DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Inc Residence OF Mr.. j. D. Davenport
Burned at all Early Hour Wednesday
Morning.

The residence of Mr., J. d. Daven-
port, in the northwestern part of the
city was destroyed by fire at an early
hour on Wednesday morning.
The loss, including the residence and
the household goods, is estimated at
about 1000. On the building there was
$1,000 insurance, and on the furniture
$500, making total insurance of only
81,
The fire originated in the kitchen at
the rear end of the house. A new stove
fiue had been put in on Tuesday, and
it is supposed that sparks or Goals from
the defective flue found their way un-
Ger the plastering on the wall, starting
the blaze. 1t was discovered by neigh
Dor at about $3.50 o'clock. Mr.. Daven-
port and family were Immediately
aroused and the alarm turned in. The
hre department responded and did faith
ful work, but owing to the headway
that had been gained before the de-
partment leach the scene and to the
low pressure of water on account of the
elevation at this point, all efforts to
save the building were of no avail.
Only very small pant of the furniture
was saved.
The residence was comparatively new.
having been erected within the past
few years.

GRANTED BAIL.
Chief Justice Pope Takes Favorable
Action On An Application From Ker
shaw.

Chief Justice Pope yesterday after
neon ranted bail in the sum of 81, 600
each to James l.. Love and James H.
Kelly, charged with having murdered
Milton Clark, at DeKalb, in Kershaw
County, on the sixth day of December
last. The Commonwealth was repre-
sented by Messrs. p H. Nelson, of
Columbia, and e. D. Blakeney, of Cam
den, the applicants by Hon. M. l..
Smith and Mr.. M. D. Trantham, Of
Camden.
The sho,ting of young Clark created
great interest at the time. He was in
his fathers store at the time of the
unfol tunate occurrence. 1t is claimed
by the State that while engaging in a
difficulty with Love he was shot in the
back by Kelly. The defense holds
that in general difficulty which oc-
cured, whicl difficulty was stan ted by
the firing of a shot from the pistol of
young Clark himself, that Clark was
shot by his father; that Kelly did not
reach the scene until the difficulty was
over
After affidavits submitted by both
sides yesterday, Chief Justice Pope
granted the bail in the sum above men,
toned. Mr.. Justice Pope held that no
arguments by counsel were necessary,
saying that he was always frank with
he brethren, that he could only he
governed by the testimony submitted,
and that he could not in this case lay
his ha I'd upon his conscience and say
the proof is evident or the presumption
great. Mr.. Nelson asked that the
amount of bail be fixed at $4,000. 1t
had Eeen brought out that the appl-
cants are poor men, and the Chief JUS
tce said that to fix bail in this cese at
$1,000 would be practically to say to
poor people, you can't get bail. The
amount of bail was then fixed.

EXTRA TERM OF COURT
To BE Held on the 9th Of April to Try the
Negro RayiSher Now Lodged
In County Jail.

Solicitor Thomas S. Sease has recon-.
mended to Governor Hayward that he
appoint a special judge to hold an extra
term of the Court of General Sessions
for Newberry County, commencing or
the sixth day of April, and continuing
thereafter for six days if so much time
be necessary. The main reason for
calling this extra term is the desire on
the part of the Solicitor to mete out
swift justice to the negro, George
Strother, now lodged in the Newberry
Jail on the charge of rape.
Under Section 27A4 of the Civil Code,
1902, the Solicitor may recommend the
appointment of special judges for the
holding of extra terms of court when
he believes the public interests demand
it, and it shall be the duty of the Gov
ernor, on the suggestion Of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, to ap-
point said special judge. Chief Justice
Pope has recommended that Hon. G..
Duncan Bellinger be appointed to hold
the extra term of the Newberry Court
recommended by Solicitor Sease.
Solicitor Sease came to Newberry in
person to look into this case On the
letter which is printed herewith ard
signed by citizens of the community in
which the outrage was committed.
After a careful investigation he decided
to call the court.
Newberry, S. c., March 8, 1903.
Thomas S. Sease, Esq, Solicitor 7th
Judicial Circuit, Spartanburg, S. C.
Dear Sir: The undersigned, who are
relatives of Miss Emma Bowers, would
ask you to procure the holding of a
special term of the Court of General
Sessions only for Newberry County, to
be held in the very near future. This
you are authorized to do under Section
2744 of volume onen,of the Code of 1902.
The case that we are desirous of hay
ing tried at the vel y earliest practical
BILE moment is the case against George
Strother on the charge of rape. AS
you are aware, no true bill has yet been
found, for the occurrences out of which
the case arises are of but very recent
date.
Either of the undersigned will be
glad to give you all the facts connected
with it, and to assist you in any way.
We feel that the public interests re-
quire the holding of this special term of
Court -. This is the only way by which
we know that the spirit of lynching can
be avoided in ceses of this solt. Great
forbearance has been exercised in this
matter, and the appeal has been made
to the law, and to the law only. In
other instances of the same character
the appeal has been made to the lynch
law. 1t is likely that the split evinced
in this case cannot be maintained in the
State generally, if in cases of this sort
the law is not speedily called into opera
ton. Yours very truly,
w. P. Counts,
G. w. Bowers,
Sligh's P. o., Newberry Co.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
Growth OF the Order Under Grand Master
j. NJ. Davis Administration -Anni-
verSary to be Held Soon.

Newberry is well represented in the
high offices of the secret orders of the
State. Three Of her sons are at the
head of three of the most prominent
orders in the State Great Sachem
j. H. Hair, of the Improved Order Red
Men; Grand Chancellor Geo. S. Mower,
of the Knights of Pythias; and Grand
Master }. III. Davis, of the Independent
Order Odd Fellows. Under the wise
administration of each of these gentle
men the orders which they represent
have been enjoying a period of unex-
celled prosperity.
But in this connection it is desired
simply to call attention to the work of
Grand Master j. M. Davis, of the
Grand Lodge l. O. o. F. of south Caro-
lima. During his incumbency the orde,
in the State has increased in member
ship over sixty-ive per cent. He has
instituted ten new lodges, and expects
to go to Darlington in very few days
to organize another. In addition to
this he has high hopes Of being able to
organize several more in the near fu-
ture. A good record, and one of which
Grand Master Davis may well be proud
Grand Master Davis, in obedience to
a proclamation issued by Grand Sire
John b. Goc lwin, has recently issued a
proclamation enjoining upon all subor-
dinate lodges Of South Carolina to take
appropriate action for the due commem-
oration of the tWenty-sixth day of April,
1903, it being the Eighty Fourth Ami
versary of the Order, urging that steps
be taken for the proper observance of
the day. The proclamation is as fol-
lows:
ANNIVERSARY PROCLAMATION.
Agreeable to the proclamation of the
Grand Sire, and because it is eminently
proper to celebrate the Anniversary of
our Order-an order that has done and
is still doing much toward leading men
to more fully comprehend the Father
hood of Gcd and the Brotherhc I'd of
mani, j. M. DAYS, Grand Master of
the Grand Lodge l. O. O. F. of South
Carolina, hereby call the attention of
all Subordinate Lie lges to the same,
and urge that steps be taken for the
proper observance of the day; and es-
pecially for the returning of hearty
thanks to Almighty God for the mercies
and blessings vouchsafed to us as indi-
viduals and as an Order.
