ROOF CAvED TX.
Peculiar Accident at Southington
 Rolling Mill.

hOlll1S MILL
 Southington, July BOA most pecu- liar accident occurred at 5:15 yester- day afternoon, when the big roof. cov- ering the entire rolling mill, caved in, making q terrific noise and sending up large clouds of dust. The roof q short time ago was slated, which is probably the cause of the accident. The tfmbers were small and the great weight was too much for them.
 Fortunately no one was hurt, al- though there were a large number of men in the mill.
 The fire alarm was rung in case any of the wood should take fire from the red hot furnaces. A large crowd gath cred to see the wreck The mill start ed up yesterday after q three weeks shutdown, and the accident will neces- sitate the closing of the mill for a long time The amount of the damage has not yet been determined, but will probably be large.

tuues of the lost cause. But many Of them are full of good stories, and l recall one story told me by an old confederate now running a livery stable in Chattanooga. He is fond of telling it on himself. It was during one of the preliminary skirmishes at Chickamauga.
 ''The federal troops had reached the top of the hill, and the confeder- ates had been forced down on the other side. They hid behind stumps of trees, fell over behind logs and sought other places of concealment in their effort to escape Yankee bull lets. I fell over behind log, with my face down. said the Chattanooga liveryman, and I could hear the Yankee bullets whistling over my head or burying themselves in the log behind which I was hiding.
 <. Tn hugging up close to the log l had showed my face in hornets nest. The hornets covered my face and head, and I lay there picking them off one at time until I found an opportunity to escape. Soon after that I met ragged looking soldier, and he said: "Great goodness, Jim, what on earth is the matter with your face?" I told him I had showed it into hornets nest while lodging Yankee bullets. "You must have suf- fered fearfully,'' he said. "No," re- piled, .'I never experienced more de- licious feeling in my life,'' and really I never enjoyed anything so much as I did the sting of those hornets" The old liveryman chuckled over the story, and no edoubt he really felt that the hornets nest was a pleasure resort under the circumstances"

a Tribute to- the Memory of Mai.
James stewart.

Editor Morning News: There comes
TO me through the columns of the
News, sad tidings that another of the
"Old Guard" has passed out of this,
into the new life. leaving for his COM
rades only a. memory of a faithful,
valued friend.
Mai. James Stewart of the brigade
the First Regiment. During the try.
ing season when, under Gen. Hood, we
made the Tennessee campaign, en-
during hunger and thirst and cold, also
the sting of defeat, at Franklin, he
bore himself with something more than
patience; not a murmur of discomfort,
and sometimes when the rain and sleet
seemed more than mortal could endure,
his CHEEKY voice would sound a note so
encouraging I almost fancied that we
were on a pleasure excursion. instead
of enduring hardships similar to our
forefathers at Valley Forge"
No matter what the emergency. for
him there was always a ray of sun
shine, and he possessed the faculty of
imparting something of it to all about
him. When hostilities had closed, and
we were again in our Savannah home,
all poor together, it was my privilege
to see much of him.
In all his business relations he was
the soul of honor; it seemed to me as
though all his >inclinations were in the
direction of right living, pointing ever
upward, and somehow influencing 9TH
ers to move in the same direction. His
friends were legion. there never could
have been an enemy. Warm hearted,
gentle as a child, yet firm in the per-
fcrmance of duty. he seemed as one
born and commissioned to teach men
the value of right-living as well as the
joy of it. had anticipated the pleas
ure of grasping his hand during Fair
week. and of hearing his word of well
come, but this cannot be. yet I'm some
brighter cline he WIN bid me good
morning"
! realize that but feebly express the
feelings of others who knew and loved
him during the dark days. Lachlison,
Elliott, Hull, Hopkins, Olmstead and
others will know that the task is well
come one to the writer and will join
in this tribute to a departed comrade.
May his spirit rest in peace.

Mr., Luther Says That's Why Some
Question the Y. NJ. G. A. system.
Mr., D. E. Luther. general secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton at Atlanta. made a talk yester-
day morning at Epworth Methodist
Church, and last night at Wesley
Monumental Church. The congrega-
tons that heard him were impressed
by his earnestness and were interested
in the experiences of one closely and
Importantly allied with Y. NJ. c. A.
work
Mr.. Luther spoke along the line of
the Importance of this definite effort on
the part of young men,, because of the
great responsibility that rests upon
them for the future of the church, of
the state, of the home and of society.
The association, he said, with its COM
plete and perfect organization, can
reach the young men of the country as
can no other institution, and it should
receive the encouragement of all. It's
influence for good over young men is
great, he declared, and works through
agencies that experience has demon
strated as wise.
Some. Mr.. Luther said, do not un-
derstand all about the system that is
employed by the association. and they
therefore wonder at it. With an IN
derstanding. however, comes a CONS
prehension of why it is employed 1t
is then seen that there was wisdom
in the choice of the means through
which the association operates to an
end He gave an illustration of a
young man of his knowledge, who had
entered the Y. NJ. c, A. for no other
reason than the advantage 1t afforded
for physical culture. He was infidel
and no higher purpose than the per-
lection of the body in a physical way
swayed him. The influence about him
in the Y. NJ. c. A., however, converted
him, and he became one of the most
successful and capable secretaries of
!. the association. Another instance was
recited of young man who had oper-
ated an elevator at a small weekly
salary. He had taken advantage of
the opportunity offered by the educa-
tional department of the Y. NJ. c. A.
and within two years became a bank
