Fire Destroys Buildings.

Two cottages in the southeastern
suburbs were entirely destroyed by
fire Saturday at noon. One of the cot
tages was owned by Mr.. w. j. Adams
and occupied by Auditor Allen. The
other cottage was owned by Mrs. Car
oline Virgins and occupied by Mr.. D.
NJ. McDuffie. Mr.. Adams had $1,000
insurance but Mrs. Virgins had no
insurance Mr.. Allen and Mr.. McDuf-
fie had no insurance on their furn-
iture. The fire originated in the kitch
en- of the cottage occupied by Audi
tor Allen and his mother. Mrs. AL
len went into the kitchen and found
the ceiling ablaze. The alarm was
given at once and the fire truck re-
sponded promptly, but the water pres
sure was low and the flremen could
not get the flames under control.
Mr.. and Mrs. McDuffie were out of
town and did not know their home
had been destroyed until they drove
up late Saturday afternoon.

LUMBER MILL SUFFERS HEAVY
LOSS
For Second Time Recently Flames do
Serious Damage to Plant of Bell
Company.

Marion, May 26-Marion suffered
another heavy fire Saturday, when
the principal mill of the Bell Lumber
Company, located in the eastern
suburbs of the town, was destroyed
by fire. 1t is not known how the
fire originated, but the entire mill
was burning in only a few minutes
after the fire was first noticed The
fire is still burning but il is thought
that the planning mill and most of The
lumber sheds will be saved. Owing
10 insufficient water, and to the ra-
pidity with which the fire burned, it
was impossible 10 save any part of
the saw mill.
This is the second heavy loss the
Bell Lumber Company has had by
fire recently, as their dry kilns and a
large amount of lumber was burned
about two months ago. 1t is unknown
at present what the amount Of loss
will be, or the amount of insurance.

METHODISTS RAISE BIG SUM.
Dillon and Little Rock Churches Dou-
BILE Quotas i'm Centenary Drive

The Dillon and Little Rock church.
es have gone far beyond their qoutas
in the Centenary Drive. The Dillon
Methodist church was asked to raise
$4,000 and the members gave $685.
.1S5. more than doubling their quota
The Little Rock church, which has
less than half the number of men,
bers of the Dillon church, raised $751;
900. The campaign opened on the
18th when two thirds of the amount
given by the Dillon Methodist church
was raised at the Sunday service. In
the view of the fact that the Metho-
dists have recently rebuilt their
church which was destroyed by fire,
entailing serious financial loss,
this handsome contribution to the
Centenary fund reflects much credit
on the church membership.

THE SEAPLANE NC.4
REACHES EUROPE
NAVY BLAZES WAY THROUGH
AIR TO EUROPE.
To America Belongs the Honor OIL
Making First Flight Across
the Atlantic.

k The United States has bridged the
Ehir across the Atlantic to Europe.
RThe seaplane NC-4 driven by Com
mander Read arrived at Lisbon, Por-
tugal, Tuesday afternoon. From the
Azores to Lisbon, distance of SOo
miles, was covered in 9 hours and 4S
minutes, an average of more than SO
miles an hour. The total flying time
from New Foundland to Lisbon was
26 hours and 40 minutes.
Blazing the way of the first trail
from the Western to the Eastern
Hemisphere, the United States navy
Cseaplane NC-4, under Lieut.. Comman-
der Albert Cushing Read, swept the
barbor at Lisbon, Portugal, today
the first airship of any kind to have
crossed the Atlantic ocean under It's
own power and through its natural
element.
80 Knots an Hour.
Taking the air at Ponta Delgada,

26 hours and Al minutes.
Great Object Attained.
At the first opportunity the big
plane will continue to Plymouth, IT'S
nautical miles to the north. Possibly
Commander Read can start tomor-

ever, it makes little difference when
HE completes the journey. The great
bject of all the efforts lavished on
&. undertaking, navigation OF sea-
82ne across the Atlantic through the
air has been accomplished. Twen-
tieth century transportation has
reached a new pinnacle and the Unit

BIG CROWD EXPECT
ED TOMORROW
Many Fine Young Horses Have Been
Entered for TOmorrOw's Races.

