SET Coffin ON FIRE.
A SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION MAR
ROWLY AVERTED.

A Bale of Cotton IN MERGERS Wareyard
Discovered on Fire Saturday Night.
The Work If an Incendiary.
A serious confagration was narrowly
averted in Dawson Saturday night.
Between seven and eight o'clock that
night Willie Dillon, son of Captain W.
C. Dillon, reported to Chief of Police
Savage that, while passing Mr.. j. R.
MERGERS warehouse, he smelled cotton
burning.
The chief, in company with Policeman
Arnett and young Dillon, went to make
an rvestigatiOn. In the yard in the rear
of the warehouse they found bale of cot
ton that was closely surrounded by sew
enty-five or hundred other bales slowly
burning. The fire had burned over two
or three feet of the surface of the bale,
and but for the timely discovery all
of the cotton would have been enveloped
in flames in a few minutes and disaS-
triOus conflagratiOn resulted.
The fire was evidently of incendiary
origin. 1t was not possible for it to have
been caused by carelessness with tire OF
some one passing, as two or three
bales of cotton were between the burning
bale and the street, and it could not have
been fired except by reaching around the
outer bale, which had to be moved before
the fire could be distinguished,
Had the fire not been discovered as
early as it was the warehouse and
several business houses would very
probably have gone up in smoke.

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

man who holds a. responsible position
with the Southern Railway in Macon,
was united in marriage to Miss Lollie
Markham, of Atlanta, last Wednesday.

performed in an impressive and solemn
manner by Rev. E. Fl. Barrett.
"The bridal party left the church and
were driven at once to the handsome
apartments of Captain and Mrs. Robert
Lowry at the Kimball, where a most
delightful breakfast was served. The
table at which the guests were seated
was of beautiful old mahogany and has
been in Mrs. Lowry's family for genera
lions. 1t is also the one at which La
Fayette was often Toasted when he visited
this country in 1924. Mrs. Lowry's
mother and father partook of their wed
ding supper ifrom its shining surface
and yesterday it was decked in honor of
one of the most beautiful girls in Geor

WHO KILLED TURNER?

Gang Died Saturday Morning.
Jim Turner, the young darkey who
was shot at negro frolic at the head
ouarters of the Central railroads section
gang, about three miles above Dawson,
on the night of tie 23rd Of last
month. died from his wound Saturday
morning after lingering three weeks,
Coroner Daniel summoned jury and
held an inquest during the day. The
iury was unable to unravel the MYSTERY
of the killing, and made verdict to the
effect that the negro died from a wound
indicted by an unknown person.
When Turner was first shot it was re-
ported that 1T was accidentally done by
John Mcleod, the section boss, while
he was shooting at another negro with
whom he had previously had fuss. 1t
seems now, however, that there is
considerable doubt about this. Turner
was shot IN the left side, and there was
evidence before the coroner's jury that
Mcleod was standing to the right of him
while the shooting was going on, which
preeludes the possibility of the ball from
his pistol being the leaden messenger of
death.
TWAS also in evidence that the negro
at whom Mcleod was shooting, dis
charged IA pistol one time during the
melee
There was considerable conflicting
test nlony, and it will probably never be
known who killed Jim Turner,

ColorinC Wood.

To produce upon new wood the APP
pearance of age is something upon
which a great deal of time, money and
thought has been expended. A new
dye or stain that promises to be more
satisfactory than any heretofore used
is made by adding to one thousand
parts of wats9 fifty parts of CONNER
cial alizaria. Into this ammonia is
put, drop by drop, until portion of
the liquid taken from the bulk and agi-
tated gives off distinct ammonia odor.
This stain will color maple to a red
brown, giving it the appearance of age
that is so much desired by lovers of fine
furniture. Under the same treatment,
oak takes on a yellow-brown. After
treatment with calcium chloride gives
q much darker and richer color. The
value of many sorts of wood is greatly
increased by dark coloring, and as this
stain strikes deep into the wood, it is
at once practical and of good deal of
commercial mportance.-N. Y. Ledger.
