The wagons at once responded and found the loft of the building in which a barber shop and pressing club were being operated to be on fire. The blaze had not had time to spread and the Are was quickly ex? tinguished. However, if the fire had had a few more minutes in which to gain headway, it Is probable that there would have been a repetition of the fire which occurred at the same place last Whiter, when thirteen houses were destroyed. Tho building is the property ^>f a colored woman named Minnie Wright Her loas is covered by insurance. J. M. Dove, the manager of the Star Pressing Club, lost several suits of clothing amounting to something over $25.00.

Tampa, Fla., Nov. 10.?Surround? ed in a "hammock head," one mile from Plant City, an unknown negro who early this morning shot and fa? tally wounded City Marshall R. E. Yates and Convict Guard Andrew Garner is menaced by an armed band of 200 infuriated citizens who are waiting for dawn to prosecute the work of capture. If either of the negro's victims dies during the night it is almost certain that he will be lynched. Marshall Yates had arrested the negro on suspicion this morning at 5 o'clock. The black was carrying a suit case which the officer insisted on examining. When the ease was open? ed the negro snatched a large cali? bre revolver and held the marshal at I bay, backing away and flnaUy tak? ing to his heels. Yates gave chase and was Joined by Garner.

It is hoped that the committee on streets, df which J. F. Glenn is chair? man, and the committee on member? ship, of which D. D. Moise is chair? man, will hold meetings the last of the week.

You will be given a chance to talk at the big meeting on the 21st. What we need at that meeting are men that will stand up on their feet and not only tell the citizens of Sumter in as few words as possible what ought to be done to build a better and greater Sumter, but do it.

The work on the new Atlantic Coast Line freight yard is getting on steadily and It is probable that the grounds will be completely leveled In the next two or three weeks so that they will be in readiness for the tracks to be laid. It wouldn't be a bad idea for Sum? ter to try a hand at getting Capt. Chandler here to inspect the place and its surroundings with a view of establishing an army aviation post here. Mr. O. V.

Pen Mar. 8ome fellow down Lancaster way has come out with the explanation as to how Pen Mar got its name. "It le of Cornish extraction," Fays the I^ancas ter man, and he quotes an ancient rhyme to prove rt The fact Is that Pen Mar is so called because It Is on the Mason Dixon line, with Pennsyl? vania on one side and Maryland on the other, the first throe letters of each state name being used to form the word,?Philadelphia North Amer? ican 60 YEARS' EXPEDIENCE Trade Marks f>j$ ? tsv*"' Designs rt COPYRIGHTS ftCi Anrone *? ??

He makes a better citizen, respects himself more, and has more of the respect of his fellow citizens. Vuu often h? ar it stated that it is cheaper to rent, but is it? When you have your own home you save money to help pay for it that would be otherwise fritted away. At the end of a few years you own something.

Fur? thermore when you have your own home you get the benefit of tue enhancement in value, you get more satisfaction out of liv? ing in your own hom^, you create In your children that love and respect for home that is never possible in a rented home Aren't these things worth while even though it .vpears at nrst to cost more than to rent?
