THEY WANT THEIR MONEY.
Colonel smiths ONCE Was Crowded With
People All Day Yesterday.

Colonel William =. Smith, who has
been appointed commissioner 30 distri-
butte the direct tax money refunded by
the United States Government, began
yesterday with the disbursement at his
Office at 1902 cast Main street. The
room was crowded all day, and Colonel
Smith was kept busy until "A late hour
When | saw Colonel Smith late last
evening he told me that the work in con
nectOn with the disbursements was ne
cessarily slow, and it was, therefore, adj
visable for the people to hold off a while,
for the reason that each case had to bc
carefully considered. The provisions of
the Direct Tax law were conflicting, and
the original textbooks from which the
copies had been made had been kept in
pretty bad shape.
Furthermore, since the original tax has
been paid by the prOperty-owners so
much time has elapsed that only compar
atiyely few of the original owners are
living. All these things naturally caused
Il good many complications. A man who
had been put down on the tax lists as
the owner Of the property, and who had
paid the tax himself, if he now applied for
the refunding of the money would have
no difficulty to obtain it.

A Destructive Fire

HowARpsvnLE, Va. Sept. 11-(Special.l
On Saturday morning about 10 O'clock. the
neighbors and psssers-by were sstonished
to observe tremendous blaze Of fire burst
ing through the roof of Mr. Zach Lewis
big barn on his farm near Howsrdsyills.
The flames made such rapid progress on the
woodwork Of the barn, which was rather
old building although ia very fair repair.
that no efforts could arrest their destructive
work. The crowd which gathered could
save nothing as the heat was so intense
and the barn was full Of hay and fodder,
which fed the flames to the most brilliant IN
tensity. In the building were four thousand
pounds Of hay at least and two hundred and
fisty bushels of wheat and various agrlcul.
tural implements, all of which were con-
sumed. A stable was under the barn In the
basement. but fortunately no horses were
in il at tho time. The loss Is estimated at
81 400, with no insurance. The origin Of
tho fire is almost inexplicable, unless
spark from a passing engine on the rail-
road. which is about two hundred and fifty
wards of. gnited fodder which was lying
loose around the barn. 1t Is said train had
Just passed few minutes before the FIRE.
