HAD THE STRAUSS & MILLER BUILDING BURNED FIVE
 MINUTES LONGER

Fire Was Burning Near a Column Upon Which Rested the
 Big Structure.

A most remarkable and well nigh miraculous escape from an awful death was experienced last Thurs. day afternoon by the proprietor and employees of the grocery firm of Strauss < Miller. who occupy the largest three. story brick building in this city.
 At 3:30 o'clock on that afternoon, big conf1agration was narrowly averted in that Main street firms headquarters. The partition of flooring between the second aud third storles caught fire from a de fective stove-pipe. The building had only been burning a short time before it was discovered and later extlnguished by the fire depart ments.
 Thursday local contractor was called in to examine the burned portion and arrange matters for re- pairlng the burned portion of the flooring. Upon investigation, the contractor foufd that the entire weight of the heavy structure was depending upon one column.
 That column was near the burned part Of the ceiling and the contrac- 
 tor informed Graphic reporter that the building would have certain ly collapsed had the fire been allow ed to burn, undiscovered, five min. utes logger.

GILLIAN JOHNSON BLIND FOR 30 YEARS BUT NOT
 BADLY HANDICAPPED.
DOES ALL KIND OF WORK
When Sightless His Wife Left Him. Destitute---With N.
 B. Sligh Here,

As a vicinity of curios, Pine Bluff just at present, takes, instead of the cake, the proverbial bakery.
 A few days ago the Graphic made note of hatless man, or man who never wore hat in his life. This man is now doing day labor al the Sawyer & Austin Lumber plant in tLe Western part of this city.
 The history of Gillian Johnson, of this city is ia every way as pe- euliar and extraor6inal y. Johnson is a negro man 50 years old, and be has been blind thirty years. Just that many years ago while engaged in cutting trees near saw mill in sn all Texas town, some sap from the wood flew into Johnson's eyes and be has seen nothing since. He was an industrious regro a4d was entirely dependent upon his own exertions for a livelihood. When his vision failed. his wife forsook hlm and he was left sightless in this wide world, and destitute. Mrs. N. B. Sligh, who now resides in this city, took him up, and he has been with that family ever since. There are five children in the family and Johnson pursed them all, when in their childhood.
 Mr. Sligh is now Cashier of the Citizens Bank, but formerly was proprietor of hotels in various parts of the South. Johnson worked tor him at the several hotels, and with ease did tae chores of more than loo rooms in each He could go to any room in the building after being told the number, from which the bell was pushed.
 At present Johnson does the chores at the home of MT. Sligh on North Walnut street. His daily labor consists of cutting and split ting wood, making fires, blacking shoes and washing aud drying dishes.
 According to the statement of his employer. Johnson does the work of two ordinarily good darkies. He takes great interest in passing eyents,as he learns of them through the newspapers, read to him by the Sligh children.
 Beirg of admirable phisique and possessing excellent health, Johnson has been anxious to have "go' with Jeffries, the champion, ever since rews of the last championship victory became current in the papers.

It's pleasant taste and. prompt and effectual cures make 1t favorite with mothers and small children. 1t quickly cures theireoughs and colds. preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures cronp and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. 1t not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will pre- vent the attack.

Never has that county (with one exception, my uncle) been represented in this judicial district. think we deserve some recognition and believe that the voters will give it to us. Mir. Sorrells says he wants an endorse ment term; he should callit chari- ty term. He is trying to compare his records with Elliott, Martin and others.

 MT. Sorrells was given a five min ute rejoinder. Among other things, he said, "Mr. Pindall in his talk says I managed to get fees when they were not due me.

That little fellow com- pares himself with his uncle. There is as much difference between them as between night and day. He says he is going to revolutionixs the Prosecuting Attorneys office and land all the people in this District in jail.

 Several of the legislative eandi- dates made brief talks aud then the meeting adjourned.
