WHAT CAUSED FIRE
REPORT MADE ON BURNING AT
STATE COLORED COLLEGE.
Inspector Wharton and Chief of
Fire Department Dibble, Claim
Fire Was Caused by Bad Fine.
Insurance Commissioner McMas
ter is of the opinion that the fire
?which destroyed the dormitory and
dining room of the State Colored
'College at Orangeburg several weeks
ago was caused by a defective flue
in that the flue, according to reports
?ade by the inspector, show that the
flue in the building was only one
brick thick. A report has been
filed with the commissioner by B.
A. Wharton, inspector of the insur
ance department, and T. O. Dibble,
chief of the fire department of Or
angeburg.
In his report Mr. Dibble says:
'*? beg to recommend that you re
quest the trustees of this institu
tion that they insist that equipment
sad hydrants placed on this campus
for fire protection be used for no
ether purpose, and that a regular
fire squad be organized and drilled
in the use of all appliances; that a
regular fire drill be required in or
der to empty buildings promptly
and without panic in case of fire and
sufficient fire escapes be provided to
ail buildings; that hereafter all
buildings to be erected be of brick
and in accordance with the standard
of the S. E. U. A."
By the report of Inspector Whar
ton it is shown that a thorough in
vestigation of the fire has been made.
The cause is fixed as being a defec
tive flue. Inspector Wharton says.
"I feel it my duty to call atten
tion to the fact that most, if not
ail the public buildings in South
Carolina, are more or less Improp
erly constructed, either as to con
struction or heating arrangements or
fire escapes or fire extinguishers, and
I would for this reason suggest that
the time is now ripe for the State
of South Carolina to adopt a build
ing code at least for all public build
ings, and still better, for the entire
Stote at large, but certainly for the
public buildings erected in the
State. The loss of money to the
State of South Carolina this year
teom fire caused from improper con
struction should be presented to
wery law-maker in such a manner as
to convince them of the great need
of a building code, at least for all
public buildings, if not for the en
tire State at large. The benefit de
rived from a reduction in insur
ance rates in South Carolina from
the adoption of a building code
would be the saving of thousands of
dollars annually, besi'es givin? bet
ter protection from fire causes to the
property owners all over the State.'
In his annual report to the Leg
islature, Commissioner McMaster will
recommend a law to govern the con ?
struction of chimneys to prevent such
conflagrations.
Inspector Wharton says in his re
port in part: "You will appreciate
the fact that in most cases to at
tempt to establish the origin or cause
^of a fire after a total destruction
of a building by fire is a difficult
problem. However, in this case
sufficient evidence could be had from
"the five flues yet stanling to deter
mine and establish the cause of the
fire beyond any and all reasonable
doubt. After going over the situa
tion most carefully and making dill
gent inquiry of those about the
building on the night of the fire as
to what the conditions were in the
building prior to the fire, with the
result that the mystery was no near
er solved than when I first went to
the burned building. I was deter
mined to locate the cause If possi
ble. I discovered directly in the
vicinity where all parties agree that
the fire started, what I thought and
was satified was a defective flue.
This was at a poir' in the flue be
tween the celling of the first floor
and the flooring of the second floor.
The next point was to satisfy my
self as to whether or not it was a
defective flue."
Continuing, the inspector says,
after telling of the difficulty In
re-iching the standing chimney, and
?f calling upon Chief Dibble for as
sistance, that he found the follow
hag condition: "The accumulation
of soot, the appearance of Are hav
img passed thrtough from the tn
Si 'e of the flue to the outside of
*fee flue and in and between the
wall of the ceiling and flooring of
ffce first and second floor."
When the point of the flue was
finally reached by knocking one
?rick off at a time, the bricks show
ed that there was no mortar be
tween them, according to the in
spector, and continuing, he says:
"But it was plainly shown that fire
and smoke had been passing through
between the brick in the wall be
Irwen the celling and flooring, as
above stated, and there is no tell
ing how long this condition ha i
eocisted.
"This Investigation was moBt
ftorough, and I unhesitatingly an 1
without doubt In my mind say that
the cause of the fire was a defec
tive flue."
The report continues: "Further,"
the inspector says, "I feel it my du
ty in this report also to have a
word to Bay as to the construction
of the flues in this erlieg". I regard
all the flues of this building Improp
erly constructed. These were larg
er and tall flues with the thickness
of the wall,, only four inches."
