cottage on West Hampton Avenue
DestrOyed-HOse Wagons Have
Accidents.

From The Daily Item, Sept. so.
AT 1 o'clock this morning the five
room cottage on West Hampton
Avenue, owned by DR.. E. s. Booth,
but formerly owned and occupied by
Mrs. NJ. A. Flowers was discovered
to be on fire and the alarm was sent
in calling out the hose wagons. The
flreman on duty at headquarters
made an effort to report promptly,
but one wagon suffered an accident
in coming out of the house, the
tongue being broken by collision with
the door post, putting it out; of COM
mission. The other wagon got as
far as Main street, but a wheel came
was made from Liberty and here the
wagon remained. A two horse wag-
on was procured from Boyle's Stable
lot, the horses transferred to it from
one hose wagon and the firemen pro.
ceeded to the fire. When they arriv-
ed, however, the house was practical
ly destroyed, nothing remaining
standing but the frame. A stream OF
water was turned on the embers and
| the residue Of the conHagration ex-
tinguished. The result would have
been the same had the firemen ar
| rived on the scene Immediately after
the alarm was sent in, for when the
fire was discovered the greater par,
| Of the house was ablaze and the root
falling in.
The house was unoccupied, but DR.
Booth had about $3.50 worth of fur.
niture stored in it and Mrs M. A.
Flowers also had an organ and sew.
eral other articles Of furniture stored
there. Nothing was saved, for the
| first to arrive found the fire too far
advanced to remove any Of the con.
tents. DR.. Booths furniture was in.

The American cruiser Chester is

when she left American waters to
afford protection to a party Of
American archaelogists, under Prof.
Richard Newton, who contemplated
excavations in the neighborhood Of

war may change it's plans.
Italy's standing army in 1901
numbered approximately 225,000
men and $4,000 officers, but a far
greater number could be put in the
field in case Of necessity. The Italian
navy consists in vessels, commission
ed built or building, fifteen battle
ships. Of nine armored cruisers, II
| unarmored cruisers and gun vessels,
SO destroyers, an equal number Of
first class torpedo boats and 22 sub
marines. In the naval force there
are approximately $1,000 men. AS
whole, the Italian navy is generally
ranked fifth among nations. AS sea-

remarkable war vessels.
Turkey has a fighting strength Of
nine coast defence iron-clads, Ave
protected cruisers, six, torpedo ves-

greater nations. this array is a neg

The nominal strength Of the Turk

Get Independent.

The secret which the Southern
FARMERS have not yet solved could be
solved by the method suggested by
Mr.. j. b. Dial at the farmers meet
ing Monday. He suggested that the
farmers come to the assistance of the
town and city people and place their
earnings in the banks and trust COM
panies so that when situations like the
present arise the farmers will have
enough money back of them to hold
their cotton without having to call
on the bankers Of the North. If the
farmers persist in placing all their
earnings in raising more cotton and
then do not provide for proper
financing Of their undertakings they
can expect nothing else but poor re-
turns. Anyone reading the finan-
cial magazines will learn that a large
per cent Of the failures in the bust
ness world is due to lack Of capital
Many seemingly thriving business
has gone To the wall from lack of
capital 10 tide over just such pre-
dicaments as the southern farm
are facing. Just as the crop pros
poets seem to be favorable for a bet
ter price now, just so many CONNER
cial houses sometimes have bright
prospects but go to the wall from
lack OF money TO carry on the busi-
ness. What the farmers will have to
do is to stop placing so much money
I'm producing cotton and provide
some way of financing the crop after
1t is made. In this way the crop will
bo reduced In size and at the same
time good revenue will be derived
from the money invested. Of course
this only applies to those farmers
who are making money and who

SEABOARD SURVEYORS ARRIVE
Preliminary Survey from BishOpvilIe
Completed.

The engineers who are making the
survey Of the line Of the South Car
olina Western Railway from Harts-
vile to Sumter reached this city Fri
day afternoon, having completed the
preliminary survey from Bishopville,
which they started last week. They
entered the city east Of Main street,
crossing Calhoun at Green street. For
the last six miles the line surveyed
runs parallel with and very near the
&c. S. and N. branch Of the Atlantic
Coast Line, passing back Of the Poor
House farm at the Bland place.
1t was stated by one Of the sur
veyors that the line proved unsatisfac-
tory as 1T carried them too far to
the east Of the route they preferred
and too close to the c. S. and N.
railroad. Another line will be sur
veyed next week and If this Is not
satisfactory still others will be made
before the route Of the road is final
ly located.
The survey Of the section Of the
road between Hartsville and Bishop
Vile has been completed and the
road located. Everything is in readi-
ness for beginning the construction Of
this section and it is planned to be-
gin grading within two weeks

The origin Of the fire is unknown.
but there are only two reasonable
suppositions: One that is was the
work Of a incendiary, who had first
robbed the house, the other that il
resulted from the carelessness of
some Of the laborers who were at
work in the lot during the previous
day. They may have been smoking
on the premises and dropped a Gig
arctic spump, which smoultered for
hours until the fire broke out after
midnight. This theory does not seem
plausible, however.

