FIRES IN rtl MTKH T*kp Heavy Toll* in BuaineHN and Rettidencc Secttanw. (Sumter Herald) ^ One of the moHt disastrous ftres which has occurred in the history of Sumter In recent years visited this X'ity Monday night and for a time many of the people who were wit nessing it feared that the result would be much worse than it w?b. The alarm sounded at 9:15 and des* ignated the center of the town and those first on the scene aaw the flame bursting through the center of the roof on the roar of the McColium brothers Dry (Joods store, located on South Main street. They were also angrily, billowing from the window* in front, and the heat was intense. In a very short time both of the Kssoline engines of the department were busy throwing water on the tlnmes. One was stationed on West Liberty street which was connected with nor/zles at the rear* with throe streams playing on the ftre, while the other was %t the front, and was operating two streams. Although there was plenty of water and the tire was raging so furiously and the inside of the building was so "hot that fqr several minutes the efforts of the firemen seemed to have very little effect on the flames. Nothing was salvaged from this building. The orjgni of the ftre is not known. The store had been closed since six oV^Di'k, /is usual. The flames ap peared to have stalled in the back of the building on the second floor. At that time two drug stores were open across the street, and many wore passing the building, and the first intimation of ftre was the shat tering of the windows at the front and the falling of the glass on the sidewalk. The building was, valued at from $10,000 to $12,000 and was fairly covered by insurance. McCol lum Brothers had a stock of goods valued at from $25,000 to $.10,000, with insurance of $15,000. The intense heat caused the ex posed parts of the clot, King store of J. M. ('handler, the next one to the south, to smoke badly, and it ap peared jure tr. catch, and this stcfro rrfpidly filled with smoke. \This routed Mr. Chandler to cl6aV the store. Much of this stock way badly damaged by hasty removal, mqd and water, and by theft also, which caused him to be quite a heavy loser. The store of Lttyy & Moses, the next to the lfurning building on the north, caught on fire and at one time there was a small fire burning in the building, but this was promptly quenched by the firemen, and very little damage was done to their storks. About the time the fire in the Me Collum store was at its highest, an alarm came in from Levi street, whfre the two story dwelling occu pied by Mr. Mathis and family was found to be in flames, and it was some minutes before the light truck could be sent there from the other fire, and when it arrived it was found that owing to the amount of water bring used at the Main street fire the pressure there was so poor that fighting the fire wps done with ex treme difficulty. Yhe flames soon ?stroyed this resilience and jumped from there to the one story residence of the Misses Brunson, and although t lie firemen put up it stubborn fight this residence also was destroyed. Fortunately the building next to it u.c ?.juji?pe?l with a tin roof which ?plwnitrd ine sparks from catching and the keeping of the side of the house wet saved the day and the fire \\a> slopped without further damage on the arrival ot one of the engines, whi-h gave t In* necessary pressure ?* I:* 1 'he fire was quiekly extinguished. \l'1\ lit 1 1 ? n{. the household fur n:: lit e iii-l effects of Mr. Mathis wa^ j i fS?

Mr. Stubbs had entered this build in* just after the fire earlier in the evening* but could find no indica tions of ftw, and H it thought that a spark from the burning building must have, in some way, lodged there 4nd smouldered until it burnt 'out the same as in the McCollum building. Here the firemen were forced to put up another hard tight but the brick walls on either Hide assisted in keeping the fire within the bounds of the store, but the building and con. tents wort* badly damaged before the fire could be brought under control. This Are caught in the workroom of Stubbs Brothers, which was lo cated just at rear of Winburn's pho nograph gallery. Mr. Winburn * had removed his books, Iciroes and some more of the most valuable material at the time of the tire earlier in the night while the McCollum building vwas burning, but his stock# of picture frames and pic? tures were badly damaged. He has been able to salvag^ some, small amount of 'his stock, but he will sus tain a loss of between $1*000 and $1,600, with no insurance. .The store of Stubbs Brothers was badly damaged and the inside will have to be rebuilt before occupancy. Their stocks were valued at approxi mately $40,000. There was insurance of $10,000 on the stock, $5,000 to $6,000 on the building and $1,500 on the fixtures. It is very difficult to estimate the amount of damage done to this stock by the fire, water and smoke. In addition to the losses above, Hibert's Drug Store suffered a smalt amount of damage by water, and sev eral of the occupant* of other build ings wer^ hard at work Rotting their valuables ready for moving. The store occupied by McColtum Brothers, while in good repair, wan an old building with a tin frpnt and itH arrangement of an allrway be tween the plaster and the brick walla made the work of the firemen much more difficult. It waa owned by Mr. Neill 0'l>onnell and its value waa estimated at between $10,000 and $12,000, partially covered by in surance. The building occupied by Mr, Chandler wks owned by Mr. L. Arthur O'Neal ami suffered only small damage. , The stock of Mr. Chandler was valued at approxi mately $40,000, with insurance of $13,000. During this tiro both the equip ment and the petfionnel of the Are department were put to nevfere teats. The personnel of the department waa all that coy Id havo been wished, i They worked bravely and quickly and took many chances which onlookers would hardly have taken, antf well deserve Hie approval of all who 'Were witnesses. A while ago . some may have thought the city fathers extrav agant in the purchase of some of the equipment, but this fire demonstrated fully their wisdom in its selection, and also the fact that there was none too much of it, and that its real worth to the city, under the control of those skillful firemen, would be very diffi cult to 'estimate.

John Claud Stewart, well remembered in Cam den, which occurred at the home of his wife's mother in Casey, Illinois, Wednesday night, April 2nd, came as a distinct shock to the family and his friends, for although it was known that he had been in failing health for a number of years, his quiet un complaining manner and his fidelity to every duty caused his friends to think that the end1 was not near. , Mr. Stewart was born in Camden, May U, 1806, and practically all of his life was spont here, where he was esteemed by his friends. He went north and when the call for Volun teers in the World war came hfllvwias one of the first to go overseas.
