CAUGHT FIRE
Blaze Found in Two of the Ware
houses, But Little Damage
Done. Fire at Oil Mill.

Dawson's efficient paid fire depart
ment has made three runs during the
past week, though it was not COMPEL
ed to run far to answer two of the
three.
On Tuesday afternoon of last week
two bales of cotton were discovered
afire in the warehouse of Thornton q
Nasworthy. These were extinguished
with loss OF about So.
The same night two bales were dis
covered to be on fire at the warehouse
OF Perry & Roberts. These were also
quickly extinguished, the loss being
about the same as III the previous
fire.
The department responded to an
alarm from the Dawson oil mill Thurs
day afternoon. A hot box near the
ceiling caused the trouble, but the
flames were controlled readily and the
damage was insignificant.
The efficiency of DawsUn's paid fire
department is demonstrated by the
fact that during the present year
alarms have been answered involving
an aggregate risk of S85, 900, with total
damages incurred of only $780,

INVESTIGATING COTTON.
Department of Agriculture Send
ing Agents South.

A number of special agents of the
United States department of agricult-
ure have left Washington for the south
for the purpose OF investigating GER
tain features of the cotton movement.
Statistician Hyde'5 estimate of the
amount of cotton actually grown dur
ing the year 1901-l902 and the report
of the census Office as to the amount
ginned during the year both differ
considerably from the amount mark,
eted, according to commercial re-
ports.
The department believes the differ
ence is made up largely of cotton car
ried over from preceding years aud OF
lirters and repacks.
No expense will be spared, it is said
in an Investigation as to what the
commercial crop really amounted to
and what it consisted OF, and full
statement of the result will be made
public by the statistician.

THINGS ARE RED HOT
DOWN In CLAY COUNTY
POLITICAL POT IS BOILING THERE As
1T NEVER DID BEFORE.
Alleged Plot TO InCite Riot and Drt'e
Voters from the Polls Is Said to
Have Been Unearthed.

The democrats of Clay county ala
not have a primary this year to noml'
nate a representative and county oHi-
GERS. and one OF the bitterest cam
paigns ever known in Georgia Will era
there in the election today There
are TWO factions there, and the county
Is aroused from one end TO the other,
and is a seething hotbed of politics.
Each faction has full set of candi-
dates in the field, one headed by Clar-
ence Wilson for the legislature and
The other by w. J. Greene, both OF
whom have represented the county,
and there are charges and counter
charges of every conceivable charac-
ger.
Some idea of the situation down
ahere may be had from reading the
following extract from an article In
she last issue of the FIT. Gaines Sentl-
mel:
There have been some strange de-
velopments in the political situation IN
this county this acknowledgements
which have been the occasion OF gen
eral CONSERVATION and placed certain
parties 10 an embarrassing predlca-
ment.
"Despairing OF controlling the. negro
voters, it is an open secret that certain
ones who have styled themselves the
leaders of the dry side, the law and
order advocates, the moral element,
etc, have boosted that the colored vot-
ers should not exercise their right OF
franchise, but no one dreamed OF the
extreme measures they proposed re-
sorting to in order to carry out their
purpose. Hence, when several gen
tlemen from Early county came to tt.
Gaines Tuesday and exposed plot
entailing a possible riot and the kill
ing of several negroes and the more
serious consequences naturally to be
expected, there was of course a great
commotion and much Indignation.
THE facts concisely stated, as they
were furnished to US, are as follows:
Mr.. T. j. Bryant, well known citizen
Of Early county, states that some time
since he was informed that certain
parties in FIT. Gaines desired to engage
ahe services of himself and others to
prevent the negroes voting in this
county next Wednesday He says he
at once saw an opportunity to unmask
men he believed we're not what they
pretended to to be and determined TO
assume acquiescence for the time being
IN order to lead them on. After some
preliminary. consultation Mr.. Bryant
SAYS it was agreed that for the sum OF
$500, afterwards increased to 800, he
and others would come to Fort Gaines
en- the day of the election to control
she negro voters, and that certain re
connoisance' was to be done in certain
parts of the county night or two be
lore to scare the negroes from other
precincts. He says it was understood
shat it might be necessary to kill sew
eral negroes to properly impress the
Others, and also to incite riot in For
Gaines, the probable consequences o
The latter being discussed and dul!

Swell Rural Delivery.

The SWEETEST rural free delivery
route in the country is to be establish
ed between Pleasant Hill and Burgfn,
in Kentucky. General Breckenridge
Casteman, who owns a splendid stock
farm at the former place, has put in a
bid for the contract and will probably
secure it. 1t is his purpose, he says,
to carry the mail in coach drawn by
four thoroughb bred horses. The coach
will be attended by two outriders and
a footman. all of whom, as we'll as the
driver. will be in uniform with cock
AIDES and brass buttons. The service
will cost General Castleman many
times its earnings, but he is in a posi-
tion to snap his fingers at the expense.

American RI ton.

