On Friday of last week lightning struck the house of Willie Dixon, a respectable colored | tenant on Mr. W. Z. Hilton's Hound i Top place. Entering by the chimney j it knocked down part of the bricks and passed out of the fireplace be tween Dixon and Joe Robinson, a neiphbor. It passed through a suit case. entered a closet made a hole in the flo&r to the ground below, and killed a chicken. There were K or 9 people m the house but none were seriously hurt, only a son and daugh ter of Dixon being very slightly shocked. Willie says the air was al most clear in the vicinity, the cloud being some distance away to the north. On Saturday about ten o'clock the house of Henry Brtiley, a worthy col ored farmer, was completely destroy ed by fire together with the entire contents, except a kitchen sideboard, one chair and mattress being saved. The family were all away at the time, He was plowing nearby but did not see the fire until Mr. J. H. Clements gave the alarm. He went in to try and save something, but was too I much overcome by the smoke and heat and was helped by Mr. Clements out of a window and away from the building, or he would very likely have perished in the flames. The fire is said to have caught in a part of the house away from any recent fire and its origin is unknown. The building contained eight rooms and is said to have made a spectacular blaze and attracted a large crowd. It was own ed by G. R. Clements, who had no insurance and Henry had none on his household goods. Rev. F. A.

(Contributed) At this time when South Carolina food products are being given the at tention of the world it is fitting tt say something of the Baum Cannery, a Camden enterprise, where home grown products are put up by home town people. The canning house op erated by Mr. Baum is situated in his own field near a large patch of to matoes which are duly canned with many other vegetables grown by Mr. Baum and other planters. The plant is equipped with up-to-date machin ery and receives the expert atten tion of Mr. Baum, himself. Toma toes, Okra, Corn, Beans, Peaches, and many other Carolina products rich in iodine are brought in daily by town and country folk with whom Mr. Baum shares the canned products. The cans when filled are neatly lab eled with Mr. Baum's copyrighted markers. By hard and efficient labor Mr. Baum has brought his small plant to the fore and with the rise of Carolina porducts to the front tho?-e is a great opportunity for his enterprise. This part of the state is especially full of the healthful iodide and there is no reason why this container of the great chemical may not reach distant lands. l>e?\t h of Magistrate Copeland.

Richards issued a proclamation urging ''all who can do so" '?o attend the formal opening of the Cooper river bridge at Char leston Thursday. The proclamation follows: "To the People of South Carolina: "The formal opening Thursday, A ugust 8, of the Cooper river bridge it Charleston is an occasion of impor tance and interest not only to that section but to the entire state. This magnificent bridge has been com pleted in a remarkably short time at a cost of $f? .000,000. It is one of the largest bridges of its kind in the world and will open up an important rich coastal section, handicapped for lack of rapid communication with the remainder of the state. "Everyone in South Carolina feels a special pride in thi? dedication of this our largest bridge and as govern or I call i\pon all w) o can do so to be present on this important occa sion.

Mayfield, prominent cotton buy er of Camden. The loss Is fully cov ered by insurance. The damage was 'slifiht as the fire originated in the day time and the fire department, as us ual, was prompt in responding.
