But all were happy while looking at the pictures.
 For four shows in the afternoon, the kiddies were admitted without cost and conducted to seats in the front to see the pictures A special feature pie ture had been obtainer Mothers Boy from the Keystone komedy studios on the Pacific coast and the antics of the actors and actresses as they were chased by two real live bears up tele- graph poles along the telegraph wires and finally to fall in pile on the ground. were watched and laughed at with all the exhuberancc of childhood.

w. r. LYNCH HAS HEAVY LOSS.
Barn, COntents and Some Stock Lost
by Fire OF Unknown Origin.

The many friends OF w. r. Lynch,
both In Oconee and other sections OF
upper South Carolina, will regret to
learn that he suffered serious loss last
Wednesday morning by Are, at his
home near Poplar Springs.
About 8 o'clock Mr.. Lynch went
to his stable to get his mule to do
some work in the garden, and as he
got about half way from the stable
to the garden he heard a cracking
noise at the rear of the barn, and
this was followed by a deluge or
smoke. Turning the mule loose Mr..
Lynch ran to the stable, calling for
help, but the building was then
mass of flame, the fire having gotten
into the feed stuffs in the loft His
efforts were turned to the releasing
OF his stock consisting OF one horse
and one mule that were still in the
stalls, and several COWS and yearlings,
the latter being tied in their stalls.
While he was working with his knife
cutting the ropes that held the cat
tie sparks and streams OF blaze were
dropping from the Fodder and hay in
the loft, and this so frightened the
cattle and horse that they refused to
leave the building, though they had
been loosed and the doors thrown
opSb' INo SlIol lldJ MI. JJyuCH
could make would induce the panic
stricken horse and cattle to leave
their stalls and they were burned to
death. The mule, however, finally
maio a plunge out OF his stall, es-
Gaping with comparatively slight
burns on the back from the dropping
OF fire from the loft. Il 49,,
The barn itself was worth about
two hundred dollars and about 800
worth of feed was destroyed. Mr..
Lynch's total loss is something about
$500. He carried $3.50 insurance
with the Oconee Farmers Mutual In
surance Association
Mr.. Lynch Is one OF Oconee's sub
stantial farmers, being full of energy
and great worker. He is a self
made man, and the loss falls heavily
upon him. He will. however, in spite

kind to be discouraged. He has

who will learn of his misfortune with
deep regret.
