Big Fire at Easley Thp r 'rst Baptist church building at Easle' was completely destroyed by fire Sunday morning. The fire is supposed to have originated from the furnace and was discovered just as Sunday school was closing, but it had then made too much headway to be controlled. A high wind was blowing and it took good work to save the nearby buildings. This handsome church bui ding was of brick veneer construction and was built five years ago at a cost of $8,000, not including the furniture. It was insured for $5,500.00. Rev. 11. K. Williams is pastor of the church.

No Booze Can Be Shipped to Pickens So far as ge ting w hiskey by expriess is concerned P'ickens is now dry~3, andI has been for about two weeks. The Southern Expre~ss Co. has no office in Pickens and~ it refuses to turn over whiskey to the Piekens Railroad Cio. UpJ until about two weeks ago a fellow could order his gallon shipped to Pickens and it caime all right, but now he has to have it shipped to some point where there is a Southern Express of1ice and go andl sign in~ person for it. After April 25, when the new~ quart-a-month law goes into effect, there will probably be no "ordlered likker'' in Pick ens, a's no person would hardly go to the troule necessary to get a quart and theni go eighteen mile.s to Easley after it. That is, it is nine miles to Easley. I f o'ne opened his package as soon as he got it we don't know how far it would lie coming back.
