ANDERSON'S HOSPITAL DC H.N'S.
Dives of .Many Cal lents ju Danger.
No Loss ol' Life.
Anderson, April '?ii. Tho Ander
son County Hospital, a tbreo-story
brich building constructed fout
yen rs ago al a cost of $50,000, was
completely destroyed by Uro late.(lils,
afternoon.. Tho lire, it .i'.v stated,

an oil wagon driver, near a can of
kerosene, which ho bad just depos
ited on the side porch. Tho kero
sene was Ignited and a tank of gaso
llno nearby exploded, throwing
Hames In every direction.
The negro orderly was the first to
discover the Ure and ho hurriedly In
formed the superintendent, Miss
lites1, who, in a calm and composed
manner, instructed tho nurses to
help her get the patients out Of the
building.
Pat lents Hurriedly Removed.
All the patients who wero well
enough to walk were led from their
beds to the elevator and were taken
to the ground In safety, ttix other
patients, who had undergone opera
tions In the last day or so, were loo
weah lo help themselves, and these
were taken up bodily and removed
to safety. All of these were carried
to tho ground by ladders put up lo
the second story windows. The
flames so rapidly spread over the
building thal no time was given the
rescuers to even throw bed clothes
around tho patients as they passed
them through tho windows. Four
patients were brought to the ground
in a nude condition.
Miss .lanie Langley, ol' Mount Car
mel, a nurse who was operated on
this morning and who occupied a
room on tho second floor in (lie rear
ol' ?lie building, narrowly escaped be
ing burned lo death, she screamed
tor help and Dr. I*co Sanders and
("harley Sanders attempted to reach
her room through I lie hall, which
was in a blaze.
As (lie men opened thc door lead
ing to thc room of tho patient the
Hames burst through and drove them
hack. They hurried to tho ground,
and hy means Of a ladder reached ?1
window of the room, and through
th-' window tho very ill lady was
taken tn safety. A few minutes' de
lay would have been fatal.
Judge W. F. Cox. who was operat
ed on yesterday, was taken from a
second story window, as were Mr
J. H. Ferguson. Mrs. Bush
Mrs. E. K. Todd, Miss Corry
Cauley and Miss Langlea .N!it

did not add to thc seriousness of net
ease, however, as she was in a con
dition past appreciating Hie ex< ito
nient.
A negi o woman bad just been
taken off the operating table and had
not recovered from the anaesthesia.
In an unconscious condition she was
removed to safety. Other patients
in tho hospital at the time were Mrs.
.lanie Hancock, Mrs. A. C. Sloan. I).
.1. Watson and 'Our negro women.
For a time it was feared that Mrs.
Hancock had lost her Ufo in the
Mantes, as sin- could not bc located,
ll developed later that she saw the
Hames and. although in a sick and
weak conditio:!, she managed to es
cape on fool and proceeded to a
bouse n.-\t door, whore she was
found after a search.
Heroism of Miss Ftes.
An incident of the fire was when
Miss Ftes, the superintendent, held
a ladder in her ..rms to lengthen it
to enable n man lo gel in a window
on the second door lo rescue somo of
the patients. This lady', with excep
tional strength, held the ladder by
herself as. the rescuer and patients
were brought down tho ladder lo tho
?round.
Two patients, Mrs. J, 1?. Massey
and Mrs. Fannie Couch, had been
dismissed from tho hospital and had
not gotten out of sight of the build
ing when tho Uro was discovered.
In all,'there woro twelve patlonts
In the building, and every one of
thom was rescued and no serious ef
fect upon their condition is antici
pated from tho fire. .
A.s the roof of tho handsome build
ing was falling in, substantial busi
ness men gathered on tho green park
way in front of the building and
discussed plans to rebuild the* hos
pital nt once. Tho building was
made possible four years ago by pub
lic subscriptions from rich and poor
all over Anderson county. Subscrip
tions will likely como in voluntarily
i?t onco and those, with the ? 2 7,000
Insurance carried on tho building
and equipment, means that Ander
son county will soon have another
hospital as good, or better than the
one burned to-day.
Water Pressure IJOW.
Tile Ure department did good, ef
fective work, but tho water pressure
was poor. Five streams played <>:i
ibu (lames, and this ordinarily
should have boon su tilden I lo check
tho (lames so that Ibo patients cou pl
he removed In a comfortable way.
The water roaching tho hospital
came through a tour-inch main, and
this was inad?quate. Then, loo. one
of the mains was out of commission
for a while, due to some traction
company construction work.
Miss Utes, the su perint enden I, offi
cially reported to H. S. Hlgon, tho
president, to-night that the fire was
caused from a lighted match thrown
near tho kerosene can deposited on
tho porch. Tho man who threw the
match ls known to the officials of
the hospital, but it cannot bo learned
to-night whether or not there will be
any ?nove made to prosecute bim. lt
is believed hy everybody, of course,
that tho man threw tho match
thoughtlessly and carelessly, and not
with any evil intent.
J, W. Jordan, a well known den

