CIAFLIN SWEPT BY FIRE
V
(Administration Building Destroyed j
With Loss of $75,000 to $100,000.?
Will be Rebuilt.
Orangeburg, Jan. 9.?Orangeburg
was visited; by one of the largest fires
of its history this morning when the
large main building at Claflin university,
a negro college supported by
the Northern Methodist church, was
practically destroyed by fire. Thej
alarm was sent in about 11:40 o'clock,
this morning and when the fire de- j
partment reached the scene, the roor [
was a mass of flames, The origin of'
I
J the fire is a mystery- When discover-!
ed, the fire was a roaring flame, appearing
to have been burning sometime.
The main building was a threestory
brick structure and a very large
building. In this building were located
class room, girl's "dormitory'
dining room, kitchen in annex, etc.
ipresident's office and other offices,
All of the students were gotten out!
m the building in safety. A large;
poaint of the students' personal ef-j
Bets were saved and some personal I
property of the college, but the loss
of personal property was great.
rThe large main building of the State j
college for negroes, which is a fourstory
building, was in close proximity
to the fire, but at no time was in
serious danger of destruction. About
two years ago Badham hall, girl's;
dormitory of the State college, was!
destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of!
about $20,000.
There was a stiff wind during the J
fire, but luckily the wind blew in the i
most favorable direction to prevent
spread of fire to adjoining buildings.
Although the firemen fought valiantly,
the wind fanned the flames and the
building was reduced to ashes except
L the kitchen annex, which was saved
k^Kriid fire was one of the largest ocj^xruring
in Orangeburg for a long time

insurance carried upon the buildingamounted
to $50,000 and the amount;
carried on the furniture amounted to |
$5,000, making a total of $55,000 in- j
surance. Dr. L. M. Dunton, presi- j

as plenty of room would be provided

stated that the administration

po&sible and that a magnificent struc- j
ture would be erected 4to replace the '

SOLD 60 HOGS AT BIG PROFIT.
Georgetown Planter Raises Fine
Breed and Makes Good Sales.
Georgetown, Jan. 9.?Mr. .T. Louis
LaBruce, owner of Arundel plantation,
on the Pee-Dee River, in Georgetown
county, shipped on cars to a dealer
in Bennettsvjlle, S. C., sixty fine
Berkshire hogs, which he raised on
his place last year. He has left about
one hundred.nore, the larger number
of which iie expects to keep for breeding
purposes, and go into the hog
industry to be very profitable, if properly
conducted. Rice plantations are
since the rice field growth provides fa- j

he has not had a case of cholera at!
Arundel in thirty years. The hogs he j
has been raising during the past year i
are as fine specimens of porKers as
anyone would care to see, and many j
of them would undoubtedly win prinzes !
at a hog show.
Mr. I^aBruce did not object to state
the debits and credits on account of
this particular shipment of hogs. He
declares that these hogs would keep
fat all the spring and summer and
unt.il late in the autumn in his rice
fields and marshes. Then he turned
them into the woods and caring for
these hogs amounted about .06 3-4 cent

GRAIN SHOW OPENED
Nearly Erefy Section Represented in
Pre-Exposit/on Exhibit in Columbia.
The State, Friday.
With nearly every section of the
State represented in exhibits of agriI
cultural products, the South Carolina
State grajn show opened at the State
Fair grounds Thursday. The
show is being held to select competitive
exhibits to represent South Carolina
in the Fifth National Corn exposition,
which opens here on the
27th of this month. The names of
those farmers whose exhibits will be

nounced tonight by the authorities
in charge of the grain show.
In view of the fact that there was
no monetary prize to be won at the
grain show, it is considered that the
number of exhibits entered, and the
number of counties represented is
most encouraging, and indicative of
the keen interest felt throughout the
State in the Fifth National Corn exposition,
of which the grain show is a
preliminary. The authorities in
charge of the show were, in fact, j
somewhat surprised at the number of
the exhibits entered. It was unpacked
and set up yesterday, but this work
will be completed early this morning.
Representatives of the Farmers' Co?
?^ nnn-iAnctrntinii work will

Much of the material submitted was
corn. There were about 125 ten-ear
exhibits, and about 50 single ear exhibits.

MADE 18,r>r>0 PER CENT PROFIT
Xew York Institution Has made Over
$80,000,000.?Its President
on Stand.
Washington, Jan. 9.?Enormous
profits by the First National Bank of
New York were recounted today by
George F. Baker, chairman of the
board of directors of the bank, a witness
before the house money trust
comm'ttee. .Mr. Baker furnished the
*
committee with records showing that
since its organization in 1863 with a
capitalization of $")00,000, the bank
Has made pronts amouuuug iu muic
than $80,000,000.
In the four years since 1908, Mr.
Baker told the committee, the bank
had paid dividends of 226 per cent, or
more than twice, the total capilization,
which is now $10,000,000. When
the capital was increased to that
amount in 1901, a special dividend of
$9,500,000 was declared,. Baker said,
to enable the stockholders to take up j

special dividend of $10,000,000 was declared.
This was in addition to the j
regular yearly dividende.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, from facts supplied by Mr.
Baker, calculated that since he assumed
the. presidency of the First National
in 1873, that institution has j
paid dividends of 18,550 per cent o.* ;

Mr. Baker flatly opposed the sugKv

national banks be repuired to make
public their assets, in order that depositors
and stockholders might know
the nature of securities held by the
banks, the witness declaring that he
saw no possible good that could come
of such a provision.
That there is no impropriety in one
man holding directorship in two or
more potentially competitive banks,
was another statement made by Mr.
Baker. Mr. Untermeyer reviewed with j
him a long list of railroads, in which
he was a director, some of which the
lawyer held were potentially competing
lines. Mr. Baker declared that it
was rather an advantage to hold such
directorships, because differences between
the companies c^.n thus be readily
adjusted.

WILL WAVE ttAK OX PISTOL
Sumter, Jan. io.?Since its organization
two years ago the Sumter Chamber
of Commerce has proved itself to
be^ of Commerce has ^proved ,.:t
be a live working force, not only for
the benefit of Sumter but for the
furtherance of the general good. It
will be recalled that a movement
started in this Chamber of Commerce
summer before last was taken up
throughout the cotton growing belt
and resulted in an ordir from the
United States secretary of agriculture
modifying the manner of cotton reports
to the benefit of the planter.
The Sumter Chamber has now a set
on foot another movement which the
members hope will be more far-reach
ing aim ..hich will result in nationwide
gcod. It is a movement to curtail
the pistol habit and to lessen the
harm by pistol "toting."
At a meeting of tne chamber about
the end of November resolutions bear
ing on the matter wece presented by
President S. C. Baker and were adopted
by the chamber. These resolu- ,
tions have been printed in large numbers
and have been sent to government
and department heads all over
the country including the president
and the president-elect and to commercial
and civic bodies all over the
nation. Dr. Baker is now in Florida
where he has attended a meeting and
luncheon of tha Jacksonville Chamber
of Commerce and has made an
address on the Sumter plan before the '
0t a 11 cmctinp rh^mhpr. He is in St.
Augustine for the purpose'- of attending
the peace conference preliminary
to the centennial next year of the
treaty of peace following the war of
1812 and the senii-centennial of that
following the close of ttie war Between
the Sections. Dr. ^a'ker presented
these resolutions at all these
meetings.