The officers OF the Dillon Matinee
Club under whose auspices the races
will be held on Friday, May goth,
are expecting an enormous crowd.
Reports from towns throughout the
Pee Dee sections and towns in North
Carolina indicate that the largest
crowd that ever attended horse race
at Dillon will be here on that date.
The officers of the Club further
state that some of the best horses
that have ever been in this section
are now in training here. The horses
that will race here, on the 30th are
practically young horses, with excel
lent breeding and their trials OF
speed have shown that the races will
be fast. There are no old broken
down race horses here as they were
a few years ago, and as professional
ism has been eliminated the public
may expect a good, clean race. No
time will be called from the judges
stand which would place record on
the horses, and a result of this a
genuine race is expected. There will
be three races of three heats each,
and in order to avoid any laying up or
fixing of races every heat will be
counted race and in order for a
horse to get a part of the purse he
will have to do his best every heat
The following horses have been
entered for the three races, and 9th
er entries are expected:

Another Wel.Known Dillon Boy
. Gives up His Life for Country.

Gary Mcmillan who lived at Lake
View before entering the army is re-
ported as among those killed in
France. His father, Mr.. Don McMil-
Ian, of Mullins, was notified by the
War Department few days ago. AL
though resident of Mullins Mr.. Nc
MILAN was living in Dillon when the
call was made and was inducted into
the army from this county. The morn
ing he left he was the jolliest one
among the several score being sent
to Camp Jackson. He joked with and
cheered the boys in the crowd who
had serious looks on their faces, tell
ing them they would soon get used
to trench life. He was of jovial
disposition and made friends by the
score wherever he went. The news of
his death will be received with sor-
row by his many friends in the
county.
The following account of his death
is published by the Mullins Enter
prise: May II. Mr.. Don w. Nc

The above cablegram received in
Mullins Saturday night by Mr.. ] M.
Mcmillan was the first intelligence
that the large family connection of
Mr.. Gary Mcmillan have had intima-
ting that the young man was wound
ed while with the American EXpedi-
tionary Force, or that he had been
in i'll health.
The message brought profound
grief to the relatives and cast a
gloom over the whole town, mas
much as deceased was so well known
here and held in high esteem by all.
The last week saw the return OF
large number of our boys 10 all
parts of the country from overseas,
and the communication, while Off
cial, it could hardly be realized was
authentic, inasmuch as the young
man was expected home at any time,
and it is but natural that there was
increased cause for sorrow when
the news spread throughout the
town.
In letter to his brother, J. VI.
Mcmillan, Gary spoke Of life in the
trenches at the time OF the armis-
tice, but he has. never at any time
referred to being wounded.

HAWKER AND GRIEVE ARE SAFE
Daring Aviators Rescued in Mid-At-
lantic by Small Danish Vessel.

Hawker and Grieve, the daring
airmen who attempted flight across
the Atlantic in a small motor plane,
were rescued by little Danish vessel
500 miles off the Irish coast. The
airmen left st. Johns, Newfoundland,
on the evening of the 18th and were
missing six days. The vessel that res
cued them had no wireless and the
world was kept in ignorance of their
fate until land was reached. The
world had given the men up as lost
and the news of their rescue was
received with joy everywhere. 1t was
the most daring exploit man has ever
undertaken and even though the air
men failed in the enterprise they have
won undying fame.

nutmeg is the romantic way in whio h nature thwarted the Dutch attempt to establish a complete monopoly of the spice. They own the Banda islands, where most of the nutmeg trees grow, and at one time they wanted to pre- vent everyone else from raising the spice. So to keep up prices and induce other planters on other islands to cut down their plantations, the Dutch at one time burned three piles of nutmegs each of them said to be as. big as tise average church. They induced other planters to join with them, and it soon seemed as though they were killing all competition.
 Then nature took a hand in the game. A large pigeon of the island, which is extremely fond of mace, car ried the seeds to all the surrounding lands, even to the mainland of Asia Nutmeg trees began to grow in nu- merous places and all danger of mo- nopoly was removed.
