Cotton Damaged by Fire.

About five o'clock Friday morning
fire was discovered among the bales
of cotton on the cotton platform at
the station and it had evidently been
burning some time before it was dis
covered. The alarm was given at
once and large number of people
gathered to offer assistance in ex-
tinguishing the flames. Soon after
the alarm was sounded Mr.. T. A.
Hightower arrived with his hose and
fire company and very soon they had
a large stream of water playing upon
the flames. Had it not been for Mr..
Hightower and his men the damage
would doubtless have been nearly ten
fold greater. About sixty balesN of
cotton were damaged, about thirty
bales being nearly total loss. The
damaged bales will be shipped to
Augusta to be picked and repacked
before being placed on the market.
1t is not known how the fire origina-
ted, but presumably from a cigar or
cigarette as it burner first near the
platform.

FIELD THEATRE.
MIR. Richard Pearson Hobsops 5
Masterpiece Will be Pro-
duced Here for One
Performance Only

"The Law of Nature" will come
to the Edgefeld Theatre for one per-
formance, October 81. The story of
this production was written by Rich
ard Pearson Hobson, eX-Congress-
man of the State of Alabama, and
has been pronounced by some of the
greatest critics as being far superior
to any story that was ever told upon
the screen. This production carries
its own special score of music and
special soloist, including the Ram
sew Quartette, where solos are intro
duced during the action of the pic
.ture. This picture recently had run
at the Schubert Belasco Theatre,
Washington, D. C. and broke all
house records for a photo drama.

der the age of fifteen is done SO at

win K. Fox, who has the state right

successful in securing this picture
for thirteen Southern States. The
story deals with an artist model who
has developed ir', real vampire
and entices the leading male charac-
ter, Mr.. Vincent Coleman, to taste
his first drop of wine. There are
many thrilling scenes and situations
throughout the above attraction. Mr..
Edward Baldwin who is the added at
traction with "The Law of Nature"
is widely known as being high class
entertainer by the majority of the
patrons of the leading theatres
throughout the United States, where
this production has been shown. Mr..
Baldwin, billed as the worlds great

lectured upon at this performance
so as to give you the story in detail

Indians held at the Fond du Lac

called after James l. Cotfey had

at which time he took occasion to
indulge in his-usual line Of 'nfa1n'

that he had convinced sufficient

men Of his following to the offices
of the local council Of said Band.
Accordingly he sent or caused to

Viscount Grey, British ambassador to
the United States, and his secretary, Sr
William Tyrell, were distinguished visitors
IN Wilmington last Sunday. They came
here very quietly from Washington as the
guests Of former United States Senator
Willard Salisbury, and although the
greatest secrecy has been maintained In
regard To the visit, it was stated that
their coming was purely personal.
The ambassador is about to leave the
States and for some time report has had
it that he WAS to leave for good President
Wilson's illness has prevented him from
ever receiving the British diplomats
credentials and thus formally admitting
him TO the capitals diplomatic corps.
This unforeseen development, 1t IS under
stood, has more or less embarrassed
Viscount Grey personally and created q
situation unprecedented, so 1t Is said,
N England's diplomatic history.
These considerations gave rise to
rumor widely circulated that the am
hassador has asked this governments
permission TO return to London until
after President Wilson's health viii

the White House and establish him in his
official position in Washington. What
has been considered the most likely
