HEAVY FROST FELL
OYER THE COUNTY
Much Damage is. Reported to
Fruit and Vegetables.
The Temperature In the City Went
to 3i-Dinerence of Opinion
~ to Damage.
WAS A FROST SATURDAY. ALSO.

There was a heavy frost last night
"a killing" frost, according to the
gardnerers.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion ms 10 whether or not there
was frost Saturday night, but the
preponderance OF opinion among
those who come TO market Is that
there was frost then. too.
others claim that the wind pre-
vented frost Saturday night.
There was considerable damage
done in this section by last nights
frost. according to most of the gard
ners and farmers In town this morn
ing.
Fortunately II was not as bad as
Il might have been, as they were all
on their guard because OF the cool
weather OF the past several days, and
had everything possible to cover,
we'll protected.
Most of the damage was done to
beans. tomatoes and strawberries.
II is claimed by many, however,
that the peaches and plums are both
killed. and possibly other things.
The farmer is naturally pesslmis-
tic, however. and the damage may
not be so bad as he imagines. Some
of the gardeners today said that while
the frost was a heavy "black" frost
most of the truck had been covered
and therefore escaped.
Weather Observer Bornemann re-
corded "a degrees as the lowest
temperature here last night. SS de-
grees sometimes makes frost.
II is the opinion OF Observer Borne
mann that some damage was no
doubt done by the frost, especially
I'm exposed places, where it was heav-
lest
He does not think It possible at
present, however, to determine what
was damaged and what was not. The
general opinion seems to be, however,
that the damage is not as great as
some of the estimates.
Mr.. N. b. Tapscott, of the Bland
Vile section, telephoned to the sun
this morning that there was a slight
freeze, as well as heavy frost, in his
section, and that great damage seems
/ to have been done to the fruit trees
and strawberries. Mr.. Tapscott is
one of the largest berry raisers In
the county.

ANOTHER FLOP
CITY SOLICITOR HAS CHANGED
HIS MIND SINCE SATURDAY.
Bids For Third Street to BE Adver-
tised For by the City at Once
Now.

City Solicitor Ed. Puryear has
again changed his mind about the
Third street improvement, according
to reports. Saturday after deciding
that the city did not have to pay for
certain parts of street reconstruc-
ton around car tracks. he decided
that inasmuch as the street car COM
pany had filed suit tohave the law
construed. work had better stop.
The city engineer was ordered to
cease changing his plans for Third
street. which had been ordered
drawn without making provision for
the things wanted by the street car
company and was stopped. 1t was
announced that the Third street i'm
provement would wait indefinitely.
Today it was learned that the Solic-
itor had changed his mind again, and
recommended that the Third street
work be pushed instead of abandon
ed.
AS a result there was something
doing in the city engineers Office.
The plans were hauled out again and
were being completed when a report
or called, and City Engineer Wash
ington stated that the specifications
would be ready for the printer in a
day or two, and that bids would be
asked for, and opened on April 26th,
the date originally intended.
AS the street car company is to sc
cure a restraining order against the
'ity, however, this change of opin-
ion by the solicitor and hurry in the
engineers Office will not amount to
pnything, as the work will be stopped
NJ matter how many times the solicit-
o. changes his mind.

UNSIGHTLY POSTS.
BOARD Of Works Thinking of begin-
ming War Against Them at Once.

The board of public works has or
dered sign posts, water and gas sur
face boxes, and hitohing posts remov-
ed from sidewalks, and is now think
ing OF having every awning post Ia
ken from the payements, especially
in the business part of the city.
"There are hundreds and hun
dreds of these awning posts In the
city" said member today, and
we think they ought to be taken
down. OF course we DOM want to in
terfore with anyone's business any
more than We can help, but We have
simply sized ID up this way' That
the good To the general public OF
taking down all awning and sign
posts would be greater than the
good to some private citizen OF let
ting them remain, so We shall prob
ably order them all down"

BEER DISPENSARIES.
State Board to Grant Hearing to All
interested in Their Le-
gality.

Columbia, April I3.-The state
board of dispensary directors has de-
cided to grant a hearing to all parties
interested in the test case as to the
legality of beer dispensaries. Some
months ago it was published that the
legality of the boards action in grant
ing beer permits would be tested in the
courts. Since then, however, it has
been decided TO bring the matter up
before the board first. The whole
question hinges on what constitutes
"premises." 1t is held by some that
a dispensary, simply having an ad-
joining room for drinking purposes,
is violation the lax. This is taken
on the ground that the adjoining
room is on the premises.
The hearing will take place on April
"a.

A House-Warning.

When the fire occurred on the
premises of the Thornwe!i Orphan
age, on the 4th of November last,
there were hard times for while
for two hundred orphan children.
They had neither pantry nor store
house, and had "Old Mother Hab5ard
gone to the cupboard she would
have found that the cupboard was not
bare; it was gone! All the pickles
and preserves and dried fruit and 9TH
er supplies fixed up in the summer
for winter use, were gone up IN
smoke. And in addition, all the flour
and meal and rice and bacon and sug-
ar and molasses and vinegar and tea
and coffee had been food for the de-
vouring flames. There was not even
kitchen left, much less storehouse;
but the people, (God bless the peo-
pie, their hearts are always rlght),
we'll, the people came to the rescue
and now we have completed and are
ready to open handsome new build
ing, 100 feet one way by 65 the other.
It is covered with tin and it took fif-
ty squares to cover il. The floors of
kitchen and dairy are of the best &C.
ment; the walls are of brick laid IN
cement. It has been furnished with
ranges and stoves. The Majestic.
Range company of St. Louis gave US
a splendid range and two portable
bakers. But it woefully lacks some
thing! There is not dust Of meal
nor grain of rice nor cruise of oil
nor a pound of sugar,-there is moth
ing in the storehouse. Why not even
a mouse thas gone there to hunt his
dinner; nor a fly is looking out tor
the pickings! And yet on that store
house $50 children with their teacher
are dependent for their daily bread.
It is time for a house-warm1ng!
Let us have it. What have you at
hand that you can send. Do not wait
for a committee to call on you or
preacher to get after you. The third
week of April is our reception week.
Everybody will be at home: Ii you
get your gifts sent in that week it
will not be too late Somebody asks
"What are the children going to do
till then for something to eat?' IT
YOU are the one who asks, we will
Just say that there are fifty two re-
ception weeks at the Thornwell Or
phanage, but the third week of April
is reception week in particular. 1t is
to commemorate the fire and to make
US feel glad that once more we have
a kitchen and a dairy and all the
trimmings that go along with them.
Do not forget. Send something every
body! Fill up that storehouse for
once. 1t is right good sized room
and there is no danger of over-crowd-
ing.
God bless you, dear friend, and
may He put it into your hearts to
make glad the fatherless.
