They awakened I the family of John A. McGUl. close j by, and Mrs. McGill telephoned the alarm In to the fire station. The call j was answered promptly and the fire apparatus vais op tho scene' before the fife had (rained considerable headway, but owing to the fact that no water could be thrown from the hose the Edwards house was com pletely destroyed and Mr. Qeisberg's home had a close call. The water pressure, was so low when the fire company reached the scene of the conflagration, according the Mr- Mc ?lll and others who live nearby, that the firemen wer* forced to pour wat er out of the hose Into water buckets and coal scuttles and throw It up to the root According , to the statement I of spectators, the firemen could not 1 get the water to the roof of the burn ing building. Discussing the matter with an In telligencer reporter yesterday, Chief Jackson said that he did not care to make any statement about the fire except that he could not get any wat er He said that arter he telephoned to the sub-station of tho power com pany and informed .thai? of tho tire that he got all the water he needed I but before that time he* was power- _ ' inss and had to watch the building j burn. , . f'-:Mr: McGlil said that the fire depart : ment reached the scene in plenty of tints to extinguish the flames .and save the building had It been pos sible to sot wr.icr. aad says .that ?s. it was the members of th? fire de partment deserved great credit for having been able to Save Mr. Gels berg's dwelling.

This, la a question which will he discussed at a big farmers meeting which lias been called to be held on the 21st cf this month, in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at Greenville to discuss the proposition of growing tobacco in large quanti ties in that county. The meeting is being held under the auspices of the department of agri culture of the Chamber of Commerce and it is expected that every farmer who is in any way interested in the proposition, be present. Mr. w. is. Lee, of Tim nions- Ule, a prominent tobacco grower of that section, and proprietor of the Banner Warehouse, of that city, expected hero on that date to talk the the farmers about to bacco growing. It. is the hope of have a croup of farmers of this coun thoso who have promoted the idea to ty to undertake the growing of to bacco this year with the hope that the industry will prove successful and that eventuaUy this county will have another important crop, in 'add! t ion to the preaent agricultural re sources of the territory. Mr. Uavjd B. Traxlcr 0f Greenville, who has taken an active interest in the movement, .has written to the Uni ted States department of agriculture, asking for the co-operation of their tobacco expers, in the movement which Is to be started to grew tobapco in this section of the state. No reply a yet been received to this inquiry but ft is expected that the depart ment will give all assistance u* its power to the Idea. It Is the belief ofvthose who are pro moting the movement that this, sec tion of the state can grow just as good tobacco and ?n just as ' large quantities as the Piedmont belt in North -Gftrotina ?od Virginia.

C- Adams went Greenville Planters Are to Con ' aider the Qneation of Raising Tobacco for Market Anderson people yesterday heard that twe trutnqr is afloat throughout this section of the state to the effort that the demand for ? division or the Tenth Judicial Circuit is nothing but, a political move and that such a divi sion is not at all necessary. The. re port .which is being spread says that it is merely an agitation for Un- pur? pose qf helping politicians into, the line and that the demand for the new clr?uit is merely to create the two ad ditional offices of-judge , and solicitor. Anderson people and Greenville peu ple who are acquainted with the la mentable congested condition of the courts of thiH.district recognize on its face the preposterouaness of this and do not believe that the rumor will hurt the chances cf the new circuit In the General Assembly. The following is what'the Green ville News of yesterday had to say about the report: "Demand for the division of the 10th judicial circuit, including the coun ties o? Greepvllle, Anderson, Picken? and Oconee counties, grows greater each day and the general belief now is that the measure .will become a law The hill'-has already passed the sen ate and has been favorably reported by the judiciary committee of the house. The governor, la said to be in favor of the measure, and it in believed he will gladly sign It. "It has been rumored at the capital eity- that, the house, will oppose the measure on the'ground, that it is purely a political move on the part of certain parties in this district but as a division of I the circuit would create but two new ornccs, a solicitor for the Andersen circuit," and a judge for the Greenville circuit, it is not believed that the rumor..will Influence mem bers of the.,house* There has been but little talk in this city of a candi date for the judg-ship of the proposed new circuit. In fact, every report that candidates were making-, plans to step into the new offices. h.?.v bseij denied. A report comes from Wal halla that a certain attorney Of that town will ask the governor to consi der him as an npplicant for the posi tion of solicitor of the Anderson cir cuit In the event the bill tor a dlvls lo? . la passed. "Tho demand of residents of this district for a division of the 10th Jo dlclal circuit is. I \belie*s, great enough tq warrant the passage of the bill." sa'-d Attorney J. J. McSwaitt, yesterday afternoon when asked what lie thought of the situation. It ia certainly heeded, he continued, and for this reason I believe. 4he house} Will act favorably upon thaimatter. Certain members of the legislature, I though, seem at loss to uaderatand why'this circuit has such an qupr raoua amount of criminal business." "Sheriff Ashley- of Anderson coun ty, who was ia .visitor in the city yea-, terday. said the people of Anderson were mush pleased . with the idea of dividing the circuit. . He said small circuits would mean much to Green ville and. Anderson counties, where the court docjteta are so congested each term that it la, Impossible to even clear the jails, not to mention the cases of offenders awaiting trial on bond. " "A person arrested for operating a "blind tiger" today, if released on bond, would probably get a hearing of his case In.five years from now," aald a county " official recently. He caid the trial of ?an offender out on bond was almost unknown, in this county. This was given purely -as an Illustration of .the need. of.the div ision of the c ir, ni t.'
