Mr Justin Morris is home for the

Mr T E King put us in the proper
frame of mind for Christmas when
he presented us with several jars of
peaches, preserved, canned and
ni<?kl#?d and also a bottle of grape
juice. 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. WLB

:AXIOM) FIRE
ON MMN STREET.
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.

A Direful Threat.
The following notice stuck up on
a board at the railroad crossing last
week excited the curiosity of a considerable
number of persons who
saw it:
FAIR WARNING.
If that pistol and holster, with
$5.00 is not returned to the owner
by Saturday night, Dec 17th, inst,
the thief will relfurn to dust. I've
found you out. I mean it. Return
or die.
Since "Saturday night,17th inst,"
has "came and went" and there han
.jj
been nothing doing, it is fair to conclude
either that the thief returned
"the pistol and holster and $5," or
