C. —On the fourteenth day of last May. the town of Varn vlllo was swept by a fire which threatened for a time to wipe out the entire business district. When he ilames were finally sub dued it was found tha eight build ings had been burned to the ground. A furniture store, two hardware stores, two residences, the postoffice, a cold drink stand, and general mer chandise store, besides the express office and several other offices, which had been in the buildings were a total loss, which agggregated somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000, partially covered by insur ance. As soon as the smoke has cleared away the Varnville citizens set ener getically to work to repair the rav ages of the fire and it it probable that in a very short time there will be no trail of it left. The majority of the stores were a total loss, but Mr. M. Murdaugh, who managed to save a part of his stock moved im mediately into the town hall, where hn will continue to conduct his busi ness until the new store which he is building is finished. This will be a very attractive one-story brick store with a fifty-foot, front, and will cost, when completed, about $5,000.

There is the great secret—the corset. And in this day, when specialists are working for woman's best results, the “fat” or “stout” women are by no means in the “hopeless” class. The Rengo Belt Corset Is a specially made Corset for those whose abdomens or hips or busts are largo. The stout wo man who wears I lie Rengo Belt Corset may be just ns modernly proportioned as a much thinner I woman. Ana we iring the Rengo Belt Corsets means pressure, and proper pressure, at necessary points, which pressure, besides being confining, is reducing. In the end the Rengo Belt Corset puts woman in the way of attaining that much desired thinness. The Illustration Shows the main points of advantage in the Rengo Belt Corset. There is first the belt feature, a strengthening across the abdomen which absolutely prevents any misshape there or about the hips. Then there is the elastic belt feature, an elastic webbing let in the corset at. a point well cal culated to maintain a constant but gentle pressure at all times, therebv accomplishing the work of reduction. No Discomfort There is no discomfort in wearing The Rengo Belt, Corset. The lines are scientifically constructed, and contrary to what is expected of a confining and reducing Corset, it is extremely comfortable at all times. Women who are wearing them constant ly attest to this fact. rV y 1 T"> * The prices of the Rengo Belt Corsets are far from exor -1 iWZ IrYICeS bitant.

Interest In the Heavyweight Situation On This Side ot the Atlantic Rapidly Dwindling; ' Willard May Fight Johnson New York. —Interest in the heavy weight situation on this side of the Atlantic is dwindling apace; and un less a Caucasian relieves a certain Jack Johnson of the title shortly, speculative manifestation will wane until it dies out entirely. For a time after Johnson thumped Jeffries into submission at Heno, the big fellows commanded all tne atten tion of the pugilistic element. The existence of other divisions never entered the minds of those who are the bulwarks of the game. They concentrated their time and energy upon developing a man capable of coping with the might Ethoplan. The boom in tne heavyweight di vision was 00. "White Hopes" bobb ed up like mushrooms, and went in to seclusoin quite as rapidly. “Beat Johnson," was the slogan of the pale lace, and a million dollars was to be the reward of the successful com batant. The Johnson became implicated in a government trial and he blithely skipped to the other side of the big protecting ocean. The sportively in clined determined to forget Jonnson. ft was decided not to resurrect him until there appeared a white man wiho had a chance with the burly black. "White Hope." Johnson was forgotten- The "white hope” brigade soon was looked upon as a hope\sß conglomeration of beef and brawn, lacking wholly In initia tive. They were shy brains. The crop was sieved thoroughly, and only three showed latent fighting ability. DON’T HURT YOUR LIVER WITH CALOMEL When your liver becomes torpid and sluggish, you can take calomel and whip It into action, but the calomel will leave your body weaker and sick er than ever. Calomel is a very pow erful drug, a form of mercury, and need never he used because there is a perfect remedy to take the place of calomel, that baa all of calomel's good medlclnah effects with none of its dan gerous and uncertain follow-ups. Its name is Dodson's l.fver Tone. Your druggist sells Dodson's Liver Tone with the guarantee ttTht if you don’t find that it treats you much better than calomel, he will give you your money back with a smile. Dod son's Liver Tone Is a true tonic for the liver, purely vegetable, and with such a pleasant taste that It Is no trouble to get children to take It. It Is absolutely impossible for it to Jo anyone any harm. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. There were Gunboat Smith, Jesse Willard and Frank Moran. Then cunio the real tests. They occurred only recently over in Baris and London. In Gay Paree, Moran made a pitiable showing against John son, while in a London ring b'mit'ti was declared a technical loser to Georges Carpentlor, tne white heavy weight champoin of France. True, the decision was said to be outrag eous, but the fact remains that Gun boat did commit a foul and thereby lost he fight. Even In his fight In New York, the Gunboat showed a tendency for unfair tactics. His transgression of the rules were over looked by the referees, who lacked the courage of their convictions. Gunboat sadly missed his guess when he tried them on Eugene Corrl, Eu rope’s foremost arbiter. So Jess Willard ijlone remains of the American contingent. If the lathy rancher could only be Induced to pay a visit to France, and get into the ring with Johnson, it Is not at all unlikely that a new champion would emerge from the brawl. Willard possesses pretty nearly every quaililcatlon of a champoin. fine thing in hrn disfavor is that he must be thoroughly aroused before he will put forth Ills best efforts- He Is lackadaisical, and will not allow his temper to become ruTfled while an opponent is not annoying him with hard blows. Willard Is a terrific puncher, and is extremely clever for a man of his heft. Willard would stand an excellent chance of defeating Johnson. One thing must he impressed on the lanky Westerner In order thta he may hum ble the champoin. If be would only fermit Johnson to do the leading he would have a glorious chance of scor ing a knockout. O'Brien. Johnson’s forte lies in making his adversaries lead, and beating them to the counter. Only one man ever has been able to make Johnson abandon his watchful whiting tactics. That was/ Jack O'Brien. He outwitted Johnson, and when the Nurrildlan tried to lead he floundered dll over the ring.. Johnson had to laugh at his own lunlcrous efforts to land on O'Brien. Fortunately for "Black Jack,” O’Brien had nonilng more damaging than a wnsp-llke punch, so Jack weathered the six rounds. Johnson has expressed a willing ness to fight Willard six rounds in Philadelphia, ten rounds in Boston, or twenty ovel* on the other side The contest In America would be no decision affair, so Willard is serious ly considering crossing the Big Drink to take on Johnson In a long bout with the rhampolnshlp at atakc. Meanwhile Carl Morris, at one time the foremast “'white hope" lncapac Ity, surreptitiously lias sailed for England in search of trouble. Gun boat Smith Is really the object of the voyage. Morris lias given the Buck ley protege some little trouble in their two contests in this city, and ('ari believes he can prove to the sat isfaction of lamdoners thta he is a suteroir battler to Smith. If Smith turns down the propoai. loin, Morris would not spurn u match with Carpentlor, nor even one with .Tack .Johnson, for that Is w*hat Mor ris set out to do four years ago - fight ills way through the “White Hope” ranks In order to get Johnson. Should Willard also make up his mind to brave the 'brinky, America would then be without a single good heavyweight. GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR TO LOOK OVER P. 0. LOT Mr. N. V.
