On Friday morning last about 2:30 o'clock fire was discovered by Special Policeman J A Scott on the top flnr.r nf fhp hitr two-storv buildincr on Main street near the railroad crossing belonging to Mr R H Kellahar. known as the "Netcles Hotel." The first floor of the building was occupied by Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co and Milhous & Jennings,the first named firm with a stock of shoes anc! dry goods invoicing about $12,000, while the latter carried a large stock of heavy and fancy groceries, shoes and dry goods, amounting in value to about $5,000. Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co carried insurance on stock,furniture and fixtures amounting to $9,875. The Milhous & Jennings corporation was insured in the sum of $2,500, and it is not thought that either of these firms will sustain a very heavy loss when the damages have been adjusted isy the insurance people. The bui lding was also insured and will be rebuilt at once by the owner, Hon R H Kellahan, and it is the present intention of both firms to resume business at their old stands. The second story of the building, up to January of last year occupied and conducted as a hotel by Mr S A " ' * ? - J L.. Nettles, had recently Deen usea uy the latter as a lodging and storage house, and at the time it was burnt several rooms were occupied by Mr M E King and his family. It is not known how the fire originated, but it was discovered in one of Mr King's rooms. The partitions and ceiling all being confbosed of pine wood, the fire spread rapidly all over the second floor notwithstanding the prompt and highly commendable work of citizens, with the aid of the town's hose and other fire-fighting apparatus. Several hundred dollars' worth of furniture and household articles belonging to Mr Nettles were destroyed. He had no insurance. Mr King also lost all of his furniture and household belongings, his loss being partially covered by in'maance. This being the first fire of any consequence in the town since the installation and completion of our water-works, it furnished an excellent opportunity for a thorough test of the plant's efficiency. Without any conjecture as to the possible Hnmno-p to fldioininer DroDertv in this street, it is almost a certainty that the entire building, along with the large stocks of merchandise of Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co and Messrs Milhous & Jennings would have been completely consumed had it not been for the town's improved water and fire facilities. Fifty thousand gallons, or one tankful, of water were poured into the building and the fire extinguished without burning through the floor into the storerooms below. Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co transferred their stock to the big tobacco warehouse on Hampton avenue, where Mr W E Jenkinson and a force of assistants are busily engaged taking inventory and getting their goods in order for inspection by the insurance adjusters, as is also being done by Mr J S Jennings and assistants in the big store-room next to the Southern Express Co's office, where the damaged stock of Milhous & Jennings was conveyed after the fire, Announcement is made of the appointment of Mr E H Lucas of Florence to be second assistant in the State bank examiner's office.

WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEE?: Every Article ot Merit That is SoldTbese Days is Guaranteed?No Guarantee . Often Means Poor Quality. There is very little excuse for any \ person to claim that he has been . "stung" on a purchase. Fifty years ago the buyer had to look out, but today it is unusual to find a merchant j who will not return the money for any article that has proved unsatisfactory. An excellent example of this kind j of fair dealing is shown by the clean ' cut guarantee that the Kingstree, Drug Co. gives on Dodson's Liver' Tone. I \ These people tell us that any per- j ^ son who pays 50c for a bottle of Dcd- i t son's Liver Tone and does not find it j a gentle and most pleasant liver ton- j1 ic, harmless, but a sure reliever of * constipation and a perfect substitute for calomel, can get his money back 1 just as quick as they can get it out of the money drawer. Dodson's Liver Tone has practical- g ly taken the place of calomel. It is nhsnlntelv hnrmlpss snrp in nr?tinn and causes no restriction of habit or diet. No wonder the drug people . are glad to guarantee it, while other remedies that imitate the claims of 1 Dodson's Liver Tone are not guar anteed at all. adv. Henry G Parnell was electrocuted at Gregg Shoals power plant at An- j derson Friday. He was a dynamo c tender and had been employed by i the power company but a short time. 1 He was standing on the side of the * hill between the hotel and power ( plant twirling a long piece of wire over his head. The end of the wire caught over the power wire, causing instant death. He was 26 years of . age and leaves a wife and two children. xescsesesesssa ) 8 ERNEST JOKE USED I g 207 Bushels oi / FIRST PRIZE IN SOUTH CI (d Mr. Joy e Writes to Et: 71 ' 'We use your Fertilizers excl j* 8-3-3 used under corn were you j) hands of Government Bureau s< (m (Sii J Etiwan Fertilizers Have Grown J) First Prize for Best Acre of Co 7A 1st Prize for Best Acre of Corn i jK 1st Prize for Best Acre of Corn i j I 1st Prize for Largest Ear of Con (M i nnn Vmcholc An in Anrpc in Wi ^ X|VVV VU014V10 VU AV AAVft WW w) First Prize for Best Ac.e of Co: | insist nn ETIWAN | Etiwan Fertiliz 8 nUARI FSTfi M\ wnniikkviw XC3C9C9CSC3C3fl Have you se FOI I-UHU and a fu' FORD F always o Come and 1 : SUMTER,S.
