Mr. Burns rooni with a largo stock of furniture and general mer chandise valued at $8,0(30 and a vacant rootn adjoining were consumed. Mr Burns has $5,000 Insurance which will hardly save him harmless. Messrs. Traynhara <fc Dial lose about 87,500 on their building which Is covered by In surance. Messrs.

Their loss is- very heavy, but It is understood that their insurance is considerable.

The Ilartsvillo Messenger has the following account of the Darlington pooplo who reached here hist week to take places in our cotton mill. Lt will be noted as to the high character given them, at their old home: A BCOUO was witnessed at the Elarts ville depot yesterday morning that was never witnessed lu re before?that of 150 people (possibly more) leaving to make their homes in another por tion of the Stato. Last week we mentioned the fact that Mr. W. 10 . Lucas, president of the 1,aureus Cotton Mills, was in town? He remained here only one day and two nights but it was long enough for the faet to be made public that he wanted a number of respectable fami lies to move to Laurons to take posi tions in the cotton mill. The news spread and applications were received for places from all directions. Ml*. T. 0. Lucas took the inattor in hand and soon arranged to take thooperatives to Laurons in a special ear and at re duced prices Yesterday morning it was found that ono ear would not hold* the crowd hut there was ample room in the regular passougcrcar and not iess than 150 persons left, bound for Laurcns. The special car took its oc cupants through to Laurons without any eh tin go. Among those who went wore quite a number of honorable, hard working people and we trust that their venture ma)'prove both pleasant and profita ble. It i.'j quite probable thai othor families from this seotlon will moyo to Laurens for the purpose of working in tho largo cotton mill there. Resolutions in Memory ofj l>v. ?:. m . Cnino.
