TWO HOUSES BURNED.
Two Men Badly Cut in Making Their
Escaped From the Burning
Building.


At $3.50 o'clock this morning, the
two houses belonging to the Misses
Muller on Pine street, opposite the
Henry Moore's residence was dis
covered TO be on fire.
An alarm was turned in and soon
the fire companies we're on hand and
did what they could in staying the
flames.
The houses belong to the Misses
Muller, who occupy the one facing
Pine street aud the other house is
facing on 9Th street and was oc-
cupied by a family named Nichol-
son who took roomers. 1t was in this
house where the fire started. 1t was
in this house that two young men,
named Harvey Agee and W. B.
Winham, were rooming and when
they were awakened the room was
full of smoke and the hall next to
them was almost a furnance. This
left them without an exit save
through the window and they did
not stand on the order of debating
what to do, but made dive against
the window SASH glass and all and
landed on the ground cut aud bleed
ing from broken glass and that in
their night clothes. They were
given shelter by Colonel Henry
Moore. Others about the house
made their escape more easily but
they did not have time to take their
wearing apparel with them.
The Misses Muller we're not al
home, but those who were at the
fire, succeeded in saving much OF
their house hold belongings.
at about 7 o'clock this morning
the house occupied by the Misses
Muller, caught on fire again, and
was a total loss after the flames
got through with it.
The insurance carried on the two
buildings was $500.
Some of the lady occupants of the
house first on fire made their escape
from the building in their night
clothes and bare footed. They were
offered shelter by DR.. Robinson and
others who reached the fire at an
early hour. We learn they went tc

The growing extravaganza in pub
lie expenditures may well be regard
ed with alarm by the conservatives.
1t is not confined to any one branch
of the government, but may be
found in all of them, and if not
checked will sooner or later lead to
ruin. A member of the House Com

the cost of educating each cadet at
Annapolis, after the proposed new
buildings there are completed, al
lowing legal interest on the money
invested in the plant, will not be
less than $l5, 900 per year.

Pictures of Electricity.

The photography of lightning is
sciences latest achievement. These
are called "electrographs," and are
considered of great value in the flu
ture knowledge of electricity. 1t is
well known that person struck by
bears an impression re-
sembling tree, The electrograph
has proved that this is because
lightning itself has tree like shape
which always leaves vivid impress
sion wherever it strikes. In this re-
spect it is similar to the famous
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bit,
ters, which also leaves its impress
sion-that of heaIth-upon every
one who uses 1t. This great spe
cihc is for all stomach ills such as
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness,
malaria, kidney trouble, and all all
ments which arise from impaired
digestion. II will not offend the

To Extend Track Facilities.

The Cotton Belt road, as well as
the Iron Mountain and the Pee
Gee, are preparing plans to make
more spur switches in their yards.
Business has increased to such an
extent of late to make it almost
impossible to store trains that come
in here daily, many of them to be
unloaded and freight transferred to
other cars. Frequently from 300
to 500 loaded cars are in the yards
here at one time, besides the emp
ties and cattle cars and passen-
ger coaches, engines, cabooses,
and cars on the repair track, it is a
hard job for the yard men to make
up trains often with such an array
of cars standing on the tracks.

An Editors Life Saved by Chamber

During the early part of October,

Major Gibson seems to have found
new fuel to play his U. S. Deputy
hose upon, since Capt Holman
grabbed all the moonshiners, it left
nothing for the new deputy to do,
unless he worked in a different field.
This the Major has done. We find
him after the timber cutters and
almost weekly he brings in fresh
batch of men charged with chopping
down trees that do not belong to
them, but to Uncle Sam. Yester-
day the Major arrived with five
axemen, who hail from Calhoun
county, besides a large number of
witnesses. 1t is said the Major has
over a hundred names on his book
whom warrants will be issued, for
on timber cutting charges. The men
will be examined before U. S. Com
missioner Somervell and either held
to bond or released.

to promote the prosperity of city

citizens to speak we'll for it on all
occasions. 1t would seem that self
interest would prompt this, but
there is generally class of people
who, for some inscrutable reason,
