An old Firm.

The dissolution of the firm of Jackson,
Metzger & Co, by the retrment of Mr..
Edward Mcintyre makes another change
in firm which mas carried on business
continuously in Savannah, and at the
same stand for more than thirty years.
Mr., Mcintyre retires on account of his
health, as will be noticed by his letter
in to-day's special notice column but no
change will be made in the firms name.
This house began business in Savannah
In 1866 as John c. Maker & Co. The mem
bers of 1t were j. c. Maker, ]. S. Rogers
and Henry Patten. Three years later the
name changed to Rogers, Dasher & Co.,
composed of J. s. Rogers, l. Dasher and
]. s. Shivers. ~For eight years it had an
uninterrupted trade when Mr.. Rogers
died. The firm then became i. Dasher az
Co., Messrs. l. and F. w. Dasher, and
Mr. j. p Germaine composing it. After
seven years of business Mr.. Germaine re-
tired, and Mr. ]. W. jackson and Mr. w
E. Metzger conducted the business In
the year 1890 the firm of Jackson, Metz
ger & Co, was formed. The members be-
ing Mr.. j w Jackson. Mr. w. B. Metz
ger and Mr. Edward Mcintyre.
The progress of the firm during the last
nine years has been great year and a
half ago the firm was forced to double
its floor space, and took in the large
building adjoining it. The present mem
bers of the firm are progressive and wide
awake business men,
The dissolution of the firm makes 1t
necessary to reduce the stock, and the
sale begins tomorrow. AS announced on
page 10 the firm carries high class goods,
and its repui alton for integrity and fair
dealing extends nearly half century,
making il one of the best and most ia
vorably known concerns in this section of
the country.

is SO vlrulent, no blood trouble so
drive out of the system. If you have
tried other treatments and failed, do
not let this make a skeptic of you, for
Eczema is not incurable S. S. S. has
been curing it for nearly fifty years,
and will cure you. 1t is not surprising
that the ordinary blood medicines and
local treatment fail to bring relief,
since they do not reach the blood, the
seat of the trouble, but simply dry
up the external signs for time; and,
as matter of course, the disease re-
turns, and you are ready to believe like
host of others that Eczema once,
Eczema always, if you have it in
childhood, you will have it in old age.

A. V. Taylor's loss in books was
something over $500, and Thomas Null
holland sustained loss of $3.50 in
books. They occupy the same office
and carry insurance on the same pro
perty.
The law library Of Dickson, Ellis &,
Ellis, which is valued at s25, 600. was
saved from destruction by the activity
Of Colonel Ellis and his two sons. who
carried the books to w. T. Gunter's

and helped out and the loss TO the firm
will be only nominal.

IN the office is Of more value, as they
contain the financial status of every

Of course they are strictly secret and
are meant only for the perusaI Of the
agency and its patrons.
But the gallant rescuer doubtless
did not know this. At least he didn't
appear to, and he threw the records
out Of the window. The leaves became
segregated at once and scattered to the
four points of the compass. They fell
broadcast among the bystanders, and
for little while the people who had
come to see the fire had some mighty
interesting reading. It is needless to
say that they enjoyed it.

fSnAnial TO The Herald)


Washington, April Webster Davis,
assistant secretary Of the interior who
recently returned from South Africa,
believes the administration should do
something to terminate the war be
tween Great Britain and the Beers.
Mr.. Davis friends are talking much
more freely than Mr.. Davis himself.
One Of the attributes this statement
to Mr.. Davis:
MY conscience would not let me
sleep if I failed to tell our people and
tell the world the awful facts which
the whole world ought TO know as 1
know them"
Four times, it is said, the president
sent for BIr. Davis TO urge him TO
abandon his quixotic attitude. To all
requests, ii seems, Mr.. Davis told the
president that unless something is done
by this government TO aid The Beers,
who are struggling for liberty, ne can
not be a part Of the administration
IN one of the interviews between the
president and the assistant secretary
Of the interior, the latter is alleged TO
have said:
Mr.. President, l have seen with my
own eyes the battle for freedom which
Gods honest people are making against
the tremendous odds. I talked with
President Kruger and promised him
that 1 would ask my government and

