Honea Path early this morning to
the extent of approximately $50. 900,
fully covered by insurance.
'Possum hunters near the mill dis
covered the flames soon after the
night watchmanh had made his rounds.
The alarm was sounded and the mill
fire department responded and did
effective work, The warehouse was
equipped with automatic sprinklers,
and the sprinkling system held the
flames in check until the roof of the
warehouse fell in. The falling roof
broke the line of pipes and the fire
soon got from under control. The
mill pumps poured more than one
million gallons of water into the
burning compartment and this, with
the aid of fire walls, prevented the
flames from spreadinginto adjoining
compartments where more than 5000
bales of cotton were stored.
President Hammett stated that the
cotton damaged was valued at $780,
900, but estimated salvage will
amount to one.half the value. The
loss of the warehouse and cost Of
extinguishing the flames was $751;
600. The fire caused q part of the
mills to be closed for the day. The
cotton burned was of the best grade
and will be hard to replace.

MOTHER AND SIX
CHILDREN PERISH
FLAMES CAUSE HORRIBLE CHRIST,
MAS EVE TRAGEDY FEW MILES
FROM GREENWOOD.

Greenwood, December 25:-Mrs
] Lambert Whitman and her six
children, aged from three to thirteen
years, were burned to death last
night at midnight in their country
home four miles west of Greenwood.
This horrible tragedy on Christmas
brought to Greenwood sadness
T that was everywhere noted.
Mrs Whitman and her six children
had presumably made their prepara-
tions for Christmas, and the father
was in town. A neighbor, Mr. j H
Davis, one of the cotton weighers
here, was late getting home, and
had just arrived in his yard when he
saw the fire. Hastily putting his
horse back in harness, he rushed
down the road to the house. AL
though the building was blazing
from every side, he could still hear
the cries of the unfortunates inside.
Wrapping his laprobe about him, he
attempted to enter time and again,
but was driven back by the flames.
The cries increased. and this morn
ing all that was left of seven beings
of the day before was a charred
heap of bones.
The frame of the mother was
clearly. apparent, lying across a bed,
where she had possibly tried to
rescue some of the children and had
fallen, overcome by smoke.
The charred remains have been
brought here and are in the R W
Blythe undertaking establishment.
Tomorrow they will be started to
Due West in a single coffin and
buried that way at the former home
of the mother. The oldest child, a
young boy, was away from home
on q visit. He and the father sur
vive out of family of nine. The
house was known as the Ryckard
place, just beyond Salak, and was
one of the landmarks of that section
of the country, where Mr. Whitman
had lived only one year, working a
crop on the place this year.

must be crystallized and the several
legislative delegations informed of
the wishes of their constituents.
Unless a meeting such as was
held last Friday had been called it IS
probable that the whole project
would have reached no crisis by the
the date of meeting of the Legisla-
ture and would have failed of ac-
complishment, for the coming year
at least.
The meeting in FLORENCE last Fri
day was presided over by Mr. A V
Smell, of Charleston, and the whole
matter was thoroughly ventilated.
On motion of Mr. Wilson G Harvey,
q committee of one member from
each county represented was ap-
pointed to take the whole situation
under consideration and to report
back to the meeting plans and poll
cies for their adoption. A recess
was taken while this committee held
spirited session, threshing out To-
cal differences and difficulties. un-
tangling knots and overcoming real
or fancied obstacles.
When the meeting reconvened
Chairman Harvey submitted the fol-
lowing recommendation made by
the committee, which was adopted
unanimously:
Resolved that Senator Huger
Sinkler, of Charleston. be requested
to prepare the necessary legislation
looking to the formation of COM
mission, to be known as the Santee
river bridge commission, which COM
mission shall be intrusted with such
duties and responsibilities and pow
ers essential to cooperating with the
State Highway commission and to
aid in the construction of the bridges
spanning the Santee river.
Resolved that a committee of
three representatives from each
county be appointed, which commit
tee shall be charged with stimulat-
ing public sentiment in favor of the
construction of the Santee river
bridges and to devise means for the
raising of the quota 70 be furnish
ed by the county to the bridge fund.
This committee to take the matter
up with the county legislative dele
CATION so that they will be apprais-
ed of the wishes cf their constitu-
ents in the matter of the building
of the bridges.
Resolved that this gathering of
representatives of the counties in
the eastern section of South Caro-
lima give their approval to the pro-
posed spanning of the Pee Dee river
by the construction Of bridge un-
der the direction of the State High
way Commission. with the aid of the
counties directly and indirectly in
terested, and pledge their support
to such a project when feasible

TO BRIDGE THE
SANTEE RIVER.
n(PORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY
CONFERENCE HELD AT FLOR
ENCE LAST FRIDAY.

The meeting of the representa-
tives from the several counties abut-
ting on or adjacent to the Santee
river, called at the instance of the
Charleston Chamber of Commerce to
meet in Florence last Friday. result
ed in steps being formulated max
ing practical the carrying out of the
recent recommendation of the State
Highway Commission that two
bridges be built spanning the San
&tee river. A meeting was held
about a month ago in Columbia at
which the claims of several sites
along the Santee river were put
forth. Advocates of each section
recited the advantages to accrue
from that site, the State Highway
Commission giving due weight to
the arguments presented.
Mazyck Ferry. near Mcclellan
vile, Lenud's Ferry. near the Sea-
board Air Line crossing, Murray's
Landing, near the crossing of the
Atlantic Coast Line. and Pinckney's
Landing. near Parlers, or St Paul's.
in OranGeburg county, were all
forcibly presented. The commission
after due deliberation announced its
recommendation that steps be taken
to build two bridges, one at LenCd's S
and the other at Pinckney's Land
ing. There was no doubt as the de-
sirablity of Murray's Landing site
both as to convenience and central
location, but the swampy approaches
and span of the river bed, etc, en-
tailed an expense which was almost
prohibitive, the cost of the bridge
at Murray's Landing being almost
as much as the combined expense of
the bridge at Lenud's and Pinck-
ney's Landing.
The work Of the State Highway
Commission for the time at least
ceased when it made its recommend
alton and gave out the facts ard
figures regarding the distances and
expenses Of the several sites. 1t
was therefore up to some agency to
get the several counties to cooper
ate in some way to realize the f.
nances necessary to build the two
bridges and it was for this purpose
that the Charleston Chamber of
Commerce called together repre-
sentatives of the several counties.
Time is quite a factor just now as
legislation will be required by the
State Legislature when it meets
next month, and before this legisla-
ton is proposed local sentiment

REGENERATION
 ENDS IN COURT

August Thorne was bitterly con- demned by Hilda Raught yesterday when she was taken into custody on the complaint of Thorne, who charged her with assault. Mrs Raught. who has rooming house on South Second avenue, claims that Thorne came to her place several months ago. She said he was an invalid and that she gave him his room and board for the trifling bit of work he did about the hotel. Re gently he has spoken of wages, but she has found it impossible to consider his proposition. She heard from friends that Thorne was discussing her in an uncomplimentary manner and ques- tioned him about it yesterday. Thorne contends that she hit him with a hatchet and while she is alleged to have admitted to the officials she had a hatchet in her hand, she says she only slapped him. Her preliminary hearing will be held at 10 o'clock Wed = nesday morning in Justice De Souza' 8 court,
