Public Spirited Action Taken by City
Council of Spartanburg.
NO. g..

The new city council seems to ap-
preciate the newspaper. A newspa-
per Is one of the greatest assets q
town can have; its influence is not a
tangible thing, but being subtle it Is
most powerful. No city can afford to
be without one. The: advertising
given is of mcalculable value to the
community. To place license on
newspapers is, therefore, ridiculous,
as well as lacking in appreciation.
We are glad to see that the new

FIRE At MANNING.
Clark'S Tobacco Warehouse and Other
Buildings Destroyed.

Manning, November %: =
Clark's tobacco warehouse, a
large frame building, was total
ly destroyed by fire about 8
o'clock this morning, together
with the adjacent three-story
prize house and a barn belong
ing to DR. W NJ Brockinton. Sew
eral dwellings in the vicinity
were greatly endangered, but
owing to the absence Of wind
and the presence of shade trees,
the fire was kept from spread
ing farther. There was no stock
of tobacco on hand in the ware
house, all having been shipped
since the close of the season,but
a considerable quantity of corn
and hay, a fine Jersey COW, an
OK. a practically new buggy and
a lot of coopering material were
destroyed in the fire. The ware
house buildings, which were Of
heart pine, were erected about
twelve years ago at q cost OF
something over $4,000, but the
price of lumber is much higher
now than it was then. It would
probably cost $4,000 to put up
the same budding now. There
was So, ,250 insurance on the
buildings, but none on the live
stock and other contents. Dr.
Brockinton's loss was about
$500 or S400, partially covered
by insurance. The origin OF the
fire is not known. Il. will De re-
