DWELLING' HOUSE BIURNED. Sunday ifternoon Fire Destroys Resi, dence of 3ir. W. A. Graddick. Loss $1,400. On Sunday afternoon about 1.30 o'clock, the residence of Mr. W. A. Graddick, near Mollohon mill, was completely destroyed by fire. The building is estimated as being worth $1,100. The insurance on the buildingl is $800, and on the furniture, $300, car ried in the agency of the Security Loan and Investment company. The fire department responded promptly to the call, but by the time they reached the fire, the building was so far gone that it was impossible to eave it. Of course, the adjoining buildings were saved. The depart ment had to lay about 700 feet of hope I and secured water fron the Mollohon mill as the closest town hydrant is at the corner of Johnstone and Glenn streets.

He has been taking the paper and paying for it since about 1855, with the excep tion of the last fie years, during which time the paper has been senr to him with the compliments of the publisher. A rule was adopted in the office that when any subscriber had been on the list for fifty years and had been a paying subscriber all those years that it would be sent to him thel remainder of his life with the cornpli I ments of the paper. Captain Folk is the only one we now have on that roll though there are several more who, will soon be there. On last Thursday the Folk family held a most delightful reunion at the home of Mr. Thos. W. Folk, one of the sons of Captain H. H. Folk. There were present all of the children and giandchildren now living. In all, chil dren and grandchildren and great grandchildren, there were fifty-seven, which made up the happy party at the home, of Mr. Folk on Thursday last The oldest son of Mr. Folk, Mr. Jno. M.

Folk, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Derrick; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Crappal and six children, and Mr. and Mrs. R C. Perry and five children.

He Retired at 1.15, But Was Up Lead ing in Song and Prayer Fifteen Minutes Later. Mr. B. B. Leitzsey came home from Charleston on Saturday morning to spend Sunday at. his home in this coun ty. Mr. Leitzsey's many friends here haMs been very much interested in his graphic descriptions of the terrific hurricane which- swept Charleston on Sunday night, August 27, and Mr. Leitzsey did not tire in satisfying their interest. Mesgrs. Tom, Marion and Will Wick er, of Newberry, who were in Char leston the night of the storm, came home a:ul told that Mr. Leitzsey sang hymns while the wind was at its height. Mr. Leitzsey says that not on ly is this true, but that he led in the singing, and all the others in the house joined -n beartily, and then each for himself or herself offered as fervent and sincere prayers as they ever of fered in their lives. Mr. Leitzsey was at his lodging place, 139 Calhoun street, opposite Marion Square, where the Citadel Is located. He did not get to Meeting street for supper on Sunday night of the storm, it being dangerous to use the streets even so early in the even ing. Mr. Leitzsey.and Mr. "Field" Cole man room together, 'but he says all those in the house, including Messrs. Will and Marion Wicker, stayed to gether that night. Mr. Tom Wicker had gone out early in the evening to visit some friends and was unable to get back. About 11.15, says Mr. Leitzsey, It was decided that those in the house would retire and seek a little rest. He and Mr. "Field" Coleman went to their room. Th6 wind continued to roar. At 11.30 he arose, and called over to Mr. Coleman telling him that he couldn't go t6 sleep and was going down-stairs. Mr. Coleman, he says, told him he had already made up his mind to do the same thing. Mr. Leitzsey led the way down into the parlor, and was soon joined by the others in the house, including the landlady. He began -to sing "The Old, Old Story," but some of the others didn't know it very well, and he struck uip "Nearer, My God,,to Thee," a song known by everybody, and sung right heartily by everybody in that house that night, says Mr. Leitzsey. Then same the prayers, each, homver, do Eng his own praying. The house is a four-story -building, and Mr. Leitzsey said he wished ev ~ry minute of the terrible night that d1e was up at the office in Society str.eet, which is a low one-story brick uilding, and where the only danger wvould have b'een from other build ngs falling in on it. Between 12 and 1 o'clock the house n which Mr. Leitzsey was staying vas unroofed, and the roof was car ied out into Calhoun street. Every ree on Marion Square, he says, was ilown down. Mr. 'eitzsey tells a little joke on iimself-at least, he says it is a joke; be others say it is true. Shortly be ore the rpof was taken off the house,~ mne of the gentlemen in the party sai o Mr. Leitzsey: "If I had a drink, I declare I believe would take it.". Mr. Leitzsey answered: "No, you wouldn't, because I wpbuld l't let you, in such a time as this." In about a minute, the wind picked 'p the roof and landed it out in Cl toun street. "If you had two drinks, I would take one with youi,'' the others say Mr. aeitzsey said. It is well known that Ir. Leitzsey is a teetotaler,. and he ays he didn''t say it, but 'he admits hat the gentleman who says he did ay it proved his assertion next morn ag by every one who was in the house. Mr. Le'i:zsey says nothing was fur her from 'his thoughts at that time hat the only thing he was thinking f was the .promise of immortality in luded in 'the eternal plan of salvation.I The 'house in which the party were only a short distance up Calhoun treet flrom Meeting, and at the cor- . er of Calhoun and Meeting streets. 1e water was about two feet deep. Mr. Lsitzsey says every time one lember of the little party gathered )gether in the house that night would take a move as if to go out of 'a door very other member of the party fol wed. Human contact and human rmpathy were at a premium in such time of stress. 'Nex*t morning Mr. Leitzsey says he ad his friends went out over the city poking at the effects of tne storm. hey had great difficulty at first, he tid, on account of fears that they - Light run into a live wire, but these bars were soon allayed when it was arned there was no current on in te city. Mr. Leitzsey says every tree left in harleston looks as if it had passed f trough the fall season-the leaves J *e gone and the trees look dead. Ev -v leaf was taken off the cotton stalks, he says, and most of the bolls, A and where the bolls have been washed up they are opening on the ground. Mr. Leitzsey's first efforts, when he was able to ge Out were to communi cate with his family here and to let them know that .he was safe.' It was a good many hours before he could get in communication with them. Mr. Leitzsey's many friends- here, of course, are delighted that he passed safely through the storm, but they de light in hearing him tell his rich ex periences. Death of Mr. John Johnson. Mr. Jno.
