The fire alarm sounded SATURDAY.
at about 4 o'clock a. m. for a fire on
Fifth Avenue east in the residence of
Miss Grace Goodykoontz. Prepara-
lions were being made for Mr.. and
Mrs. Roy Metcalf to move into the
house and the nan who was cleaning
it up built a fire in the furnace late
in the evening. According to the re-
port the fire was not checked and it
burned very strong and finally set
fire to the woodwork in the cellar.
The flames burned up through the
west wall and came on. through the
side. They were discovered by Mrs.
Vogus, who noticed the glare of light
on their windows, and turned in the
alarm. Mr.. Vogus and G. w. ellis
were the first at the fire and attaching
a garden hose to the house soon had
the worst Of the flames under sub
lection. The fire department came
in a short time afterward and put
the finishing touches to the fire. Con-
siderable damage was done to the
floors, which were buried SO that
they sagged badly. It was a close call
to the entire house being destroyed
by the flames. Mr.. Metcalf had but
a few pieces of furniture in the house
and these we're not damaged to any
extent.

known to me that would the least
tend to reflect upon your character
as Christian gentleman. You
gave up all your property to your
creditors cheerfully and it paid
good dividend OH your debts. Those
that did not accept this dividend
were afterward settled with by you
and the record is clear and honor
able in every particular.
Il will add that have had many

of your business life among us and
have always found you fair and
upright, and a true gentleman.
Your administration of our town

you have been wholly impartial in

Below is reproduced in full the
circular my friends issued in my
behalf two years ago, and which
Mr. Rogers has so violently criti
cised in his recent circular and i'll
the one issued two years ago:
AN ADDRESS TO THF DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS oE THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
We, the undersigned neighbors
of P A Hodges, Marlboro's candi-
date for Congress, do hereby COM
mend him to the Democratic voters
of the Sixth Congressional district
as AN able, consistent and loyal
! Democrat, "A business man of sagac
ity and ability, a Christian gentle
man of high ideals and pure life, a
man who has never proved recreant
to any public or private trust, and
who, we believe, would bring honor
and prestige to this district as our
Representative in Congress.
Mr. Hodges is native of this
county and hasspent his life among
us, and we feel that he is worthy of
any honor that his fellow citizens
can bestow upon him. He was four
times elected Mayor of Benefits
vile, and he discharged the duties
of this Office with conspicuous abil-
ity and fearlessness. He dealt JUS
tice to all with an even hand, with
out regard to the financial or social
standing of those charged with the
violation of law, and his vigorous
prosecution of law-breakers did
much toward driving all forms OF
vice out of the city.
Mr. Hodges is a man of recog-
nized business ability and integrity.
Several years ago, when he was
just beginning what promised to be
a successful mercantile career there
came a panic and two bad crop
years, and the failure of those whom
he had furnished supplies to pay
their accounts caused him serious
financial embarrassment for a while;
but he was not satisfied for his cred
itors to lose, and he went to work
and settled every dollar of indebt'
edness against him, though it took
him several years to do it.
Mr. Hodges is all earnest and
loyal church and Sunday-school
worker. He has been for fifteen
years a steward and trustee of the
Methodist church, for ten years
chairman of the board of stewards,
and for fifteen years superintendent
of the Sunday-school. He was
lay delegate from this State to the
last general conference.
Last winter when the trustees
of Columbia College were looking
over the State for the best man to
make their financial agent, the
choice fell upon P A Hodges, al
though no layman had ever before

municate with me | was unable to
reach Bennettsville in time for the
trial. This was not compromised
at 50 per cent, as stated by Mr.
Rogers, but about 70 per cent of the
amount claimed was paid, the re-
manning 80 per cent being approxi-
mately the amount of counter
claims against the company bring
ing suit.
The circular issued by my friends
two years ago was distributed i'll
Marlboro county and especially at
Clio OIL the day of the campaign
meeting there, which was nearly a
month before Mr. Rogers issued his
circular. 1t was printed in Pee
Dee Advocate office-no attempt at
secrecy was made-was published
in papers all over the district--was
seen by dozens of people in the
county before being published,
whereas the circular of Messrs Rog-
ers and Ellerbe was printed by a
person bound to secrecy-all coax
ing and opportunities failed to get
from him an admission that the
circular had been issued.
If Nlessrs Rogers and Ellerbe
honestly believed there was merit
in their circular, why all this Sc
Gregg Why did they wish to keep
it from me, until too late for reply
before the primary?
! The envelope inclosing Mr. Rog-
ers' circular mailed me shows by
postoffice stamp that it was mailed
Saturday morning August p !90S,
when Mr. Rogers knew l was i'll

Vile at $50 o'clock Friday after
noon, August p, 1908, and could
not return until Saturday night

pie before the primary the follow
ing Tuesday, August IS. 1908. l
have other evidence that the pur-
pose of MessrS Rogers ana Ellerbe
was to prevent my securing their
circular, but the above is sufficient.
Now l ask why this persecution?
Why should 7 l Rogers hound me
thus? Mr. Rogers is a relative of J
f Ellerbe and come cted with him
by marriage. The late Governor
Ellerbe, brother of J E Ellerbe,
was a brother-in-law of 7 l
Rogers. Before Mr. Rogers last
circular was issued, J E Ellerbe
stated during his speech at Nebo
in Marion county that he proposed
to food that county with circulars,
or words to that effect. The cir
culars are being distributed. Is this
not significant?
This is not the first time that Mr.
Rogers has attempted to besmirch
my business character and reputa-
ton.
Those who know me and are ia
miliar with my business career
have always been ready to bespeak
their confidence. Was my business
failure in the nineties and the set
tlement of my affairs in 1904 clean
and honorable? On account of for
mer attacks upon me by Mr. Rogers
I deemed it right and proper to Sc
cure the two letters following:
Bennettsville, S c,
August 20, 1906.
"Mr P A Hodges,
Bennettsville, S c.
Dear Sir:-At your request !
beg to state that in 1894 when you
assigned all your property to me
for the benefit of your creditors, it
was done after 1 carefully consid-
cred your entire business affairs.
Owing to your heavy losses by
making advances on liens, it was
all that could be done to pay up
each creditor and guarantee to each
one his pro rata share, of the assets.
You turned over to me at that time
