Two mules and a milch cow were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the barn and stables of Mr. Joel Fulmer, a prosperous young farmer, residing in the lower Fork at about 1 o'clock Sunday morning About <50 bushels of corn, together . with a lot of oats and other food, was [ consumed, the fire is thought to have been the workof an incendiary. Blood. hounds trailed a person from the rear end of the barn through the woods to . the trestle at Leapahrt's, where the trail was lost. Deputy Sheriff Miller r went to the scene early Sunday morning, and is i ti:l working cn the case. Tuere was no insurance and the loss falls heavily upon Mr. Fulmer. fr emcr will Be Served. Columbia Record, Monday. T. B. Ft.-lder, the Atlanta attorney. . will be arrested, charged with conspiracy to defraud the State of South > Carolina. The warrant, will be taken out in . Newberry count .' as soon as possible. The announcement that Col. Folder would be indicted follows the meeting Monday afternoon of the new dispensary commission which adopted a resolution directing the secretary of the commission to bring the proper indictment for conspiracy to defraud the State. While no definite statement was made early Monday afternoon the un der&tanding is that Col. Felder's indictment is in connection with the matters brought to the attention of the public in the "T. B." letters given out bv Governor Blease, in which "T. B."' was alleged to have sought to frame up a $o00,GU0 deal with "Hub:' Uvans in 191)5. Although Col. Felder did not put in I113 appearance Monday at the meeting of the commission there was a letter from him, stating that he would not appear and, in facetious vein, remarking that he would meet a committee with a committee from his side, etc., etc. W. A. Holman of Charleston wa9 Monday selected by the dispensary commission as its counsel. Fourteen Pardons In One Day. Governor Blease probably broke all South Carolina records on Monday, when he issued pardons and paroles fo fourteen prisoners in the State penitentiary. Of this number nine were serving life sentences. Most of those receiving clemency at the hands of the governor were negroes, and tjie chief grounds 110011 whinh tlio Mrftnnr acted were that the men released were sick and practically of no use to the St&te. !
