News rom Chicago that Senator War

temporary chairman OF the Republican
national convention. dispatches from
Washington that this Republican and
that Republican would do anything to
beat T. r.. and reports that Senator
t.lihu Root at "A secret conference had

fent--all these aiarums fell Off Col.
Roosevelt yesterday like water of n
ducks back.
They didn't seem to interest him. At
least that was the picture the Colonel
presented ~ he stood in the office Of
the metropolitan NaDdsine surrounded
by scores Of persons who wanted just
a word with him. and his friends said
that nc was Interested IN bigger things
such as the issue Of A~rhericanism.
To all political questions, whether
about Senate Harding or Scnator Root.
the Colonel had nothing to say. The
expression on his face when he VAS told
Of the reported meeting OF Messrs. Root,
i;utier, Wadswor'h, Wickcrshsin and
Stimson AT the Union League club the
night before was not full enough OF
.irprise to convince his l~nterviewers
tina, he didn't know all about that CON
ference and what II portended.
Whether or not the Colonel Is aware
NJ the significance of such a gathering.
II Is believed by those who have been
following his political fortunes closely
that any announcement hat Senator
Root would run for the Republican ON
nation Is made in an effort to put Justice
Hughes out Of the running. The Colo

Child Bitten by Mad Dog.

A mad dog ran amuck on the
streets of Kingstree Monday after.
noon and attacked Miss Margaret
Burgess, pretty little seven.year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs c c Bur-
CESS, tearing her clothing into
shreds and painfully if not serious
ly lacerating her person. DR. 7 S
Hemingway, uncle of the little girl.
Immediately telegraphed to Colum-
bia for the Pasteur treatment which
is being administered here. The
dog was killed and its head sent to
the State laboratory at Columbia for
examination. Tuesday afternoon in
formation was received from Colum-
bia stating that the brute was afflict-
ed with rabies. While the little girl
is in considerable pain, she is thought
by her physician to be getting along
well. The dog was apparently a
common hound and no one seems to
know to whom it belonged, 1t was
shot by Mr. T C Jacobs on East Main
street soon after biting the little
girl.

BIG BLAZE IN KINGSTREE.
Oil Storage House and Ginnery
Destroyed.

The largest fire that has occurred
in Kingstree for almost five years
broke out shortly before 10 o'clock
last night st the storage building
of the Gulf Oil Refining company. in
the northeastern part of the town.
Mr. S H DuBose, the delivery agent
for that corporation. was filling his
tank to serve customers this morn.
ing, when the building was accident.
ally ignited. An alarm was immedi.
ately turned in. and the fire depart.
ment responded with a will. but ow.
ing to the inf1ammable nature Of the
contents of the burning building, it
was possible only to save adjoining
property, in which good work was
done.
The fire presented sublime sight.
The black clouds of smo he and the
dazzling flames shooting 100 feet in
the air formed a lurid contrast. and
the boom of one explosion after an
other followed in quick succession.
The force of these explosions threw
the tops of the drums long distances
away. The fire was visible for miles
around.
The flames quickly spread to the
ginnery and office of the Southern
Cotton Oil company, and both build
ings were soon in ashes. The seed
house adjoining the old oil mill and
the residence of Mr. S G Anderson
took fire but were soon extinguish-
ed. The CIR R also sustained
slight damage to it's crossarms and
ties.
The oil company had on hand l2O
drums of gasoline and a considerable
quantity of kerosene. Of course its
loss is total. The cotton oil company
had just improved the ginnery at a
cost of 81, 100. We have not vet as
certained whether it was insured or
not.
To our valiant fire company and
excellent water supply is due the
fact that much valuable surround
ing property was saved.
The Southern Cotton Oil will i'm
mediately begin the erection 'of ar
up-to-date plant.

A cold wave struck this commun-
ity Sunday night. the mercury drop
ping to 80 degrees, doing considerable
damage to garden truck such as
was out of the ground, beans and
tomatoes apparently faring worse
than anything else. Many acres of
beans that were planted early for
marketing were completely killed.
In some sections of the county TO-
bacco plants that had been set out
were killed. Farmers had been
waiting for rain for some time and
that of Friday caused many hun
dreds of thousands of plants to be
put out only to be killed Sunday
and Monday nights.

cation that he has been promoted to
