A LETTER FROM RALTIMORI
A Newberry-Baltimorean Expres,
Sympathy With the Fire Suf
ferers of Newberry.
To 10,ditor of The Herald and New:
Nowberry, S. C.
Dear Sir:
Tlhroughi your paper T wish to c
press lily heartfelt sympathy to I
loved ones, frie-nds, and other eit
ens of the dear old town of Newb
ry durinig tfhese. your hours of tr
anld trouble.
I learned of your terrible misf
tune t1hrough one of the Baltinn
papers Saturday, but only a brief :
Vommli WaS publislied of' the fire. IHo
ever, lavin.u. once Inade Illy lionl
our City, fromil tile brief nevom
tlat was published. I can fully ri
lize what a severe loss Vou have si
fered and how eritical was the Io
ent. Thenl, too, I canl truly sympathi
with you as only a few years azo
Baltimoreans suffered just such
calamity. True, our fire destro)
more property and accumulated
far a greater loss, but. the homes
our11 people were spared.
While Baltiniore is my native v
and home, Newberry ranks next
my heart; as, through the court
and hospitality of your loyal peo]
I could not help but love your
and feel greatly interested as to
prosperity. Consequently, the n
of your fire came to me like a h
blow and was certainly very pain:
I suppose there is very little I
do towa?ds raising your hoies
business houses from thle ashes
even better buildings t han I hey w
formerly; but you have miy earn
p rayetrs fo a speedy recovery f
yourI grea'( :t loss. D)o not siink intc
lni t han you illhn your I (its'
la' ima,lt' wlole again.
Aga~:ini :ssuingt 2Vou of' ni heart

SYMPATHY FOR NEWBERRY.
Citizens of Laurens Stood Ready to
Render Assistance.
To Editor of The Herat.d and News:
Laurens extends 'heartfelt synpthy
to her stricken sister city, Newberry,
in the hour of liersad afflictioh. News
of the disastrous fire of Friday was
received here with universal sorrow,
and from all parts of this city came
expressions of deepest regret for the
terrible calamity that had befallen
Newberry, which city seems to have
grown nearer to the hearts of the
people of Laurens. So great was the
iterest felt during the conflagration
that inquiries were pouring in from
all sides as to the progress *of the
fire, etc. For the time being it was
all the talk. Here and there on the
streets were small groups of citizens
discussing the dreadful news, In
some instances merchants in front of
their stores were dirawing diagrams
of? Newberry and trying to showv andi
explain thle territory over which at
that, momeni3~1t the work of destue
tion was being driven with relentless
fury. Theire were all sorts of' svi d
rumor fl(lISdioalt (concernCi'ahi the rgn
of the devouring flames over the
dl(omed( city, andt the whole commun
ity of Laureneus was stirred up1 andi
eager for all details.
'There was talk of an extra t rain,
andi~ the fire company held itself in
readliness to go. Mayor Babb was
ready to issue orders5, andt with a
cool and wise head was awaitinig an
ofleial call as lie could not in his
orneial cap)acity pay at tenttioni to wild
a-nd excited rumors. Th'le members of
the c'omlpanly andt ot'hers were eager
to go andl ren!der assistan11ce. The pres'
sure upon thle feelings of all was
str'ong, and some of ouir citizens yieldi
0(1 to it and went to the scene.
As soon as the particulars could be
obtained Dr. Aiken had a bulletin hi
front of the Ljaiure.sD)rug company 's
store giving the sorr'ow ful details.
