About four o'clock Mondsiy morning lliere was a fearful explosion lieaid b\ Uioee up at the time, and many were waked up by J lie report. It causal the houses in various s. ctions of Hie town to tninble as if shook by sin ca'th quake It was some time in the day b fore any inioimailcn could lie gathered as to what it was and where it occurred. It dcveloped that a dozen sticks of dynamite had got wet out tit the camp near Buffalo, and some of tiie hands had laid them near the tire to dry. They got too dry it seems, and there was a premature explosion that shook the earth and knocked a big hole in the ground. Foitunateh no one was killed, several were hit with the (lying dirt and one negio had his face pretty' badly hurt. "What is That?" Was the question uttered by half a dozen people at once last Tuesday evening, hi such a loud voice as to eause everylxxJy in hearing to turn ; in the direction indicated, just in time to i get a glimpse of Something as it shot ' around the corner of the new bank. A grand rush was made for the corir?r, this was seen by the people alonr the en- i lire Mam si reel and the excitement was ! intense, and in less than 20 minnt>s the 1 streets had 1 he appearance of a big sale 1 day with cotton goinsat t) cents a pound. 1 Business was completely parah z d for half an hour, merchants went to see j 1 while clerks crowded -each oilier in the < doors to get a glimpse of something they had no idea what.

Dorr, who left 1 Laurens after 2 o'clock Tuesday evening and arrived here ot 0:.'10.
