A business survey by the National Industrial Conference board, made public to day, states that a "stable, sound and even flow of business," for the rest of the year is forecast in opinions given by industrial leaders and es timated in the light of business con ditions during the past five years. During the remainder of 1925, the report says, business probably will be conducted under conditions of rising interest rates for loans, with a tendency towards lower prices in some industrios, and generally sta tionary wages. "While there is no expectation of a boom," the report says, "this is considered an advantage rather than otherwise, a steadier movement of business being felt to be more con ducive to sane and dependable condi tions. Sounder business conditions, the report says, have been brought about by the following achievements of the past five years: More stable employment in rela tions to change in production; great er conservatism in expanding produc tion in relation to price changes and shortening line? of distribution, and better transportation. Children Burned to I>eath Three negro children, the oldest about seven years of age, the other two youngc.r, were burned to death about 10 o'clock Monday morning when a tenant house on the farm of a Mr. Courtney in the New Bethel section of the county was burned. The | mother, it is said, had locked the J three children in the house and gone j to the house of a resident of the i community some distance away to work. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is presijmed the blaze was started from sparks in, the fireplace. Only last week the mother lost one of her children by death. The home and entire contents were con sumed with the children.? Ivancaster News.

HARTSVILLK SCHOOL BIJRNKI) I<ohh Probably $100,000 With $60,000 IniiiriMi Hartsville, April 4,?The magnifi cent largo brick two-itory grammar .school building here was entirely de stroyed by fire early this morning. The alarm sounded at 2:30 o'clock ami the fire department did effective work. It was impossible to combat the flames as the fire had evidently been burning for some time. Originating from an unknown cause within the building. All that grj^ets hundreds of Interested spectators thi;* morning are the ghostly walls standing as gaunt, reminders of a structure which was yesterday filled with hundreds of children, Tho building was erected in 190J and marked an epoch in Hartsville educational achievement. The cost then was about $25,000. Since that time additions ? and improvements have been made. The prospective loss .therefore of property, equipment, books, and the like is probably $10f>, 000 with $60,000 insurance. The town has had big fires but from the standpoint of building alone this is thi- biggest conflagration i:i its history. A great handicap and inconvenience is caused to the work of the school, as the high school, building will not accommodate more classes. The loss is so large owing to dou ble session and study period at school. Most of the children had left their books at school. These were destroy ed. The value of the school library amounts to considerable. Nothing was saved. Visiting In This County Seth A. Hotchkiss, nf New Haven, Conn., was a pleasant enlleV at the Era office last Thursday.

H, 11th N. C. Regiment. He was captur ed at the battle of Gettysburg and was held a prisoner until the end of the war in 1865. He expressed a desire to visit Lancaster and seemed especially pleased to learn that Miss Olivia Emmons, who bears the name of his mother, was still living. He was thoroughly familial" with the names of Lancaster's older folk, many of whom were still living when this scribe went to- that town from his home town, Charlotte in 1880. Mr. Hotchkiss is well preserved for one of his years and is now retired from active business. He has been making occasional visits south but has not visited Lancaster in forty years. He is counting strong on going there this time, however, before returning to his home.?Kershaw Era. 4 Man Killed by Saw Spartanburg*, April 7.?J. A. Demp scy, son of R. R.
