A lodge of Masons has recently been organized at Denmark, and last Thursday evening, at the regular meeting, the Entered Apprentice degree was conferred on five candidates. Several from here attended the meeting, among them being Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., who conferred the degrees. The lodge bids fair to be a v good one. G.

"Forgive yoh enemies," said Uncle Khen, "but don't yoh forgiveness make you foolish 'bout givin' 'cm a chance to do you again." Considerable excitement was caused by the alarm of tire being given Tuesday night, but it was found to be some woods on lire near town. The general assembly will visit the Charleston Exposition and spend two days. Friday and Saturday, February Tth and Nth, were fixed as the days. A bill has been introduced in the Senate repealing the act authorizing the governor and comptroller general to extend the time for the payment of taxes. It is not likely to pass. Mr. John AN'. Brown, formerly of Bamberg, but now of Columbia, was in the city Tuesday. He and his family arc now working in the line Olympia mill, and he says they are getting along nicely. Among the personals in a recent issue of The State was the following: "Mr. J. B. Douthit, former liquor commissioner, now the representative of a bible publishing house, is spending a few days in the city." Representative J. 0. Patterson, of Bai nwell, introduced a bill in the legislature providing that when new counties are cut off from old ones, the new county shall assume its part of the indebtedness of the old county. A wise bill, and it has been adopted by the legislature. Mr. John S. Garris, of Spartanburg, who is well known here, having formerly lived in Bamberg, being a brother of Hon. 0. W. Garris, has been very lucky recently. He was married to a beautiful young woman and was elected a trustee of Clem son College, ins aima maier, au m than two weeks. Senator S. G. Mayfield has introduced a hill in the Senate providing for the erection of one or more fertilizer plants in the State, to lie under the control of the direct ors of the penitentiary. The plants are to be owned by the State, and the object is to cheapen the cost of fertilizers to the farmers. No disposition has yet been made of the bill. The Auditor has finished his appointments throughout the county, and is now at his office in the court house for the purpose of receiving tax returns. The time expires on the 20th of February, after which date the penalty will be added. Real estate and personal property must be returned this year. Make your returns before the time expires.

We will be* glad to receive any amount. Very few owe us, we are glad to say, but if these few would settle a portion of their indebtedness, it would help us very materially. Fire Monday Night. Last Monday night a little after eight o'clock the alarm of tire was sounded. and it was found that the handsome twostorv residence of Mr. Louis Seiko on Carlisle street, next to South-end Cemetery, was on tire. A large crowd soon gathered to assist in saving the furniture, fouit. was seen at a glance that nothing could be done to save the building, as the tlnnies had gained too great headway. The tire originated in the upper story, and its cause is not known. Mrs. Seiko was in the house when the tire broke out. The dwelling of Judge II. A. Kay, next to the burning house, was in considerable danger, but by hard work and the liberal use of water, it was prevented from catching. Some of the furniture on the lower floor was saved, l?ut practically all the contents of the up-stairs rooms were lost. The furniture belonging to Mr. J. j II. Dixon, who is now in Orangeburg, was I stored away in one of the upper rooms, and no part of it was saved. Whether there was insurance on it is not known, but it is thought there was none. Mr. Selkc had insurance of ?1,000 on the i dwelling and $0oo on furniture, in the | Home Insurance Co., represented by G. Move Dickinson. The house was built a little over a year ago, and must have cost $1,000 or more. Mr. Seiko's loss will be several hundred dollars at least. >:hriiardt etchings. !

This eagle has been killing pigs in that section of country for the. past ten years. The way Air. Thomas came upon it was to lay wait at the pig bed and when the eagle made its appearance for another hog he 1 opened tire with a breech loading shot gun. It was the tenth shot brought the eagle to the ground. Its claw measures 7 j inches from point to heel. Air. J. F. Fender, of tins town, is in possession of one of the claws. - J Messrs. Willie Aroore and J. D. Dan- j nelly have sold their interests in the firm ( of J. AI. Danneily & Co. to Capt. J.

