There was a big fire in Charlotte Saturday night which destroyed the Johnson building on the corner of Tryon and Fourth streets, badly damaged the National Bank skyscraper and the rear of the old Observer build ing. Events have been occurring too rapidly during the past week for a small weekly to give a detailed account. It is the aim ot this paper, however, to do the best it can to give those of our readers who do not get a daily paper the really important news leaving out the unimportant details. Mr. M. H. Tadlock's team of mules ran away near his home three miles east of town Saturday. The wagon went directly ftVPr two of thp cHarlo trooc in his yard, and the. mules were caught about a half mile away down in a swamp. No one was hurt. Every stranger who comes to town is eyed with more than ordinary curiosity since the recent break with Germany. Monday a German who said he was from New York was here arranging for the> shipping of butter and eggs to New York. He was regarded with curiosity by those who learned that he was born in Germany. He said however, that he had his naturalization papers, which makes him a citizen of the United States Farmer's Meeting Here next Tuesday Every one realizing the necessity of forming an Association of Cantaloupe and Watermelon planters: it has beer, arranged to hold a meeting in the Masonic Hall, Pageland.

United States Waits for Germany to Start Something Washington, Feb. 5.?While he United States stands before he world court of public opinon in the anxious waiting pe iod which will determine peace >r war with Germany, President Wilson is determined that there thall be no word or deed to merit a reproach, even from jermany herself. Nothing is to be dope which s not fully justified by the law )f Nations and humanity; noth ng is to be done for expediency; lothing is to clone which is not eg-al and just With a hope for peace and a eadiness to meet war if it must >e, the President has made it dear to all his officials that the :ourse of the United States, dificult us it is, must be entirely )eyond criticism. / I - -*3fasb- - I o Among the near accidents 1 should be numbered Mr. H. W. Funderburk's failure to use the gallon of gasoline which he pur chased for the purpose in his 1 oil heater. For a few days atter Mr. Vunderburk and Mr. Luke Davis moved their goods into r the building they now occupy ^ they used an oil heater to warm by. The oil gave out and Mr. r Funderburk went for more. He ( hasn't told where his mind was ) at the time, but he went to J. D. t Redfearn's place and bought a i gallon of gasoline. Fortunately 1 Mr. Davis discoverod the mistake before it was poured into the heater: Mr. Funderburk was i probably thinking about some < of the good ladies, * Mr. M. M. Mullis says it was good fun to see Ed Agerton run on his hands and knees last Fri day afternoon when the smoke , stack at his saw mill fell. The 1 mill is located on Mr. John Rob- ( ertson's farm three miles east ot Pageland. Ed had gone down ( there and was sitting in a sheltered nook right up close to the fire under the boiler. Friday J was the day the wind blew so hard and cold, you remember, i The other boys were trying to work while Ed tried to keep J warm. The wind blew the smoke stack down, and the noise aoove ins head caused Ed ; to think the boiler had exploded. There was no time to loose, so he pulled open the gasoline feed < and went directly into high gear ] on his knees and hands. He stopped before he ran over the ^ running saw, and consequently , no damage was done except to his knees and mental equilib } rium. ( Mr. H. M. Simpson walks on I two artificial legs, but he doesn't believe a man should beg because he is crippled. He runs a , shoe shop and peanut parcher, , and makes his living. A year or two ago .he was at wcrk in a shoe shop in the basement cf one of the building^ at-Hamlet? J One day there were six one-leg- ! ged men in town at one time, all on crutches and all begging. Three of them were walking \ down street together when Hill i Atkinson hollowed across the ! street, "Go down in the base ment and you'll find a man with i both legs off." After a while one of the cripples went down to the shoe shop and asked for i an odd shoe. Mr. Simpson told s him he didn't have any odd shoes. Then he i urm?H tr? iho I fellow and asked, "Why don't ] you go to work?" The fellow J gave the usual answer, "There is nothing I can do." Mr. Simp t son who was standing at his < bench said, "1 am working ev- i Noti To my friends and custom stock of coffins and caskets land Mercantile Co. and I ? patronage in the future. 1 liberal patronage they have promise you the same fair, sq always received at our hands etc. at the old prices and will I can.
