FIRE AT FLORENCE.
Another Serious Conflagration Visits
our Sister Chy-
Florence bad another fire on
Monday. It originated in the
Mansion House, a large unfin
ished hotel on Dargan Street.
This building was destroyed
and the fire spread, burning the
residence of the Presiding El
der of Florence district and the
Episcopal parsonage. A number
of other residences were dam
aged. The loss is estimated at
in,000 and insurance at $10,-
000. These amounts are distri-
b u d as follows: Mansion
House, loss $5,000, insurance,
$4,000; Presiding Elder’s resi
dence, loss $4,000, insurance $3,-
500; Episcopal parsonage, loss
$1,500, insurance $1,000; damage
to other residences, $700.
At one time it seemed as if a
large area of the town was
dootried and the Florence au
thorises thinking that they
could not control the fire tele
graphed to Darlington for assist
ance. Our fire department re
sponded promptly to the call
and had the engine and hose
reels ready to send to Florence,
When another telegram was re
ceived saying that assistance
was not needed as the fire had
tea under control.

A FINE SCHOOL.
Dariington Country Can Boaat, And
Justly So, of Hebron.
One of the best educational in-
situtions in this county is the
Hebron High School at Stokes
Bridge. It has always been
well patronzed and the people
are justly proud of it, for it has
undoubtedly done much good
for the youth of that section.
The next session will begin on
October 16, as will be seen by
reference to the announcement
which appears in this issue, and
this year promises to be most
prosperous for the school. The
partons have been fortunate in
securing the services of Mr. P.
P. Bethea, of Marion, as prin
cipal. He is a graduate of the
Marion High School and Wof
ford College, receiving his di
ploma from the latter institution
in 1892. He is also a teacher of
experience, having taught for
four years, two years before
graduating from Wofford and
two after. He has the best of
recommendations, among them
being testimonials from Dr.
Carlisle, President of Wofford,
Bishop Duncan and President
Craighead, of Cltmson. Under
his care Hebron. School will
continue in its great usefulness.
