Cotton Gin Caught Fire.

Especial to Times and Democrat
Branchville, Sept. 9.-Yesterday
the cotton in the gin house of MIR.
A. S. Dukes caught fire twice in a
short time. Mr.. Dukes was away,
having been called to Orangeburg
to attend court, he left one of his
sons in charge and when the fire
was discovered the fire alarm was
sounded and in a few minutes enough
help was at the gin to put the fire
out. When the first caught first,
the cotton of P. Jakes was being
ginned and it was thought that
a match had possibly been dropped
in the cotton and caused the fire
but when the second fire occurred
an examination was made and 1t
was found that the saws in some
way got hot and possibly the fire
originated in this way There was
very little damage done, doubtless
due to the fact that Mr.. Dukes takes
every precautioa that he can and
always keeps plenty If water dIl;i-
able for such occasions as this

dollars caused by the voting out the

the fee for the children who are not
able to do so.
