DALZELL.

Dalzell, S. c., March 5.-After so
many wet, disagreeable days it does
us good to see the sunshine again.

Only quick work of the agent and
others saved it. Just exactly how the
fire started we don't know.
It looked at Dalzell while Satur-
day that most everybody had gone to
Sumter, OR somewhere else, and we
think some Of them got just little
too much fre-water for their good,
from what we have heard.

The following comes to us from
Montreal, \. c., through Mr.. H. L..
Timmons, Of the firm of Timmons &
Johnson, architects, Sumter, S. c.,
who has several buildings under his
supervision at Montreal, n. C. Mr.
Tin1mlons, who is one Of the building
committee for the association, has
opened a branch Office at this place
where he finds it necessary to spend a
good deal Of his time.
Montreal is situated on the pla-
teau stretching between the Blue
Ridge and the great Smoky Noun
tains, which is the highest station on
the main line of the Southern Rail-
way, 15 miles northeast Of Ashe-

The Mountain Retreat Association,
which consists of 500 equal stock
holders, has purchased that portion
Of Montreal owned by Mr.. Huyler
and which embraces a beautiful range
of mountains and valleys, one and
one-half miles wide and three miles
long.
This association expects to make Of
Montreal one Of the most desirable
summer resorts of the south. There
is at present one large hotel and sew
eral boarding houses at Montreal
Last season many were turned away
for want of accommodation. The as
sociation now has under construction
a modern hotel that will accommodate
500 guests, also an auditorium with
seating capacity of 1000. Water
works, sewerage, electric lights and
street cars will be installed in a
short while. Already there is to be
found for the amusement of the
young people the bowling alley, skat-
ing rink, tennis court, lakes and fish
ing pools This sumemr will begin the
series Of auditorium amusements.
With the lofty mountains on all
sides, affording such scenery as one
seldom sees elsewhere, and the de-
lightful climate here in the peaceful
valley, so cool and pleasant all sum-
mer long, nothing more can be desir-
ed for a summers vacation

BROGDON.

Erogdon, March 4.-Today is an
other ideal specimen Of early spring
weather, with no clouds to mar it's
beauty. The atmosphere is mild and
delightful. A breeze sometimes pre-
walls, but is not disagreeable, and is
in keeping with the month. Indeed,
it is Just the kind Of day to cause one
to- seek the open air, either riding or
walking.
Gardens have been planted and
those who set their cabbage in Janu-
ary have particularly pretty plants
just now, there being very little cold
since Christmas. Farmers are push

Mr.. Anderson moved his mill from
the Broadway siding last week and
this week, from what I have learned,

commissioners of election should
have appointed the men they did to
manage with me. We did not, as
you no doubt have seen, poll but two
votes. It possibly might have been
on account Of the two Republican
managers knows? But they
are both, I believe, honest, straight,
law-abiding men.
We were indeed sorry to hear Of

betting and carried it off into the
woods and wrapped it around tree;
went to Mr.. Lucius Ingram's, took his
buggy and carried it off into a branch.
They also carried off Mr.. Merry
Christmas buggy. And I understand
that they broke some part of the ma
chinery at Mr. Poplin's mill, causing
him to pay out $3.50 to get it repair
ed.
There was pleasant little party at
Mr. L. n. Barwick's on last Friday

MRS EDDY ANSWERS CHARGES.

her Legal Adviser Says Present Mat
ter is Continuation of Recent "Per-
securions as to Her
Wealth.
Concord, n. H, March 3.-Gen.
Frank S. Streeter, the legal adviser of
Mrs. Mary Baker G.. Eddy, issued a
statement this evening in the nature
of reply to various allegations in
the bill of equity which has been
brought tgainst trustees and directors
of the Christian Science Church, by
relatives Of Mrs. Eddy, with the view
Of obtaining accounting Of funds. The
statement follows:
early Sunday morning sent to
Mrs. Eddy a copy Of the bill in equity
as published, but not yet served upon
any Of the defendants, so far as am
informed. have since had long
personal conference with her, at
which this proceeding and matters
connected Herewith were fully dis
cussed.
"In common with her many friends,
she believes that the initiative in
these proceedings was not taken by
her son or other relatives, but by
others who in a markedly unusual
manner and by unique methods are
undertaking under the guise Of court
proceedings to continue the persecu-
ton begun some time ago.
From my conferences with her at
the time, and on other recent occas-
ions, am able to speak definitely and
positively. Her clearness Of mind and
reso1uteness Of purpose has been in
no respect impaired by her advanced
years. Her capacity to think clearly,
and to deal accurately and justly with
important business affairs has never
been more perfectly demonstrated
than in her conferences and acts in
the last two weeks, and in numerous
business letters in her own handwrit-
ing, which I have received from her
during that time.
1.-The amount of Mrs Eddy's prop
erty has been grossly multiplied by
rumor and unfounded report. She is
not possessed of large wealth as the
term is used. Her sole income for
many years has been from the copy
right Of her own books, and the
amount from this source has been
grossly overestimated.
Mrs Eddy's business affairs have
been managed by herself, with the
aid Of Mr.. Frye, her devoted and 10y
2l servant, and under the oversight
and personal audit Of another gentle
man whose name has not been men
toned, but who stands for all that is
honorable and of good repute in
