Holding the Forms.

The newspaper humorist went
courting. He stayed late, very late,
so late that the old man called down
to his daughter, "Phyllis, hasn't the
morning paper come yet?''
"No, sir answered the funny
man, I'VE are holding the forms for
an important decision
And the old man went back to bed
wondering if they would keep house
or live with him.-Boston Transcript.

The possibilities of the success OF
field day exercises in Bamberg coun-
ty was shown by the magnitude of
the Hampton county field day. 1t
is stated in the news dispatches that
there we're two thousand school chill
dren present, and that the total at
tendance was something like eight to
ten thousand. There is no reason
why field day exercises next year in
Bamberg should not be quite as sue
cessful. With the limited time in
which the Bamberg events were ad-
vertised and worked up in Bamberg
this year, the occasion exceeded the
expectations of a great many. We
have the assurance of those interest
ed in the field day exercises that next
year there will be an early start, and
that the people may expect the big
gest occasion ever held in Bamberg.

BIG FIRE AT LEXINGTON.
Damage Estimated Over 100000,
Insurance About $45,OOO.

Lexington, March 2S.-Fanned by
a stiff breeze blowing from the west,
fire swept over the principal business
section of Lexington early this morn
ing, leaving the heart of the busi-
ness district in ashes and inflicting
a loss estimated at more than $780,
600. The fire originated in the rear
of Taylor's drug store before mid
night. and when it was checked
shortly before daylight one block on
both sides of Main street were smoul-
dering embers. Lack of any fire pro-
lection left the people almost help
less, and only such help as could be
rendered by volunteer bucket bri-
gades were available Heroic work
was done by citizens carrying water
in buckets and other available We
hicles~
Only gaunt brick walls and smoul-
dering embers this morning marked
what was until last night the main
business centre of Lexington. Sew
eral of the principal business houses
we're gutted, among them being the
Bank of Western Carolina and the
building occupied by the telephone
exchange. The burning of this build
ing cut off Lexington from wire COM
munication with the outside world,
and it was not until this morning
that a temporary exchange was es-
tablished and communication with
distant points resumed.
Editor Harmon's Loss.
Undaunted by their great loss the
people of Lexington set about this
morning taking stock and making
plans for rebuilding. While there
was some insurance several of the
business people are heavy hit, and
the insurance will not be anywhere
near what they lost in the fire. One
of\the heavy losers was G.. NJ. Har-
mon, owner and editor of the Lex
ington Dispatch, who lost his build
ing and entire plant in the flames.
He carried only a small amount of
insurance, but he plans to rebuild
Immediately. Mr.. Harmon is one of
the oldest newspaper men in the
State, but his spirit of not wasting
one minute in rebuilding is typical
of that of Lexington. There was
much sympathy expressed for all of
those who suffered in the fire. Sen
ator John L. McLaurin came over
this morning from Columbia, and
when he saw the total loss Of the
Lexington Dispatch Immediately
handed Mr.. Harmon a check for $50.
Telephone and electric wires were
burned and several telephone and
electric light poles. The heat from
the burning buildings was SO great
that several parts of the sidewalk
"buckled' and were much damaged.
Yeomanry work in fighting the
flames was done by Frank w. Shealy,
railroad commissioner, and c. l..
Shealy, clerk of court, and they re-
NAMED on the job all night and all
dav TODAY attending to the every
want and doing their part in check
ing up the loss and assisting in the
work of getting started over again.
They were exceedingly accommodate

The two-Quarts-per-mOn law
doesn't seem to suit anybody. This
law was enacted by the last legisla-
ture. and it is now in the hands OF
the governor. Whether he will sign
the measure or not, he has not indi-
Gated, but it is pretty certain that he
is giving the matter careful consider
alton. The measure will become law,
if it is approved by the governor. 20
days after he attaches his signature.
The measure has recently been widely
discussed by the newspapers. The
following from the News and Courier
may throw some light on why the
governor has not yet signed the bill:
Although the Greenwood Journal
and the Spartanburg Journal, both Of
which are strong for prohibition,
have been insisting that Governor
Manning hurry up and sign the two
quart bill, the Manning Herald, which
is edited by Mr.. J. K. Breedin, the Of
fcial spokesman for the prohibition
movement in last years campaign,
denounces the new law as "a travesty
on the cause of temperance" The
Herald is especially indignant that
the legislature should have allowed
sixty pints of beer month to be i'm
ported and asserts that this is a de-
fiance of the spirit of prohibition.
But it also brings another count

business every drug store in the
State"
The bill, then, satisfies nobody who

NAILS THIS COWS DIET.
Butcher Makes Unusual Discovery at
St. Matthews.

ST. Matthews, April 2.-This is no
April fool 1t is a fact: 4 reliable
merchant sold a COW to a reliable
market man yesterday. The market
man killed the COW for beef, and
when he had severed the body, he
found that there was nearly quart
of nails in the cows stomach, rang
ing in size from the smallest to the
ten-penny. The COW had never
shown any signs of indisposition and
seemed to be in the thriftiest condi-
ton on this staple article of diet.

Warehouse Commissioner John l..
McLaurin has urged the governor to
call an extra session of the legisla-
ture to consider the fire insurance
situation in South Carolina. 1t costs,
we believe, some $4,000 or more to
hold an extra session Of the legisla-
ture, and we suspect that the COVER
nor will think long time upon the
matter before he will order it. A
special session was held in 1914. and
if any good ever came Of it we have
yet to hear about it.

ANOTHER PLEA FOR HARMONY

Elsewhere in this issue appears another plea for harmony in reference to that halibut bill. The writer points out our duty provided we wish to work for the best interest of all and brings out facts that are impossible of refutation or even contradiction.
 It is true that there is hardly any opposition to the bill now, due to the campaign of publicity given it of late Nevertheless, the former bitter opposition has done it's work and until that work is corrected by counter-action on the part of the former opponents, it will be hard to obtain re- lief Yet it can be done; and all it requires is a little good will harnessed to desire to correct a wrong and letter to the delegate.
