TUTT'S Liver PILLS ABSOLUTELY CURE. A DESTRUCTIVE FIJBE. About five minatca after eleven j 3'clock on Saturday night, the fire ilaroi was given, and soon men, t svomen and children were thronging the 6treet8. Tbe fire originated in the jfore occupied by Morris Meyers as a confectionery, known as tbe Wolfe building, and now owned oy Judge Buchanan. Tbe fire here burned rapidly and it was soon evident that a i rery destructive fire was in progress. ; Jusi 6onih of thip, only a few feet, was i the Harden boils'1 occupied by Jno. M? i Smith and in which was C. A. Lucaa ] Store, xne narueL nousc xua mustory frame building and made-good 3 btirning material. A heroic effort was i made to save it. When the Harden ; bouse caught and it was seen that it i would b& destroyed, the firemen fought ; bard to save the DesPorte? Mercantile ] Co.'s building, but this was separated j from the Harden hou*e by only fi few 1 feet, and being a wooden building.it i was within easy reach of the flaming ] tongnes, and this building was soon in i jfihea. J. D. McCarley's residence i was in.immiDcnt danger, but by dogged : md persistent work on the DesPortes ] building to subdue the flames and i thereby minimize the heat, and.by i keeping a strei.m of water playing on ; the McCarlcv house, it was sayed, and i the further progress of the fire south i was checked. Oa.the uorth of Meyers' : Jtore, the fire swept L. Landecker's store, L. W. Hawes' store and G. A. i White's confectionery store. All of j :hese ia?t buildings were brick, includ- i i! ? ? ? ? J ^ 1 Atmwp Af Ano 1 Dg lUttl UlXUtJIOU U V n? vuv :ime it seemed barely possible that ; 3r. A. White's store-room woald be 1 saved, bnt the rear part was wood and ,he intense heat had it smoking and . suddenly it burst into flames. Then 1 3. M. Chandler's store seemed in great 1 Janger, but fortunately it was a two- ] Jtory building covered with tia and a lead wall against White's. The firenen fought desperately at a very critical time, and the march of the fire i aorth was ended. < The stocks of goods from Chandler's, i Landecker's, Ilawes, Lucai, DesPortes Mercantile Co., Mrs. ilcCarey's millinery, and D. Lauderdale's nrerA rinmned into the street, and of i course as is always the case the goods were considerably damaged. Mr. M?CJarley's household furniture a3 well is Mr. Smith's were removed as mach is possible, but the latter lost a consid?rable part of his household effe;ts. Meyers' stock was all destroyed. Of ;ourse, all of the merchants lost some goods. It is impossible to say exactly^'what the loss was.. Tiie goods saved were more or less damaged, and again it is impracticable now to tell exactly how mach of the stocks were destroyed. White bad $1,000 insurance on his 1 building, $400 on his stock and $300 on fixtures. He is probably .covered by insurance. Hawe3 had no'insurance, nor had T. T. Lumpkin,, owner of the stGre-room occupied by him. Lumpkin's los3 is probably $1,000, Elawes' $200 to S300. Landecker had $1,500 irdurance. His loss will consist in dam ped goods, and he is covered by insurance. Meyers' stock was destroyed, but is covered by insurance of $500. U. A. Lucas had no insurance, and lost possibly $100 worth of goods. Judge Buchanan had $500 injurance. His building will approximate $1,400 in value. The Peoples Bank, the ewner of the Landecker jiArs.rnnm. had $800. This building wa9 worth probably $1,400 to $1,500. The Harden house was a complete loss. Jt is owned by John M. Harden and J. H. Harrf-iU. It wa3 worth not less than $J.5?0. DesPortes Mercantile Co. had $1,000 on buiiding and SI,000 on goods. The loss here will be considerable, possibly $1;000 to $L,500, as the insurance will not near cover tin loss on the bailding-. C. M. Chandler's stock was iniared, V.;o inenrsriM TOllI lilrftlv COVer hl8 UUt 1UO ;uouiMi>uv Tf - loss. MISCELLANEOUS. G. A. White will for the present use part of C. M.

DesPorles Mercantile Co. will occupy ihe store on the corner of Congresi and College streets. Jno. M. Smith is in Mrs. Ilesse McCarley's bouse.

