SOCIETY GIRLS ARE
HEROINES OF FIRE
Miss Dolly MacGavin of This
City and Santa Barbara Maid
Show Rare Bravery

Two girls proved themselves hero
ines at the fire that destroyed the
Arlington hotel in Santa Barbara on
Sunday night. They have very mod
estly made little of their part in the
rescue work. but guests of the hotel
declare that all honor should be ac-
corded to Miss Lolita Burling of Santa
Barbara and Miss Dolly MacGavin Of
San Francisco. They were the first to
discover the blaze, and with great pres
ence of mind fastened to warn the
people in the hotel Unmindful of the
danger to themselves they rushed
through the corridors and assisted
many of the women and children to
places of safety.
Miss Burling lives with her grand
mother, Mrs. William Burling, in a cot
tage opposite the Arlington. Miss Mac

ried, across the street into the hotel
and, without spreading a panic, warned
the guests in the lobby of the danger
Then they sped to the dining room,
well filed at the time. The steward
believed they were joking when they
told him the place was on fire. Fear
ing that If they sounded the cry Of
Fire" a stampede would ensue they
entreated the steward until he was
quietly told of, the danger and. gath

safety.
In the meantime, Miss MacGavin and

halls. where they found a number OF

which by this time had gained consid-
erable headway. They took the little
ones out into the open and then re-
turned to the burning building to rem
der further assistance. They knew
that there were many elderly women
in the hotel, and went from. room to
room spreading the alarm. They as
sisted several women and escorted
them from the structure
During the entire time the two girls
never lost their self-possession. 1t
was not until they were assured that
every one had left the building that
they ceased in the rescue work.
Miss MacGavin and Miss Burling are
prominent in society circles here and
in Santa Barbara. Many OF those who
witnessed their bravery have expressed
the hope that they might receive Car

Kent made his protest as soon as
he learned that the government was
about to deed away in perpetuity con-
cessions in the Tahoe forest reserve
which would give the Truclee COM
psny a powerful grip on the power
rights OF the region. The agreement,
as drawn up by the reclamation serv-

Good Roads in limestone.

we have good roads up our way and are planning to build more" said A J. Eaton of Belle Nina, Limestone county. who is spending a few days with his son. Jack Eaton. in Birmingham. "A large amount of roadwork has just been com pleted, while great deal more is under way. You will find a large number of good roads enthusiasts up my way and We are with The Age-Herald in this movement for good roads all over the state, and between the newspapers and the people we should be able to develop a fine road between Birmingham and Nash vile. This would be great, and Lime stone county will do everything towards furnishing a splendid highway between these two cities.p
 Mir. Eaton stated that the reports in reference to a short crop this fall were not exaggerated in the least. Rather 1t might be said that they are not coored near enough to the actual truth, and you know what the Tennessee valley is,' he said. "If this valley, with its richness of soil, is short, what must the case be in the poorer lands?"

Parties and lhe Income Tax

Already the lines are being drawn both as to the income tax amend ment and as to the corporation tax in the tariff bill. Democrats and pro- gressive republicans favor both, and in the middle west conventions con- trolled by either readily adopt resolu- tions to that effect
 But in the states east of Ohio the progressive republicans are out-num- bered in their party. The standpat republicans in New York, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and New England decline to indorse either the corpor- ation tax or the income tax amend ment They say both were forced on the party in Congress by the demo- crats and insurgents. and they de- cline to consider either party meas ures.
 The democrats, however, indorse both, and both in this way go be- fore the people and both will be test ed in the November elections. The final popular test will however, come next year, which Is to be political year in all of the states, for mem- bers of new congress are to be elected as well as many state officers. After November of next year we will all know how the corporation tax and the income tax amendment stand in the popular mind.

A PLEA FOR BUSINESS.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

run tilC hoit6oiHCIy AdNeTll6eT.
 Probate Judge l.. H. Reynolds of ChiI- ton county in calling to order the political meeting at Clanton took occasion to de- liver a slur at the press of Alabama. He specified The Advertiser and the Birming- ham Age-Herald, asking .If little paper in South Alabama was offered $500. what are papers like the The Advertiser and The Age-Herald getting?":
 This was an uncalled for attack made in cowardly inuendo. The Advertiser in this fight is just as honest, and much more disinterested, than either the probate judge. who is candidate for re-elec- ton, or his political ally, the governor of Alabama, who has his political schemes wrapped up in the amendment.
 In the same speech Judge Reynolds rec commended to his hearers to take two Bir- mingham daily afternoon papers because of the righ moral grounds that they have taken on the issue. The Advertiser is re- liably informed that one of these Bir- mingham papers is the only paper of Ala bama, weekly or daily, that has solicited the anti-amendment headquarters for the business of publishing advertisements against the amendment. Not once. but twice, we are informed this paper and the only one of Alabama. wrote asking for advertisements against the amendment.
