STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE
 OLD NEW YORK

NEW YORK. December 13.-The great fire hazard of high buildings annually costs the owners of such building in New York City millions of dollars in the way of extra insur- ance premiums for excessive height alone. The schedule of the New York Fire Insurance Exchange, ac
 cording to a study made by the Heights of Building commission, in
 dicate that these extra premiums amount to thousands of dollars in the case of certain buildings. For the Woolworth building they total more than $1O,O00 a year
 In the insurance of fireprOof mer- cantile buildings the height element is ignored until the ninth story is reached. The extra charge for height on q nine story building is one cent per one hundred dollars The charge increases rapidly from that story up- ward. For a ten story building if is two cents for q fifteen story building 22 cents. for a twenty-five story | building. = cents. surtax is inn posed in addition to these charges in the case of those buildings wheere merchandise is stored on or above the seventh floor Only sample stocks exempt a building from this charge. which is many times larger than the | extra charge for height and is In | tended to prevent the storing of mer- 1 chandise above the seventh floor. ] Fireproof office buildings of eight ! stories and under are free from any height charge. Above that height they are subject to one-fourth the height l charges Of fireproof mercantile build 1 ings
 To meet the difficulty of summon | ing patrolmen from fixed posts to 1 their stations quickly, Commissioner | Waldo has tested a new flashlight and telephone signal system that will | be put into operation soon in the 1 Twenty third precinct On ten street
 corners in that district iron posts will
 be erected, surmounted with green
 glass globes twelve inches in diameter | On each post is a telephone in direct connection with the station of the precinct. When the desk lieutenant in the station wants to communicate l with q patrolman on post he pushes
 a button and light flashes in the green globe and continues to flash at l intervals until the telephone is ans 1 wered. There are five lights for cacf 1 circuit, so that five men can bt 1 reached at the same time. If the l new system proves a success it vii i be installed in other precincts.

Yellow is much seen in these days Last spring yellow was first exten- sively used in lingerie. Ribbons of yellow were run into all sorts of underwear and negligees. Then vel low chiffon and crepe de chine were used for the making of rest robes and petticoats and chemises and night gowns. Yellow waists of chif- ion and crepe de chine were next Norn. And then evening frocks and afternoon frocks of yellow appeared There are even some yellow tweed street suits. Yellow is usually q Je- coming color if it is stilfulIy hand led. But there are not many skins that are improved by coming into direct contact with yellow. This fact is now understood by most dress makers In almost all of the gowns and blouses of yellow there is a gen erous use of cream OF white tulle at the throat. There is usually a touch of black somewhere on these yellow garments. A little black velvet at the wrist or elbow or belt. or a knot oc black in the drapery of the skirt. give character to the color that might otherwise seem monotonous
 Some of the new sweaters in An Gora and Shelton have collars and cuffs of fur. and some are edged about the bottom with fur. White is always a popular color. and some of the brilliant red yellow and purple shades are also much worn.

Millinery Openings.

The millinery opening here on
Tuesday and Wednesday by Messrs
S Marcus and J S Eron, the King
stree Dry Goods Co and the Ken
nedy Millinery Company marked
another pleasant as we'll as success
full event in the business history Of
these firms. From an artistic point
of view the displays were elaborate
and beautiful beyond description.
The predominating shapes in hats
are much smaller than those of last
season. The colors are varied while
the leading materials are of plush,
velvet and felt. Trimmings are not
so gorgeous as were in vogue year
ago, as there is scarcity of artificial
flowers and foliage. These are sup
planted by parti-colored ribbons snd
plumage, frequently set off by the
appearance of a butterfly or small
bird. which in many cases looks as
if the ornament were alive and had
lust alighted on the hat in its pass
ing flight.
The display of dress goods, en-
broideries and laces is especially
pretty and attractive and many new
materials and designs are to be seen.
The display of coats and coat
suits for ladies is what would seem
to US the perfection of the tailor's
skill. In coat suits the coats are
rather long behind and are some.

width to our masculine eye and we
can find no fault whatever with the
modest little side Sits at the ankle.

