The lire or- ginated from a bad chimney and had made much progress before the (ire department reached the scene. It wn only by heroic work by the firemen that nearby houses .were not lestroyed. The building was occupied by Ca pers Stewart and his widowed mother The household effects were saved. The buttding was owned by Mrs. M. Paniotte, daughter of the l^te Jasper Rice. The loss is estimated at $600 —no insurance. When the fire department reached the scene the building was complete ly enveloped in flames and this seem ed to give Walterboro's brave fire men more courage to fight. The wind was higli and it seemed at ore time .hat the whole block would be des troyed. Mrs. M. Paniotte's residence was in thne feet of the burning building, and it was only through courage and skill that her residence was saved. Waltei boro’s fire- department is composed of two companies and the only compensation for their sen ice is an exemption from commutation tax, which is $2.00 a year Tney have already saved thousand* ol dol lars to the property owners of our town, and should be encouraged by our eitixens. They have been high ly complimented for tfculr heroic work since the tire. Saturday at 12 o’dock. W. W. Speights’ residence on Carn street caught on fire.
