New York, Nov. 11.? New York
City's water front was the scene of
another disastrous lire today when
the factory of the Washburn Wire
Company, which was working on large
cor orders lor the I'nited Stales gov?
ernment, was destroyed with an esti?
mated loss of nearly $2,000,000. The
Patrolman who discovered the tin;
said he found three separate blazes at
different places in the factory, which
I was housed in a series of bulldlngl ex?
tending from One Hundred and Sev?
enteenth to One Hundred and Eight?
eenth Streets and half a block deer,
on the East liiver front in Harlem.
Daniel C. Turner, general managet
of the company, told Fire Marsha
Brophy that German! and 20(
Austrians were included in the fore*
Of 1,000 employees in the factory ant
I that .ill of the Hermans except ont
had zone permits iasued by the fed
eral government. Fourteen nation
a lilies are represented among th<
workmen, it is said.
Fire Marshal Urophy has summon
ed Mr. Turner and a score of em
ployeoi to appear at a hearing befor.
him tomorrow.
The lire, one of the most spectac
ular of recent years, started shortlj
after noon and was not brought undei
control until 4 o'clock. The buiding;
ranged from two to six stories it
height and only parts of two of then
remain standing. Tenement house;
nearby were emptied of occupants ant
ir was only after the greatest strug
gle by firemen that the Harnes wer?
confined to the factory. Five flremei
were injured by falling walls and i
water tower was demolished under at
avalanche of bricks. Tons of barbe<
and other wire, placed on the side
walks preparatory1 to loading tomor
row and scattered through the fac
tory were destroyed.
The flames apparently enveloped tin
different [buildings simultaneously
Five alarms called out all the tlr.
lighting apparatus in a large district
This was augmented by a lleet of fin
patrol boats anil railroad floats equip

A series of explosions, caused whei
the flames reached oil accumulation:
In the machinery, added to the dange
of the fire. Rome of the explosion
caused doors and walls to collapse
sending up great clouds of spark
that flew to nearby buildings. Store
of material used in manufacturing
insulation gave out a heavy blac!
smoke which, with the terrific heat
kept the fire fighters at least a hal
j block from the factory.
The Patriotic League.
The Patriotic league is not an or
ganization. It is an idea. It is a pa
triotic opportunity for the girl in th?
home, in school, in business and in
dustry.
It is an opportunity to render so
cial service to her community ant
country.
It is a pledge to live up to the high
est standards of character and honoi
and by helping others to do the same
This, in brief, is the meaning o
the Patrioiic League, as Miss Mc?
Kinley, National Secretary of the Y
W. C. A., interpreted it to thirty in?
terested women at the parlor meeting
at Mrs. R. Dozier Lee's house Sunda>
afternoon.
Miss McKinley's charming person?
ality held her audience in absorbed
attention as in frank and simple stylt
she unfolded the story of the wai
dangers to the young girl. The wo
men present all volunteered to explain
the league to their church and Othei
societies, and soon, undoubtedly, there
will be in Sumter, probably attached
to the Red Cross, the Jolly Jims and
the different ohurch societies, a Pa?
triotic League for Women. Miss Mc?
Kinley will send printed information
shortly and anyone wishing to lean
more about the service to protect
.oung girls, may apply to Mrs. Join
Sumter or Mrs. R. Dozier Leo.

