Two Big Plants Burned-TOtal
Loss About $175,OOO.

Augusta, Dec. 26.-The saw mill
of lhe Perkins Manufacturing Co.
and the Georgia Iron Works, own
ed by the Perkins Manufacturing
Co. were completely destroyed by
fire, the origin of which is un-
known. 1t was discovered at 9.03
by a passer-by in the glazing room
of the lumber plant and spread
with great rapidity to the iron
works across the street. 1t was
only owing to the absence OF wind
that many nearby frame dwelling
houses were not swept away. The
total loss was about $4,000, d.
vided as follows: Lumber plant,
including machinery and finished
lumber stored in the yards, $685.
900; Georgia Iron Works, mill and
machinery $4,000. This does not
include the loss of many valuable
patterns, which cannot be dupli-

companies, is as follows: Perkins

THE CALHOUN BROTHERS.
An Interesting Adjustment of
Financial Differences Between
John C. Calhoun and Patrick
Calhoun.

Washington, December 21.-A.
highly interesting suit, involoving
a large sum of money, was filed be-
fore the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia to-day by Patrick
Calhoun. The suit is against hls
brother. John C. Calhoun. Both
men are prominent in the financial
world of New York, and both have
been very prominent factors IN
financial and industrial affairs in
the Southern States. Patrick
Calhoun now lives at Cleveland,
Ohio, while John C. retains his re-
sidence in New York. Jost why
this suit was entered in the Dis
trict of Columbia is not clear but
it seems that there was agreement
between the two brothers that it
should,be taken to this Court.
The papers in the suit were filed
with the clerk of the Court by Gen
M. C. Butler, former Senator from
South Carolina, who has acted as
referee between;the two brothers
in getting an accounting. The

The Eminent Kidney

There is a disease prevailing In this
country most dangerous because so decep-

it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble Is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Brights

tween Patrick and John u. Calhoun
in 1897, which is part Of the papers
placed on file, it seems that the
two men had been engaged in o
large number of financial operat-
ions together and they were unable
to agree as to just how their
accounts stood one with tie other.
So they decided to have Gen
Butler, their mutual friend, act as
referee. Each was to submit to
Gen Butler all his books and papers
bearing on the transactions be-
tween them; the General was to
90 through each transaction and
determine just how it stood, and,
after he had reached decision on
all of them, he WAS to enter suit in
the District Court to obtain a judg-
ment in line with his finding. All
the costs, including the fees of
the referee, we're to be borne
equally by the parties to the
agreement. And it was further
agreed that the referees decision
was to havs the full effect of q
Court as between them, and th.t
ths Judgment of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
in accordance with it's finding
should be final.
The suit entered to-day sets forth
the referees judgment, which is
that John G. Calhoun is indebted
to Patrick Calhoun in the sum of
$1s7 ,O35 S3, with interest Oh part
of this SUN. Of this sum, $127,OOO
is owed on general cash accounts,
$4,000 on account of Kentucky
Coal and Iron Company stock, $S,-
600 on the preferred stock of that
company, $4,000 on accoun: OF
the stock Of the Railway Realty
Company, $4,000 on account of the
stock of the Port Royal Company
and $4,000 on Roger American
Mechanical Carriage Company
stock; there is also claim of
.Ihalf interest in stocks estimated
to be valued at 100000.
The agreement upon which the
suit is based is filed among the
papers and is an intere sting
document. 1t cites:

A movement for the establishment

ted in this attempt to secure con-

continual growth and extension of
commercial relations among the

Of weights and measures is prime
necessity. The old ounces and
pounds and inches and yards ought
to be made to join the antique
pounds, shillings and pence tables

1t is a noteworthy fact that
Roscoe Conkling Bruce, colored
youth, son of ex-senator Blanche
K. Bruce of Mississippi, won the
prize debate for Harvard in the
contest with Princeton recently.
He is acknowledged to be the most
brilliant debater among the three
thousand students of his university;
and it is added that he is one of
the most popular men in Harvard,
and is warmly welcomed in the
most exclusive social circles there.
Thus talent triumphs over color;
and probably this settles the negro
problem so far as a settlement is
possible.

Short-sighted accusers declare
the nineteenth century to have
been a materialistic epoch. Con
fused and disturbed at the sight of
the universal scramble for wealth,
observers Of contemporary tenden-
cies have been inclined to assert
that idealism was obsolete, that
art, poetry and philosophy have
lost their prestige over mankind,
that to the average mind the sig
nincant facts of life are to be de-
rived from the daily newspapers
rather than from works of art and
literature and other products of the
imagination made concrete. New
theless, he who would appeal to
the public at large must seek ex-
preston through one of the ac-
cepted art-forms. Markham or
Kipling writes a short poem, and
the Anglo-Saxon race as whole
discusses its meaning, touched to
the innermost depths of the soul
by words that would fail to carry
weight had they not been sent
forth clothed in the splendor of
musical verse. "The Angelus" is
a picture that has set an entire
generation to thinking. "The Man
with the Hoe" has turned whole
nation into debating society.

The reports of new enterprises
and prospects of enlarged efforts
of mining foreshadow great ad-
vance in development work and
production in this mining district
this year. Much of the work now
in progress is at least three months
in advance of the preparation that
is usual for the work of the ensu-
ing summer. Last year was prin-
cipally a season of development
and preparatory work, and the
result augurs well for heavy pro-
duction in the future. Another
phase is the announced determi-
nation to prosecute extensive work
in portions of the adjacent section
where the discoveries of the past
year or two give reinsurance of the
extension of the larger and richer
veins from which the great fortunes
of former years have been taken
out.

1t is practically settled that Mr..
Clark of Montana will not hold n
seat in the United States senate,
Notwithstanding that he has bought
and paid for it. He is not the first
aspiring politician who has resorted
to such reprehensible methods of
obtaining u senatorial toga, but
that fact does not lessen the infamy
of his actions, nor does it excuse
the deleterious conduct of the state
Legislators who sold their votes to
this ambitious rich man. 1t is not
uncommon at this time to see a
man trying for a seat in the state
Legislature for the very purpose of
making all out of his position that
he can, and as long as the people
continue to elect men of this class
to Office, just so long will the in
terests of the public suffer.