Spain's long and bitter experience
in the Philippines, supplemented by
the briefer but more earnest Ameri-
can campaign, prove that only extra
ordinary measures will be productive
of unarmed peace in the Far Eastern
archipelago.
In Southern Luzon General Bell has
grappled boldly with the situation by
the issuance of reconcentrado or
der. His aim is to cut off the insur-
gent sources of supply and prevent
the secret cooperation of the osten-
sibly peaceful elements of the popu-
lation with the fighting natives.
Having protested against Weyler's
RECOMMENDATION order and the results
of the British camp system in South
Africa, the United States will now be
accused of stultifying itself. We shall
be assailed with charges of inconsist-
ency and criticised for adopting
measures which we have condemned
Perhaps it will be well to await
and contemplate the results of the
RECOMMENDATION system under Ameri-
can auspices compared with that I'M
der other authorities. There is moth
ing barbarous in the RECOMMENDATION
remedy itself; it is the maiadminis-
tration of the system that produces
misery.
In Cuba the cry was against the
starvation of the reconcentrados: in
South Africa the voice of condemna-
ton is raised largely because of the
havoc wrought by disease. If General
Bell can manage to keep the non
fighting elements in Southern LuZon
under surveillance without the ap-
pearance Of the miseries already men
toned he will show that both the
Weyler and the Kitchener administra-
tions in this feature of warfare were
at fault.
No sane American believes for n
moment that a repetition of the hor-
rors of Cuba will be permitted in Lu-
zon, and we have enough faith in the
United States military authorities
there to believe that while they hold
the pacificos in control they will see
that there is enough food and cloth
ing to go around.

FRANK FOR MRS. MCKINLEY.
Bill Passes senate and Measure for

The widow of the late President Nc

Senate.
Senator Gallinger made favorable re-

The committee recites former special
grants made to widows of Presidents.
Martha Washington was given the
franking privilege. and Louise Catharine
Adams was accorded the same privilege,
both by act of Congress.
The widow of William Henry Harrison
received $4,000 less any amount that
had been paid her husband in salary dur
ing the single month he served as Presi-
dent. The franking privilege was also
added in this instance.
Dolly Madison was also given the
ranking privilege, and Mrs. Polk re-
ceived pension of s., ,0O0
Mrs. Taylor was given only the frank
ing privilege. but Mrs. Tyler received a
pension of 5000.
Mrs Abraham Lincoln secured a pen

Enthusiasm in Demand.

One earnest man can arouse the en-
thusiasm of q dozen. Two enthusias-
tic men can convert Il hundred citi-
zens to a good cause. Ten enthusiastic
men can sway multitude.
Even the one-man power has been
demonstrated in the most spectacular
fashion recently. Carnegie arouses
the intelligent elements of all civiliza-
ton by his practical philanthropy in
behalf of public enlightenment.
Kipling, his poetic soul stirred by
the crisis and its need, excites the
British Empire and holds the atten-
tion of the world.
Enthusiasm is contagious, but not
dangerous. 1t is something every
body ought to have in live COM
munity, an ambitious municipality.
Enthusiasm is creative force. 1t
has produced all the triumphs of ev-
cry age.
Washington needs enthusiasm. 1t
is the tonic that will give the neces-
sary strength for great achievements.
Without it progress is impossible.
There is an abiding hope that the
citizens of the National Capital will
become inoculated.

.Janan's Public School system.

1--WE have a public school system in
Japan modelled closely after that Of the
United States" said Mr.. S. Saito, of To-
kyo, in the lobby of the Arlington.
Il do not believe there is a country in
the world where education is more highly
priced than throughout the Empire Of
Japan. The primary schools cover a
period OF seven years, then comes a four
years course in the grammar schools,
after which the pupils arc ready for aca-
demic or high school work. which cor
responds to the collegiate curriculum of
the United States. During the elementary
period the boys and girls are instructed
together, but after reaching the grammar
grades they are taught separately. In the
latter half of the primary work the study
of the English language is taken up. and
continued in the higher courses Thou
sands of young men in our country are
imbued with a keen ambition to make
themselves proficient in English, which
is regarded as next in Importance to the
mother tongue, and the number that can
speak il fairly well is surprising"

shrill cry raised in certain quarters
against this project by those whose

In proportion to their services they

TUBERCULOSIS EXPERIMENTS
Washington Scientists Do Not Take
stock in DR.. Barney.

Washington scientists do not take much
stock in the experiments of DR.. George c.
Barney, OF Brooklyn, who undertook to
disprovc DR.. Kochs theory of the non
transmission of tuberculosis from cattle
to mankind by experimenting ON Miss
Emma n. King.
Dr. d. r. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, who is recognized
authority on bovine tuberculosis and the
author OF a bulletin designed to refute
the theory of Koch, said yesterday that
he did not think DR.. Barney's experiments
were sufficient grounds for his conclu-
sions.
In the first place" said DR.. Salmon.
'it was a criminal act to inoculate the
girl with tuberculosis at all. Then il
appears from the doctors own statement
that the animal from which the girl was
inoculated did not have bovine bat human
tuberculosis" "
