FIRE WORKS AND FIRE LIMITS
Mayor Orders Police Force to See
That no Christmas Explosives
Are Fired in Business Section.

The police department has had In
structions from Mayor Mercer to pro-
hibit all shooting of fireworks within
the fire limits during the coming holt
days. No exceptions will be made by
the department, and none by the may
or in his punishment of such otfenses.
The burcting of bombs and roman
candles in the business section of the
town would be attended with grave
danger to thousands of dollars worth
of property. There are hundreds OF
bales of cotton in the streets that
would be quickly and easily ignited by
the sparks, and a general use of fire
works in this section would certainly
be followed by disastrous blaze.
The history of all cities shows a
greater percentage of fires during the
holiday season than at any other
time, and in the majority of instances
these blazes have their origin from
pyrotechnic displays. Mayor MERGERS
order was given with this knowledge
in mind, and with view to minimizing
the jeopardizing of property.

BROTHER KILLS THos. POWELL
Was Second Fight in Which Sumter
County Young Men Had Engaged.


Was Second Fight in Which Sumter
County Young Men Had Engaged.
Meigs Powell, farmer p year old,
shot and instantly killed his brother,
Thomas Powell Tuesday night at
their home in Sumter county.
The homicide is supposed to have
been the result of formers disagree
ment between the brothers, wherein
Thomas Powell received a pistol
wound in the arm. The first difficulty
was suppressed, and only recently be-
came public.
Tuesday the Powell brothers visited
Americas, and upon returning home
late in the evening the tragedy re-
suited, Thomas Powell receiving a
bullet in his brain.
Thomas Powell leaves a family.
Both men stand very we'll in their
community.
The grand jury has returned true
bill against Meigs Powell, and he is
now in jail Young Powell freely ad-
mits the killing, but claims that he
acted in self-defense, his brother strik-
ing at him with a knife. A closed
knife was found in the dead mans
pocket, while the bullet wound infict-
ed by Meigs Powell was directly in the
back of the head. There were no wit
nesses to the tragedy, the two Powells
being out in the darkness alone when
Tom Powell was shot to death.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

The Beaver journal says that the
following well known and respected
Republicans voted for the resolution
amanevVered through the recent Re-
publican meeting. Viz; j. X. Quinn,
John Nichols, O. G. Groves, X. q.
Dunlop, q. NJ. Seacord, A. c. Midkin
and J. W. McCool
Since you have mentioned names Of
PROMINENT Republicans, and not pclit-
.ical rringsters, we will take the means
-of ascertaining whether single one
of them voted for yoIr resolution. So
far Mr.. Fisher, we have ascertained
sufficient to know that when you said
that J. r. Quinn voted for it, you stat
ed what you were fully aware was a
deliberate falsehood. Several days be-
fore you published that statement,
you met Mr.. Quinn on the streets, and
he told you to your face that he not
only did not support the motion, but
strongly condemned you for maneu-
vering it through. You took him to
your office and undertook to smooth
the matter over and was unsuccessful
That the honest Republicans of this
county may know just how few ring
sters can manipulate convention and
make it appear that 1t was the will Of
the majority speaking, we will state
just how your resolution was passed.
The meeting proper had adjourned
Tor the banquet. There still remained
several Republicans in the room who
were talking in groups at different
places. Although no official call for
the county committee to meet had
been made, yourself, Mr.. Fisher,
Claude Blanchard, John Savage and
W. l.. Beardsfey assembled around
the table. Claude Blanchard quietly
resigned as Secretary and you were de-
clared elected. Your resolution had
previously been typewriter, awaiting
favorable opportunity. You had not
dared to present it to the Republican
meeting, but around this table John
Savage quickly made motion that it
be adopted. Beardsley put the motion
and declared il carried, and you had
accomplished the purpose Of your
scheme.
]. r. Quinn and John Nichols, whom
you say voted for the resolution, were
sitting in the back part Of the room
talking together on social matters.
Another Republican sitting by their
side was watching your maneuvers and
when this motion was put he nudgcd
Mr.. Quinn and asked him il he was
aware what was doing. On being told
Mr.. Quinn jumped to his feet to re-
monstrate against such proceedings
but you had declared the motion car
ried and he was too late
That is the true history Of your ma
neuver, Mr.. Fischer, and the men
whom we declared political ringsters
were those who we mention above
yourself included, and few Others
who were quietly scheming in theil
dens but too cowardly to come out and
declare themselves.
