HEAVY LOSS BY Fr.
Dwelling House And Several Outbuildings
Near Mt. Pleasant Destroyed By
Fire.
Mr. W. H. Folk, of near Mt.
Pleasant, sustained a very heavy
loss on Wednesday night by a fire
which entirely destroyed his dwel
ling and several outbuildings,
The fire occurred early in the
night, starting in the upper story.
Its origin is unkno wn. Mr. Folk
and family were in a down-stairs
room when they heard the roaring
of the flames, and on going out
they saw the whole upper story, in
flames
Practically nothing in the dwel
ling house was saved. How nany
of the outhouses or how much of
their contents were burned could
not be definitely learned.
The dwelling was comparatively
new and was a modern two-story
frame structure. It was learned
yesterday that Mr. Folk carried
about $500 insurance, though this
can not be definitely stated. $500
would cover only a small part of
the reported loss.
Miss Carrie Buford, who is teach
ing the Mt. Pleasant school, lost all
she had in the house, including
some $30 or $40 in money.
GOVERNOR D. C. HEYWARD.
Be ReturnedTo Columbia Yesterday After
noon After A Very Pleasant Stay
In Newberry.
In weather about as disagreeable
as it ever falls to the lot of New
berry to endure, with a fine sleet
and rain beating under the shed
and driving straight into his face,
Governor D. Clinch Heyward
boarded the Southern's early after
noon passenger for Columbiayester
day afternoon to return to the work
of the governor's office after having
spent Wednesday night and yester
day morning in Newberry.
Governor Heyward came to New
berry Wednesday night, in comp
any with Mr. E. W. Robertson.
president of the National Loan and
Exchange Bank of Columbia, Col.
E. H. Aull and other gentlemen,
to attend the banquet given the
bankers by Mr. Z. F. Wright
Wednesday night. After the ban
quet he was the guest of Col. W.
H. Hunt.
Governor Heyward expressed
deep regret that the disagreeable
weather of yesterday morning pre
vented him from seeing quite a
number of his friends here.
The governor was as handsome
and hale and heartyv as usual, and
his friends here regret very much
that he could not stay longer.
Governor IIey ward was not talk
ing politics, but in a conversation
with friends at the depot yesterday
the legislature came up for dis
cussion and it wvas mentioned by
some one that there was always a
general kick because the .legislature
killed so much'time during the first
of the session. Governor Heyward
referred to the fact that it is most
ly committee work and work of
which the general public seldom
takes note, that consumes the early
prt of the session. He thought
the legislature had been making
about as much time as was con
sistent, with wise legislation.
The Fire Chefs.
City council having failed to con
firm the Excelsior Fire Company's
nomination of Mr. E. H. Leslie for
chief, on account of Mr. Leslie's
absence from the city, the company
has nominated Mr. J. WV. White,
the present first assistant chief, for
chief. ~
The company has recommended
that Mr. W. S. Mann, second assis
tant chief, be promoted to first
assistant chief, and that Mr. T. H.
Pope be elected second assistant
chief.
