FIRE LAST SATURDAY.
House Occupied by Mr.. NJ. w. Brab-
ham DESTROYED About Noon.

The two-story residence on Rail-
road Avenue owned by Mrs. Thos. L..
Virgins, now of Savannah, and oc-
cupied by Mr.. M. W. Brabham and
family, was burned last Saturday
about midday. The fire started it
seems from sparks falling on the
single roof which was dry and some
what decayed, and the ladders obtain
able were not long enough to reach
the blaze with water. So of course
it was seen at once that it was i'm
possible to save the building, and the
efforts of the crowd which quickly
gathered were put forth to save the
furniture and household good.
Most of the furniture was saved,
as was also the personal belongings
of Misses Elizabeth Barnett and
Mamie Connor, two of the graded
school, teachers, who boarded there:
The furniture was of course damaged
and broken some in the hurry Of
moving it out, but Mr.. Brabham had
5000 insurance which will more than
cover his loss.
Mrs. Wiggins had only $500 in
surance on the building, and as it
was worth at least $1,000 she will
sustain a loss. At one time the res
idence of Mr.. A. S. Easterlin, next
door, caught fire, but was put out.
Fortunately there was little breeze,
for had there been anything like q
stiff wind, Mr.. Easterlin' 'shouse could
not have been saved. AS it was, the
weather boarding on the side next to
the burned building was badly scorch-
ed.
Mr.. Brabham is at the home of
Mr.. ]. w. Stokes for the present,
where he will be until his new house
is completed, which will be ready for
occupancy in about a month. Misses
Barnett and Connor are boarding at
Mrs. G. W. Garland's.

Cost of Graded School Building.

Mr.. D. F. Hooton, secretary and
treasurer of the board Of trustees,
has kindly given US the figures show.
ing what the new graded school
building will cost when completed.
Including $500 for furniture, the to-
tai cost will amount to Sl0,836. .49.
This includes the heating, which will
cost 81, ,469.00. The insurance money
on the burned building amounted to
S8,25O.OO, so this leaves a deficit Of
S2,586. 90, which will have to be made
up by taxation. AS the mass meet:
ing of citizens has already provided
for an increase in the school levy for
this year, the trustees viii! borrow
the money to complete the building.

S2,026 being paid Of the assessment
of So, ,136. Orangeburg district has
paid $1,000, and the assessment is
S2,987. The Bamberg Methodist

BARS STARS FROM PHONOGRAPH.
Dippei Won't Let Artists Sing for Record
During Metropolitan Season.

The indications point to an early re-
turn Of opera singers TO this country. owing
to a clause which Andreas DIPPED has had
put In all the contracts with singers who
are to appear the coming season at the
Metropolitan Opera House. He has for
hidden any OF them TO sing during the
time of their engagement for any Of the
photograph or talking machine companies.
They are at liberty to sing as much as they
want TO before or after the opera season.
The most popular singers earn large
sums by singing for these companies, and
some OF them are kept under a large re-
tainer from year to year. AS the sale OF
their records is largely affected by the
degree of fidelity with which they repro
duce the original voice the singers are
very anxious to make them as nearly per-
feet as possible and work at them until
the best results are attained. Some OF
the singers count on SIS 900 or more in
royalties every year from the sale Of their
records, 30 II would not be In the musical
temperament to think Of the state Of their
voices for the performances at the Metro
politan.
Last year certain singers who would
never have consented to sing two days in
succession at the opera house were known
to have spent hours singing for the, ma
chimes on the same days they sang In the
opera house at night.
.The singers OF the Metropolitan said
one Of the directors yesterday. receive
suoh large salaries that they should give
their best services to the house. They
are at liberty to sing all they want to be-
fore the beginning OF their contracts with
us. It was a very sensible thing. however,
for the new conductor TO prohibit them
from fatiguink themselves elsewhere and
ut the Metropolitan. They are not allowed
to sing in concert during the season. and
for the same reason they should not be
allowed to expend their powers in. any
other way
