Caused by Fireworks.

A snerial disratch from Kingstree
to The State says about noon Satur-
day the store Of L. D. Rogers 6 co.
caught on fire and the stock Of goods
was practically all destroyed. The
fire was caused from the accidental
discharge of fireworks, which immeu-
lately get the whole store of dry
goods and shoes on FIRE. Merchants
handling fireworks should be very
careful with them. No fire should be
allowe7 where they are stored. Such
precautions as these would have pre-
vented the accident at Kingstree.

KING WOULD KEEP
SWEDES AT HOME
Strong Effort is Being Made to
End Emigration to the
United States.

STOCKHOLM. Feb. Sin an effort
to check emigration from Sweden
King Gustav has just approved a plan
for q series of national plays in Swed~
ish theaters to awaken a more pa
triotic feeling among the people. The
enterprise will be pushed with esLs-
ciai Vigor at 0ottenburg, where most
emigrants bound for America embark.
The King says that emigration has
for years drained Sweden of large
proportion of its best and most en-
ferprising blood. The recent general
strike which ended with many high
class workingmen out of positions.
and still larger number dissatisfied
with labor conditions In Sweden. has
given decided impetus to emigra-
ton.
AS supplement to the theater plan,
the King has engaged the Arctic ex-
plorer, Nordenskjol to tour the coun-
try. lecturing on national subjects TO
keep the Swedes at home.

SPORTING END TO
SOUTH POLE QUEST
American and English Expedi-
tons Race for Honor of
Discovery.

LONDON. Feb. 3.--Britishers are
to-day enthusiastic over the prospect
of a race to the South Pole between
American and British expeditions.
News that the American National
Geographical Society and the Peary
Arctic Club will in all probability CO.
operate has already caused many sub
scriptions to the fund that is being
raised to send Captain Scott on his
Antarctic trip.
The Brttishers enjoy the injection
N IA sporting element. such as the
race with the American expedition.
Should the American. expedition
start in the fall. as Indicated by
Commander Peary, 1t ts believed here
that the American and Scott expe-
ditions should, provided everything
goes we'll. reach the South Pole very
close together, in the latter part or
December, 1911.
The English people have their
hearts set on capturing this greatest
remaining honor in the world Of ex-
ploration. and should the American
expedition arrive at the Southern end
OF the world ahead OF Captain Scout,
the nation will suffer one OF Its
greatest disappointments.
