Fire Destroys Mr.. Woodward's Home.
The residence of Mr.. Jesse P.
Woodward, No. GA South Second
street, was attacked by fire Friday
morning, and, together with its con
tents, was practically destroyed be-
fore the flames were under control.
The fire, which broke out shortly be
fore ten o'clock, was caused by a de-
fective flue. The storm which recent
ly passed over the city blew off the
top of the kitchen chimney, and the
brick mason who was sent to repair
the damage did not perform his work
thoroughly. The portion of the stove
pipe between the ceiling and the roof
was left unprotected, and when the
pipe became abnOrmally hot Friday
morning flames broke out.
The fire department responded
promptly when the alarm was turned
in but the firemen were able to do
little toward retarding the progress
of the flames. The building burned
rapidly, and only a portion of the
furniture was saved. The furniture
which was saved was in a more or
less damaged condition, having suf-
fered from water as we'll as from the
flames.
The house was the property of Mr..
T. G. Owen, and was valued at ST.
500. The building was insured for
$500, and the loss on furniture,
which is estimated by Mr.. Woodward
at about $500, was also partially
covered by insurance.

Ordination at SOUTHEAST Baptist
Church.

On Thursday night at the regular
prayer meeting service, two of the
leading members of the SOUTHEAST
church were ordained Deacons, Mr.
A. p. Bradley and Mr.. D. A. Alexan-
der. After the ordination sermon
was preached by Rev W. w. Whit
field. who took as his theme. THE
necessity for the organization and es-
tabIishment of the church upon earth,
and the office of deacon as part
thereof, and his duties. which he
handled in a forceful and interesting
manner, the charge was then i'm
pressively delivered by Rev. ". A.
Hewitt and a touching prayer fol-
lowed by Rev. J. ". Beatty. The be-
loved pastor, Rev. J. H. Newton,
as director. had the brethren come
forward and the laying on of hands
and blessings of the DeacOns of the
church and the pastors who com
posed the presbytery were very sol
emn ceremonies. Rev. Mr.. Newton
is a live, progressive pastor, and is
giving great satisfaction to his
church and community, and the
church is to be congratulated in
securing such a man as their Shep-
herd.

Merchants Credit Association.

Mr.. H. c. Warield has been in
Meridian for the past few days in
vestigating the plan of organization
and the advantages to be derived in
the Merchants Credit Association,
and it is understood that he will re-
turn today and that the movement
to establish a branch of the organi-
zation will be launched in this city
this week. The plan proposed now
is for the local association to be fed
Grated with other associations over
the State and it is believed that there
Will be little trouble in establishing
the organization here.
There has long been a need for
some such organization in this city
and Mr.. w. II. Carter a few months
ago earnestly advocated its establish
ment. That was the beginning and
now that others have become inter
ested in it, it is thought that it will
speedily be brought into life. Co
lumbus has never had any associa-
ton OF this kind and with the devel-
opment of the city and the constantly
increasing population it is becoming
imperatfvely needed The Dispatch
will have more to say of the move
ment as soon as Mr. Warfeld has re-
turned and the plan for the formula
ton Of the local branch has been
completed.

Prohibition will Help.

A recent death in this city calls
to mind two other deaths from a
similar cause.-the drinking OF
whisky which has been %adulterated
with the deadly poison, wood alco-
hol. A citizen of a town, some
little distance south of here, died
last night from the effects of wood
alcohol drinking, and a year ago a
white man from Manchester died
in his cart in Fayetteville from
the same cause.
The physician who attended this
latest victim and deceased bro
Their told an Observer reporter to-
day that it is a well-known fact
that much of the so-called corn
whiskey, which is sold around
here, is adulterated with wood
alcohol, which can be purchased
at a price cheaper than the cheap
corn whisky. This is indeed a
fearful revelation. Is there not
some way to aprevent this awful
Observer.

Strong Drink Must Go.

We hear a call to arms, each one,
And for the fight prepare;
The battle surely must be won;
Strong drink we cannot bear.
The call goes forth, we must obey,
And in the battle go.
And fight for those who're led astray
By drink, their deadly foe.
We see our friends, and loved ones too,
Bound down with chains Of steel;
The links are forged with still-house
The horrors now they feel.
We see our boys, with nerves u~nstrung,
Staggering home at night;
They, by the viper, have been stung;
Oh, what a dreadful sight!
They meet some one out on the street,
IT'S not a friend you know,
And to the bar-room, there to treat
Each other, they will go.
They spend their money there for drink,
That drags them down in shame,
And makes their future lives to sink
Below a decent aim.
But to the bar-rooms they will 60,
And drink the deadly rum,
Until from out their mouths will flow
The loathsome, filthy scum.
A mothers prayers they will not heed
Her tears they will not see,
Strong drink has bound them fast in
deed;
From it they will not flee.
In shame they stagger on the street,
And in the bitches fall;
Their shame is now almost complete:
Strong drink caused it all.
Their wives at home, with breaking
heart,
Their lonely vigils keep;
Each step they hear will make then
And in their misery weep.
Their chileren's cry for bread is heard
While clothing they have need;
His anger they would have incurred,
If with him they did plead.
With savage hand he strikes his child,
And curses on it heap;
! Strong drink mas made him mad ant
wild,
Damnation he will reap.
And in his rage he strikes his wife,
The hard and cruel blow,
That breaks her heart and takes he1
Strong a1lS drink, the deadly foe,
Drink, his manhood has destroyed;
His health is ruined too;
Of common seEse he is void,
His life is almost through.
Disease is taking hold, and soon
From earth he'll pass away;
The grave to him will be no boon:
In torment he must stay.
His children, left without a home,
No one for them to care;
They, through this sinful world must
roam;
Of strong drink, Oh beware!
So to the battle let US go,
With banners floating high.
Nor falter as we face the foe,
But sound the battle cry.
Strong drink must co., tits wrought
enough
Misery and disgrace.
Drive out the awful, deadly stuff
And let it have no place.

Every time you see one of our advertisements 1T IS a new

remedy, Gowan's Pneumonia Cure. This preparation grows
daily in public esteem, 1t is external and can do no harm.
It is cheap, 25 and so cents Or one dollar for the big bottle,
and all druggists sell 1t. One lady customer has written us
at Durham that she is FASTING our advertisements IN a scrap
book, as she wants to know what will come next. Ii every
body wanted to know what would come next and prepared
for Pneumonia, Group, Colds, and Appendicitis, by having
a bottle of Gowan's on hand, the census taker would get
more names next time he goes round.

unable to succeed in entering the

office into a rear lot. On account
of their lack of success, the robbers
are supposed to be amateurs.
