TWO ARRESTS
Have Been Made in the Arson Case
at Fleming,

Another sensation was sprung yes
terday in the Finch barn burning case,
by statement made by Edward Stew
ems, who is now in JAIL duplicating
Mr.. c. E. Starr, the merchant of
Fleming. and later in the day by the
arrest of Starr by Marshal Dye. When
seen by Leader reporter Stevens told
his story, which Is somewhat as fol-
lows.
On the night of March 80, or near
that time, Stevens says he was in
Starr's store at Fleming, and the lat
ter called him to one side and set he
would give him s. to go and watch
for him" while he (Starr) set fire to
the Finch barn. Stevens claimed that
he refused this offer, saying that he
wouldn't help do such work, and then
he says Starr offered him $50 for his
services and those of another man
whom Stevens was to employ to act as
seEtinel and bodyguard in case of
danger. He further says that Starr
said he had gone to Finch's barn with
the intention CT setting fire to 1t, but
was afraid he would be caught and
had given up the idea of doing the
work himself. Stevens says he re-
fused Starr's offer of $50 with the re-
mark that he wouldn't help do the job
for a thousand dollars, or Starrs
whcle store.
to Starr since he replied that they
talked together at Moore's Junction
one day two or three weeks ago and
that Starr asked him if he had got the
ether man. He replied in the mega
tive and says he again told Starr that
he wouldn't help do the work. Stew
ems says that he didn't tell Finch be-
cause he was afraid of Starr. He says
that he saw Starr last Saturday and
that Starr told him to keep the matter
to himself. Since then he had paid no
attention to the matter until he was
arrested by Marshal Dye Monday.
He is charged with arson and will
attempt to prove by "seven witnesses"
that he was at home in bed all We'd
nesday night.
Mr.. Starr was taken before Mayor
Sykes yesterday afternoon and gave
bond in the sum of $500 for his appear
ance Monday morning He seems to
be very much broken up over the mat
ter and declares that he is innocent.
He said yesterday that he thought
Stanton and Stevens had set fire to the
barn themselves and that they had
taken this course to get out of trouble.
Stanton is a brcther-in-law of Stevens
and is the one who it Is said started
the story that Stevens had offered him
$3.50 to help do the job. Starr claims
that Stanton told this to get even with
Stevens, with whom he had quarreled
and that now Stevens was trying to
get out of the difficulty. Stevens says
that he lent Stanton s1.25 to come to
town Monday and that the latter came
here and got him into trouble by tell
ing the story.
Taken all around the story is a
tangled one and 1t is question who
the guilty parties are. The trial of
the cases will be watched with inter-
est.
Mr.. Starr is a gentleman who has
borne an excellent reputation, bith In
this county and in Meigs county where
he formerly resided, and people are
10th to believe that he is guilty of the
crime

WILL BENEFIT PRODUCERS.
CUSTODY AND LABOR CHARGE TO
BE DONE AWAY WITH.

Naval stores Factors Decide to DO
Away with an ola Chsrge-The
Decision an Indirect Result of the
Combine Agitation-It Means II
Saving of 3 Cents on Every Barrel
of Spirits and Rosin Marketed
Through the Factors or About
$6o,G0O in the Aggregate to the
Naval stores Producers Annually.
The attempt to form a combine of the
leading naval stores factorage interests,
which appeared in a fair way TO succeed
some time since, but which afterwards
fen through, has resulted in benefit TO
the naval stores producers, which was not
foreseen al the time and was hardly in
tended.
The extensive agitation of the trust
question and the decided opposition on the
part of some of the smaller factors re-
suited in calling special attention to the
custody and labor charge of cents per
barrel upon all naval stores handled by
the factors. This was one of the old
charges of the business. and had always
been regarded as a matter of course, no
special objection to it having been made
by the trade.
In the circulars sent out at the time to
the operators generally by Messrs. Ches-
mutt & O'Neill, outlining their opposition
TO the trust and inve,ghng against it,
special Alteration was called 10 the Gus
tody and labor charge and stress laid upon
the fact that this firm, contrary to the
general rule, did not exact the charge.
1t was pointed out that the charge was
in addition to commissions, insurance and
other legitimate charge of the business
and that no particular service was rem
dered TO warrant il.
The statements made in this circular
must have taken root in the minds of
have come to see that the custody and
labor charge is one that can be dispensed
with One large firm recently sent out
circulars to its customers announcing that
this charge would no longer be made, and
it is understood that others are preparing
to make the same announcement and sew
eTal haveprobably done so already.
While the custody and labor charge has
never amounted TO much to the individual
operator il amounts TO quite a large item
in the aggregate Savannahs annual re-
ceipts of rosin are about 1900 900 barrels
and of spirits turpentine about 100000 bar
rels. At cents per package this amounts
10 about S45 600 annually. Factors at other
markets will necessarily follow Savan-
nah's example in the matter. AS Savan-
nah receives about three-fourths of the
total crop, the saving to the producers
generally by doing away with this charge
will reach nearly $4,000 annually.

GEORGIA's PATRIOTIC WOMEN.
Their Part in the Daughters of the
Revolution Congress.

The ninth continental congress of the
National Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which has just
closed its annual session in Washington,
D. c., has been one of great satisfaction
10 the Georgia delegates.
The question of the appropriation of
5000 foe Meadow Garden" made by the
eighth congress, but through some techni-
cal quibble, not paid, was settled, and
Georgia came out victor, due to the ener-
getlc Georgia Daughters, who worked for
us successful issue.
Mrs Robert Emory Park was re-elect-
ed state regent, and Mrs. T. S. Morgan of
me Augusta Chapter was elected one of
Che ten new vice presidents general.
The proposition to amend the constitu-
lion that each chapter should only be en-
titled to representation by its regent and
one delegate for each 100 members, was
lost, fortunately for the Southern states,
as their chapters are small.
Mrs Park, the regent of Georgia, had
the honor of responding TO the address of
Welcome, delivered by Mrs. Daniel Man
hlng the president-general. Mrs. Park s
eloquent address called forth round after
round of applause. She said in part that
