Of French Guiana, has sent to the Jar,

at one time appear to come from the
trees. at others from the sky. and
sometimes from the midst OF the crowd
itself. The flesh OF the birds Is said
to be more savory than that OF pleas

New Building tor the Insane
Destroyed by Fire.

Special to News and Courier.
Columbia, Jan, 90 Fire this
morning, about $50 o'clock, des-
troyed the Taylor building, a
four-story brick structure, of the
Hospital for the Insane, with a
loss of about $4,000 and insur
ance of S12,C0 Fortunately the
building had not yet been put to
use, but the cots and other furnish
ings had been put in and patients
would have occupied it in q few
days.
The fire was discovered by one
of the watchmen and at the time
was confined to the northeast cor
ner of the basement. A hurried
run was made to the main build
ing and an alarm turned in, but
the box failed to work. The po-
lice station was called up and
Box Al turned in from there,
calling out the tiremen in blind
ing storm of sleet and rain.
BY this time the flames had
spread over the entire building,
going straight through the floors
until the fourth story was reached.
A corridor connecting the Taylor
building with tho east wing of tho
main building was cut through
and the firemen poured tons of
water on the flames to prevent
their spreading.

Sufficient, Though.

Sena:or~slect A. G. Latimer of
South Carolina is quoted as fol-
lows by The Baltimore Sun: "We
do not object to President Roose-
velt appointing negroes to office
on the ground of fitness, but we
do object to appointing SIMPLY on
the ground that he is a negro. "
There are numerous reasons to be
given WHY the President should
not appoint negroes in the South
TO Office, but the bassis of the
whole business is the race feeling.
White people, as rule, object to
colored office holders because they
are colored, and that is the whole
story. let it be enlarged upon at
will. Latimer's diagnosis of the
case brings to mind the contention
of some good citizens of North
Carolina some years ago who
wanted the commissioners of a
certain county to withhold liquor
license from all applicants ON the
ground that no man who would
