Incendiary Fire.
IN NEWTOWN STREET.
Barn of Newton Shepard
Burned, Sunday Morning.
BUT FEW OF THE CITIZENS
ALVAREZ OF THE FIRE.

The residents of Newtown Street
were treated to an unpleasant sensa-
ton, Sunday morning, when it was
learned that the barn owned by that
worthy citizen, G. Newton Shepard,
had been destroyed by fire about l
O'Clock a. M, while greater part of
the population were unaware Iof the
tragedy. Mr. Shepard. was awakened
about 10 minutes to l o'clock by
cracking noise, and looking out saw
the roof of the barn ablaze with fire.
He aroused his boys, who started up
the Street to give the alarm. w. B.
Glover and George Drew, near neigh
bors, were the first to arrive, followed
by Selectman and Curtis Morris, IT,
torney Northrop. Patrick Cannon and
others. The fire eXtinguisher and
hose was brought down from the en-
CINE house but by that time the build
ing was beyond saving. The fire start
ed over the hen roost, and as 20 or more
of his chickens are missing, it looks as
if it was the work of chicken thieves.
Mr. Shepard does not know how else to
accountnfor the fire. There was de-
stroyed in the fire five tons of hay, &c
barrels of apples, several bushels OF
potatoes, farming utensils, valuable
floral bulbs, etc. The COW broke out
of it's stable and was found in the yard
1t was somewhat burned as result
of the fire. The insurance was
only 5000, while his total loss will reach
5000 or more. The fire hose and pump
was the means of saving two tons OF
coal, which was in shed. Mr. Shepard
proposes to rebuild the barn at once

been supposed that if a person lived in
high attitudes that he might become

in the fitting up of limestone cave as

air of the cave is much like the noun

theory it will be good plan to put
some of our cows to that good use

The OUTLOOK.

The Our. coal strike is at an
Coal end and the people of
Strike. New England breathe
a sigh of relief. 1t has been estimated
thatiit has cost $40, $4,000 in losses in
wages and in profits and has made
some suffering and hardship. Some
local coal dealers. who had large
stock in hand, have made large profits,
as a conversation heard over the tele-
phone between two of them revealed
the fact that one had cleared 81, ZOO
and the other $4,000 by the rise in
prices. There are some lessons coming
from the strike. One is that the
American people will be more ready
than ever for government control OF
the mines, and that drastic legislation
is likely to follow soon. Another les
son is that the operators of large trusts
will find foe in the American people
if they persist in holding their selfish
course and cause suffering among the
people. 1t will come to pass be-
fore long that the Wanted rights of
individuals will have to go down before
the greater right of the whole people.
Gambling in foodstuffs and the neces-
stiles of life and corners of the market
which profit neither the producer nol
the consumer, will get heavy blow
when the next legislature comes into
the arena. 1t is not right for few
men to starve or freeze the general
public simply that they may add few
more millions to the many millions OF
dollars that they now possess. The
American people will oppose the oil
garchy of wealth as earnestly as they
fought against kingly power if the rich
are to use their wealth to Cypress the
poor. Give the worker a living salar,

The question of baseball in this city
next season is being discussed by To-
cal opponents of the game. now that
it has been definitely decided Savan-
nah is not to be in the Southern
League.
,s Several promoters believe that a
state league composed of Savannah,
Waycross, Thomasville. Valdosta and
other nearby towns would pay, and
furnish interesting sport. Others OBJ
ject to the plan on the grounds that
such a league would necessitate the
securing of a certain number of pro-
fessional players and that the receipts
would not warrant such. They. how
ever, believe that if such a league can
be formed and only local players used
that it would be a good move from
sportive, but not speculative or finan-
cial standpoint.
