Fire Yesterday Morning.

About six o'clock Wednesday morn
inr the cry of fire was raised, and it was
soon found that the house next to the
cotton mill belonging to Col. Jno. F.
Folk and occupied by Mr.. Geo. W. Gar
land, was on fire, the flames having
start ed in the stove room from a defec-
tive tlue. Mrs. Garland had risen early
and built a fire in the cooking stove, and
from this the roof around the stove tiue
caught. The flames spread rapidly, and
it took hard work to save the house.
The cotton mill was just starting up, and
the employees quickly stretched hose
from the mill waterworks and their hard
work is what saved the building. Had
il not been for having waterworks al the
mill the house would have burned down.
MIR. and Mrs. Garland desire to express
their grateful thanks to the mill opera
tives and many others who worked so
faithfully. The house is known as the
old Harizog place, and is a two-story
structure, the kitchen and stove room
being one-story. Three rooms in the
body of the house were badly damaged,
wbii. the stove room is almost total
wreck. Mr.. Garland lost all the grocer
les and furniture in the stove room,
while all of the furniture in the house
was badly damaged by moving; There ERE
WAS insurance on the furniture for $4Oo
in companies represented by ". T. Riley:
This will cover the loss. MIR. Garland
expected to move to his farm in the
country the first of February, but the fire
FASTENED his departure, and he moved
yesterday. r,
Col. Folk had insurance on the build
ing amounting to $1,lOO, and it will take
ubout this amount to fully repair the
honse, as the building is badly damaged.

For Good Cause.

A committee of ladies from the Metho-
dist church have taken up the matter OF
building house of worship for the fac
tory operatives, and we are glad to know
that they are meeting with success IN
soliciting subscriptions for this purpose.
This project is not new idea, and one
that has been mooted before. A lot has
been donated, and it is believed sutfi-
cient sum can be raised to build neat
and tasty church up on factory hill.
Every citizen who loves his fellow-man
and has the best interests of these people
and the town at heart will, we are sure,
contribute literally to this enterprise.
We understand that the overseers of the
different departments have taken the
matter of organizing Sunday-school
in hand, and the building formerly used
as the knitting mill will be used for the
sessions of the school. We bid all con-
cerned God-speed in the work, and stand
ready to serve them in every way pos
Slble.

County Pension Board,

There was Il good crowd in town last
Munrlav, this being the day OF the meet
ing of the county pension board. The
meeting WAS held in the court house, and
there were many applications. In fact
there were so many that the board could
not finish its work on Monday, and was
in session on Tuesday as well. 1t was Il
sad sight to see the many old veterans
we saw ut the court house Monday.
Many were lily clad, others moved with
tottcrinr feet, and others bore the marks
of wounds received while battling for
their country. 1t made us feel that the
State of South Carolina was dealing
nirrarllv with the men who fought and
suffered for the cause we all hold dear,
when it doles out such miserable
pittancc to them. but can support eX-
pensivc colleges, finish a magnificent
state house. and maybe build a new
executive mansion! Heretofore it has
been said that the state was too poor to
pay larger pension to these old heroes.
This surely cannot be argued longer with
in the face of such eNpendl-
lures as noted above.

News from GOYan.

GoyAN, Jan. 21.-Schools and churches
are a God-send to any community. Our
school is progressing nicely under the
management of Prof. Jesse F. Carter.
The trustees are to be congratulated on
securing the services of this worthy
young gentleman, his work being per
fectly satisfactory to all concerned,
though somewhat overpowered, the ell
rollment numbering sixty. | trust that
the next meeting OF the trustees and pat
rons will see the need of an assistant
teacher and that by making an additional
lew of one mill in short while it would
enable us to get into larger quarters,
equip ourselves with all modern i'm
proyements in the way OF buildings,
furniture and last but not least cam
pus for the little ones to take exercise.
Now, Mr.. Editor, some will say no, our
taxes are too high now, but let me ask
who pays the taxes? Certainly not the
DOOR man, yet these are the ones to howl
and kick. Think of the paltry little sum
of one mill additional or ten cents on
each hundred dollars hurting or making
US paupers Perfectly absurd. We have
a splendid common school but we want q
better one, and with the cooperation of
all concerned we can have school
second to none in the county. So much
for the school.
Now as to churches: We have none in
town. Georges Creek Baptist church
and Salem Methodist 4 distance of two
and four miles respectively. Trust that
| may soon be able to chronicle lie you that
a church is in progress at this place.

First National Bank.

The matter of a national bank for Bam-

say that the institution will be in active
operation inside of the next six months.
Mr.. H. J. Brabham is behind the scheme,
and he is always successful in whatever
business enterprise he undertakes. 1t is
propoposed to have a capital or n1ty
thousand dollars, and this amount can be
easily raised right here in town. There
is a good demand for money here, and
the institution will certainly pay hand
some dividends. Those who want stock
had better take it at once, as the demand
for shares will no doubt be great.
