FIRES IN LAURENs.
Three Efforts at Incendiarism in as
Many Days-Other Matters.

Dublin, Ga, Nov. 16.-During the
past three days there has been in Lau-
rens coAnty two incendiary fires, and
one attempt. Wednesday night last
on the Davis place, on the east side of
the river, an attempt was made to
burn the gin house of Mr.. H. H.
Smith. The attempt was witnessed by
several parties. who are confident that
certain we'll known negro was the
guilty party. Thursday night last the
gin house of Mr.. F. l.. Hobbs, who
lives near Buck Horn in the western
part of the county, was burned, with
about four bales of cotton. Early this
morning the barn of Mr.. j. B. Tyre.
located about four miles west of Dub
lin was burned. Mr.. Tyre lost over
600 bushels of corn, a quantity of fod-
der, hay, peas, etc. His loss will foot
up fully 81, 900. Tracks were found
around the barn and blood hounds were
put on them, but the perpetrator evil
IDENTIFY left the scene of the fire in q
buggy or wagon, as the dogs were
unable to follow the trail further than
the public road a short distance from
the barn None of the parties car
ried any insurance, and the loss falls
quite heavy upon them.
Work has been commenced by
George H. Crafts & Co., of Atlanta,
upon the extension to the Oconee river
bridge. The extension will be of steel,
and will be 1,100 feet in length. If
the steel arrives on time it is the in
tention of Mr.. H. C. Quinn, who has
the work in charge to complete the
structure by Jan. l. The extension
will cost 10000. 1t has long been need
i - s1rI, he 1ixr ht.id crn
could not be reached from the east
side of the river.
After being in session for the week
the July adjourned term of Laurens
Superior Court came to a close this
morning. The adjourned term was
called principally for the purpose of
hearing civil business, though several
very important criminal cases were
disposed of.
For the murder of Jim Bob" Mad
dox, a young white man at a negro
frolic two weeks ago, Richard Conway,
a negro. was found guilty. The jury
recommended him to the mercy of the
court, and Judge Roberts sentenced
him to the penitentiary for life. The
negro's attorneys will carry the case
to the Supreme Court.
One of the most sensational cases
ever filed in Laurens' Superior Court,
was that or MI. j. u. Smltn, a ledulnS
capitalist of Dublin, against his broth
er, Mr.. H. H. Smith, president of the
Laurens' Banking Company. The two
gentlemen were formerly partners in
business, and the former claimed that
the latter was due him considerable
money, which he had failed and refused
to pay. The original suit was for
something over $4,000, but last night
when the matter came up for a hear
ing before Judge Roberts, the suit was
amended, and the figures in the suit
asked for against H. H. Smith was
made $1S6ss. 81 instead of the former
sum.
1t is claimed in the bill that the
firm did a business of $4,000, and that
the profits were about 5000. and that
H. H. Smith appropriated all of it to
himself.
The case was not heard, but went
over to the January term Of the court.

Public Suicide of a Chinese widow.
From the Foo Chow Echo.

Last. Sunday in one Of the suburbs,
after two postponementS, one on ac-
count of the typhoon and the other ow-
ing to the floods. the public suicide by
hanging of a Chinese widow was wit
messed by several hundreds of specta-
tors. The poor woman resolved on COM
mating the deed Immediately after the
death of her husband. She sold the
paddytield she possessed for $160 and
purchased some splendid clothes and a
coffin with the money
1t was in vain. so the story goes, that
the Taotai tried to frighten her by the
assertion that such visitations as the
late typhoon. and floods had been
brought upon us through such wicked
ness as hers; besides, did she not know
that to take her own life was against
the law of the land? How is it, then, :"
she asked, that the temple specially
set apart for the worship of widows
intending to commit suicide should be
allowed by the government to remain
All argument was unavailing. Suffice
it to say the suicide came off, as al
ready stated, on Sunday last, without
let or hindrance on the part of the au-
thorites or anybody else, in the pres
ence of an admiring crowd, the woman
having bedecked herself in the finest of
fine clothes for the occasion.

A VACANT CONSULATE.
No One Appears to Want to Serve
the United States in Zanzibar.

thC Gnlttu AAnLhDAEs
From the Chicago Daily News.
Records in the State Department
show that the American flag belonging
to the United States consular Office IN
Zanzibar is waving over a rice ware
house. The consulate is vacant. The only
evidence that Americans stranded in
that country have that the government
still lives is the solitary flag floating
in the tropical wind. There is no i'm
mediate prospect Of the place being
filled, although it pays $1,000 year
and is located 5000 miles from home
on the east coast OF Africa. A round
trip ticket from New York to Zanzibar
can be bought for half a years salary.
