Comnmissioner )IcIaster Urges Co-Op eration of City Officials to De crease Danger. Under date of August 24 State In surance -Commissloner F. H. McMaster addressed a letter to Mayor J. J. Lang ford, in which he said: "I am enclosing herewith a copy of a report on conditions in Newberry, made 'by Mr. B. A. Wharton, deputy of the department. "As you know, the fire insurance companies allow a reduction of ten, per oent. in the basis rates for flues built from the ground up, and an ad ditional charge of twenty-five per cent. per $100 of insurance is made for brick-on-edge, terra cotta, and metal flues. "This means, if the insurance com panies charge more for these hazards, the property owner -himself carries a greater risk when he does not build properly, and not only that, he adds greatly to the risk on all adjoining property. Therefore, it behooves us to have these conditions improved. "I am taking the liberty of calling your attention to .the great number of fires Which occur in this State from brick-on-edge, terra cotta, and metal flues; rats and matches; and shingle roofs. It is entirely within the power of the town council to prohibit the building of such flues, the use of wood en shingles, and the sale of amy but iafety matches. "I am calling your attention to the following places requiring special art tention:" Here follows a list of eleven places of busines to wtidch attention is call ed on account of brick-on-edge end terra cotta flues; paper, boxes, etc., in basement; outside -metal flue in bad ~ordier; excelsior in places of business and basement; boxes, paper and rub bish in basement; bales 'of hay in basement; and rubbish, paper, etc., in yard. 'Insurance Commisioner McMaster concludes: "I congratulate you on the improve ment shown from a fDre hazard stand point. I earnestly yope for your con tiinued co-operation." Death of Mrs. J. 3!.

On Wednesday ight Will Griffin, colored, cut George Wilson, col-' ored, in Gra'veltown. Policeman H. H. Franklin says from the way in which Wilson's coat was cut up it is1 a mystery that Wilson escaped more serious injury, :he having -received only~ one bad wound in the arm, which wast attended to by Dr. W. E. Pelham, Jr. Mr. Franklin says -that on Wednes day night police headquarters had a phone .message to send help to Gravel town and that he and Officer Thos. M. Adams went to the scene of disturb ance, but Griffin had gone. Thursday morning, however, the two officers got word that Griffin was at 'the overhead bridge in Boundary street. Messrs. Franklin and Adams approached Grif-j fin from opposite directions and caught him, bringing him to the guard house. In mayor's court on Thursday morn ing he was fined $10 for. the deed, which was paid. It seems that Griffin held a grudge against Wilson, who was a witness agaiinst him at a former trial when, he was convicted and sent to the gang. It is said that he threatened Wilson. Griffin had only reCMtly served his sentence. After paying the fine on Thursda morning he fell into the hands of istrate J. C. Sample .to be dealt with further. SPECIAL NOTICES. One Cent a Word.
