Bev. Gilbert Voight.
| . The Rev. Gilbert Voight, professor
of English and German, in Newberry
College, filled the pulpit in St.
J Stephen's church on Sunday morn- j
ing. Rev. Mr. voignt is a young |
preacher of force and is possessed of
great powers of eloquence. He is a
son of Dr. A. G. Voight, dean of the
i Lutheran seminary at Mfc Pleasant.
He made a profound impression upon
all who heard him.
Christmas at Piatt's.
Everything is in readiness for the
yuletide at Win. Piatt & Son's, Columbia.
Everybody is in a rush and
the goods that are being wrapped up
and sent out by special carriers indicate
that Piatt & Son have what the
shoppers want. This is right, for this
very reliable firm always has the best
of everything, not only at Christmas,
, but every day in the year. It you
would be wise, visit Wm. Piatt & Sons
while the rush is on.
Lots of Grain Being Sowed.
Farmers attending the meeting of
the county union on Saturday from
nearly every section of the county,
gave out the information that the i
farmers are sowing more small grain
this fall than ever before. This is a
healthy sign, and shows conclusively
that the farmers of this county have
made up their minds to raise their
home supplies and diversify their '
crops. j
Capt. 2?inus to Retire. j
a onur.iai from Washington says: |

Capt. Josiah C. Minus, U. S. army, j

Swansea, the beautiful and growing

county, was visited yesterday morning
by the most serious fire in its
history. About 3 o'clock fire was discovered
in the office of the large
st Te building of Messrs. J. W. & R.
L. Lybrand, and it was not long before
the whole building was enveloped
with flames which rapidly spread to
the adjoining buildings, and before
the fire was checked eight buildings
were destroyed, and several others
were badly damaged.
Particulars are meagre, but from
the information received here, the
following buildings were totally destrovpd:
w-^J ~?
Swansea Drug Company, J. W. & I
R. L. Lybrand, general merchandise;
Drs. Brooker, drug store; Henry
Sharp, beef market, etc.; M. L. Williams,
groceries; A restaurant owned
by J. W. & R. L. Lybrand; The K P
lodge hall, etc. The new building of
the Bank of Swansea was badly damaged,
the whole front being almost
totally ruined. The large store of
Reynolds & Craft, together with the
Swansea hotel, narrowly escaped the
flames.
The origin of the Are is unknown.
The estimated losses, with the
amount of insurance, cannot be learned,
but it will undoubtedly be heavy,
and, coming just at tins season wn^-n
the merchants were prepared for a
large Christmas trade, makes it doubly
heavy.
We extend sympathy to cur sister
town, in the loss it has sustained, but
phoenix like, she will rise from her
ashoed, a more beautiful and prosperous
town.
Columbia Grocery Co.
The Columbia Grocery Company,
located on the corner of Main and
Assembly streets, in Columbia, has
a full stock of everything first class in
the grocery line. Mr. S. L. Mont
gomery is general manager and is a
