We had conversation about two
weeks ago with Mr.. Geo. R. Bullock,
manager here for the Bell Telephone
Co., in reference to rebuilding the
telephone line to Ehrhardt and Civ
ing US connection with that town.
He informed us that the company
would not rebuild the line, as they
could not figure sufficient revenue
on the investment. However, the
company will be glad to sell the line
at a nominal price. Here is a chance
for local capital. We do not know
that the investment would pay, but
the present line can be bought very
cheap.

There is State law which requires
that all pupils attending public
school shall have been successfully
vaceinated. We trust that this wise
provision is being enforced at the
Bamberg graded school. Parents
show negligence which is little
short of criminal when they allow
their children to enter school with
out being vaccinated, and the trus-
tees and superintendent should see
to it that the rule is strictly enforced
here.

HOUSTON'S BIG BLAZE.
Costly Conf!agrat;on Occurs In
Business District.

Houston, Dec ga fire original
ing in the upper story of the building
belonging to Frank Dunn, 1910 Con-
gress avenue, leaped from the roof
Of the three-story building occupied on
the ground floor by Sweeney & Fred
erick's jewelry store and upstairs by
offices. 1t was aim ost completely gut
ted. The Dunn building is also a
total loss
From this building the flames swept
into the next building, owned by Mrs.
c. G. Seigling, and occupied by the
S. l.. Sam Dry Goods company.
Next the fire spread across the al
ley into the roof of he Houston thea
ter building, and owing to it's height
no water could be thrown to the burn
ing portion. An imm nse crowd watch
ed the fiery element eating it way
down story by story of this large build
ing
The efforts of the firemen were d.
rected toward saving the building To-
Gated on the southwest corner of the
block.
The fire, which started about II: 80
O'Clock Sunday night, was under con-
troll at o'clock Monday mornig.
Burning embers large as hats were
flying from the roof of the burning
theater building and falling on sur
rounding property, Though the con-
migration was not expected to spread
on this account, as most of the roofs
are protected. The damage worked
by the conflagration is estimated at
about 100000. The theater building,
owned by Harvey T. D. Wilson and
Henry Prince, is valued at $4,000.
Mr.. Wilson stated that it was insured
for about half its value The stock of
dry goods owned by the S. L. Sam
company, which is in bankruptcy, is
valued at about $4,000 and carries
insurance to an amount which could
not be learned. The stock of jewelrv
owned by Fredericks & Sweeney was
saved intact. Many law firms lost
their libraries and The loss by dentists
and physicians amounts to consider
able. Almost every building burned
was occupied above the ground floor
by offices, and the effects of few of
these were saved
At 2:15 the falling walls of the the
alter building crushed the two ada
cent buildings.
Everything was destroyed in the
block bounded by Fannin and Main
streets and by Pres,0n and Congress
avenues except the Leary building and
the Fox building, boch front on Main
street. The destruction Of the theater
building was most spectacular. The
lofty walls swayed after the building
had been Quilted and then tumbled
with a mighty crash, which threw
debris the length Of the block
