Three Hundred and Sixty-Six Hales
of Cotton Destroyed.
The cotton storage warehouse of
the Farmers Warehouse Corporation
was totally destroyed by fire at 1:30
o'clock Friday morning, together with
366 bales of cotton stored therein.
When discovered flames were issuing
from the room on the south side and
such headway had been made that
there was no chance of saving either
the building or contents. No one is
able to tell definitely how the firo
originated but it is conjectured that
it was caused from lightning, as a
guy post on the opposite side of the
street north of the building was
struck by lightning the afternoon be
fore during an electrical storm, and
splinter* were found behind the ware
house which corresponded with the
parts torn from the post. In addition
to this evidence persons passing the
warehouse early the evening before
scented burning cotton but seeing no
outward evidence of fire attributed
the odor to the belief that persons
living nearby were burning old rags
to drive off mosquitoes. Evidently
the tiro smouldered for some time be
fore the Uames burst out.
The cotton was fully insured and
the building partially so. ? Kershaw

MANY MURDERS CHARGED
man Butcher Said to Have C
fessed to Killing Seven Boys.
.Berlin, July 2. ? A gruesome dis
covery was made by the police of
1 Hanover when they arrested a butch
er named Harrman on the charge of
wholesale murder.
According to the police Harrman
has confessed to murdering at least
seven boys and young men in his
.home. The arrest followed the find
ling of a sack containing, five skulls
and divers bones of several persons
near Hanover.
Harrman, the police says, told
them he had cut the heads off his
victims and had thrown their bodies
into a river, but the fact that tho
bones were found in the sack has led
the police to believe that he .sold the
human flesh as meat.
As several more persons are miss
ing, it is believed the number of vic
tims may be greater.
Conductor J. B. Watson, running
between Yorkville and Columbia, said
Sunday evening that the rivers and
swamps below Camden are full to
overflowing. Also he said he crossed
a bridge over the Edisto river Satur
day night, ordinarily eight or ten feet
above the average river, and the
water was almost up to the floor of
the bridge.? York Enquirer.

who on May 17, shot B. H. Hatcher,

sentenced to life imprisonment. The

BROWN I Np REVIVAL CLQSE.S
Evangelist Will !tegii? Campaign la
Camden Second Week in August.
Raymond Browning closed Lancas*
tor's greatest revival Sunday night
in keeping w^ith tho great influence
he had spread over Lancaster and
vicinity. Handicapped often by
stortus, electric lights and a badly
damaged tent the "Sin Fighting
Evangelist" with his co-workers
charged onward and routed sin. Co
operation by the local pastors, busi
ness men and Evangelistic Club added
greatly to the evangelistic wbrk and
the good results accomplished can not
be denied. The t'our weeks' revival
eame to Lancaster at the request of
the local pastors and Raymond
Browning, a man of God, with strik
ing personality, an eloquent speaker,
and a marvelous illustrator at the
gospel wheel steered much good
straight into the .hearts of the thous
ands that heard him. The attendance
has been good and never in the hist
ory of Lancaster have so many heard
the gospel in so short a time. Visit
ors from adjoining counties havo
often been seen in the audience alid
the attractive Browning methods
never failed to add interest among
the throngs that heard him daily.
Credit is due Arthur Lynn, "The
Golden Tenor," director of Lancas
ter's largest gospel chorus. His solo
at each meeting was inspiring and
added, greatly to the work of Mr,
Browning. The gospel chorus, com
posed of Lancaster's talented singws,
"never failed^ to do their part, render
ing the musical program equal to the
best. The pianist, Rufus S. Perkins,
a musician of note, did his duty with
his masterly touch of the ivory keys.
Sometimes without lights and other
inconveniences, Rufus Perkins never
faltered at his important post. Cus
todian Fred Siebert, a man's job to
care for the tent tabernacle regard
less of weather and storms and see
to the comforts of all, did his work
in a gracious manner.
"Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God,"
3rd chapter Gospel of John. Illus
trating the hiM-<me? pie-turf* of? NHrre
demus, and Moses lifting up the ser
pent in the wilderness Mr. Browning
rapped the church members who have
just the shell of religion. "Whoso
ever believeth in Him shall not
pefish. but have everlasting life."
Saturday morning service: "Is any
sick among you? Let him call for
the elder* of the church; and let
them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord.'-'
"And the prayer of faith shall save
the sick, and the Lord shall raise I
him up; and if he have committed
sins, they shall be forgiven him/'
A large sized Saturday morning
audience heard Raymond Browning's
message and about 15 came forward
and were anointed with oil and the
prayer of faith.
Mr. Browning, before a large after
noon audience who had gathered re
gardless of the inclement weather,
spoke on I Corinthians 13:13; "Faith,
hope, love, these three; but the
greatest of these is loye." beautiful
theme impressed upon his hearers
with his attractive style of illustra
tion. A story of "Mother's Love"
bore down upon his audience and
brought tears to thr eyes of many.
The tent tabernacle was crowded
Sunday night with the most inter
ested audience of the twenty-nine
days of revival. Just as the tent was
filled the rain began to fall adding
charm and solemness to the final
cloeing of Raymond Browning's clos
ing message. In a manner that will
long be remembered by the throng
that heard Browning's profound, tear
filled illustrative sermon, his . last
plea to the people of Lancaster, to
give their hearts to God. The slowly
falling rain with the speaker's emo
tional discourse, tuned the great
audience to a Godly spirit. "For I
am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ; for it is the power of God
unto the salvation to every one that
believeth.. to the Jew first, and also
to the Greek." Mr. Browning in his
closing illustration wept and prayed
for Divine assistance to draw Lan- 1
castrians to God and then called for
those who wished to surrender their
hearts.
The door of salvation was wide
open and 222 Lancastrians came for
ward and gave their hearts to God
acknowledging so by shaking the
hand of Raymond Browning. A
Krand closing that will last long in
the hearts of the throng of Sunday
night.
Raymond Browning and his three
co-workers thanked the good people
of Lancaster for their many courts
sies extended them during the four
weeks' revival. I>anc*?trisns werc
complimented on their generosity and
the deep interest displayed. The
great revival revived and the results
accomplished cannot be measured in
words. "Seek and it will be found"
for the closing words of the revivalist
were "When I came to Lancaster the
;door.s of God'a mercy were wide openi
? when I leave they are wuW open."
The total expenses of the revival
were $2,131,34, which included the
seats and other equipment furnished.
Seats and other articled were given
Mr. Hi ow ning which amounted m
dollar* and cents to approximately
$500, Mr. Browning's personal ajul
new tent receipts were $2,000^30;
making expenses and griffs to the
cause $4,7117. 04.
The big tent tabernacle will be
torn down today and each of the
Browning party leaves for his re
spective home, Ml1. Browning an!
Kred Sicbcrt to Hondorsonvillc, N.
Arthur Lynn to Dayton, Ohio, and
Unto* IVrkins to Old Orchard,
Maine.
Then* next revival will, begin the
second week of August at Camden
under a new t<jnt tabernacle with the
equipment donated by Lancaster.
The storm damaged tent will be
junked and sold here if possible.
"Thus endeth Lancaster's greatest
revival."