Quattlebaum & Dannelly have many ; negroes in the woods, and cross ties are rolling in rapidly. On last Wednesday night Ehrhardt Lodge, Knight of Pythias, held its instal- ( lation of oflicers. \ Judge J. C. Copeland had a trial at J. j J. Copeland's last Friday, and a negro by the name of Orange Mingo was sentenced ( to the chain gang for thirty days for steal- j ing another man's wife. ] Dr. and Mrs. K. C. Roberts returned home to Allendale last Saturday, after a ( pleasant visit to Dr. J. II. Roberts. t Miss Lulu Woodward and Miss Delia ( Patrick, of Barnwell, were guests at Mr. t O. P. Folk's last week. g I must now tell you about the bazaar" ^ and oyster supper on last Friday night. [ It was about C o'clock when the large f store of Mr. II. C. Copeland, which had ? been previously decorated with holly, ^ moss, bamboo, flowers, and Japanese lan- t, terns, was thrown open to the pleasure \ seekens and well wishers of our beloved s Pastor MeKissiek, for which the proceeds j are to be appropriated to help furnish the ?, parsonage. First, we must congratulate c the good ladies who served on the com- j mittee for the tasty arrangement of the c tables, so pleasing to the eye. Second, we j congratulate all those who took part in c the cookiug and tendered their boiled c ham, fried chickens, sweet breads, and many other eatables too numerous to men* v tiou here, but which all found a welcome to the tables where even the dyspeptic t could appease bis traitorous appetite, j Out of the large assemblage there were many sweet and pretty young ladies, and c one feature of the program was to auction i off a handsome sofa pillow at 5c a chance for the prettiest and most popular young i lady present. Mr. S. W. Copcland acted t as auctioneer and kept tally while he was n calling for bids. Capt. J. M. Pannelly * started it with twenty votes for his wife; i this was soon met by a young man meeting his bid and gbing one dollar better in favor of Miss Mattie Moore. Several < other bills were paid in; at this point \ Captain Dan nelly withdrew his twenty 1 votes for Ins wife and put them in favor ^ of Miss Addie Jenny. I don't know why j Captain did this, but expect he thought Mrs. Dan nelly might be too old to be call- 1 ed a popular young lady. "Well, we won't ' discuss that here, but will go on, for the j sofa pillow went on by some one raising ] Miss Jenny's vote one dollar more. Right ' here the fun began. There was raising J done on both sides from 25c to $5 at a ] clip. In this case "woman was exerting more influence over man's mind than money." The sofa pillow now had begun to raise like the stock on "Wall street in ( '07, and kept a steady rise until the lofty J height of $70.05 was reached. The votes ' stood: 004 for Miss Moore and 710 in t r favor of Miss Jennv, making a total of i 1,413. Three minutes were given for more ( votes to come in, but time was counted < out before it was presented and the con- 1 test was declared closed. Next came a ( cake walk. The order to fall in line was given, and about twenty couples lined up at 10c a pair, and the march was started J to the strains of "Georgia Camp Meeting," ] which was rendered by Eferhardt string i band. After marching around the hall 1 tu irf Mr. Amrus Kearse with Miss Sa- ! rapid strides with their newly equipped ; water tank apparatus, hut tlie bucket brigade had the tire under control before the l long hose was put in operation. After the flames and excitement were quenched, it was found to be the wash house in * Mrs. T. O. Powell's yard. Three little I J children started the lire while playing K with matches.

Mr. Eddleman was also presented with a very nice pearl handle pocket knife by Mr. T. L. Lawson, the chief engineer and master mechanic. In presenting these gifts to the retiring Superintendent, the Overseers alluded to the very cordial relations which had existed between themselves and their help and Mr. Eddleman, mrl thpir r?o-ret at his deoarture. with / their best wishes for his continued success.
