Summe1tou's Conf1agration.

SUMMERToN. S. c., November p.
In keeping with and as an evidence OF
its remarkable growth, somewhat para
doxical though it may sound, Summer
ton suffered disastrous fire early Satur-
dav morning, the most destructive in its
history. entailing a loss of SIS, 900. par
TALLY covered by insurance to the amount
of $500. The alarm Of fire was given
about 5 o'clock Saturday morning, when
the store of W. L. Brunson, Jr., was
found to be burning on the inside. On
the east OF MIR. Brunson's store and close
bv is the store Of G. W. Brown q Co.,
and on the left a number of stores and
the offices of Magistrate \. J. Rich
bourg and J. J. Cantey, Esq. On ac-
count of the close proximity OF these
buildings to each other, the scant water
supply and all being wooden frame
buildings. efforts to check the fire proved
futile. and the entire block, which is
situated on Railroad Avenue, was de-
stroved with practically the entire con-
tents. Three hundred and fifty bales OF
cotton belonging to the Summerton Mer-
camille Company was in imminent dan
ger. DuC DN uaiu NOlh '" 1S lCuuO' SN ~

The insurance was through the agen-
CIV of Richardson & Smyth and was dis
tributed between the Glenn Falls Fire
Insurance Company, the Equitable Fire
Insurance Company of Charleston, S,
c.. the New Hampshire, and the Ameri-
can Fire Insurance Companies. The
losses were as follows: Store of r. 3.
Mellett valued at $500, insurance $500
stock of c. W. Brown & Co., valued at
$1,000. insurance 81 900: store and stock
of W. L. Brunson, Jr., valued at s., 100,
insurance $500: building and stock OF
NJ. D. Wells, value $4,000, insurance
$1,000; store of Doughty & Stukes, value
$500, insurance $500: T. c. Ragin ct al,
store and residence, value $1,000. lnsur-
ance $1,000: Sam Lawson, store stock,
value $500, insurance 5000; G. G. Way,
stock valued at $500, insurance 81, 700
office of 4. J.. Richbourg: valued at
sl.lO0, insurance $500: Town OF Sum
merton. guard house, loss 500. The
origin OF the fire is unknown.
While quite severe loss on the par
ties individually, the town will be the
gamer, as this street has been taken
into the brick building district, and no
wooden buildings will be allowed where
these formerly stood. Already three OF
these parties have signifed their lnten-
ton of erecting two-story brick build
ings in the burned district.

A Noble Charity.

The following is sent to this office by
Mr.. Hyman n. Krasnoff, who is in
charge of the Jewish relief fund. This
money is sent to the general relief COM
mittee in New York, who will look
after its proper distribution. Persons
desiring to help this worthy object will
hand in their contributions to Mr.. Il. n.
Krasnoff:
1.-The entire nation is aroused at the
horrible atrocities on the unmolesting
Jews at the hands of the brutal Russian
hordes, who butcher, rob and pillage
their unfortunate victims without mer-
cy. The citizens of the United States
are responding nobly to the feeble call
made by the surviving sufferers, and
through these noble channels they are
receiving temporary relief. The citi-
zens of Manning have responded to the
call and have succeeded in collecting a
goodly sum, which has been forwarded
to the central committee at New York,
from whereit will be sent to the foreign
relief committee. So far the following
contributions have been received:

Make Them Move On.

\ tribe of Brazilian Gypsies struck
this town last Friday, and they are now
rowing about the country. They are a
bad lot and should not be tolerated.
While here they accoste6 a respectable
colored man from the Rimini section,
Stephen White, at Coffey & Rlgby's 5
stables. The woman that approached
White uttered some gibberish which he
could not understand. and while mutter-
ing this lingo she ran her hand in
Whites pocket and distracted Slo. He
of course protested and she gave him
back 81. White did not know what to
do: he'was paralyzed with fear: he was
hoodooed. conjured or something. and
were it not for the interference of others
the Gypsies would have gotten off with
the swag. Policeman Higgins was ap-
pealed to, and after considerable search
ing among the women of the tribe he at
last had the right one identified and she
was arrested and into the lookup to re-
turn White the stolen money and pay
the town fine of s..
The news OF the wonlan's arrest
reached the camp and her friends came
protesting her innocence thick and fast.

these protestations. and when they
found the officer hardened against their

maledictions upon the heads of Police

gins that he-would ''die in 4 month"
White did not relish this bad mouth >
and was willing to give de lady" back
the policeman secured from her for him.
These creatures went on to Jordan,
and we hear they went through the
pockets of Dr.. Wilson but got only
twenty cents. and from a colored black
smith $40. The authorities should jug
these people and not permit them to
carry on their depredations. They are
a dirty-looking lot of pretending fortune
tellers and thieves.

We do not live on what we eat but
on what we digest, assimilate, and take
I'D in the blood. The blood in turn
feeds the nerves, the heart, and the
whole system, and all goes well with US
if the blood be kept pure and rich. If
not, then the liver, which is the human
filter within us, gets cloggeed up and
poisons accumulate in the body from
over-eating, over-drinking, or hurriedly
doing both. The smash up occurs
when the blood is poisoned by the
stomach and liver being unable to take
care of the overload! The red flag OF
danger is thrown out in the shape of
eruptions on the skin, or in nervous
ness and sleeplessness, the sufferer be-

and are starred.

obey them, but disease follows dis
obedience. Go straight to Nature for