Woodward appeared in your issue of this date whieh appears i to be a severe arraignment of the three militia companies in this county. The ' language employed in the article might i well justify ore in passing the matter < in silent contempt, as it is well known that the three militia companies hare as good material as there is in South Carolina, and needs no defence from . any source, and I will only ?ay in behalf of the Ridgeway . Rifles, which I bave had the honor to command for the past fire years, and that has a total membership of only twenty-eight wen, rank and file, when the request came for volunteers, which was neither compulsory for obligatory, U members from the company and a similar number from outside patriotic citizens responded to the call and tendered oa. services to Col. Jones, |tbe commander fo the Palmetto Regiment, but our number being too snail to constitute a company in the legular army have not so far been mustered in. Now no patriotic citizen should ask another to take his life in his hands - ~ ^ Iinlaco Via himiAlf lull IL' cut; UVUk Uill^ao Uvy should be willing to do the same; therefore I submit this proposition: Let T. W. Woodward and myself break thejce and lead the van, by volunteering as prirates and go to Mr. Ulllerbe together in person and ask to be put in th9 front rank where the battle is hottest and remain there until Le shall agree that the lost honor and patriotism he complains of, and that which was achieved by our ancestors, hare been fully restored, or at least so far as we are concerned. Now the ylore is thrown down, pick it up and some along. W. J. Johnson, Captain Ridgeway Rifles. Ridge way, S. C., May 3, 1898. THE "DEVIL'8" TBICK. Mr. Editor: I am inrely one of lho most unfortunate of men, I never open mj mouth but I put my foot into it. I little thought when I gave the boys * prod about volunteering and dated my letter, which was signed Cuba, from Ririgeway, so they could not tree me, that the devil in your office would play the devil witu me, and raice the devil generally. You can imcgine my surprise when the article appeared under my signature. I have no apologies to cffer however. I tbeoght the situation needed some comment, and as a well wisher of my people, I did what I have often done before and expect to do as long as I live, give my opinion? freely and learlessly. Now whoever reads my article readily sees that no unkinduess was intended for the militia, no reflection was made upon the material of which it was composed. I did think this material bad been warped by the teachings of Tillmanism and I think so yet. Now I ask you, the militia, to ask yourselves when yon go to bed to-night, why it was that your companies sprang into existence at the nod of Bloodr Ben Tillman when ( aroliniant were to be butchered at Darlington, and why you subseqnently carried your guns to eliction precincts in the county to be used against white men, your neighbors and brethren? Then tell me, please, why the old county is to-day without her company which has always characterized and adorned her before? No, my friend?, I don't doubt the material of which you are made, and no one knows it better than the redoubtable captain of the Ridgeway Rifles, who would pose a3 your champion. He sometimes taiks through his haf, but every two years his head is level, and he knows how to Address the galleries. We old politicians understand this thiDg. In conclusion, I will say that I am tempted to accept the captain' chall?nge to go bef Got. Elleroe and sacrifice ?n"!ji>es on the altar of Cuban independence; but I fear we are to} late. Ho would certainly consider us a couple of fools and we might be turned over to Dr. Babcock for safeVppr>ina_ ?rh? miorht sar to me, "Since ?o; o * you arc so keen for a fight, why didn't you join the Ridgeway Rifles when they were called upon, and help the captain make up bis quota?' Tbi? would put us in an awkward position; so I suggest that we reserve ourselves for the next call, feeling that five years inlhe militia of South Carolina and I four years and nine days in the Con: <fsdera!e army will suffice to maintain 1 ou-r military respectability in the meat; i ti?e. Should }6u answer, and I hope | yo? will, please confine yourself to the : subject matter, and feisrn as much "contempt" as is possible; there are uncharitable people who think "c >ntempt" supplies the p!iee of brains when brains are lacking.

Mr. Editor: "When the communicaLion in your paper assailing the three militia companies in tills county, namely tbe Jackson Creek Riftea, Greenbrier Rifles, and the Ridgeway Rifles, appeared I mint cDnfes3 I was < puzzled to locate the author, it being : tieadsd Ridgeway, S C. Naturally I instituted search and inquiry to ascertain if such a personage were domiciled i here, bat all efforts were of no avail, ; ind I think it jast to say there were ; qo tears no,;<,iv'J when the fact failed ( to materialize. Tue second article in to-day's issue over the same signature 1 leaves U3 in tbe same predicament as it is not headed at all, oat tna auicor whomsoever disclaim.* any unkind- , ness or reflections upon the militia, which is very commendable in him to say ih-j least, for we are all human and are '.iab!e to err, and nothing U more honorable and manly than to retrace our steps jyhen we find we are in the wrong, but almost in the same sentence he says he gave the boys a prod because of their failure to volunteer. These two statement in the same sentence are a little difficult to reconcile, but the most difficult problem and videst discrepancy to solve between the first communication,. wtiicQ Das been constrned as a wanton and gratuitous attack upon the malitia wherein tttey are charged with organizing and usurpic~ positions, arms, old clothes and bearing arms secretly to election precincts to slaughter their ' brethren becauee they differed with them. And the second statement in < yonr issue of to-day, which emphatically declares that no oi:e could read the first article and interpret it as a reflection or anything the least unkind towards the three companies above ( named, ll a direct or even indirect charge of being usurpers, intentional murderers and thirsty warriors (for J this is the language) is nothing to complain of or unkind, then I am at a loss to understand plain English language, and neither invite nor welcome such kindness and epithets, and believe fro:u expressions heard on all sides, this sentiment is echoed in milifjirv r.ireles throughout the county You also charge me with speaking to the galleries and posing as a leader. Ob, no, no! Yon wantonly provoked the controversy I proposed to go with you and volunteer a3&prtta\c and surrender mr commission. Never impngn a man's motive because the 6Q8picion of an ancharitable people might incline to the belief that you were guilty of the charge yourself and then 1 I have known one or two old politicians to be storm swept by pondering to the galleries, and I always profit by observation. I don't think there is a particle of danger of Dr. Babcock getting us, if we should go to Columbia to volunteer, or at least I haven't heard of him terrorizing anybody up to this time because of their loyalty to the country in the Cuban war.
