Tragic End Of a Noble Life.

The city Sumter was visited oy a nre
last Friday morning. 1t broke out IN
the Beck block, opposite the telephone
factory, and resulted in the death OF
Assistant Chief Will S. Graham, son
the late Col. James D. Graham, and
the serious rounding of MI. Robert NJ
Warren, whose foot was 50 badly crush
ed that the leg had to be amputated.
Mr.. 7. P. Lyman had an ankle sew
erely sprained, and several others were
more or less injured. The Beck Broth
ers. II. L. Tisdale, and a. Mannheim
were the losers of properly. Total loss
was about s36, 800, with Sl5,525 insur-
ance.
The death of Assistant Chief Graham
cast a gloom over the city of Sumter,
and with the shocking news came a
feeling OF sadness here, where this
noble young man had many friends,
and whose father, the late Col. James
D. Graham, was beloved by the old
soldiers.
Sunday afternoon, another fire broke
out in Sumter, this time it was in the
depot of the Atlantic Coast Line while
the fire department was il attendance
upon the funeral of their late Assistant
Chief. This fire resulted in severely

the frernen, and the partial destruction
of the depot. The citizens OF Sumter
propose erecting monument to the
memory of the noble Graham. whose
life was sacrificed in the protection of

We mentioned last week that it was
being mooted to have dispensary at
Pinewood, and this brought about the
inquiry, can the dispensary board es-
tablish dispensary 10 any part OF the
county? No. The board can only locate
dispensary in an incorporated town
not havlng a prohibition clause in its
charter. Pipewood is incorporated,
and has no prohibition clause in its
charter. Summerton is the only town
in the county that has a charter pro
hibiting the sale of liquor. The
TINES IS not urging a dispensary at
Pinewood, but the matter has beer
mentioned by some of the citizens OF
that town, they taking the position
that the stuff is being used and sold in
that section, and the revenue therefrom
goes to other counties, whereas if they
must put up and bear with the nuisance
the revenue had better 60 into Claren-
don's treasury and thereby tighten our
taxes
