k DESTRUCTIVE FIRE I, F AT BENSON.' C 1 MR. W. E. SNOWDEN SUFFERS ] SEVERE LOSS- DEATH OF AN IN- v f^NT?OTHER LOCAL NEWS. * ? i; . Benson, June 19:?Mr and Mrs A \\ B Burrows have the sympathy of v the people of this section, the for- \ mer being: called by telegram to \ Florida a few days ago on account \ of the death of his brother, which j occurred very suddenly. On return- t innr Knmo Mr RlirrnWS foiind a VerV r tug tiviliv 4U A A/V44* V ?w - ? sick child and death was the relief n that the ministering angel brought,in ; ( like manner bearing the innocent soul i J to that home beyond assured by the j f following beautiful promise: "Suffer s little children to come unto Me and ; ? forbid them not; for of such is the ! c kingdom of heaven." A large con-1 c course of friends attended the fu- ( neral service conducted by Rev E E ;Ervin when the mortal remains of ; little Whitaker Burrows were laid t<- t rest at Cedar Swamp Methodist church. ; j It may not be amiss t) mention ; here that this is becoming a t're i quent place of interment, regardless j( of any plan or system. A committee'? should have charge of the burying! v ground and lay it off into plots with ! ( some semblance of order. Then,too. 2 those interested in them should go to I work and ditch, fence and in some 1 manner protect and beautify the j place where the bodies of their loved I ones now lie. Whithersoever we go l whole, we think the fire may have * been due possibly to loose matches ( dropped carelessly at some time by the "hands" and ignited by rats. 1 The entire loss is estimated at $1,2'?0 ^ or $1,500, with no insurance.

Sunday night about 11:30 o'clock Mr W E Snowden, who had retired about 10 p m., was awakened by a bright light shining through the window of his bed-room and realized that his barn was ablaze. Although he made all possible haste he reach-! ed the fire in time to save nothing ! Within the enclosure were a pair of j fine mules worth at' least $600, also i 1 a combination buggy and saddle < horse, "Dan," which was widely .known throughout the county and / some people in Kingstree for his ' remarkable sagacity and was an es- j pecial favorite of his owner, with no f purchase value placed on him. These I three live brutes su-cum bed to the * cruel flames,also about 6,000 pounds ' of oats, 1,000 pounds of fodder, one j comparatively new wagon and bug- \ gy.one McCormiek mower, three 01- f iver-chilled plows, one combination 1 Cole cotton and corn planter,one ton t of soda nitrate,one-half ton agricul- ( tural lime, some home-cured bacon, t corn,harness,bridles and all the plowgear were destroyed. There were 20 head of hogs, one milch cow and calf within the enclosure,all of which made their escape, except one hog. 1 By three o'clock in the morning, * with the assistance of Messrs Alex ^ Tisdale and Armstrong McCrea, we 1 had the county blood-hound on the 1 ground in charge of MrC F Stuckey.

Remember that without these liberal' merchants, bankers and other enterprising business men, the price of subscription would be at least $3 a year for such a pajier as The Record. You'll find, as a rule, that the men wh > advertise are wide-awake and on the alert and can give you better bargains than those who do not advertise.

I I LOSS ABOUT 120,000, PARTIALLY ; COVERED BY INSURANCE- NO CLUE TO ORIGIN. Fire was discovered in the office of Dr A M Snider, adjoining his dwelling, Friday about 1 o'clock, p.m., the flames spreading rapidly, burning his handsome dwelling. Nor did it stop here .for the flames,encouraged by a brisk southwest wind, soon swept the dwelling occupied by B F Patrick, and owned b> W H Carr; then went on to the new two-story dwelling owned and occupied by A S Coker. entailing a loss of about twenty thousand dollars, partly covered by i isurance, apportioned as follows: Or A M Snider, dwelling, office and furniture, including library, loss. $10,000; insurance $5,500. \V H Carr, loss, $2,50o; insurance, M.Ooo, i; F Patrick, loss, $100; insurance, $200. A S Coker, loss, $:>,000; insurance. $4,000. The library of Dr Snider contained one of the best collections of books to be found anywhere, and was of itself worth half of the insurance carried on the entire property. It also contained many rare old books and manuscripts, which were of great interest in the making of our history. The unusually dry weather made it almost impossible to do effective work with che limited water supply available, and it looked at one time as if the entire side of this street would go. It was only by heroic work that the fire was finally checked. So far as can be learned, no one knows how the fire originated, Dr Snider, at the time the flames were discovered 'ssuing from his office, being at the oil mill, some distance away from his home. j ' rxtmumtmm HI auweTei rcsaastfr MM ftfc Ml BOM ! ? ?
