ROOF BURNED
At Home of Mrs. Hattie E. Reach in
 Columbia.

Sparks from a chimney ignited a fire on the roof of Mrs. Hattie E. Keach's house. in South Coventry, Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock. Before the blaze could be extinguished the roof on one side had been badly burned. The place is known as the David Hunt ington homestead, and is situated in the south part of the town.
 Employees of the Armstrong carriage works with fire extinguishers and buckets of water finally succeeded in subduing the flames, after hard work. The loss is estimated at between $200 and $500 and is fully covered by in surance. Practically all of the damage was confined to one side of the roof; the interior damage is said to be by water only. The effectiveness of half a dozen fire extinguishers in the hands of willing men was directly responsible for the successful handling of the fire, which at first was greatly feared.

Of January, and the amount Of cash
listed for taxation. We do not know,
but there was a great deal Of it and
taxes were paid on all Of it either
directly or indirectly, except so much
Of it as was deposited by the City
and the General Government, either
on the businesses in which the money
was invested or on the money itself.
Of course, DR.. Cromer knows that the
sixteen million dollars or so in the
banks Of Charleston is not there in
actual cash at any one time; but that
it is ou4 at work, great deal OF it
in mortgages on real estate, in loans
to business men, in the varied actlvl-
ties of industry and commerce, and
that all Of it pays its share of tax
alton. We say nothing about the
property owners Of Newberry, and
suggest nothing to their discredit. In
the matter Of taxation in Newberry
we are a local option taxationist, if
we may be allowed to coin a word for
the occasion. We would never think
of going to Georgetown and st.
George to tell the people of those
communities that the property OWL
ers Of Newberry were lodging the
tax-gatherer any more than we would
think Of going to those communities
as "local option Prohibitionist' to
discourse upon the subject Of local
option in another town. Least Of all
would We think Of repeating fable
as fact for the purpose of embellish-
ing period or making a point, or
citing horrible example without rel
evance to the local situation.
We are local option Prohibition
ist, likewise and Of necessity local
option Dispensary advocate and To-
sal option high license newspaper. We
are not a local option blind tigerite,
and, by the same token, we are not "a
crazy Prohi5itionist."
