a number of towns. They were given
pretty fair sized audience at Lake

frost of the most pronounced type.
The farmers in the neighborhood of
Garden City are too busy to listen to
calamity talk. Messrs. Hammond and
Works arrived in Garden City early in
the afternoon and waited patiently for
the hour when the meeting was to be
called to order. But few people cared
to hear them talk. Passers-by were re-

ITHACA, N. Y, June 22.-That
Betsy Ross did not make the
American flag and that the well
known picture showing her sewing

the Rev. William Elliot Griffis, au-
thor and lecturer, in an address
before the G. A. r. posts of this
city. THE Betsy Ross house for
which American school children
are donating as a memorial is at
best of doubtful authenticity. and
there is no documentary evidence
that Betsy had anything to do with

probably neither so young nor so

MACON TELEGRAPH
 IS BURNED OUT

Macon. Ga, November 3.-One man was killed and property loss of s1o0,00O re- suited when the Macon Telegraph build ing was completely gutted by fire early tonight.
 Raymond Clay, a printer was burned to death. He had come to the city from Knoxville looking for work, and without sleep lay down to get some rest in the rear of the composing room. AS the fire spread with such great rapidity from the back to the front of the building Clay was forgotten In the rush for safety by the other employees.
 Only about half of the files of the paper dating back for 75 years were saved. c. R. Pendleton, editor of the paper, also. it is feared, lost valuable collection of old works on history and Georgia subjects.
 The fire as far as can be learned start ed from three boys smoking cigarettes at the back of the building, a ''butt, drop- ping into some paper. The efforts of the firemen were chiefly confined to keep ing the flames from spreading to the ad- Joining buildings, one of which is occu- pied by the Macon Evening News.
 Half an hour after 1t was seen that the Telegraph plant was a total loss the, working force was transferred to the Evening News office and the regular morning edition was being gotten out.
