:
tween FIFTY and Sixty Thousand
Dollars.
A big fire visited Branchville on
last Monday morning at two o'clock.
Several of the most prominent stores
in the town were destroyed, entailing
loss Of fifty or sixty thousand dol
lars. The origin OF the fire is not
known.
1t originated in the store of Dukes
& Co., and in q short time after be-
ing discovered the store and its con-
tents were in ashes. Mr.. A. F. II.
Dukes, who managed this business,
says, his stock of goods was worth
$4,000 and his building $1,000. with
insurance to the amount of $4,000.
II. Berry Co., next door to Dukes 6:
Co., had stock of $4,000; loss $4,000,
insurance $4,000.
F.. F. Bellinger, loss $4,000, insur-
ance S4,50O. Mr.. Bellinger occupied
the upstairs of the building that he
kent store in. as residence. and he
saws that his loss is about $1,000 with
no insurance.
j. 3. Henderson, loss partial his
building saved by hard work. HIS
beautiful stock is damaged by fire and
water about $4,000, covered by in
surance.
Clifton A. Dukes owned the build
ing occupied by H. Berry Co., and F.
F. Bellinger;; his building was a total
loss. The building was a total loss,
The building was valued at $4,000
with $4,000 insurance.
P. C. Dukes sustained loss OF
$1,000, covered by insurance. l.. a.
Gardner lost $50, no insurance.
Blacks Pharmacy lost S400 or $500,
covered by insurance.
Luckily there was very little wind
blowing at the time Of the fire. 1t is
due largely to this fact that the whole
business section of the town would
have been burned down.
s. Branchville needs a good nre de-
partment and the town could make
no better investment ,han i'll procur-
ing one.
While the fire was bad enough, we
are glad it was no worse, and nope
that the merchants who were burned
out will soon be ready for business
again.

SEND +. ID. SMITH TO THE SENATE
Some Good Reasons Why He Should
Represents South Carolina.

.oOlllS <1too ~ NY IN N'''SNtA>'
represents South Carolina.
Some OF the politicians have charg-
ed that Hon. E. D. Smith has used
the Southern Cotton Association as 4
means of riding into office. but the
thinking man, the farmer-the real
producer Of wealth and even the
business man, must admit that the
work dcne by E. D. Smith through
out the South and in South Carolina
particularly, has brought more
money to the farmer, the merchant,
the doctor, the lawyer and to every
other class than that OF any other
man who has espoused the cause OF
the South. His work has brought re-
suits, the increased price of cotton
which Mr.. Smith and his associates
are largely responsible for bringing
about, has made the people OF South
Carolina-all of them-more prosper
ous than they have ever been before.
Mr.. Smith attended the University
of South Carolina and is an aiumus
of Wofford College. He received ms
masters degree at Vanderbuilt Unl1
yersity, the great Methodist instltu-
ton of the South.
He comes of distinguished ances-
tors, being a brother Of the llamented
Bishop A. Coke Smith.
Mr.. Smith is an orator OF natlonai
repute and would be able to hold ms
own with the giants of the Senate
With Smith in the United States
Senate, South Carolina would again
come into her own and be heard from
by the rest of the country. MT
Smith has world Of energy; lie
would not only hold his own on the
floor of the Senate, but his enersetlc
work in the committee room would
count for South Carolina.

DAIRY IMPROVEMENT.

It is impossible to build up and
maintain dairy herd except through
discriminating selection, and this can
only be attained where careful rec
ords are kept and high standard
of excellence sought.
The keeping of records need no.
be a costly undertaking. Weighing
the milk twice week, testing the
herd by means Of the Babcock test,
and adjusting the ration according to
the amount of milk given by the COW,
will insure the owners obtaining larg-
er returns, effecting a great saw
ing in the cost Of foodstuffs, and
increasing the average productive
capacity of his herd throughesthe
elimination Of improbable animals.
Records enable the dairyman to de.
termine the Kind and amount of food
required for a herd, says Farm and
Home, and he can thus plan out his
'crop rotations to the best advantage
and determine what is the best form
of concentrates to purchase for bal
ancing up his rations.
