FIRE AT ALCOLU.
But for the Rain the Entire Plant
Would Have Been Destroyed.

Thursday a. m. about 5 o'clock fire
was discovered in the dynamo house
Of the Alderman Lumber Co. at Alco-
lu. The flames soon got beyond con-
troll, and destroyed the electric light
plant, thus putting the place in dark
ness.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated. No theories have yet been ad-
vanced. This much is practically GER
tain, however. If it had not been rain.
ing at the time, the entire plant would
have been consumed. The electric
light plant is very close to the lumber
plant, and nothing but providence
could have saved the latter when the
first was consumed.
The loss is between $4,000 and So
600 fully covered by insurance.

Health Oficer Reardon has disin-
fected the house Of Mr.. Madison
Yates. who had small pox at Bos-
sard's Cross Roads, and has raised
the quarantine. Mrs. Yates has not
30 far contracted the disease, az her
vaccination appears to have protect
ed her. but she may develop small
pox yet as the prescribed period of
incubation. from last date of exposure
will not expire until next Saturday
week.
About four hundred persons were
vaccinated in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of the Yates case. and the fact
that the county commissioners
promptly took the matter in hand
and backed up the city health officer
by quarantine and compulsory vacci-
nation, averted what threaten
ed to be a serious outbreak
Of smallpox. Rigid inquiry fails
to pring to light any other cases on
the Sumter county side Of the infect
ed territory.
MI. and Mrs. Yates faithfully OBJ
served every rule of quaran-
tine and assited in every way
within their power in check
ing the spread of the dis
ease from their house. The health
ohicer says that all statements to the
effect that different parties had seen
and talked with Mr.. Yates during the
time he was under quarantine are
absolutely false.

PROHIBITION AND BLIND
TIGERS.
Caustic Comment on Existing Condi.
tions-Blind Tigers Numerous and
Unmolested.
Editor Daily Item:

Editor Daily Item:
few days ago you published
squib, based on information given
by postal clerk, to the effect that
$400 a day passed through the mon
ey order department for the purchase
OF liquor from abroad 1t is more
than likely that an inspection of the
books at the postofice whould show
these figures to have been exaggerat-
ed, but as Uncle Sam" will allow
no such examination, the question
must remain an open one. One fact,
though, stands out: Business in Sum-
ter has improved since the closing of
the dispensary, which shows that less
money is spent for whiskey than for
merly.
1t seems to be fact, however, that
liquor is sold in Sumter, and the
knowing ones say that it can be
bought in perhaps a dozen places
within the fire limits. The police
force, with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions. have done practically MOTH
ing to bring the blind tigers to jus
tice, and 1t looks very much as IL
no effort will be put forth by them
until they are responsible to a city
government pledged to enforcement
Of the law, and it is up to the people
of the city to select officials in the
coming election who will see to IL
that the laws are executed.
1t may interest some of your read.
ers to know that there are three in
ternal revenue licenses held in Sum-
ter, two of them by clubs and one
by a private individual. Now, what
does a club want with a liquor Ii
cense, If they are not selling liquor?
And why are not these places raided?
At least one of the clubs thus equip
ped has been guilty of some very
questionable transactions in the mat
ter of ordering liquor. notwithstand-
ing some of its members were in
timately connected with the city.
government. Liquor ordered by the
club was shipped to Sumter from
Richmond, Va, in the name Of i'm
dividual citizens, without their know
ledge or consent, and upon it's ar
rival here was taken out of the depot
and hauled to the club rooms.
Now, who was responsible for such
outrages, the club or the club Of
ficers? We have no intention OF
censuring all of the members OF
these clubs, for the sins of a few.
but if the club was not selling IL
quor, why the necessity of such
methods?
1t was Gov. Folk, of Missouri, we
believe, who said, after his successful
campaign against the grafters and
boodlers Of st. Louis, that wherever
blind tigers and gamblers were al
lowed to go unmolested there was
sure to be graft or incompetency
somewhere. How is it with Sumter?
And what are the honest, intelligent
voters Of the city going to do about
it?

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.
Secretary Nagel Discusses Subject
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, February 19.-Secretary Ma
gel of the Department of Commerce and
Labor was the guest of honor at the
banquet of the Commercial Club tonight
He discussed Employers Liability
After reviewing what has been done in
the past toward establishing legal liability
of the employer and the conditions which
have led to such legislation, Mr.. Nagel
said:
Il have no question about the right,
the propriety, the wisdom OF such legis-
lation to certain point. The question is,
Where shall the line be drawn? To put
1t broadly, shall the employer be COM
PEELED to pay for the recklessness of his
employee?
IF that be the contention, We abandon
the basis upon which the employers liza
bility has so far stood. Such legislation
would plainly declare for compulsory
charity, paternalism pure apd simple

MAY BE NINA'S BUOY.
Sighted on February IL by Bark Ar

may have been from the missing United

in port from Jacksonville. Capt Erik
son of the bark says that February IL in
latitude 1888 north, longitude 1872 west,
he passed considerable wreckage among
which was the buoy. The captain did
not know the Nina was missing, and did
not make close inspection of the buoy.
The Good News encountered very heavy
weather the same day. and in an attempt
to calm the sea the captain poured about
ten gallons of oil on the water. This.
he said. had a good effect in lessening
the force of seas. which at one time
nearly engulfed the small bark. The
captain says that during the storm the
galley, boatswains room and the cabin
of the Good News We're flooded, and
that three doors in the forecastle of the
bark were torn from their fastenings
