There something interesting reviewing the history Of
the great conagrons of the past They mount into the
hundreds and probably thousands and the fire waste or
losses by fire have been enormous.
Going back about thousand years. say 1897 years
before Christ first conagration of which have any
record that of Sodom and Gomoah We have records
saved only few lots, and one Pillar of Salt.
400 years B. 6 Jerusalem burned. 14l years b. O.
Ephesus destroyed by fire. and between 800 and 22 B.
Paris burned; 1913 London; in 174S Moscow; in 1920
Savannah Ga; in 1888 Charleston; in 1915 New York. in
1859 Key West in 1870 Chicago; IN 1872 Boston, IN 1913
Havana in 1892 ST. Johns Foundland 1901 Jackson
ve in 1906 San Francisco in 1908 Chelsea Boston, are
few of the places which have suffered heavily from losses
by fire In recent have some record OF the
amount of the losses For instance IN San francisco the loss
350000000; in Chicago $168000000 in Boston $4,000
O00 in Toronto and ST. Johns each $135O00OO In jackson
VILE Fla 48 blocks burned and the loss ST. 000oOo
in Spokane $60O0000 and The losses are appalling
yet the world from them and produces more wealth
We that from the time of Abraham down to the present
day conagraons have occurred and is reasonable to
sumo that they will continue to occur
We should do all to prevent their recurrence, by
improving methods of construction of buildings ncreas
ing the efficiency of fire departments by equppng them
We should aim to reduce the fire waste every fire
destroys wealth which has to be reganed the country is to
progress After doing all in power prevent the losses
bv fire we NAV still expect them to come and long
have fires will need to distribute the burden that
may be borne.
by of Fire Insurance Companies They collect from the
many and pay the comparatively few who have the losses
Most of the business done by companies for
companies foreign to the United States The south will be
much prosperous if it will keep the amount necessary
pay insurance premiums home instead OF sending 1t out
of the state and into foreign countries.
Some of the states the east have been made rich with
insurance money gathered from other states IN the Unon
and south has than its share outside OF her own
borders.

TEACHING THE FARMERS
TO BLOW UP THEIR STUMPS
BY CLYDE w. ENNIS

Pont Powder company of this city, Mr..
Powell and his corps of officers plan to
show the farmers that a great deal of
time, money and labor can be saved in
clearing their fields of stumps, If they
use dynamite to blow them up. The first
demonstration occurred a few days ago
at Gadsden. A representative of the
powder company blew up several stumps
for the farmers. which was witnessed
also by large number of business men.
1t was shown that a real husky live
stump could be blown into smithereens
by placing from 10 cents to 30 cents
worth of dynamite directly underneath
the center of the stump. The demon
stration will take place at every small
town between Meridian and Chattanooga.
This is probably the first time in Amer
lean railroading that such a small mat
ter has received such active thought
from what are ordinarily busy railroad
executives.

however, there is a slight gain. there

comes from an increase in the white pop
