FWihifcmire, May 12.?This monning about 5 o'clock fire was discovered in the rear of 'P. B. O'Dell's Kvery stable and in a few moments it was seen the business part of town was doomed, for in two whole blocks not a shingle escaped the flames, every house therein having been completely destroyed. 'T!he most prominent establishments affected by the fire were those of C. H. Cooper company, Glenn-Lowry Manufacturing company. Miller Bros., J. G. Setzler and Dr. Hilton, all of whom had l3rge capital and did imense business. The firms carried insurance but not sufficient to cover losses. Among the burned buildings was thp hut the nostmaster. David Duncan, saved all the mail and important papers and letter boxes. By the afternoon the pcstoffice was fitted up in the hotel building. A dozen or more small merchants managed to save their goods. The j calamity is so shocking the victims of the fire have not yet decided what to do except the Gtenn-Lowry company, which will build at once, and do business on larger scale than ever. P. B. O'Dell had no insurance and lost all his ^vehicles, a fine horse and much forage. There are only- two stores now in "Whitmire, that of A,- J. Holt and I "Whitmire Surulv company. j This is ibe only fire of consequence to occur in this prosperous towin. It has no "fire department. The cause of fire is unknown, but is supposed to . have been caused by a careless negro with cigarettes while feeding stock at the stable. The town is in darkness tonight on . account of the electric lights haying i been put out of commission. CHICHESTER S PILLS %p'1rjfc<v TIIE DIAMOND BRAND. /; /TSyX Ladles!

Greenville, May 11.?The -directors and stockholders of the Parker Cotton Mills company decided at a meeting held today to complete the negotiations for the sale of the eight cotton mills, comprising the Hampton group, one of tlie subsidiaries of the Parker company. The purchasers are Lockwood, Greene and company, of Boston. It is understood, though no! such statement was made at the1 meeting today, nor after th.e meeting. I that the Pacific Mills company desires, the four Columbia plants. The selling price was somewhat under the $3,-j | 000,000 agreed upon recntly by the ! stockholders as a minimum price. However, there are certain features of the sale which tend to offset the discrepancy in price. The offer which was accepted, was the first and o. .ly offer made to the Parker Cotton Mills I company. 'The mills of the Hampton group will be delivered June 26. The Parker Mills company is to have possession of all stock manufactured prior to tnat time. Tne pronts anucipaiea will bring the selling price up to near the figure recently agreed upon. j The transaction is to be practically cash. Officials of the Parker Cotton Mills company appeared pleased at the sale. The Victor and Monaghan groups will mow be placed on a firm footing and will enjoy a credit as good as could be desired, according to statements made. The debt per spindle will be reduced to a figure that is easily managable. 'The pur- j chasers agree to take care of all con- j tracts made by the Parker Mills company. The net debt of the Victor and Moaaghan " groups will not now amount to more than about $600,000. These two groups have a spindleage of' about 240,000. There-will be a reorganization of the two subsidiaries and one' company firmly formed to manage them, according to tentative plans. It is said that creditors of the Parker Cotton Mills company will, as j a result of the sale which is aow a l certainty, receive 70 cents on the dol-j eceived rELL ANE itill the first of June we can o ten< Real the items mentioned Read the News from 0 'y, Genuine Lonsdale Ca: in inches wide, every piece lu- Good Bleaching, sped; soft bleaching yard wi for this sale, 11 yds for $ Soft Nainsook, bolt 98 price.

'liiC upimuu was fairly generally' expressed that the sale of tlie Hampton group has solved a troublesome situation. There was a very decidedly happy feeling noticable among some of the officials, for they feel that the reorganization recently .determined upon, has met j with a fortunate turn. The original j plan of refinancing, which plan pre-1 ceded the plan to sell the Hampton J I group, is now abandoned. ! At the meeting today about $10,i 000,000 of the $13,000,000 stock was j represented.

Cotton Mills company, which for some time has been in more or less embarrassed circumstances, is now regarded as being on a splendid footing, the debt of more than $5,000,000 will be so materially reduced, as a result of certain quick assets and the sale of the Hampton mills, as to give the central company a financial status that is excellent TWO MORE CHIEFS OF REBELS SHOT James Coimolly and Joliu McAlemott Executed?Latter a Brilliant Orator.

It was not disclosed how the inquiry would be made. Srate department officials were .liot prepared to say whether the department would insist upon any specific degree of punishment being inflicted upon the commander. There are numerous precedents for making such an inquiry, Germany during trouble on China insisted on the execution of certain persons in the presence of a German officer.
