Fire broke out in a back room of the Riley Drug Co a few days ago, and had it not been for the quick work of Dr D T Riley serious dam- j age might have been done. The fire started from a spark that J dropped through the chimney into a j flue hole in the wall where birds had made a nest. Seeing the smoke coming through the back door into the 3tore, Dr Riley went to work and soon discovered the flames reaching Dut from the wall. He at once gathered a bucket of water and dashed it into the flue hole.and by the time the firemen got on the scene he had the situation well in hand. The damage was very slight. ? Florence. Times, .

St | CONSIGNED TO PROPER PLACE Editor's Intended Witticism Fell Flat When Nature of Manuscript Was Revealed. George Ade, long before he be| came famous, was once associated in an humble way with a theater. He called one morning on the editor of a Sunday paper on a mission from a theatrical manager. Entering the editors office, he began, "I have brought you this manuscript?" He got no further just then. The editor had glanced around and sized up the tall, timid youth as an amateur poet or novelist "I see," he interrupted in an acid tone. "Well, just throw it in the waste-paper basket I'm very busy just now and haven't time to do it myself." George Ado obeyed his request calmly. Then he began again: MI have just come from the theater and the manuscript I have thrown in the waste-paper ba&ket is your drama, which the manager asked me to return to you with thanks. He suggested that the proper place for it wis with the waste paper." CHEAPER TO BUILD TUNNELS Plana for Throwing Bridges Acroee the Hudson May Bs Abandoned Altogether. The joint commission of the states of New York and New Jersey, which was primarily created to devise plans for bridging the Hudson, has been brought seriously to consider the alternative of tunnels under the river as Highways for general traffic and travel by ordinary vehicles. This looks as if bridges over the Hudson, although talked of for many years, may never materialize. The satisfactory experience already had with passenger tunnels should go a long way toward creating confidence in vehicular tunnels. But perhaps the most conclusive argument will be the fact that while the estimated cost of a bridge at Fifty-ninth gtreet is $42,000,000, two tunnels, one for move- i ment in each direction, could be constructed under the river from about , Canal street, where they would be of the most use, for not over $11,000,000.?American Machinist.

Olanta,November 25:?The people of this vicinity are busy trying to get their oats,wheat and rye gathered while the good weather lasts, Mr Daniel B Hicks and Miss Melia Hancock were married Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at the home of Rev J W Truluck. On Monday following they invited a few of the boys and girls around and a very pleasant day was spent. We wish the bride and the groom a long and happy life. There are a few more in this vicinity who are going to try the same experiment some time soon. "Little Bud" is thinking about it strongly himself. The only thing he lacks is some one to say "yes." Dr R I Moorer's and Mr J C Truluck's sons, two of them about 16 and 17 years of age, left Monday night for the navy. Their parents did not know about it. Yesterday, November 24, about noon, Mr Ezekiel Truluck's wife was murdered at her home. Dillard Wilson, a negro convict on the Sumter chaingang, called her out of the house, he having found out that her husband was absent, and told her he mnnfonmn aa??n WKah aha onfor. VTOUbCU OWUJC WIU. TV 1IVU OUW VliVWi' ed the corn house he followed her and cut her throat. Her little boy was there and when the negro saw him he made a dash for him,but the little fellow made his escape. After j her throat was cut Mrs Truluck walked about 100 yards down the i road seeking assistance and fell dead on the highway. The negro went back through the ' woods to the camp, where the superintendent of the chaingang found | blood on his clothes and locked him j up in the cage. Soon afterwards a < crowd of 100 men took him from the j cage,hung him by the heels to a tree ] and shot him to piecee. It seems that our neighborhood? i once called the "garden spot of the ] world"?is getting pretty bad. We hope erelong to see the times look brighter. Little Bun.

Sheerness, England, November 26:?The British battleship Bulwark was destroyed by an explosion as she lay off here early today. There are only fourteen survivors from the crew of 700 or 800 men who were aboard. The explosion is believed to have occurred in her forward magazine. Whether it was caused by accident or design is a question to be determined by a commission appointed to investigate In the opinion of naval men it was an internal explosion that put an end to the battleship which for twelve years has done service at home and abroad, and lately had been guarding England's shores. There was no great upheaval of water such as would have occurred if she had been torpedoed or struck by a mine. Instead, the ship was enveloped in smoke and flame, and when this had cleared nothing could be seen but wreckage floating on the water. The Bulwark was 15 years old and had a displacement of 15,00# tons. Thanksgiving Day at Hebron. Hebron, November 27:?The people here seemed to enjoy Thanksgiving very much. Mr and Mrs J T Gibbons, their daughter, Leola, and Mr Ralph McEUveen were pleasant visitors at the home of Mr and Mrs C W Adams Thanksgiving day. Rev L E Peeler filled his last appointment at Hebron last Sunday. Brother Peeler has done much good work since he has been on the Hebron charge and we hope the Conference will send him back to us. Mr and Mrs W H McElveen spent the day at the home of Mr and Mrs R E McElveen Thursday. Violet. Cotton Ginners' Report.

Ev&ry lounty in the State save nine shows an increase in cotton production this pear,which promises a record-breaking yield. To Take Oat Stains. PRUIT. Alcohol softens and dissolves many fruit stains. If the 8lcohol is warm?d over hot water it will be more efficient; later, use boiling water poured from a height. If resistant, try dilute muriatic acid or peroxide Df hydrogen and dilute ammonia or Javelle water. MUCUS. As in handkerchiefs, should be washed in ammonia and water before using soap. In case of a heavy :old it is best to soak handkerchiefs n a strong solution of boracic acid* for several hours. IRON RUST. Lemon juice, salt and hot sunjhine may dissolve the stain, but nore often muriatic acid is necessary. G;"aJic acid may be tried, icid oxalate of potash, known as salts of lemon, or oxalic acid and diute muriatic acid. BRASS. Rub with rancid lard or butter Defore washingEverybody is neutral, but they :hink it's awful when the side they ire on can't annihilate the other jide and stop the war.
