Home of c. r. ManloVe, Near Middle
town, Destroyed Sunday Morning
One of the most exciting fires
Middletown has experienced in recent
years broke out there Sunday morning
shortly before o'clock in the home
of C. R. Manlove, situated on road
leading from Middletown to Odessa.
The building was constructed of brick
and for this reason the flames were
confined within. But the flames shot
through the roof 100 feet into the air,
and only quick work by the ire comp
any kept other structures from burn
ing. Because of the building being
some distance from the town, consider
able time was lost in running the
chemical engine to the scene. AS the
flames were confined to .he inside nf
the house the chemical engine was of
little value so all onlookers lent a
hand in removing the furniture.
Everything of any value except one
bed was saved. Only the brick walls
of the house were left. The origin of
the fire is unknown. Had it not been
that one member of the family, Davis
ManloVe, was very sick, every one in
the house might have been suffocated.
Mr.. Manlove. who was attending his
son, smelled smoke. When he went
to investigate he found the kitchen in
blaze. He aroused the rest of the
family, all getting out quickly.

NAY NEED SERVICES
OF NATIONAL GUARD
Washington Observers Think There is
at Least Possibility That Militia
Will Be Called ON for Duty on
Mexican Border.
P. H. MCGOWAN in State.

T. n. McGOWan IN STATE.
Washington, June 14.-For the first
time since international complications
with Mexico became acute, there is I
strong possibility Of the war depart
ment calling on the South Carolina
National Guard. Up to, day or two
ago when about 1900 additional men
were sent to the Mexican border to
strengthen the forces already there,
the war department apparently had
not carefully counted the number of
regulars remaining within available
distance of the seat of trouble, large
part of this force being now in the
Philippines, Panama and elsewhere.
When the department ordered ten
companies of coast artillery and 500
men from Washington barracks to get
under travelling orders Immediately 20
go to the border, that left but few
more regulars to be called upon. Then
the department realized that the next
step would be the National Guard
While department officials will not
say that real step in this direction
is being taken, it is known that be-
sides communicating with the author
tiles of the different States asking that
they get their men in good shape gen.
orally, figures have been submitted
showing just what proportion of the
National Guard could be depended
upon.
That some suitable mobilization
point may be picked in the South by
the war department for concentration
purposes soon is not doubted by those
here who know the situation.
Within weeks time the South
Carolina militia may be under orders.

s4s to CooDer and Manning"

Greenwood Index.
The Index is going to say its say
about these two briefly once more.
The two men stand on practically
the same platform so far as plat
forms go.
To show how the two men stood in
the preferences of the people in this
county in the first primary two years
ago it is only necessary to state the
vote. Gov. Manning recei7ed the sum
total of seventy-nine votes. Mr. Coop
er received fourteen hundred and six
ty-nine or approximately fifteen hum
dred. He almost carried the county
against the whole field
Gov, Manning will receive this year
more than the seventy-nine votes
which were given him two years ago,
but most of the votes given him will
be new ones. Mr.. Cooper as hereto
fore retains much of that popularity
which was his two years ago.
Mr. Cooper has excited no bitter
feeling anywhere. People believe he
will he fair and impartial in deeds as
well AS in words. For that reason in
this part of the country they are going
to vote for him for governor.
If now those great and good news
papers which are laboring for the re-
election of Gov. Manning will just
realize that there are some folks in
the State who intend to vote for Mr..
Cooper and that it is entirely unnec-
essary to use a curry-comb on their
spines in the one instance and then
soueal about unfairness and all that
sort of thing in another, we think the
whole situation would be greatly i'm
NDroved. Lets stop Misrepresentation
And buncombe. A vote is a vote and
the man who can get the most of them
is the man we must look to to turn
the trick.
