'Tis indeed can i'll wind that blows
nobody good" For tho past ten days
the railroad water tank has been under
going repairs and for this reason the
vestibule and other trains were forced to
get water at Central and Westminster.
The public is aware that the vestibule
trains make regular stoppages at only a
few important places along the line from
Atlanta to Charlotte. Passenger trains
are now getting water here again, though
Seneca is numbered among the regular
stopping places.
We fail to understand why certain
cities attach unto themselves any especial
Importance because of their proximity
to earthquake regions, or whore any
honor can accrue from living in an at
mosphere redolent with sulphur. We
never had any hankering after sulphur
GUS regions, and to quote from another,
neither are we dying to go there" and
why the Greenville and Atlanta papers
delight to recount experiences in tones
calculated to make the old sad, the mid
die aged pensive and frighten the young,
is more than we can understand. Copy
righted except to county papers.)

Fire at Seneca.
Seneca, June 11.-Last night about 9. 80
o'clock the barn on the premises of Mr..
W. .. Hamilton was discovered to be on
fire. The alarm was given and the citi-
zens responded promptly, and with the
aid of the fire engine, the residence and
other buildings were saved. All the
stock was gotten from the stables, but
the feed stuffs and other articles in tho
barn were total loss. The work of the
citizen-flremen was excellent, and but
for their enthusiastic and heroic efforts
the nearby buildings would have been
destroyed also. NJ. VS..
