Whetstone Homestead Bnrned,
Mr. T. S. Rice lost his dwelling house
by fire last Friday morning between three
and four o'clock. It was situated about
five miles below town in the Clear Pond
section, and was known as the Whetstone
homestead. The fire originated in one of
the up-stairs rooms, and is supposed to
have originated from burning soot falling
from the chimney. There were some mattresses
and other household goods scored
in the room, which burned rapidly.
The fire had gained much headway
when discovered, so practically nothing
was saved. The building was a large twostorv
structure, and was built on the old
colonial style with large columns in front.
There was insurance of $800 on the building
aud $400 on the furniture, but this
will hardly cover the loss.
Another Fire in Bamberg.
j Monday morning about two o'clock the
house of Mr. Joe Davis on Edisto street,
near the colored Baptist church, was destroyed
by fire. It is said the fire origi:
nated from kindling wood placed near
; the fire place. The house was a five room
one-story structure, and was built only a
few years ago. It formerly belonged to I
and was occupied by Mr. H. A. Kay, who
sold it about a year ago. It was owned
by Mr. Davis, and was insured for $450.
There was no insurance on the furniture, |
and very little of it was saved.
The Cotton Market.
Cotton is selling in Bamberg to-day at
7 13-1G cents the pound, and the receipts
of the week are 150 bales and upwards:

and civil cases are being tried tod

The grand jury finished its work Tuesday
and made the following final presentment:
GRAND JURY PRENTMENT.
To the Hon. Geo. W. Gage, judge presiding
fall term court 1902: We, the grand
jury for Bamberg county, State aforesaid,
beg to make the following presentment:
We have passed upon all bills of iudictment
handed us by the Solicitor and have
visited the different offices necessary to
find out the financial standing of the
f-smntv i*rx\ wp rporommend that OUT
county officers use the most stringent
economy 'till we can get on a cash basis.
We have visited the jail and find same
iu good condition, but. in case fire were to
break out under stairway there is no way
iu which prisoners could be taken out.
We recommend that a suitable door be
made in front window allowing access to
hall in such emergency and thereby
probably being the means of saving life.
We notice that the commutation tax is
not beiug collected, save a small amount,
and that there is only a small amount of
work done on roads by road hands. We
therefore recommend that this matter be
called to the attention of the County
Supervisor and County Board of Commissioners,
and iu case the present laws in regard
to road working cannot be effectually
enforced, we recommend to the members
of the general assembly from our county
that the law be revised as to give us the
authority to collect this commutation tax
from each and every one liable to road
duty.
It has beeu brought to our attention
that the fishing laws of the State are being
daily violated within our county. We
recommend that this matter be called
officially to the attention of our magistrates,
and the members of the general assembly
be requested to see to it that provisions
be made for the better enforcement
of these laws or that they be repealed.
We recommend that a small roll top
desk be provided for Solicitor for use in
the court house, as one now used is insufficient
for proper preservation of his
papers.
We recommend that the members of
the general assembly abolish the system-]
of having three County Commissioners
and substitute one .from each township,
placing said appointee under three hundred
dollars boud and pay him for his
services fifty dollars per annum.
We recommend to the members of the
bar of this county and to the Senator and
members of the House that steps betaken
to abolish our summer term of court, as
we are satisfied that it is a useless expense.
Respectfully submitted,
E. L. Price,
Foreman.

Hartzog Happenings.
Hartzog, December 1.?The free de
' livery mail route will start to-uay rrom
here to Branchville. This is good news
to many who have been put to trouble for
some time in getting their mail.
Now is the time to talk good roads and
i do more than that. We have been ac!
cused of letting this question go by unnoticed.
We will admit that we have not
i had a man working this problem for us
I but at the same time we want a good road
i from Hunter's Chapel to Bamberg, and if
} there is any opposition in getting the
- ''right of way" thnt some one will take a
; hand ip seeing it removed, and if this is
1 the only dmwbftpk the road will soon be
. started Here we see very plain the use
'in having a good supervisor; he was so
kind as to give us a fine road leading to
i Branchville; now will he do this much
f for his own home town, Bamberg ?
We have had fine weather all the fall
. and the crops are about through.
3 The union meeting was held at Hunter's
j Chapel Saturday and Sunday. A very
large crowd was present Saturday, but
yesterday it rained so that only a snmll
j crowd was out.
