Banks, living about ?even miles 1 North of Cfltndeu, liad the minfor- 1 tune to lose his entire household effects, including what money he had saved, by fire, lie and his family were absent at the time, having left home about dark, atter putting au the fire out, and as the house was burned about 8 o'clock it is supposed 1 to have been set on fire. I The Way They Do It Reader, it would prove interesting as well as profitable for you to 1 carefully peruse the big advertisement of that staunch old firm of j Baura Bros., in our paper to day, '1 hey advertise the most extensive stock of general merchandise to be found in the up country. Bauni Bros., have been engaged in business iu Camden fur upwards of I thirty-eight years, and by their integrity, pluck and energy, have built ^ lip a trade, both retad and wholesale, r which might well excite the envy of | a much larger city. They buy in large quantities from first hands !or cash, and can afford to give their customers bargaius. To read tl.eir advertisement, the j tale is not half told. It would he J necessary for you to visit their immense establishment to understand j and appreciate tbe magnitude of! their tremendous business and the: way they do it. They employ a! corps of salesmen, whom they nev<rj dismiss dmlng the summer month, j for they do a steady, solid business j nil the year round. Seeing is be-, lieving. Don't take our word for it, tut go and see for yourself. A Destructive Conflagration. On yesterday morning about halfpast one o'clock the alarm of tire was ! Bounded, and Mr. S. 11. Latham's stables, situated in the rear of the Latham House, was found to be on fire. The Stables were full of stock? horses, mules and catt'e. The fire j had made such headway that check-| ing it wns out of the question, and j every effort was directed towards' saving the stock and preventing the j spread of the flames. The fire spread no rapidly and the heat was so intense, it was impossible to gain access to a number of the horses and cuttle, but all that conM be reached wire released and driven out. me; number that perished win the flames i are estimated at fourteen bead of j horses, seven of whieh belonged to j Col. Broaddus, of Sumter, five to Mr. j Latham, one to Mr. T. K. E. Be-1 thune, of Lvnchwood, and one to .Mr. j W.J. Rollings, of B sliopville. also , six head of cattle, including the fine Rolstein bull belonging to Mr. J. C. Man. The remainder of the cattle belonged to Mr. Latham. Mr. J.atlmm had a large amount of corn, oats, hay. &c , valued at not , less than ?1,000. together with] several valuable vehicles, all his bar. ness, &c., all of which was consumed. The stables belonging to Mr. M. Tobias, near by, caught fire and was consumed. Fortunately the wind was perfectly calm at the time, and through the heroic exertions of Ce fire department and citizens the fircj was prevented doing further damage. I 'J'l e amount of Col. Broaddns* loss we have not been able to ascertain. Mr. Latham's loss will probably not fall short of $1,500 or $5,U00 We understand he had insurance to the amount of S2.O00 on the bui dinir. which was comparatively new and i contained all the modem improve-; moots. Mr. Latham and Col. Brouddus have the sympathies of oar entire community in their severe less. 'ol. Broaddus, we are soiry to say. is quite ill. and has been tor some time. Mr. Albert Able.in employee of ATr Latham, wlio s opt iu the stable, i-arne very near being1 consumed by the flaues, baiely escaping iu h s night clotiies. The origin of the fire ia unknown, but Mr. Latham thinks it was t ie work of an incendiary. "The Old Reliable." Tliron'jh storm and tempest, and in the sunshine of prosperity, the tried old firm of Bantu Bros. 1ms stood firm as a rock in Camden This, the fall of 1^90, finds them a?;a n in the lead, marching under their old and tried banner?low I rices and honest dealings Never more vatied and cheaper lot of goods have M'en br. light to our markets than they have brought this fall. They intend to keep their hig trade and enviable reputation. Go t> see them and be satisfied. So says the \si 11 wn SnitthTille Items Fmithvillr, S. C., Nor. Ctli, '90 Mr. Kditou:?The people of thin neighborhood have not much cause to complain of this year's harvest. Many of the farmers have paid up and are no* out of debt, and many of them still have a great deal of cotton in the fields. The weather here, within the past few days, has been very favorable for gathering of crops, and the farmers are not slow in taking advantage of it. Our Graded School is progressing tinelv m-der the management of the Principal. Mr. W. A. Massebean. who rendered such good service here last year. It will be to the interest of this neighborhood to retain him as Principal, as long as possible. The Young Ladies' Missionary Society of Smithville, gave a tea party at IK liiitton s residence a 1 few davs since, which was a great < success. The ladies cleared something over thirty-six dollars. The 1 pro?ramn.e was nicely arranged. We are now having a lull in po'i- 1 tics since the big election has come off. Only now then you come across , a heated discussion on the subject. Smithville was nearly all for Tillman. Miss A'icc Allen is visiting relatives and friends in Sumter. Miss .Tame Smith of Camden spent , j' me time with relatives in tins neighborhood. C. 1 Plenty Points If you would only read our locals, you certainly can not make a mistake, for we always advise you to go ' lo Ban in l<ros. lor t.lie best assorted ' stock. This is the best point we cau ^ive you. 1 Begin Early. Now is a good time to begin the . plan and preparation of the crop of , 1891, if it has not already been begun. Corn will, in all probability, be very lrgb next year, consequently prepare for early crops of barley, rye, oats and corn. Get to the crops of ?1891 as soon as you can, cr rather arrange to eet it to you as early as possibla "Take no thought of tl'e morrow" does net apply to the business of to day. Wonderful. Snch r stook of clothing for "M< n and Boys" as we have seen at the the "old reliable" Baura Bros' can only be found in a big c.ty. Tiie like lias never been seen in Camden before.
