Very, Very Bad on Mr. Jones.
The following is from the Bethnne
Enterprise i "It ifl ruranred that ad
owner of certain lands near the 8. A
L. Railroad suffered considerable
loss from the effects of a recent lire.
It is saiil that this fire originated
from a lightwood stump near the
(rack. It was at first thought that a
law suit against the Seaboard would
result, it being generally believed
that a apark was emitted from one
of their huge coal burners which ig
nited a stump and^ caused all the
trouble. However, it is now well
established that the stump which be
came ignited was the one upon
which the Honorable Levi Jones, the
distinguished candidate for the
House of Representatives from Cam
den, stood when he made his specch
to tiie returning picnicers from Be.
thnne to &aiwlen. Of course the
origin of the fire fs now known, and
the threatened shit against the rail
road is s thing of the past. - The
fiery stream of eloquence which fell
from thelipe of Mjv Jones would no
doobt have molted the steal raik on
