SECOND GLASS TICKETS.
The movement recently started in the
wessto abolish second class or tourist
fares is not meeting with the success
anticipated. The disposition TO abolish
these rates Is not widespread. and It
looks as II the scheme would be de-
feated. 1t has long been contended that
II passenger charges could be based en-
tirely upon the first class rate. one OF
the chief causes OF disturbance would
be removed. but II Is claimed. on the
other hand. that the general public
having enjoyed the lower rate for so
long time would set up persistent
and vigorous cry against Its abolition.
1t Is further argued that the tourist
car is patronized by class OF people
who could not otherwise afford the e1-
pensc OF trans.cont!nental Journey:
that thousands OF school teachers and
private instructors, with limited sal
aries. are thus provided facilities for
enlarging their knowledge OF the coun-
try. and communicating what they abb
sorO to the children under their tute-
lage. In this respect the tourist car
has become an element Of education.
Generally. the cars employed In the
service are rs agreeable TO ride In us
newly equipped parlor cars. the only
difference being in the quality of the
upholstering and less elaborate decora-
lions. They have become immensely
popular during the last few years.

Shortly bcforce midnight an alarm

second and Main streets, South Side.
called out the fire department to an
ugly blaze in the roof OF the three-story
brick house, a2i0 Water street, occupied
by Theresa Wood, as n house of III
fame.
All OF the department responded
promptly. with the exception OF the
Vigilant and the island reel. which did
not come out. When Chief Cline and
his men appeared on the scene, flames
were bursting out through the roof In
three places, and with better start n
disastrous fire would have resulted. AS
it was the fire was cxtinguishcd with
small loss by the use Of the chemicals
which were once re-churged on the
scene, and with the assistance OF the
l3abcock. The only damage was the
burning Of the roof, involving n loss Of
$50 10 $500. The fire started from de-
fectiYe iiue.

On EOT Street will be Three Story

Local builders have not been oppor-
tuned to bid on any big contracts for
the spring months, hut the game Is
carly yet. Architects have plans for u
number OF residences. most OF which arc
10 be erected out the pike. The most
important structure contemplated so
far Is the now convent to be built on the
site of the present building at the cor
ncr OF Eoff and Fourteenth streets.
The present building has seen many
years go Dy, and 1t has outlivcd its
usefulness rs 4 thoroughly safe build

wearcn the walls. which are OF soft
brick. and the Elm Groves electric line

so the building has hecn condemned.
The new convent will be handsome
thrcc-story brick structure with stone

In this line. he having superintendent
the building OF several converts. The
work Will likely begin In the spring.

Expresses Himself in Vigorous Lan-
guage In Regard to the Palmetto,
Gcorgia, Shooting.
ATLANTA, Ca, March 17.-Governor
Candler Is very bitter In his denuncIa-
tlon Of the Palmetto affair. He nttrib-
utes the trouble to the fact that negro
regiments and soldiers have been pass
Ing through the country and the. sight
OF them has placed In she mind OF the
negro a spirit Of boldness. Z
"The Palmetto, lynching was as de-
plorable US It was bloody and coward
ly," said the governor.
1T Is true the town was burned In the
night time, endangering the lives OF all
Its women and children. It Is true that
had offered heavy rewards for the ap-
prehsnsion OF the incendlarles and that
these negroes had been arrested and
some of them lad confessed their guilt
and Implicated the others In the crime.
But 1t was cowardly and barbarous 10
slaughter them us this mob did, for
they had been arrested and were In the
hands Of officers OF the law, awaiting q
committing trial. The law was ade-
Quate for their punishment. and there
was TO doubt OF their speedy trial and
punishment, II convicted. h
Until recently there was no Iuce frlc-
ton In tfne state. The Georgia negro 10
not Naturally vicious nor predisposed
TO the commission Of atrocious crimes.
This was demonstrated during hun.
dret years OF slavery. The Georgia
white man Is not his enemy as he has
had abundant reason to know since he
became a free citizen. Such outrages
as this never, or seldom. occurred In this
state until regiments OF lrsolent, drnn-
ken negro soldiers, the scum OF the
dives OF the cities north and south. were
qTartered here ard there In the south.
"a mob of negro soldiers ran riot in
Tampa and outraged. women in broad
daylight. Another gang os drunken
vagabonds, in Macoa, defied and tried
to fire on the police. For months an
other regiment OF these ihwless vaga-
bonds, wearing the uniform Of the Uni
ted States soldiers. terrorlzed Chicka-

"The Leesbl,rg Outrage, the Palmetto

committed in Georgia by negroes dur
