Hock Hill lias had a number
/
of fires this week, as many as
three occurring there Monday, ;
as published in Wednesday's

R)Ok Hill was visited by
another?the third?fire early
this morning. An alarm was
turned iu about 5 o'c'oek and

law offices of Spencer & Dun.ap
and a hole, annex on second
uoor, ami L. Bird, turniture;
Ed Benton's barber shop and J.
Edgar I'oag's real estate oflioe on 1
the ground tloor, was found to
be tbe seat ol trouble. The fire
originated lrom a stove that is
used for heating baths lor the
Commercial Club, and the flames
ate their way through flouring
and ceiling into the furniture
store ot J. L Bird and his entire
stock is ruined either by fire or
water, the lire gaining considerable
headway in this part of the
building. The barber shop m 1
it. * " ~
ine same i>\iiIcii 11 tr nlonir with
J. Edgar Poag's office suffered j
lost# by wa;er alone, and at this j
time the damage has not been
appraised.
A Rock Hill special in Thursday's
Slate gives the losses and
insurance hh follows :
J. L. Bird & Co., $3,000, with
two thirds covered; Edward Benton,
barber, $500, covered; J.
Elgar Poag, real estate agency,
covered; the Commercial club,

The loss of other occupants j1
can not as yet be estimated, but ,
it is probable that it is small. :

Sensational Incident at Cam
paign Meeting in Pickers
Wednesday.
Easley special in the News aud
Courier* The mountain breezes,
tresh from the Blue Ridge,
tanned the cheeks of 1,500 sturdy
yeomen who listened to the Senatorial
candidates at Pickens today.
The feature of the day
was a reference by Mr. Grace in
his speech to the Mayorality
race in Charleston some years
ago, when Mr. Grace announced
that in a public speech at Charleston
a gentleman now in the
court house, and well known in
Pickens, had himself announced
thai Mr. Ilhett was responsible
lor the appointment of Crum as
collector of the port. Thereupon
Mr. Legare, who was seated in
the audience, arose and asked if
Mr. Grace meant the reference
for him ; Mr. Grace replying,
"it ihe cap fits wear it," whereupon
Mr. Legare again arose and
with vehemence said: ''1 denounce
that statement as an ab
solute lie " The audience cheered
heartily.
After the adjournment of the
meeting Mr. Cirace arose and
made the following statement:
Mr. Ulietl has spoken and has
had an opportunity to answer
my question and to make me out
a liar or some one else, and I
repeat that the letter referred to
was in existence, and anyone
who says it was not in existence
is a liar.
