burg building now owned by the Bank
OF Sumter. Messrs. Horace HARDY
Geo. d. Levy and w. Loring Lee who
had offices in the building succeeded
In saving small part Of their books
and office fixtures. but all three of
them lost more than they saved.
The following offices on the back of
the square. above mentioned were
burned: Copleston Dying and Clean
Ing Co.. building owned by H. J. Har-
by; ONCE of County Dispensary Board.
owned by H. T. Edens; two Offices
owned by Est Of J. A. Renno, ONCE
building owned by Mark Rynolds; of.
ice Of w. n. Graham; two of,ces
owned by Mrs. c. r. McFadden.
Graham's stable extending from the
corner OF the square to Hampton
Avenue was also burned. but by hard
work. aided by the shifting OF the
wind the aremen kept the names from
crossing Hampton Avenue. Just back
OF Graham's ONCE was situated the
two story paint and carriage shop of
Won Oshen & shirer, which was burn.
Cd.
This completes the tale OF destruct-
ION. but there were other minor losses.
The rear ends Of the store buildings
occupied by Everybody's Store. Du-
Rants Confectionery the Carolina
Hardware Company. the Boston Cam
dy Kitchen. Sumter Book Store. the
Lyric Theatre. Levi Bros. schwartz
Bros. were damaged to some extent,
and the occupants suffered some dam
age by fire and water. The old court
house building was slightly damaged
and the Elks Club, which occupies
the second floor lost considerably in
moving the furniture and fixtures. The
Carolina Hardware Company lost
about Ave hundred dollars by the
burning of goods stoi I'D in the sheds
In the rear OF the store. Mr.. J. p.
Booth lost FL bales OF cotton which
were stored in u shed on the premises
OF the Booth-Harby Co. The cotton
was uninsured.
The building occupied by the Osteen
Publishing Co., owned by DR.. c. p.
Osteen was damaged by the intense
heat and all the glasses in the front
windows were broken. The office of
DR.. N. G.. Osteen was also damaged
by heat and water. At one time dur
ing the progress Of the fire this build
ing seemed doomed and the Masonic
Temple. next door. was smoking
as II ready to burst into flames.
The firemen won the fight Of the
night by running a line of hose
through the stores on court house
square and by preventing the fire
from entering those buildings saved
the town from the most costly con-
fiagration that It has ever known. IT.
was there that the work Of the fire
department was most effective and
did most good.
The Booth-Harby Live Stock Com
pany are the heaviest losers. for while
they had q stock on hand valued at
sss.ooo they carried only $1,000. and
this was so apportioned among their
several departments that they cannot
collect all the insurance. as in some
departments there was no loss. For
instance there was $4,000 on horses
and mules and there was no loss; and
on feed and forage only $1,000, while
their loss was several times that
amount. c. w. Smith q Co. also lost
several hundred dollars on feed with
only 800 insurance.

Expense Of Farming.

FARMING in the Mimbres VAL
ley need not be very expensive.
That may depend on the judy
ment Of the farmer and his scale.
Where a man has but little means
it might be well for him to use
that little judiciously, working his
way up, instead of borrowing
money. Especially is this COM
mendable in the inexperienced
man.
A good windmill and reservoir
will furnish enough water for as
much as two acres of ground, at
least. The well, windmill and
reservoir need not cost more than
$3.50. On this two acres Of land
certain crops can be grown that
will net the owner more perhaps
than ten or twenty acres in the
east, as there is a better demand
and better prices for farm prod
ucts here. A home and a good
living, at least, awaits the man
of industry and good judgment,
even though he may not be worth
his thousands.

Jesse K. Grant of San Diego,
is cunning after the Democratic
Presidential nomination. AS a
beginning, he would like to be
honored with the vote of the
Arizona delegates. In a letter
addressed to friend he states.
Il should like very much to have
the Arizona delegation to Den
yer propose my name as nominee
for the Presidency. | have writ
ten to several old friends in Ar
iona on the same subject, and
write to you TO know if it would
be agreeable to aid. If Mr.. Bryan
does not get the nomination in
the first few ballots, my chance
to secure the nomination will be
about as good as that Of anyone. -"
Mr.. Grant for years preferred to
be known as a resident Of Arizo-
ma, having his headquarters at
Nogales, from which point he
operated mines in Sonora. He
has many warm friends in the
territory, and it is not at all I'M
likely that he may develop
strength in opposition to Bryan.

The Menace Of the Forest.

The climatic history of the Old
World will repeat itself in Amer
lea. If forest destruction, at its
present rate of recklessness,
should continue much longer, our
continent will have to dry up.
But the fact remains, and its sig
nificance may be inferred from
the experience of the Mediter-
ranean coast lands, where thous-
ands of god-gardens have been
turned into Gehenas Of wretch
edness and desolation. By tree
destruction alone a territory Of
4, 500, 900 square miles has been
withdrawn from the habitable
area of our planet. The physical
history of the eastern hemis.
phere is the history Of a desert
that originated somewhere near
the cradle Of the Caucasian race,
in Bactria, perhaps, and spread.
ing westward and southwark,
has blighted the Edens of three
continents like a devouring fire
and is now scorching the wesI
coast of Africa. and sending it,
warning sand clouds far out t
seward. DIR. Felix l.. Oswald

IT has been said that there is
more pleasure in pursuit than in
