OLD HOSE REEL
IS DOOMED TO GO.
WAGON TO BE SUBSTITUTED FOR IT
Long Kept In Use by Department for
Sentimental ReasGns-Super-
iOr Advantages of
New Vehicle.

The doom of the old hose reel, which,
since the establishment of the Fire De-
partment OF the city. has been such a
been sealed.
AS rapidly as provision is made by Con-
gress for the purchase of new apparatus
the old reels will be retired. and in their
places modern wagons will be purchased
The reel is thing of the past in many
of the modern fire departments, and the
many advantages of the more recent
method of carrying the fire hose have long
since displaced the old apparatus in many
of the larger cities.
Former Fire Chief Paris had become
welded to the old apparatus through
years of service, and during his incum-
bency of the office every effort to replace
the old apparatus that was surrounded
with so many memories OF the days OF the
volunteer departments was opposed by
him.
Since Chief Dutton has assumed the
command of the department he has given
considerable thought to the matter. and it
is understood that hereafter he will dis
continue the purchase of other than the
modern wagon. These wagons were pro-
viied in the New York department many
years ago, and have proved themselves OF
inestimable value in times of emergency
Garry More Hose.
They are in appearance much like the
fire patrols maintained by the insurance
companies in the larger cities, and in -ad-
dition to the rear step are provided with
running boards on the sides. much as are
the trucks or hook and ladders of the
present department. They carry greater
amount OF hose than the reel and in a
much more convenient form of access,
reducing the time necessary for laying
out at fire.
The wagon never becomes wedged as
sometimes occurs in the reel, and on
reaching the spot where the nozzle is to
be attached the firemen can catch a dozen
coils of the hose and drag out several
hundred feet of it at time without wait
ing to unwind it. Usually two sizes of
hose are carried, making it possible to
place a stream of water on a burning
building without deluging it with un-
necessary water, as is now certain TO &C.
cur if any other than the chemical COM
panies go into service.
Can BE Used as an Ambulance.
Another commendable feature of the
hose wagon. it is claimed, is that in case
of catastrophe II there is a great call for
ambulances, after delivering the hose, the
wagon does not have TO stand idly by, but
can be converted into an ambulance and
hurry the injured to the nearest hos
pital.
Chief Dutton will shortly bring the
matter to the attention Of the Commits
sioners and it is believed that it viii not
be long before the first of the wagons
makes its appearance upon the streets
of the city.

to the District Commissioners a request
that they ask the authorities of the

Forty years ago last Wednesday
is a day which will long remain
green in the memory of two OF Daw-
sons most prominent citizens. The
story is an interesting one.
On July 30, 1862, two prisoners,
confederate soldiers, were In jail at
Murfreesboro, Tenn, at that time
occupied by the federal troops, and
were to be executed early that
morning. They had been captured
as spies, and in accordance with
military regulations were to be shot.
One of the prisoners was none other
than the present congressman OF the
eighth Alabama district, Hon. VIM.
Richardson, who succeeded Gen
eral Toe Wheeler.
But "the best laid plans of mice
and men gang oft aglee," and the
federal officer in charge at Muir
freesboro found his plans suddenly
interfered with in the shape of de-
tachment of confederate cavalry
under command of Gen. n. B. For
rest, the famous cavalry leader,
which suddenly entered the town,
gave the federal occupants sound

thrashing and retained possession.
One of the first things done by
Forests men was to tear down the
Murfreesboro Jail and liberate the
two prisoners and convicted spies,
whom they had rescued from a tragic
fate by painfully narrow margin
Of time.
Among the party which broke
into the jail and set now Congress-
man Richardson and his companion
free were two men who are today
prominent and respected citizens of
Dawson. They are Major B. III.
Hood and Mr.. b. II. Brown, and
it has always been matter of much
qualification to them that they were
able to render such a service to be-
comrades at critical hour
when friends in need were friends
indeed.
Congressman Richardson was
asked by Congressman ]. NJ. Griggs
of Georgia short while ago if he
remembered the incident, and replied
feelingly and emphatically that he
did. 81 was there" exclaimed the

THE NEW FERTILIZER Law
GuANo WILL BE SOLD UNDER DIFFER
EMIT CONDITIONS AFTER TODAY.
Heavy Penalty for Placing Upon the
Market a Fertilizer Which Does
Not Come Up to its Analysis.

The act for the protection of the
public against fraudulent fertilizers
which the legislature passed at its
last session will go into effect August
| 1st.
This measure was earnestly support
ed by the rural members of the legis-
lature, and there seems to have been
quite general demand for it among
the farmers.
There has been frequent complaint
made in this state and others that some
OF the fertilizers that have had quite
a general sale were of little benefit to
the purchasers.
The design of the new law is to
prevent the sale of fertilizers practi-
eally worthless and of those that are
represented as better than they are.
The law already has strict provisions
for the protection of farmers from i'm
position in this matter. but it was in
sisted that others should be estab-
lished.
The new law goes very much fur
Their than the one it repeats.
1t attaches heavy penalty for even
placing upon the market fertilizer
which does not come up to the analy-
sis that goes with it. If crop on
which commercial fertilizers has been
used should fail the fertilizer need not
be paid for, if it can be shown that it
did not contain the ingredients and
proportions that were claimed for it.
But the prices of fertilizers vary
very much, and the purchaser cannot
expect to get high grade fertilizer at
the price of a cheap article.
1t is probable that many of the com
plants that have been brought
against fertilizers have been made in
cases where the fault lay in lax Guilt
walton rather than in the poor quality
of fertilizer.
1t is quite as probable that in spite
of safeguards, quantities Of fertilizers
have been sold that were almost
worthless.
But whether the new law will prove
as just aud work as we'll as its advo-
Gates have predicted is yet to be seen.
