In the state are many educational

similar to the fire at Camden, S. c.,

death, who regard with disfavor leg

Prevention of one disaster like
the one at Camden would warrant the
expenditure of all the money and eff

century.
"DeliVerance from the peril of fires
by the installation CT proper equip

houses and hotels. Such buildings
are serving constantly as food for
