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.
