sas,ooo FIRE ar CHAppELLs.
w. r.. Reid, Well Known In Wal
halla, u Heavy Loser.

Newberry, Jan. 25.--A disastrous
fire occurred at Chappells at an early
hour this morning, destroying prop
erty valued at about $4,000. 1t is
estimated that the property was
about half covered by insurance
The fire occurred at about o'clock.
The section foreman Of the Southern
railroad and two Of his hands, who
were first on the scene after the con-
fiagration began, think 1t must have
started in the general merchandise
establishment of w. r. Reid.
The losses were about as follows:
General merchandise stock of Hollo-
way Bros, slightly damaged by re-
moval; brick building, occupied by
Holloway Bros, not damaged; brick
building occupied by Glenn Smith
Mercantile Company, two-story
building, owned by Smith Bros, all
woodwork of building burned end
building almost totally ruined. A
conservative estimate world place
the loss on this building in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. The amount Of
insurance on the building has not
been learned. The Glenn Smith Mer-
camille Company conducted furni-
ture store in one side Of the build
ing, and in this side also was the
post office. In the other side was the
general merchandise establishment
of the Glenn Smith Company. The
stocks of goods IN the stores were
entirely destroyed, the loss being
about $4,000, with about $4,000 in
surance.
A frame building, occupied by W.
r. Reid's general merchandise es-
tablishment, and owend by w. r.
Reid, was entirely destroyed, the
building being valued at about
5 500, partly covered by insurance
The general merchandise stock of w.
r. Reid was destroyed, the loss of
stock being about $4,000, about
$500 of which was covered by in
, Snrance.
A frame building, occupied by Leo
Hamilton's general merchandise es-
tablishment, the building owned by
w. r. Reid, was destroyed. The
building, it is estimated, was worth
about $500. What insurance Mr..
Reid carried on the building has not
been learned.
The general merchandise stock Of
Leo Hamilton, valued at about $3,-
600, was wiped out. About half the
value of the stock, it Is estimated,
was covered by insurance.
A frame building, owned by DR..
w. o. Holloway, and occupied by
NJ. A. Attaway's barber shop, was de-
stroyed, but the barber shop fixtures
were saved. The building, it is esti-
mated, was worth from $500 to
$500; amount of insurance unknown
How the fire started Is not known,
but it is thought by some to have
| been Of incendiary origin.

HAS ANSWERED LAST CALL.
w. jpn. Burton Died Suddenly Last
Thursday,

The announcement last Friday of
the death of w. j.. N. Burton, who
resided a few miles from Walhalla,
came as sad surprise to friends
here and in the county.
Mr.. Burton had been in apparent
ly perfect health up to within few
hours of his death, which occurred
about 1 l o'clock last Thursday night
at his home southeast of town. He
had gone in the evening about z
o'clock short distance from his
house to bring back a load of wood,
and was accompanied by his wife and
small child. AS he cared the point
where he was to stop his wagon he
passed very close hstween the front
wheel of the wagon and a small sap
ling, and his wife noticed an uncer-
tain swey cs HE body and thought
that he had been hurt In passing be-
tween the wagon and tree. He, how
ever, assured her he was not hurt,
and asked her to hand him his axe,
and as he took 1t his body sank
slowly to the ground, and he uttered
few words, then became uncon-
scious and was taken to his home,
where four hours later he passed
peacefully away, not having regained
consciousness. The cause of his
death was an attack of paralysis.
w. j. n. Burton was a gallant Con-
federate soldier, and at the outbreak
OF hostilities enlisted as a private in
the Fourth South Carolina Regi-
ment, Company 1, Palmetto Sharp
shooters, under Capt. F. N Garvin.
He served throughout the war and
was known as gallant and fearless
soldier. He was an upright, honora-
Bile citizen, and his death will cause
deep sorrow to his comrades and
many younger friends, who had come
to know him since the war.
He was in his sixty-seventh year
and had he survived until next Mon
day, February 1st, he would have
celebrated the 9th anniversary of
his birth day. He was twice mar
ried, four children by his first mar
riage still living-Thomas P. Bur-
ton, Of Seneca; w. II. Burton, of
Fairview, this county; Mrs. Frances
Cole, of Greenville, and Mrs. Cloe
Grant, of Atlanta. About eight years
ago he was married to Miss Sophia
Orr, who, with four children, three
daughters and one son, survives him.
One brother, P. M. J. Burton, and
one sister, Mrs. Isabella l.. Neal, also
survive to mourn his death.
Mr.. Burton was an humble, unas-
suming man, scrupulously honest
and honorable in his dealings with
all, and he will be greatly missed
by wide circle of friends and nu-
merous relatives in various parts Of
the county. At the age Of fifteen
years he Joined the Baptist church,
Of which he was a consistent and con-
secrated member at the time of his
death. On Saturday last at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon his body was laid
to rest In the New Hope Baptist cem-
etery, short service being conduct
ed by Rev. D. P. Bearden, in the
presence Of a large number Of sor-
rowing relatives and friends.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the bereaved ones
