FLAMES DESTROY
HUMBERT HOME

Home Of Late Capt. Humbert De.
strOyed by Fire Just as Funeral
Services are Concluded.
Monday at noon, just as the fun
eral services over the remains Of Can't.
Joseph B. Humbert were being CON
cluded at Bethel church, the house
which the funeral party had left just
a short time before caught afire and
was practically destroyed. Most of
the furniture was saved
People leaving the burying ground
noticed the volume Of smoke arising
from the house and rushed by to rem
der assistance. Miss Ludie Taylor, a
neighbor, who was too unwell to at
tend the funeral, ran over to the Hum
I'bert home when she saw smoke aris-
ing from the roof Of the kitchen. She
realized there would be no chance of
saving the dwelling, so seizing handy
farm tool she succeeded in breaking in
the front door which was locked and
then directed negro helpers in saving
furniture. Others coming up from the
funeral gave their assistance and
much Of the furniture was saved
though the handsome old home itself
went up in flames.
The Humbert home was one OF the
most substantial and commodious OF
the older country homes OF the county
and, though remodeled several times,
still retained in it's architectural lines
suggestion OF it's earlier colonial
type. It's destruction removes one of
the landmarks Of the county.

We, therefore recommend that this
court by proper order authorize and
direct the County Supervisor and
County Treasurer to borrow on the
faith and credit of Laurens County
from time to time such sum or sums
of money as may be necessary to pay
the expenses Of the courts Of General

es OF Indebtedness as may be neces-
sary to be issued to secure such loans
