FIRE BROKE OUT AGAIN.

Department Called to simI<ins Store
n Second Time Yesterday Morning.
Though the fremen fought the flames
yesterday morning for several hours in
the wholesale produce establishment Of
W. d. Simkins & Co.. and the place
was more than a foot deep in water, all
of the flames were not subdued, and an
incipient blaze later in the day necessi-
tated the calling out of the firemen. A
line of hose was brought from fire
headquarters, and the fire was put out.
The loss OF the stock by the fire was,
as stated in the Morning News, com
plete. This did not necessitate but a
few hours discontinuance of the bust
ness of the firm, however, as it secured
new quarters at once. The firm also
had large amount of stock stored with
the various transportation companies.
so that ii suffered no loss other than
the intrinsic value of the stock, which
was fully insured.
The new quarters of the firm are IN
the building occupied by the old Sa-
vannah Grocery Company, 1918 Bay
street, west. The repairs on the burned
building will begin at once.

AT COST OF $4,000
WESTMINSTER CONGREGATION
WILL BUILD NEW CHURCH.
MANSE ALSO TO BE BUILT
AT ANDERSON AND BULL STREETS
OPPOSITE LAwTON MEMORIAL.

Property Has Frontage of 1O5 Feet
on Bull Street and 1877 on Ander-
sOn-Purchase Price Was $1,000.
Church building VIII be of Brick
and StOne-Neither Size Nor Plans
Yet Decided On Congregation
Has Been Using LautOn Memorial
Owns Sunday-schOOI Room at
barnard and Anderson Streets md
Manse at No. 1912 Barnard street,
Both of Which VIII Probably be
Sold.
A fine new church building of brick
and stone is to be erected by the con-
Sregation of the Westminster Presby-
tcrian Church at the southeast corner
of Bull and Anderson streets, directly
opposite the Lawton Memorial. in
which the congregation has held serv-
ices since the Memorial was built.
The church building will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 in addition to
the cost of the lot, which was $1,000.
This lot is eligibly located for a church
site, having frontage of los feet on
DUH SlleelS anu lGf IeeI on ANDERSON
street. The deal for the property has
already been closed.
In addition to the church building
the congregation will also erect a
manse on the lot, probably in the rear
of the church and fronting on Ander-
son street. No plans have as yet been
adopted for either building, but will
be soon, and then the work of build
ing will begin.
The Westminster Church congrega-
ton, which was organized COMPARE
lively short time ago, occupied for
a long time a small frame building at
Anderson and Barnard streets, now
used as a Sunday-school room. After
the completion of the Lawton Memorial
that edifice was secured for the Sun
day services and has been so used
ever since. The church also owns the
property of the pastors residence, No
1872 Barnard street.
1t is probable that both these proper
ties will be sold. though this, as well
as many other matters in connection
with the new church and manse, will
be determined later.

NO FENCE AROUND
REGlMENTAL ARMORY.

The fence around the First Regiment
Armory, a part of which was blown
down in a recent storm, has been re-
moved. The absence of the fence was
commented on by passersby yesterday,
and it was the generally expressed
opinion that its removal serves to
beautify the property. Many said that
it would be a great improvement if
the fence were not restored.
Mr.. Oscar S. Kulman, a prominent
and active member of the Chamber
of Commerce, was among those who
voiced this opinion. He said that the
old fence which has for so long
time encompassed the armory has been
an eye sore, and has detracted from
the appearance of the property. If
any new fence is erected, he says, it
is the desire of many citizens to whom
he has talked on the matter to have
lower, or wire, fence, instead of the
tall unslightly one which has stood
in the past.

The sugar war that has been on for

there is plan on foot to try and break
it. The consumers have been the ones
who have profted by the big cut in the

a week, and who says he is losing
money by the transaction, stated that
his company has no fear, and that In
