FIRE Az NEWTON

Newton was visited by another dis
astrous fire Thursday night. The fire
started early in the night in the store

with its contents. a varied stock of
general merchadise. From the Norris
building the flames spread to the Hotel
Ledbetter across the street. The latter
was two-story frame structure, and

ARREsTED 4 TEACHER.

A dispatch to the Times Mon from
Tampa says: In the county judges
court a warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Miss Stowell, one of the teach
ers Of the Sixth Avenue Grammar
School, charging the teacher with as
sault and battery. The warrant was
sworn out at the instigation of Walter
V. burst, who alleges therein that
Miss Stowell brutally beat Ernst
burst, a small brother. 1t is alleged
that the boy was not allowed TO take
recess with the remainder of the chill
dren, as punishment for an infringe
ment of the rules. He jumped out OF
a window, and when he returned the
teacher administered the drubbing
which caused the trouble in court.
Miss Stowell heard of the matter, and
went to the Office of the county super
intendent, and later gave herself up to
the sheriff. She was allowed to go on
her own recognizance, and an effort is
now being made by the superintendent
of public instruction and the principal
of the school to compromise the mat

PILor noATs mo- RACE.

A spirit of competition and rivalry
between the owners of the two pilot
boats, the Colt and the Kwasind, of
Pensacola, is stirring up both factions
to a point that is certain to lead to a
most interesting race-probably a Sc
ries of races-between the two fleet lit
tie vessels. The owners of the Kwa-
sind are having her put in racing trim
just as fast as possible. However, it
will require some days yet to get the
Kwasind in proper shape, and until
she is ready for sea the Colt will
probably have things her own way.
1t is said that there are at least two
fishing smacks at Pensacola that can
beat the Kwasind, and that in the
event the latter vessel can not hold
her own" with the Colt, it is alleged
one of the fast fishing smacks will at
once be got in racing trim and placed
in competition with the Colt.

COMBS CAUGHT FIRE.

What came very near being a Sc
rious and at the same time peculiar
accident occurred at Gainesville Sun
day. Miss Eva Thompson was kneel-

home on Greene street, wiping it off
with a cloth. when four cellulotd
combs in the hair caught fire from the
heat in the crate, and before she re-
allied what was the matter they had
blazed up and her head was encircled
in flames. Her brother Jasper Thomp-
son, was sitting near, and smelling a
peculiar odor, looked up to see the
head of his sister in a blaze. He in
stantly threw a paper over her head,
and put the flames out. but not before
they had burned her hair considera-

Up FOR LIFE At TWELVE.

Frank Harvey, a negro boy u years
old, has been taken to the state farm
to serve a life sentence for murder.
Harvey was convicted only a few days
ago of murder in Marietta, Cobb coun-
~. The boy killed a white man named
Ben Sanford with a rifle during the
Christmas week of 1902 The boy and
Sanford had some words over a trivial
matter, and the boy, who was hunting
with his rifle, shot Sanford, killing him
almost instantly. Frank Harvey is
said to be the youngest life convict in
the Georgia penitentiary, and, perhaps,
in the United States. 1t is said the evil
dence against the boy was a case of
wilful murder, but on account of his
extreme youth, he was sentenced as
stated.

spicer's Days in south Africa.

Chief officer Spicer of the British
steamship St. Dunston gives an ac-
count of his business experience in
the heart of Africa many years ago.
Mr.. Spicer was. early in 1886, engaged
by the Finley Bros. Expedition and
Trading Company to take charge of
one of the trading posts they were to
establish in Matadia, located about 200
miles up the Congo river. Matadia
is a Belgian possession. Spicer had
to compete with several other stores
that were owned and conducted by
Belgians. His firm imported all kinds
of fancy calicoes, head handkerchiefs,
ginghams, fancy beads and cheap
jewelry, for which he got in return
rubber, quinine, elephant tusks and
many other sorts of African products.
During the hot, sultry days when
business was. quiet Spicer frequently
formed hunting parties, taking with
him several of the natives as servants
and guides. They travelled through
the jungles, hunting horse antelopes,
crocodiles and hippopotamuses. The
natives of Africa all being skilful
hunters and experts with the bow and
arrow helped the party. These ma
tives were called pigmies. They be-
longed to what is known as the Bar
otse tribe and when full grown never
reached over four feet in hight Sew
eral were taken to England to be ex-
hibited TO the late Queen Victoria
They did not live long in England.
Though a harmless people, living wild
among the trees they were hunted
down and great numbers slaughtered
for sport.

PEACH TREES UNHURT.

The Macon Telegraph: Several
times during the present winter fears
have been expressed that the warm
weather might cause the fruit trees to
advance so much that the February
cold snaps might kill the prospects of
a crop of fruit during the spring. But
reports from the fruit belt indicate that
the trees are all right so far, and the
buds that are to be seen on the limbs
indicate that if no accident befalls
them there will be an abundance of
fruit again this year. OF course, no
one can attempt to say until after the
18th of April whether or not there will
be fruit crop, but 1t is always an
interesting subject for discussion from
the close of one season until the be-
ginning Of another, for the fruit crop
is as important to some portions of
Georgia as the cotton crop.
