Tl I If DYSON IS NO MORE City of Possibilities Suffered Terrible Conflagration Saturday Morning?Blue Room Goes Up In Flames Edward Gibbon spent twenty years writing The Decline and Fall oi Home. It would take us fully as long to write The Rise nad Destruction of Dyson. So grief stricken have we been that untjl now we have not even attempted to put on the paper the tumultous feelings of our heart. And we think of others about the city who had at one time and another staked their all on the wood supply of Dyson?in the form of chips?our sympathy is far too meagre to provide much consolation ! for their lamentations uttered from J their sackcloths and ashes. The wonderful "blue room" is no more. The rendezvous of all henpecked husbands about the city is now only' ashes to sprinkle on their shaven heals. Even the depot under which King Link and Col. Wilson were wont to hide railroad fare home before taking a "sitting" lies too, a heap of forty-penny nails and crackling charcoal. It all happened in the early dawn of Saturday morn. Peacefully was n/\M T?n f Unv L\^ +1* n Ailtf viic 01/11 vi tuc r aviici vi vuc ciwj sleeping his beauty sleep when he was awakened by the terrfied voice of a neighbor calling "Fire"! The ruthless fire had originated in Proctor's store also the home of the United States post office which had been located there to take care ef the bags of mail orders, ' .whicji came to Dyson for McMillan brick. Rapidly it spread until the "' Monte Carlo, the Casino,'the . jp Cafe ?< -de Nancy, The Catfish prill, and the Commissariat de McMillan, all in the Hotel de Ville were consumed by the ravages of the fire demon. Not a chip' was saved but Mr. McMillan, he who lately donned the robes of a Benedict, managed tS save the books and a lot of householl furnishings belonging to the Dyson Brick Co. The Jack of Spades, the same knave which Bradley Reese tried to draw to an "inside straight," in April was found in the embers. Col.

OLD CLEMSON BOYS HAVE BIG REUNION I * Home Coming at Clemson College Last Week Was Largely Attended And Was a Most Enjoy. able Affair Clemson College, Aug 3.?College boys are again living over the old days and old pranks. Again this sums up the big home coming which closed last night, and which was attended by hundreds of Clsmson graduates and extended from Fri_ day morning through Sunday afternoon. The campus has been alive with the old boys and to say that (they have had a good time is puttine it mild instead. A noticeable fact about the attendance was the presence of large numbers of men who were in college from the first session 1893 down to 1900. Eighteen of the 37 I member^ of the graduating class 6f J1896 were present, many of them now prominent men of affairs and the professions. There was little for jnplity about the home coming but ' committees of the, college people and the local alumni worked daj and night to help the fellows have a .good time, y . \ j The sermon on Sunday molding by Rev. B. R .Turnipseed, class oi ^896, was one of the outstanding features, as were the informal talks Saturday morning by several oldei faculty members and prominenl alumni. * | An enthusiastic meeting of th< 'alumni association was held, ai jwhich big forward steps were taker to promote the affairs of the asso ciation and the college. This will b< reported later in full. Everybody went away declaring his determina \tion to be back at the next hom< r coming in 1925. enberg M DEPARTME lFoi STORE 34to40 $5.75 34 to 40 $5.75 k gunmetal 6 to 10 $3.00 5 in both Black izes 25 ?|o Discc Dxfords 25 ?|o senbe BIRTH. 11 I' Born in Dublin, Ga., Wednesday, August 4, 1920 to Mr. and Mrs. Brice Mills, (nee Miss Nelle Edwards) a daughter. CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S WIFE HAS A "PUNCTUREb ROMANCE" News dispatches today state that Mrs. Mildred Harris Chaplin has filed suit for separation against that crazy Charlie, her husband. Mrs. Chaplin does not ask for divorce, she states, but only separatron. She means to fix Charlie so he can't be legally vamped. Among the numerous charges filed by the wife are that Charlie stayed out until 4 a. m. and often all night, that he rrequently forgot to remember her birthday, that his neglect caused her to suffer a nervous breakdown. I , If Mrs. Chaplin was. like a lot of us, the less she saw of Charlie the happier she would be. VVVVVVVVWVVWVV V ^ V ?SEE?
