The cloud's continue to hang over
Union but they fail to shed a tear. The
sprinkler is duiug duty regularly, however,'
and keeps the dust down pretty
well.
The Western Union Telegraph operator
at Union, Mr. W. C. Nelson, got a
regular roast of stuff to send off 011

were at outs with the family. No
arrests have been made.' .It was a
colored family.
Mr. T. G. Johnson, ovorseor of
carding at Monarch, has resigned his
place and has accepted the position
of Superintendent of Alpha Cotton
Mill at Jone8ville. Mr. Johnson is a
fine mill man., and we congratulate
him on his promotion. -He takes the
place of Supt. Tice, who has gone to
Weutherford, Texas, to superintend
a mill at that place.
We are glad to note that the sentiment
in favor of prohibition is gaining ground

A BAD FIRE IN UNION.
2hvo Ilnrtis, Tu o liotiscs mid n Coy,'
Shed Hurncd. Fire Originated
From a Burning Nest.
THE HEROIC ACT OF A STRANGER.
On Friday' afternoon nbouc half
after five o'clock the ?<1 uun of (ire
was sounded, ami in a few minutes
great volumes of smoke were boiling
from the large stable, in the lot belonging
tu the fOiidenee occupied by
Mr. Win. Anderson and family on
Church street. In a few minutes
the groat sheets of llama had caught
an out house nearer the residence,
then the cow houso on the premises
jof'Mr. Charles Bolt. In twenty
minutes from tlie alarm of lire the
flames had caught the rear rooms of
Mr. Anderson's, residence and were
spreading over the roof whiTo halt of
the house was in flames The residence
belonging to Mr. Fresstnil was
smoking and in imminent danger of
catching. About this time the firecompany
arrived with their hose arid
a stream was turned on I lie smoking
building, then on the fire, -and by
iiard fighting the flumes were con- ;
lined to the burning building, which
had been promptly emptied of its
furniture by willing hands, everything
being saved except some furniture
in the back room, and some
things among which was' a valuable
carpet stored in the out house. The ;
property belonged to Dr. S. S. Linder
and the estimated loss of his property
not covered by insurance is $500 to
$000.
During this time Mr. I) )!t's residence
facing the other street was in
imminent danger of catching. Hud !
it caught several other buildings i
nearby would most assuredly have'
been consumed, this was prevented by \
THE HEROIC ACT OK A 8TRASGEU. j
A young man who had juBt arrived |
in town, a tight wire walker "Flex- J
ible Turner" whose real name is J. ,
B. Hutchinson, a South Carolina
boy, was negotiating with the Mayor ;
of i he city tor the privilege of stretch- ;
'trig a wire to walk on Saturday over ;
the main street, when the alarm J
sounuea uotn Hurried to tho tire. Find- j
ing that the entiro attention of tho '
tiro company was required on Church !
street to save adjoining buildings and 1
that Mr. Bolt's sraokehume and"barn
very nonr his residence was about to J
catch'lire, he took hold of u small ;
garden hose and rushed between the
lire and the building and after throw- i
' ing enough water on the barn to keep I
it from catching, ran to tho smoke- !
iiouso which was smoking, and not-!
withstanding tho terrible heat threw 1
the water on the side next the fire, j
until he- almost fainted from l he
heat, everyone had left liiiu, the (
others could not stand it. lie next '
ran round and climbed on top of the
house and kept it wet while the
llames reached within a few feet of i
him. He canto near falling front tho j
house twice from the fierce heat, but
he kept- his post like a true hero,
until the fire, wlvioh was consuming
the building in front of him, began |
to die down, and the house he was ;
on was saved. We have never seen J
a finer exhibition of courage and endurance
than was given by this young
man, voluntarily and without hope
or thought of reward. In thus saving
tho house ho was on by his heroism
and almost superhumau endurance
of heat, he undoubtedly saved a
loss by fire of $5,000 worth of prop- j
erty, as Mr. Bolt's entiro property j
would, have burned, tho McNeace i
building only a few feet distance, j
could not have been saved, another I
of his buildings closo by would have
gone and in nil probability at least
two residences on the opposite side ?
of the street. When Mr. Hutchinson
descended from tho house lop
after all danger was over, he was almost
in a fainting condition, his face,
nock and bared chest was as red as
tire could make it and seemed to bo
burned almost to a blister. Such an
act upon tho part of this young man,
an entire stranger, with no interest
whatever in the town, deserves tho
strongest words of commendation
that it is possible to bestow. He
stood faithfully to tho post he had
voluntarily assumed, when all others
had fled, becauso they could not endure
tho heat. Spch an act should
never bo forgotten bv our citizens,
and the hero of this occasion should
always bo remembored and oxtended
a cordial welcome to our little city
whenovor ho may chanco to come
this way. Another thing for which
he deserves credit is his modesty.
We have not hoard of his mentioning
the matter to any one unless ho was
asked something about it.
This Is tho second timo this town
has been saved from a disastrous conflagration
by strangers. Our citizens
