What might have been a very se rious fire was averted on Sunday by the excellent work of the Newberry fire department. The fire was discovered about three o'clock in the loft of B. T. Bishop's livery stable, and before the alarm was sent in, the smoke was bulging Through the loft of he stable, and it looked as if the whole town was on ifire. This stable is surrounded by a number of other stables, all wooden buildings, and it required excel1pnt work in order to prevent the spread of the flames. At one time they were throwing six streams of water. At the power house the pump was immediately started and it added pressure to the stream. Just hqw the fire originated seems to be a mystery. Mr. Bishop says that no one had been in the loft since early in the morning, and he does not know how the fire started. It is pos sible that the fire had been smoulder ing for some time before it was dis covered. .The stable occupied by Mr. Bish op belonged to Mrs. A. T. Brown. Mr. T. C Pool's and the stable of Mr. Knighton were burned. Just aeross the street were the wooden sheds and stables occupied by Jacobs, which were saved, and the dwelling house adjoining Bishop's stables, on the other side, occupied by Mr. B. 0. Epting, was also saved. There was a number of horses and smvl4s in the stables and lots, and a numb'er of buggies and carriages, but they were all taken out. The only things burned besides the feed and the buildings were the sta ble cat and four or five ehickens. The losses are estimated as fol lows: B. T. Bishop, $500.00, with no in surance. His loss being of food stuffs. Mrs. A. T Brown, .>uilding $2,000., insurance $1,500. T. C. Pool, stables and hay and corn, $2,500.00 insurance $700.00 on building. A. L. Knighton, building and food stuffs, $1,500.00, insurance $500.00. E. A. Griffn and Company, who had some mowers stor'ed i-n the sheds, es timated their loss at $170.00 with no isurance. There were probably some other losses on ae:eount of water but they twere slight. This has been a fire trap for a long time, and with the wooden buildings in rear of Law Range, there is still a good part of the fire trap left. The young men who belong to the volunteer fire department did some very excellent work, and it being on Sunday a good many of them had on their Sumday clothes, whi'eh were very much damaged and on whieh they carried no insuranee. Fdrtunately, for the town there was very little 'breeze blowing, or the fire might not have been so easilf coatrolled. Jiiry -For November Term.

Mr. John Henry Chappell lases House and Barn.-No Insur ance.-Loss $1,500. Mr. John Henry Chappell lost a four room dwelling and a new barn -by fire early Friday morning. The two buildings were about three hun dred yards apart, and both burned at the same time. The dwelling was not occupied, but Mr. ChappeR had about three thousand bundles of fod der in it. The barn was a new build ing not yet completed. 'Mr. Chappell says there was no one around the dwelling the day before and no fire about it. But even if it had been set on fire accidentally by some one smoking, it is not possible that the saine could have been the case in the barn, as it was being built out of green timber, and could not have easily ignited, and it was too far from the dwelling to have caught from it, and besides, both buildings were burning at the same time. Mr. Chappell estimates the house as worth one thousand dollars and barn had salready cost him over three hundred dollars, not counting any thing for the work which he was do ing -himself. The fodder was worth about $75.00. There was no insur ance. . Mr. Chappell is satisfied that it was the wrok of an incendiary. Something ought to be done to ap prehend the guilty party or parties. The fire was discovered about one o'clock in the night. lOnly on the 24th of August, Mr. Chappell had the misfortune to lose his barn near h-i dwelling house by fire, in which he lost, besides the building, a considerable amount of food stuff. At that time Mr. tChap pell had insurance on the barn of $150.00 with the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company of Newberry County, and $250.00 in an old line company. In the barn that was de stroy.d in August Mr.' Chappell lost considerable. The policy in the old line company was paid promptly, but the Farmers' Mutual refused to pay, because of a clause in their policy which prohibited any other insur ance, and if any is writtei, provide that -their policy shall be null and void.. . 'Mr. Chappell says that -he had never nofieed any such elause in the policy, and had ,been paying the as sessments regularly, as .called for when other losses occurred, and that he had been carrying this policy for seven or eight years. That he had paid two or three assessments during this year, and just before his fire iri August, he had paid one, not know. inig of this clause in the policy. Chrysanthemum Show..
