and no talking or whispering allowed.
That is more easily accomplished from
the fact that not more than six or seven
boys are disciplined at any one time,
and they are forced to keep at least
three feet apart.
The character of the offense limits
the period of the punishment. In most
cases where the marching extends over
several hours in one day the lads fall
asleep Immediately arterward. There
is some exhaustion, but the boys seem
to be more impressed with the nature
of the discipline than under the old
method of spanking.

Let the people of Bamberg make the
year 1901 memorable one in the history
of the town and county. Let all differ
ences and chickering's be laid aside and all
work for the advancement of the town
and county along all the lines of activity
which tend to the betterment of our
people morally and financially. Bamberg
needs more enterprises, and our people
should all work together to secure them.
One of the first things that should engage
the attention of our citizens is new
building for the graded school. The
present structure is really disgrace to
the town and is entirely inadequate to
the needs of the school.

Big Fire in Marion.

MARION, Dec. GA fire occurred on
Main street in the business part of the
town not long after the middle Of last
night, and destroyed four stores with
all their contents except in the case of
Mr.. w. S. Foxworth, who saved his books
and papers.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but is attributed to the careless discharge
of fireworks by late Christmas revelers.
1t was discovered between and 3 O'Clock
in the building owned by Joseph Harrell.
All of the structures were of wood and
very combustible, and the flames made
rapid and for time irresistible head
way Our town is not provided with an
engine or any organization for combat
ting fire; but thanks to the usual good
fortune that seems to befriend the town
in such an emergency, the wind was mod
crate and blew from favorable quarter.
The buildings that lay in the path of the
conflagration were comparatively isolat-
ed, and there was enough space between
Foxworth's and J. E. Middleton's stores
to enable the citizens, by dint of strenu-
Gus and untiring exertions, to save the
Middleton building and check the prog
ress of the devouring element.
The losses, so far as l have been able
to ascertain them, are as follows:
Joseph Harrell, building valued at 800,
insured for $500.
Western Union Telegraph Cos. office,
in the Harrell building, loss about $50.

outfit in Harrell building, value $400, in

of the Harrell building, stock $1,000; in
