MONEY TO BURN!

IN order to pass successfully through
lsuch an experience as the Fire In
surance companies had in Baltimore
on last Sunday and Monday 1t was es-
sential that they should have Money
to Burn!" 1t is supposed that some Of
the small companies will be put out or
business because they did not have the
stuff with which to make good their
contracts, but am gratified to be able
to say that not single one Of the nine
Fire Insurance companies represented
by me will flicker, much less go out.
The London, Liverpool and Globe
Insurance company Of Liverpool Is one
Of the biggest and most liberal fire in
surance companies in the world, and
has had the confidence Of the people OF
this section for forty years or more,
having first been represented here by
the late T. S. Jefferys. The following
letters from Henry w. Eaton, resident
manager for the United States are self
explanatory.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8, 1904.
Sam M. GriSt, Agent,
Yorkville, S. c.
Dear Sir:
Baltimore conflasration.
Whilst the loss Of this Company Is
still undetermined, and will be for some
little time, We know sufficient, from
the reports Of the area affected, to be
able to fix a safe limit at s1.000,000.
The condition Of the United States
Branch on the 31st of December last
was: Assets, s12,086,91S.50; Liabili-
ties, s6.896.376.15; Surplus. $780,
542.35.
The payment of every estimated loss
in full would, as you will see. leave
the Company a handsome balance Of
surplus, and assuming that our Head
Office will follow like plan to that
so happily determined upon in the cases
of the great fires Of Chicago and Bos-
ton, of restoring reserve exhausted by
confiagration by remittances from Eng
land, the surplus will be quickly re-
stored. Yours very truly,
HENRY w. EATON.

The Weevil in Texas Oats.

The State says railroad men OF the
freight departments are asking what
districts in Texas are affected by the
boil weevil, in order that they may
know as to the shipment OF oats from
that State. South Carolina takes a
large quantity Of oats from Texas and
freight men say that the law may cut
down their revenues some. Although
the States between South Carolina
and Texas have laws furbiddicg the
shipment of oats aud other crops from
that district it seems that none OF
these have been looked into. The
counties affected in Texas, according
to the report filed with the railroad
commission, are bounded by a line
through Texas running north and
south through Starr county, thence
in a northeasterly direction to Gray
son county, thence in a southern
direction to the centre OF Cablne
parish, La, and thence south to the
county Of Jefferson, Texas. The rail-
road commission will interpret the
law in it's strictest sense, and the rail-
roads will not haul any oats or other
products from that district unless
they decide to carry the case into
court and have the law tested.

Assaulted and Drowned.

Miss Pauline Edwards was drowned
in a creek near her home near Dan
vile, Va, on Wednesday. The body,
partly submerged, was discovered be-
fore the young woman was missed from
her home. The discovery Of the body
was made By a farm hand. There was
every evidence of foul play. The
young woman's clothing was torn and
disheveled and the sod or the bank of
the stream was looSened as if 10 a
struggle. 1t is believed that the girl,
who was not more than 16 years Of
age, was assaulted, and that her head
was afterwards held in the stream un-
til she drowned. The water in the
creek is not more than a few inches
deep, which eliminates the possibility
Of her having fallen in and drowned.
Clasped in the cold fingers Of the dead
girl was found piece Of cloth which
might have been a part OF a mans
coat. The position Of the girl as she
lay in the water, the condition Of her
clothing and the signs of the struggle
on the bank, all indicate that she had
made a desperate fight for her life and
her honor. There were marks on her
neck, which might have been the i'm
nressions of human fingers.

a dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
says Rev. ]. B. Holly, a prominent
Baptist clergyman of that State and
one of the editors Of Tne Southern
Baptist and Baptist Witness, was
fined $3.50 in criminal court Wednes-
day. He YVES charged with assault
ing the Rev. W. a. Hobson, pastor OF
the First Baptist church Of that city
and also an editor on The Southern
Baptist. Mr. Holly struck Mr.. Hob
soa in the face several times and
bruised him severely. The trouble
arose from a dispute as to the manage
ment of The Southern Baptist and
Baptist Witness. The paper 10 Ques-
tion is the creation Of John B. Stetson
and MI. Holly is his personal repre-
sentative in the business. At a meet
ing Of the board Of deacons OF the
First Baptist church held Wednesday
fellowship was withdrawn from Rev.

TWENTY-o -oNE DROWNED.
A Russian Submarine Boat Had Seri.
ous Disaster at Neva.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
the submarine boat Delfn sank at hel
noorings in the Neva, Of the Baltic
shipbuildiDg yard, at II O'Clock Wed.
nesday morning with the loss Of az
officer, Lieut.. Cherkascff, and 20 men.
The accident was due partly to the
excessive number OF the crew, mostly
inexperienced men; and chiefly to the
unfortunate attempt Of man to es-
cape while his comrades were screWing
down the manhole.
The officers and men detailed fol
submarine instruction had assembled
at the Baltic yard and three Of the
officers decided to go down in the Del
fin although her captain was not pres
ent, relying On the experience Of her
skilled crew. A score Of novices were
anxious to 60 with the three officers.
The Delfn's nominal capacity is ten
men, instead OF which 80 entered the
boat, bringing her manhole in dan-
gerous proximity to the river level.

heavy wash against the boat.
SIS soon as the water splashed into
the submarine boats interior, it Gre
ated panic among the novices and
one Of them tried to get out OF the
manhole which the other hands were
screwing down preparatory to the de-
scent, the submerging compartment
having already been opened. The
water rushed in and as the submerged
vessel sank like a stone, the officers
and some Of the men were saved, be-
ing blown through the manhole by
the rush OF escaping air.
The Del6n shortly afterward was
raised. Lieut.. Elaguin, who was one
OF the officers saved, said to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press:
"The tragedy was like q dream. I
remember a sickening sense Of suffo-
cation from the fumes Of the storage
batteries and then rush Of air and
water. The next thing I knew I was
ashore" The Delfn is Russia's best
submarine boat. She was designed by
Naval Architect Boubnof and Capt.
Bekelmishef and underwent success
ful trial in 1898.
