It is the purpose of the people of Newberry to see that no o-c suffers for shelter, food or clothing until the excitement incident to the fire is over. Quite a number of negroe houses in Friend, street and other sections in the burnt district were destroyed, and in most 'inttances the negroes lost all of their property. Among those who suffered are the following: Mr. F. N. Martin's lot: Levi Can non, John Morgan, Bettie Reid. These were two room houses and they saved practically nothing. Pool row: Lydie Ferguson, Callie Furguisol, Ella Strother, Mary Ann Hitlerfon'd, Rella Gilliam, Sarah Cauglitn, Sophia Wilsoni, John and Lillie Davis. TY. 1-.

The hose from these mills was put into use and with tile help of the firemen from the two mills good work was done. The Newberry firemen, of coume, as they always do, performed some good work wit'h the facilities that they had at hand.