lief
I have fulfilled that promise. and
since you take no interest in the cause
Of humanity, 1 must insist upon the
acceptance Of my resignation. I must
tell my people the true state Of affairs
and cannot do so as an official OF this
government
Kansas City, No, April IA Journat
special from Washington saws: Hon.
webster Davis, Of Kansas City, will
tomorrow tender his resignation TO the
president as assistant secretary Of the
interior Mr.. Davis decided to take
this course as the result Of his visit TO
South Africa. He has decided 10 de-
liver a public address touching the en-
tire scope of the present war and be-
heVeS that he can best 90 so while free
from any restraint which his present
position would impose upon him.
When taking his departure for home
from Pretoria, 2,OG0 people gathered TO
take leave Of him at the station. They
appealed TO him in tears to state their
cause 10 the American people. and 1Tr-
Davis says his conscience would ballnr
him If he proved recreant 10 that mil
full appeal.
He believes the American peopla are
not truly informed on the situation r.
viii therefore avail himself of an early
opportunity 10 relate his experience
and observations at a public meeting
that shall be free TO all. BTr. Davis
has decided on this course after mature
elaboration and free consultafior 1,-its1

Insurance agency represents the major
portion of the companies interested. H.
w. Lawrence and the Wilson-Sherman
company also carry some, but their in
terests together viii not total more
than one-fourth of the insurance car
ried.
The building is insured for So, O0O
and the damage sustained is estimated
at about % per cent. The companies
carrying the most of this are the Nor
wich Union, of England; the Transit
lantic, of Germany; the Niagara. of
New York; the Glens Fails, OF New
York; and the Royal of Liverpool.
The Lower Mammoth Mining COM
pany. in whose offices the fire started,
sustained a loss OF $500. which is Sc
cured by insurance. The whole office
was cleaned out. the only thing saved
being some very valuable papers, which
were in the safe and withstood the
flames. A cabinet and some valuable
papers all went up in smoke.
F. NJ. Timer & Son, architects, whose
offices were on the sixth floor. saved
nothing but level valued at $11O. Their
total loss is estimated at something
between $1,000 and $2,O0O, everything
being insured. Some very valuable
plans that cannot be replaced were des-
troyed.
r. G. Dun Mercantile agency, which
is represented by George Osmond, has
offices on the sixth floor front, and sus-
tanned $1,000 loss from water. The loss
was principally in records, and is in

at the lever, Sam AvesOn, occupied his
post manfully, making trips repeatedly
through the sitting smoke to the top,
and bringing the firemen alternately to
the floor below to save them from be-
ing overcome. They would return to
their work after getting a breath of
air.
Fireman Angel met with his narrow
escape while standing on the sixth
landing Of the fire escape, holding the
hose ZIG block and tackle, used to
moist safes ana Sttached to a wood and
iron plank. Weighing 500 pounds, ex-
tending out over the roof, gave way
and came falling down 20 the narrow
platform upon which he was standing.
1t struck Angel on the shoulder and
grazed Fireman Gulbransen's cheek,
buL the former was in such a position
that the falling debris caught him and
damned him against the outside rail.
the failure of which would mean a fall
Of $50 feet and instant death.
The crowd thought he would fall. and
some men turned sick at the sight.
There were shudders and groans, but
the plucky fireman held on and was
rescued from his periious position
shortly afterward. Neither Angel or
Gulbransen was seriously hurt.
Chief Devine and the occupants of
the building consider it very fortu-
nate circumstance that but few weeks
ago the large light-well' in the center
of the building was plastered up, pre-
venting draught in case of fire.
Had the light-well not been closed
up" said Chief Devine, nothing could
