FIRE IN BLACKVILLE.
DIVIDEND DECLARED.
Two Residences Burned at an Early
Hour Saturday Morning.
Blackville, Dec. 11.—The fire alarm
was sounded here at 1:30 o’clock this
morning, the residence of Henry
Johnson being discovered in flames,
and before the fire department could
reach the scene, the fire had spread
to the home of D. O. Fanning, both
residences being consumed in a brief
space of time.
The residences were on Main street,
opposite the principal business sec
tion of the city, and what at one time
looked to be a disastrous fire was nar
rowly averted by the hard work of the
fire department, assisted by many of
the citizens.
The fire started in a thickly settled
place, residences being on both sides
and in the rear, necessitating a steady
play of water on adjacent buildings
to prevent the flames from spread
ing.
A large part of the household goods
from both houses was saved.
The fire apparatus owned by J. M.
harrell was turned over tothe city
and did much towards suppressing the
flames.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

essary for the winding up of the af
fairs of the cdunty dispensaries on
the 31st of this month, after which
date State-wide prohibition goes into
effect. There is no provision for dis
posing of what stock of liquors re
main on hand after that date and
just who will have control of the re 7
maining stock from the end of this
year until the GenAal Assembly,
which convenes on the 11th of Janu
ary,,can make some provision for dis
posing of ' the stock is a problem
which the Governor faces. He may
instruct the sheriffs to take charge of
the remaining stocks until such tliHe
as the legislature can dispose of them
through some act.
All salaries of dispensers and clerks
cease on the 31st, but their bonds can
not be satisfied until they are checked
up bv the auditors. There is no pro
vision for checking up after the end
of the year and how^Utt going to be
poapi^q. bf L. L. Bultman, State dis-
IMaary auditor, to check up every
dispenser and clerk on the 31st of
this month when the dispensaries do
not close until that night at sun down
and go out of business, is something
which the Governor is also trying to
figure out. He has instructed Mr.
Bultman to see if he can’t check up
as many as possible bpfore that time
and get the matter as nearly done as
is humanly possible to do.
It seems that in the rush of wind
up the dispensaries no time was
for attending to these necessary
its after they are closed finally
and the lawmakers legislated the
whrie thing out of business on the
ht set for them to close sine die.
ic of the counties, Charleston
among the number, reserved the
right when they purchased their last
liquor to ship back whatever remained
on hand and the Governor has told
Mr. Bultman to get the counties hav
ing this right to take advantage ofthe
clause if possible and he ia dome so.
Of course, this returned stuff muJt be
shipped not later than the 31st, for
the boards go out of office on that
night. Another neat little problem

executive and the dispensary auditor

Richard C. Sprawls.
Williston, Dec. 13.—There passed
away on the night of November 10th,
at his home in Rosemary Township,
a man beloved by hia friends and es
teemed by all who knew him, and
without an enemy. It has been the
unhappy lot of but few to suffer so
long and crucially as he; and still
fewer who bore their sufferings with
such patient fortitude and Christian
resignation. For twenty years he
had not seen a day when he waa free
from pain, and yet his fine physique
was that of a man. of robust health
He possessed that high sense of
justice which is the foundation of
honesty, and duty was the watchword
of hia life. Whatever Rich Sprawls
thought he ought to do, that he strove
to do. x
In compensation for his physical
suffering Heaven had blessed him
in his home life; surrounded as he was
by a large and dutiful family, who
were ever watchful of hia need and
comfort. I remember on one occa-
sion after he had been confined to a
bed of suffering for, several weeks,
I asked him if he ever, sought relief
in opiates during his periods of in
tense suffering. He replied, “No, my
wife does not think them good for me
and does not want me to use any; she
has been so good to me for these
many years that I always try to do
just as she wants me to do.” A
touching tribute to the faithful min-
of a self-sacrificing and
The pain racked body is at last at
rest, and while the body is-. moldering #
in the dust, his ransomed spirit re
joices in the presence of its God.

William Ashley Holman.
In Charleston, S. CL on Saturday,
December 11th, 1915, William Ashley
Holman entered into peace with a
hope full of immortality, after a lin

illness struck him whils at the zenith
of his powers, sxhihitsd during 19
B ra active practice at the Bar, sad
: as hs had finished a valuable term
of service on the bench as a ■pscial
judge holding the Courts of the 5th
Circuit during the Spring sad Sum

his State. During this term he pre
sided at the trial of jury cases of
novel impression and great import
ance, in which his ready ruling* ea

sultation of precedents or protracted
deliberation, exhibited his full ac
quaintance both with the decieiem ef
