Until now I have paid no attention to the various "campaign reports." but I find one gaining pretty wide circulation in the last few days that must be answered. On account of the fact that Mr. Cantrell and I agreed not to make any further per sonal canvassing tour of the county, it becomes necessary for me to use the public, press to reach the people with my answer. The report Is, that If I am elected Superintendent of Education others will run the office for me. This is absolutely false, for I have never thught of allowing such a thing. On the other hand, if elected, I shall give the o??ee and schools my strict PERSONAL attention, and will be Superintendent of Education in name and in fact, subject to no person, faction, nor party, but a servant of the whole people. I wish to say to the voters of Oco nee. If lt ls necessary for me to stoop to falsehood to be elected, I must and ought to fall, for truth ls one of the first qualities that one should possess to fill this position. I have not, nor will I, throw any reflections, by reports or otherwise, upon my opponent, and I do not want my friends to do it. 1 am running this race upon my merits and not his de merits. If I have not merits enough to win, then I ought to be defeated. Yours very truly, Wade C. Hughs. September 1st, 1908. FIERCE FIRE AT NEW ORLEANS. Picnic Costs the City Upwards of Two Million Dollars. New Orleans, La., Aug. 31.-Fire, which broke out in the center of the commercial district here this after noon, swept over portions of three blocks, destroying a large number of wholesale houses, manufacturing plants and small stores. Originating at Bionville and Chartres streets, the flames worked their way north as far as Conti street nnd west toward Royal, bringing about a property loss of between pne and two million dollars before they were finally sub dued. Several etrcumstanc.es combined to give the fire ?; headway which proved hard to overcome. At the time the alarm was'turned In, shortly before 3 D'clock, the New Orleans firemen were In the midst of their annual picnic at a suburban park and the engines and patrols responded with a mere handful of men. lt was fully an hour before the department was In a posi tion to make anything like a success ful fight against the fire, and even then the handicap against lt was add ed to by an inadequate supply of water. The fire was one of the most spec tacular that has occurred In New Or leans during recent years. The sec tion devastated was made up largely of old buildings, some over half a century In use. They proved like so much tinder to the flames, nnd fan ned by a high wind, the fire made rapid progress. Two warehouses, filled with wine and liquors, were among the build ings destroyed by the fire. As thoy burned the barrels of whiskey nnd brandy exploded with thunderous roars which could be heard for seve ral blocks, and which shook the walls of adjoining buildings and endanger ed the lives of firemen engaged In fighting the flames. It was not until several hours had elapsed flint the fire was gotten under control, and even then it continued to burn well into the night. T. E. ALEXANDER. The Land Man WALHALLA. S. C.

They preserve the building too, by keeping out damp ness: so if you want a thoroughly cozy nome in winter, and a'cool house in summer, you can't do better than see that Cortright Shingles* are used for the covering.