had an operation for his kidney

West Fifth avenue between 11th and
14th streets, razing ll homes and
causing a loss estimated between

Francis Dyke Acland, parliamen

"No stich complaint, has.been re

wo must trust to tho good sense of
the American people, and wo do not
desire to interfere without absolute

In answer to previous queries, Mr.

"I am aol aware of tho precise

In response to the suggestion from

t Greenville Piedmont.)
Tho verdict of guilty returned by
tile? jury in the United States District
Court last evening against the Pal
mers and Lou Reicher is a distinct re
buke for Governor Blense, who par
doned these people after they had
served a short timo for their crime.
A*, is known, J. H. Palmer, Charles
IJ. Palmer, his son, Lou Belcher, his
daughter, and Robert Belcher, Iiis
grandson, were tried in tho State
Court at Walhalla for thc murder of
W. B. F. Corbin, a revenue officer.
All four were convicted. J. B. Pal
mor was sentenced to servo six years
in the penitentiary. Lou Melcher eight
years, Charles Palmer seven years
and Robert Belcher Ufo. J. B, Pal
mer's SCUtenco was suspended be
cause of his old age.
Covernor Blense Inst year commut
ed the sen i onces of Lon Belcher and
Charles li. Palmer from eight, and
seven years respectively to twenty
two mont lis, which time they had
served. As soon as this action was
taken hy the Covernor, the Federal
go vern men I took the matter up, be
lug unwilling to see those who had a
hand in the slaying'of a Fed- ?*al olll
cial gol off so lightly hy reason of
i he act lon ol' a Governor,
And now I h ese parties have been
convicted In the Federal Court and
will have to serve their sentences any
way. Thal twelve men of tho State
deeided they had ?not been punished
sufllcionlly is a rebuke for Mr. Please,
Tho question naturally arises: Have
all of his pardons been granted as
carelessly as this one? If lt were
possible for twelve men to pass upon
each of the pardons granted by the
Chief Executive how many of them
would bo approved?
As we seo lt, tho action taken by
the Federal government in this case,
which was exceedingly unusual, was
a rebuke to the Governor and tho
verdict of twolve citizens of tho State
that these peoplo had not boen suffi
ciently punished was an oven greater
one.

Communication Regarding Poultry
Addressed to
Muting Hun leghorns to Produce
Simpe ami Color. "
(B. E. Craig, Davis City, Iowa, in
Poultry ideas.)
In mating buff brood?,-as well ns
all other varieties of poultry, you
must keep shape constantly In mind,
as shape makes tho breed and color
tho variety. After you have picked
out your very best specimens, you,
must then know how to mate thom,
or you may go backward Instead of
improving your flock. I have known
breeders of several years' experience
io depend solely on the score cards
for tho mating of their breeders.
While il looks reasonable that like
ought to beget Uko i have seen
this fall. In mating Leghorns. If
you want lo be among tho leading
winners at tho prominent shows, you
must have your male well up on legs, ;
as a short-legged malo stands but lit
tle chance ot winning. Xext in im
portance is his headgear, or comb,
and ear lobes. Have comb to staijj^
erect, with well defined points and
free from thumb marks, extending
straight back from base of comb.
For comb to be set on beul accord
ing to tho new standard, have third
point from front of comb directly
over the eye. While some breeders
have 5-poltvt comb fad, I much pre
fer a I or G-uolnt comb, free from
thumb marks, and set well on head,
as to have a 5-point comb wPh
thumb marks and rear lopped ha'f
over. The wattles should be medium
In size and tho same length. Ear
lobes are a very Important part.
Choose as white an oar lobe -as pos
sible, but do not use a malo show
ing indications of the white running
in the face, as this ls very hard to
stamp out after <once established.
While red is very objectionable in
the ear lobes of the Leghorn, I much
prefer red in lobes than for white to
run in face. The tall comes next in
Importance in ?the Mediterranean
class. In the Leghorn choose a bird
willi a fully furnished, well-spread
tail. Nothing looks more disagree
able to a Leghorn fancier than to
have a nice male with a pinched tall
and hardly enough tall coverts to
cover base of tall. Choose your malo
with as low a tall as possible, that ls,
4 0 degrees ls good breeding shape,
hut I much prefer a Ifi-degree shap
ed tail, fully furnished and well
spread, than a 10-dcgreo pinched

