Petition Circulating in Sparta nburg
to Vote on Dispensary.
Spartanburg, March 14 ?A
petition whith the following wording
is being circulated here: "We, |
the undersigned (pmliGed votersof
Siinrlnnhot-f* 1 '
fully petition the county super-I
visor to order an election in said
county on the question of dispensary
or no dispensary.
An effort will will be made to
vote tho dispensary out, and the

county precincts to circnlute the
above petition. Tho law requires
one -fourth of the qualified voters
to sign before an electiou can
be ordered. The temperance people
and friends of prohibition are ,
rather confident that the number

tho cry of alarm rushed to the i
scene and every effort was madoji
to rouse the sleeping people, j
Meantime the flames had spread it
v.ith startling lapidity and the 1
occupants of the upper floors '
awoke to find themselves confronted
by a wall of flames on
nearly every side. Panicstricken
people rushed to the tire escapes
only to find them littered with
rubbish On some of ihe escapes \
the rubbish was so closely packed t
that it. became impossible to pass ,
certain points and men, women (
and children stood literally roast- ,
ing to death as the flames roared t
through windows around them. ,
One of tho escapes was manned ,
by Policeman .John .1 Dawn, who |
had run a plank across to the (
win low of an adjoining building. (
He rescued nearly a dozen persons ,
but finally fell 20 foot to the paved
yard and shattered bis shoulder.
Dozens of people were taken
from tho crowded fire escapes and
upper windows. By this time i;
tho building was a furnace and t
the rescues were effected in many c

of tho firemen. Lioutenant Bon* i

Morgan VV. Thrailkill will go
to tho penitentiary for life. On
the 27lh of last April he and his
ion Clarence Thrnilkill shot and
killed Bon Burton on tho street of
Monet tn, and Lecky Burtons
was shot down in the Burtons'
itore. Tho elder Thrailkill was
sonvioted and the case was appealed
to tho supremo court.
The decision which was filed
yesterday overruled all ( f the 11
abjections raised by the attorneys
for Mia defendant, and the lattir
is ordered to tho penitentiary for
life. The younger Thrailkill's
2sso has not been disposed of.
It is sill fresh in tho memory of
the readers of TheStato thut Morgan
and Cluranco Thrailkill rode
up to tho Burtons' store and tried
to get a pistol which had been
pawned by a negro. A dispute
arose, and Lecky Burton was
shot down without warning. Ben
Burton was shot and killed without
knowing who killed him, while
he was on his wuy to tho place
where his brother lay desperately
wounded.?The Stale.
