Hi; rur nil \/nrniri .
Chester, March 13.?The
most disastrous fire in years
broke out in the basement of
the Bewley Hardware Company
last night at 11 o'clock, and,
despite the heroic work of the
fire department, rapidly spread
to the adjoining building, occupied
by Kluttz's big New York
Kacket store, and for a time it
was feared the entire block
would go.
The tire was gotten under
control about 3 a. m., after do
stroying more than $00,000
worth of property. The buildings
are a total wreck and the
stock not burned is ruined by
water. Bewley's loss is placed
at something over $25,000, with
$20,000 insurance. Kluttz's
stock of goods, $25,000, insurance
$14,000. The building was
owned by Mrs. S. V. Paterson
and valued at $0,000, insurance
$4,500. The origin of the lire is
unknown.

News anil Courier
Lancaster, March 10.?"Money
to burn" is an expression often
applied to plelhoric-pursed individuals,
but it seems that the
farmers have another way of getting
rid of their surplus profits in
last Vfiki'fl lliirh nrii-ort cnllfin
j --r>- i
They now have money to lose,
judging from the recent experiences
of a number of them.
Mr. Adam Morgan, (no relation
to Pierpont), a succesful farmer
ol Flat Creek Township, is re
ported to have lost $1,002 last
Saturday while returning home
from Kershaw.
Capt. James A. Morrow, who
was born and raised in Lancaster
County, died Monday night in
Charlotte, where he had resided
a number of years. He was about
75 years of age. For twelve years
he was Clerk of Court for Meek
lenburk County. Three children
Burvive him.
Mr. J. T. Morrison, keeper of
the Southern Railway's water
tank, south of the town u,f Iver
shaw, who shot and killed a ne
gro, Hob Hawkins, on the night of
Feb <>, made application here
for bail last Friday before Asso
ciate Justice Ira H Jones, which
was granted in the sum ol $2,500
Toe defendant was represented
by Mr. \V. D. Trantham, of the
Camden bar.
It seems that Mr. Morrison was
not arrested after the killing,
though he made no effort to escape.
After remaining at home
unmolested for about ten days
he finally went to Camden, the
homicide having occured across
the line in Kershaw county,and
voluntarily surrendered.
Master John Poag, a pupil of,
the Lancaster Graded scho?
who is evidently a mechanic;**
genius, has designed and made
himself a small electric motor
that runs perfectly. Ho has
never seen anything of the kind.
He made some time ago a selfpropelling
bicycle, which makes
good speed on level roads.
How often you hear it remarked
: "It's only a cold," and a few j
days later ieam that the man is
on his hack with pneumonia.
This is of such common occurence
that a cold,however slight, should
not lie disregarded. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy counteracts
soy tendency toward pneumonia.
Ir always cures and is pleasant!
to take. Sold by J F. Mackey <k
