Damage BY Flames at Lancaster.

Lancaster, June 1.-Fire was dis
covered last night at 10 o'clock in
the seed house of the Lancaster Cot
ton Oil Company. The department
responded promptly, and in a short
while had the fire under control. The
fire originated in the tower OF the
conveyor shaft, at the extreme top of
the building. Two hours later the
alarm was again turned in and this
time 1T was found that the main
mill or the same company was a
mass OF flames. The tired nremen
were again on the scene, but the fire
had. gained too much headway. Dam
age to the building and machinery,
amounting to about $35, 900, was
inflicted. 1t is said that the loss Is
covered by insurance. The manage
ment will have the mill ready for the

ytven: Fulfilled, iuiciness, losing

the fifty-eight applicants only eight
spelled the ten little words correctly
one spelled only two. and two spell
ed only three, and the remaining
forty seven were scattered all along
the line. This is sufficient to prove,
without further argument, that we
would do we'll to study spelling, at

was done "in their day"
AS whole the examination was
considerably better than any we have
had In Oconee county in some time.
