EATEN UP BY FLAMES
Garden City Landmark Destroyed q.
Fire This Morning.

From Tuesdays Da1IY.
One of the landmarks at Garden City
burned this morning at five o'clock. Phe
Norton hotel was swept away by flames.
Most of the furniture was saved. There
was no insurance on the building. f.
T. Norton, the late proprietor, died re-
Gently. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
The fire was discovered about four
o'clock by James H. Wiley, who was
boarder at the hotel. Smoke was
pouring into his room at a rapid rate.
He aroused the guests and all got out
safely. Much of the furniture was
saved also.
The fire was discovered between
the clapboards and the plaster in the
dining room and those who were at
the scene found it rather difficult to
fight the flames. The origin of the
fire is a mystery.
The hotel was being managed by
Mrs. Norton, whose husband died
about two weeks ago. The building
was erected about fifty years. ago by
+. p. Evans. 1t was, a popular
stopping place.
The damage done will run up to
about $1,000.

Nervous Dyspepsia

1t took Mrs. James H. Titus. Of 107

realize that there was only one way to
cure nervous dyspepsia. That all the
digestive mixtures and Bitters in the
world would not do it, and that the only
true way was to first put the nervous
system that controls the organs of di-
gestion in perfect working order so that
the food might be properly handled and
digested. She says: DIR. A. w. Chase's

Does Prohibition Prohibit?

The business of the Augusta post
Office for February increased 25 per
cent. over February last year and the
postmaster expects an increase in sal
ary. The prohibition in South Caro-
lima helps the postmaster. The Chron-
icle Of Saturday says:
It is stated that the money order
business for the last ten days has
been greater than that of the Christ
mas trade, when the item was the
largest in the history Of the local Of
fee. Every day now a hundred or
more orders, varying in size from
few dollars to a much larger amount,
are received here by the Augusta Ii
quor men, who are working overtime
to allay the thirst Of the Carolinians.
Both the liquor men and the post
Office officials welcome the increase
in business.

Forgery in Chester.

Quite a sensation was caused this
morning when it was learned that Mr..
L. L. Reading had been committed to
Jail for forging the name of Mr.. L.
D. Childs to checks, which had been
cashed at the bank. The arrest was
made last night, but it was not gener-
ally known until this morning.
The name had been affixed with a
rubber stamp bearing a facsimile of
Mr.. Childs' signature.
Mr.. Childs saw something yester-
day evening which aroused his sus-
picion, and after Mr.. Reading left the
Office, he made an examination Of the
cancelled checks and soon found a
number of them amounting to $500
or $500, which did not bear his true
signature. He then called Chief Tay-
lor and had Mr.. Reading arrested.
No examination has been made OF
the books to see whether there are
other irregularities. He had charge
of the books of the Buffalo Lick
Springs Co., in the Office Of Mr..
Childs, manager of the business. Mr..
Chilas, however, always signed the
checks himself.
Mr.. Reading is from Valparaiso,
Ind, and has been here two or three
years. He was we'll liked, and had
the confidence of our citizens gener-
ally.-Chester Lantern.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

*The first warm days Of spring
bring with them desire to get out
and enjoy the exhilirating air and
sunshine. Children that have been
housed up all winter are brought out
and you wonder where they all came
from. The heavy winter cloth
ing is thrown aside and many shed
their fannels. Then cold wave
comes and people say that grip is
epidemic. Colds at this season are
even more dangerous than in mid
winter, as there is much more dan
ger Of pneumonia. Take Chamber
