FIRE IN JAIL YARD.
Fire Discovered Thursday Night I'm
Yard of Jail Burns up Pet Rabbits
ana Sitting Hen.

Thursday night about half past te 1
O'Clock a fire was discovered in a
small building in the Jail yard, which
was used as a rabbit and chicken
house, but as IL was discovered in
time 1t did not spread and only the
little house. three pet rabbits and an
old hen were burned In the blaze.
The fire Is supposed to have orig
mated from the carelessness Of some
person who went to the chicken house
with an intent to take away the little
chickens which were under the hea.
for when the fire was discovered and
extinguished, the remains of the hen
was plainly visible, but there was not
siga of the little chicks. 1t was
supposed that the person stealing the
chickens struck a match to see where
the chickens were and after he had
succeeded then carelessly threw it
down in the straw without first extin-
gushing 1t. the jailor having thereby
lost his chickens, chicken house and
his little boys pet rabbits. Another
reason advanced for setting fire to
the house Is that the thief thought
he could thereby hide his theft.

FIRE AT O'DONNELL g. COMPANY.
cred late Thursday Night by Mr..
iarvin.

Thursday night just before II
as he was passing the front Of the
building Mr.. Ben Harvin Of Harvin
discovered a fire in the grocery de-
partment of O'Donnell & Company
store on Main street.
He at once called the policeman
who was on that beat and the glass
door Of the establishment was brok-
en- in and the fire was soon extinguish-
ed with water from nearby faucet.
The fire did little damage except to
burn a small hole in the floor, burn
up barrel and almost burn up the
plow points in the barrel, at least this
was what one Of the clerks stated next
morning. when telling about the fire.
Although one of the gentlemen in
the dry goods department stated next
morning that the fire originated from
pile Of the over warm Tar Heel''
blankets kept by the establishment,
his statement was not generally re-
garded as a correct one. Several
hundred sacks OF potatoes had been
shipped into the building Thursday
and to keep them from freezing that
night big fire was left in the stove
when the store was closed at Z o'clock
in the evening. A couple of barrels
filled with plow points standing near
the stove became overheated by the
heat from the stove and burst iato a
flame which was discovered before it
had done much damage.
most peculiar thing about the
finding Of the fire was that Mr.. Ben
lIarvin. who first discovered it. had
just come from the Jail where in pass
ing he had discovered a previous fire.
Both were discovered by him before
they had had time to do much dam
age.
The hose wagons were called out
to the fire but did not have any work
to do after their arrival.

TWO SEPARATE MATTERS.

Governor Blease sent q special
message to the legislature criticis, ag
the condition Of the State house in
rather blunt and unexpected language
and dem anded that something be done
to remedy the conditions compla ned
Of. The legislature took him NJ his
word and appropriated $2,5OO for the
State house and grounds. thea along
comes Governor Bleace on his vetoing
rampage and Kills the appropriation
that he had demanded 50 pcrempto-
ruy. The governor must h1vs missed
his aim this time or had FORGOTTEN
that he had sent a special message
demanding money for State house i'm
provements."-Sumter Item.
In simple justice to Governor Blease
IL should be understood that his mes
sage referred to related to one mat
ter and the appropriation to quite an
other. The governor recommended a
change In the entrance to the capitol,
which would have required an appro-
priation, Of course. but Mo appropria-
tion for that purpose was made and
no action at all taken on the matter
In passing. IT may be emphasized that
the governors recommendations are
entirely proper and deserve to be car
ried out.
The appropriation which he vetoed
Is The usual appropriation for main
tanning the capitol grounds-not the
capitol itself-in condition, and is ex-
pended under the direction Of an un-
paid commission appointed by Cover
nor Ansel and consisting Of Messrs
A. f. Gonzales and Edward Ehrlich.
This commission could not be vetoed
out of office by disappearing the ap-
preparation for the salaries Of the
members, since they receive no pay
as salaries or per diem, but the COM
miGsion could be. and has been, prac-
tically abolished by vetoing the ap-
preparation for the care of the
grounds. Having no money to work
with. the commission has nothing to
do.
The commission has done most ex-
cellent work. as a glance at the capitol
grounds will show. Weeds may now
again reign where shrubs. flowers aad
grass have been cultivated for the last
four years.-Columbia Record.
