark from
the chimney, under the coping of o
dormer window, and when discovered by
Charles Dudley was in brisk blaze The
bell of the Free Baptist church adjacent
was Immediately rung, and the people
rallied, one Of whom came with a fire
extinguisher with which Dudley reached
the roof very quickly and daringly and
soon subdued the flames. Dry as the
roof was, high and extensive as the build
ings, and scarce as the water, probably a
minute or two later and ali would have
been doomed, with the church and three
adjacent sets of buildings. Mr.. Frank
Weddell burned his arm quite severely,
but further than that few dollars will
make all right again, and Limerick is
thankful.

NAL gathering at Confederate Hall and a

engagements for the entertainment of their
guests. 1t is customary fer the various
Confederate organizations in the city to
alternate in the giving of these informal
entertainments and that to be given by
the Sons is in the nature of an exchange
and return of courtesies received by them
in the past from their sisters and their
sires. 1t is especially desired that as
many member of the camp as can possibly

Gen. McGlashan's comrades of the Con-
federate Veterans Association, is to be
made by Hon. Robert Falligant, who has
succeeded Gen. McGlashan as its presi-
dent. 1t was determined to give the med
al to the retiring president at the De-
cember meeting of the association, since
which time the design has been prepared
and the medal itself manufactured. The
design was prepared under the direction
of Messrs. Theus Bros, through whom
the order was given. The medal will reach

TOOK THE Birdie OFF.
And the Doctors Horse Made n wild
Dash Up Whitaker.


Considerable excitement was created
yesterday afternoon at $50 O'Clock by a
runaway at the corner of st. Julian and
Whitaker streets. The horse belonged to
DIR. R. B. Harris and was in charge of
the colored driver, who had driven up to
the rear of Neidlinger, Rabun and Mells
to have some work done on the bride.
The driver took the animals bride off
send the opportunity was thus given for a
dash. The horse did not hesitate to take
advantage of it, and he was soon spin
ming around the corner with the driver
hanging on to a rope that was around the
animals neck. That did not give suffi-
cient control over the horse, and the
driver was compelled to release his hold
The horse then tore up Whitaker street
at breakneck speed, but the way is too
narrow to admit of a team going through
standing on either side. The delivery
wagon of McGrath and Ransford was
struck by the buggy, the. doctors horse
tearing away from his traces and leaving
the vehicle rather badly demolished. The
delivery wagon was not hurt.
The horse appeared to have run his
course and there was dazed look about
him when he reached Broughton street.
There man ran out and seized the rope
that still trailed from his neck. The ex-
element of the affair was then over, and
the driver proceeded to do the best he
could in getting the buggy patched up
and the harness repaired.

THE MAYOR OF sPARrANBuRG.
He Tells of His City's Wonderful
Progress in Manufacturing.

Mayor Calvert of 5partanburg, S. c.,
was an interested spectator at the Citi-
zens' industrial meeting at the exchange
yesterday afternoon. Mayor Calvert is
the chief magistrate of one Of the Invest
manufacturing centers in the South. and
had Mayor Myers known of his presence
earlier he would have called upon MIN to
give the meeting the benefit of his knowl
edge on the subject. Mayor Calvert is
not a manufacturer himself, however
'As you know. South Carolina stands
next to Massachusetts in the number OF
cotton spindles" said Mayor Calvert when
seen after the meeting, and Spartanburs
is one Of the manufacturing aenters of
South Carolina. We have twenty-fOur cot
ton mills, consuming $4,000 bales Of cot
ton annually. and giving employment to
several thousand operatives. There are
other mills in Spartanburg county, away
from the county seat. the county altogeth-
CT having about 4l5.000 spindies. spartan
burg has a population Of 1900, having
more than doubled in the last ten years
Clifton a purely manufacturing town IN
the same county, has population OF
5000"
Cotton manufacturing has been con-
Quoted in Spartanburg for twenty years,
said Mayor Calvert, 'but the real devel-
cpment has been since 1890. The factories
formerly depended on water power, but
IL was found that certain amount OF
steam was required for certain processes
of manufacturing, and also that steam
power was needed to supplement the wa
ter power in times of freshets and
droughts. Many of the large mills now
use steam power entirely. Tennessee and
Kentucky coal is laid down at the fac
tories for 1886 ton. our people have
found manufacturing very remunerative.
There are mills which declared all the
way from 40 to 60 per cent. dividends last
year and one mill declared a dividend of
96 per cent. One of the mills is now build
ing an addition at cost of 100000 en-
tirely out of it's surplus the stockholders
not having to provide cent additional
capital"
"All you need to do" said Mayor Cal
vert to several gentlemen who were
speaking with him on the subject of cot
ton manufacturing, rs to secure one
large mill and make it a success. That
will end your work in that direction. 9th
er mills will come of themselves"
As the result of their success in cotton
manufacturing the citizens of Spartan
burg invest their money readily in these
enterprises. Mr.. Calvert gave an instance
of a young man who had made a study of
the subject of cotton manufacturing and
thought he saw a good opportunity to es-
tabIish a mill at point near Spartan
burg. He easily secured SIS 900 in sub
scrlptionS from the people in the commun-
ity in which he proposed to locate the
mill. and then solicited additional capital
from the people of Spartanburs. He was
told that il he would locate his mill in
the town or on the outskirts that the peo-
pie would subscribe readily, but that they
would not subscribe to a mill at some
other point. He adopted this advice and
secured $4,000 for new mill at Spartan

