Su h Is the opln lou of a large number of the Republi? cans members who have arrived in town, and not a day goes by but some bmw arrival brings report of strong TBjBjtt-Cannon sentiment In his dlstru it Thl* sentiment Is reflected by Repub Ucaa newspapers throughout the country. Cannon Is declared to be the Republican "Old Man of the Sea.' the erne great obstacle to a progressive pollc, . and demand Is made that he be displaced. Before the election It usually wan estimated that If the Republican ma? jority In the neat House was above 30 Cannon could not be defeated for gkaeaker. But sentiment against Can? non seems to be stronger, at least Is 8l*en stronger expression, sine, th election than before. Many Republi? can newspaper* wl oh enthusiastical? ly supoprted Taft are ow demanding that i anon be defeated, taking the ground that his continuance an Spouk* ?r would make It Impossible to re? deem the pledges he made the coun? try It had been expect ?d there would i a great deal of difficulty getting ansmrers to come out In the . against Canum, members fearing th u If they opposed Cann in and he won cut in spite of the opposition they Would be male to suffer.

Ramborg, Nov. 19,?Another dis? astrous fire has visited Bamberg and this afternoon the splendid plant of the Cotton Oil Company, at this place, is in ashes. At about half-past 12 o'clock today fire broke out in one of the presses of the ginnery. How it got there no one knows, but, the gins and presses being I In motion, the Harnes spread to every j part of the building in the twinkling of an eye. From the ginnery the flames leaped to the seed house, thence to the office building in one direction and the hull house in another, and thence to the oil mill and finally to the meal house, all of which were completely consum? ed. The only building of the plant left standing is ;i small house used for storing seed cotton. Three oil tanks, containing aev< ral thousand gallons of oil, also escaped destruction, though it looked for a long time as if an ex? plosion would occur at any moment. A side track from the Southern Railway is built out to the mill. On this two cars?one loaded with coal ind the other with seed?were de? stroyed. j During the fire Mr. G.
