DR.. Daniel Bella, New York minis
ter, has compromised his claim against
the New York Central railroad for the
fracture Of 20 bones In viaduct col
Iision last fall. Figuring on the basis of
$1,000 bone, the company has agreed
to pay him 10000 for his injuries. This
is considered to be quite a step in ad-
vance in regard to the basis for personal
injury claims.

One of the largest retail tobacco deal
ers in the United States says that the
consumption Of chewing tobacco has in
creased almost SO per cent in five years.
He attributes this increase to the auto
mobile, because it is impossible to enjoy
o cigar or pipe while whizzing along in
q motor car. There is also danger of
sparks or ashes from the lighted cigar or
pipe getting into the eyes.

THE COUNTY COMMITTEE
AND THE ORPHANS.

Chairman Fred Clark. of the County Cen
trail Committee, informs us that the committee
has donated the funds in the hands of the
committee after paying off the expenses of the
election, to the Georgia Industrial Home. at
Macon, commonly known as the Mumford home.
On the day of the election Mr. Clark got unan-
imous consent of the candidates to give $25
from the treasury to the boys who were here
with their band on that day. which makes in all
$85 given to Mr.. Gums institution This is in
striking contrast to the action of the old Irwin
committee, which put the funds left in its trea-
sury, in the pockets of the members of the cou
mittee leaving the Enterprise unpaid for the
tickets printed for the election. We don't
know whether the old Irwin county committee
will ever discharge its obligations not, but
certainly the new committee for Ben Hill has
set an example that is worthy of emulation not
only locally but ali over the state.
1t was not the purpose of the committee to
raise more funds than necessary to meet the
expenses of the primary. Calculating on about
two candidates for each Office it estimated
that they would need about two dollars from
each candidate for coroner and surveyor, about
five dollars from each candidate for commits
oner and about seven dollars from each of the
other candidates running in the primary. But
there was an unusual number of announcements
AID entries with the result that Chairman Clark
found himself burdened with surplus after
al expenses had been paid and the generous
christian spirit that dominates the committee
directed it into the right channel, aud Manager

finds himself in possession of nice~contribus

{. |. Todd's Planning Mills
Entirely Destroyed by Fire

Todd's Mill was burned this eve-
ming just before 3 o'clock. The
saw mill, planning mill, lumber
shed and quite a stock OF lumber
was all destroyed within thirty
minutes.
Without a dollars insurance,
the loss falls heavily on Mr.. &. l..
Todd, the sole owner of the mills.
The blaze was discovered on
the roof of the boiler house at
2:3O by Mr.. Todd's daughter. The
alarm was sent in and Mr.. Todd
thinks the department was tardy
in responding. The department
was out on the streets sprinkling
and were on the way to the fire
the instant we heard the alarm.
It is quite a long run and almost
out of reach of the fire plug.
For five or ten minutes it. ap-
peared that the dwelling, about
100 feet away from the plan
ing mill shed, would be burned,
but really there was no danger,
with one stream to protect it.
All of the buildings and sheds covered
quite aa area and the large quantity OF lumber
and material made one of the hottest hfes magin-
able. The barn across the alley from the saw
mill was saved, although at one time 1t looked
as ii it would be burned. With the excep-
tion of the large saw belt nothing was saved
from the outfit.
The fire department did not have fair
show on account of the long distance to go.
the long distance from the plug, the high
wind and the combustable material oa which
the flames fed.
The whole com munity sympathizes with
Mr.. Todd and his excellent family in the
very heavy loss they have sustained.
We trust that his friends in the commun-
ity will give him every encouragement and as
sistance that will enable him to reestablsh
his plant. He needs the income from it and
the community needs the pay roll that every
week contributed to Fitzgerald's volume OF
business.
