A HOT TIME,
OinaHtroiiH Fire Tor Abbeville.
Abbeville has had another Are. The old
Alston bouse wrr f>und to be on Are last Friday
morning aboui half paBt five o'cloca, and
when discovered tbe means of escape from
the building had been cut off by tbe blaze.
It Is not necesHary to tell how the mighty
deml god.|Vulcan, hurled lurid flames sfcy
high, and put out the t*r? with pitch black
smoke. Suffice it to sap It was a great, big
blsze that meant business from tue beginulng.
When discovered the blaze was coming
through the shingles of tbe roof and Included
In its Krasp an end of the "Bridge of 8lgbs"
that connected that building wltn the brick
Hotel or Tageart House.
The confusion and babel of sounds attendant
on such scenes were everywhere In evlri?nr>?
hcvkmi men with 60-horse power,
brass lined, triple expansion lungs were yelling
"Are,"'-fire" with force enough to make
the blaze side step. Directly Mr. Taggart
came out on tbe sidewalk and brought one
long ringing alarm ol "Are" wblcb was followed
by a gutieral sound tbat led one to
believe be was trying to yell ,-flre" and at
Ibe same time think where bis pocket book
was. ,
About this time a gentlemen wbo occupied
a room In tbe Alston House came out and
said something like this to Mr. Taggart: "Mr.
Taggart (all In ordinary tone) tbe bouse Is on
fire and I, at present,(see no way to got out of
bere. Won't you please be kind enougb to
bave some one bring me a laddei?" Mr.
Taggart assured blm tbat be would bring one
or bave one brought. Tbe gentleman turned
and taking his trunk quietly dumped It overboard
together with some other bed room
paraphernalia.
A gentleman wbo wafc sleeping In another
part of the A'ston House was finally and
suddenly awakened. He was of a slightly
different temperament from the one mentioned
above. He ran to the window and
leaned far out like a measuring worm yelling
at the top noioh of his vocal strings- "Why
In tbe bell don't somebody bring me a ladder
here quick! I'm frying like a d?n llzzard !
The whole room's afire!'' A aarseyseeiug
by tbe frantic motions 01 the gentleman ihat
he evidently wanted something?of course
the darkey did not understand what It was?
went under the window and asked, "Boss
ran I do anything for you? Maybe yoo
would like for me to bring you u ladder."
Part of the language that followed tbe dar
key's suggestion Is absolutely unprintable.
The ladder was brought aud so the boarder's
life wan saved.
While beds, bed?tends, pillows, chairs,
tables and things boiled out of tbe windows
like molasses candy boiling over, It Is said
Lbat one gentleman g*ve vent to loud la
mentations ?boui ibe loss of a dog. He
won d rather ha\e ost everything else thai
tie bad than to Lave Ills favorite ta loe casu
in and cook.
Soon alter the discovery of the Are kind
Irlends helped remove theturulture from tbe i
Hotel and the goods rrom ttae stores. Bjtb
tvf-re plied np In the street.
Master Willie Hughes came down from the
30UI in his birthday suit. He h?a his gown
inder one arm aud a cat under the other, enjutrlng
how "It" started.
When things began to get pretty warm a
arge (tray neuaea oiu mi wuu uu^hik
tnd iiiustacioH slDged, ran out of tbe tire and
faced tbe crowd for an Instant with bU old
iead bobbing up aud down like a Hzzard*
tVbat be saw seemed to dtsbeartea blm (or
le turned and scampered bis last scamper
)aok Into tbe flames.
Miss Wlnton Taggart was rescued by a ladler
Irom tbe topmost story.
la all tbe excitement Postmaster Thomas
Tolbert, who boarded at tbe boiei, kept bis
qulllbrlum perfeotly. While others were
ushlng here and there, he walktd out aud

At tbe time of tbe Are Mrs. Taggurt bad

ary inrnlture for a bonrdlng bouse or that

The hotel building was owned by Mrs. J. L.
Vncrum, ol Charleston. It was worth about
?>,000 and was Insured for 88,000.
Mr. A. B. Cheatham occupied the corner
tore for general merchandise business
iVhlle he saved a good many things they are
n such coud'.tlon at to f>e almost unsalable,

itones was raked off Into vessels and carried
mu. Tbe building was not barned. Tbe
press could not be moved and so It was saved
without sustaining any Injury.
On Main street tbe new loe bouse, built less
Lban a month ago, was destroyed. It was
rebuilt tbe same day.
While tbe ffre was in progress a great multitude
of curious or Interested people were
standing around. It developed tbat quite a
number of persons would nave pointed tbe
nozzle of tbe hose differently from tbe way
tbe men In charge of the Job were doing tbe
work, but on tbe whole, tbe firemen received
greater praise in this fire than In any other
flm that we have had. It is certain tbat more
could Dot have been done. Tbe water supply
was up lo tbe cspaclty of tbe standplpe and
tbe reservoir. Tbe pumping arrangement
was perfect and at tbe end tbe stream of
water was even stronger than at the beginning.
Tbe water was played on the building
from five until eleven o'clock.
The fire caugbt from tbe wooden bulldlug
to tbe tblrd story of tbe brick building. This
circumstance caused tbe Hotel to burn slowly
and gave ample opportunity for all to
move out at tbe front while tbe fire ate Its
way from the rear.
Everybody worked moving goods. Even
tbe little girls helped move tbe goods tbat
bad been plaoed too near the fire, to a place
of safety. Tbe colored men and women
worked line Turks and saved many hundreds
of dollars woi lb of goods.
Everybody \ 'as so excited over .{he flre tbat
even "Hoax ltfyth" and 'kittle Joe" were
forgotten for tbe time being. It was nine or
ten o'clook when the news began to spr ad
that "Little Joe" was elected Governor of
Georgia.
Wagons were employed and at 11 o'clock
everything saved from tbe flre bad been
bauled off the street and plaoed In temporary
quarters.
Mr, Cheatham has moved Into tbe stoie
next to the new postofHoe.
Mr. Cobb, for the present, at leaht, will occupy

