Phoenix Like She Has Risen From the Ashes a More Beautiful Town. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Since the disastrous fire which swept out the greater portion of our | town on the night of March 4th, our people, though having sustained a severe loss, have not lost faith in the advancement 01 i>roosiana s interest by remaining silent waiting for something to turn up, but those who were so unfortunate as to lose have entered with a spirit of progress by planning and rebuilding as rapidly as possible. The entire burnt district will be rebuilt, and when done, the town will be more beautiful than ever. R, F. Williams is having erected a two story brick building, which, when completed, will contain three large stores and a spacious hall above to be occupied by the various secret orders here. Dr. F. L SaDdel has about completed three stores erected of brick. This building is one story, but makes a pretty appearance. A two story brick building will be erected on the corner of State and Centre streets. This building will be owned by Dr. Sandel and occupied as a store on first story and a dwelling above. R. F. and D. K. Sox have each rebuilt frame stores and are now conducting their business as usual. Shuler & Lybrand were the first to rebuild their warehouse and their business is going right along as though no misfortune had ever overtaken them. \ The Duck Mills company will rebuild their tenant houses on State street of brick. This will add considerably to the appearance of the town and makes the risk of fire on the principal street lesB hazardous. A.:D. Shull has given out the contract for ten five room cottages to be erected on Meeting street. Everything is on the go here, and soon our town will be in better ehape and more beautiful than before the great fire. The Duck Mill company is now planning for a system of water works in their village. Everybody who owns property here sre somewhat interested in this enterprise and are willing to contribute largely in order to get some benefit in case of fire. Dr. Frank Geiger has about completed his beautiful home. This is one of our prettiest buildings, being of modern style and every possible convenience being added for the benefit of the doctor's family. Col. W. W. Hawes has purchased a beautiful cottage on Shuler street and after some additions and improvements the judge will be found at home. The few merchants who were not affected by the fire are now doing a thriving business.

Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hawes are j spending a short time in Florida. M. H. Witt is really the busiest man in town. He is one of the oldest residents, and in the recent fire his loss was very great, but the colonel is good natured and takes matters calmly, and soon one will not recognize any great chaDge in j "Witt's Corner,' because there will be but few changes in the rebuilding of the new from the old. Mrs. F. L. Sandel, in company with her sweet little daughter, Jewel, is spending Eistertide with her parents at Marion, S. C. The smallpox situation is not bo serious here?only one case?and that is confined in the mill district. J. E Boyer, who was a merchant here prior to the fire and in whose place of business the fire originated, was arrested on last Wednesday on the charge of arson. The preliminary hearing was held on Friday and the case against Boyer was dismissed by the Magistrate on the ground of lack of evidence sufficient to warrant the case being sent to the higher court. Col. P. H Nelson represented Boyer and detective Holloway and Solicitor Geo. Bell Timmerman were the prosecutors. This case has created unusual interest here and all kind of renorts have been circulated, so much L eo that detective Holloway, assisted by the Solicitor, has gotten additional evidence and had Boyer rearrested on the same charge. It is very likely that the preliminary hearing will be before a Magistrate at Lexington. Sheriff Corley took possession of Boyer on Saturday night and he is now at Lexington jail awaiting the preliminary hearing. D. Cornerstone Laying. To the Brethern of Boylston Lodge No. 123: I had the pleasure of representing our Lodge at the laying of the cornerstone of the Columbia College r?m U /inwrttw r>n rr jeotex.uay auauuuu. xuo uoicuiuujr wss performed by Grand Master John R. Bellinger, after which he made a short address and dealt chiefly with the scope and power of Masonry and its abundant embia e of creeds. He also brought out that the Masonic rite of laying the cornerstone could serve no nobler purpose than when it dedicated a building to education, and through this to the knowledge of God. 1 The interesting part of the cere' mony was when Grand Master Bellinger handed to Miss Martha Hyatt the silver trowel which was used in . laying the stone. This was given by Mr. F. H. Hyatt, one of the i donors to the college, and it will become the property of the board of - trustees. Yours fraternally, i L. Erskine Black. Columbia, S.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Heavy rain Friday evening accompanied by hail in some sections, but no damage done. The frost on Monday morning of last week did a great deal of damage in some near by sections. In this immediate section but very little damage was done. Farm work is a little late. Not more than one-fourth of the cotton crop is planted and there is some upland corn to plant yet with much bottom lands that have not been plowed at all yet. The prospects for a wheat crop are very poor. It has rust in many places. Miss Felda Steele spent Saturday and Sunday with friends in Batesburg. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton Hoiley, of Pelion, visited relatives in this section last week. Mrs. Dr. Hite aDd children visited at Mr. D. W. Site's, near Summit, Friday to Sunday. Mr. Geo. A. Shealy, of the Palmet to Collegiate Institute, visited his father, Mr. Geo. R. Sneaiy, last week. Mrs. Jas. E. Werte, of Fox, Saluda county, spent a couple days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L Eargle, recently. Mr. and Mrs. Jason I. Eargle, formally of Macon, Ga., but now of Columbia, S. C, visited relatives in this section last week. Mr. W. H. Hare was down near Count's Ferry last weak surveying land. He also made a business trip to Lexington. Mr. Allen B. Caughman has completed his studies in Newberry College and is now at the home of his father, Mr. J C. Caughman, near here. He will write his graduation address preparatory to the commencement early in June. The closing exercises of the Delmar Uollegiate Institute will be on .Friday, May 5th. The exercises will consist of songs, recitations and dialoges by the school and perhaps addresses by some prominent public speakers. The public is cordially invited. There will be a picnic dinner on the grounds and all are requested to come prepared to make that a success. Yesterday evening at the Lutheran parsonage, Delmar, S. C, Mr. Paul Harman and Miss Leila Shealy, both of Dupler, were united in marmiage. Rev. J. D. Shealy, officiating. Lloyd. April 24, 1905. School Closing. The Montmcrenci High School closed oa the 14th inst. The inclemency of the weather did not prevent the parents and happy children, whose minds were filled with all the joys that a picnic can bring forth, from assembling at Mr. James S. Keel's spring about one and one-half miies south from the school house. T. | Our Work rooms haw !

May success crown all their efforts for the upbuilding of boys and girls in the school room and in after life as useful men and women in whatever locality they chance to cast their lot in life, that they may be bright and shining lights in society. A Visitor. Black Creek Notes. To the Editor of the Pispatch: The fruit is all killed in this com munity. The farmers have finished planting cotton for this season. On account of planting his cotton too soon Mr. John Berry has had to replant. Mr. John Shumpert is adding an annex to his dwelling. Everybody should vote against the proposed new county. Mr. H. Busby visited Mr. C. B. Rish during Easter. Mr. Roof Kyzer visited Leesville on the 23rd inst. Tom Thumb. Special Tas. I wish to say that all school trustees and patrons of the various school districts of the county who desire to vote a special tax for school purposes must do so prior to June 1st, 1905, if such tax is to be collected and used this year. If any are thinking of this matter we urge you to act at once or you may be too late to receive benefit therefrom during scholastic year ending June 30th, 190G. Very respectfully, J. E.
