FIRE RAGING IN EHRHARDT.
Flames Originating in Hacker Lum'
her Plant Threaten Entire Ttown.

Ehrhardt. March 9.-Flre origin
ating late tonight in the lumber
sheds of the Hacker Manufacturing
Company, on the outskirts OF the
town, destroyed the entire plant,
with the exception of the saw mill,
and spreading consumed number OF
freight cars on the track of the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad, the plant
of the Carolina Gin Company, togeth-
er with a number of sheds filled with
seed and hulls and number OF Dales
of cotton on the Atlantic Coast Line
platform. At 2 o'clock strong
northeast wind is blowing and II IL
continues from this direction there IS
a chance that the limit of the damage
has been reached. However, should
the wind shift to the east or south
east there will be little chance for
the town, as most of the houses are
frame buildings and right in line Tor
the flames. A wide street is now the
salvation of both the residence and
business portions of the town.
1t is not known how the flames
originated, but the fire was discover
ed in the Hacker Lumber Company
plant, and it's progress could not be
STAYED by the unorganized bucket
brigade. The plant is owned by a
Charleston firm, and is thought to be
valued at about $4,000. The loss
to the Carolina Gin Company is prob
ably $4,000. The Offices, lumber
sheds all the dry kilns of the Hacker
plant have been completely Destroy
ed; there is yet chance to save the
saw mill.
Engineer Miller, of thes Atlantic
Coast Line, has just made most dar-
ing run with his engine into the sid
ing and saved six or eight freight
cars loaded with merchandise. The
Atlantic Coast Line platforms, to-
sether with a number of bales OF
cotton, were burned, but the station
is safe thus far.
At little after 2 o'clock there ap-
pears to be a probability that the
flames can be confined to the build

True Bills in Hawkins Case.

Hendersonville, n. c., March s.
Sensation reigned here tonight when
the Hendersonville grand jury, after
investigating for three days the mys-
terious death of Myrtle Hawkins,
whose body was found in Lake Os-
ceola, two miles from here, Septem-
Der 10, three days after her disap-
pearance from home, returned true
bills against four men and one wo-
man who were arrested tonight
shortly after the report of the grand
jury
George Bradley, former sweetheart
of Myrtle Hawkins, is being held as a
principal, his brother, Bonney Brad
ley, is charged with accessory to mur-
der before the fact, and Dan w. Nc
Call is charged with being an acces-
sorry after the fact. Abner Mccall
and his wife, Beatrice, the latter a
daughter of Dan Mccall, are being
held as principals also. The cases
will be tried at the May term. The
principals, it is said, will not be ad-
mitted to bail The prisoners are sep
arated.
The case of Myrtle Hawkins, whose
body was found floating in the edge
of Lake Osceola, Hendersonville, Sep
tember 10, aroused intense interest
in North and South Carolina. Foul
play was suspected and the coroner's
jury undertook thorough investiga-
ton. Rumors flew thick and fast,
but nothing seemed to come of the
inquest. When the grand jury met
at Hendersonville this week, the pub
lie prosecutor announced his inten-
ton of presenting the case to it for
action. The result was the finding
of true bills against five persons.
South Carolinians are especially
interestd in the case, as many of
them spend every summer in Hender-
sonville.

 After reading he call he an- nounced that a recess of 20 min utes would be taken to permit the district committee to arrange the roll call.
 After recess was declared Vim. O'COnnor announced that the ad- jOurnment was taken to pad the roll.

delegate as a proxy from Fair banks. He insisted that a tenn porary chairman should be elect ed by whosoever appeared as delegates.
 John Moe appealed from the decision of the chair and put the question of electing a chairman to the house, wherein the gallery voted in loud tone of voice.
 For a time pandemonium reigned supreme.
 The chair held that the secre- tary should call the roll. The mob then rushed the chair and the chair called for the United States marshal to preserve order. Then for the following 10 min- utes it was a rough house.
 Upon order being restored the chair ordered the roll to be call ed.
 John Moe again objected and did not propose to limit the vote to such names as might appear to the roll of credentials.
 Mr. Harrais asked Jennings what would happen if every dele gation was cOntested--who then would be allowed to vote? He asked that question, as contested

 Wm. O'Connor protested against such arbitrary action. He said the temporary roll was ma chine rule and undemocratic.
 Judge Cobb then nominated Edmund Smith, of Valdez, as temporary chairman. John Moe nominated Wm. O'Connor as temporary chairman.
 Martin Harrais rose to the point of order that an objection was made to the manner of pro- cedure. The chair held that the rule now obtaining was the one exercised by the national con- vention and preceding territor- ial Democratic conventions.
 MT. Daley arose to a question of personal privilege and object ed to the aspersions cast upon the district 'committeemen and himself in particular.
 Wm. O'Connor got up 10 speak. MT. Jennings arose to a point of order that O'COnnor was not vet a delegate in the convention.

 Jennings: No; cannot answer a theoretical question. You might ask me what would happen 1T there was a clash between the irrepressible and immovabie.
