'v Sunday night, between 12 and 1 Bollock, the town was aroused from jts-hlumbers by the alarm of lire and Bits was soon discovered that Mr. P. A. Alsbrook's barn, on Mill street, was in flames. When the crowd fathered the tire had gained too ttnch headway to be checked, and attention was turned to saving the |*djaeent buildings. Fortunately phere was no wind or several dwellings nearby would almost certainly have been destroyed. As it was by .hard work the fire was confined to r the burning barn. Mr. Alsbrook has o idea how the fire originated, i A chicken coop up against the barn ^eems to have caught first and it > burned so fast that the poultry within were burned to death. Mr. ' Alsbrook also lo6t about 100 bushels \<*f corn and 4000 lbs. of forage. His b horse and cow were saved from tne p.burning stable. Election Echoes. In New York, although the nu? official returns indicate Governor f GdelPs re-election by 10,798 plural r t ifcy, Bird S. Coler, his democratic f opponent, refuses to concede defeat, ? declaring that he will wait for the * official count. North Carolina did herself proud at the recent election electing all teu | Democratic Congressmen. The Democratic State ticket won by over | 60,000 majority. ** ' The latest election returns indicate that the Republicans will con? trol the next National house of reprepreeentatives by a vote of 204 to K 179. tr The "White Supremacy" ticket in Georgetown won by 1,000 majority.) ~ IP - _ * This is the first time since the war that all the county offices have been filled by Democrats.

' At 2:30 o'clock this morning it was reported by telephone that a $30,000 fire occurred at Florence. * Nearly a block was destroyed id the ' central part of the city, comprising the Dixie Tobacco warehouse and the Pee Dee Tobacco warehouse and several intermediate wooden huildings. The tire was not under control at 2:40 a. m. The fire having commenced at 1:15 Origin thought to be the work of incendiaries.?TheState, Nov 3. Among those who lost in the fire we understand there were several tobacco growers from this county who had their tobacco stored in the m are-; houses that was destroyed. Mail Train Wrecked.

This is tilt* last week of the sepmul snloxd month. and tile whole school has settled down to very good work. Still here and there is found a boy or a girl who does not realize the golden opportunities of youth, and is prone to fritter away his other tithe. We cannot urge upon parents too much the necessity of "home study,'' in order that the hest in a child may be reached for development. .Unless parents regard sehool-going and l?*s<on-getting in a serious light and communicate tha* i point of view to t!i ir children, the! work for teachers is augmented, and the possible growth of the children is lessened. Ofconrse, many good excuses are rendered for a child's absence, yet we trust no parent will allow a child's plea of indisposition to harpj upon his good-nature and influence! him to give the matter of attendance} less serious thought. The reports for the second month will be sent out next Monday. A list of those pupils who have not been absent or late this month n i i i;..i i i .. l.

[Contributed bv Miss Annie Davidson, of the 9th grade.] The school had the pleasure of attending a Hallow e'en party Friday night, Oct. 31, at the court house, and all the pupils enjoyed it very much. Mecca Coojxt was absent Tuesday on account of sickness. No one from our school took in the fair last week. We hate only one recess, from twelve to twelve-thirty. The child ren's main games are "whip-lash" and marbles. If any of us miss our lessons we have to stay in during re cess or until we. leurn tnem. some times some of them do not get much of a recess. Eunice Harper was absent all of last week and a part of the week before 011 account of sickness. There was some talk amoug the children of having a picnic last Friday afternoon, but I don't think they had it as one of the leading promoters of the outing was sick. Louise Harper, of the 9th grade, has been forced to stop school temporarily on account of ill health. Supervisor-elect J J tJraham brought us in last Saturday a few stalks of uSojer" beans, which he I ?i ?
