1t is generally rumored here and
around Georgetown that active work
will soon be begun towards the de-
velopment of Pawley's Island for a
seashore resort This island has long
been known and recognized as one
of the most desirable summer resorts
along the Southern coast, but owing
to its peculiar situation which will
necessitate the expenditure of large
sum of money in order to properly
facilitate transportation from George

oped.

can win the 500 player piano
without a single cent Of cost TO
you. It is. safe to say that 50
per cent of the residents of Pick
ems county do not apprecla e
what The Sentinel prize contest
really is. Truly, there has been
contests in this county before,
but nothing like this one. 1t IS
entirely different from any that
have been conducted in this part
of the state. Itdosen't cost any
thing to find out whether or not
YOU might be interested. In
fact, the people that allow this
great opportunity to pass are the
losers. The woman that allows
opportunities to so continually
by without investigating will
some day look back in sorrow.
There are many me womb n,
BOYS and girls in this county
who, if they would take advan-
tage of this great opportunity.
would have a good start in life,
both from a financial and social
standpoint. W h at do these
people need? The answer IS a
a simple one-ENTHUSIASM
Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is the greatest
business asset in the world. 1t
beats money, and power, and in
huence.
An enthusiast convinces and
dominates where wealth or even
a small army of unenthuslastlc
workers would scarcely raise a
5remor of interest.
Enthusiasm tramples over
prejudice and opposition, spurns
inaction, storms the citadel Of its
object, and like an avalanche
overwhelms all obstacles.
Enthusiasm is nothing more
or less than faith in action.
Faith and initiative, rightly COM
bined, remove mountainous bar
riers and achieve the unheard-of
and miraculous.

Thought to Have Been Due to
Throwing Down of Lighted
Match
LOSS ON FURNITURE is
ESTIMATED AT $500
Both the Loss on Building and
Furniture Covered by Insur-
ance-Prompt Work of Fire
men Saves Main House

The fire department was called OUT
at 1855 Wednesday morning, In re-
Spouse to an alarm from Box 81 at the
corner of Bridge and State streets,
and due to a fire In the dwelling
house of Max Slosberg at 70 Bridge
street. The exact cause of the fire is
not known, but 1t is thought that it
was due to the children throwing down
a lighted match in closet in the
kitchen where the fire started, when
they were in the act of lighting the
lamps to go upstairs to bed.
The fire was confined wholly to the
ell although the main part of the
house was damaged to considerable
extent by smoke The furniture in the
kitchen and dining room was COM
pletely destroyed, as was the bath
room fixtures, which Rim is directly
over the kitchen. While the damage
TO the ell, which WAS badly Quilted, is
not known. the loss on the furniture
and the bathroom fixtures is estimated
at about $500. covered by Insurance in
the Henry Heath Insurance agency.
The building was insured in the E. E.
Newbert agency.
Mrs. Slosberg was the first to discover
the fire. She was asleep at the time in
bed. being awakened by the smell of
smoke which almost suffoeated her. She
aroused her husband at once and then
proceeded to get the children out OF bed.
In the meantime Mr.. Slosberg started
for the Cushnoc hose house clad only in
his underclothes. He had proceeded but
a short distance when his son Benjamin
overlook him and ran to the hose house.

To the corner of Bridge and State streets
and pulled in the alarm.
Drivers Corbett and Currier Of
Hose and the Hook & Ladder
truck respectively. knowing where
the fire was before the alarm had
blown around the first time, were on the
scene at reeord-breaking time and soon
had a line of hose playing on the fire
and the contents of the large chemical
tank playing. When the department ar
rived the flames were bursting through
the roof
The ell was completely Quilted
and it was only because of the good
work of the fremen that the main part Of
the house was saved from at least par
tial destruction. Night Officer Arthur
McCausland had just passed the house on
his beat shortly before the fire broke out,
but saw no signs of a blaze. The about
sounded at 1.5o.

REGULAR DRILL OF
co. H, N. G. S. OF M.

The regular drill of Co. H was held
at the Armory Tuesday evening and
a large attendance reported. Nothing
special took place at this session eX-
cept the usual drill work which, per-
haps was a little harder than usual,
owing to the approaching muster,
which will take place Aug. 3 to 13
inclusive. The boys are working with
vim and a determination that the
other militias will have nothing on
Them" and from the showing which
they made at this meeting, we may
be assured that they have no cause
to fear such a result.
Capt. Murray commanded and put
the boys through some pretty stiff
work, but he is very anxious to put
up a good appearance at this muster
and the boys are of the same feeling
so the extra work was not at all be-
grudged. The new automatics for the
musicians and first sergeants have ar
rived and are of a great Improvement
over the old guns. which have been
in use up to this time. The Augusta
militia has been using these new au-
tomatoes for quite a while. and Co.
H. Is anxious to get supply of
them.
