Colder weather retail trade and influences reorder business with jobbers.

THE PRESIDENT AT ROSWELL.
Heart-Felt Speech at the old Home of His Mother.

Roswell, Ga, Oct 20.-President
 Roosevelt today carried out his long
 cherished plan of visiting the home of his mother, Roswell. Ga One of his
 reasons for coming South was that he
 might see the old homestead where his mother spent her girlhood and which
 she left a happy bride. That the visit
 was fraught with many tender recol- | lections was evident and as his carriage drove away from the old Bulloch man sion where his mother lived and mar ried the President murmured to Mrs. Roosevelt: T can hardly bear to leave here"
 The President reached Roswell at 7:3O o'clock this morning and was | joined here by Senator and Mrs. Clay, who were his guests at breakfast. He | then entered carriage and was driv- en to the mansion. This fine old | homestead is now the property of J. D. Wing. a lumber merchant of this section, who lives in 1t with his sister, Mrs. Wood, the postmaster of Roswell
 Here he was greeted by two old ser wants who lived on the place during his mothers young Womanhood. One of these Is Aunt Grace" who acted as maid to Miss Martha Bulloch, who afterward became Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and the other is William Jackson, who decorated the mansion on the occasion of the marriage of it's young mistress. The President was deeply touched as he shook the hands of these old servitors. In company with Mrs. Roosevelt, he then inspect ed the house calling to the attention of the company many incidents con nected with his mothers childhood. Before leaving the mansion he posed with Mrs. Roosevelt for a picture which included Aunt Grace" and Daddy William
 welcomed by Mercer Student.
 From the homstead the President was driven to the town park where stand had been erected from which he delivered a short address. Here he was welcomed to Roswell by Charles M Reed student of Mercer Unvier- sity, who in the course of well chosen address, said that the only reason he could see for the selection of himself to deliver this welcome, was because of the Presidents well known fondness for having young men iden- tified with public affairs senator Clay introduced the President. who was enthusiastically greeted as he arose to speak. He said:

NEW SYSTEM WILL BE CON-
EARLY IN DECEMBER.
The Old Syndicate Formed to Ac.
quire Road From Baltimore
Was Dissolved Today.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Having COM
pleted the work for which it was
created, the West Virginia Central and
Western Maryland purchase synii-
cate was today dissolved. The syndi-
cate was formed in March, 1902, to
purchase the Western Maryland rail-
road from the city of Baltimore and
to acquire otner railroads in Mary
land and West Virginia for the Gould
interests. The last link connecting
these lines and forming a through
line from Baltimore to Bellingham, w.
Va, a distance of about five hundred
miles, will be completed in December,
and the final consolidation of all the
properties will soon take place. The
syndicate consisted of Myron T. Her
rick, Winslow S. Pierce, Edward l..
Fuller, Alvin w. Krech, Howard
Gould and Joseph Ramsey, jr.
The extension which will be COM
pleted in December, joins the West
ern Maryland and the West Virginia
Central properties. Upon it's compile
ton it is expected that there will be
a considerable increase in traffic
from the coal fields, which the rail-
road owns to it's terminals at tide
waters. To meet the requirements or
the new traffic twenty-six locomo-
tives and 1900 cars have been ordered.
A large area of new coal land has
recently been acquired. The securl-
rites to be distributed, now tnat the
syndicate has been dissolved are $10,-
900 of Western Maryland ponos
and s15,OO0,OOO Of the common stock
of that company.

NOBLE OUT ON PAROLE
Promises Judge Brents That He Will
be Good Hereafter.

"Bill, you are a pretty good fellow
when you are sober, but when you are
drunk you are dangerous, and if you
are not careful you will hurt somebody
one of these days. I am going to let
you go this time, but I want you to
understand that you are to leave your
wife alone and you are not to bother
Marvin Evans, your wife's attorney. If
I hear of your getting drunk any more
1 won't be So easy next time"
Judge Brents said whole lot more
this morning when William Noble was
brought before him to answer to a con
tempt of court charge, but as two
weeks in Jail seemed to have had a
softening effect on Noble and he prom
ised that he would begood hereafter if
he was discharged, the court consented
to give him another trial. The judge
warned Noble especially to leave his
wife and Attorney Evans alone, prom
ising that dire things would happen if
the order was not obeyed.

at this time of firing the shop, but l
am satisfied that the buildings were
deliberately burned" Mr.. Severance
said. 1.-The fire started in the north
end of the wood working plant, and in
a place where it would be almost i'm
possible for a fire to start unless de-
liberately set. The building at that
point had a dirt floor, and the only
combustible material was several hun
dred slaves used in building water
tanks. These were damp, as the floor
was wet from the rains of the past
few days. There was no one at work
about the shops yesterday and conse-
quently there could have been no fire.
The shops were thoroughly cleaned Of
shavings a few days ago when we took
an invoice Of material On hand. Since
then there was little work done in the
wood working plant.

THE CE-BROUGHTON
PLANT DESTROYED By FIRE
SUNDAY MORNING.
Believed to Have Been Incendiary-
Loss Placed at $1,000, With Small
Insurance.

Fire, fully believed to have been set
by enemies of the firm, practically de-
stroyed the wood working plant and
damaged the machine shops of Sew
erance & Broughton, located in the
northeastern portion of Walla Walla,
at II o'clock yesterday forenoon. Mr..
Severance this morning placed his
firms loss at $1,000, with insurance Of
less than one-tnird this amount.
Several peculiar circumstances con-
nected with the fire leads the firm to
believe that the shops were deliberate
ly burned by enemies. The whole
matter was turned over to the police
for investigation this morning and
Mr.. Severance said that some startling
developments may be looked for with
in the next day or so. Mr.. Severance,
however, refused to divulge the names
Of the persons believed to be respons'-
BILE for the fire, saying that when the
whole matter had been sifted down
it would be time enough to make a
statement.
The plant burned stood on the site of
the old tanning mill property. An
alarm was turned into the central sta
ton at 10: 40 by an employe of the
Myers foundry, which is located close
to the Severance & Broughton plant.
When first discovered the blaze was
confined to the wood working part of
the plant. Owing to the distance of the
burned plant from city fire hydrants,
some little time was lost in getting
water on the blaze. Steamer No. 1 was
set at the Weber pond and it was nee.
essary for the firemen to lay HOO feet
of hose to reach the burning buildings.
The steamer from the sub -tation was
set at Touchet and Oak and 900 feet
of hose laid. Although only two
streams could be generated, the fire.
men after half hours work succeed
ed in saving the brick buildings used
as machine shops. The roof was burn
ed off the machine shops, but an ex-
animation of the lathes and other
machinery this morning leads the
firm to believe that they are not Sc
riously damaged. The principal damag
was to the machinery and material on
hand and the wooden building in which
the wood working plant was located.
lncendiaries Undoubtedly.

with an iron roof. We will start work
as soon as the insurance is adjusted
and we can clean up the debris re-
sulting from yesterdays fire. I ap-
proximate our loss at $1,000. We had
$2500 insurance on the whole plant,
so our actual loss will go we'll over
$4,000. The machinery destroyed was
lately installed at an expense Of sew
eral thousand dollars.
