FIRE VISITS TOWN
Maycsvillc Guard WOuse and Stables
Of j. B. Goldman Dcstroycd-Nc-
gro Prisoner Burned.

Mayesvflle, March 1.-Maycsville
was visited by another destructive and
what might have been a very serious
fire about l o'clock this morning. The
town guard house or Jail, a substan-
tial frame building, was completely
destroyed the fire starting in one of
the cells in which negro prisoner
had been placed OH Saturday night
for stealing a ride on the train. There
Is no doubt but that this negro set the
fire. He is pretty badly burned and
is in a serious condition this morn
ing. He is a strange negro in this
community from all accounts. The
town carried $500 insurance on the
Jail. Probably a modern, brick build
ing will be built at an early date.
From the Jail the flames spread to
the stables Of J. b. Goldman which
were destroyed. All of his feed was
saved but the stock was gotten out.
Next the blacksmith shop OF f. ].
Price was destroyed but he saved
nearly all Of his tools although los
ing quite lot of material. The shop
was the property Of Mrs. s. l.. Mayes
and was not insured. 1ssa b...
Had il not been for the little wind
hlaTing and The fact that there were,
no buildings near the jail in the di-
rection of the sparks, the fire might
have been a much more serious one.
This is the third destructive fire in
Mayesville since January %, besides
number Of small blazes.

Chamber OF Commerce Notes.

Sumter must positively have that
wheat grinding mill, and a plant for
grinding the coming big crop OF corn
into meal, and into feed stuffs for
hogs. chickens, cattle. etc.
With thousands Of hogs and chick
ems raised in the country districts,
and a city with hundreds OF profitable
vegetable gardens, and thousands of
chickens, with the farming districts
wheat, oats. and thousands Of tons Of
vegetables. II begins to look like q re-
turn Of permanent prosperity to Sum
ter county this spring and summer,
and ii looks like there will be "somo
money in circulation this summer to
spend With Sumter's merchants.
With the eradication OF the cattle
tick and the releasing Of Sumter
county from the quarantined zone
live stock raising has had fresh
start, and wherever an agricultural
section raises plenty OF live stock there
you find the prosperous farming sec
tions.
Live stock and poultry go hand in
hand with profitable farming. "Ev-
crbody is getting ready to live al

NEGROES LOCKEDUP
ON SERIOUS CHARGE
MOTHER OF YOUNG CoLORED
GIRL MAKES AFFIDAVIT
AGAINST BLACKS WHO WERE
PLACED IN COUNTY JAIL.

Serious charges were made against
two negroes named Nelson and Per-
due, by the mother of a 14-year-old
girl, early yesterday morning, and
the. mother has produced several wit
nesses who swear positively that the
charges were true in every particular.
The negroes were arrestd about 8
o'clock Saturday morning and locked
up at the city Jail. They were re-
fused bond, or at least the bond was
set at a figure which they were I'M
able to make, and at the hearing in
the recorders court, they were bound
over to the county authorities. Their
alleged offense is said to have been
of an unbailable nature, although
they did not try to get their release
when they were transferred to the
county Jail.
The girls mother was exceedingly
worked up over the case yesterday
and the evidence which was reported
had been adduced yesterday will
hold out the promise of a long time
in the convict camps for the prison
ers if sustained before a jury.

NEW INDUSTRIES
Of DIXIE LAND

Columbus, Ga, Oct. 16.-The In
dustrial Index says in it's issue for
this week:
"The southeast has swung into its
business stride and is happy on the
way. 1t is happy over the large and
increasing volume of present business
and over the substantial prospects of
continued improvement in the near
future. 1t is happy in the belief that
the coming year will bring it larger
measure of prosperity.
This belief is by no means founded
wholly upon what may occur in Eu-
rope or what may happen in other
parts of this country, even. The South
is finding itself.
"The good prices which are being
received for cotton are causing sell
ing generally, not only of cotton pro-
duced this year, but also of large
amounts held from last year. Cotton
is bringing millions of dollars into
the South, and because of changed
conditions, greater percentage of
cotton money will remain in the
South, to be spent and invested here,
than ever before. This is true be-
cause great quantities of corn and
other grain have been grown in the
South and more. live stock has been
raised than ever before in the history
of this section. The millions which
heretofore have been sent elsewhere
for these things will be kept at home.
"a total of thirty-seven new cor
porations were formed during the
week with minimum capital stocks
aggregating $4,000.
'rPinellas county, Florida, will vote
again upon $715,000 of road bonds, a
technical fault having prevented the
valuation of bonds in this sum voted
recently by the county. A district of
Lee county, Florida, will vote upon
! $325,000 of road bonds. Greenwood,
Miss, will vote upon paving bonds,
Eustis, Fla, voted 100000 of paving
and sewer bonds.

Ypres and Death.

In Holland and Flanders. according
to the Manchester Guardian, Ypres Is
connected In the mind Of the people
with the idea Of death. IL a Dutchman
or Fleming wishes to describe a par
ticularly l%ugubrious person hegH..n say,
Hi ziet er uit ais de dood van Yper-
en- Gle looks like the death Of
Ypres.} This expression has been pro-
verbal since Ypres was ravaged by the
plague In 1349; ..the death Of Ypres" is
a vivid expression like our 'black
DEATH But it is also taken literally,
for Ypres Is IN sober truth one Of the
dead cities Of Flanders. It is more dead
than aBruges la morte,n which owes
its reputation In this respect more to
George Rodenbach's novel and the rev
cries Of other artists than to actual
fact. ipres sleeps and Bruges slum-
bers,. says q Dutch writer OF travel
pictures.

feed upon the tender sumac, and even
tually the latter gives up the battle, and
its root system smothers to death. The
systems Of apparently every other
bush, small tree or brier excepting per
simmon and papaw succumb TO the
attack Of the goats, and in the course
of two years the entire field is reclaim
ed for agriculture.
There are other interesting things to
be learned from the owner of a flock
of Angoras besides their ability to clear
land. And 1t is evident that the bad
traits often ascribed to them have been
greatly exaggerated. IL a twenty-six
inch woven wire fence with three
barbs above It is used to incIose a flock
of goats they usually stay within It's
boundaries, q 7 only being necessary
to procure wire through which
the goats cannot get their heads and
horns. A four inch mesh Or less Will
prevent the goats from becoming fas-
tened in the fence.
