I The Press and Banner Wednesday, March 20,1878 THE ACADEMY BUILDING OJ FIltE. Hard nud Successful Work?Little Da mage?Cause of Fire. Last Thursday. 14th of March, about noon while Miss White's school was in session i... \ Vaidemv so mo smirks of fi ro I 'were blown it. to tne sohool-room,and before tile astonishment caused could express itself a little boy, one of the pupils, rushed in with the starlliug announcement tlmt the schoolliouse was a lire. This announcement was all the more startling because on that mild and pleasant morning there was no need for tire in the stove. Instantly the school-room was vacated and all rushed out into the open air. It was discovered that the belfry?a ;woodcn structure?was on tire, smoke was Issuing from It, and Jets of flame were bursting out here and there. The alarm of fire was soon spread through the town by ringing of bells und loud cries. The Democratic Convention at that hour sitting In the Court House, heard the alarm, and forthwith and informally adjourned and rushed en waste to the scene of danger. Abbeville possesses no tire engine, for the good and sufficient reason that she has no system of cisterns and pumps. The only means possessed by our town for conquering n tire isa Babcoek's Extinguisher. The little cxtcngtilshcr was promptly brought to the burning Academy, and under able and experienced management it did most excellent service. Thanks to the brick walls and the roof of tin, the Arc had not as yet spread beyond the wooden belfry. Jew Peter, colored, to whom for his hard and daring work nil praise Is due, had used his head as a battering ram and forced a way through celling, smoke, and tlameand made his appearance 011 the roof, which is comparatively flat. For a little while his position seemed to be a very dangerous one; for the Actidcmy isa high, two-story building, and the only means of descent was In flames. By the help of a long ladder the hose of the extinguisher was handed to the negro, and he played It well n...i Rv nonrinir Its iras-eharged wnter on the flaming belfry lie kept the Unlit eheck and within n limited area. Meanwhile a still longer bidder had been brought, and several men white and colored climbed up on the roof and formed a chain on the ladder to hand up palls of water. I.lttle miffs of urnoke with occasional tongues of name were ?eeu spurting out around tlie eaves from under the tin roof 011 the Southern side. At Right of these many nave up their hopes of *avlng the building, for a very high wind was Mowing, and despite the unwearied exertions of those on the ground the supply of water was not very abundant. The brave little extinguisher was doing good work, however, and axe* and levers were being plied assiduously to send the burning belfry down. Hv sheer pluck, hard work, and perseverance, which were displayed by colored men as well *k by whin* men. the Arc was at last itrousm thoroughly under control, and the building saved from destruction. The belfry was completely destroyed, but its destruction does not materially affect the value of the Academy. It Is computed that apart from that, the damage caused by the tire old not cxcecd two hundred dollar*. The building Is not inmired. The origin of the Arc is most extraordinary. It seem* that the poilceman had been superIntending H squad of workmen who were repairing the roads, and he bad set tin" to an I old itump at a little distance from the Acude- j my. The walls of brick and roof of tin would i'*m to be a good protection at any time even when a high wind Is blowing. Hut a tree n?Ttrer the building caught tire, and the wind } blew some burning embers In the dlr"ction of J the belfry. Though covered with tin. Its cornices and nupi>orts were of wood, and a sparkof Are lodging In a decayed beam was soon binned Intotlame. The Academy l* the property of Thomas C. rerrin, Esq., whose magnificent mansion on the inme lot was destroyed by lire Just thirteen month* ago. For some time It was feared that th-e strong wind would carry burning ember* far enough to endanger houses' in the neighborhood and precautious were taken,especially at Mrs. Norwood's, to prevent any extension of fire. Fortunately the flames i were confined to the limited area of the Acad-1 *mjr belfry. Had llic whole nnmung oeen i destroyed, the dnnger brother property would : have been very great. Our townsmen work willingly and well ntn ! Are; and our colored citizen k are not behind' the white* in engaging in the iiurd, unpaid,, and often dangcruu* wort. County Finances.

With only one-half the money consumcil by their predecessors, our present town Counell are doing ten times the work. Our mayor lias only one fault: he is too unselfish. The only street, that needs a good side1 walk and a street-lamp Is the one leading to ; his own house.

He can get the mail carried twice a week for the asking. Anderson County claims to have been the first County in the State to organize her deI mocracy in 76. Again this year she is to the I front. Not only was she tirst to re-organize I for the coming campaign, but her journals inform us she is to be the first in having a Hampton meeting in '78. She begins early. She is so anxious to be up early in the morning she never goes to bed at all. Mil. Smith, carpenter, is constructing new spinning machines the patent for which is owned by Mr. A. M. Hill.

