Potomac marble, with white ionic cap

FIRE SWEEPS BEAUFORT.

Beaufort, January 19.-Today at
1.30 o'clock fire broke out in the barn
and stables of F. w. Scheper, on Bay
street. and with a stiff southwest
breeze blowing, it resulted in one OF
the most disastrous calamities that
has ever visited the town. From the
beginning the fire department was
powerless. The grocery store Of Mr..
schepner land the Peoples Bank ad-
Joining, were totally consumed with
their contents, with the exception Of
the banks papers and property, and
the large freproof safe.
Adjoining was a row of stores on
the same side of the street, and up to
the corner all were consuemed. The
fire then leaped across the street and
the large and we'll stocked hardware
and paint store Of Messrs. n. Chris
tensen & Sons shared a like fate, and
half the block behind it was totally
burned. The fire crossed the next
street and consumed the law Office OF
Mr.. Thomas Talbird and the row of
small houses that he owned, extend
ing to the market, which was burned
entirely.
Then il crossed the next street and
the town hall, in which was the cou--
ell chamber, was a total loss. Then
IN adjoining house Fbetween it and
the Methodist church was burned.
During the prevalence of the raging
and furious flames, the sparks were
blown in a northeasterly direction
and several smaller houses, including
the residence of Mr.. w. F. Sanders,
about an eighth of mile Off caught,
and from it the large and ancient
mansion of the Talbirds, owned by
Mr.. Thos. Talbird, was totally con-
sumed.
On the opposite corner Of the street
amendments, and then lay the whole
thing on the table.
Mr.. J. N. Wallace, was burned, and
next door to it the residence Of Mr..
w. J. Thomas and h. two rented
houses in the rear were consumed.
Mr.. James NJ. Crofut's store, next to
Messrs. Christensens' store, became a
mass of ruins and the next store,
that Of Mrs. ]. Levin, was nearly con-
sumed.

Judge Purdy's Retirement.

The lawyers Of South Carolina
DOUBTLESS best know Judge R. O..
Purdy, but regret that he should have
deemed it duty, for personal reasons,
to retire from the circuie bench will
not be confined to the legal fraternity.
The News and Courier has previously
expressed the opinion that great care
should be exercised in the endeavor
to elevate to the judiciary only those
whose character and attainments are
most likely to fit them for the respon-
sibi1ities and duties of the opsition,
and that changes should be as infre-
quent as possible. That Judge Pur-
dy is eminently qualified for the bench
has been tested and proved during the
four years he mas served1as. Judge of
the Sd circuit. A Virginian by birth,
he has nevertheless spent the best
years of his life in this State. For
a score of years he has taken an act
i've interest in all that pertained to
it's welfare and has shown that ne is
as earnestly desirous that it shall
prosper and that its people shall be
advanced, mentally and morally, as
we'll as materially, as is any native
son Of South Carolina. AS, a judge he
has by his outspoken courageousness,
his hard common sense and his
knowledge Of the law won the respect
of lawyers ard laymen, while at the
same time making for himself hosts
of friends by his courtesy, his unfall-
ing patience and consideration, and
his marked disposition to cooperate
with the members Of the bar IN clear
ing congested dockcts and in promot-
ing the ends Of justice, not Sinking
work himself nor permitting others to
do so. He will be missed from the
circuit bench, but it is pleasant to be-
lieve that his influence will still be
felt in public affairs in South Caroll-
ma; still in the prime Of life, strong
and vigorous, with a keen interest in
men and things, it is impossible that
it shall be otherwise.-News and Cou-
rier

he made known his intention a short
time ago. The surprise was all the
greater since a judges resignation IS
without precedent in the recent his
tory of the State. It has been accept
cd as a fact that few die and none re-
SIGN. consequently everybody are at
2 loss to account for Judge Purdys
acton. Judge Purdy's retirement
from the bench is distinct loss TO
the judiciary Of the State. He mas
discharged the duties of the once
with industry. zeal, courage and aoll-
ity. He retires with the confidence
and respect Of the bench, bar ana
nnblic at large and in private life, to
which he returs, he will retain that
same degree of esteem in which ne
has always been held.
The negro soldiers Who shot up
Brownsville, Texas, killed one man
and were therefore guilty OF muroeE.

not participating in the attack on tne
town shielded the murderers ana
knowingly assisted them to escape
apprehension. They are consequently
accessories after the fact and unoer
the law as guilty as those who com
naitted the murder. They are all
criminals and all should. be punished.
The only fault we have t. find with
the punishment imposed by Presl-
dent Roosevelt was that 1T was IN
adequate. The criminals were per
uaitted to escape a just punishment
and it strikes US that all the hullaba-
loo over the order Of President Roose
welt is to distract attention from the
real facts until the guilty negroes
have been scattered and beyond

On Thursday afternoon while driv-

the city, Mr.. C. L. Cuttino, accompa-
MED by Mr.. J. j. Kolb, encountered a
peculiar accident. 1t appears that
while driving at a pretty lively gam
along smooth road the bolt holding
the coupling of the buggy became dis
lodged, allowing the fore wheels +"
move on with the horse while the
front og the vehicle fell, precipltatlng
its occupants violently to the ground.
Mr.. Cuttino escaped without injury,
