NEGRO SCHOOL LOSES
LARGEST DORMITORY
Flames Destroy Part OF Brainerd
Institute at Chester-Is Cow
cred by Insurance.

Chester Special to Columbia State,
Jan. 1S.-Brainerd Institute, one OF
the largest negro coeducational
schools I'm the Carolinas, suffered a
big loss here tonight at 1925 o'clock
when It's large dormitory, which was
used by the boys, was quickly burned
to the ground, entailing loss OF from
$4,000 to $4,000. Vt was impossi-
BILE to estimate the loss accurately
mately embraced by the foregoing
figures. The loss is covered by in.
SuranCe.
The conflagration had it's incep-
tion from a defective stove fue on
the fourth floor. With the majority
Of the people of the city at church
the city was startled a little after 8
o'clock by Witnessing the most spec
tacular fire in Chester's history. The
T big building is situated on a lofty
hill in an eastern suburb of Chester
and towers up four floors to an alti-
tude of almost 100 feet.
The blaze speedily spread over the
entire roof and gradually ate 1t down
to the bottom, permitting the large
number OF students ample time to get
out their trunks. Much furniture
was lost. Different from the other
buildings OF the school, this struc-
ture, which was one OF the first to be
erected, was heated by individual
fires In each room. The institutions
fine Industrial department was in
this building and was ruined.
: The Stonewall fire department
worked faithfully but was unable to
, stop the flames at the dormitory. The
building being on such a high hill the
water pressure failed to respond as
we'll as the department would have
like to have had 1t. BY much ener-
getic work the fire was kept from
spreading to the other buildings OF
the school and surrounding resi-
dences.
j. S. Marquis, president OF the
school, when seen tonight said that
the school would use some of the
other buildings for the boys and that
there would be no interruption in the
work. He said that he was thankful
that the fire had not come late in the
night when unquestionably many
lives would have been lost.

PREPARED TO DIE,
| CREW IS RESCUED
Thirteen Men Leave Their
Sinking Ship.
AT MERCY OF THE SEA.
The Marina Sees Lights of Distress
and Comes to the Aid of
the Helpless.

baltimore, Jan. 18.-Rescued from
their ice-coated, sinking shin after
'hey mad given up all hope, the 13
members of the crew of the five mas
ted schooner Fuller Palmer this
morning arrived in Baltimore aboard
the Donaldson line steamer Marina
The rescue was made by the Marina
early Thursday morning, 156 miles
southeast of Cape Cod.
Since Monday morning. when the
schooner began to leak, the crew had
fought to keep her aioat. With sails
whipped into shread by the wind and
ilsslhS broken and so coated with
ice IhaL IL could not be handled, the
ruler Palmer practically had drifted
at the mercy of raging seas.
On Wednesday night with all hone
OF making port gone and fearful that
thelr vessel would sink at any minute
dlStresS signals were sent out.
FROM points on the masts red lights
were placed so that some ship might
see them and come to their rescue,
small boats and life RATS had been
crushed by the waves, while most of
the woodwork on the upper decks
mad been smashed. There was no
way the crew could leave the doomed
vessel.
With all chance apparently gone.
the men huddled together in the fore
castle, but up on the bridge Capt.
Clark still maintained a watch. Short
ly before O'Clock Thursday morn
ing rocket shot up some miles away
showing that at last the signals had
been noticed. Until daylight the
Marina stood by and when the seas
mad somewhat moderated several
boats were lowered and the crew TAX
en- aboard.
So low was the Palmer in the water
that no time was given the men to
collect any OF their belongings. With
only the clothes they had on they
were taken from the vessel. The
transfer was made without accident.

count on the good roads advocates
for support.

posed to prostitute and defeat the
operation OF the civil service law at

tending its functions, and when the
merit system should be carefully
guarded"
