FLORENCE GIN HOUSE BURNED.
VI. S. HaynswOrth Loses $500
Worth of Property by Fire.

Florence, October 1.-THE gin
house Of Mr.. NJ. S. Haynsworth, locat-
ed on his farm about three miles
northwest of this city. together with
the entire contents, were destroyed by
fire at o'clock Saturday. night.
There was stored at the gin house, in
addition to large amount Of farming
tools and implements, forty-three bales
of unginned cotton, and there was not
dollar in insurance on the ginnery
or the contents. The value of the
gin plant was about twenty-five hun
dred dollars and the cotton about
twenty-five hundred, making a loss
Of about forty-two hundred dollars.
Mr.. Haynsworth is satisfied that the
fire was caused from matches and
rats, and gave no thought of incen-.
diarism, either by enemies or night
riders. The gin had not been in op-
Grafton over a week, hence Mr.. Hayns-
worth could account in no other way
than the matches and rats theory. 4

There has been some talk about a
treaty offensive and defensive be-
tween the United States and China
treaty similar to that which was
signed after the Russo Japanese war
between England and Japan. Such u
treaty between the United States and
the Chinese Empire is, of course, i'm
POSSIBLE. but meanwhile a treaty be-
tween them has actually been signed
by Secretary Root and WI Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister to this country.
1t is an arbitration treaty and it's
principal article as as follows: DIFF
ferences which may arise of a legal
nature or relating to the interpreta-
ton of treaties existing between the
two contracting parties, and which il
may not have been possible to settle
~ diplomacy, shall be referred to the
permanent court Of arbitration es-
tablished in The Hague by the con-
vention of July 20, 1899, provided,
nevertheless, that they do not affect
the vital interest, the independence,
or the honor Of the third parties"
