Not Fully Cured.
Spontaneous combustion in hay is
causing a number of fires throughout
the State, according to Insurance
Commissioner McMaster. He gives
the following instances:
A small store was recently burned
in Columbia, and it has been satisfactorily
established that it was due to
spontaneous combustion in several
bales of hay which the store-keeper
had purchased the day before. The
storekeeper on a Saturday morning
had purchased from a country wagon,
several bales of hay which had been
recently gathered. It was piled in the
back part of the store and the evening
sun beating on the rear end of the
store caused that part of the store to
be considerably heated. This seems
to have set the hay on fire, and about
4 o'clock next morning the flames
were discovered in that end of the
store. The building was consumed.
Mr. Boozer, who liyes near Cross
Hill, hauled in several loads of uncored
hay into his barn. A hand who
went to feed the stock found that the
hay was heated, but paid no attention
to it. At mid-day, when there was
no one about the barn, which was in a
field, the hay burst into flames and the
barn was consumed.
Mr. Lewis Cook, who lives near
Bishopvilh;, on the day before his fire,
- had hauled into his barn some nncnrea
oats in bundles. The next morning,
at feed time, the oats were fonnd to
be quite heated, bat no attention was
paid to it, and before 12 o'clock in the
day, flames had started in the oats and
the bam was oonsumed.

At a negro union meeting at Union
Baptist Church, in the Hollow Creek
section of thiB county on Sunday afternoon,
Alex Bodie, a negro, was 1
shot and instantly killed by two other
negroes, Thomas Robinson and Johnson
Robinson, the shooting taking
place at the well in the presence of a
large crowd. Immediately after the
shooting the two Robinsons made
their escape, but were captured and
lodged in jail on Monday by Sheriff
Sim J. Miller, who rushed to the scene ;
of the homicide.
About fifteen shots were fired, but
only four took effect. The killing is j
said to have been the outcome of a
general row in which, as usual, liquor
played its part.

Kidney Pills for beneficial effect"
They are a safe and reliable medicim

The S. A. L. Railway are now busy Pr'

convenient to their work. P*
There are also hundreds more of Co J?

the prices that are now being asked
for property in Columbia and suburbs,
