The February Everybody's.

The February Eyerybodt-sh has another
first-class "scoop'-nothing but state
ment of what the Democratic party now
stands for, by the new leader OF the
Democracy in the House-Congressma
John Sharp Williams. There could be no
more valuable contribution to the APP
preaching Presidential controversy than
this definitite avowal of principles by the
distinguished leader whose clever work
in Congress has attracted SO much atten-
ton. Another competent feature is Emory
r Johnson's explanation of "What the
Panama Canal will do for the Country"
The author is member OF the Isthmian
Conal Commission who devoted his at
tention to collecting the statistics which
should demonstrate the economical value
of the great waterway, and ne is the chief
expert in America on his subject. If ex-
cellence in magazine making consists in
combining authority with entertainment
this February ErerybOdy's should find
even greater favor than it's predecessors.
In addition to the foregoing there are
ten stories-one in verse-and good yirile
stories with plots in them, at that. A
superb series of pencil drawings OF Phila-
delphia by Vernon Howe Bailey-as good
an art feature as any magazine has had

A WeIi-Deserved Tribute.
Manufacturers Record

At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, held at the company's office in
New York on January .27, 1904, the
following report of the committee ap-
pointed to prepare the resolutions at
the board meeting of December ~,
1903, was adopted and ordered to
be entered on the minutes OF the
meeting:
"Mr. John Shelton Williams having
this day declined a reelection to the
presidency of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Co., preferring, for personal
reasons, to assume the position OF
chairman of the board, the directors
cannot let the occasion pass without
expressing their appreciation OF the
great service which he has rendered
during his occupation OF his high
office.
"Out of a number of disjointed and
comparatively Improbable railroads
his genius and energy evolved, III a
wonderfully brief period Of time, a
new and consolidateds system of roads
under one management, extending to
all the Atlantic ports South OF Wash
ington and to the Gulf Of Mexico on
the South and to Birmingham and
Montgomery on the Southwest.
Under his able management this sys-
TEN of railroads has been built up,
improved and extended until it has
become a successful and formidable
competitor with the older North and
South lines Under his admlnistra-
ton the earnings of the system have
increased from $S,OOO,OOO to more
than $13,OOO,OOO.
p "He retires from the presidency at
a time when the prospects for in
creased business are bright ana
bri tightening every day.
1--WE think we may congratulate the
stockholders and the people OF the
South that they are not to lose the
services of Mr.. Williams, but that he
is to be transferred to a position in
which he will be able to give the full
benefit of his great and varied talents
to the development of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway system, while at the
same time he will give that attention
te his own personal affairs which he
feels that they require"

Senator Simmons.

Rev. p R. Law in Lumberton Robesoinan
That was an able speech made by
Senator Simmons in the Senate few
days ago in behalf of the Panama
canal. 1t was creditable key and
throughout dignifed and states
manlike. He is a growing man.
Every successive effort he makes APP
pears the stronger. He has the cour-
age of his convictions. This is the
first speech of the members on his
side of the chamber in behalf of this
great project. His position is a con-
sentative one He is for the canal in
the abstract. All his constituents
are with him, or ought to be, in the
matter. His position is conditional,
and should be. No thoughtful man
will criticise that. If it should be dis
covered that the administration has
done this or that, his views ought to
be changed For our own part, we
make bold to say that nothing will
be unearthed that should lead any
Senator to reverse his resolve to vote
for the canal at Panama.

BALTIMORE SUFFERS BY GREAT
FIRE

One of the most disastrous fires in the
history of the country has just visited
the city of Baltimore. The principal
wholesale and business and banking dis
trict was devastated. The fire started at
about IL o'clock Sunday morning and
before it was finally checked. The burned
area covers about IS squares, or 40
acres, extending from Lexington street,
on the North, to Pratt street, on the
South; from Liberty street, on the West,
to Jones Falls, on the East. Buildings
which were the pride of Baltimore are
tire blocks were swept away without a
wall being left standing
An account says: The fire originated
in the large wholesale dry goods estab-
lshment of John f.. Hurst & Co., sup
posed to have been caused by an explo-
sion of gasOlene. This was soon followed
by another deafening crash and dense
columns OF cinders and smoke SHOT up
over the cenral section of the city, and in
a huge brown column, moved rapidly
toward the Northwest. Pieces of tin six
by eight feet square were lifted il to the
air by the terrific heat, sailed u award
like paper kites, and when they reached
point beyond the scene of the most in
tense heat fell gathering to the streets.
Crash after crash could be heard within
the burning district. Borne on the strong
Southeast wind the column of smoke.
blazing cinders spread over the center of
the city and rain of cinders fell. COM
pelling pedestrians to dodge red hot
pieces OF wood.
Seventy-fve blocks and nearly $500
buildings were swept away. The city
staggers under the great financial loss.
the damage to buildings alone being
placed at $3.50, 000,G More than 90
600 people are thrown out of employ
ment
Baltimore is a city of something more
than half million inhabitants aud it's
property is assessed for taxation at
$685., 34S ,52S. So far as the value of
property destroyed is concerned, it will
be recorded as the greatest conflagra-
tion of the country.

remedy, and we hope that other dear ones

The reason that Vinol accomplishes
such wonderful results in throat bron-
chial and lung troubles is because it con-
tains in concentrated form all the vital
principles of cod liver oil, but without q
drop OF oil to nauseate and upset the
stomach and retard it's medicinal value;
the weakest stomach can retain it and
it is delicious to the taste
VinOl is the most valuable preparation
