They are all nice and speak well of the skill used in making and of the wisdom of utilizing these home products, which are vastly superior to the usual goods handled over counters. It has been stated that Mr W A Fitch won one prize at the corn exposition in Columbia. This is an error. He secured two prizes and they have been delivered to him. His exhibits took first prize for Williamsburg county and third prize for the Sixth Congressional district. The exhibits have been returned to him with the white and blue ribbons still attached, and the prize money has been paid. The writer has examined the score cards attached to the exhibits. The single ear variety, which " * " ' ? J ?il stood first tor trie county, scored points,and the prolific,which carried off the third honors for the district, scored 72 points. There were four or five exhibits from this county. Another thing in connection with Mr Fitch's corn worth mentioning is the fact that on 22 acres of the prolific he made 350 bushels. This is 127i bushels to the acre. Mr Fitch failed to enter the county eoutest. Had he done so, the second prize would also have been his.

STORE AND STOCK OF L.D.RODGj ERS & CO. DESTROYED--EFFECTIVE FIRE FIGHTERS. ' Saturday at midday the alarm of fire resounded through the town and a volume of smoke belched forth from the store occupied by L D Rodgers & Co, on Main 9treet. In a very short time the two new chemical engines were hurried to the scene, holding the fiery monster in check until the old reliable, "Our Pet" could be unlimbered and brought into action. For some time it was nip and tuck between the two forces and hundreds of people looked on with bated breath expecting to see this whole street of fine ^ new mercantile buildings reduced to ashes. But by the heroic work of the gallant fire laddies under the leadership of Chief M H Jacobs and a dozen or more lieutenants, the flames were reduced and gradually i suMued. "Our Pet" responded nobly to the demands upon her and propelled by brawny hands of volunteer firemen, the stream pro pelled would have done credit to that . thrown by a big "steamer" of a I city's fire department. The wisdom of digging the large reservoir was strikingly shown, for had the water failed at a critical I time, the fire would have gained the . mastery and there is no telling whal ' damage might have resulted. The fire department deserves great praise for its splendid work anc * the colored people, too, worked like ? Trojans pumping the water into the * hose; much commendation is du< them for their effective aid to the . fire department. The fire started in the store of I i D Rodgers & Co. Mr Rodgers, it is I:said, was showing some fire-works to a customer when by some means I j a fire-cracker ignited and exploded, ' I setting fire to many others. Before anything could be done the store was in a light blaze. Mr Rodgers' stock, valued at $6,000, was almost entirely destroyed, with only $2,500 insurance. The store,which belongs to the estate of W J Singletary and was valued at $4,000, while badly damaged, is amply protected by the $2,500 insurance carried. Every one sympathizes with Mr Rodgers, who is the heaviest loser. To a young man just establishing himself in bus iness the loss falls heavily indeed but. with energy and industry and a good reputation as assets that can I not be destroyed by fire, those whc | know him feel sure that he will soor j overcome this temporary back-sel and recoup his loss. : It was a dangerous fire and whik ! bad enough as it is,the town is to b* I congratulated upon its narrow es| cape from a disastrous conflagration When you have a cold get a bottk of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