ELlil?TT COMMUNITY FAIR.
I
A Largely Attended and Successful
Exhibit of Resources of Lee Coun?
ty.
! The little, hustling io\vn of Elliott*1
j In Lee county, boasting one of the
I most modern school buildings and
I best schools in the Pee Dec section of
j South Carolina may be said to havt
I "taken the rag off the bush" when it
came to putting on a Community Fair
' which was held at the school building
and grounds last Friday, November
, 9th.
I At least one thousand people from
several counties were present. The
, j exercises were opened with a public
J meeting in the large school audi
; torium and presided over by Mr. S.
? l _
j M. Welch, the efficient farm demon
. jstrator of Lee County. Hon. Asbury
. IF. Lever, member congress from the
. Seventh South Carolina District and
>; the chairman of the House Commit?
tee on Agriculture, was the special
. honor guest and speaker of the oc
I i casion. About four hundred men and
1 j
): women were In he auditorium when
, j he started to speak and the standing
? Iroom sign had to be hung out short
I ly after he started. Mr. Lever in his
. scholarly and forcible manner elo
. quently defended the president of the
; United States and government there?
of and explained in detailed and
. comprehensive manner just why the
. United States could not honorably
avoid further benevolent neutrality,
if we expected to defend our rights
. and command the respect of the bal
f ance of the world. He was enthus
,? iastically applauded time and again.
^ The community fair was opened U|i
1 by a grand parade of beautifully
! decorated automobiles tilled with
| numbers of pretty and charming
1 young women attired in Red Crost
. uniform and veil.s and in allegorical
_? uniforms representing the United
^ States government and other insignia*
i of the patriotism of our country and
x Lee County in particular. The pa
\ radO formed at the station in Elliott
. and wound its wray to the modern
. brick school building which would b?
. a credit to a city of twenty-five thou?
sand population.
f On the grounds were located thf
agricultural, poultry, and live stocH
I departmenta. Here Lee county show?
ed up in fine style as one of the
c. leaders of diversification, and insld?
. the building, in several rooms, con
servation wras exemplified in practica
^ as well as "mouth watering" style
I Cotton of the long staple variety
sweet potatoes weighing as much as
I ten and a-half pounds and averaginf
up tt) four pounds, pumpkins, Irisr
t potatoes, riee, wheat, corn, oats, whin
s pepper eggs, sugar cane millet, peai
I of several varieties, beans, rye, ir
^ fact almost everything that Carolina!
combination of fertile soils and c)i
f mate can produce were on exhibitior
in the agricultural departments.
In the poultry exhibit were evcrj
variety of improved varieties of chick?
ens, pigeons, g?ese, ducks, and turkie*?
and the fowl all were magnificent
specimens of the improved varieties
The cattle and swine exhibits were
not numerous but were great indeed
in quality.
} Inside of the building was where
one received the greatest idea of
what organization will accomplish.
The home demonstration, canning
and tomato clubs, the Elliott school
booth, and the domestic science and
household art departments were eye
openers to every one except the la?
dies and the girls who made these
? delightful articles to eat and to wear.
The fancy work department was
unusually fine. But In the several de?
partments of domestic science it was
I easily seen that Lee county, and th<
Elliott school section particularly are
up with the times on food production
and conservation in an extraordinary
way that would tickle the palates
(if they could get a taste of some of
the good things to eat) and make
the mouths of President Wlloon an
Food Dictator Hoover water to view
the same.
After the mornings' exercises* the
good ladies of Elliot and surrounding
territory took pity on those who had
been made hungry from vowing the
thouoandl of jars of preserves, vege?
tables, pickles, home made bread, etc.
in the various booths and exhibits.
These good and charming ladies then
proceeded to prove in a very prac?
tical manner that i^ee county women
and girls know how to cook. A most
delicious and varied lunch was served
composed of friend and stewed
oysters, sandwiches and salad courses,
cokes of more different varieties ami
dellghtfulneeg than could DO remem?
bered although this scribe had to eat
some of every kind; ice cream, and
coffee.
Elliott and that portion of Lee
County represented in the Elliott
Community Fair made a wonderful
and entertaining, as well as instruc?
tive and Inspiring demonstration ot
home economics, diversification and
conservation.
Tho committee in charge were
Prof. J. W. Shealey. principal of El
Hot HiKh School; Mrs. Charles Lu
aoua, Mrs. Dr. Mat hews. Mr L. P.

After the fair was over Mr. lt. I
Cooper, Jr., one of Lee counties cle?^
'erest young gemlemen and manage!
f the Mimosa Juernsey Dasry IM
Breeding Farm? of Wisacky, in Lee
County, took the Sumter County Farm
.Demonstrator, J F. Williams and the
Managing Secretary of the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce, E. I. Reunion,
i over to the Mimosa Farm to show
the Gamecock County visitors Just
what Mr. Coope r and several of his
neighbors are cVing in the "Guernsey
Center of South Carolina." Here an
up to date bree ling and dairy farm
was shown, an^ an institution that
will prove to be worth hundreds of.
thousands of dollars to South Caro?
lina as an exan pie of modern dairy ?
ing and improved varieties of cattle.
During the past twenty-seven months
the Messrs. R. Bf. Cooper, Sr., and R.
M. Cooper, Jr., and the Messrs. Play?
ers, Mooneyhan s, and several others
I have invested something more than
'sixty thousand dollars in Guernsey
stock and dairi and breeding farm
equipment.
The latest improved methods of
dairying includ ng disease prevention
j and modern n ethods of sanitation
are in vogue or* all of ?fliese neighbor?
hood farms. Hundreds of cans of
, j milk are shipped dally to different
i distant points. Thousands of dollars
j are brought into that neighborhood,
soils are impro ved, and commercial
fertilizer bills cut down to a mini?
mum, and the county made much
wealthier ther* by.
Altogether speaking Elliott, Wi?
sacky and Lee county are to be con?
gratulated for their progressiveness
and modern methods, and last but not
least by a long :mot for their courteous
treatment and hospitality to visitors.
