On Tuesday afternoon about 1 o'clock aa out house on Mr. L. C. 'Boozer's place was consumed by fire. Among the losses were 1 ton of guano, 25 or 30 bushels of cottonseed and a lot of peas and hay. One room of the house was occupied by a colored wage hand and he lost $30 ia money. The fire is thought to have been accidental. Now that the baseball season is wide open and frequent games are played at college park, how about sprinkling College street aH the way to the college on the afternoons when eames are scheduled to be Dulled off? As it is people traveling in autos raise so much dust that they stifle themselves and everybody *else in their wake to say nothing of the residents living along this thoroughfare. (A. fine closing of a successful year in the O'Neall school on last Saturday. The school has been taught the past year by Mr. Will Ukiills and Miss Setzler and there have been over 80 children enrolled. They need another teacher. The children did credit to themset.es and their teachers and such a crowd and such a dinner as was spread under those oaks one rarely e.joys. No wonder a lot of people don't see the auto stop signs at the corhers? they are usually hidden in a maze of tobacco, cigarette, soap, soda aad other ?igns that our merchants have allowed traveling men to tack up. You don't see these unsightly pieces of tin, covering in crazy qufit fashion, the sides of buildi .gs and telegraph posts in real, live cities. What will X'pwhprrv rin ahnnt it*> Sometimes it is a good thing for a preacher to spring a debatable question in his sermon. It puts people to thinking and when they think, they "nearly always talk and when they talk, they often convince those who engage with them in conversation. At the Church of the Redeemer Sunday night, Rev. Pulenwider asked the question and answered it in the negative, "Can a Bad Man Perform a Good Deed, in the Sight of God?" Mrs. Mary Francis Williams of near Longshore died Tuesday, May 9th a.:d was buried on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Mount Zion, Rev. R. H. Burris conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Williams was a member of Bush river Baptist church and was 77 years of age. She was before marriage a Miss Johnson and is survived by two sons and two daughters, Mr. J. S. Williams and Mr. D. J. WiN liams, Mrs. Hattie Hendrix and IMl-s. Mary Pitts of near Crossbill. In Judge Player's court last Saturday there was a civil case in which C. R. Rucker and the "Casualty Life Insurance Co. of Tennessee were the j litigants. Mr. Rucker was represented i by Chas. P. Barre, Esq., and the insurance company by Cokei Turner, Esq., of Greenville. After hearing the case Judge Player rendered his decision in favor of the plaintiff C. R. Rucker for $19.75 against the defendant insurance company. Mr. Turner gave notice of appeal to the circuit court. i Let's Fight Fairly. -Ilie Piedmont believes in fair play. It also believes that any oiher kind is sure to react and i: jure those who indulge in it. This paper does no: I take sides as between candidates with- j u the Democratic party. That is a | fixed policy with The Piedmont.. V.i! | paper stands squarely for definite i principles. Naturally it feels kindly j to candidates who espouse those principles. but it will not allow that ki. d-! ly feeling to lead it to depart from its j impersonal editorial attitude or to be j unfair to those who fight the princi-! pies it champions. That is our ideal i of the proper course for a newspaper to pursue. Many newspapers in this State honestly believe in their duty to the public to take sides as between candidates within the party, ilhey would I I sin against conscience if they failed j to do so. We have no quarrel with these who have a conception of the j functions of a newspaper which dif ters irom ours. j However, we think direct newspaper support or opposition to a candidate cuts little figure in determini.-g his fate in tlie primary. If the opposition be unfair, however, it acts' contrary to the intention cf the editor i directing it. This week's Abbeville Medium fur-1 i nishes an illustration of the point we j are making. In it the assertion is, made that in Newberry the adherents of former Governor Bleace "had things all their own way" in the county convention Monday and "ran t the 'steam loller' over the other crowd." Fairness required that in that same editorial a statement should have been made cf the fact that before the election of delegates to the Newberry convention was held the Blease leaders in that county went to the chieftains of the other faction and offered to make a division of delegates in the contention and to sit down on efforts to raise partisan nnp<jti<v:? This offer was refused by the anti-Blease leaders, who believed j they could again dominate the New- j berry convention this year as they did j two years ago. If there was factionalism in the .Newberry convention, it seems to The Piedmont thatthe responsibility rests upon those ,who refused the proffered olive branch. We are going to have hot politics in South Caroling this year, but, if we all fight fairly, we will quit at the e;:d of the primary with mutual respect for each other.?Greenville Piedmont. AN AGE OF BIG FEES T" ~ Ul?u oc filAA AAA in Ii?n}crs uri as mgii " 5 TAVV^VVV I a 'Single Case. Philadelphia Ledger. This is, indeed a big age. A few days ago it was announced that fee of $100,000 has been allowed to A. H. I Winterstee.:, one of Philadephia's | ablest lawyers. That was for his services to the Harrah ..state. Other lawyers tell me that, large as that fee appears to a laymen, it is j quite moderate considering the va'ue; of the estate involved. "Nearly a century ago Daniel Web-; ster made upward of $7.">,000 out of one case which ran over a number of years. For his day Webster was a heavy charger. Alexander Hamilton was surely one of New York's leading lawyers dur-1 ing the last half dozen years of his 1 nfo v?nt hp neiver made more than! $14,000 in 3 year, and his average was about $12,000. Thomas Jefferson himself put it on record that be earned about $3,000 a year shortly after being admitted to j the bar. Tradation has it that Roscoe Conklin was the first American lawyer to make $100,000 in a year. He did that after his quarrel with the president and his retirement from the United States senate. Unless reports are all awry a Philadelphia lawyer has made several times that much in a year. J In "For Sweet Charity" Ham and Bud find themselves at a Charity Bazaar with eighty cents between j them and a dollar the price of one kiss j "for sweet charity" from Miss Ruby j Lyps. Isn't it terrible, the predicament they think up for these funny fellows? "A week in the infirmary," was the; sentence passed on Helen Gibson by I the studio physician after she had j completed the thrill scene for "The | Girl Who Dared," in which she was accidentally struck by the hood of the engine cab. "A Flock of Skeletons" is the first' release in the new Sis Hopkins come-. dies.

Cash MacCollougti, who at the age of five years, mastered the art of reading film subtitles out loud, died yesterday from a fractured skull. AndfeBces Without Readers. The proposal of the Lubin company i .... to produce a wordless picture, one that will tell its story without the aid of subtitles, is approved by the editor of the Los Angeles "Examin-! er." He says: "Then we won't "hear j the woman in the next seat reading: the titles aloud to little Johnny while\ we try to read them for the benefit | of little -'Mary in our lap."
