The hopes of the members of
the National Guard of South
Carolina have gone glimmering,
so far as an encampment is con-1
cerned, says The State. While no
official statement has been made
by Adjt. Gen. Moore* it is very
doubtful as to whether either of
the three regiments of the j
National Guard will go into camp
during the summer. Lack of
funds is given as the reason.
Col. E. T. Atkinson, one of

Friday night Mr. Ralph G.
Bryant, a well known young
farmer of the Providence neighborhood,
sustained a loss of
about $250 in a fire which destroyed
an outhouse containing
a quantity of unthreshed oats.
The fire was supposed to have
been of incendiary origin. It
was with much effort that Mr.
Bryant and his farm laborers
succeeded in preventing the fire
from spreading to other nearby
buildings*

Steel Creek Home Burned.
Saturday shortly after noon
Mr. J. H. Potts of this city received
a telephone message from
his brother, Mr. Walter Potts,
telling of the destruction by fire
of tte home of the latter in Steel
Creek. The building was of the
colonial style and contained eight
or nine rooms, being one of the
most spacious in that section. Its
destruction was total, only the
chimneys remaining. Of his
household goods and furniture
Mr. Potts was able to save a
small part, the remainder being
burned.
The fire was said to have
originated in a kitchen flue,
where a fire had been burning
in the kitchen stove during the
morning. There was some insurance
on the burned property,
about $500 it is understood, but
the total loss to Mr. Potts was
placed at several thousand dollars.
Rock Hill's New Depot.
Fort Mill visitors to Rock Hill
during the past few days say
that materials for the construction
of the new passenger station j
are now being placed on the site
which was graded some time ago.
The improvements which are i
now under way are to include a
new pressed brick passenger
station, two stories high, with
tile roof, stone trimmings and1
elevated platform, together witn
steam-heating plant.
On account of the difference in
the elevation of the Columbia and
Charleston tracks at Rock Hill, ;
and to prevent the back-up movement
of Charleston division
trains, which was heretofore I
necessary in order to reach the 1
old passenger station, the new j
station will be located in the angle
of the crossing of the two divisions.
The lower, or main,
floor and waiting rooms will be
on the Columbia division level
and the upper floor and elevated
passenger landing or platform
about four hundred feet in length
on the Charleston division level.
Massey-Hunter Nuptials.
Miss Lillie Belk Massey was j
married here Thursday evening i
to Mr. John Cleon Hunter of
Woodruff, S. C. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. W. A. .
Hafner at the handsome home of
the bride's father, Mr. L. J. j
Massey. The only attendants
were Miss Rebecca Lyles of i
Winnsboro, and Mr. Johnson j
Hunter, a brother of the groom,
and the little flower couple. The
marriage had been anxiously
anticipated for many weeks and
suitable preparations had been
made for it. The home was j
handsomely decorated in white '
and green. The wedding march j
was played by Mrs. Thomas B.
Spratt, preceded by a song by j
Miss Helen Salley of Orangeburg,
and after the ceremony elegant
refreshments and light supper
were served.
Tag Tax Receipts.
The receipts in the State
treasurer's office from the sale
of fertilizer tax tags up to date
for this year have been $239,589.31,
and it is probable that the,
sales for the year will exceed
those of any previous year. For
the same period last year the I
receipts were $213,126.28. Thej
total for 1910 was $240,098.95, j
and if the sales for the balance j
of this year amount to as much
as they did for this part of the
season last year the total for 1911
will amount to $266,562. It is
expected, however, that from
now until the close of the year
the sales will be larger than ever,
and that the total will reach at
least $275,000.
Every cent of this fund is
turned over to Clemson college. ?
The State.
Will Resume Hostilities.
The peace regulations entered
into with such great solemnity
between Rock Hill, Chester and
Lancaster seem to be going to
pieces. Recently The Chester
Lantern made fun of the Rock
Hill Record's poet laurate. And
this week The Record said something
about "Chester and other
small places." This we think, is I
sufficient provocation to justify
Chester in calling off all peace
negotiations with Rock Hill. And
when the tug of war comes it
will Ge impossible for Lancaster
to remain neutral, for that warlike
town has already grown impatient
over the few weeks of
peace that has reigned among
these rival municipalities.?Waxhaw