REGISTRATION KEEPS UP.
Total for Yesterday One Less Than
That of the Day Before.

The registration for the county elections
of the present year continues undated,
not a day for the past week having failed
to witness the enrolment of more than
100 prospective voters.
Yesterday the registration reached 142,
between the hours of a. m. and D. m,
when the books are open. This was but
one less than the registration for the pre-
ceding day, when the high-water mark in
the history of the tax collectors office was
reached.
The total number of voters now regis
tered is ,l02. These have all qualified and
registered since Jan. 5, when the books
were first opened. Never before has so
large a number been registered in so short
a time.
The reason is not far to seek, nor diff
cult to find. The larger part Of those now
registering are the regulars of one or
the other local political faction, who quail
ify regularly every year. No time, there
fore, is consumed in the examination of
their records and the work rapidly pro-
crosses.

TO WIND UP REUNION AFFAIRS.
Executive Committee VIII Meet on
Morning of Gen. Lees Birthday.

bNecutiNe committee VIII Meet on
Morning of Gen. Lees Birthday.
A meeting of the Executive Committee
of the Confederate reunion of last No
vember win be held at the office of the
County Commissioners, a the Court
House. at 1870 O'Clock Friday morning.
The meeting is called for the purpose of
winding up the affairs of the committee
and determining what shall be done with
the funds remaining on hand. These
funds amount to something in excess of
$500.
1t has been suggested that a part at
least of this fund be devoted to furnish
ing and decorating Confederate Hall in
the Whitfield building, now used as the
headquarters and place of meeting of all
the Confederate organizations in the city.
1t Is very likely that some part of the
fund viii be used for this purpose.
The meeting will be saddened because of
the absence of its lamented chairman, the
late Col. John Screven, to whose interest
in the work and untiring industry much of
the success the reunion attained was due.
Some resolutions upon the death of Col
Screven viii probably be adopted by the
committee.
The lasi thing, almost, discussed by Col
Screven, before he took to his bed. was a
project for the erection of a monument
TO Gen. Lafayette McLaws, the fund re-
naming from the reunion TO be applied
in part in payment of the necessary eX-
pense. This project, also, will be brought
before the committee and something in re-
gard to it will certainly be done The
committee may take steps for the organi-
cation of a McLaws monument associa-
ton.

ANOTHER MAN IN HIS JOB.

Policeman PeIz Found Too Many
Drawbacks in the Business.
j. G. Harper was sworn in yesterday as
a member of the city police force to sue
coed Policeman A. Pelz, resigned.
Policeman Pelz had been a member of
the force only short time, and found the
job unsatisfactory. He was hampered In
the discharge of his duties by his slight
knowledge of English and the fact that
he had little acquaintance with the town.
He is also said to have been consdera bly,
over the legal age when admitted to the
police force. These drawbacks led 10 his
resignation, whether by request or of his
own volition could not be ascertained.
