? i;
. Benson, June 19:?Mr and Mrs A \\
B Burrows have the sympathy of v
the people of this section, the for- \
mer being: called by telegram to \
Florida a few days ago on account \
of the death of his brother, which j
occurred very suddenly. On return- t
innr Knmo Mr RlirrnWS foiind a VerV r

sick child and death was the relief n
that the ministering angel brought,in ; (
like manner bearing the innocent soul i J
to that home beyond assured by the j f
following beautiful promise: "Suffer s
little children to come unto Me and ; ?
forbid them not; for of such is the ! c
kingdom of heaven." A large con-1 c
course of friends attended the fu- (
neral service conducted by Rev E E ;Ervin
when the mortal remains of ;
little Whitaker Burrows were laid t<- t
rest at Cedar Swamp Methodist
church. ; j
It may not be amiss t) mention ;
here that this is becoming a t're i
quent place of interment, regardless j(
of any plan or system. A committee'?
should have charge of the burying! v
ground and lay it off into plots with ! (
some semblance of order. Then,too. 2
those interested in them should go to I
work and ditch, fence and in some 1
manner protect and beautify the j
place where the bodies of their loved I
ones now lie. Whithersoever we go l
whole, we think the fire may have *
been due possibly to loose matches (
dropped carelessly at some time by
the "hands" and ignited by rats. 1
The entire loss is estimated at $1,2'?0 ^
or $1,500, with no insurance.

Sunday night about 11:30 o'clock
Mr W E Snowden, who had retired
about 10 p m., was awakened by a
bright light shining through the window
of his bed-room and realized
that his barn was ablaze. Although
he made all possible haste he reach-!
ed the fire in time to save nothing !
Within the enclosure were a pair of j
fine mules worth at' least $600, also i 1
a combination buggy and saddle <
horse, "Dan," which was widely
.known throughout the county and
/ some people in Kingstree for his '
remarkable sagacity and was an es- j
pecial favorite of his owner, with no f
purchase value placed on him. These I
three live brutes su-cum bed to the *

comparatively new wagon and bug- \

Cole cotton and corn planter,one ton t

corn,harness,bridles and all the plowgear
were destroyed. There were 20
head of hogs, one milch cow and
calf within the enclosure,all of which
made their escape, except one hog. 1
By three o'clock in the morning, *
with the assistance of Messrs Alex ^
Tisdale and Armstrong McCrea, we 1
had the county blood-hound on the 1

MISS BUTTON ENTERTAINS.
enjoyable "At Home** PartlclMted
In by Many of Her Friends.
The most enjoyable affair in social
:ircles for some time was the "at.
tome" given by Miss Mary James
Sritton on Friday evening of last
veek. The entire lower floor was
hrown open to the guests, including
he several -wide, cool verandas.
The decorations were pink and white
learts of all sizes, and the effect
vas quite charming. Hearts-dice
vas played and very much enjoyed
>y the large number of guests. The
lighest score was made by Mr John
Marshall, who "progressed" every
ime throughout the evening. The
onsolation prize was drawn for by
diss Clara Montgomery and Dr W
I Rodgers, and was awarded Miss
Montgomery?a large bunch of sunlowers.
Punch was delightfully
erved by Miss Florrie Jacobs and
dr P H Arrowsmith on the stair-,
ase, ?ni this was quite a popular I
orner throughout the evening. \
"ream, cake and mints were served i
ifter the termination of the game, j

Help Yourself by Helping Us.
We hope the friends of The Rec>rd,
when they come to town to do
their trading-,wiN patronize the business
houses that advertise in .this
paper. Remember that without these
liberal' merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
of subscription would be at least $3
a year for such a pajier as The Record.
You'll find, as a rule, that the
men wh > advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
not advertise. This appl es not only
to Kingstree, but many live and upto-date
business men of Lake City,
Scranton and Greelyville recognize
the pulling power of an ad in The
Record. tf

LOSS ABOUT 120,000, PARTIALLY ;
COVERED BY INSURANCE- NO
CLUE TO ORIGIN.
Fire was discovered in the office of
Dr A M Snider, adjoining his dwelling,
Friday about 1 o'clock, p.m., the
flames spreading rapidly, burning
his handsome dwelling. Nor did it
stop here .for the flames,encouraged
by a brisk southwest wind, soon
swept the dwelling occupied by B F
Patrick, and owned b> W H Carr;
then went on to the new two-story
dwelling owned and occupied by A
S Coker. entailing a loss of about
twenty thousand dollars, partly
covered by i isurance, apportioned
as follows: Or A M Snider, dwelling,
office and furniture, including library,
loss. $10,000; insurance $5,500.
\V H Carr, loss, $2,50o; insurance,
M.Ooo, i; F Patrick, loss, $100; insurance,
$200. A S Coker, loss,
$:>,000; insurance. $4,000.
The library of Dr Snider contained
one of the best collections of
books to be found anywhere, and
was of itself worth half of the insurance
carried on the entire property.
It also contained many rare old
books and manuscripts, which were
of great interest in the making of
our history.
The unusually dry weather made
it almost impossible to do effective
work with che limited water supply
available, and it looked at one time
as if the entire side of this street
would go. It was only by heroic
work that the fire was finally checked.
So far as can be learned, no one
knows how the fire originated, Dr
Snider, at the time the flames were
discovered 'ssuing from his office,
being at the oil mill, some distance
away from his home.
