Kershaw and community by the
hundreds. Their deaths caati a pall
of gloom over the entire immunity.
From information gatherea\from
eye-witnesses of the tragedy, it
would appear that Connell died the
death of a hero. The report is that
be managed to make hla way ont
of the burning building but learR:]
Ing that his three frieiras, Barfield,
Griffon and Falle were still mlaing,
rushed back into the Inferno intent
on rescuing them.
While the death of the four
young men is deplored throughout
the state, from present indications
their tragic end may bring about
prohibitive measures against the
sale or use of fireworks (Irlthln the
commonwealth of South Carolina.
Newspapers throughout the jtate
are swinging Into line against the
explosive menace and It Is believed
that members of the General As
sembly may be asked to Uke ac
tion at the session which starts in
January.
Several Ihstances have been re
ported where irate magistrates and

who have vloUted city laws in the
