VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for the Tourist in This

at sunset, or better still by moonlight,
and you will fancy yourself trans

some extent, although there is never,

due to the fact that she is city builf

To explore Venice and to become In

luxury for sunset evenings and
moonlight nights. 1t is delightful ex-
perience, and not difficult one, to
find ones way about Venice on foot;
quaint old world corners are discover
ed, bits OF ancient architecture, carved
doorways and little bridges, with a
feast of color here, there and every
where. Apart from all the beauty of
scenery. there is the enthralling inter
est evoked by her history and tradi-
lions.
Among the traditions we read that
st. Theodore was the first patron saint
of Venice, to be superseded later on
by st. Mark. The wanderer in Ven
ice becomes familiar with the Lion

anywhere is it to be seen on one of the

STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations to Be Used to Make
Tempests Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers move usually In an
easterly or northeasterly direction.
Hence the prediction of storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible, since most
of them come from the Mississippi
valley. Some come up the coast from
the Caribbean sea, but even in this
case we have no warning
But western Europe is less fortu-
nate Its tempests come from the Az
lantic, and with little warming Euro
pean weather men have made as much
as possible study OF the paths of
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate In pre-.
dieting the time of their arrival; the
same has been done with storms com
ing up from the South Atlantic.
But it often happens that storms
vary either their route or the rate of
movement, SO that predicting cyclones
OH the coast of western Europe is
more or less guesswork.

sales warehouse. The flames had
made great headway when discover
ed and in a very few. minutes the
adjacent prizeries, the property of
Mr. J D King, were also consumed
by the flames. The origin of the
fire is unknown. There were about
forty thousand pounds of tobacco to-
tally lost in the fire, while the ware
house and prizeries had some insur-
ance. This is the second fire within
the last month originating in and
destroying two of the largest ware
houses in Lake City, and occurring
at the same hour and on the same
day of the week. This is very sin
gular land it is hoped that if this was
done in a spirit of malice or re-

Body of w D Watson Found In
Woods Near University Campus.

'Greenville, November 3e:-"No-
body did this but me-" scrawled on
the back of an envelope found in the
inside coat pocket on the body of W
D Watson, whose corpse was discov-
cred about 9 o'clock this morning in
q patch of woods, two miles from
Greenville, following his mysterious
disappearance from his room in one
of the Furman university dormito-
ries yesterday morning, tells the
tragic story of a student whose men
tai poise was toppled over from
brooding over what he had conceiv-
ed to be a rebellion against the voice
of God calling him to the ministry
in earlier life. In a fit of despond-
ency Mr. Watson had wandered off
to the spot, where he had often
studied Greek with classmate, and
drank of a deadly potion.
Following search lasting through
Friday and the greater part OF Fri
day night, one of the university
students came upon the PROSTATE
form cf the young man in patch of
woods on the Augusta road. The
alarm was sent in to the university
and Immediately the college bell was
set tolling, carrying the sad intelli-
gence to searching parties through
out the surrounding country that
the body of the missing man had
been found.
The Coroner, was notified of the
finding Of the body and, after max
ing an investigation, ordered the
corpse removed to an undertaking
establishment, where it was pre-
pared for shipment to the young
mans home in Horny county.

chapel this afternoon by President

Mr.. Fairy Goes to Waite rboro.

f, Rev William Arthur Fairy, who
for the past four years has been
pastor of the Kingstree Methodist
church, was appointed by the Annu-
al Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South. on Monday
last to the pastorate of the Walter
boro Methodist church. The ap-
pointment is very satisfactory to Mr.
Fairy since, according to the rules of
his church, he could remain in Kings
tree no longer, although his congre-
CATION and host of friends here give
him up reluctantly.
During his pastorate here Mr.
Fairy and his good wife have en-
deared themselves to the people Of
the community regardless of sect or
creed, and their prayers and best
wishes will follow them into their
new field of labor.
As pastor of the Methodist church
here Mr. Fairy has been an able and
efficient minister, and as striking
example of his untiring energy and
indefatigable will he leaves his con-
gregation with a handsome new
house of worship-the equal of any
in the Conference.
Mr. Fairy and his family will leave
Kingstree about Thursday of next
week for their new home.
Rev D A Phillips, who comes to
Kingstree III Mr. Fairy's stead, IS a
man of charming personality and an
able and earnest worker. He has
served some important charges in
the South Carolina Conference,
among them Manning and Winns-
boro, and comes to Kingstree from
Richburg, in Chester county. He
will not remove his family here till
after Christmas.

Winthrop College, Rock Hill, De-
cember 2:-We have an organiza-
ton at Winthrop known as the
Correspondence Club. The men,
bers of this club, one from each
county, are appointed by DR. John
son. 1t is the duty of each girl to
write from time to time to her
county paper for the purpose of
keeping the people interested in
what is happening at Winthrop.
As the student body has increased
so much in the last two years. it has
become necessary to enlarge the in
firmary and auditorium. This work
has been commenced and is rapidly
going forward.
It will be of interest to the people
of South Carolina to know that the
English grammar written by DR. Jas
Kinard, head of the department of
English, and Miss Withers, an in
structor in the training school, is
being used as textbook in Shang-
hi, China.
On next Wednesday, Knapp's
Agricultural day" will be observed
by most of the schools and colleges
in the State. We have arranged an
interesting programme, Mr. L A Nj
ven being the orator of the day. MIR
Niven was formerly agricultural
teacher here and we will be delight
ed to have him speak to us on that
day.
Misses Ada Brockington and Mary

will not come off" because they
have only two more weeks in the

had a pleasant time while teaching,
we believe they will be very glad to

Pee DEE FAIR ASS0CI-
ALTON ORGANIZED.
WILL BE UNDER THE AUSPICES
OF THE FLORENCE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE.

The meeting in the interest OF or
ganizing an agricultural fair for the
Pee Dee section took definite form
at the Chamber of Commerce last
night when the committee appointed
at a recent meeting to devise a plan
of Organization reported the result OF
its labor. This committee presented
the following resolution:
Resolved, that this committee of
citizens appointed to look into the
a3 sability and plans for the estab-
III. Aent of the Pee Dee Fair asso-
citation in Florence recommend that
the whole matter be turned oyer to
'she Chamber of Commerce to take
the effort in charge and make such
arrangements as it deems best to
raise the amount of $50, 900 for the
establishing of said fair association. J"
The committee took the position
that the Chamber of Commerce had
the organized machinery to take
hold of the effort and push it, and
for this reason should have charge
of the work. !
After some discussion the resolu-
ton was adopted and accepted by
the chamber. Following this COM
mittee of three was appointed to
make arrangements for the begin
ming of the active WORK. This COM
mittee was empowered to formulate
such plans as it deemed necessary to
carry the work along successfully.
The plan suggested comprehends
raising sum of $4,000 and the To-
cation of the fair in Florence, since
this city is the central pointof the
great Pee Dee section. Work in the
matter of stock solicitation will be-
gin in the next few days. and Flor
ence county will be thoroughly can
-assed before going into the other
counties of this section in the inter-
est of this splendid effort for giving
impetus to agricultural development.
The Daily Times will keep the pub
lie posted in the progress of the work
and believes that the Pee Dee section
will have the greatest district fair in
the State next year and that this
