The property was valu I ed at about $14,000.00. Insurance aniounte<l to $9,000.00. - The fire originated in the old boiler ! room. c Last year Mr. Odorn installed a I crudeoil engine to run the gins. The | old steam boiler and engine have J been used for quite a while to opI erate the planing mill of Maynard & Godfrey. The boiler had not been I moved from the gin property. Shavings had been piled against the wal lin the boiler room and these caught fire during a short absence of the fireman, Mr. W. J. Adams.

Douglass Chesterfield; Jule McGregor, Ruby; J. E. Agerton and1 J. D. Redfearn, Pageland They all came back enthusiastic in their praises of Clinton hospitality. The success of the project now seems assured. The State Highway Commission^was represented by two engineers and they stated the plan met with their approval. It is believed the Federal authorities will endorse it, as it is an inter-statc proposition. Most important, from the Chesterfield county point of view, is that this route, from Cheraw to Pageland and thence to Lancaster, was adopted.

ROAD HOG GETS AWAY WITH IT . i An unknown road hog, driving a Hudson car, last Tuesday evning col. li'lV with the Dort car of Mrs. Madge Curtis, in which were Mrs. L. H. | L,Trotti, Mrs. G. K. Lanev and Mrs. , I | Curtis Returning from Florence the three ladies were crossing the- Thompson | creek bridge. This bridge and the j approach are single track. When ; they were about to leave the bridge, two cars were seen approaching. The first one did the usual thing, pulle:l up by the side of the road to allow the car that had right-of-way on a narrow bridge, to pass. Rut not so the Hudson, the cultured driver of this ear, evidently possessed ton 1 much self-importance to consider not only courtesies of the road, but ( even the rules of safety. At a high speed he passed around the car that stopped, dashed up the narrow bridge approach and struck the car contain! ing three ladies head on. j Did this knight of the road then realize the extreme ugliness of his conduct, apologize to the ladies, in- j quire after damages and offer assisItance? i Not on your life. If there was a drop of real man-blood in his veins I he managed to keep it in subjection. He stopped long enough to examine his own car and to angrily tell the ladies they were on the wrong side and were to blame, j The wrong s;dt, of a narrow onetrack bridge! It is a pitty this man was not rec1 ognized and his name published. He should be well known, so that unprotected ladies ajid children and even unarmed men may jump into the creek for safety when they meet him in such places.
