The boiler shed of the planing mill of the Betts lumber plant at New Sumter was burned Saturday night at 11:10. The origin of the fire has not been determined, but there is a suspicion that it was the work of an incindiary. The loss was about $350. The fire was confined to the boiler shed by hard work, but for a time the whole plant was in danger. e World over rticle of human food received such em* tmmendation for ef illness and whole from fhe mcst enf authorities. POWDER Ighest award when impetttton A FIRE AT NOON SATURDAY. Sue Peters' House Comes Near Being Destroyed by Fire. About noon Saturday the fire alarm was sounded and the department turned out to find that a blaze had started in the house of Sue Peters at the corner of Bartlett and Council streets. The fire originated in the kitchen from a defective flue. It soon got into the attic, between the ceil? ing and the tin roof. In that place it was hard to handle. The firemen I fought hard and succeeded in confln I ing the flames to the roof. i This was the best house in the city owned and occupied by colored peo? ple. When built it cost in the neigh? borhood of $5,000. The furniture was of the best, the house being beautifully furnished. The furnishing alone cost several thousand dollars. The furniture was all taken from the house, but was considerably dam? aged, both by being broken and by water. Some insurance was carried, probably enough to cover the dam? age.
