DR.. G. R. Johnston Sus-
tains Damage.

Marion, Aug. 2.-(Specia1 )-Marion was
visited by fire last night which threat
ened for time to destroy almost the
entire business portion of the town.
The fire broke out IN the store of ]. C.
Lovelace & Co., at II o'clock, and soon
the entire building was in flames. The
Selma fire department was telephoned
fer, but the flames had been gotten under
control before it reached here, and the
department returned without being I'M
loaded.
The King Hotel, the largest building in
the town, caught several times, but was
saved by the bucket brigade. When the
fire first broke out sufficient hose could
not be obtained and almost every mer-
chant within two blocks moved his stock,
causing considerable damage to the goods.
The entire contents of Lovelace's store
were destroyed, together with the build
ing. Lovelace's loss on stock and build
ing is about $500 The safe has not
been reached and the loss of books and
papers has not been ascertained. He car
ried So, 500 insurance on the stock; on the
building he carried $500.
The stock of ]. D. Smith & Co., dry
goods and the building occupied by them
were damaged.
Dr. c. r. Johnston, who occupied an
once over Lovelace, sustained loss in
books furniture and medical instruments
of about 81, 200. He was insured for $500.
The origin of the fire is unknown. 1t
was discovered by night Waterman

DELAYED HOnOrs OF awe wars.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The oft-repeated statement that repub-
lies are ungrateful has some contirma-
ton in the fact that the United States is
just handing out some medals of honor
for services, not only in the war with
Spain. but in the civil war.
1t may be a matter Of satisfaction to
those living who have received at least
the tardy honOrs for services performed
nearly forty years ago, but we doubt II
the dead who have just been similarly
honored take as much interest in the
matter as they would could the medals
have come Immediately after the events
which they are supposed to reward. A
medal Is supposed to be a testimonial of
bravery and an incentive. to extraordin-
ary effort, not only on the part of the
recipient, but Of others who may strive
for this mark of appreciation. 1t is not
