ANOTHER FIRE IN WALHALLA. Alfred L. Ballow. Confined In the Beard House, Loses Life-town not Held Responsible. Go Monday night last the guard house in Walhalla waa burned. About five j o'clock In the afternoon Alfred L. Bel low, white, was arrested by Marshal J. A. Keaton on the obarge of disorderly I conduot, aud in default of bond, he was con Oneil io a cell in thc north wost cor nor of the building. The marshal returned about sereu o'clock and gave Bellew hie supper. About ten o'clock the alarm of Are was given, and when parties first got there, the Aro had gained such headway j that it was impossible to open the cell j door. It seemed that the fire originated in the cell ia which he was confined. An inquest was held over the dead body Tuesday aftornoon by Coroner W. L. Harbin and a jury, with M. Nicholson foreman. The testimony of several wit-1 nesses was taken, aud the verdiot was | that Alfred L. Bellew came to his death from the off oct? of burns by a fire which 1 originated in the cell in whioh he was | confined. Noc?ame atttached to any one.

His charred remains wero buried Tues day afternoon. Ho leaves a wife and several ohildron to moura his untimely doath. The sad misfortune is very much deplored, but no censure attaches to any one.

SKA i H OF I>B. w. n. M'CI.UBE. It has bocome our sad duty to chron icle tho death of Dr. William Hannibal McClure, a worthy and beloved physician of Westminster, which occurred on Sun day morning, January 10, at 2.20 o'clock. Though tho sad news had boon expected i lie announcement of his death was a groat Shock to his friends. Tho cause of his death was Bright's disease, and in his last, illness he was confined to his bed only five or six days. Dr. McClure was in his 03d year, having beon born in Tan nin county, < J corgis, on Soptembor 20th, 1840. When quite a young man lie began tho study of medicine, and graduated from tho Atlanta Modioal Collcgo with first honors in surgory on March 4, 1875, in a class of thirty-eight. Ho was also awarded second honors in physics; He practicod medicluo in Townos county, near Uiawassee, for a great many years. Bosidos his recognized ability and suc cess as a physician lie was very popular in tho political arena, having served his county as a member of tho Legislature two terms. He was also elected Senator from tho 40th Congressional District, which ombrnccs tho counties of Townos, Kainui and Union, ono term. He carno to Westminster iu 1805 and enjoyed a lucrative practice uutil he was compelled to give up to some extout on account of ill health. He mot with ono or two acci dents while attending to professional calls, in which some bones wore broken, and on many occasions while adminis tering to his patients ho was himself enduring great pain from these injuries. Dr. McClure was married to Miss Ama zon I. Holmes, of Townes county, Gr?., August '?4, 1870, who, with one daugh ter, Mrs. Frank Cross, and two grand children, survives him.- Ho was a man of strict integrity, and his doath will bo felt both as a citizen aud a physician. Ho was a professor of religion, having united with the Baptist church at this placo on August 20, 1807. His funeral services were, held in tho Baptist church Monday afternoon, couductod by Rev. J. E. McManaway, assisted by Rovs. Vor million and DuBoso. His body was laid to rest, in the town cemetery with MaBonio honors. BIO ENTBBPBI8E CIIANOES IIANDS. Owing to a large and increasing bank ing business, and other enterprises which ho has on foot, Mr. Wm. P. Anderson has severed his connection as president of the Southern Shuttle and Bobbin Co., lie having sold his cut ire interest in tho plant to Mr. J. Elwood Cox, of High Point, N. C., who is now president and treasurer. Tho sale wns consummated last Thursday, 10th instant. Practically all tho stockholders sold to Mr. Cox. Those romaining will havo tho privilege Of selling or increasing their stock at a stockholders' meeting which will be hold on February 21st. Tho plant has boon a great BUCCOBB. Mr. Anderson lias made it add greatly to tho wealth, prosperity and population of Westminster, aside from the handsome dividends tho stock holders realized. Since tho mill was enlarged some two or .three years ago and tho capital stock increased, au annual dividend of 10 per cent has boon paid, The stockholders who sold did so at a nico promium.

Columbia, January 17.-Editors Koo woe Courier: These are lively tl mea at the Capital bow among the'law-makers, intermingled with an army of candidates for different positions. Tuesday next has been fixed to commence the elections. Will let you know later who are elected to nil all'the placee. I We hare just ended a hot fight over a bill to allow the people to vote on the matter of dispensary or no dispensary. I roted for the bill, but it failed to pass the House. The dispensary has many strong friends lp the House. Just at this time the fight is on the bill to give to the common schools ot the State $200,000, which is belog strongly opposed. I do not think lt wise to ap propriate very much money at this time 1 when the condition of our people ls con sidered. I think, judging from present indica tions, the soldiers' home bill will fail to pass, and I hope it will, so that the pen sion appropriation can be inoreased and allow the old soldiers to remain whore it suits them to stay and use tho money they have need of. lt seems to mo that it would be unfair to send old veterans off from their homer, and friends and put them in the proposed home, to feel that they were stamped as paupers. At. any rate, I intend to stand by tho vete rans of the State and get all the money for them that the State eau afford to ap propriate. Tho county government and jury laws have not come up yet. You will hoar from us when these matters are reached. Very little that would interest your readers is being done. We will not get down to regul?r work until tho oleotlons are all disposed'of.