Shortly after our arrival in Washington, after the 10th ol'January, at the close of the Congressional recess, we were approached by ' a foreigner, whose name is Sniolinski, a Pole, who since lH.'tS or '40, when he was banished ' from bis nati rc land, has to this day lived in th the United States.

' and that these people only wanted an opening .. orcncourageincnt, and they would come with their families and ell'oets and settle in any I Southern State. j,,r We snugested to this enthusiastic old pin-1., neerthc idea of calling his Association to-,''1 gethcr and invite Southern representative "! men to address them upon the Inducements rl' to migrate Southward, ile accepted our )>roposition, and were the tirstSouthorner invited , to address the assemblage.

We lake pleasure In acknowledging tlic receipt of tlieadvuncc sheets of the latest publication of the National Publishing Company I of l'hiladclphia. The work is entitled "The P Pictorial History of the World," embracing 'I full ami authentic accounts of every nation ,l of ancient anil modern times, and including H a History of the raise and full of the Ureck P ami Roman Km pi res, the growth of the tut- " tions of Modern Europe, the Middle Ages, the " Crusades, the Feudal System, the Keforma- ? tlon, the discovery and settlement of the New ? World, etc., etc. It is from the pen of James s_' 1). McCabe, an author well known for his his- J torical writings, who haft devoted years oI study and research to the production of this K| volume. The book is literally a library In itself, and is one of the most valuable works r | ever ottered to the public. It presents to the t> reader a muss of Information respecting an- ?i cient, mediaeval and modern history not to I \ be found in any other book, and does this the | most lascinatlug una entertaining memicr. | It brinits up before us tin; various grout men j of ancient and modern times?the warriors, i poels, statesmen, sages and orators?and shows tlieni to us as they really were in life. I The work is valuable to every read I tic person. w and should have a place in every household. g 'J'he meehanieal Execution of the hook fully \ sustains the high reputation of the publishers, n It contains 12f>ti larite double-column pages, V and over tvln tine engravings illustrative ofli the events recorded in the narrative, cmbrnc- j ing battles and other historical scones; por-1 ? traits of the creat men of ancient and modern j j, i times, and views of the principal cities of the | (1 I world. The oiiitravinits In this hook are eon- | (. ! nine works of art, and were made at a cost, of: over Si'.,<100.

It is the t< j ruof-t complete and readable history of the i world ever published, and agents who take ! hold of it will reap a rich harvest. j The bonk is for sale by subscription only, ; ; and the publishi-rs want agents, as will be : seen by their advertisement in another col- , uinn. ^ The (?recn\vood ltond. j A letter from W. K. Blake. Kscj., of Green- ^ | wood, K. C., appears in tin- Chronicle and 0>n-1 I ititiUioiiuli^t this morning, giving an account' V of the condition and prospects of the Green-1 * .1 wo<id branch of the Augusta and Knoxvillc Railroad. At a meeting of the stockholders of the company held at Miilway, on the 8th j I inst.. it was determined to increase t he force j j of laborers now employed on the work with the view of finishing the road to the Savan- (] nab river within a short time. Since the war j all the railroads In the South have have been I j ^ j built with paper instead of money, on credit i ' | instead of with cash. Therefore, the intelli- T " | genee that the Greenwood line is being con- jA I struetcd on a purely cash basis is as pleasant | as it is surprising. Twelve miles of the road . ! have been graded and every foot of the work " has been paid for as last as completed. Nor ' has the corporation borrowed a cent of money to make these payments. The people along ; the line desired railway connection with the ' Augusta market, and they have put their " handsin their pockets and paid for what they \ j wanted. Mr. Blake says the road from Green- < ' wood to the Savannah will be finished before 1 the line from Augusta reaches the river. " Tliis is a fair challenge to a friendly trial of " energy and public spirit. Let our Georgia " friends accept it in the spirit in which it is t 1! offered and do their best to wjn the race. 1 Augusta, especially, has a great deal at stake < on the construct ion of this road, and must 1 i not fail to do her whole duty. The South Car- . "jolinians have more than fulfilled their " pledges, and we must show them, not by ^ promises, but by performance, that, we intend 1 J j to redeem ours to the letter.?Augusta Chruni- ] . |cle- 1 f I Have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and pro> | nouncelt the best medicine in use.
