The Meeting.

The attendance at the series of meet
ings which commenced at the Christian
church became so great that it was
necessary to remove to the ourt-house,
and that large auditorium has been
crowded to its utmost capacity each
evening. ED Brandt is a thorough
scholar, and perhaps the most gifted
pulpit orator that ever visited Colum-
bia. Being exceedingly forceful, his
stories of the lowly Nazarene, are ted
in the most thrilling and captivating
manner. 1t is indeed treat to hear
him, and his coming to Columbia will
evidently result in much good. All re-
ligious people are hearing him, and if
critics have been present, they have
made themselves known only in praise,
eulOgizing the speaker in the most com
plimentary language
The meeting will continue until next
Thursday night, closing with an illus
trated lecture on the Passion Play. No
one should fail to hear it.
Ed. Brandt's son-in-law, Mr. Berg
and wife, are with him in the meeting.
rendering inspiring songs and doing
personal work. Mrs. Berg has endear-
ed herself to the children whom she is
taking special interest in, teaching
them religious songs and giving much
wholesome advice. These three godly
persons will long be remembered by
both saint and sinner of this commune
ty,
The largest crowd that ever assem-
bled in Columbia, to hear a discourse,
wedged into the courthouse Sunday
night. ED. Brandt's theme was Paul's
Defense of Himself before King
Agrippa. T he speakers oratorical
powers are great, and upon this occas-
ion he seemed to be at his best. His
language was choice, his oratory per-
feet, thrilling the hundreds who heard
him. He closed with touching appeal
to sinners and fifteen young men and
young women went forward and made
confessions.

supposed to have caught from de-
fective fue. AS soon as the fire was
discovered, the arm was sounded, and
neighbors reached the burning building

The loss is estimated at $1,000, Sl,25O

lock will rebuild. Mr. Whitlock and
family are excellent people and they
have the sympathy of the county in the
loss of their home.

Fire started in restaurant shortly
after 5 o'clock last Saturday morning
destroying an entire business block in.

nercial Hotel and several stores. The
blaze ragged for over an hour and gained
such Roadway that it was difficult to
bring it under control
The loss will reach $50, 900, with only
about $1,000 insurance.
The fire originated.in the restaurant
owned by Brack Sanders, and as the
building was a wooden structure the
James spread quickly to the buildings
adjoining and in a few minutes the
entire block was mass of flames. By
lard fighting the buildings on the oppo-
site side of the street were saved eX-
cept the Puryear building, which was
destroyed. All the plate glass show win
lows in the storerooms on the opposite
side of the street from the fire were
broken by the intense heat, and damage
from this will be considerable
Only the stiffness of the wind saved
the town from being wiped out. Had
there been the least wind nothing could
have saved it. The buildings destroyed
and the amount of their losses are as

The estimates of the losses are taken
from the Courier-J Journal. Some of
them appear to be overestimated, but
as no one has sent in a report from the
scene, we give what is before US.

from fires in recent years, and we hope
that the buildings destroyed will be re-
placed with substantial bricks.
