It has not been determined how the fire originated. The entire cotton platform seemed to burst forth in flames at one time. Besides the 260 bales of cotton stored in the cotton shed were twenty or thirty tons of fertilizer belonging to J. M. Hcaron, who with Wade H. Willi ford and J. W. Thames, owned the cotton that was burned. The shed, which was one of the three sections of the freight depot was completely destroyed. The only thing that saved the other parts of the building were two brick fire walls and the good work of the volunteer Bishopville firemen. About sixty bales of cotton were removed and were not damaged by fire but the fertilizer was a complete loss. Rails were twisted and torn up and ties were burned but repairs were made in time for the morning train to come in. The warehouses, across the tracks from the cotton shed, were completely burned to* the ground. One belonged to J. H. Mosely, and contained a limited amount of fertilizer. The other belonged to the Bishopville Petroleum company and contained grease, oils, tires, etc., and was estimated by W. G. DesChamps, the owner as being a loss of-$3,000 or $4,000. It is not known whether the railroad will build back the cotton shed or not. This makes the second time? that the Coast Line has been visitedby a fire in Bishopville, the first time < being in 1920 or 1921, when the entire station was destroyed by fire. The fire could be seen as far away as - Camden and other points, the burning oil and grease making a big flame. WATCH THE JUMP We make no pretension to the art of any prophecy, clairvoyance, soothsaying, or fortune telling. We Just watch the old boys perform and draw our conclusions. We are ready to ride on one prediction. President Roosevelt is playing a deep and shrewd game for a third term. It is costing the country many millions to help play the game for, him. One of the straws in the wind | is his anxiety to get all his coattail f swingers, and all his New Deal agencies In line for the battle. It is com-| Ing. The Roosevelt dynasty is on the way. George Washington's famous ukase against a third term is in the balance. Efforts have been made In1 vain to shake It. Tfiey failed for~dtfferent reasons. J But this is a new age, and tue New! Deal is rarin' to go. The stage has sever been set In a finer way to win, fk?th Republicans and Democrats are -Weak In presidential timber. Bat above all, and over all, no man In "the tide of times" ever had such a bread and batter brigade at his command than President . Roosevelt. Further-^ more, he Is an artist In manipulating, the meagerle. Watch that army of, pie-eaters dance to the President's fiddle. There are pArloue day# ahead,' and the politicians are Jnat an anxious |u$d hungry as the privates. Pin counts, as never .before^ nlA^tts 1$%^ and prospective pie with the osta.? *. .1 ?L"_ -V "! South Warned Of Its Party Walterboro, June 13.?Special: "If I had been In the national Democratic convention In Philadelphia in 1^36, I would have walked out with some others," said Judge J. Henry Johnson, of Allendale, this morning during his charge to the grand Jury at the open ing of the court of general sessions for Colleton county. He referred to the fact that a ne<ro had been asked to lead in prayer. Ho said that so far as he could learn the Republican convention was never opened with prayer by a negro. Two things Judge Johnson said he believed in and about which he is a crank-state's rights and white supremacy. He said he feared the national Democratic party is trying to destroy these in the South. He said the wage and hour bill in a few years will lead the South Into bondage. The anti-lynching bill is not antllynching bill he asserted, but an antiSouthern bill designed to catch the vote of the negro up North. He contended that there is ample room in the country for both rafiea each operating in his proper sphere. He charged that the Southern Dem-( ocrat had served the party after the j war. but that now there Is danger ^ that the Democratic party of the. North will destroy it. He said that ( in these plain remarks he was trying j to throw out ^ome red flags to warn the people. The people of the South have been bought with a price, un-? fortunately too small, he charged. This is the flrBt time the national government has done anything for the South, but even now the differential In favor of the North is out of all reason. After making these statements. Judge Johnson said that he realized ^ it might prove costly to him to be; making them, and that he had noj apologies to make for having spoken thus. "If it be treason, make the most of it," he concluded. Court got under way today. The grand Jury under H. E. Savage, foreman, will meet againtomor row to consider phases of its work.