Kingstree and the community will
be able to find just what Dame

Dear Friends and Citizens of Will

will write few lines to The
County Record in reference to my
case held in the fall term of court.
feel that the way my friends stood
by me that | could not let it 60 and
not say anything about it.
Mr. friend, Mr. ID Gordon Baker,
was my attorney from Florence. He
having to make connection with the
train, was not able to get into court
until the case was about half over.
However, when Judge Sease said
that he would not wait on my attor-
ney, | am very glad to say that my
friend, Lawyer Edwin L Hirsch, al
though unprepared to enter into the
case, apparently without any fear of
the other side, took charge of the
case. have had a great number of
people to tell me that they never
saw case conducted so we'll before
in their lives. He plead earnestly.
He was with me at two o'clock in
the morning when the jurors had
not decided on the case. They went
into the room on Monday about 4
o'clock and stayed in until Tuesday
about 10 o'clock. | was very much
troubled; my wife and myself did
not sleep very much that night.
Mr. Hirsch called my wife over the
phone the next morning, saying.
Don't fear, will be with you and
do you all of the good that | can,
and he did. When | got down to the
court house the next morning he
was still there with his whole heart
in the case, and after the jury came
out and said that | was not guilty
went to Mr. Hirsch's office to settle
with him. asked him what | owed
him and with all the kindness that
he could speak of he said: Send
Mr. Baker his check and thank him
for what he has done" And then |
said, What do | owe you?' and
with kindness he said to me: My
friend, you do not owe me anything.
| am glaG that | can do you favor.
You haven't got any money that |
would have" God bless Mr. Hirsch!
| l can never hope to be able to do him
Just such a favor as this, but when
we say our evening prayers we will
ask our Father in heaven to bless
him and we believe that He will.
We also thank our other good
friends for what they did and their
kindness to me in my trouble, and |
also beg through this paper to thank
the court and jurors for the kind
consideration they gave to me when
| | was placed on trial in the court
house at the fall term of court on
the charge of breach of trust with
fraudulent intent, and of which
charge the jury has returned ver-
dict of not guilty.

Grand Jury Preseutment.

To the Hon I s Sease, Presiding
Judge at the fall term of the
court of sessions for Williams
burg county:
We thank you for your kind,
courteous treatment and plain ex-
planation of the law to US.
We, the grand jurors, beg to
make our final presentment for the
year. We have tried to perform
our duties faithfully and without
fear or favoritism. We are pleased
to report that our special committee
appointed to examine the books of
the various county officers find them
in excellent condition and correct in
every particular, as far as they could
see.
At the last term of court we
recommended that the board of
County Commissioners and the Sher-
iff make an investigation as to the
cost of building two additional steel
cells in our Jail. That committee
has reported that it will cost be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 to build
these cells. After discussing with
the Sheriff as to the present system
of water and sewer works now in
the Jail, it is anything but satisfac-
tory as it now stands. We there
fore recommend that the present
system be done away with and the
iail be connected with the city water
works both for water and sewerage,
and that this work be done at once
or as early as possible.
We further recommend that the
above referred to cells be put in
within the next twelve months. the
cells and the water works both not
to exceed the cost of two thousand
dollars.
After comforting with our county
officers we find that some of the
offices are being over-stocked with
old records to such an extent that
an extra building is needed for the
storing Of these old records. We
recommend that our county officers
have built fire proof building at
cost not to exceed $500, and We fur
ther recommend that little house
to be used as smoke house be built
in the Jail yard, the cost of which is
not to exceed $50.
There has been considerable COM
plaint to us of grievances by the
voters of the Hebron section as to
the way they were treated at the
recent election for and against in
toxicating liquors. We recommend
that this be investigated and re-
ported on at the next term of court.
We, the grand jurors, could not
pass without complimenting those in
charge of our court green as we
find it neatly kept and in condition
to be proud Of.
We regret to find that we have a
few murder cases at this term of
court but we feel that crime is on
the decrease aid pray that our
citizens, both white and black, will
do all they can to suppress crime.
Respectfully submitted,
