DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
VISITS ST. CHARLES
Three Stores, One Containing the
Postosiice. Fell Before Fury
Of Plamaa.


SUMTER. Jan. 19.-News reached
this city today OF The destruction by
fire at st. Charles eaclv this morning
OF three stores. one OF which housed
the United States postoffice; an emp
ty store room formerly occupied by
the Bank Of ST. Charles was also de-
stroyed by the flames. Efforts made
this afternoon to secure telephone
communication with parties living in
the town OF st. Charles were nef-
fectual and II ia thought that part
or the telephone system in the town
must have also been put out Of busi-
ness by the FIRE. However, II was
learned from parties living near st.
Charles that the stores Of M. II.
Mathis and r. e. Cooper (Mr. Cooper
having two etores) and vacant
building formerly occupied by the
bank were total loss. The mer-
chants above named saving only their
books and valuable papers. The
store Of Mr.. Mathis was partly oc-
cupied by the postoffice. Mr.. Mathis
and Mr. Cooper each carried stocks
OF about $4,000, with partial in
surance. The fire started in Mr..
Mathis' store about 4.3O o'clock this
morning. but It is not known how 1t
originated.

N0RTH DAKOTA MAN FIRM
IN BELlEF THAT ONE WILL
PAY HERE
TO COLUMBIA
MIR. Richards VIII Spend Some
Time in This Section Before
Returning Home.
(From Sunday Daily.)

Edward Fl. Richards OF Willow City,
n. d., who is spending some time in
Anderson In conference with local
business men with reference to the
advisability OF erecting a grain ele-
vator here. leaves this afternoon for
Columbia, where he will spend q short
while on business and in sightseeIng.
He will return to Anderson the latter
part Of the week for the purpose of
closing up few details with refer
ence to the elevator matter. after
which he will leave for his home and
begin preparations for moving to An
derson.
Yesterday Mr.. Richards. in company
with various business men, inspected
a number Of available sites about the
city for the elevator. He also secur-
cd large amount of data with ref
erence TO the cost of electric power,
freight rates on grain. the cost of la
Dor. etc.. all OF which will be of value
to him In perfecting his plans for the
elevator.
Mr.. Richards is extremely we'll
pleased with what he has seen Of An
derson. Before he taxes his depart
ure from here he intends making sew
eral trips into the country for the
purpose OF meeting farmers and con-
ferring with them in regard to the
grain situation. From data which he
has In hand. he Is satisfied that grain
elevator In Anderson would prove 9
paying proposition, that is, If the
| farmers continue to plant the amount
Of grain which they are said to have
| In the ground at present.
Within the next few days steps will
be taken toward securing papers OF
| incorporation for the proposed grain
| elevator company, after which. for.
nal contract will be drawn up and
| aligned with him and after which steps
will be taken looking toward the Sc
curing of the balance of the subscrip-
tions needed to capitalize the grain
elevator.
Mr.. Richards states that he will
bring his family here within some.
thing like Six or seven weeks after he
gets back to'his home city. which Is
on the Great Northern railroad and
within so miles of the Canadian bord'

DETERMINE TO BUILD
GRAIN ELEVATOR HERE

cussed with them the proposition n
very full and detailed manner. For
some two and half hours the mat
ter was discussed. Mr.. Richards has
had considerable experience with
grain elevators In North Dakota and
operates several plants OF, the kind at
the present. He came to Anderson
prepared to make any kind OF rea-
sonable deal looking to the erection OF
an elevator here, either by subscrib-
ing q portion OF the money necessary
to erect it, subscribing all the money
necessary or taking no stock in tine
enterprise but managing 1t for those
who did subscribe the necessary cap
ital.
Only Small Plant.
The conference with Mr.. Richards
developed the fact that the commit
tee had had entirely too large an ele-
previous plans. He stated that q
much smaller plant. one costing not
more than $4,000. woud answer all
local purposes for some time to go.
The only obstacle Mr.. Richards
saw in the way OF his coming here
was the lack Of sufficient grain In the
county 10 WARRANT lib removing mere
and putting his money into an eleva-
tor. He was assured by the commit
tee that there would be enough grain
produced in this county to make the
elevator proposition safe one.
When all these matters had been
threshed out to the satisfaction of both
members of the committee and Mr..
Richards, q tentative contract where
by Mr.. Richards will be employed to
take active. management Of the grain
elevator was drawn up. The COM
mittee then agreed that papers Of In
corporation would be applied for in
the next few days. the organization
perfected and the balance of the stock
needed 70 build the elevator sold.

Mr.. Richards stated yesterday that
he liked everything he had seen about
Anderson but the mud. He has rail-
froad transportation which is good
for 80 days, and states that he will
remain about here until he has seen
something Of the country. He con-
templates going to Columbia next
week for the Inauguration, visiting

BOYS INTERESTED
IN WIRELESS Work
Lecture On Marconi Is Well

In wireless telegraphy, as the result
Of the lecture last week OF George
B Kemp, on "Marconi the Man." This
lecture was delivered at the. Y. M. G.
A.. at which time the Beaver Boy
Scouts patrol had all the scouts of
the city as their guests.
Mr.. Kemp Is a broker, and large
stakeholder in the English Marconi
Wireless company. He . is very in.
terested In wireless biography. His
talk was for the purpose OF getting
the boys Of the local Y. NJ. c. A.
interested in 1t. He eventually ex-
poets to establish an aerial on top
Of the local Association building for
the benefit of boys who desire to learn
the code. He Is doing this on his
own initiative.
In his story Mr.. Kemp spoke OF the
East Side Y. NJ. c. A, of New York
City, its apparatus, and. how It re.
ceived messages from all parts Of the
world, including warships at sea. He
used thisSas an illustration Of what
Fairmont could do II 1t could give its
Y. NJ. c. A. n wireless outfit.
But the main theme OF the presenta.
ton was about the famous Marconi.
Mr.. Kemp told Of how sMarconi, born
in 1875, of poor parents, received the
wireless idea. How in 1896 he had
constructed antennae. which could
