1t is said that the first sawmill in

Why the Youths Companion Should
BE in Every Home.

If 1 could take only one paper"
said the late Mr.. Justice Brewer of
the Supreme Court, lit would be The
Youths Companion--a little Of every
thing in a nutshell, and unbiased"
The Companion is a family paper in
the completest sense. 1t provides
reading that, without failing to inter-
est the young, still interests the ma
ture. 1t unites young and old through
their common enjoyment of delightful
fiction agreeable miscellany and the
clear exposition of public questions.
SO carefully is it edited, SO varied
are its contents, that 1T would easily
supply family with entertaining
fiction, up-to-date information and
wholesome fun, if no other periodical
entered the house.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is today, let us send
you sample copies and the Forecast
for 1915. ..
New subscribers who send $500 for
the fifty-two issues of 1915 will re-

TurpiniG.

"Iurpinite' is beginning to figure in
the war news. There have been latter
ly many reports Of this new and dead
ly substance the secret of which is said
to have been discovered by some ge-
MUS in France who communicated it to
his government. According to rumor.
the turpinite guns are doing terrible
execution on the battlefield and whole
companies of Germans are being wip-
ed out instantaneOusfy and painlessly
and with never u scratch on their
bodies. Some believe the stories and
some do not. They belong to that
class Of news which the old fashioned
newspapers used to head important,
if true"
Turpinite and the turpinite gun. be
they fable or fact, are shrOuded in
mystery. Turpinitc is said to produce
gas which causes immediate paraly-
Sis followed quickly by death, and the
turpinitc guns are said to fire shells;
which burst and diffuse this deadly gas
among the ranks Of the enemy. Dead
ly as 1t is. it is said to be the most
humane Of all the instruments of war,
since the death which it spreads
broadcast is an absolutely painless
death. British correspondents at the
battle of the Marnc have told of Ions
lines of dead German soldiers, stand
ing rigid and erect in the trenches
their rifles still in their hands and
their faces rs calm and composed as
they were in life.
1t is one of the penalties Of the CEN
sorship that the world must wait n
while longer before it knows The truth
about these and many other wondcy-
ful stories of the war. The more eau

LUMBER PLANT BURNED.
BIG FIRE IN SOUTIIEASTERN
PART OF TOWN THIS MORN.
ING.
Buii''ings and Machinery Belonging To
United Trust Company of Lynch.
burg, Va, Destroyed with Large
Amount of Lumber Belonging to
WithcrspOOn Bros.

The plant of the old Sumter Lum-
Der Company. which has been sh At
down for several years, was practi-
cally destroyed by fire this morning
together with several thousand feet
OF lumber belonging to Witherspoon
Bros. The total loss is estimated at
between $1,000 and $4,000 with some
insurance.
The plant, which consisted of sew
eral long sheds covered with CORFU
gated iron sheeting, was the property
OF the United Trust Company of
Lynchburg, Va. There was con-
siderable machinery i'm the plant, all
of which was destroyed. Much of the
machinery. however was in a bad
state of repair. 1t having been LETT
there for the last two or three years
INTENDED. Practically all of the plant
except the office and the engine house
was burned to the ground. There has
been considerable litigation concern
ing the plant. apd the present owners
are said to be as stated above, they
having secured it on mortgage.
Whether they had any insurance on it
or not Is not yet known here Their
loss will probably be between $4,000
and $4,000.
Witherspoon Bros had several thou
sand feet Of lumber under the sheds
and all of this except small pile was
burned. Mr.. L. l.. Witherspoon stat.
ed today that while he did not know
accurately how much lumber was in
the pile, he estimated that they would
lose about S1.500 worth of lumber
with $1,000 insurance.
The fire started after o'clock, at
which time the night watchman left
the place. 1t was first discovered
shortly after o'clock the alarm being
sent in at S.35. At this time the fire
had already spread to nearly all of
department had a hard time fighting
the blaze, as 1t was fearfully hot.
When the iron roofs gave In and fell,
1t made the attack upon the fire still
more difficult. A box car full of lum-
ber on a spur track in the yard was
practically destroyed before the fire in
1t was eXtinguished. Three negro
houses situated just across the street
from the plant were smoking, but
were soon rescued from the fire, after
several lines of hose had been attach
ed to the private hydrant in the lum-
ber plants yard. The lumber was
piled close together and the fremcn
found 1t difficult to cxtinguish the
blaze. which had gotten down under
the lumber near the bottom Of the
piles. Two piles which were not
caught were saved from the conna-
grafton.