Chief Dibble, after stating that
the Gamwell Fire Ahirm system is
osel in giving fire alarms, says:
"This institution and Claflin Uni
versity having no alarm brixes, we
gave them the same number on our
transmitting board and furnished
eards to them so thai there would
be no delay In case of fire. I ex
plained the system to Mr. Whar
WINS STATE CORN PRIZE.
Mr. James M. Moss, of Cameron, a
Model Farmer.
Mr. James M. Moss, who lives in
the Cameron section, was awarded
the first prize of $200 by the State
corn contest commission, which met
a few day3 ago. His yield was 500.5
bushels on five acres. He made
72.2 points out of the possible 100.
In speaking of Mr. Moss the St. Mat
thews correspondent of The News
and Courier says:
"Mr. Moss is an illustration of
the fact that it is the man behind
the gun that counts. His present
plantation, which is acknowledged
to be one of the most fertile and
productive in the entire State, and
which included the land on which
the corn was planted, was acknowl
edged to be one of the poorest plan
tations in this section when Mr. Moss
purchased it years ago. The fer
tility of this land is due to the fact
that he uses quantities of home
made compost and rotates his crops.
His farm is also thoroughly drain
ed by underground tiling, and is now
a garden spot and in every sense
of the word a model farm. He not
only raises all of his supplies, but
derives a handsome profit from the
sale of asparagus, corn, wheat, oats
and hay, cotton and also hogs, sheep
and cattle.
"Mr. Moss is one of the few farm
ers who keep a detailed book ac
count of the cost of every crop he
raises. There is a big deeand In
various sections for his seed oats,
cotton seed, and seed of other of
his farm crops. Mr. Moss is now a
man of considerable means. He has
a large family of boys and girls, to
whom he has given the very best
college educations; all of which goes
to prove that with the right man
farm life In South Carolina is not
only a most independent life, but
also a most remunerative one."
WHISKEY BIOS OPENED.
Some One Hundred Bids Were
Filed With Board.
The county dispensary board
Wednesday opened the bids for the
sale of the whiskey which still is
on hand at the county dispensary
warehouse. There were about 100
bids, ranging all the way from the
smallest amounts which would un
disposed of to bids by persons de
siring barrel lots. Ike amount biu
for will not clear the stock now on
hand and'it will be necessary to ad
vertise for bids again and hold
another sale. The stock on hand
before the sale was about $7,000
worth of whiskey and the bids will
not reduce the stock over $2,50u
or $3,000.
The law required that the bi-Is
oe made out in triplicate and that
jl copy be fitej at the office of the
county auditor, county clerk or court
ana the dispensary board. A num
jer of the bidders failed to comply
.vith these rules, thereby debarring
themselves from a chance to pur
chase.
Some of the bidders were too
anxious to procure their special
urand and offered prices which were
above the regular retail prices dur
ing the days of the dispensary.
It will be a few days before the
business of the bidding will be all
completed, as this time will be tak
en up in placing the highest bidden?
at the top of the list and filling or
ers in this manner, then the boaru
can determine how much stock wil,
remain on hand. All the bids re
ceived were from this county.

on the cards distributed."
"This alarm was not received at
headquarters from the college, but
run^ in from a box at the corner of
East Russell and Railroad avenue,
quite a distance from the college,
which caused some delay in the ar
rival of the department. When we
arrive 1 on the grounds which was
very promptly, after receiving the
alarm, we found that the authori
ties at the college had allowed the
use of pipe wrenches to open and
close hydrants to such an extent that
the regulation hydrant wrench use I
by the fire department to turn on
water was absolutly useless ana fur
ther time was lost after hose was
laid in getting water. This fact in
my opinion accounts for the failure
of President Miller to get water
when he lal l the hose into the house
after discovering the fire. They were
el:her hunting for a pipe wrench
or when they tried to turn on the
water dii not open the hydrant ful
ly, hecause since this fire I have
figured out what the water pressure
should be at that level, with simply
gravity pressure on mains, and he
should have had at least 10 pounis
at the pipe.
"I have learned from President
Miller since the fire that the fire
Bquad at the college had had no prac
tic during this term and that the
students ha 1 not been instructed in
the use of fire extinguishers re
cently installed in f'c various build
ings. He had 500 feet of good hose
anl about ten extinguishers on the
grounds, but it seems that there was
no fire drills or preparation to pro
tect property should fire occur, an !
this is absolutely essential owing to
the distance to be covered by tha
city fire department before they can
get to work."
