alone 1892 persons were killed and
42,0S9 injured as a result Of Fourth
Of July accidents from firearms and

cd through the regulation Of the sale

lowing list Of protective sugge~ ions:

Many Teachers
Seeking Positions

Columbia. July 20.-There are
more men and women enrolled as
applicants for positions as teach
ers in the schools Of the state than
ever before, stated j. H. Shealy.
registrar of the state teachers bu-
reau in Columbia today Mr..
Shealy said that since the bureau
was established several years ago,
there have never been as many
applications on file at one time.
Mr.. Shealy ascribed the situation
to tow facts: the increased num-
Der of young people OF teaching
age and education. and the in
creased demand for work. Many
people. especially men, who dur
ing the period of the war and just
afterwards held positions IN other
lines Of work. where remuneration
was high. are now returning to the
teaching profession. There is an
increasing demand for the state
registration bureaus services. Mr..
Shealy stated.

TOBACCO
ASSOCIATION
CAMPAIGN

Florence. July o0.-opposition
to the Tobacco Growers Coopera-
I've Association is wi h in g
throughout South Carolina as field
workers from four States advance
on the east side Of the Pee Dee
river under the leadership Of W. E.
Lea, field representative of the as
scciation for South Carolina, and
on the west side of the river with
L. E. Rogers directing the attack.
With complete reaction in ia
yor of cooperative marketing forty
business men of Florence have set
out today to divert every available
pound of tobacco within reach Of
their market to the cooperative
warehouses of the headquarters
town.
Timmonsville, Lake City. Pam
plico and other markets have can
vassed steady to secure a portion
of the half million dollars annual
business which Florence claims as
hers. The Florentines are now
making a record fight in their de-
termination to win this big stake
of 100000 year.
The Tobacco Growers Coopera-
tive Association has strictly adher-
ed to their policy of giving the
growers free choice of markets. but
thousands of growers must make
that choice within the next ten
DAYS and the competition between
towns grows more intense as, the
opening day approaches.
More than a hundred contracts
were signed by association workers
around Mullins last week, fifty
reached headquarters from Marion
and many from other tobacco
centers. The large markets are SO
so,idly surrounded by association
tobacco that the campaign work
ers have adopted modern methods
of attack and have deployed in a
wide area in a mop up drive which
has developed into a highly success
full campaign of contact between
worker and grower.

BIG FIRE AT
FURMAN
UNIVERSITY
James C. Furman Science Hall
a Total Loss


C. Furman science hall at Furman
university. constructed in 1911. at
cost of more than $4,000 was
completely gutted by fire which was
discovered about 5 o'clock this
morning and which ragged for
several hours before it could be
gotten under control.
At meeting of the executive
committee of the board of trus-
tees today, it was decided to re-
place the building in exactly its
former state, the work to begin
at once. with the expectation OF
having. it in readiness about the
time Of the opening of the fall term
at the university in September. On
account of increased cost OF build
ing now as compared with the
time when the building was erected
it is estimated that it will require
about $4,000 TO 100000 to rebuild
it. Insurance to the amount Of
$4,000 was carried on the struc-
ture. and it is understood 1t is re-
garded by insurance men as VIZ
tually a complete loss.
The fire started in one of the up
per floors of the three-story brlck
structure, the theory beng that 1T
originated in the chemical labora-
| tory through spontaneous combus-
ton. The blaze had evidently been
burning for some time before it was
discovered. The alarm was turn
ed in by a newspaper carrier boy
who happened to see the glare
through a window in the second
floor of The News building. The
fire department responded prompt
lv but virtually the entire roof
was blazing when they arrived.
All available fire fighting appar-.
atus in the city was put on the
task. but through a lack of~sufn-
cient water mains on Furman
campus. the firemen were serious
ly hampered in their efforts to get
the flames under control. The main
| which was at first tapped, 1t de.
veloped today, is on dead 'end
of the water system and the water
did not flow in sufficient quantity
to supply the bumpers. The re-
sult was that for time only one
or two streams, of rather insufh-
cient force. could be turned on the
building. The flames worked rap
idly downward from the top floors,
completely cutting the structure
from bottom to top. The walls are
still standing apparently in tact,
hut whether or not they can De
used without partially rebuilding
had not been positively determIN-
ed today. 1t was 8 O'clock pc
fore the fire was completely under
control.
! Several of the firemen suffered
/ slight injuries as a result OF parts
of the cornice falling upon them.
Virtually the entire equipment OF
the building was destroyed. A pfl-
vate library of Prof. J. Scott Mur-
raw. consisting of many rare ana
! valuable volumes, on the ztnlro
floor of the ubilding was compile
+ Iy lost. -,
The building housed virtually all
the class rooms in two sclence
courses. together with chemical
physical, biological and other lao-
oratories and many other valuable
nroperties Of the university
! Chief Donald of the city flre de-
partment tonight. said he did not
believe the damage would run as
high s was first thought and es-
timated the damage between sso,-
I 600 and $4,000.
