Mr. Editor: ? 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

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

' Mr. Baum's Cannery.
(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.

CALLS ATTENTION TO "BRIDGE"
DAY
Richards Stresses Importance of
Cooper Structure
Governor John G. 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.
(Signed) "JOHN G. RICHARDS.
"Governor."
The governor is expected to make
ah address at the opening exercises.

Ancient Building Catches Fir-?
At one o'clock today the firedepart
ment was called out on account of a
fire on lower Broad Street. A large
two-story fiame building, which
stands across Camden's big ditch, and
is one of the ancient structures of the
city caught fire, and just as the
blaze was discovered issuing from the
roof the fire department was on the
U4) and saved the building. It is a
veritable fire trap and has been oc
cupied for some time by negroes.
Delgar Hunter, who was running a
negro boarding house in it, died a few
days ago. The building is owned by
W. J. 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.
