FIRE MONDAY MORNING.
House Occupied by j. l.. Nunnamak-

Monday morning about o'clock
an alarm Of fire was sent in from
Wright street, where the residence Of
Mr.. j. l.. Nunnamaker was disc cover
ed to be on fire.
The hose wagons responded
promptly and the fire was extinguish-
ed after the roof and top part Of the
building had been burned off. The
damage was estimated at between
two and three hundred dollars.
While going to the fire one of the
black horses started bleeding at the
nose and had to be taken out of the

chinery to secre the money. AS one
banker remarked, This thing must
be done quickly for the pressure is
now."
Some three years ago when a sim
liar condition prevailed, only cotton
was then at IA cents, individuals
had not been able to effect loan.,
and bankers did not know what to
do. the County Union appointed a
committee to wait on the banks, and
we held joint meeting with the re-
suit that from that day we had the
cordial support Of our banks. Our
Union has tried to present only facts,
TO do SO In conservative way, to
point out to the banks our needs,
and ask them as our fiscal agents to
find the funds, for that is in their
line of business. And we have never
been disappointed in them. Almost
without exception our business men
are willing to make sacrifices by ex-
tending part Of their accounts be-
cause they know the profits from
higher prices will go into the chan
nels of trade, and public sentiment is
so strong that the exceptions are
ashamed to come into the open.
Now then, my friend, and any 9TH
er friends who are perplexed, do not
say II will join the Union if you will
do thus or So" 1t is not for us to
do anything for you more than to give
You my moral support and point the
way; this in itself is worth great
deal, especially when can, as in this
case. show you what the Union has
done and is doing in Sumter county
and in other counties where 1t has
gone to work in a business-like was.
But after all is said and done, It re-,
mains for you and your neighbors to
work out your own salvation. When
you have once gripped the idea the
progressive men Of your county will
soon have live local and county
Unions In every county In the State
that will be factors in the commercial
life Of their communities. and through
the State Union and its officers will
exercise wholesome influence on the
entire State.
1 thank you, Mr.. Bradley, and any
other editors, who will publish this
letter. for the opportunity to present
this particular phase Of the work to
your readers. And for myself and
all the officers Of the Union who have
the burden Of this work upon us, /
want to express my sincere apprecia-
tion Of the invaluable aid the press
OF the State has given to our cause
Do not grow weary in well-doing, for
like the poor, We will always be with
you. Respectfully,

COLD WEATHER AGAIN ON WAY

Washington, Nov. 5.-Pronounced
weather changes throughout the Uni
ted States are predicted by the wealth
er bureau in its forecast for the week,
issued tonight, which also announces
that Western Europe is in the grip
Of severe storm.
The severest storm of years over
Western Europe and the British
Isles," says the bulletin, was central
Sunday morning over Northern Scot
land, where the barometric pressure
was 2S.14 inches. 1t Is causing gales
and rains over waters adjacent to
Western Europe and will undoubted-
ly result in a considerable loss of lives
In shipping in that region. This
storm will move eastward over the
Northern Europe the first part Of
the coming week.
I'm the United States the coming
week will be one of pronounced
weather changes. Disturbances that
British Columbia will advance slow
ly eastward and be preceded by un-
settled weather, local rains and mild
temperatures, the first half Of the
week in the Middle West and the
Southern and Eastern States; rains
are also probable Monday and Tues
day in the North Pacific States.
'Following this disturbance the
pressure will rise rapidly and de-
| cidedly colder weather will over
spread the Northwestern States Tues
day and Wednesday and advance
| eastward over the Middle West We'd
| nesday and Thursday, and the East
ern States the latter part OF the week.
1t is probable that this cold change
will be attended by SHOWS in the
Northern States.

be vindicated and in future will be
more potent than ever. We are in
clined to bet on the beer keg, for what
would a Charleston political rally be
without beer? 1t is related by one
erstwhile Charleston politician
that in one of his campaigns he was
invited TO attend rally of his boost
ers and TO furnish the beer, as custo-
mary. Bowing to custom, he order
ed three kegs sent to the place desig-
mated. Some hours after the time
appointed for the rally he received a
telephone report from the leading
booster giving glowing account
OF the success Of the rally
and the enthusiasm Of the rail-
liers-also that the beer was
out. Bee coming infected with enthu-
siasm himself. he ordered three more
kegs Of beer and hastened to the
scene to help the boosters push along
the good work, expecting to find not
less than thirty or twenty-five true
and tried voters gathered around the
political altar. He arrived, but i'm
agine his feelings when he found his
Aldermanic adversary passing box of
Cremos with one hand. while with
the other he held aloft foaming
stein as he gave toast to the health
and happiness of the seven profess
sional boosters who were rallying
around the beer kegs. If Col. Grace
has banished the beer keg from the no
litical rally and kept 1t where 1t right
fully belongs-in the we'll established
blind tigers-he has worked wonders
for the 1urity Of Charleston politics
and has not interfered with the regu-
lar trade Of the retail tigers during
this long drawn-out campaign.

FIRE AT DALZELL.
Gin House Belonging to Bowman and
Moore Destroyed.

A hre originating about 10 o'clock
Saturday morning DESTROYED the gin
house belonging to Bowman and
Moore at Dalzell and caused a loss
OF several hundred dollars.
The fire was not discovered until
the roof of the building was ablaze
BY hard work the adjoining building
in which Mr.. r. L. Burkett had stor-
ed several tons Of cotton seed was
saved and the loss was confined to the
gin house and engine room. which
was adjoining the gin house. Five
bales Of cotton were destroyed in the
fire and other cotton was slightly
scorched on the outside although it
was removed far enough from the fire
to keep it from igniting.
The loss sustained by Bowman and
Moore; the owners Of the building
and the cotton which was burned
Will probably exceed the 2 thousand
dollar mark, especially as most of the
machinery for the ginnery was dam
aged to such an extent that it will
be useless in future. Tie persons to
lose by the fire are Messrs w. A. Bow.
man Of this city and Albert Moore
OF Dalzell. 1t is understood that the
building was insured, although the
insurance does not cover the loss.
Mr.. R. L. Burkett, who had his
store destroyed by fire, last spring.
came near losing $4,000 worth OF cot
ton seed which was in a cotton seed
house near the ginnery. However. all
OF those on the scene helped to carry
water and the fire was prevented from
spreading.
During the fire piece of timber to
which Mr.. s. F. Moore was holding.
gave way and he was precipitated
violently to the ground where his
head struck a piece Of iron, infiicting
severe but not serious wound.