DIDN'T STICK TO HAMPTON.
When Votes Counted, Blease Cast
His Vote for Irby, Record Shows.

Columbia, Sept. 29.-At the RED
Shirt" meeting in the Columbia The
atre Wednesday night, in his address
to the followers of Wade Hampton of
1875, Governor Cole L. Blease elicit
ed great applause by his declaration
that as a member Of the House OF
Representatives in 1890 he had voted
for Wade Hampton for Senator. An
examination of the journal Of the
House of Representatives for that
year shows that while Mr.. Blease did
vote for Hampton on the first ballot,
which was purely formal, he voted
on all succeeding ballots for John L.
M. Irby who was elected over Hamp-
ton on the seventh ballot.
The journal shows that in accord
ance with the Federal law, each
house balloted separately for Sem
ator on Tuesday Decembre 8, 1890.
The vote in the House stood: For
Hampton. 81; for Irby, so; for Dom
aldson 33; for ]. J. Hemphill, 2; for
E. S. Keitt. 2; for G. D. Tillman, !;
for Robert Smalls, 8. None Of the
candidates received a majority, eth
er in the House or Senate, and in ac-
cordance with the law. the two
houses met in joint assembly the fol-
lowing day. when the first joint bal
lot was taken.
The journal for Wednesday, De-
| cember 10. 1890, pages 221 to 223,
shows that on this, the second bal
lot. Irby received 63 votes; Donald
son As; Hampton AZ; Hemphill 8,
| and Smalls /. Those recorded as
voting for Irby (page 1929 are as fol-
lows: "Messrs Alderman, Bissell
Blake, Blease, Browning, Buchanan,
Buist." etc
The third ballot, on Thursday, De-
cember, 1890. pages 244 and 245 of
the journal, show again that Blease
voted for Irby, as he did on the 9TH
CT tHTee DdllOtS taken the same day.
On the fourth ballot Of that day. De-
| cember IL, watch was the seventh
ballot in all. Irby was elected, the
| vote standing as follows: Irby 10b;
Donaldson 81 Hampton 49, neces-
sary to a choice, 70.
The record, therefore, shows that
while Mr.. Blease did vote for Wade
Hampton on the first formal ballot.
in the House, he did not vote for
Hampton at all in the joint assembly.
when the really decisive ballots were
| taken. but voted for Irby each time,
| six in all.
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
| Ira B. Jones, then also a member of
the House, and now candidate for
Governor against Mr.. Blease, voted
for 1rby all the way through, having
been appointed chairman Of the ways
and means committee by Irby, who
was then Speaker, and Jones sue
| seeded Irby as Speaker when Irby
resigned TO take Hampton's place.

Old Ticket Office to Be Aba n,
don ed.

A news dispatch from Coving ton
says:
Passenger representatives of seven
Cincinnati railroads which have been
maintaining a joint city ticket Office at
the corner of Fourth and Scott streets,
Covington, held conference Thursday
in the office of General Passenger
Agent w. B. Galloway. of the c. n. &
D., and decided that. effective March
l. the office, which is one of the land
marks of the Kentucky suburb. shall
pass out of existence. The office has
failed behind the march of modern
progress and was becoming a financial
burden. Ticket sales have dwindled to
about one quarter what they were ten
years ago. The Office mas been in ex-
istence for about thirty years.
''In its day the Office was good rev.
enue producer. but with the introduc-
tiOn of telephones, better street car
service and the fact that a majority of
passengers from across the river came
to this side to buy tickets and to make
Pullman reservations, the usefulness
of the office has passed. At first it
was thought advisable to move the
office to location nearer the business
center If Covington. but the cost of a
new office and the expense of fitting it
up was found to entail larger sum of
money than any of the roads cared to
assume.
George nj. Abbott has been i'm
charge of the Office since it was open
ed for business. OF late years he has
supervised the work of clerks hired by
himself. When an inventory of the
office was taken Thursday by the rep
resentatives of the roads interested
nearly $500 ticket forms, many OF
them obsolete, were found in the Office.
Many of the ticket forms have not
heen in use for years. and an interest
iug collection of them will be reserved
by each road.