McGAHA ARRESTED.
Sheriff Lyon Nabs John McGaha
in Madison Oonnty, Georgia,
While Playing Checkers.
On last Thursday evening Sheriff
jLyon received certain information,
that John McGaha was in Georgia
and he took the first train in that
dlrecton. Arriving very early id me
morning at Comer, Georgia, he hired a
bu/gy and drove down to the county
seat.
Finding the sheriff of the county he
asked him if be would not help him
arrest McGaha. The sheriff willioglv
acquiesced. Lyon then<told the Sheriff
that McGaha was a desperate character
and that it would be on the safe
aMe to eo armed. The Madison sheriff
lefr Lyon there and went to consult
some one. He returned shortly to
say it would be impossible for him to
go.
Sheriff Lyon then approaohed the
city police of Madison, but the police,
after the Mayor gavt permission, refused
to go. Lyon, theu in straits for
some one to take him to the place im
1 - ? 2 i
portunea a ooy wno auoweu gm
enough, and with this boy he started
(> his mission.
it wan not long before they droytto
the place where McGaha was supposed
to be, and on nearing the housi
McGaha was seeu sitting outside the
bouse playing checkers. The Sbrrirf
was nearly on McGaha x before
McGaha noticed him; when he turned
and recognized the Sheriffhe flew in
the house and ^slammed the door.
McGaha had two pistols buckeled
around him and otherwise seemed
ready for business. As soon as
McGaha dodged into the house Sheriff'
Lyon leaped into the piazza.
The Sheriff* then told McGaha that
he had come after him puite a little
distance and that he could not see hi*
way clear to return without him. further,
that he would not appreciate
any funny work from McGaha. In
short he told McCaba that he was
in trouble enough ulieady and that
It would not be wise to tesisf, for one
or the other would die sure. The
Sheriff told him to leave his guns inside
when he came out. McGaba
shortly uubuekeled his two pistols and
came out and surrendered.
The Sheriff then gave his automatic
shotgun to the boy who had come
with him and ordered the boy to hold
the guu, or McGaha until he could
Becure McGaha. The young man took
the guu but under the circumstance*
the gun seemed posessed and persisted
in wiggling in the young man's \
hands. So much did it wiggle that
McGaha became uueasy for fear the
boy's finger mkht touch the trggt-r
and so besought the Sheriff to per
mit the ooy 10 point wie ku" 1,1 a"'
other direction, Throughout the whole
trip, however, the young mau rhowed
pretty good grit.
Sheriif Lyou wan within haif an
iiour of catching McGaha sometime
ago in Washington, D. C. He telegraphed
the authorities to leok out
f<?r McGaha junt half an hour *ttei
McGaha bad left the city. MiGaha
was theu supposed to be on bis wa\
to Panama, Instead of going to Panama
however, be bought a ticket to
New York and left New York in the
lurch and struck a bee-line for Buffalo.
From Buffalo McGaha made a tour
of Cauada aud from Canada back
down through the Central States to
Georgia. He could not resist the
temptation to revisit Honea Path.
McGaha is now in the toils awaiting
his trial.
The Anderson daily mail says that
McGaba surrendered to Sheriff Lyon
at Abbeville. When Sheriff Lyon
goes after them they usually Burronder.
It is not often, however, that
such as McGaha look the Sheriff up
to surrender to him. The Sheriff has
to do all the looking.

L. T. Cooper's theory regarding the
human stomach Is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
befcome chronically deranged by modern
conditions, and that sickness generally
is the result.
In a recent interview, while introducing
his medicine in a leading city,
Mr. Cooper said: "There is just one
way, in my opinion, to maintain general
health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast majority
of Americans today have weak,
flabby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations of
over-feeding and lack of exercise, until
today the entire civilized race Is affected.
This is the true cause of most
of the ill health of today. Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
Is once more brought back to normal
conditions.
"I am successful because my preparation
puts the stomach in sound condition,

Cooper's theory is Mr. E. M. Howey, oC
47% De Russey Street, Binghamton,
N. Y., who says: "I had stomach,
trouble for about six years. After eating,
I would become bloated and have
a distressed feeling for several hours.
This would be accompanied by heartburn,
and I reached the point where J
could not enjoy my meals at all.
"I tried different remedies in an effort
to find relief, but without success.
After taking three bottles of Cooper's
New Discovery I am entirely cured.
My stomach does not bother me in the
least, and I can eat anything I like.
I can cheerfully recommend Mr. Cooper's
medicine to anyone afflicted with,
stomach complaints."
Mr. Cooper's medicines are making
a remarkable record. We sell them.