tall. The 'body shape should stand
almost horizontal, or on a level.
' In mating buff color to produce
No. 1 exhibition will always demand
the shill of the most ardont fancier,
and there ls a wide variation between
Judges as to what ls tho exact color.
Tho male hack lo or neck feathers,
back and saddle feathers and wing
bow should bo of an oven color,
without light shafting or a tendency
of red on wing bows. I much pre
fer a dark even-colored malo to a
soft-colored bird with light shafting |
and light under color. The wing
and tall should bo round, but black.
Smut or pepper, as you might torin
it. is much preferred to white. Tho
breast ol' tho male should correspond
with your female body, and your fe
male nock color should, as near as
possible, correspond with the male's
nock, back and saddlo feathers, and
if you mate your matings in this
manner you can depend on even
colored chicks. While somo breed
ers claim tho male stamps color and
tho female shape, I depend on equal
chances from both, and while the
male is half the flock, I pay moro
attention to tho malo and then
choose females to match. A. female
with good long back and a well
spread tall is a great asset to any ?
breeder's yard. I have found that
you can make greater Improvements
by using a double mating. In most
ail varieties use your coarser females
that stand well up on legs, with
combs that stand as near erect as
possible, to mate for your chick mat
ing, and usc your finer or first-class
exhibition females for your pullet
mating, and you will seo groat Im
provement.

strong chicks nnd we may still go a
little farther back and say have good
strong breeding birds that will pro
duce eggs that will produpe chicks
that will live. Strong vitality is es
sential and should bo carefully look
ed aftor. If you pick your breeding
birds close and try to got only birds
with extra good vitality and health,
you will find you will have enough
trouble as it ls. It is bad policy to
select birds'for the breeding pens
that have had disease or lu other
words a "cured bird."
There are four essentials that the
Poultry raiser must keep In mind:
Vitality, pure food, sanitation and
proper care or treatment. How dis
couraging it is to batch out a flock
of chicks that look healthy and good
for tho first week or ten days and
then have them die off day by day
hntil the entire Hock has perished.
If a chick has strong vitality when
hatched, with a little care and care
ful attention the first few weeks of
its lifo you will not have much trou
ble to raise it. One strong chick is
worth one hundred weakly ones.
lt is likely you can raise some of tho
weak ones up until they p^t nearly
grown or possibly matured, but they
are worthless as breeders or egg pro
ducers.
I hopo that every reader of this
paper will allow nothing but good, '
strong, healthy birds to stay in thei'
breeding pens, and if they have vi
tality and aro really vigorous and
healthy lt will mean success to you. v
Packing Eggs for Hatching.
As there are a great many ama
teur breeders who do not know how
to pack eggs, we will give a good
and safe way to pack them, and
they can bo shipped any distance
without breaking. We have shipped
a good many eggs this way with
groat success. Always uso a 'basket, ^
for having a handle, they aro care
fully handled by the expressman.
First, line tho bottom, and wrap each
ogg in a quantity of paper. Place
them'in rows across tho bottom,
when you have the bottom filled,
stuff In between each egg excelsior.
Then place an Inch of excelsior on
top, and repeat the operation for the
next story. When you have tho bas
ket filled, place about three inches of
excelsior on lop and press down,
cover tho basket over with muslin,
sowing around tho sides. Don't for
get to mark plainly "Eggs for
Hatching; Handle with Care." This
is ono of tho most convenient modes
pf packing eggs, and thoro'is no dan
ger of eggs getting out of place, and
does not coat much. Try this way of
packing4 eggs aifd you will receive
no complaints and your customers
I will have good success in hatching.
